Hearing the news broadcast on the TV, Chen Tianlin and Liu Zhongming turned their attention to the TV screen almost at the same time, and just saw the picture of the ruins of the school on the TV, so Chen Tianlin couldn't help but complain: "Although our Jiangcheng is a county-level city, it is also a coastal city, how can there be such a school built of soil?"

"Xiao Chen! Although our Jiangcheng is a coastal city, compared with other coastal cities, our Jiangcheng is almost at the bottom, and the financial money cannot even meet the teachers' salaries, let alone take out the money to build school buildings. Liu Zhongming once went to various townships to conduct free clinics, and almost all of their free clinics were in schools in various townships, so he had a better understanding of the situation of township schools, and when he heard Chen Tianlin's complaints, he couldn't help but speak.

When Chen Tianlin heard Liu Zhongming's introduction, a surprised expression appeared on his face again, and he asked Liu Zhongming: "Dean Liu! There are so many enterprises in Jiangcheng, how can there be no money in the treasury?"

As the number one leader of the hospital, Liu Zhongming knew more or less about the city's financial revenue; when he heard Chen Tianlin's inquiry, he thought of the matter of asking the city to approve money for the expansion of the hospital some time ago, and opened his mouth to introduce: "Xiao Chen! You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if you don't belong to your family! In the past, there were several state-owned enterprises in the city, and the finances were quite abundant, but since these state-owned enterprises collapsed one after another, the once big taxpayers have become the burden of the city's finances, which makes Mayor Zhong worry about tea and dinner. ”

In fact, I applied to the city for the expansion of the hospital a long time ago, but the city did not agree to the expansion of the hospital because of the lack of money, if it were not for you, let our hospital be upgraded to a hospital affiliated to the National Health Bureau, and the National Health Bureau allocated funds for the expansion of the hospital, I want to expand the hospital, I am afraid that I will not be able to realize it until I retire. ”

Chen Tianlin heard the situation introduced by Liu Zhongming, and then he understood the current situation of Jiangcheng City, he looked at the school building that had become a ruin on TV, and a thought suddenly rose in his heart, and he quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed Zhong Huiming's big brother number.

"Professor Chen, good morning, why are you calling me at this time?" The waiting tone didn't ring for long, and the phone was dialed, and before Chen Tianlin could speak, Zhong Huiming's slightly tired greeting voice immediately came from the phone.

When Chen Tianlin heard Zhong Huiming's greeting, he thought of what he thought in his heart, and asked, "Mayor Zhong! Good morning! Is it convenient for you to speak now?"

"Professor Chen! I was on my way back to the city from Yueyang Township, and I and Secretary-General Zhuo were in the car, so don't you have anything to say. The collapse of the school made Zhong Huiming feel very bad, and he replied with a heavy heart when he heard Chen Tianlin's inquiry.

When Chen Tianlin heard Zhong Huiming's tone, he could clearly feel that Zhong Huiming was obviously worried when he spoke, which was obviously because of the collapse of the school, which caused Zhong Huiming to be preoccupied, and at this time he did not beat around the bush with Zhong Huiming, and said: "Mayor Zhong! Regarding the news about the collapse of the primary school in Yueyang Township, I saw it on TV just now, and the reason why I called you is for the school's affairs. ”

"I have set up a support fund in the hospital, and I plan to donate a sum of money to the city in the name of the help fund, which will be used exclusively for the construction of schools in various towns and villages in our city......"

As Chen Tianlin expected, although the collapse of Yueyang Township Primary School did not cause casualties, it sounded the alarm for Zhong Huiming, there are more than 40 schools in Jiangcheng City, and more than 10 of them, like Yueyang Township Primary School, are all Tupei school buildings built in the 60s, and if they are not rebuilt, it is likely that a second Yueyang Township Primary School will appear.

Thinking of the reconstruction of these schools, Zhong Huiming, who made it difficult for Qiao women to cook without rice, became preoccupied from the moment he left Yueyang Township by car, and then he heard Chen Tianlin say that he planned to donate a sum of money to the city for the construction of township schools in the city, so that Zhong Huiming, who was very worried, instinctively thought that he had heard it wrong, and confirmed to Chen Tianlin with a look of surprise: "Professor Chen! What did you just say? Do you really plan to take out a sum of money to fund the education construction in our city?"

When Chen Tianlin heard Zhong Huiming's confirmation, he felt Zhong Huiming's excitement, and replied very affirmatively: "Mayor Zhong, you heard me right, I plan to take out a sum of money specifically for the construction and renovation of all our schools in Jiangcheng. ”

"Since I have an operation at 9:20, I can't go to the city to discuss with you carefully, after you return to the city, first sort out the information of all the schools in our city, how many schools need to be renovated, how many schools need to be rebuilt, how much money is needed? Of course, you can budget according to the standard of all reconstruction, and go to the hospital after 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and we will discuss in detail at that time. ”

Zhong Huiming, who was sitting in the car, learned that Chen Tianlin was going to be in charge of the construction funds of all schools in Jiangcheng City, and immediately felt that the dark clouds hanging over his head suddenly disappeared without a trace in an instant, and he thanked Chen Tianlin excitedly: "Professor Chen! On behalf of all the children in our city, I thank you!"

"As soon as I get back, I'll call an emergency meeting with the education department and try to come up with a preliminary budget for you by four o'clock in the afternoon. ”

When Chen Tianlin heard Zhong Huiming's thanks, he felt the joy in Zhong Huiming's heart, and replied with a stern face: "Mayor Zhong! Children are the future of the motherland and the hope of the Chinese nation. ”

"However, I am ugly to say in the forefront, no matter how much money we need to build a new campus in Jiangcheng, I will fully support it, but this money must not be diverted for other purposes, and I will arrange a special person to supervise the use of funds and the quality of the school's construction. ”

When Zhong Huiming heard Chen Tianlin's advice, he immediately assured Chen Tianlin on the other end of the phone: "Professor Chen! You can rest assured! I promise that every penny you contribute will be used for the construction of the school, and if anyone dares to embezzle this money, I will remove him!"

After Zhong Huiming ended the call with Chen Tianlin, his originally heavy mood became extremely happy, and he instructed Secretary General Zhuo, who was sitting in front of him: "Secretary General Zhuo, you should immediately call Deputy Li and the Education Bureau, and ask them to come to Conference Room No. 2 on time at 9:30 in the morning!"

When Zhong Huiming and Chen Tianlin talked on the phone, they did not hide it from Secretary General Zhuo, so the content of the call between the two, Secretary General Zhuo probably heard some of it, he heard Zhong Huiming's instructions, and thought that Chen Tianlin had just joined the work, so he asked Zhong Huiming with some worry: "Mayor Zhong! If all the schools in our city are rebuilt, at least five million funds will be needed, and Professor Chen has just participated in this, can he come up with so much money?"

Zhong Huiming knew more or less about Chen Tianlin's current income, and when he heard Secretary General Zhuo's inquiry, he replied indifferently: "Secretary General Zhuo! If it were someone else, I might have to put a question mark, if it was Professor Chen, let alone 5 million, even if it was 50 million, he would be able to take it out." ”
