Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "I thought that since this female county magistrate is young, she must be hardworking, courageous, and courageous. She is much better than the former county magistrate Chen. I thought that I would be able to make some achievements if I worked with her. However, I didn't expect that she was not a good official. Instead, she played with internal strife. If this goes on, I am afraid that she will be more harmful than county magistrate Chen."
You Gongjie placed his hand in front of his chest and said. "County Magistrate Li, don't worry. No matter what she does, I will support you. Even if she tries to obstruct or sabotage your Investment Promotion Agency's reforms, I will stand by your side. You are the only one in the County who can set up a new and efficient Investment Promotion Agency. You are the only one who can lead the County in attracting investments. Whoever tries to make things difficult for you will be making things difficult for Shuanghe County's investments. They will be going against the trend of the times, and they will be criticized by millions of people. "
Li Rui was secretly amused. Things were not as serious as he made it out to be, and Bo Yubing's attitude was not as bad as he thought. There was no need to rush at the moment. He just had to take one step at a time. It would not be too late to wait until Bo Yubing showed her true attitude. He said, "Alright, thank you, County Mayor You. But County Magistrate Bo might be reminding me out of goodwill. Some of my reforms are too radical and do not comply with the regulations. I also did not consider the acceptance of most of the leaders. "
He couldn't always say bad things about Bo Yubing. After all, in front of You Gongjie, the executive deputy county magistrate, even if he didn't consider saving face for Bo Yubing, he had to consider what kind of image his words and deeds would leave for You Gongjie. Therefore, he added such a "good thing" at the end to show that he was humble and could listen to unpleasant words.
Just when You Gongjie was about to say something, Li Rui's phone suddenly rang. Li Rui took out his phone and saw that it was a call from Ma Yuming. It was probably a call from him, so he quickly picked it up and said, "Yuming, what's the matter?"
Ma Yuming nodded and lowered his voice. "The Poverty Alleviation Office's Director, Chang Yingjie, is looking for you. He is outside your office now. He could not find you and asked me to contact you."
Li Rui is puzzled. The County's Poverty Alleviation Office's Director, Chang Yingjie, is looking for me for help? What does he mean? What is he trying to save? However, he didn't ask too much over the phone. If he asked too much, it would give people the impression that he was immature and unsteady. Over time, he would be looked down upon. He only said, "Okay, I'll go back now." With that, he hung up.
You Gongjie saw that he had matters to attend to, so he didn't urge him to stay. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he sent him out.
Li Rui hurried back to his office and saw Ma Yuming and another man standing at the door. The man was in his forties or fifties. He was not tall and was slightly plump. He had a crew cut and a small beard. He looked simple and honest. He was probably the so-called Chang Yingjie.
As expected, when the man saw Li Rui, he did not wait for Ma Yuming to introduce him. He rushed forward and said with a bitter face, "County Magistrate Li, you have to save me. Only you can save me now. I beg you …"
Li Rui looked at him expressionlessly. He thought to himself, I have been in the county for so long. As the Director of the Poverty Alleviation Office, you did not take the initiative to report to me. You obviously do not care about me, the Deputy County Magistrate. But now that you are in trouble, you come to me for help. When you don't need my help, you ignore me. But when you need my help, you only show up. You are too smart and snobbish. But he did not refuse and said, "Let's talk inside." Then he pushed the door open and walked in.
Ma Yuming knew that Chang Yingjie was going to talk about something ugly. He might even do something that would lower his status in front of Li Rui, such as crying or even kowtowing. So he did not follow Chang Yingjie in. After Chang Yingjie entered the room, he closed the door and went back to his office to work.
Chang Yingjie and Li Rui walked to the desk and knelt on the floor.
Li Rui heard the noise and turned around. He frowned and said, "Director Chang, what are you doing? Get up and talk. "
Chang Yingjie was frightened and said, "County Magistrate Li, please save me. You are the only one who can save me now. Really, please go to the county leaders and ask them to forgive me this time. I promise I won't do it again …"
Li Rui was not moved by his performance. He said indifferently, "If you don't get up, then tell me what happened."
Chang Yingjie said regretfully, "It's not that big of a deal. It's all because of those vile people. They were just jealous and wanted to kick me out of my position as the director of the Poverty Alleviation Office …" He explained in detail what had happened.
It turned out that Chang Yingjie's son got married last week. Chang Yingjie had sent many invitations before the wedding. Chang Yingjie not only sent a message to all his relatives and friends, but also to all the leaders and cadres in the villages and towns that he didn't have any personal relationships with, but only got acquainted with through work, or had only heard of their names before. His idea was simple and greedy. He wanted to invite more people to attend his son's wedding. Not only would it bring glory to his family, but he could also earn more money. Of course, he dared to do so because he was the Director of the Poverty Alleviation Office.
