When she came out of Zhang Lixing's office, when the wind blew in the corridor, Liang Jing couldn't help but shiver. Her whole back was cold. Just now in Zhang Lixing's office, she seemed calm, but now she was in a cold sweat.
With a self-deprecating smile, Liang Jing knew that the road ahead would be more difficult and dangerous, but she could only brace herself to go on.
Zhang Lixing didn't know that Liang Jing had other thoughts. When he watched Liang Jing leave, the smile on Zhang Lixing's face slowly disappeared. After sitting and thinking for a while, Zhang Lixing felt that Liang Jing's proposal was feasible. Since Chen Xing wanted to prohibit the grass-roots government from arbitrarily apportioning, he would help Chen Xing.
Thinking that Chen Xing might face a lot of trouble at that time, but he still had to thank him, Zhang Lixing's smile became more and more complacent.
"Wang, come in." Zhang Lixing picked up the internal phone and called Wang Huachuan to come in.
As soon as Wang Huachuan came in, Zhang Lixing immediately handed the document forwarded from the Municipal Party Committee to Wang Huachuan. "Wang, later, you will also convey my words. Say that Secretary Chen's instructions will be firmly implemented. If anyone dares to act recklessly again, once found, they will be severely punished."
"Ah?" Wang Huachuan looked at his leader in a daze. Zhang Lixing looked at his leader in a daze. Just now, Zhang Lixing was dismissive of Chen Xing's approval document. How could there be a 180 degree change now?
Zhang Lixing ignored Wang Huachuan's reaction, thought for a moment, and said again. "Also, postpone other itineraries tomorrow. Arrange for me to visit the countryside, and let the reporters of the Municipal TV Station accompany me. At that time, I will make a statement in support of Secretary Chen. Let the Municipal TV Station and the evening newspaper focus on me the day after tomorrow."
Wang Huachuan opened his eyes and looked at the leader in front of him. He wondered if his leader had taken the wrong medicine.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and do it for me." Zhang Lixing glanced at Wang Huachuan.
Alright, alright, I'll arrange it right away. Wang Huacheng hurriedly nodded, turned around and walked out without saying anything.
After leaving Zhang Lixing's office, Wang Huacheng was still confused. He wondered if the leader was putting on a show for Secretary Chen of the Municipal Party Committee.
In the quiet mayor's office, Liang Jing walked out of Zhang Lixing's office and entered Mayor Li Kaishan's office.
Mayor Li, I did as you said. Liang Jing lowered her head. Her heart was filled with bitterness.
Mm, very good. Thank you for your hard work. Li Kaishan nodded slightly without much expression on his face. Then he asked, "How did Zhang Lixing react?" Did I accept your suggestion?
From what he said, it seemed that he had accepted it. He said that I had given him a good suggestion. I thought that since he said that, he would do it. Liang Jing told the truth. He had been forced to get on the boat by Li Kaishan. Liang Jing had nothing to hide from him, but he was a little unwilling and worried about the future.
"Really?" A cold light flashed in Li Kaishan's eyes. Everything was as he expected. The arrogant and conceited Zhang Lixing took the bait. He knew that Zhang Lixing was definitely not a man who would settle down. He had a good grasp of Zhang Lixing's psychology. This time, he undoubtedly made a good move.
Liang Jing didn't speak, but peeked at Li Kaishan's expression. His heart trembled for no reason. The mayor, who had always been weak, might be a poisonous snake that had put away its fangs. Now he was slowly showing his poisonous fangs. Liang Jing didn't know what the future would be, but she, who was involved in this whirlpool, couldn't help it. Now she could only drift with the current, and she couldn't control her own fate at all.
Liang Jing felt like a small boat drifting on the sea, which would be swept away by the wind and waves at any time.
Liang Jing was slightly absent-minded, but Li Kaishan didn't pay attention to Liang Jing's expression at this time. He had successfully taken the first step to plot against Zhang Lixing, and he felt a long-lost pleasure in his heart.
"Zhang Lixing, Zhang Lixing, Chen Jianfei died young, and finally gave me a chance. There's still a long way to go. Let's see who will be the winner." Li Kaishan muttered to himself in his heart, clenching his fists. Chen Jianfei's accidental death gave him a chance to make a comeback. Without Chen Jianfei, his close partner, he wanted to see how capable Zhang Lixing was.
After thinking for a while, Li Kaishan turned around and saw Liang Jing was still standing. He said, "Director Liang, you go ahead. I'm fine here.
Mayor Li, I'll go first. " Liang Jing nodded.
When he came out of Li Kaishan's office, Liang Jing breathed a sigh of relief, but he looked a little confused.
