Chapter 36: Gritting Teeth and Persevering

At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the conference room of the Fengjiao Working Group, all nine people were present, and the atmosphere was a little dull.

"What's going on? I don't have time to speak. Qi Zuren, you say, isn't it usually quite exquisite? Ge Yuqing urged again.

Qi Zuren smiled awkwardly: "Usually, it's usually a trivial matter, and I can do some specific work." Road construction is a big deal, and big things can only be listened to by the team leader, and there are also those who listen to the deputy team leader. ”

"Now the team leader asks you to speak. You're such an adult, you can't have no thoughts at all. Ge Yuqing's tone brought out unhappiness, "Say whatever you want, don't always figure out my thoughts." ”

"This ......" hesitated for a moment, Qi Zuren said, "Road construction is indeed a good thing, and it is a matter that benefits the country and the village and the people, and we should participate in it, and we should fully support it." It's just that...... It's just that building roads is throwing money, not a small amount of money, and you must do what you can. With the current strength of the working group, it is simply not enough to support the entire project, and it is simply ......."

"According to what you mean, we won't repair it, and just throw down an unfinished project?" Ge Yuqing interrupted in a deep voice.

"No, no, I didn't mean that, it was ...... It's just ......" Qi Zuren didn't give a complete reply in the end.

"I'll give you my opinion." "It's a good thing to build a cement road for the whole territory of Fengjiao, and it should be, and the working group will take the lead in repairing it, which is absolutely right." In this process, the transportation bureau and the villages have also given strong support, so that the work can be carried out to this extent. It's just that the most head-scratching thing now is money, without money everything is in vain, now you have to think about where to get the money, as long as the money is there, everything else is nothing. From my point of view, I'm in favor of continuing to cultivate. ”

Immediately afterwards, several other people also spoke, with a meaning similar to that of Da Dagang, and I did not object, but also mentioned doing what I could.

Clearing his throat, Li Guanglei spoke: "Comrades, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, it seems that everyone has the same understanding on this point. Since we all share the same ideals, nothing else is a matter and should not be a thing. Then everyone will mention the question 'where does the money come from', yes, money is hard currency, how can you do without money? ”

yes, where did you say it came from? Several people slandered in their hearts.

Li Guanglei changed his words: "Let's put aside the matter of money for the time being, let's talk about the project first." The conditions for us to build this road were difficult and the support we could get was very limited, but it was in this situation that the project started. From the perspective of the whole process, this is like climbing a hill to pull a car, and now it is the climbing stage, and it has encountered a hurdle. Think about it, what should we do in this situation? Needless to say, we can only pull forward and pull over this hurdle. Otherwise, it will fall down the hill uncontrollably, causing car damage and injury. Of course, even if you pull the car forward, it will inevitably bump and hurt everyone. Here, as the deputy leader, and as the deputy mayor, I guarantee that if there is a mistake in the process of advancing, the responsibility will be mine. ”

Count him in? He's too bold, isn't he? For now, it's time to take responsibility. That's good, someone takes the initiative to take responsibility, of course. Many people were relieved.

A few people secretly despise it: in the end, there is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm.

"But the premise is that you have to pull the cart with everyone, and those who are left behind halfway will not be counted, and I will not be responsible for the deserters." Speaking of this, Li Guanglei's tone changed, "Of course, it is everyone who has made achievements, and I will never be greedy for more." What do you think? ”

This dare is good, not only do not have to be responsible, but also may get results, and people have given positive responses.

After saying "yes", Ge Yuqing opened his mouth: "It is very good that comrades can work together so much, and I am very moved." In particular, Comrade Guanglei's courage to take responsibility touched me even more, and I was also very ashamed. As the leader of the working group and the former old secretary of Fengjiao Township, I have no reason to hold back, let alone let the young people be responsible alone, and the responsibility is borne by the two of us. ”

Da Dagang answered: "I'm also one, although I'm not a leader, but I'm also an old party member, and I'm a ......."

Ge Yuqing raised his hand to interrupt: "No need. With me and Comrade Guanglei, the weight is enough, and there is no need to take more people. ”

Several people breathed a sigh of relief, and also secretly scolded the huge "monkey" one.

Ge Yuqing continued: "There are indeed some difficulties in the project now, that is, the problem of money, but we must also grit our teeth and persevere, just as Comrade Guanglei said, now it is a hill climb and a cart, and we can only move forward, not backward." In this way, the two months' salary that was repaid today has just arrived, and I don't receive a penny, so I lend it all to the unit. ”

"I don't take any of them." Li Guanglei responded immediately.

Huge just answered: "I also have two ......"

Ge Yuqing interrupted again: "Your father takes a lot of medicine every month, how can he do it if he doesn't receive a penny?" So, let's borrow it for a month. ”

"Originally, I was supposed to lend it for two months, but the child didn't have tuition, so I borrowed it for a month first." Qi Zuren followed suit.

Several others had to grit their teeth and lend a month's salary after talking about the "difficulties".

"Thank you, thank you!" Ge Yuqing bowed deeply to everyone, and his voice was slightly hoarse.

……

In this way, under the mode of "temporary arrears in the front account and cash in the back account", the food on the construction site was continued, and the supply of stone was restored.

