Chapter 100: Changing horses halfway
Immediately afterwards, Fei Jinlin raised a second question.
"As we all know, the water diversion project not only involves our Xiazhou City, but also nearly half of the places along the project are under the jurisdiction of Xiangshui County. This raises a very specific conundrum about the provenance of the funds. To tell the truth, all this money is paid by our Xiazhou City, and our finances can afford it, but if we take out all this money, and there is no way to report it financially, and if it is not good, it may be regarded as an economic crime. The safest source of this money is to transfer it from above. Under these circumstances, our Xiazhou City CPC Committee and Government had no choice but to invite Comrade Liu Sanshi out, and he would be specifically responsible for the project examination and approval and the application for funds for this project. Comrade Liu Sanshi, please tell us about the specific situation. β
Liu Sanshi said: "To tell you the truth, when Secretary Fei asked me to take over this work at the beginning, I was resistant. That's right, I got back 1.8 million yuan from the Provincial Department of Finance, but that was because I was stationed in Datangou Village, and Datangou Village was indeed very urgent to have such a road. It's within my job responsibilities that I do, and I feel like I'm duty-bound. Does the water diversion project have anything to do with me? I'm a little clerk, what do I do with so many things? If I stretch my hand too long, maybe some people will think that I have ulterior motives! Why should I? β
If you want to put it aside in the past, Liu Sanshi said this, everyone will definitely think that he is full of that kind of bad problem, but now everyone doesn't see it like this, but thinks that Liu Sanshi is a true temperament.
Liu Sanshi continued: "But after looking at the water diversion project along the line, I don't think so anymore, the people there are like my own parents, just like my brothers and sisters, they are suffering from the plight of serious water shortage, and I feel uncomfortable!" β
Speaking of which, Liu Sanshi's eye circles are red, and many people's eye circles are also red.
Liu Sanshi calmed down and continued: "This time I went to the provincial capital, I went to the Water Conservancy Department first, and I had to approve the project. In addition, I have another idea, I want to move the Water Resources Department, let the Water Resources Department take the lead for us, and apply for this money. Later I realized that my idea was too naΓ―ve, not ordinary. After a week in the Water Conservancy Department, I came to work and followed them after work, like a primary school student going to school. As a result, I didn't even see a serious manager. I was in a hurry, and at noon, I blocked the director of the Water Conservancy Department, Cai Xinde, at the door of the house, and forced him to read the materials I had brought with me. β
There was an exclamation below, everyone was worried, Liu Sanshi's method was so simple and rude, could Director Cai buy his account?
Liu Sanshi smiled: "I didn't expect my trick to be quite effective, Director Cai read my report, cried, cried a lot, took my hand and thanked me, saying that it was my behavior, so that he avoided the opportunity to make further mistakes." And immediately made a decision and agreed to do this project. He also dragged my hand to the provincial government, and asked Governor Ma to approve the plan on the spot. β
Speaking of this, Liu Sanshi's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he said with a depressed face: "I don't know what's going on, this report went to the Provincial Finance Department, but it was stuck there." β
Fei Jinlin stood up and said: "Let me add to this matter, two hours ago, I received a call from the director of the Provincial Department of Finance, who expressed their thoughts on behalf of the Provincial Department of Finance. After all, this amount of money is 80 million, which is a considerable amount, and it is really irresponsible that we just sent a clerk to contact us. In case something goes wrong with this fund, the Provincial Department of Finance cannot afford to take this responsibility. So, their advice is to let someone with a slightly higher position go to them. β
Fei Jinlin seemed to be a little evasive when he said this, but he knew in his heart that among the members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, there would definitely be people who would question it. All he has to do now is be patient.
Sure enough, Xing Zijian took the lead in questioning: "Secretary Fei, I listen to the meaning of the Provincial Department of Finance, I want us to change people, how can this be?" This matter has always been done by Liu Sanshi, and other people don't know the specific situation at all, how can they take over? I think there are loopholes in their thinking, and worry is necessary, but this kind of change of horses in the middle seems to be more unreliable and irresponsible. β
Fei Jinlin smiled and said: "Mayor Xing, you don't fully understand the meaning of the Finance Department, they didn't say that they wanted to replace Liu Sanshi, just based on Comrade Liu Sanshi's relationship and popularity in the Finance Department, how could the Provincial Finance Department propose to replace him?" The Ministry of Finance is only concerned about the responsibility for this fund. I think this kind of thinking is not unreasonable, and if it were us, we would also have this kind of worry, after all, it is 80 million, and Comrade Liu Sanshi's current position and rank are indeed unable to bear such a great responsibility. β
Xing Zijian suddenly realized: "You mean that the Department of Finance is not worried about Liu Sanshi, but minds his current position, is that what you mean?" β
Fei Jinlin nodded and said, "It should be like this." β
Xing Zijian smiled, then scratched his head and said, "If that's the case, then we really have to seriously consider Liu Sanshi's position." β
Jiang Yimin couldn't hold back any longer, stood up with a snort, and said loudly with a black face: "You guys don't sing and act here, I'll just make it clear, the real intention of the Provincial Department of Finance is to use the 80 million as a coercion to force our Xiazhou Municipal Party Committee to promote Liu Sanshi to an official." This kind of behavior is nothing more than favoritism on the basis of principles, and is a serious violation of the articles of association and the regulations on the promotion of civil servants. I solemnly declare, and I strongly oppose it, that if we succumb to the threat of the Ministry of Finance, it will be extremely irresponsible to the work of the organization and a serious violation of national laws and regulations. β
Fei Jinlin didn't look in a hurry, but his tone of voice was majestic and unquestionable: "Deputy Secretary Jiang, your judgment about the impure purpose of the Provincial Finance Department just now is just your personal subjective assumption, whether it is the truth or not, none of us can say, and we can't say. In this case, your reason for opposing Liu Sanshi's promotion under this specific premise is not valid, or in this matter, we will not consider this factor for the time being. You are specifically responsible for the organization, can you explain the reasons for your opposition from this perspective? β