Although the Director of the Poverty Alleviation Office was only a section-level cadre and did not have much power, he controlled the county's poverty alleviation funds. He basically had the final say on which villages and towns the funds were given to. As for the method and name of the funds, such as whether it was given directly or in the form of materials, they were all decided by him. Shuanghe County was a national poor county. Except for Chengguan Town and a few villages and towns in the nearby plains, the other six or seven villages and towns in the mountainous areas were all poor villages and towns. These poor villages and towns all relied on the county's poverty alleviation funds.
Therefore, the significance of Chang Yingjie's existence as the Director of the Poverty Alleviation Office was extremely important to the leaders and cadres of the six or seven poor villages and towns. These leaders and cadres usually fought to make friends with him. It was normal for them to treat him to a meal. During festivals, they would even send gifts. Even if they did not have the chance to meet him, at least they would not dare to offend him. It was because of this that Chang Yingjie had the guts to send out invitations without thinking.
In this matter, he was so greedy that he even sent out invitations to the poor villages. Every village secretary and village director, whether he knew them or not, received his invitation. When these village secretaries and village directors received his invitation, they were both embarrassed and in a difficult position. If they received the invitation and did not go, they would definitely offend the Director of the Poverty Alleviation Office. In the future, the village would not be able to receive any poverty alleviation funds. If they went, they would go bankrupt. Based on the current situation and the other party's status, they would have to pay at least 300 yuan for this trip. 300 yuan was not a small sum.
These people hesitated again and again, but did not dare to not go. In the end, they all pinched their noses and went to the county. They did go, but when they went back, they all cursed Chang Yingjie's greed and shamelessness. As for Chang Yingjie, at his son's wedding, he received more than 100,000 yuan. After the event, he was very proud and boasted about his gains and popularity. However, he did not know that he had already offended so many people. Of course, he was not afraid of offending those people. In his mind, those people were all dependent on him, so it did not matter if he offended them.
In fact, if Chang Yingjie had kept a low profile and quietly made a fortune, then after that, nothing would have happened. However, he was too arrogant. Perhaps it was because of the power he displayed in this grand wedding that made him dizzy. In short, not only did he not keep a low profile, he became even more arrogant. He couldn't wait to let everyone in Shuang He know how much money he received. As the saying goes, "When the heavens commit a sin, it can be defied; when man commits a sin, it is impossible to live." Since he was seeking death, naturally there would be people who would jump out to satisfy him. This Monday, someone wrote a report to the county's disciplinary committee. They reported that as a government official, he took advantage of his son's wedding to get a lot of money. At the same time, he forced poor village officials to attend the wedding. They also said that he was also corrupt and wanted the county's disciplinary committee to investigate.
Chang Yingjie did not know about this matter. This week, he had been enjoying the glory and glory of his position until this morning, when the staff of the county disciplinary committee suddenly came to his office and asked him whether the reports reflected in the letter were true. He subconsciously denied it. He said that his son only sent the wedding invitation to his friends and did not force village officials to contribute money. Someone wanted to mess with him and deliberately made up false facts to frame him. At the same time, he also denied the amount of money. The disciplinary committee staff did not say anything. They only asked him not to go out for a few days and to be investigated at any time.
Chang Yingjie guessed that they would use these few days to find the relevant parties to understand the situation. Once they found out that it was true, they would open a case and investigate him. Maybe he would be punished. Thinking about the possible tragic end, he finally felt afraid. He thought about it and wanted to find a good way to avoid this disaster. In the end, after thinking about it, he thought about the county's leader, Li Rui. He did not want to break the law and did not want to have any relationship with Li Rui. In short, he just wanted to ask him for help. So he directly came to find him.
After Li Rui heard the whole story, he felt funny and angry. There was actually such a shameless official in this world? In order to get more monetary gifts, he even sent invitations to village leaders whom he did not know. If he was one step closer, he would have plundered the commoners. Perhaps he had the intention to take advantage of the commoners, but considering that they were all poor families, they would not be able to give a lot of monetary gifts. It was not even enough to cover the cost of their meals, so he did not send invitations. Haha, it was undeniable that the director of the Poverty Alleviation Office had reached such a high level. He must have become the director of the Poverty Alleviation Office to help the poor. He waved his hand and said, "You can go. I can't help you with this kind of thing."
