The night passed uneventfully. When Chen Xing woke up in the morning, he still had a slight headache. This was the after-effect of drinking too much last night. Seeing that He Li was still sound asleep, Chen Xing left quietly without waking him up.
At around nine o 'clock in the morning, Chen Xing was listening to Yang Tianqing, the Deputy Director of the Finance Bureau, report on the fourth quarter of the year's finance work in his office. A trace of satisfaction appeared in Chen Xing's eyes at Yang Tianqing's tactfulness. Sending Zhou Fangyu, the Director of the Finance Bureau, to the Provincial Party Committee's Party School to learn had a deterrent effect. Of course, this also had to do with the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection meeting to report on Li Haocheng's case. Zhou Fangyu was a microcosm of Li Haocheng's faction. Now that Li Haocheng was in trouble, Zhou Fangyu had also lost a barrier.
Now that he could only tuck his tail between his legs, he could only listen to Chen Xing's orders. "Mayor, Deputy Director Ling is also very powerful. He's only the Executive Deputy Director. Against him, I'm still at a disadvantage. "After Yang Tianqing finished his report, he began to speak frankly about his difficulties. Chen Xing had asked him to take on the heavy responsibility of the Finance Bureau, but Ling Su was only the Executive Deputy Director. Moreover, he had the support of Ge Jian-ming, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, behind him. Now that Li Haocheng had fallen from power, Zhou Fangyu, the Director who relied on Li Haocheng, had also been sent to the Provincial Party Committee's Party School to learn. The Finance Bureau was facing a reshuffle. At a time like this, everyone hoped to have sole authority. Yang Tianqing was also willing to follow Chen Xing's orders, but Ling Su was his biggest obstacle.
In fact, Yang Tianqing knew very well that the current situation in the Finance Bureau was the result of a small confrontation between the Secretary and the Mayor. He and Ling Su were pawns in the hands of Ge Jian-ming and Chen Xing. They had no other choice. Of course, being a pawn didn't matter at all. As long as following Chen Xing closely could really help him become the Director, Yang Tianqing was absolutely willing to follow Chen Xing.
Chen Xing listened to Yang Tianqing's complaints and raised his head to look at him. Yang Tianqing's words seemed to be frankly expressing his difficulties, but it would be a big mistake to interpret it that way. Yang Tianqing was indirectly reminding him not to forget his promise to support him when he became the Director. For an ordinary Deputy Director like him to go up against an Executive Deputy Director like Ling Su, it was naturally a very difficult task. But if Yang Tianqing was determined to shed all pretense of cordiality, then he wouldn't feel any pressure at all.
It turned out that Yang Tianqing was in the same boat as Director Zhou Fangyu. In the bureau, he didn't have to worry about Ling Su at all. Admittedly, Ling Su had Ge Jian-ming as his backer, but Zhou Fangyu relied on the local forces, so there was no need for him to be overly cautious. Yang Tianqing was also following Zhou Fangyu closely, so he didn't have to give a damn about Ling Su. Now that Zhou Fangyu was on the verge of collapse, and Chen Xing had thrown him an olive branch, Yang Tianqing was willing to take this opportunity. However, this also meant that he would be completely at odds with Ling Su. If he couldn't get something in return, Yang Tianqing naturally wouldn't be willing to listen to Ling Su like an idiot.
How could Chen Xing not hear the hidden meaning in Yang Tianqing's words? He swept his gaze over Yang Tianqing's face and finally said, "Deputy Director Yang, hard work pays off, don't you think?
Yes, yes, Mayor, you're absolutely right. " Yang Tianqing was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a smile. He knew that he didn't have the right to bargain with Chen Xing, but that was how people were. When it came to their own future, they had to throw caution to the wind. He didn't dare to ask Chen Xing to make any promises, but he still dared to give him a subtle reminder.
Chen Xing's eyelids twitched. The other party was rather tactful, so he said, "Comrade Zhou Fangyu has been studying at the Party School. It's almost the end of the year now, and the Finance Bureau has a lot of work to do. It's time for you to take on this burden.
With your concern, support, and guidance, Mayor Chen, I'm exceptionally confident in doing my job well. " Yang Tianqing's attitude was proper, but he secretly muttered in his heart. After Zhou Fangyu went to the Party School, he didn't know what would happen to him when he came back. There was a high chance that he wouldn't be able to be the bureau chief anymore. Yang Tianqing couldn't help but sigh for Zhou Fangyu. After all, he had once cheered for Zhou Fangyu, but now, the world was unpredictable. It was said that the officialdom was as dangerous as a battlefield.
Yang Tianqing sighed, but he didn't have any extra sympathy for Zhou Fangyu. If Zhou Fangyu didn't go down, how could he have a chance?
Seeing that Chen Xing did not speak anymore, Yang Tianqing knew that it was time for him to leave. He bowed slightly and left tactfully. After Yang Tianqing left, Xiao Yuanqing came in. Xiao Yuanqing was here to report to Chen Xing about the construction of the resettlement houses. He brought a few representatives from Big Head Village to the construction site for a tour. All the villagers' representatives expressed their satisfaction. Each of their faces were filled with smiles and they had no objections.
In fact, as long as the villagers could move out of Big Head Village and have a place to settle down, they would be satisfied. As long as the place was not too remote, the villagers wouldn't have any objections. No matter where it was, it was better than living in Cancer Village. Furthermore, the place chosen by the city was close to the city center, and there were many factories nearby. It would be easy for them to find a job to make money in the future.
The construction progress must be fast, and the quality must be guaranteed. The villagers must move into the new houses as soon as possible. Chen Xing nodded and said. Xiao Yuanqing listened and took notes seriously in his notebook.
