Heavy snow covered the last leaves of the branches, and the pedestrians on the street had already changed into thick winter clothes, and before they knew it, 2003 had already traveled far away, and the time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new year was approaching.

On the afternoon of December 31, Yue Wen did not go anywhere, and according to today's schedule, Liao Xiangting and Tan Wenzheng had to go to the District Finance Bureau to visit and express condolences to the cadres and workers of the financial and taxation system.

This is a cliché, the whole country, the province, the city, the difference, some are only the mayor to go once, or the executive vice mayor in charge of finance and taxation to go once, and in the development zone, it has always been the secretary of the working committee and the director of the management committee to visit the finance bureau together to show their attention.

At more than five o'clock in the afternoon, it was already dark, Cui Jinzhao went to the canteen to beat millet porridge and salted duck eggs, the yellow and clear color and fragrant smell of rice made Yue Wen's stomach can't help but scream.

Cai Yongjin walked into the supervision office, and Cui Jinzhao hurriedly stood up, "Let's go." Cai Yongjin was wearing a crisp suit and a dark red tie that was also very festive.

Yue Wen also stood up, on the side of the management committee, he has been contacting Tan Wenzheng's secretary Wu Feng, and the management committee has to listen to the letter from the working committee, and after receiving a call from Yue Wen, Wu Feng also hurried to report to Tan Wenzheng and Li Danfeng, secretary general of the management committee office.

At the end of the year, Liao Xiangting was finally free, and he was looking at a stack of materials, which were sent by the National Development and Reform Commission, some information about nuclear power, or Yue Wen put them into Liao Xiangting's office.

"You familiarize yourself with the information. Liao Xiangting said, saw Cai Yong come in, and said, "Are you leaving?"

Cai Yongjin smiled, "Director Tan is already waiting downstairs." ”

Liao Xiangting put on his coat, Yue Wen hurriedly took the cashmere coat hanging on the hanger in his hand, and the two went downstairs with Liao Xiangting.

.................................

.................................

The Finance Bureau is an old building, the appearance is very simple, and the interior decoration is also very low-key, but no one dares to look down on the Finance Bureau because of this, after all, this department has the money bags of the whole region, if it is said that the promotion of cadres depends on the Organization Department, then the use of money depends on the Finance Bureau, and the use of people and money has always been a major event in the organ.

Huang Zhaodong, director of the Finance Bureau, was already waiting in front of the door, and the heads of the District State Taxation Bureau, the District Local Taxation Bureau, the Pingzhou Branch of the People's Bank of China and other departments were also standing in front of the door with a smile.

Surrounded by everyone, Liao Xiangting and Tan Wen got out of the car, and Huang Zhaodong greeted him with a smile, "Today is the day of counting the family again, Zhaodong, are the numbers out?"

"Come out immediately, the budget section and the treasury section are counting. Huang Zhaodong smiled cautiously and guided the two main leaders of the district into the hall of the Finance Bureau.

"Let's climb the stairs. Yue Wen looked at Wu Feng, the two were about the same age, Wu Feng seemed to be a few years older than him, "There are not so many people in the elevator." ”

Wu Feng hesitated for a moment, looked at Tan Wenzheng who walked into the elevator, Yue Wen was gone, and he hurriedly climbed the stairs.

When he climbed to the fifth floor out of breath, Yue Wen had already calmly followed behind the leaders and walked towards the brightly lit budget section in front.

The reporter of the district TV station hurriedly ran two steps, and the camera in his hand was aimed at Liao Xiangting, who was walking in the front.

The staff of the budget section who were busy with the year-end accounts had already stood up, and the section chief was already waiting in front of the door, Liao Xiangting smiled and stretched out his hand, "Hard work, hard work, on behalf of the working committee and the management committee, I wish you a happy new year, and I would like to express my gratitude and respect to you!"

The head of the budget section is also full of smiles, such a scene happens every year, and he is very familiar with the process.

Several leaders had smiles on their faces, but Yue Wen noticed that although Tan Wenzheng was also smiling, he didn't speak, his face was a little gray, and his expression was very sluggish.

"How about it," Liao Xiangting shook hands with a female employee and said with a smile, "You are working overtime here, what should I do with the child?"

Cai Yongjin hurriedly smiled, "Secretary Liao, this is Li Xiaojuan, the object of Yan Ting of our Supervision Office, and also the family member of our Working Committee. ”

Li Xiaojuan is very generous, "Yan Ting also works overtime tonight, the child follows his grandparents at home, and the two of us are not at home." ”

Is this a tribute to Yan Ting? Yue Wen raised his left eyebrow and looked at Cai Yongjin, Cai Yongjin's face was not shocked, but Liao Xiangting did not encourage or encourage, "...... Well, the work must be careful and careful, and the particles must be returned to the warehouse, and the particles must be returned to the public ......"

