Originally, I still thought that as soon as the appropriation arrived, the salaries borrowed by the working group would be made up first, and then the 43,000 yuan of personal borrowing would also be withdrawn. But now there is a "special fund", and the funds cannot be freely disposed of, obviously these tens of thousands of yuan can only be pushed back temporarily, and left for the opportunity to talk about it later.

Although 700,000 yuan should eventually be used for the project, there is no cash at the disposal now, and the few businesses I talked about earlier will not be able to perform the contract for the time being. At that time, it was clear that the deposit should be paid first, and then the down payment would be made, and then the contract could be fulfilled. This is contrary to the town's requirement to "take the results of the stage to ask for money", and it is impossible to carry out these cooperations. What's more, there is only that money now, and it is good to lie on the account first, so as to be used for the stage acceptance and settlement.

According to the regulations, the "Village-to-Village" project fund consists of three parts: provincial and departmental allocation, county financial support, and town financial financing. In the past, it was mainly waiting for the "big head" of the provincial department, and also following the practice of "first going up and then down" in allocating funds, and the working group did not rush to urge the county and town governments.

Now that the funds of the provincial department have arrived, and they have been held back by the town for reasonable reasons, then they can only find the county finance. So Ge and Li frequently went to the county seat, sometimes together, sometimes separately, looking for the government again and again, and running the finances again and again. Finally, after running more than ten times, I met the executive deputy county magistrate who was very busy, and the deputy county magistrate also happily approved the payment documents.

With the standing approval of the county government, Li Guanglei rushed to the county finance bureau and came to the bureau office. Then, according to the instructions of the office staff, I went to the Operations Unit.

There was only one person in the business unit, a man in his forties. took the document and looked at it, and the man said "Let it go".

"Wang Stocks...... Section Chief Wang, when will the funds be allocated? Li Guanglei asked extremely respectfully.

When he heard the title, the man showed his joy at first, and after hearing the latter content, his face became serious again: "The allocation of funds must go through the formal procedure, and the time is uncertain." ”

Without asking any more questions, after thanking him, Li Guanglei left the county finance bureau.

On the second and third days, Li Guanglei called the Business Unit of the Finance Bureau, and the reply he received was that "the procedure is being followed."

If you can't wait, Li Guanglei went to the county finance again and found the head of the crown.

"Section Chief Wang, smoking." Li Guanglei showed his respect when he entered the door.

"Huh?" Glancing at the cigarette roll, the man pushed away the other party's right hand.

I don't suck it. Li Guanglei also put away his cigarette and mentioned his intention: "Section Chief Wang, I want to ask if the procedure is over?" ”

"I don't know." Chief Wang replied with three words.

"Unclear...... That...... Who knows? Li Guanglei asked.

"Program, you know? This is real money, there is no ambiguity, and every procedure must be strictly controlled. Chief Wang said, with a look of contempt and disdain on his face.

Not in the mood to care about these details, Li Guanglei smiled awkwardly and asked again: "Where has the program gone?" ”

"Budget Unit." After saying that, Chief Wang directly lowered his head and flipped through the newspaper on the table.

It's not here, so what else do I have to worry about? After thanking him, Li Guanglei left the business unit. When he turned around to close the door, he saw through the crack in the door that the man with the top was taking out a cigarette case from the drawer and pulling out a cigarette roll. Noticing the cigarette box logo, Li Guanglei understood that the man was not a non-smoker, but that his grade was too low.

Whatever, he didn't have the money to send cigarettes, and he had passed the business unit anyway. Thinking like this, Li Guanglei walked quickly to the outside of the budget unit and knocked on the door.

After several knocks, no one from the budget unit answered, but they knocked on the opposite door.

It was a big fat man who came out of the door, frowned and said, "There is no one in the house", and the door was about to be closed.

Li Guanglei immediately stepped forward and smiled with a smile: "When can there be someone?" They ......"

"I don't know." After a short turn, the fat man turned around directly and closed the door.

Wait, I won't believe it yet. So Li Guanglei stood outside the budget unit and played a game of waiting for the rabbit.

Until the end of work in the morning, no one came, and the budget unit was never opened.

I went to the street to eat a little, squinted in the car for a while, and just went to work in the afternoon, Li Guanglei returned to the budget unit.

People go to work in twos and threes, and many rooms are also in and out of people, but the budget unit still has no sound.

The time was both long and short, and he waited until five o'clock in the afternoon, and still did not see anyone from the budget unit, so Li Guanglei had to ask again. Several rooms asked, and the answer was the same: "I don't know".

In this way, it was not until the end of work and until the security personnel inspected the building that Li Guanglei reluctantly left the Finance Bureau.

When Li Guanglei returned to the working group, night had fallen, but Ge Yuqing had not yet returned home and was still waiting for news.