Mayor, when I went to Big Head Village yesterday, the villagers all gave you a thumbs up. They said that you love the people like your own children, and you are the real parent of the people. Only you are truly considerate of the people. Mayor, you are the first person to be respected by the people from the bottom of their hearts. Xiao Yuanqing closed the little notebook in his hand and said with a smile.
Is that so? Chen Xing smiled and looked at Xiao Yuanqing. Did the villagers say that, or did you say that?
Of course, it was the villagers who said it. Mayor, I don't dare to make such words up. Xiao Yuanqing said seriously, but his heart skipped a beat. It seemed that he didn't flatter the right person. Chen Xing didn't seem to like this kind of talk, but what he said was the truth. The villagers in Big Head Village did say the same thing. He didn't make it up to flatter Chen Xing. He was just flattering him.
Heh, if this kind of words reached the ears of some leaders, they would inevitably be displeased. Chen Xing muttered. His voice was not loud, so only he could hear it. Perhaps the commoners loved him from the bottom of their hearts. If they said that he was the only one who truly cared for the commoners, what would the other leaders think of him if he said that? Therefore, it was not an exaggeration to say that this kind of words was flattering. If it was someone else who said it, Chen Xing might think that it was someone with bad intentions. However, since it was said by the villagers, Chen Xing naturally wouldn't think too much about it. This was the sincere love and respect of the people that he had earned with his actions.
Xiao Yuanqing realized that his flattery just now didn't have the desired effect, so he quickly changed the topic. Mayor, I will supervise the whole process of the resettlement housing project. I will definitely complete it with quality and quantity.
Hmm, you have to pay more attention to this matter. The affairs of the people are no small matter. This resettlement housing project will be included in the next year's practical projects for the people. Chen Xing ordered. It was already November. Although the scale of the resettlement housing was not large, it would only be completed next year. The expenditure of the resettlement housing could be included in the next year's financial budget.
Mayor, don't worry. If there is any problem with the resettlement housing, you can hold me accountable. Xiao Yuanqing said seriously. He was also a responsible person, so he was not afraid to make such a military pledge. With the importance that Chen Xing attached to this matter, even if he didn't make a military pledge, he would still have to bear the responsibility if there was a problem with the project.
Xiao Yuanqing reported about the resettlement housing and left again. Chen Xing's busy work of the day had just begun. At present, it was just a microcosm. As the mayor, there were too many things that he had to take care of. Not long after Xiao Yuanqing left, Deputy Mayor Ma Linping came over. Ma Linping was the only member of the Democratic Party in the Municipal Government. In the Municipal Government, his position was relatively aloof. Of course, this aloof should be understood in the opposite way. It could be said that he was relatively marginalized. After all, the Democratic Party was the Democratic Party. Whose world did it belong to?
Ma Linping's position in the city government was more marginal, which could be seen from the work he was in charge of. Agriculture, forestry, water conservancy, ethnic and religious affairs, the Federation of the Disabled, and so on were all within his jurisdiction. Therefore, as the deputy mayor, Ma Linping's actual power was far inferior to the others. He came to Chen Xing to complain about being poor. "Mayor, shouldn't we prioritize the funding for the construction of the national forest park in our city? Otherwise, we won't be able to complete it on time.
Tsk. As soon as Chen Xing heard Ma Linping's words, he immediately had a headache. The financial situation of Nanzhou City was not bad. After all, it was a provincial capital city with strong support from the province. Even if it was poor, it wouldn't be that bad. Moreover, Nanzhou City's economic development had been good. In recent years, its financial revenue had increased by more than 10% every year. Nanzhou City's financial situation was not bad, but it was just like the saying, no matter how much money the government had, it would never be enough to spend. This year, the city stopped the construction of social security housing and gave priority to the construction of several major projects with an investment of tens of billions of yuan. It could be seen that the city's financial situation had begun to be strained again. It was almost the end of the year.
Chen Xing also knew about the National Forest Park project that Ma Linping mentioned. It had already been approved by the Ministry of Forestry. The Ministry had allocated part of the funds, and the rest had to be raised by the local government. This National Forest Park project was also the city's key public welfare project this year. But compared to other major projects, this "key construction" was somewhat discounted. Ma Linping came to complain about being poor because the financial investment of this project had also been delayed.
Naturally, Chen Xing's headache at this time would not be known by outsiders. Others only knew that he was an awe-inspiring mayor with great power in his hands. But who knew that as a mayor, he had endless worries and troubles all day long?
…
Ceng Gaoqiang, the Director of the Health Bureau, specially invited Luo Kaiyuan, the Deputy Director of the Municipal Procuratorate, to dinner today. The two opened a bottle of Martell. Luo Kaiyuan liked it, and Ceng Gaoqiang was familiar with Luo Kaiyuan. Without saying anything, he opened a bottle of two catties. He smiled and told Luo Kaiyuan that the two would try to finish this bottle tonight.
Old Luo, is your Procuratorate investigating a man named Ma Jiang? After drinking two or three glasses with Luo Kaiyuan, Ceng Gaoqiang clinked his glass with Luo Kaiyuan's again and asked casually.
Ma Jiang? Which department is he from? Luo Kaiyuan raised his eyelids. He did not know about this. There was more than one Deputy Director of the Procuratorate. Each of them was in charge of a department. It was normal that he did not know about some cases.
He was a squadron leader of the District Health Bureau. Ceng Gaoqiang smiled.
Squadron leader? Luo Kaiyuan looked at Ceng Gaoqiang in surprise. How could such a small figure be worthy of your attention, Old Zeng?
Someone asked me to ask him. Besides, he is also from our health system. As the Director, I am also curious about what is going on. Ceng Gaoqiang smiled calmly.
