afternoon.
Half past one.
County Government, Jiang Fangfang's Office.
After briefly talking to each other and talking things over, Dong Xuebin relaxed. After talking about personal matters, the two of them also talked about business matters.
Jiang Fangfang looked at him, "The financial bureau has been in quite a mess these days when you have been away."
Dong Xuebin hummed, "I heard, they are all here to apply for funding, right?"
Jiang Fangfang nodded coldly, "Well, Meng Shuji and I are similar here. There are waves of people. You won't be able to relax when you come back this time, so be mentally prepared first."
Dong Xuebin asked, "Do you think this money is worth it?"
Jiang Fangfang told him: "Secretary Meng and I want to discuss it at the Standing Committee meeting tomorrow and decide how the money should be divided into several directions. This will be very important, so I asked the secretary to call you back, but Although the direction of the money has not yet been determined, it is certain that general improvement allocations will not be implemented, such as building dormitories, renovating classrooms, or purchasing equipment. Many of these are not necessary, and the money still has to be spent wisely. Yes, Secretary Meng and I met alone, and we probably all meant this. You also have an idea in mind. This gap cannot be loosened, otherwise a precedent will be set, and the rest will not be easy to deal with. After all, our financial affairs limited."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "I understand this."
"I can rest assured that you are here to check." Jiang Fangfang put down the documents and stood up, holding a thermos and pouring him a glass of water. "A sum of money exposes a lot of problems."
Dong Xuebin was convinced, took the water glass and thanked him.
The cadres in their county are indeed a bit short-sighted. I don't usually do anything serious. Everyone is sitting calmly in the office, and they go out in style. But now when they see the money, they all can't sit still, like hungry wolves.
Boom boom.
There was a knock on the door.
Jiang Fangfang raised her head and said, "Please come in."
Dong Xuebin also said goodbye, "Then I'll go back first."
"Yeah. Take care of yourself." Jiang Fangfang said with concern.
Dong Xuebin walked out of the office, and someone opened the door and came in. He took a look. It was Ci Boyang, the deputy county magistrate. Ci Boyang was a cadre of the Mongolian clique. The two had had some unpleasant encounters before. The relationship was very ordinary. When we met, we just nodded and said hello.
Dong Xuebin opened the door and went out.
"County Magistrate Jiang."
"County Magistrate Ci, is something wrong?"
"It's still a matter of appropriation. We are really in trouble there. The promised bonuses have never been paid. Now the comrades are very emotional. You see..."
Are you here to ask for money again? What a bunch of people!
After closing the door of County Magistrate Jiang's office, Dong Xuebin left.
But as soon as he returned to his office, before he opened the door, the phone rang in the room. I don’t know how many times I’ve called him. After entering, Dong Xuebin raised his hand to pick it up.
"I'm Dong Xuebin."
"County Magistrate Dong, are you back?"
"Well, who are you?"
"I am Lao Liu from the Health Bureau. County Magistrate Dong, I wonder when our funds will come down? That batch of equipment is very important and will be of great help to improve the medical level of our county. We have placed orders a few days ago. , but the money never arrived.”
"Does your health bureau have no funds?"
"It's not enough, far from it. They are all imported equipment, costing at least several million."
"You don't have enough funds to place any orders? Who promised to allocate funds to you?" Dong Xuebin frowned and said: "You have to cut it first and then tell it later, right?"
"No, the equipment problem has been discussed a long time ago. Magistrate Ci County should have given it to us a long time ago. Now that the county has received so much funding, we are sure that the county will definitely solve our funding problem. It’s not a lot, so just place your order first. After all, they are all imported equipment, so you have to order them in advance.”
"Let's talk about this later."
"But all the orders..."
"Since County Magistrate Ci agreed to your request! Go find him!"
"County Magistrate Dong, we..."
Dong Xuebin was too lazy to talk nonsense and hung up the phone directly, talking about nothing.
As soon as the phone hung up, it rang, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, Dong Xuebin was afraid of something urgent and couldn't help but pick up the phone.
"Hello."
"Is it County Magistrate Dong?"
"It's me, who are you?"
"Hello, hello, I am a staff member of the Qingshui Township Government. My name is Jiang Dashui, and I am the third cousin of your County Magistrate Jiang Fangfang."
Third cousin
What kind of relative are these
However, since he was more related to County Magistrate Jiang, Dong Xuebin spoke more politely and said, "That's it. Well, what can I do for you?"
Jiang Dashui sighed: "It's hard to describe in one word, it's hard to describe in one word."
Dong Xuebin said: "You tell me, I'm listening."
"Last year there was a drought in our township and the disaster was very serious. Seeing that the lives of the villagers are getting worse day by day, the township leaders are very anxious. You also know that our area relies on animal husbandry. When environmental disasters come, it will directly affect The villagers have a problem of survival. It seems that the situation is very bad this year. It is difficult. So our township wants to apply for a batch of relief funds. One million is enough. There is no need to trouble our family Fangfang with such a small amount of money. She is also busy at work, right? So I just wanted to say hello to you."
