Chapter 66: Ugly Words Ahead
There were still 20 minutes before 4 o'clock, and the heads and brains of various departments and towns had arrived one after another. These powerful figures in Yuehai County were actually very unimpressed with this meeting, but the notice said that it was a meeting about wages, and if they didn't attend, they would bear the consequences, which couldn't help but make these heads have some scruples in their hearts. After all, the payment of wages is a major matter related to the unit and the department, if Zhao Changfeng, the young county magistrate of Erwuyan, found an excuse to drag and drop the wages of the unit and the department because he did not attend the meeting, then it was his own leader who would be poked in the backbone. In fact, this head has already gotten the news, knowing that Zhao Changfeng can't get a few money, and it is likely that he will not be able to pay the full salary, which angered Zhao Changfeng at this time, and it is inevitable that he will not be pulled over by Zhao Changfeng to support his back.
"Secretary Zhang, it's early. Know what this is going to be for this afternoon? ”
"Hey, didn't you say? Meetings to study the payment of wages. ”
"Study what? You won't say that only part of the salary is paid, right? I heard that the Provincial Department of Finance has withheld the money, and the county's finances are a little tight! ”
"Possibly." The man squinted his eyes, "But it is more likely that the county magistrate of Xiao Zhao is looking for you, the big director, to make a fate!" The Transportation Bureau has a thick background! ”
"Lost! I think it's almost as good as looking for you! Pei Ke'an, director of the transportation bureau, said: "If you want to talk about your family background, who can compare to your Shiwan Town?" Secretary Wang's fingers leaked a little bit is enough for our Transportation Bureau to eat for a year! ”
"Lao Pei, don't talk nonsense. Recently, the shoe factory has stopped production and the holiday has been suspended, and we in Shiwan Town can't even pay the salaries of cadres and workers. Wang Zhuangxian, secretary of Shiwan Town, complained repeatedly.
Shu Tongwen, director of the Construction Bureau, approached Mo Yuegen, who was arranging the rostrum, and said: "Director Mo, what is the matter with today's meeting, give us a thorough understanding." ”
Mo Yuegen clapped his hands and said, "Director Shu, didn't the notice say about the salary?" As he spoke, he glanced at the venue.
"Nonsense, of course I know it's a matter of salary, I want to ......" Shu Tongwen also wanted to get more news from Mo Yuegen.
Mo Yuegen smiled and said, "Director Shu, the time is coming soon, I'll go and ask the county magistrate to come over." With a smile, he hung the heads of various departments there and went to invite Zhao Changfeng.
Zhao Changfeng was sitting in the office chatting with Dong Jinkun, and when he saw Mo Yuegen coming in, he asked, "It's all together?" ”
Mo Yuegen said: "They all came, but the top leaders of a few units did not come, and only sent deputies to participate." ”
Zhao Changfeng smiled and said to Dong Jinkun: "Old Dong, let's go, don't let those heads wait in a hurry." ”
Entering the small hall of the political axe, Zhao Changfeng and Dong Jinkun sat side by side on the rostrum, only to hear the buzzing in the auditorium, and the heads and brains of all departments and units in the audience were talking one after another.
Zhao Changfeng's eyebrows furrowed.
Dong Jinkun stretched out his hand and knocked on the microphone, and said loudly into the microphone: "Comrades, please be quiet, please be quiet." ”
Some keep their mouths shut, others still chatter.
"Quiet, please be quiet." Dong Jinkun shouted twice. But it still doesn't work, those who have closed their mouths have closed their mouths, and those who chatter are still chattering, as has always been the tradition of meetings in Yuehai County.
"The comrade in the red shirt in the penultimate row, if you have anything to say, please come up to the rostrum and tell everyone about it?" Zhao Changfeng stretched out his hand and pointed at the bald fat guy in the red shirt, and said calmly.
The bald fat guy thought that he would sit very far back and would not attract the attention of County Magistrate Xiao Zhao, but when he heard that Zhao Changfeng was aiming at him, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide in shock.
The venue was quiet all of a sudden, everyone was an adult, and it was too faceless to be criticized by County Magistrate Xiao Zhao at the meeting.
Zhao Changfeng bowed slightly, and Dong Jinkun immediately said: "Today's meeting is mainly to discuss the issue of paying wages next week. The Provincial Department of Finance has deducted the arrears of our county over the years, and the county finances are a little tight, so I want to borrow a sum of money from you. Please carry forward the spirit and support the prefecture with practical actions. All units and departments can decide how much to support the county according to the actual situation of their own units and departments, and when the county's finances are more abundant, this money will definitely be repaid. ”
Dong Jinkun's words came down, and the venue immediately exploded. Zhao Changfeng and Dong Jinkun, the two county magistrates, really dared to think about it, and they actually hit the small treasury of all units and departments, these small treasury are the lifeblood of all units and departments, and even Qian Yunfeng and Duan Zhikui, the two bosses of local cadres, dare not easily involve it, and you Zhao Changfeng and Dong Jinkun don't weigh their own catties, they actually want to bite a piece on it? Aren't you afraid of biting down on a steel ingot and breaking your molars?
