Seeing He Zhuoxiao walk in the door, Wen Chunming sat at the desk without even raising his head.

He Zhuoxiao said: "Mayor Wen, I have to report to you. ”

Wen Chunming said unhappily: "Report what?" If you want to report, you can report to Secretary Gao! ”

He Zhuoxiao plucked up the courage and said, "Mayor Wen, I'm ...... I'm here to resign! ”

Wen Chunming was stunned, stood up with a "whew", stared at He Zhuoxiao and said angrily: "You resigned? What to resign? Are you still afraid that I'm not annoying enough? Yes? Changjiang sends water, workers are laid off, this meeting, that meeting, I'm so busy that I don't even have time to fart! Speaking of this, he slapped the documents in his hand vigorously, "Look at it, look at it, the number of laid-off workers has increased by more than 10,000 in the past two months, and I am about to have a meeting with the heads of various systems, you are here to make trouble at this time!" He Zhuoxiao, I can make it clear to you: since the flat rolling mill has Secretary Gao Changhe in charge, I don't care, you can find him to resign! I think you'd better wait for Secretary Gao to withdraw! ”

He Zhuoxiao said with a crying voice: "Mayor Wen, I ...... I've been working with you since the mill was a wasteland, and I'm reporting to you for the last time, you...... Can't you just be patient and listen? ”

Wen Chunming also seemed to think it was too much, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, you say, hurry up." Suddenly remembered, "Hey, Lao He, aren't you going to Shanghai to negotiate today?" ”

He Zhuoxiao said: "I'm not going to go, there was another accident in the flat rolling mill this morning......

Wen Chunming was taken aback: "What's going on again?" Or is it for the purpose of raising funds? ”

He Zhuoxiao nodded, and told all about the suicide of Zhao Yecheng and his wife and the fact that the workers wanted to carry the corpse and petition for fund-raising.

Wen Chunming broke out in a cold sweat and said continuously: "How did you get to this point?" How did you get to this point? The whole family committed suicide! If this kind of thing is going to get out, how bad is the social impact?! ”

He Zhuoxiao said: "If the workers really carry the corpse to petition, the impact will be even worse!" Therefore, I have already informed the Finance Department to repay everyone's fund-raising funds, and I used the five million in my account, and I didn't have time to report to you! ”

Wen Chunming was shocked again: "Lao He, those five million are production self-help funds!" You don't have a long time to live? Even if the merger negotiations can be successful, there will be a transition, what are you going to do?! ”

He Zhuoxiao said: "Mayor Wen, I ...... I don't know what to do, anyway...... It's not my business anyway, I can't do it anymore......"

Wen Chunming was angry: "He Zhuoxiao, are you really picking on me?" Pick on me at such a difficult time? Yes? After thinking about it, he tried hard to suppress his anger and said, "Okay, okay, Lao He, if you send five million, you will send it, anyway, the raised funds will have to be repaid sooner or later, and now that there is such an emergency, I don't blame you for sending it." But let's also make it clear, at least until the work of the East Iron and Steel Group's merger of the flat rolling mill is completed, you have to be the director of the plant! This is not my opinion alone, but also the opinion of Secretary Gao, and the opinion of the municipal party committee! ”

He Zhuoxiao said: "Mayor Wen, it's not that I don't want to do it, it's that I don't have the face to do it anymore." As he spoke, he handed the suicide note written on the homework paper from his pocket to Wen Chunming, "Mayor Wen, you ...... Look at this. ”

After reading the suicide note, Wen Chunming was silent for a long time, thinking that it must have been this suicide note that touched He Zhuoxiao's conscience and made him feel guilty about his reimbursement of his mother's medical expenses.

However, Wen Chunming did not say anything, but only sighed: "What a good worker, Lao He, just for such a good worker comrade, just to be responsible for them to the end, you can't resign from this position!" ”

He Zhuoxiao whimpered: "Mayor Wen, you ...... You don't know, I ...... I'm ashamed! The workers in the factory are so good, and your leaders are so good, early this morning, Secretary Gao sent Director Liu Yiru and comrades from the Civil Affairs Bureau to send my mother to the hospital for hospitalization, but ...... But what have I done? I...... I reimbursed my mother's medical expenses in my name at the flat rolling mill! A total of more than 39,000 yuan. If the more than 39,000 yuan was used on Zhao Yecheng, the couple would not have died, I ...... I'm a bastard......"

Wen Chunming sighed: "I and Secretary Gao know about your situation. ”

He Zhuoxiao was stunned: "Since you know, you ...... You still won't remove me? ”

Wen Chunming's eyes also turned red: "What problem can be solved by withdrawing you?" Besides, if you're ashamed, won't Secretary Jiang and I be ashamed? Secretary Gao also called me last night and criticized me for being bureaucratic and not caring about the lives of my cadres. I sincerely accepted Secretary Gao's criticism. Now that you have taken the initiative to speak out about this matter, I will publicly apologize to you, and I will also apologize to you on behalf of Secretary Jiang! With that, he bowed deeply to He Zhuoxiao.

