31 December 2002, 8 p.m.

Liao Fanmin followed Vice Governor Liu Fangsheng to the conference room of the Provincial Department of Finance.

Some of the leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial government have already arrived, and their secretaries are waiting in the next room, and Liao Fanmin is no exception, following Vice Governor Liu Fangsheng into the conference room, putting the briefcase on the table, and turning to the next room.

The director of the Provincial Department of Finance, who was studying at the Central Party School, also came back from leave and was in the conference room with Cao Wenyuan.

Cai Siwei entered the house at half past nine, and when he came in, the rest of the people stood up to say hello, and Liao Fanmin also stood up with everyone.

There is no intersection between Liao Fanmin and Cai Siwei, both of them have a lot of things, when Liao Fanmin went to work next to Vice Governor Liu Fangsheng, he was only at the department level, at that time Cai Siwei was already the director of the secretary department, at the level of the director, so there could be no intersection between the two, and Liao Fanmin was unwilling to bend down to make friends with Cai Siwei.

After Liao Fanmin was promoted to deputy director-level secretary, the situation changed slightly, and occasionally when he met Cai Siwei on the tenth floor, the two would nod and greet each other, but the two were still faint and did not have much friendship.

Liao Fanmin feels that there can be no very iron relationship between him and Cai Siwei, both in terms of personality and temperament, there should be a big difference between the two, and the arrogance that Cai Siwei reveals all the time, Liao Fanmin is very unaccustomed to it.

To Liao Fanmin's surprise, Cai Siwei gave up greeting others and came over to greet Liao Fanmin.

Liao Fanmin responded while feeling strange, although Cai Siwei's grade is older than him, but Cai Siwei is the secretary of the governor after all, and he has been promoted to the director of the secretary department for a period of time, and later when the provincial government office was reformed, it was also clear that he was the secretary of the department level, and he was the only department secretary among the secretaries of the provincial government.

This also means that when Cai Siwei is assigned, he will definitely be promoted to a deputy department-level leader.

Liao Fanmin knows very well that although he has been promoted to deputy director-level secretary, he is just starting out, and it is not clear how it will develop in the future.

At 10 o'clock, the city's fiscal revenue began to gradually concentrate on the provincial finance department, and the constantly changing figures on the computer indicated that the annual fiscal revenue was converging.

At this time, the whole province is the same, the secretaries and mayors of counties and cities, including the leaders of county and city party committees and governments, are all in the Finance Bureau, staring at the screen, paying attention to the final figures of fiscal revenue, and the party and government leaders of prefectures and cities are the same, the situation in the province is different, the main leaders of the provincial party committee generally will not be present, because this is a matter of the provincial government, the provincial party committee will not interfere, but several other leaders of the provincial party committee will still come to the finance department.

Of course, when the final figures come out, the provincial governor will call the secretary of the provincial party committee as soon as possible to report on the situation of fiscal revenue for the whole year and the growth of fiscal revenue.

Cai Siwei and Liao Fanmin and others next door don't need to be particularly concerned, they don't need to worry about this matter.

While waiting, Liao Fanmin's mind was thinking of the train at one o'clock in the morning, presumably the problem of catching the train was not very big, the financial revenue came out at twelve o'clock in the morning, and at that time, everything became a foregone conclusion, and the provincial leaders would simply say a few words, such as everyone's hard work, and then it was over.

Of course, the Department of Finance will arrange a supper, and if the financial revenue situation is very good, the provincial leaders will drink some wine and congratulate them when they are happy, but Liao Fanmin can not participate in such a supper.

Just in case, Liao Fanmin had already reported to Deputy Secretary-General Su Chenxi, and now that Su Chenxi is by Vice Governor Liu Fangsheng's side, he will also find an appropriate time to explain the situation to Vice Governor Liu Fangsheng.

Time kept passing, and Liao Fanmin felt bored, in fact, these secretaries didn't have to attend tonight's meeting at all, they didn't do anything, they just waited stupidly next to them.

The room was quiet, and everyone consciously did not speak.

There are a lot of taboos between secretaries, after all, they all work around the leader, more or less know a lot of situations, many situations need to be kept confidential, can not be said casually, some secretaries with good relationships, private contact will say some news that does not hurt, but so many secretaries are gathered together, no one will speak casually.

Such a scene made Liao Fanmin feel bored and a little sad.

Finally, at twelve o'clock, there was a round of applause in the conference room next door.

Cai Siwei looked in the direction of the conference room, turned his head to Liao Fanmin and spoke.

"Secretary Liao, it seems that the situation is not bad, and the leaders are congratulating. ”

Liao Fanmin nodded.

"I guess so. ”

After a while, Cao Wenyuan came over with a smile on his face and invited everyone to eat in the restaurant.

Liao Fanmin walked at the back and spoke to Cao Wenyuan in a low voice.