At the county transportation bureau, I don't know if Yu Dajiang was grateful for the friendship of his old classmates, or if he was "confused", or if he heard something, anyway, the construction machinery and personnel were working as usual, and the team did not let the team refuel the equipment.

The joy is that the project continues, the worry is that the money is limited, the urgency is when there is hope, and the confusion is whether the judgment is wrong. Despite the conflicting mood, Li Guanglei still went down to the construction site every day and followed up the project in person, for fear that something would go wrong.

In this way, five days have passed, and the money that has been collected has also seen the old bottom, and if there is no capital to continue to inject, the next day it will not be able to open the pot.

Ge Yuqing made a phone call, called Li Guanglei over, and told him about the current situation.

Li Guanglei did not comment on this, but took out a passbook from his pocket and handed it over: "Team leader, use this first." ”

Ge Yuqing took the passbook suspiciously, looked at the contents, and immediately handed it back: "You just earned a salary, and it's not easy to save some money." Besides, it's a big hole, and if you want to fill it up, you can't get a drop in the bucket. Aren't people's wages an example? ”

"It's not much, but it's all my personal savings, including the scholarship and work-study leftovers from college, as well as the first two months' salary. Take it first to respond to emergencies, and it will be a while to be able to hold it for a while. Although people's wages are not a big deal, but after all, they have persisted for a few days, persistence is victory, grit your teeth and persevere, God rewards hard work. Li Guanglei took the passbook, "I will immediately take out the money and hand it over to the treasurer." ”

"Wait." Ge Yuqing stopped Li Guanglei, muttered for a while, said "I can't be a bad seed either", opened the drawer, and also took out a passbook.

Seeing the other party behaving like this, Li Guanglei was both happy and slightly embarrassed: "Team Leader Ge, I don't mean anything else, just ......"

"Okay, what are you grinding, I've been a person for seven or eight years, and my consciousness can't be lower than that of a deputy department." Ge Yuqing said, pushed Li Guanglei, and took the lead.

After a short time, more than four piles of cash were put on the financial table, and the financial staff was both surprised and suspicious.

Leaving the finance room, Li and Ge went to the team leader's room again and continued to discuss related matters.

"Ding Woo Bang", the bell rings.

Looking at the caller ID, Ge Yuqing said: "Old Yu phone, what's the matter?" ”

While speaking, the phone was connected, and Yu Dajiang's voice came: "Old Ge, I have done my best, and now I really can't help you anymore, I have to withdraw personnel and equipment." ”

When Ge Yuqing heard this, he was anxious: "Old Yu, what do you mean?" Three days and two heads to pinch people. ”

Yu Dajiang hurriedly explained: "How can I pinch you, it's the leader who is looking for me again, and I'm ...... now."

"You already said that day, isn't it just that the deputy county magistrate is looking for you, and he doesn't show any attitude? Maybe the county is supportive. Ge Yuqing interrupted the other party.

The phone sighed: "Alas, it would be better if that were the case." This time, it was not the deputy county magistrate who looked for me, but the big county magistrate. The big county magistrate also received a letter, saying that I was using the public for personal gain, helping my old classmates for personal gain, and disregarding the interests of the county bureau. ”

Ge Yuqing opened his mouth and scolded: "Let his mother fart." We share the worries of the transportation bureau and take the initiative to take the lead in repairing the road, and the county bureau cooperates with the natural sense, and we should support it more. We are building roads for the villagers, for the collective benefit, so why do we have any selfishness? ”

"That's right, but after all, someone sued, and I have to pay attention to the limelight." The other party's voice was full of helplessness.

Ge Yuqing hurriedly said: "That can't be ...... either"

Li Guanglei raised his hand, took the phone, and said calmly: "Director Yu, I am Li Guanglei." I just want to ask, what is the attitude of the county magistrate? ”

"The county magistrate...... The county magistrate didn't comment, but reminded me to pay attention to being careful of others putting cold guns. Yu Dajiang replied.

Li Guanglei said: "The county magistrate did not express his position, in fact, it is an attitude in itself, he is in favor of the bureau's approach, otherwise he will definitely put it forward and even criticize you." In addition, the support of the bureau is not a day, if the county magistrate does not approve, I am afraid that I will find you a long time ago. ”

Yu Dajiang said: "Not necessarily. Now the wisest thing for me to do is to withdraw the people and equipment first, and then ......."

"What?" Ge Dajiang snatched his phone back, "Lao Yu, let's two classmates, I am very happy and grateful for your help, I just hope you can continue to support." It is not easy for us to persist until now, just for this road, the members of the working group have taken a month or two of salaries, and Li Guanglei has even taken out all his savings of 13,000. ”

"Team Leader Ge also took out 30,000 yuan, which is the money he is going to give the old man to repair the house." Li Guanglei said loudly from the side.

"Old Yu, we are gritting our teeth and insisting, you can pity and pity me, and then insist on insisting, even if we spend the 40,000 three, when we really can't come up with the money, you will withdraw people and equipment. All right? Ge Yuqing's words were begging, and his voice became hoarse.

There was a pause in the phone, and then a voice came out again: "Hey, why bother! What are you two trying to do? ”

"Help the people."

"For the ideal!"

Ge Yuqing and Li Guanglei replied successively.

"Hey......" There was another long sigh on the phone.