He Zhuoxiao wiped away his tears and said busily: "Mayor Wen, you and Secretary Jiang can't be blamed for this, no matter how difficult it is, I shouldn't do it, it's completely my personal problem, and it has nothing to do with you or Secretary Jiang." Now that the situation in Pingyang is more complicated, you don't have to take this matter into account anymore......"

Wen Chunming said sadly: "It's not that I want to take it, but I have the responsibility!" Secretary Gao said it well: If our cadres don't even have the money to treat their mother's illness, why haven't people worked for you day and night? Why?! But you are also confused, why didn't you tell me about these situations earlier? Why is it so messy? Do you know that this is a crime, it is corruption, and a case must be filed! That's more than 39,000 dollars to send you to prison! It's not just a matter of dismissal! ”

He Zhuoxiao was stunned: "Yes...... Is Secretary Sun Yadong holding on? ”

Wen Chunming nodded: "You don't know Sun Yadong, you don't even buy Gao Changhe's account!" ”

He Zhuoxiao asked nervously: "Mayor Wen, what ...... So what do I do? ”

Wen Chunming was silent for a moment, and said: "I've thought about it for you, quickly withdraw the more than 39,000 yuan, I don't have more, my family's deposit is only 20,000, I discussed it with my wife last night, and took it all out for you to emergency, the 19,000, you can find a way to borrow it yourself." ”

He Zhuoxiao was stunned: "Mayor Wen, how can I take so much money from you?" That's all your deposit! ”

Wen Chunming said: "Lao He, don't say this, we have worked together for ten years, and now that we have come to this point, I can only help you with this, you just let me do my best!" ”

He Zhuo Xiaomu thought for a long time before he said, "Mayor Wen, you have 20,000 for me...... I'll borrow it first, and then pay you back with bank interest, I'll ...... I've thought about it, after the flat rolling mill is dealt with, if you don't remove me, I have to resign to make some money, I ...... I can't live like this! ”

Wen Chunming said: "Let's talk about it later, you still have to go to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to find Sun Yadong and formally explain the problem to him, I don't look for him well, he won't believe that you took the initiative to confess." ”

He Zhuoxiao asked: "Then should I report to Secretary Gao again?" ”

Wen Chunming thought for a while and said, "It's okay to report it, I have always protected your senior secretary." "Look at the watch," it's already nine fifty o'clock, Secretary Gao is about to come over for a meeting, listen to the relevant departments report on the classified management of laid-off workers, you wait in the reception room outside, and when I call you, you can talk to him in person. ”

He Zhuoxiao nodded again and again, and went out nervously.

After about ten minutes, Gao Changhe arrived, and as soon as they met, he said to Wen Chunming with a smile: "Chunming, guess what, when I talked to Minister Gong and Tian Liye today, which one did Tian Liye play for me?" ”

Wen Chunming was full of thoughts, he was in no mood to guess at all, and shook his head expressionlessly.

Gao Changhe was very interested, and patted Wen Chunming on the shoulder: "Our Secretary Tian suddenly became hard and simple, and all the suits and ties on his body were changed, making him look like a laid-off worker." I didn't praise him, but criticized him! I asked him, with you dressed up like a poor sour, who would dare to invest in your Lieshan? ”

Wen Chunming coped and asked, "What do you say about this?" ”

Gao Changhe said with a smile: "Our Secretary Tian said that he is hard and simple, and he will divide the occasion!" Then he said, "Yes, yes, I see that Tian Liye has a lot of numbers in his heart, and he is ready to perform on the stage in Lieshan." ”

Wen Chunming snorted: "I hope!" ”

After finishing speaking, he said that He Zhuoxiao was going to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to return the stolen goods and confess the problem.

Gao Changhe immediately said: "It's good that He Zhuoxiao can have this attitude, it can be regarded as his confession, and now the top priority is to let him go to Shanghai and participate in the merger negotiations as soon as possible." ”

Wen Chunming said: "Lao He is waiting in the reception room now, do you want to see him?" ”

Gao Changhe waved his hand and said, "Forget it, he wants to catch a plane, and he will be gone today, wait for him to come back and see you again!" ”

Wen Chunming said: "Okay, I'll inform Lao He to go to the airport quickly." ”

Gao Changhe stopped Wen Chunming and said with a smile: "Why did Lao He suddenly remember to confess? Mayor Wen, shouldn't you have reported to him? Yes? If Comrade Yadong knows, I'm afraid I will have to give your opinion again! ”

Wen Chunming handed over the suicide note handed over by He Zhuoxiao to Gao Changhe: "Just look at this!" ”

Gao Changhe took the suicide note and hurriedly read it, and the smile on his face disappeared all at once......