After listening to Li Guanglei's speech, Ge Yuqing sighed: "Hey, why is it so difficult to ask for money." Guanglei, you have to hurry, now the highway construction is progressing rapidly, and it will soon be time to carry out the cement surface, how can you do it without money? ”

Li Guanglei nodded: "I know, I know." I have hurried to urge here, and the highway side has also done a solid job of basic work. ”

Ge Yuqing smiled bitterly: "I know that it is not easy to ask for money, so I specially found the general manager in private, and we just got the approval." In order to buy you time, I also made a special effort to ensure the quality of the road, and the hardening of the bottom layer and the leveling of the gravel alone exceeded the normal time. But that doesn't work, it's already a lot of wasted work. Well, it's the weekend anyway, and you're tired enough these days, so fix it up and try to get the money down next week. ”

"Okay, I'll try." Li Guanglei's tone of reply was not easy.

……

There was no rest for two days on the weekend, and Li Guanglei went down to the construction site in a row.

Indeed, as Ge Yuqing said, those basic works have been done solidly enough, and they can no longer grind foreign workers.

Early on Monday morning, Li Guanglei went to the county finance bureau again.

There was a middle-aged woman in the budget unit.

After hearing the intention, the middle-aged woman let out an "oh" and did not reply immediately, but flipped through a pile of documents.

At the very bottom of the document, the middle-aged woman pulls out a piece of paper: "Oh, it's this. I got it, go back and wait. ”

It's been a mess for a long time, and it's still in the budget unit. Li Guanglei couldn't help but be depressed, and he was also very angry. He didn't move his steps, but asked, "Section Chief Xiao, how long will this procedure take, and when will the funds be in place?" ”

"I don't know, we're only in charge of the budget." The middle-aged woman said that, and tossed through the stack of documents again.

What is this called? Li Guanglei had a fire in his heart, but he was still polite: "Section Chief Xiao, when will the budget procedures be completed?" ”

"I don't know, I'm just the deputy head of the unit, and I have to do what I am told."

"How long does it take? One day? Quite a while? ”

The middle-aged woman raised her head and said in an unkind tone: "What, you set rules for us?" ”

"No, no, I didn't mean that, I'm waiting for money on the highway, and I've been here several times, so I'll ......," Li Guanglei hurriedly explained.

The middle-aged woman interrupted in a cold voice: "I don't care how many times you come, anyway, it's the first time I've seen you." The budget is a necessary step in the financial allocation, not to mention that the appropriation is outside the budget, and we have spent a lot of effort for this money. ”

Li Guanglei immediately smiled with a smile: "I know, I know, please ask Section Chief Xiao to bother more." It's just that time waits for no one, and the money is waiting for the construction site. ”

"Do what you can, you should be prepared before you build the road, and you should raise the money. If you don't have anything, you just want to build roads, just wait for the county finance to come out with blood, how can there be such a cheap thing? Whatever it is, everything is too easy to do, it's like a scene in a cartoon, you have what you want. The middle-aged woman's statement was very harsh.

Damn*, Li Guanglei scolded in his heart. Stabilized his mind and said in a deep voice: "This road has been included in the Provincial Department of Finance's 'Village-to-Village' pilot, and the provincial and municipal transportation bureaus attach great importance to it, and the executive deputy county magistrate also paid attention to it personally when he signed, and the county magistrate Zheng also ......."

"What do you mean?" The middle-aged woman raised her voice, "Take a big hat and press me?" Which project is not important here, and which project does not have leadership attention? But in the final analysis, it still has to be paid by the county finance? What happened to the executive signature? There are a lot of signatures from the big county magistrates. But just such a little money, pulling and pulling, it's not enough to spend, how can we get it? ”

After a pause, the middle-aged woman took out the pile of paper and threw it on the table: "Look, these are all signed by the county leaders, and the above copies are still signed by the big county magistrate, what should I do?" How do you say? ”

Nonsense, if Lao Tzu cares, he still needs you? Li Guanglei gritted his teeth and scolded secretly, and his cheeks bulged a few times.

Noticing the other party's expression, the middle-aged woman spoke again: "The traffic hall is too, if you don't get it early, you have to insert a pole halfway." If you want to do it, you have enough money to prepare. This is good, the face is all theirs, but it is difficult for the county finance, what is the matter?

It's the same in the county, why do you have to sign and approve things that are not on the budget? Directly put it at the end of the year, and wait for the approval of the people's congress in the coming year. Why do we have to be difficult to handle, so that we are not human inside and out? Hmph, I don't understand the rules at all, or what......"

Listening to the sentence of pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, Li Guanglei hit the top beam with fire, and he really wanted to go up directly with his big ears and scrape, and he really wanted to drag the woman to the highway scene. But he only thought about it in his heart, but he had to press and press, and press. For the sake of money, what else can you do if you don't press it? Besides, good men don't fight women.

After some psychological activities, Li Guanglei's mood calmed down a little, but his tone also brought out some anger: "It is true that there are procedures in finance, but there are also time limit requirements. I asked again and again, not because I was messing around, but just hoping to get the money I deserved. I don't dare to expect to get it on time, at least I can't exceed the deadline too much, and I can't force people to be in a hurry. ”

"You ......" The middle-aged woman's eyes breathed fire, her chest rose and fell from time to time, but she didn't say anything excessive, but simply turned her head to the side.

"I'll be back." Li Guanglei said and left the house.

The moment the door closed, the insulting voice squeezed out the crack in the door: "Damn, I don't understand the rules, and I'm a deputy ......."