"Director Cao, I have some things, so I won't go to the restaurant to eat, and I'll tell Governor Liu about it later. ”

"What's the matter, the leaders are very happy today, the fiscal revenue has increased significantly, the increase has reached 13.7%, which greatly exceeds the plan at the beginning of the year, if you leave at this time, wouldn't it be a pity. ”

"I really have something, Director Cao, then I congratulate you in advance. ”

"Rejoice and rejoice. ”

Cao Wenyuan was not polite, the director of the department studied at the Central Party School for a year, and then went after the Spring Festival, and the work of the Finance Department was actually presided over by Cao Wenyuan, so the substantial increase in financial revenue this year was also due to Cao Wenyuan.

Entering the restaurant, Liao Fanmin saw Vice Governor Liu Fangsheng with a smile on his face.

After walking over, Liao Fanmin planned to whisper to Vice Governor Liu Fangsheng, but he didn't expect Vice Governor Liu Fangsheng to speak in a low voice.

"Xiao Liao, go get busy, there's nothing going on here. ”

Walking out of the Finance Hall, the street was already quiet.

Liao Fanmin politely refused Cao Wenyuan's arrangement to send a vehicle, and raised his hand to call a taxi.

As soon as the taxi stopped at the door of the community, the mobile phone rang, it was a call from Liao Zexi.

"Dad, I've arrived at the gate of the community, the train at one o'clock in the evening, you and your mother are the plane at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, I checked, to the airport in Nanhua City for transfer, you should arrive in Hangzhou City at about twelve o'clock in the afternoon. ”

"I know, I just came out of the conference room, and I had a few drinks, and I came out to breathe and want to call you. ”

"Dad, the situation in Libei City should be good, I heard Director Cao say that the situation in the province is very good, and the growth rate of economic income has reached 13.7%, which is nearly two percentage points higher than the target set by the National People's Congress at the beginning of the year. ”

"Xiaomin, you are in the province, looking at the data summarized below, I feel that the situation is very good, but the real situation is not like this. ”

"Dad, what do you mean by that? ”

"Are you talking conveniently now. ”

"Convenient, it's just me. ”

"Well, I'll tell you some actual conditions, lest you don't know anything in the future, let's just say that Libei City, compared with the previous year, the fiscal revenue has indeed increased, but the actual increase is about 10 percent, which is already very good, it is the result of everyone's hard work, but the above requirement is 13 percent, and there are three percentage points must go up, saying that it is to pay an account to the province, because the goal proposed by the provincial people's congress is to increase by 12 percent, so we need to report 13 percent, so that we can ensure the completion of the figure, so tonight when the financial revenue is covered, we cover part of the bank loan, the task must be completed... ”

Liao Fanmin was holding his mobile phone, a little dazed, he thought of the many smiles he had seen in the restaurant before.

"Dad, you're not kidding. ”

"Boy, I'm telling you the actual situation at the grassroots level, what are you kidding, in fact, there are some things, as you know, you said that the growth rate of the province's economic income has reached 13.7%, either our work has not been done well, or there are some places where the water is even greater than ours... ”

"Isn't this a matter of eating food? ”

"Who is not like this, local development, infrastructure construction needs a lot of funds, the welfare of cadres and workers must also be guaranteed, what to do if there is no money, you can't steal it, printing money is even more impossible, then what can be done, either to embezzle project funds, or to find a bank loan, to repay the bank's loan for the annual financial income. ”

。。。

"Okay, don't say so much, tomorrow at noon you come to the airport to pick us up, I am not very familiar with Hangzhou City, I will not find a place for a while, I heard that Hangzhou Airport is in Xiaoshan, there is still a certain distance from Hangzhou City, I used to go to Hangzhou by train, or take a car to go. ”

When he walked into the elevator, Liao Fanmin felt that his body was a little weak.

The longer he works, the more he can recognize a lot of things, but Liao Fanmin doesn't particularly know what the situation is at the grassroots level, and he has always started his own business before he was reborn, and he has never cared about grassroots affairs.

Could it be said that the leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial government are not aware of these situations, it should be said that the possibility is not great, after all, the leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial government have also come up step by step from the grassroots level.

Liao Fanmin suddenly felt that some things seemed to be conventional, counties and cities had to give accounts to the prefecture and city, prefectures and cities had to give accounts to the province, and the province had to give accounts to the central government, and if they failed to complete the task, they would definitely be criticized, so they had to complete the set tasks no matter what.

It won't work like this, and if you have too much water, you're deceiving yourself, and there's no point.

Liao Fanmin suddenly remembered that before he was reborn, he heard a word: squeezing water, which was proposed by the central leadership, and now he understands it a little.

When he walked to the door, Liao Fanmin comforted himself that things would always develop in a good direction, and it was normal for such and such problems to occur in the development process.