A million or a small amount of money
How dare you speak!
Moreover, he always seemed to use County Magistrate Jiang to suppress his tone, which made Dong Xuebin feel very uncomfortable. He knew in his heart that if Jiang Fangfang agreed, how could Jiang Dashui still call him? The money went out early, and County Magistrate Jiang must have disapproved of it!
Dong Xuebin said: "I can't decide this matter alone."
Jiang Dashui said: "The county has reached 50 million this time, and we only applied for 1 million relief funds. Why can't you decide on such a small matter?"
"Wait a little longer, I'll ask you questions."
"The villagers and township leaders are very anxious. We can't wait any longer."
"I can't help you if you're anxious. This has to be done step by step."
After chatting for a long time, Dong Xuebin hung up the phone number of the so-called third cousin of Jiang County Magistrate. After thinking about it, he called Yao Cui.
Phone busy.
It took a few minutes to call again.
"Tui'er, what are you busy with?" Dong Xuebin asked.
Yao Cui said: "I just received a call from a primary school classmate who asked me to help you talk about how to allocate some agricultural funds to their town. I talked for a long time before pushing it."
"Have they all found you?"
"It's happened more than once. My relatives came here a while ago, and my parents were really annoyed."
"Thank you for your hard work. By the way, do you know the situation in Qingshui Township? Is the disaster really serious?"
"Where is it?" Yao Cui said helplessly, "Did County Magistrate Jiang's relatives call you? It's all nonsense. It just hasn't rained in a few days. What they said was that the sky was falling. People from Qingshui Township also came to the Finance Bureau a few days ago and made a fuss for a long time. "
When Dong Xuebin heard this, he immediately shook his head, "Who are these people?"
Yao Cui said quietly: "This is nothing. I heard that someone below has entrusted the relationship with Secretary Meng's father. Secretary Meng's father came to the county committee to ask for money from Secretary Meng. I didn’t give the [Book] note, and it seems that I was scolded by the old man. This is all... Oh, I can’t say anything.”
Some face can be given, and some face cannot be given. If the money is really urgent, the county will have approved it long ago. But if it can be given, can it be given, or even if the money is asked for some inexplicable reason, even if it is entrusted to the relevant leaders, it will not be given. Yes, it will poke people's spine, not to mention that it is still such a sensitive period. Dong Xuebin can also understand the difficulties faced by Secretary Meng and County Magistrate Jiang. It is indeed difficult to handle.
"By the way, Xue Bin."
"What's wrong?"
"When I heard that you were back, many people called me and said they wanted to treat you to dinner. Director Liu from the Health Bureau, Chen from the Industry and Commerce Bureau..."
"You gave me a push, saying that I haven't recovered yet."
"Okay, then I understand."
After hanging up the phone, the phone on the table rang again.
When Dong Xuebin saw it, he simply stopped answering and sat there smoking.
But I thought I could hide away if I didn't answer the phone, but not long after, there was a knock on the door. Dong Xuebin said come in. When the door opened, the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau came.
"County Magistrate Dong, I am Xu Xuelong from the Civil Affairs Bureau." He was a middle-aged man.
"This is Director Xu, please sit down." Dong Xuebin looked at him. This was the first time he met him. Although he should have met him during the meeting, he had no impression of him. "What's the matter?"
After Xu Xuelong sat down, he began to complain, "Comrades in the Civil Affairs Bureau have been very emotional recently. Nothing else. All the county bureaus and departments have cars. Even the Cultural Bureau has a big Jinbei, but we are the only one in the Civil Affairs Bureau." The bureau doesn’t have a car. It’s too inconvenient to go out to do work. I don’t want a car for myself. I want it for the bureau’s work. The roads in our county are not easy to travel and you know they are full of potholes. Alas, look. It doesn’t feel good to see everyone waiting for their bicycles to go out to do errands every day.”
Dong Xuebin said nothing.
Xu Xuelong looked at him, "County Magistrate Dong, we have submitted the application, but there has been no news. Do you think..."
Dong Xuebin said: "I will consider it, you go back first."
Xu Xuelong didn't leave. "Our Civil Affairs Bureau is also a department directly under the county government. The county can't favor one over the other, right? We only have a few cars and don't have much money. Now the county's finances are also very loose. We can't be allowed to..."
Before he finished speaking, there was another knock on the door.
Before Dong Xuebin let him in, the door was already pushed open from the outside.
A dark-faced little old man came in, followed by several people, who should be the village cadres. After entering the house, they were quite aggressive: "County Chief Dong, why hasn't the money from our village arrived yet? How many days has it been? ? It hasn’t been approved yet? We can’t open the door yet!”
Dong Xuebin frowned and said: "Your village? Find the township! This is the county government!"
The little old man said confidently: "The mayor said it! The county did not agree to allocate funds! They also did not allocate money to us! We can only come to the county to ask for money!"
Want money!
Want money!
He only knows how to ask for money!
paralysis! Everyone is going crazy?
