the next day.
In the morning, the county party committee compound.
Dong Xuebin came to work on foot. After entering the office building of the county government, he walked leisurely to his office.
"County Magistrate Dong."
"County Magistrate Dong."
"Good morning to you."
In the corridor, many people greeted him politely.
Dong Xuebin smiled and nodded to them, and went up the steps in a blink of an eye.
…
Three floors.
Office of the Executive Deputy County Governor.
Dong Xuebin took out the key and opened the door. After twisting it, he found that the door was unlocked. He blinked suspiciously and opened the door. Dong Xuebin saw Yao Cui's figure appearing inside. She was holding the window sill with one hand and using I was wiping the glass with a rag in an awkward position, and then I took a look around the office. The books on the bookcase seemed to have been rearranged, and they were neatly arranged. There was no dust at all on the desk and the floor, and there were still stains in some places. There were some water marks, which had obviously been swept across the ground.
Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly, "What are you doing?"
"Are you here?" Yao Cui turned around and smiled, "Pack up the office."
Dong Xuebin hurriedly walked up and said, "Come down quickly, come down quickly, I'll throw you down again."
Yao Cui didn't listen, "It's okay, that's it. Cleaning is also my job responsibility."
Dong Xuebin said helplessly: "You helped clean up my house yesterday. You are really good at it. Don't say goodbye in the future. The office is not dirty. What are you cleaning?"
"Haha, then I have to show off."
"What are you doing showing off?"
"Save people from gossiping."
"They don't dare, come down quickly. It makes me scared to see them."
Hearing this, Yao Cui stopped wiping, leaned on the window sill and came down, exhaled, and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Then he walked over and took a cup and made a cup of tea for Dong Xuebin. "Leader, please drink water."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "What kind of leader does not lead, and there are no outsiders?"
Yao Cui smiled and handed him another document, "I just went to the county government to handle the matter. There is a county magistrate's office meeting at ten o'clock in the morning. I will inform you to attend the meeting."
Dong Xuebin said, "Let me take a look." He picked up the document and took a look.
He watched. Yao Cui said from the side: "Director Ma gave me a spare key to your office. Our county is poor and there is no wealthy office room, so I still went to the secretarial department. Director Ma arranged a small office for me. I've left my phone number on the table for you. The kettle is out of water. I need documents. I have to go out to do something. _(WwW.PaoShU8.COm) Just give me a call and I'll be on call. "
Dong Xuebin said happily: "It's quite formal."
"That's right." Yao Cui smiled and said, "How about it, am I a competent secretary?"
"Competent and competent."
"Why does it sound perfunctory?"
"Haha, I'm not perfunctory."
"Anyway, the thermos is filled for you. The office has been cleaned for you, and my morning tasks are basically completed. Phew." Yao Cui stretched out charmingly, "Being a secretary is not easy."
Dong Xuebin said: "So you don't need to do these tasks."
"That won't work. Work is work, and it must be clearly divided." Yao Cui insisted: "If I am arrogant because of favors, not only will others chew on me behind my back, but it will also have an impact on your impression... Uh, arrogant because of favors. It's a bit of a word choice error. Well, it should be changed to villain Dezhi. Haha, no one in the general system uses secretaries of the opposite sex. You promoted me under such great pressure. I can't hold back my old classmates. Don't worry. Well, it's okay for us to get along alone, but I know how to speak and do things in front of outsiders. I have worked in the secretarial department for three years, and even though I only do chores, I still understand this stuff. "
Dong Xuebin walked up and poured her a cup of tea, "Drink some too."
"Then I won't be polite to you anymore?" Yao Cui took the cup and said, "Thank you."
Dong Xuebin and Yao Cui sat on the sofa and said while drinking tea: "Actually, if we weren't classmates, I wouldn't have dared to use a female secretary. It's actually okay now. Places like cities and provinces may be more restrictive. Many, but in the environment like our county, it doesn’t matter if you have a secretary of the opposite sex.”
"I know you want to help me."
"I want you to help me."
"That's what you said. In fact, I understand. By the way, my younger brother has found a job. A cadre from a state-owned printing factory came to invite him in person. It's all for your sake. Thank you."
"No need." Dong Xuebin looked at her and said: "It was too late yesterday and I didn't have time to talk about anything. I really want you to help me. You have been here for so many years and you are still a local. The relationship between leaders and Zhen You must know more about the situation in Shuixian County than the average person. I can't carry out my work without seeing anything, and I don't dare to contact other people. Mainly because I don't trust them, so I can only ask you. "
Yao Cui smiled and drank. Tea Ceremony: "Then you have found the right person. What do you want to ask?"
Dong Xuebin blinked and said: "First, tell me the general situation of our county? Although I have seen it all, I am not particularly clear."
Yao Cui hummed, "Zhenshui County is mainly poor, and there is nothing more than poverty, so it has never been able to develop."