Pei Ke'an, director of the Transportation Bureau, stood up first and said: "County Magistrate Dong, if there is money in the account, I will take it out to support the county without saying a word, but our money has been handed over to the county finance, and there is no money in the account at all!" ”
Dong Jinkun frowned and said, "Director Pei, there should still be extra-budgetary funds from the Transportation Bureau, right?" ”
Pei Ke'an nodded, and said happily: "There are still a few thousand yuan of extra-budgetary funds, if County Magistrate Dong is not too little, I will let the finance transfer it to you tomorrow." ”
There was a burst of chuckles in the room. This Lao Pei is not openly playing tricks on Dong Jinkun. There is a gap of more than 10 million yuan in wages, what is this thousands of dollars enough?
Shu Tongwen, director of the Construction Bureau, saw Pei Ke'an taking the lead, and also stood up, and said to Dong Jinkun: "County Magistrate Dong, it's really embarrassing to say, I, the head of the construction bureau, can't come up with a penny in the face of the county's financial difficulties. It's not that I'm willing to lose this person, it's because I don't have any money in the account! ”
Wang Zhuangxian, secretary of Shiwan Town, also stood up and said, "County Magistrate Dong, if it was two months ago, I would still have some way to encounter this situation." But now, the town's shoe factories have stopped, the town's finances are also tight, and even the bonuses and benefits of cadres and workers have stopped. ”
With the help of these people from the real power departments, there was immediately a discussion at the meeting, except for Tao Xingwang, director of the Tourism Bureau, and several other department leaders who were close to Zhao Changfeng and Dong Jinkun, the heads of other departments and units were all shouting.
Dong Jinkun turned his head to look at Zhao Changfeng, Zhao Changfeng was smoking a cigarette leisurely, looking down quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Some people have seen Zhao Changfeng's methods, but they are still more afraid of County Magistrate Xiao Zhao, but when they saw that County Magistrate Xiao Zhao didn't say a word, they had confidence in their hearts and echoed it.
"Originally, the county paid us salaries, why did you ask us for money now?"
"That's it! The county magistrate is in charge of finance, and if he can't get the money, he will resign! ”
"That is, if you can't get the money, just find a hand below, this county magistrate will do it!"
…… Zhao Changfeng smoked quietly and let the noise beneath him. After he finished smoking a cigarette and saw that what was said below, Zhao Changfeng reached out and took the microphone and said calmly: "Are you all finished?" If you don't finish speaking, you can continue to stand up and say! ”
The venue suddenly calmed down, and everyone stared at Zhao Changfeng, looking at what the young county magistrate Zhao was going to say.
Zhao Changfeng slowly glanced at the venue, and said with a smile: "All units and departments have no money, which is very good." It's not easy for you leaders to work hard, and it's not easy to live tightly. It's a bit wrong for the county to let you use money to support the county. ”
Zhao Changfeng's words came out of the stereo at the top of the small hall and drilled into the ears of everyone in the venue.
"Okay, I'm not going to embarrass you today. Comrades in the unit who can come up with money please stay, comrades who have no money in the unit, you can go, for you, the meeting is over. ”
Zhao Changfeng had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, glanced at the venue again, then withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to drink tea.
There was silence at the venue for a few seconds, and everyone wondered in their hearts, what did County Magistrate Xiao Zhao mean by saying such a thing? Is it a threat? Is it a lure? Or is it a bluff?
Pei Ke'an, director of the Transportation Bureau, remembered Secretary Qian Yunfeng's explanation, he gritted his teeth, and said in his heart that he would go, and he didn't believe that County Magistrate Xiao Zhao could do anything to me. He reached out and grabbed his handbag and walked out.
Zhao Changfeng didn't seem to see Pei Ke'an's movements, and still drank tea quietly. Over there, Dong Jinkun and Mo Yuegen were so anxious that they wanted to stomp their feet. If Zhao Changfeng doesn't stop Pei Ke'an, then the other heads and brains will follow suit.
Pei Ke'an looked at the momentum, but he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, there are too many legends in Yuehai County about the strong background of County Magistrate Xiao Zhao. But until he walked out of the door of the small hall, he didn't see how Zhao Changfeng was, Pei Ke'an was relieved in his heart, and said that County Magistrate Xiao Zhao was nothing more than that.
The heads watched Pei Ke'an walk out of the door of the small hall, and their hearts fluttered. Wang Zhuangxian, secretary of Shiwan Town, came to the rostrum with his handbag in his hand and apologized to Zhao Changfeng and Dong Jinkun in a whisper: "Two leaders, the town's finances are really tight, and they really live up to the expectations of the two county magistrates." ”
Zhao Changfeng smiled, glanced at Wang Zhuangxian, nodded and said, "The town's finances are tight, I know." Go ahead. ”
Wang Zhuangxian's heart trembled, but the words had already been spoken, and it was difficult to change his words, so he smiled at Zhao Changfeng, turned around and walked out.
When others see it, if they don't leave at this time, when will they stay? They all got up and walked out, and after a while, the small hall that was originally full became empty, leaving only Tao Xingwang, director of the tourism bureau, and five or six other people to stay in place and not move.