As the sun rose and set, time passed quickly. The Municipal TV Station and the Wangshan Morning Post, the official newspaper of the Wangshan Municipal Party Committee, both focused on reporting that Zhang Lixing mentioned on several public occasions that he should seriously deal with the claws of grass-roots government agencies that extended their power to the people, resolutely implement the instructions of the Municipal Party Committee, and put an end to arbitrary apportionment and arbitrary charges to the people. Once found, the city would severely punish and hold the relevant leaders and cadres accountable.
Chen Xing noticed Zhang Lixing's words and deeds. Whether it was the report of the Municipal TV Station or the report of the Wangshan Morning Post, it was undoubtedly a platform for the cadres of the city to convey political signals. As the top leader, Chen Xing had no reason not to see Zhang Lixing's performance. After several contacts, Chen Xing, who had a preliminary understanding of Zhang Lixing, was obviously quite surprised. However, Chen Xing was happy to see that Zhang Lixing supported his work so much. In any case, if several core cadres of the city could support his work, his work in Wangshan would undoubtedly be much easier.
He didn't know what Mayor Zhang was up to, but it was not his style to do so. In Wu Ning's office, the director of the general office compared the Wangshan Morning Post of the past two days. Zhang Lixing's public speeches during the inspection in the countryside were reported on the key pages. It could be said that the wording was getting harsher day by day, which made people who knew Zhang Lixing a little confused.
"Mayor Zhang is an extraordinary person. It's normal that we can't see through him." Wu Ning was making his own Kung Fu tea with a careless look on his face.
"But this is too abnormal." Wei Sida was full of doubts. It was rare that he didn't secretly trip up Secretary Chen. Why did he support his work instead?
"Who knows? Don't think about things that you can't understand. Life is like a dream. It's rare for me to be free. I should enjoy myself while I can, mind my own business, and live a few more years." Wu Ning said with a smile.
"Secretary-general, you are so open-minded. I have to learn from you." Wei Sida smiled. "But I have a busy life. I can't be as comfortable as the Secretary-general. Alas, I have to work again. I have to drink one more cup of tea from you, Secretary-general. I have to go."
Wei Sida picked up the teacup and took a sip. Soon, he got up and said goodbye to Wu Ning.
Coming out of Wu Ning's office, Wei Sida curled his lips slightly. He thought that Secretary-general Wu had made too much Kung Fu tea and lost his ambition.
When there was no one in the office, Wu Ning took the newspapers. One was just delivered today, and the other was yesterday. Wu Ning also read them carefully. Zhang Lixing's attitude for two days in a row was really strange. This was not like Zhang Lixing's character. Wu Ning frowned tightly.
In the office of Chen Xing, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Huang Jianghua told Chen Xing about a strange thing that he had just learned today. Xu Yuanfei, the member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the United Front Minister of the Municipal Party Committee, had not been in Wangshan for a long time. He would only show up when there were important meetings in the city. Huang Jianghua told Chen Xing what he had heard.
"Xiao Huang, where did you hear this?" Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Secretary, didn't you ask me to ask the United Front Department to send a copy of the registration information about the overseas compatriots in Wangshan? I called the office of the United Front Department several times, but no one answered, so I went there myself. Look at what I saw. There was no one on duty in the office. In another office, there were a few people playing cards together. They didn't know my identity, so I said I was a staff member of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee and came to get the information. I saw them playing cards, so I took a closer look and asked them if they were not afraid of being caught and punished by their leaders for playing cards at work. They said that they rarely saw their leaders all year round. Even their leaders could rest at home all year round, so what were they afraid of? When I heard them say that, I felt strange, so I pretended not to care and asked about it. It seemed that it was not a secret, so they casually said a lot." Huang Jianghua said.
"What did you hear? Tell me." Chen Xing was also a little surprised. He asked Huang Jianghua to ask for the information because he wanted to know if there were many overseas compatriots in Wangshan. He was going to hold an overseas compatriot conference and call on them to come back to their hometown to invest.
Minister Xu Yuanfei said that he was from Beiyuan City. Anyway, after he came to Mount Wang for a year or two, he said he was ill and stayed at home. He usually didn't come to the unit but stayed at his home in Beiyuan City. He only came to Mount Wang a few times a year and only came when the city notified him of an important meeting. Huang Jianghua said.
"Oh?" Chen Xing frowned. Huang Jianghua's words were really strange. Chen Xing didn't know that on the day he officially took office, the city held a cadre meeting. Chen Jindong announced the appointment from the province. On that day, all the members of the Standing Committee seemed to have arrived. At that time, Chen Xing really didn't pay attention to everyone one by one. He had no impression of Xu Yuanfei at all.
"Secretary, since you came to Mount Wang, you haven't held a standing committee meeting, have you?" Huang Jianghua said.
Chen Xing glanced at Huang Jianghua with a smile. He understood what Huang Jianghua meant. If he held a standing committee meeting, he would be able to find some clues.
