At that time in the 90s, the rural areas still had to pay a certain amount of grain taxes every year, and there were more than 20 villages in Gaohe Township, and the grain taxes collected every year were a large amount of income, and they were also the main source of financial income for Gaohe Township.

Niu Zhigang was stunned for a moment: "Hasn't this year's grain tax been collected?" ”

Tian Cuiying pouted: "I mean to collect next year's grain tax in advance." ”

"This ...... This is not appropriate......" Niu Zhigang frowned.

"Special treatment under special circumstances, and now we have no other way to repay the loan in the short term except to collect next year's grain tax in advance." Tian Cuiying said.

"Nope." Niu Zhigang shook his head: "According to the clear regulations, grain taxes cannot be collected in advance...... And...... Even if we do collect it in advance, those village party secretaries and village chiefs will have trouble. ”

"You are the secretary of the party committee, and those village party secretaries and village chiefs don't dare to argue with you at all." Tian Cuiying said.

"But......" Niu Zhigang wanted to say something.

"Secretary Niu, what are you hesitating about? Don't you want to pay off your credit union loan? Tian Cuiying said urgently.

Niu Zhigang smacked his cheeks: "The loan of the credit union must be repaid, but the tax is collected in advance...... I need to think about it. ”

"What else is there to think about, let's get through this difficult time first, and then talk about the future." Tian Cuiying persuaded.

"Say no more, let me think about it." Niu Zhigang waved his hand.

"Secretary Niu...... Time waits for no one......" Tian Cuiying didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Niu Zhigang reaching out.

"Okay, don't say it, let me be alone for a while, you can go back first." Niu Zhigang reached out and pressed his aching temples and rubbed them gently.

Tian Cuiying opened her mouth, and just when she wanted to say something more, there was a sudden knock at the door.

"Come in." Niu Zhigang said casually.

"Squeak."

The door of the office was gently pushed open, and Ma Xiaoyao strode in: "Secretary Niu, I have something to talk to you about...... Hey, Director Tian is also there. ”

"Oh, I'm also here to talk to Secretary Niu about things." Tian Cuiying said without being salty.

"Township Chief Ma, what are you looking for me?" Niu Zhigang asked suspiciously.

Ma Xiaoyao didn't answer Niu Zhigang's words, but turned his head to look at Tian Cuiying: "Director Tian, please go out first, I want to talk to Secretary Niu alone." ”

Tian Cuiying frowned: "What's the matter, I have to go out!" ”

Ma Xiaoyao's face sank: "Director Tian, please pay attention to your words......"

"What's wrong with my words, isn't what I'm saying true?" Tian Cuiying was not polite to Ma Xiaoyao at all: "Secretary Niu didn't let me out, why did you let me out?" ”

"Okay, Director Tian, if you're fine, go back first." Niu Zhigang said with a frown.

Ma Xiaoyao spoke, Tian Cuiying could not take it seriously, but as soon as Niu Zhi spoke, Tian Cuiying had to listen, snorted coldly at Ma Xiaoyao, and Tian Cuiying raised her feet and left the office.

Looking at the back of Tian Cuiying's departure, a trace of fierceness flashed in Ma Xiaoyao's eyes, this Tian Cuiying didn't take herself seriously at all, she must find an opportunity to clean her up.

"Township Chief Ma, it's just the two of us here now, just tell me if you have anything." Niu Zhigang said lightly.

"That's right, I'm here today to talk to you about the turf." Without waiting for Niu Zhigang to greet him, Ma Xiaoyao came over and sat on the chair automatically.

Niu Zhigang raised his eyebrows and looked directly at Ma Xiaoyao: "You're coming to see my jokes, right?" ”

Ma Xiaoyao smiled and waved his hand: "Secretary Niu, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to see your jokes today, I wanted to talk to you about selling turf." ”

"Sell the turf?" Niu Zhigang's eyes suddenly widened: "Do you have a way to sell those more than 100 acres of turf?" ”

Ma Yao nodded: "Yes." ”

"Have you found a buyer?" Niu Zhigang's voice trembled a little.

"Yes, I've found a buyer." Ma Yao smiled.

"Who's the buyer?" Niu Zhigang asked.

"This ...... You don't need to know, anyway, I found a reliable buyer who could buy all the turf in one go. Ma Xiaoyao sold a pass: "Secretary Niu, I helped you such a big favor, how can you thank me?" ”

"Ah...... I ......" Niu Zhigang opened his mouth: "This ...... Or should Mayor Ma say, how do you want me to thank you? As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you. ”

Ma Xiaoyao smiled slightly: "Then I'm welcome, Secretary Niu, I want to remove Tian Cuiying and replace someone as the director of the finance office." ”

"Huh?" Niu Zhigang was stunned for a moment: "Township Chief Ma, you ...... You're not kidding me......"

