Li Kaishan was expressionless. As the mayor, he was well aware of the city's management and regulations on the city's appearance. There was no trifle in the affairs of ordinary people. In the eyes of others, it might be a trivial matter, but Li Kaishan did not see it that way. He was not young, but his memory was not bad at all.
This was Changshan Street, which was very close to the main business district of the city center. Li Kaishan remembered that there was no clear rule that stalls could not be set up. There were only a few places where stalls could not be set up. However, with the approval of the city management bureau, stalls could also be set up temporarily.
At this moment, these people from the city management bureau came out to arrest these vendors and fine them. Li Kaishan knew what was going on. There were too many things like this in Wangshan City. As a mayor, he could not manage them all even if he wanted to. There were policies and countermeasures. This kind of thing also involved the vital interests of the relevant departments. Even if he could reprimand the leaders of the relevant departments, it was impossible for him to watch the streets every day. He could manage for a while, but he could not manage for a long time. Most of the money from the fines was used as department funds and welfare. This was inseparable from the poor financial situation of Wangshan City. It was common for the financial funds of various departments to not be fully allocated by the city finance each year. Often, the departments could only rely on themselves to find a solution. Therefore, the city actually tended to turn a blind eye to this matter. If it was really harsh, the subordinate units would cry for funds. Even as the mayor, he had a headache because of this.
The chaos of fines was essentially caused by many reasons.
However, even though he tacitly agreed, he usually did not see it and would not be bothered by it. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, Li Kaishan's mood was not much better. Chen Xing stared at him, and Li Kaishan felt even more embarrassed.
Before Li Kaishan stepped forward, he saw the owner of the barbecue stall take out money from his pocket. There were several red old heads. He handed the money to the assistant who spoke and said helplessly, "Brother Zhao, I only have this little money with me. Can you be merciful …"
"Tsk, Wang Ming, you don't want face? The amount of money per month is the old rule. You ran away last month. Plus this month's, how much money will you have in two months? You're using this 500 yuan to brush me off? The assistant manager glanced at the amount of money, and his face immediately became fierce. If you continue to be so insensible, believe it or not, I will keep an eye on you every day in the future, and you will never be able to set up your stall again.
Brother Zhao, it's not that I don't want to pay, but I really only have this little money with me today. How about this, I'll still be here tomorrow night. You can come again and I'll pay you back, okay? You see, I rely on this barbecue to make a living. I don't really dare to not pay. Are you afraid that I will run away? Wang Ming smiled bitterly. When his barbecue stall had a good monthly income, it would only earn a few thousand yuan. That was only during the summer. It just so happened that the weather was hot, and there were many people who came to drink and eat barbecue at night after work. Now that it was winter, there were fewer people, and business was slow. Sometimes, he could only earn two or three thousand yuan a month. It was purely to make ends meet.
It's not like you haven't run around before. Last month, didn't you run around everywhere? You set up here and there today. Do you think we won't run into you just like that? The assistant manager laughed mockingly.
Brother Zhao, I run around everywhere, but I still end up in your hands. This Sun Wukong can't escape the Buddha's Five Finger Mountain. In the end, I still have to pay the money obediently. Wang Ming said to please the assistant manager. One could imagine the bitterness in his heart. He had to pay the money every month, but he still had to act like a grandson. When he met these bastards, he could only admit defeat. He was just an ordinary person.
The assistant manager looked proud. Wang Ming's words made him feel good. However, when it came to money, he couldn't make the decision. They were just assistants, just like those police assistants. In fact, they were just a fox using the tiger's power to intimidate others. At this moment, there was an official urban management officer sitting in the car. He didn't get out of the car. The assistant manager looked into the car and asked for his opinion.
From the rolled down window, he saw the other party shake his head slightly. The assistant manager immediately shouted. How much is it? Do you think this is a vegetable market where you can bargain?
Brother Zhao, I'm not bargaining. I'm saying that I'll pay tomorrow. I'm not trying to cheat. Wang Ming smiled, but in his heart, he was cursing the other party's ancestors.
That won't do. Two months, one thousand four hundred. Not a cent less. The assistant manager snorted coldly.
Two months' fee was 1400, and one month's fee was 700. Who made this rule that every vendor had to pay a fixed amount of money every month? Chen Xing suddenly said.
Li Kaishan's face was gloomy. He knew about the random fines, but he didn't know the specific situation. When he came to sit with Chen Xing, he sighed in his heart that it had been a long time since he sat on the street and ate like this. As a mayor, he had indeed been away from the masses for a long time.
