afternoon.
Half past one.
County "Government", Jiang Fangfang office.
After a brief heart-to-heart talk 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, "Finance Bureau has been quite "chaotic" these days without you." The Power of Time and Wealth 1329
Dong Xuebin hummed, "I heard, they are all here to apply for funding, right?"
Jiang Fangfang nodded coolly, "Well, Secretary Meng 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 Standing Committee tomorrow and decide how many directions this money should be allocated. This will be very important, so I asked the secretary to call you back. However, although the direction of the money has not yet been decided, it is certain that the general improvement appropriation is not It will be implemented, such as building dormitories, renovating classrooms, and purchasing equipment. Many of them are not necessary, and the money still has to be spent wisely. I have met Secretary Meng alone, and this is probably the meaning. You also have an idea in your mind. This hole cannot be loosened, otherwise it will set a precedent and the rest will not be easy to deal with. After all, our finances are limited."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "I understand this."
"I can rest assured that you are here to check." Jiang Fangfang put down the document 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 and took the glass of water 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 his head and said, "Please come in."
Dong Xuebin then said goodbye, "Then I'll go back first."
"Yeah. Take care of yourself." Jiang Fangfang said with concern.
Dong Xuebin walked outside the office, and someone opened the door and came in. He took a look. It's deputy County Chief Ci Boyang, and Ci Boyang is a cadre of the Mongolian clique. The two of them had some unpleasant experiences before. The relationship was very ordinary. When we met, we just nodded and said hello.
Dong Xuebin Open the door and go out.
"County Chief Jiang."
"County Chief Ci, is something wrong?"
"It's still an issue of funding. We are really in a difficult situation 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! The Power of Time and Wealth 1329
After closing Jiang County Chief's Office's door, 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 called him. After entering, Dong Xuebin raised his hand to pick it up.
"I'm Dong Xuebin."
"County Chief Dong, are you back?"
"Well, who are you?"
"I am Old Liu from the Health Bureau. County Chief Dong, I wonder when our funds will be available? 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 has never been received."
"You 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. County Chief Ci should have been given to us a long time ago. Now that the county has received so much funding, we thought that the county would definitely solve our funding problem. It is not a lot, so we placed the order first. After all, they are imported equipment and must be ordered in advance."
"Let's talk about this later."
"But all the orders..."
"Since County Chief Ci agrees with you! Go find him!"
"County Chief 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, ring, ring, ring, ring, Dong Xuebin was afraid of something urgent and couldn't help but pick up the phone.
"Hello."
"Is it County Chief Dong?"
"It's me, who are you?"
"Hello, hello, I am a staff member of the Clear Water Township [Government]. My name is Jiang Dashui, and I am the third cousin of your Jiang Fangfang County Chief."
Third cousin?
What kind of relative are these? The Power of Time and Wealth 1329
But it was more related to County Chief Jiang. Dong Xuebin also spoke more politely, saying, "That's it. Well, what can I do for you?"
Jiang Dashui sighed, "It's hard to say it all, it's hard to say it all."
Dong Xuebin said, "Just 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 survival of the villagers. It looks like this year The situation is very bad, very difficult, so our township wants to apply for a batch of relief funds. One million is enough. Xiao Qian There is no need to trouble our family Fangfang. She is also busy at work, right? So I just want to say hello to you."
One million or Xiao Qian?
How dare you speak!
Moreover, County Chief Jiang always seems to be used to suppress his tone, which makes Dong Xuebin feel very uncomfortable. He knows in his heart that if Jiang Fangfang agrees, how can this Jiang Dashui still call him? The money has already gone, and County Chief Jiang must not agree with 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 talking for a long time, Dong Xuebin finally hung up the phone from the so-called third cousin of County Chief Jiang. After thinking about it, he called Yao Cui.
The phone is busy.
It took a few minutes to call again.
"Cui'er, are you busy?" Dong Xuebin said.
Yao Cui said, "I just received a call from a primary school classmate who asked me to help tell you how to allocate some agricultural funds to their town. I talked for a long time before I pushed 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 over there at Clear Water Township? Is the disaster really serious?"
"Where is it?" Yao Cui said helplessly, "Did County Chief Jiang's relatives call you? It's all nonsense. It just hasn't rained in a few days. They made them crazy. People from Clear Water Township also came to the Finance Bureau a few days ago, and they made trouble for a long time."
When Dong Xuebin heard this, he immediately shook his head, "Who are these people?"
Yao Cui whispered, "This is nothing. I heard that someone below has entrusted Secretary Meng's father. Secretary Meng's father came to the county committee to ask for money from Secretary Meng. Secretary Meng didn't give it. It seems that he 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 or not, or even if the money is asked for some inexplicable reason, it will not be easy to give it even if it is entrusted to the relevant leaders. It will poke people's spine, not to mention it is such a sensitive period. Dong Xuebin can also understand the difficulties of Secretary Meng and County Chief 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. There are 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.
Dong Xuebin As soon as he 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, and as soon as the door opened, Director Civil Affairs Bureau came.
"County Chief Dong, I am Xu Xuelong from the Civil Affairs Bureau." It was a middle-aged man.
"It's Director Xu, please sit down." Dong Xuebin looked at him. It was the first time we met him. Although he should have met him during the meeting, he had no impression, "What's the matter?"
After Xu Xuelong sat down, he began to complain, "Comrades in the Civil Affairs Bureau have been very emotional recently, that's all. All the county bureaus and departments have cars, even Bureau of Culture also has a Jinbei Minibus, but we are the only ones Civil Affairs Bureau I don't have a car. It's too inconvenient to go out to do errands. I don't want a car for myself. I want it for the bureau's work. As you know, the roads in our county are hard to navigate and full of bumps. Alas, I feel bad when I see everyone waiting for their bicycles to go out to do errands every day."
Dong Xuebin is silent.
Xu Xuelong looked at him, "County Chief 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, "We Civil Affairs Bureau are also directly affiliated with the county government. The county can't favor one over the other, right? A few cars don't cost much, and the county's finances are also very loose now. We can't be allowed to..."
Before he finished speaking, there was another knock on the door.
Dong Xuebin Before he could come in, the door was already pushed open from the outside.
A dark-faced little old man came in, followed by a few 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 pot anymore!"
Dong Xuebin frowned and said, "Your village? Find the township! This is the county government!"
The little old man said confidently, "Town Head 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??