As they were talking, Wei Sida knocked on the door. Chen Xing nodded and motioned for him to come in. Wei Sida walked in and said, "Secretary Chen, Mayor Li wants to see you.
Invite him in. " Chen Xing was stunned. Then he walked to the door and said with a smile, "In the future, when Mayor Li comes over, he can just invite him in. There is no need to inform him."
Chen Xing's words were undoubtedly meant for Huang Jianghua and Wei Sida, but also for Li Kaishan.
"Mayor Li, if you come, just come in. Why bother with all these red tape?" Chen Xing warmly invited Li Kaishan to take a seat.
"I can't disturb Secretary Chen's work." Li Kaishan said with a smile.
"How could that be? Mayor Li is treating me like an outsider." Chen Xing smiled. Not only was he polite, but he also intended to be friendly to Li Kaishan. Li Kaishan had left a good impression on him. Chen Xing also hoped to get the support of the top leader of the government. In this way, no matter what work he carried out in Mount Wang, there would be a lot of resistance.
At this time, Chen Xing still didn't know that Li Kaishan had lost much prestige in the city in the past two or three years.
"Secretary, today, the gate of my Municipal Government was almost broken by the grass-roots township cadres." As soon as Li Kaishan sat down, he smiled bitterly and complained to Chen Xing. They all came with snot and tears, which gave me a headache as the mayor.
"What's going on?" Hearing this, Chen Xing was stunned.
Sigh, it's all because of the money. Secretary Chen, after you issued a document, the villages and towns don't dare to impose taxes on the commoners anymore. Those who did that in the past, no matter what the reason was, have all returned the money to the commoners. Now that the money has been returned, the grass-roots officials are complaining that they are poor. They directly came to the city and cried for their parents, hoping that the city can guarantee their basic funds. This is a problem for me. Where would the city get the money to fund them? "Alas, it's all because of money." Li Kaishan smiled helplessly.
"Mayor Li, didn't the city even allocate enough financial funds to the people at the lower levels?" Chen Xing frowned.
When Li Kaishan heard Chen Xing's question, he smiled bitterly and looked helpless. "Secretary Chen, I don't want to hide it from you. Our city's financial income is small. Most of the money is used to guarantee the investment of several big projects. We don't allocate much to the people at the lower levels. We often let them find their own ways, so …"
Li Kaishan didn't continue. He knew that he didn't need to say it too clearly. Chen Xing would definitely understand what he meant.
Chen Xing frowned. He suddenly realized that he might have made a mistake. In the absence of a comprehensive understanding of the situation in Wangshan City, any decision he made might have good intentions, but in the end, it might lead to some unpredictable consequences.
When he made this instruction a few days ago, Wei Sida had told him about the situation in the townships. However, Chen Xing only knew that the townships had apportioned fees to the villagers during construction. He didn't know that the city didn't even have the most basic office funds. This situation was completely unexpected to him. Wei Sida didn't mention this at that time. Perhaps Wei Sida didn't dare to say more because he saw his firm attitude. However, Chen Xing also realized that he had done things too quickly.
"Mayor Li, do you think the decision to issue that document is wrong?" Chen Xing glanced at Li Kaishan.
"No, Secretary Chen, don't get me wrong. I, Li Kaishan, tell you from the bottom of my heart. I absolutely don't think that Secretary Chen's decision is wrong. If I had that kind of idea, when the document was just forwarded to the Municipal Government Office, I would have immediately called Secretary Chen to communicate with you." Li Kaishan said solemnly. "In fact, I know some of the reckless behaviors at the grassroots level, but I haven't been able to make up my mind to deal with them. I thought that Secretary Chen had just arrived. Since you were determined to stop this evil trend, it might be a good thing. Some things should have been banned long ago, so I still agree with Secretary Chen from the bottom of my heart.
It's just that I didn't expect the difficulties in the township to be far beyond my imagination. Alas, I've been sitting in the mayor's office for a long time. To be honest, I've been out of touch with the grassroots. I didn't know enough about the problems and neglected them too much. I didn't expect this situation to happen. I also have to criticize myself for this matter. " Li Kaishan continued with a helpless face. The people below me came up to complain. I understand their difficulties. If it weren't for the real difficulties, they wouldn't have dared to come to the Municipal Government. So I wanted to come and discuss with Secretary Chen whether we can find a way to ask for funds from the province, or if there are other ways to get money. We can't just sit back and do nothing.
Ask for funds from the higher-ups? Chen Xing whispered to himself. The document was his instruction. Now that there was a problem, Chen Xing knew that he couldn't just stand by and do nothing. This was not only a test of his prestige, but also determined whether he, the new secretary, was reliable in the eyes of the cadres in Wangshan City and whether he could solve the problem. If this small obstacle stumbled him, it might not seem to be a big deal, but in fact, it would have a big impact on him.