"Do you think I'm joking?" Ma Xiaoyao pouted: "Secretary Niu, you also saw Tian Cuiying's attitude towards me just now, how arrogant is that?" I'm also the head of the township, right? She Tian Cuiying is just a small director of the financial office, so she dares to show me in public? It's simply unorganized and undisciplined! ”

"Township Chief Ma, what Tian Cuiying did was wrong, I will definitely criticize her and educate her when I look back...... Please also ask Township Chief Ma not to be like her...... "Niu Zhigang said hurriedly.

Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "Secretary Niu, you don't have to help her intercede, I won't hide it from you, I have a very good opinion about this Tian Cuiying, I have to remove her and replace her as the director of the finance office." ”

"Township Chief Ma, you just give Tian Cuiying another chance, I promise that she will never dare to give you another look in the future...... "Tian Cuiying is Niu Zhigang's hardcore cronies, and she is also a mistress, of course Niu Zhigang wants to protect Tian Cuiying."

"I've given Tian Cuiying many chances, but she hasn't corrected it at all...... I'm completely dead set on her. No matter how Niu Zhigang interceded, Ma Xiaoyao insisted on removing Tian Cuiying.

Niu Zhigang took a deep breath: "Township Chief Ma, there is really no room for negotiation?" ”

"Nope." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "Tian Cuiying must be removed." ”

Niu Zhigang was silent for a moment and asked, "If I don't agree, don't you care about selling turf?" ”

Ma Xiaoyao chirped: "I have always been in a mood for doing things, if I am in a good mood, I will be happy when I do things, and if I am in a bad mood, I will be bored in doing things......" Although Ma Xiaoyao did not say it explicitly, the hidden meaning in the words has already shown his own position, if you want Ma Xiaoyao to help sell the turf of more than 100 acres, you must remove Tian Cuiying from the position of director of the financial office, otherwise, Ma Xiaoyao will no longer help sell turf.

Threat!

This is clearly a threat!

Niu Zhigang's face became extremely ugly, once upon a time, Niu Zhigang was so powerful and prestigious in Gaohe Township, in Gaohe Township, no one dared to offend Niu Zhigang, but since Ma Xiaoyao came, Niu Zhigang has been unlucky, at first his prestige was reduced, and now he is burdened with debts, and then he was forced by Ma Xiaoyao to remove Tian Cuiying...... This series of recent events has made Niu Zhigang extremely depressed and haggard.

Seeing Niu Zhigang's calm face and not saying a word, Ma Xiaoyao immediately smiled and said: "It seems that Secretary Niu can't make a decision for a while, so let's do it, I'll go back first, and then call me when Secretary Niu thinks about it." After saying that, Ma got up and left.

......Niu Zhigang tilted his head back, leaned back on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and gently exhaled a sullen breath: "What should I do?" ”

……

The time to get off work in the evening is fast approaching.

Ma Xiaoyao cleaned up, got up and walked out of the office.

"Township Chief Ma, are you free tonight?" Kong Liang leaned over from the side.

"Available? What's wrong? Ma Yao asked suspiciously.

"Oh, that's right, Director Chen wants to treat you to a meal......" Kong Liang said with a smile.

"Invite me to dinner?" Ma Yao was stunned for a moment: "Good and decent, why did you invite me to dinner?" ”

"This ...... There is no special reason, just thank you for taking care of her these days...... Kong Liang explained: "Township Chief Ma, you just agreed, but I made a guarantee in front of Director Chen, saying that you would definitely agree tonight." ”

Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "Okay, I agreed." ”

"Great." Hearing that Ma Xiaoyao agreed, Kong Liang's face suddenly became happy.

……

A clean and spacious private room.

Ma Xiaoyao, Kong Liang and Chen Shuirou sat around the dining table, eating and drinking with laughter.

The dishes on the table are very ordinary home-cooked dishes, and the wine is also the cheapest beer.

"Township Chief Ma, I toast you, thank you for taking care of me during this time." Chen Shuirou picked up the wine glass and said.

Ma Xiaoyao picked up the wine glass and touched Chen Shuirou gently, tilted his neck and poured the whole glass of beer into his mouth, and the cool feeling instantly filled his entire mouth, making Ma Xiaoyao very comfortable.

Chen Shuirou was not pretentious, and she also took a sip of beer that drained the wine glass.

Kong Liang hurriedly picked up the wine bottle and helped Ma Xiaoyao and Chen Shuirou fill the wine glasses.

"It's been a long time, it's been a long time." Ma Yao wiped his mouth and laughed.

Beer is a low-alcohol thing, refreshing to drink, and most importantly, cheap, both rich and poor.

"Director Chen, when are you and Kong Liang going to get married?" Ma Xiaoyao suddenly laughed.

"Huh?" Chen Shuirou never thought that Ma Xiaoyao would ask this question, and her face suddenly turned red: "I...... I haven't decided whether to marry Kong Liang yet......"

Kong Liang was unhappy when he heard it: "If you don't marry me, who else can you marry?" ”

"I don't like to hear what you say, don't I have no other man in my life?" Chen Shuirou glanced at Kong Liang.

"It's not...... You swore last night that I wouldn't marry...... Why did you change your hexagram today......" Kong Liang said hurriedly.

"Well, what nonsense are you talking about." Chen Shuirou's face turned even redder.