Dong Xuebin wondered: "Shouldn't there be a lot of subsidies and allocations for national-level poverty-stricken counties?"
Yao Cui said: "It seems that you have never worked in a poor county. Some counties are poor on the surface, but in fact the counties are very wealthy. They are just thinking about the allocation from above, so they will not take off the label of poverty even if they can. But some counties are really poor, such as our Zhenshui County. As this country is poor, the shortage of money is naturally getting worse and worse year by year. It is the salary of the staff in our agency. The county relies on tax revenue. and fiscal revenue can barely be provided. As for other places, you should also know that money is lacking everywhere and money is needed everywhere. In the end, even the county has to owe tens of millions to tens of millions every year. The foreign debt can be paid off only by the funds allocated from above in the second year. The same is true this year. When you took office, did you know what the county party secretary went to the province to do? "
"What did you do?"
"I went to ask for money. The appropriation just came out after the year, but the debts have been paid off and some gaps have been filled. So there is simply not enough money to carry out the work again."
"Does this happen every year?"
"Well, every year, asking for money, borrowing money, and paying back money is already the main task of our county, and it is also the most troublesome problem for county leaders. Meng [Secretary] asked for money in the provincial capital. It seems that there is no result this time. I heard that the province will not give us any money. It may be like this every year. The province is also annoyed. The situation in the city is similar to ours. It is better or not much better. They are not rich and they cannot give us money. , but if we don’t get funding, our county really won’t be able to survive this year. It’s only been a few months since the beginning of the year, and we still have more than half a year to go.”
"We don't have our own industry?"
"It's not like you haven't seen it. There are mountains and fields here, and the climate is not good. In agriculture, production is often reduced or even eliminated due to natural disasters."
“What about animal husbandry?”
"It's a little better, but without money, it can't develop on a large scale. It's all small and small. And apart from these, there is nothing in our county."
Dong Xuebin sighed and said, "I have nothing to ask for. No wonder I am poor."
Yao Cui looked at him and said: "So how to develop the county? I guess the leaders have given up. There is nothing left to develop. Now they are asking for money and borrowing money everywhere. The main task is to barely maintain the existing environment. In addition to Maintain stability or maintain stability.”
"This is wrong."
"The county leaders are afraid and know that this is not a long-term solution, but there is no way. The previous leaders have thought of all the methods and tried them all, but it is still the same."
Dong Xuebin suddenly asked: "I see that County Magistrate Jiang is in a state where he doesn't seem to care much about anything? He seems very bland? Is that because of this?"
Yao Cui said, "That's not the case with County Magistrate Jiang."
Dong Xuebin said: "Huh? What's the reason?"
Yao Cui looked at the door, and when she saw it was closed, she turned her head and said, "You haven't seen the county committee secretary yet. He probably lost confidence in Zhenshui County and gave up the idea of developing industries. Every year He just wanted to make up for the money gap, and if something went wrong during his term, he would be in trouble, but County Magistrate Jiang... Ahem, there are some things I wouldn't say if I were someone else, but there's nothing bad we can say. ." Yao Cui lowered his voice and thought for a long time before he finally said, "Mr. Jiang... Well, County Magistrate Jiang is a widow."
Dong Xuebin was startled, "Widow?"
"Well, not even kids."
"What about her lover?"
Jiang Fangfang is in her thirties. Dong Xuebin thought that her children could go to elementary school. Who would have thought that she had no children, and her family...
Yao Cui said: "County Magistrate Jiang's husband was not in good health before they got married. It was probably a few years ago, three or four years ago. I forget. At that time, Magistrate Jiang was not the top leader of the government. He died of illness. As a result, this incident dealt a huge blow to County Magistrate Jiang. I heard that County Magistrate Jiang was hospitalized for a month because of this incident. During this period, he did not even say a word. Later, by chance, Magistrate Jiang came to the hospital. She became the top leader of the government, but since the death of her husband, County Magistrate Jiang has become a different person. She has lost her motivation and motivation, and her personality has become dull. Of course, she doesn’t care about everything. , also asked, but it always gave people the impression that they were a bit perfunctory and not enthusiastic. At first, everyone thought that County Magistrate Jiang had not overcome this hurdle, and thought that it would be over in a few days, but three or four Years have passed, and now County Magistrate Jiang is still the same as before, and everyone is used to it now. "
Dong Xuebin sighed, "Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite."
"Yes." Yao Cui continued: "So now the county is basically decided by Secretary Meng. Firstly, Secretary Meng is the secretary of the county party committee and the top leader. Secondly, the character of County Magistrate Jiang It was too indifferent. Many members of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee were unwilling to follow an unmotivated leader, so they all lined up and went to Secretary Meng. Of course, whether County Magistrate Jiang was really unmotivated or whether he had overcome the hurdles. , I don’t know.”