Do you think you can set up stalls casually? The Municipal Government has rules that you can't set up stalls casually. It will affect the city's appearance. Do you understand? If we let them set up stalls, we will naturally charge them a certain fee. This money is used to maintain the city's appearance. Do you understand? When the assistant manager heard Chen Xing's words, he only thought that he was a customer who came to eat barbecue, so he casually replied.
When Chen Xing heard the assistant manager's words, he was silent for a moment. He didn't know whether stalls could be set up here, but he knew that even if there was no basis for the fine, these urban management officers had to clean up these stalls. He couldn't criticize them.
When did the city stipulate that stalls couldn't be set up in this area? Moreover, the expenses for maintaining the city's appearance were paid from the public finance. Who said that the stalls should pay for the fines? When Li Kaishan heard the assistant manager's random reply, he was so angry that he laughed. His face was gloomy.
Hey, who are you? You're speaking like a proper person. What the hell do you know about the city's rules? Go away. Don't mess around. Go eat your barbecue. The assistant manager glared at Li Kaishan.
Li Kaishan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He glanced at the assistant manager. Li Kaishan wasn't angry at him. Most of the assistants recruited by the law enforcement department didn't have a high standard of education. To put it bluntly, most of them were able-bodied people. Many of them were even local ruffians. Li Kaishan wouldn't be so serious about these assistants.
He turned his head and looked at the car. Li Kaishan noticed that there should be real urban management officers in the car. He said coldly, "Ask the person in the car to come out and see me."
When the assistant manager heard Li Kaishan's words, he was stunned at first. Then he straightened his face. Are you done yet? This has nothing to do with you. Are you going to meddle in other people's business?
The person in the law enforcement vehicle had already stuck his head out of the window to look outside. He could hear the voices outside, and he was quite curious about Li Kaishan's voice.
Those words didn't sound like something an ordinary citizen would say. The city's rules and public finance were not something an ordinary citizen could say.
Staring at Li Kaishan, the official urban management officer was puzzled. He felt that Li Kaishan looked familiar, but he couldn't react in time. When he remembered who Li Kaishan was, he almost fell off the car. He pushed the door open and ran out in a hurry. The official urban management officer was laughing so hard that he almost cried. City … Mayor.
Did the city have any rules that prohibited people from setting up stalls here? Li Kaishan looked at the official coldly.
This … this doesn't seem to be the case. The official squeezed a smile on his face. He couldn't even speak properly. In this cold night, he was so scared that he almost broke out in a cold sweat.
If you don't have any, what are you doing? Li Kaishan questioned him sternly. He knew what was going on, so he could only pretend to be like this. This was not only for the people at the scene to see, but also for Chen Xing.
The official was speechless. He smiled awkwardly and lowered his head to look at the floor. His forehead was covered in sweat. In the eyes of a small urban management officer, Li Kaishan was high and mighty. If it weren't for the fact that Li Kaishan had been the mayor for several years and had come to the Urban Management Bureau for research, he wouldn't have been able to recognize him. At this moment, the mayor was standing in front of him, and his mind went blank. The owner of the barbecue stall was stunned by the identity of Li Kaishan. After being in a daze for a while, he suddenly came back to his senses.
The barbecue stall owner was stunned by Li Kaishan's identity. After a while, he came back to his senses and was about to walk towards Li Kaishan to complain about the urban management officers' fine. However, when he saw Li Kaishan standing on the street and lowering his head like a grandson, he shrunk back. Having barbecued on the street all year round, he knew better than anyone else that it was easier to see the King of Hell than the little devils. Now that the mayor was in front of him, the mayor seemed to want to stand up for them, but the mayor would just pat his butt and leave, while these urban management officers patrolled the street every day. Today, he could complain to these f * ckers and vent his anger for a while, but in the future, he was afraid that his life would be a hundred or even a thousand times worse than now. These f * ckers could torture him to the point that he didn't even have enough food to eat. This was the reality.
The air seemed to suddenly freeze. Li Kaishan needed to put on a show for Chen Xing. In fact, he was quite indignant about such a thing.
A luxurious Rolls-Royce passed by on the side of the road. Li Kaishan didn't pay attention to the side at this time. If he turned his head, he would recognize the eye-catching Rolls-Royce of Qian Xinlai at a glance.