After shaking hands with the staff one by one in the budget section, Liao Xiangting and others came to the treasury section again.

Yue Wen found that this was a ritual and had to go, but the significance of the ritual was probably greater than its actual content.

Coming out of the Treasury Section, everyone went to the conference room on the sixth floor, where there was still a debriefing.

Huang Zhaodong took out the draft prepared in advance and began to report on the completion of the relevant indicators in 2003 and the work plan for 2004.

"Finance is the foundation and important pillar of urban governance, and with more funds, we can do more and bigger things for citizens,...... The Finance Bureau should gather good money, continue to take the accumulation of wealth and increase income as the top priority, and do a good job in the collection and management of national and local taxes, so as to put an end to "leakage,...... It is necessary to manage the "money bags" well and strengthen the supervision and control over the operation of financial funds......"

Liao Xiangting didn't say much, but before he finished speaking, the conference room suddenly fell into darkness, and only the screen of the camera in the reporter's hand emitted bursts of light.

"Is there a power outage?" In the dark, Huang Zhaodong's voice seemed to ask the director of the office of the Finance Bureau, and as if he was asking himself, everyone looked out the window, and the residential building opposite was also dark.

The figures of fiscal revenue are being summed up, and in these years, without computers, I am afraid that it will not work, but if there is no electricity, the computers will definitely be out of business!

After the numbers came out, the overtime staff had to be entertained in the canteen, and the leaders were still hungry.

Yue Wen didn't wait for Cai Yongjin to speak, and immediately walked out of the door to make a call, he was sitting by the door, in the dark, no one noticed him.

"We generate electricity right away, we have generators. In the dark, Huang Zhaodong's voice sounded again, the power outage was not the problem of the Finance Bureau, and he was not responsible for it, but it was his duty to quickly light up this conference room and drive out the financial figures.

In the dark, the director of the office of the Finance Bureau chattered for a while, and finally mustered up the courage, when he was in Furong Street, when Qiu Huiyue was still the director of the street office, the two of them came to the Finance Bureau to do things, and the director of the office was very bullish, that is, the director of the street office seemed to be on an equal footing.

"Director, the generator is broken. "I don't know where the generator was thrown for a long time, and it was broken, but it was the best excuse.

Huang Zhaodong's face was as black as the night, and it was difficult to attack in front of Liao Xiangting and Tan Wenzheng.

In the dark, Cai Yongjin said with a smile, "This is not a matter of the Finance Bureau, this is a large-scale power outage in the whole region, and the power supply company is afraid that this time it will also be chaotic." ”

This person always thinks about others, always solves the siege for others when they are embarrassed or embarrassed, intercedes for others, thinks about others, this kind of elder demeanor, so that the people who mention him never say half a word about him, and the secretary general is praised.

Wu Feng took out the phone, "I'll call the power supply company." ”

Yue Wen walked in from outside with his mobile phone, "I asked the power supply company, it was a sudden large-scale power outage in the whole district. ”

At this moment of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, this power outage really came at an inopportune time.

This sudden large-scale power outage, everyone is powerless to intervene, but what can be intervened is that the leaders can't be allowed to sit here.

"Hurry up and go out and buy candles. Huang Zhaodong said.

In the light of a mobile phone, the office director hurriedly walked out of the conference room, and Yue Wen also followed.

"Director Liu," Yue Wen said with a smile, "The candles on the street, if you delay this for a while, they will definitely be sold out." ”

"No, it won't. The head of the office of the Finance Bureau said, "So fast?"

"Well, there aren't many candles sold in the store," Yue Wen said, "Let's let people buy flashlights." ”

The conversation between the two of them was clearly audible, and sure enough, after a while, the young man from the Finance Bureau ran back with a plastic bag of flashlight in his hand.

"The candles are gone, and the flashlight is round. ”

Liao Xiangting had already stood up, "Send it to the Budget Department and the National Treasury Section first, and see when the call will come from the Electric Power Bureau." ”

Wu Feng took out his mobile phone and called the electricity company, "Mr. Fu?" He called the manager of the district electricity company directly, "I am Xiao Wu of the Management Committee Office, and the leaders are all in the Finance Bureau, when can I call?"

"Just now, Director Yue of the Working Committee Office called, asking to send a power generation car, I have sent a power generation car over, and now it is estimated that it is almost at the door of the Finance Bureau, we are rushing to repair, the specific time is not easy to say. Mr. Fu obviously also knows today's day, and he also knows who is present, and his tone is very humble.

This guy reacts too fast!

Cai Yongjin smiled, and by the light of the flashlight, he looked at Li Danfeng and then at Yue Wen, well, this time, the Working Committee Office pressed the Management Committee Office again.
