It had been two days since the unpleasant encounter with Chang Sheng, and the time had come to December 10. Chang Sheng did not send a written legal opinion, nor did he make any form of explanation.

Although the other party did not issue a legal opinion as required, Chu Tianqi did not look for the other party, nor did he report to the mayor, and the whole feeling was as if nothing had happened, and he should do whatever he wanted.

Just after going to work in the afternoon, Chang Yuzhou came.

Seeing Chang Yuzhou's face, Chu Tianqi knew that something was wrong, and asked directly: "What's the matter, the work is not going well?"

Chang Yuzhou said: "The work is relatively smooth, and in the list of housing reform pilots reported by Dingye City, we have Chengkang City. This time, only two (city) counties applied for the whole field, and we had a great chance of winning it. I have also established contact with the province, and if there is any progress or special circumstances, the other party will tell me as soon as possible, and I hope to listen to the tone of the other party.

But now there is a problem with funding. At that time, when applying for the pilot housing reform, the organizing committee sent a report to the city, and you approved it, and the mayor also signed it. The Finance Bureau replied that it could be in place this month, and we had to figure out our own way first, so the expenses for this section were paid in advance with the office funds of the housing management office. The housing management office usually has little money, and that little money is stretched to cope with the daily office, and if you pay this fee in advance, the daily office of the house will be affected to some extent. The money in the office was gone, and I took another 10,000 yuan from my own house and advanced it first.

Since the end of last month, we have been inquiring about this month's expenses, and we said that we will definitely be able to pay them in early December. At the beginning of the month, we asked the Finance Bureau almost every day, and the reply was "soon, soon". Last Thursday, the Finance Bureau replied directly "next week", and asked them on Monday, and said "Tuesday and Wednesday". Today is Wednesday, and when I inquired again in the morning, the Finance Bureau said that it could not be allocated for the time being. The reason given is that the city is trying its best to raise the arrears of compensation for the residents of those two projects, and it is simply not able to squeeze out the money.

I went directly to the Finance Bureau to find it, and told them that the city leaders had approved it, and the matter was very urgent, so I asked them to think of a way. Deputy Director Shen, in charge of the Finance Bureau, said that which appropriation has not been signed and approved by the city leaders, and which fund is not in a hurry? He also said that the focus of the Finance Bureau is now to raise the compensation for the demolition, and even the normal expenses of various units are stuck a lot, and it is even more difficult to guarantee such expenses that exceed the budget at the beginning of the year. I was about to go to the director, but Deputy Director Shen told me again that it was useless to find the director, and the director had already gone into hiding and couldn't find it at all. He said that in order to get the money, Mayor Wang and Mayor Peng had to sign a note stating that it would be paid from the compensation for the demolition, and they could do so. Speaking of this, Chang Yuzhou stopped.

Seeing the other party's expectant eyes, Chu Tianqi understood that this was to ask him to find Mayor Wang's approval.

Is it worth looking for the mayor for this kind of funding? Chu Tianqi couldn't help but ask himself.

After thinking for a while, Chu Tianqi took out his mobile phone and dialed a call.

As soon as the mobile phone was connected, Cao Jinhai's voice came from inside: "Mayor, are you looking for me?"

Chu Tianqi said: "Director Chang, the funds for the housing reform pilot have not yet come down, and the bureau will first think of a way to get some money." ”

"I'll be there for you right away, and I'm about to report on this, and I'll be there in a moment. Cao Jinhai said.

"Okay. Then you come straight over. After speaking, Chu Tianqi hung up the phone.

Judging from Cao Jinhai's tone, it seems that the Urban Construction Bureau has also encountered problems, so it is better to wait for him to arrive. So, Chu Tianqi put aside this topic for the time being and asked some details of the pilot campaign. Sanyuzhou replied, but was clearly absent-minded.

Soon, Cao Jinhai arrived, and Zhou Jialin came with him.

Seeing the two of them coming together, and then looking at the helpless expressions of the two, Chu Tianqi knew what was going on. But he still asked: "Is it because the urban planning and design funds have not come down?"

Zhou Jialin said: "That's it." When the project was first launched, the Finance Bureau replied that the first batch of funds would be allocated in December, and Director Cao first borrowed 50,000 yuan from the bureau's office funds. The experts of the design institute were very efficient, personally went to the site, checked the data, and soon carried out the work of demonstrating the nature of urban development and estimating the size of the population. At the end of last month, the whole planning and design entered the second stage, and we also needed to pay 200,000 yuan. At that time, the fee was not down, so I communicated with the person in charge of the design project, and the other party agreed to postpone the payment for another ten days. Since the beginning of this month, the other party has urged me twice, and I have been asking the other party for understanding. Last week, the deadline was given for the payment of the fee by December 10, or the design work could only be temporarily suspended. But ......"

In Zhou Jialin's entire narration, the financial department asked for money, which was the same as that of Chang Yuzhou. The difference is that Zhou Jialin only saw the director of the Treasury Payment Center, and the director and deputy director had already avoided it, and they couldn't get through on the phone.

Chu Tianqi looked at Cao Jinhai: "Director Cao, these two funds have not arrived, it seems that the bureau has to help find a way first." ”

"Mayor, there is no money in the bureau, I was about to report this, and half of the bureau's office expenses were deducted this month. Cao Jinhai had a bitter gourd face.

"Oh, why?" Chu Tianqi asked rhetorically.

Cao Jinhai said: "The reply of the Finance Bureau is to raise compensation. They said that according to the original plan, there was still a shortfall in funds, so they had to 'borrow' some of the funds from other units. I learned that in addition to the Urban Construction Bureau, the Land Bureau was also deducted half, and the other bureaus didn't seem to be deducted. ”

Chu Tianqi was puzzled: "This is a bit unfair, right?"

"yes, that's unfair. For this reason, Wang Chengxia and the chief of the finance department have just gone to the Finance Bureau again to raise questions about this matter. The other party faced doubts and said that it was justified. They said that the reason why the city's financial funds are so tight is mainly to raise compensation for demolition and relocation, to deal with the mess for urban construction, and for all units to help urban construction, so the urban construction bureau should 'lend' some funds. The money was deducted by them, they also said cool things, saying that it was just 'borrowing', and it was not that they didn't pay it back, and they also ridiculed the urban construction bureau for its low consciousness and lack of awareness of the overall situation. Cao Jinhai was very helpless, "At that time, Wang Chengxia wanted to quarrel with them angrily, but she was worried that she couldn't provoke the other party, so she had to hold back her anger and go back to complain to me." ”

The three of them stopped talking, they all looked at Chu Tianqi, and they were all waiting for further instructions from the other party.

Chu Tianqi didn't say anything right away, but thought about these things.

In fact, when he came to Chang Yuzhou today to talk about the funds, Chu Tianqi felt that this matter was by no means a problem of lack of money. No matter how tight the funds are, hundreds of thousands of yuan are a piece of cake for the Chengkang Municipal Finance Bureau. In particular, the city has also held a special meeting to announce the pilot project of housing reform, urban planning and design, and the handling of Feitian and unfinished projects in the four seas. At the meeting, Wang Yongxin and Peng Shaogen made a special request for the strong support of the Finance Bureau. The director of the finance bureau also deliberately approached himself after the meeting and expressed his absolute support. Therefore, without the director of the Finance Bureau to speak, without Wang Yongxin or Peng Shaogen nodding, the Finance Bureau would definitely not have the idea of this money.

However, the fact is that not only the funds for the housing reform pilot project are not in place, but also the special funds for urban planning and design are not in place, and half of the office funds of the Urban Construction Bureau have been deducted. Listening to Cao Jinhai's words, half of the funds of the Land Bureau were also deducted. Then this matter is too obvious, on the surface, it seems that the funds for urban construction and land are stuck, but in fact, it is definitely not a matter of money, but specifically for me.

Okay, then come on, I'll just see what it can do to me? Thinking of this, Chu Tianqi said: "Director Cao, I know that the bureau is short of funds now, but the housing reform pilot must be guaranteed." Now that the funds are not in place, then you can help squeeze out some first, and you must not let this matter stop halfway, that would be a mistake. ”

Cao Jinhai hurriedly said: "Mayor, the money in the bureau is really ......"

Chu Tianqi interrupted the other party: "Don't find a reason, this matter is settled." Also, the matter of urban construction planning can be ranked second, but it is best to pay some money to the design institute first, and the Zhou Bureau will do the work of the other party, and it is best not to stop this matter. Speaking of this, Chu Tianqi turned his head to Zhou and Chang, "You two go back first, and you will find Director Cao for the funding, and it will be in place by Friday at the latest." If you can't get there, you can sue me. ”

Zhou and Chang were immediately overjoyed, happily replied "yes", looked at Cao Jinhai with a bitter face, and then walked out of the room.

Chu Tianqi pointed to the cigarette box: "Lao Cao smokes a cigarette." ”

Cao Jinhai took out two cigarettes, gave one to Chu Tianqi, took one for himself, lit it for the other party first, and then lit a fire for himself. He took two puffs and said, "Mayor, this time I can borrow it from other funds, but if the last few special funds are not allocated, I can't do this." Moreover, the borrowed funds must also be returned, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with this matter after a long time. ”

"Lao Cao, don't worry, I will never let you get into trouble because of this. To tell you the truth, this incident must be related to the incident the day before yesterday, and someone must have sued me. The city leaders mistakenly thought that of these three things, I was only enthusiastic about those two things, and was not enthusiastic about the unfinished projects, and even thought that I was not ready to deal with that matter at all, thinking that I was actually promoting housing reform and urban planning and design under the guise of that matter. They also felt that they couldn't ask questions directly, so they reminded me with a financial jam, telling me not to take care of one thing or the other, and wanted me to make a commitment in person. Chu Tianqi suddenly smiled, "In this case, can I come to the door to make a guarantee?" Obviously not, doesn't that answer their speculation?"

Cao Jinhai nodded: "That's really the case." ”

"So, in this case, they pretend to be stupid, and we pretend not to understand, what to do and how to do it, especially those two things. Chu Tianqi's tone was gentle, "This requires you to do more work." ”

"Mayor, the housing reform pilot project really can't be stopped, if it is stopped, the opportunity may be lost. Cao Jinhai said hesitantly, "Urban construction planning and design, including the implementation of the future, can not be achieved overnight, can it be postponed now?"

Chu Tianqi smiled: "If you really can't raise this money, if you want to suspend this matter, I won't stop you." ”
