In the mayor's office of Anding City, there was silence for a while, although Ai Dong was not yet clear, but Zhang Zetao, who was frowning, had already guessed the purpose of his coming to see him today.

"Ask for money"!

With Zhang Zetao's character, knowing this kind of thing, of course he won't ignore it, but just after taking office in Anding City, Zhang Zetao is indeed powerless.

If we want to pay teachers' salaries and improve the construction of primary schools in two towns, it is not a matter of one or two sentences, but we need real funds.

Zhang Zetao is not bad for money, but the education in Anding City cannot be paid for by himself, and to solve the problem of education, it is necessary to start from the root.

Standing up and walking to the desk, Zhang Zetao hesitated slightly, picked up the phone, and dialed the internal line of the Anding Municipal Government.

In the office of Wang Mingtang, deputy mayor of Anding City, the rapid ringing of the phone made Wang Mingtang frown, and when he saw the internal line number displayed, Wang Mingtang's brows furrowed even deeper.

"The number of the mayor's office, how can this Zhang Zetao call me"?

After thinking for a while, Wang Mingming, who didn't know why, hesitated a little and picked up the phone.

"Hello, Mayor Zhang, I'm Wang Mingtang."

"Oh, Mayor Wang, hello, I don't know if you have time to come to my office, I have something I want to touch with you"!

Hearing the voice of Wang Mingtang, the deputy mayor in charge of Anding Education, on the phone, Zhang Zetao spoke calmly.

Wang Mingtang, who was holding the phone, did not answer immediately, but muttered and guessed what Zhang Zetao's purpose for looking for him was?

"Mayor Wang"?

The silence of the other party made Zhang Zetao frown, and he couldn't help but shout slightly.

"I'm sorry, Mayor Zhang, I'll be there soon."

Wang Mingtang, who didn't have a clue, heard Zhang Zetao's voice again and had to open his mouth to agree.

Hanging up the phone, Wang Mingtang took the phone, and wanted to dial the phone of Mao Liquan, the secretary of the municipal party committee, but thinking of what Mao Liquan had ordered before, he suddenly hesitated.

Although Wang Mingtang's ability is not good, but the officialdom's ability to see the wind and steer is really not weak, thinking of some words in the previous office of Mao Liquan, the secretary of the municipal party committee, Wang Mingtang still feels that it is better not to make a big fuss, so as not to be reprimanded by Mao Liquan again.

"Dangdangdang".

"Please come in".

With the sound of knocking on the door, Zhang Zetao responded calmly, and when he saw that it was Wang Mingtang, deputy mayor of Anding City, who pushed the door in, Zhang Zetao stood up with a smile.

"Hehe, Mayor Wang, it's here so soon, please take a seat."

Wang Mingtang and Zhang Zetao's office are only two floors apart, even if you take the stairs, it will only take three or two minutes, and it has been a quarter of an hour since Zhang Zetao called Wang Mingtang.

Looking at the smile on Zhang Zetao's face, listening to Zhang Zetao's calm words that seemed to be no longer calm, Wang Mingtang's brows tightened slightly.

Although he did not report to Mao Liquan, as the deputy mayor of Anding City and Mao Liquan's descendant, Wang Mingtang still took control of Zhang Zetao, otherwise he would not have arrived at Zhang Zetao's office after fifteen minutes.

Although Zhang Zetao had just arrived, Wang Mingtang didn't believe that Zhang Zetao didn't know the location of the office of the two, and he came so late, Zhang Zetao still used a quick word, what does this mean?

Could it be that there is a knife hidden in the laughter, cynicism!

"I'm sorry, Mayor Zhang, something happened all of a sudden, it's too late."

"Hehe, Director Ai, too"!

Wang Mingtang opened his mouth with a smile, since he dared to handle it, he naturally thought of dealing with it, but he didn't expect Zhang Zetao's mood to be so good, and he smiled like he was fine.

"Mayor Wang".

Seeing Wang Mingtang, Ai Dong hurriedly stood up and shouted, but there was a faint displeasure in his tone.

Wang Mingtang is the deputy mayor who focuses on education, and there is no reason why he should not know what Ai Dong reported to Zhang Zetao, but the education in Anding City is still like this, which can only show that Wang Mingtang, the deputy mayor who focuses on education, is seriously derelict in his duties.

"Director Ai, you're welcome, sit down."

Wang Mingtang didn't seem to regard himself as an outsider, and after sitting on the hospitality sofa, he didn't forget to wave his hand to Ai Dong, the appearance of the owner of the deputy mayor's office.

Wang Mingtang's appearance not only made the displeasure on Zhang Zetao's face disappear in a flash, but also the embarrassment on Ai Dong, director of the Anding City Education Bureau, appeared on his face, neither standing nor sitting.

"Director Ai, don't stand, sit down, since Mayor Wang has arrived, let's meet again!"

Listening to Zhang Zetao's words, seeing that Zhang Zetao's face did not show any anger because of Wang Mingtang's rudeness, Ai Dong sighed slightly in his heart, and the mood of hope that he had before suddenly appeared with an indescribable loss.

I didn't know Zhang Zetao's purpose for calling him over, but when he saw Ai Dong, director of the Anding City Education Bureau, Wang Mingtang seemed to understand.

Guessing what Zhang Zetao wanted to say next, Wang Mingtang's heart, which was originally slightly raised, completely relaxed.

The problem of education in Anding City is not a day or two, not to mention a cliché, but also a well-known one. It has not been solved all these years, and the problem of pressure in the interior is not a star. In Wang Mingtang's heart, if Zhang Zetao was looking for trouble in this matter, he miscalculated.

"Mayor Wang, just now Director Ai reported to me some things about the salaries of teachers in Anding City and the dilapidated houses of primary schools in two towns, I don't know if you have heard of these two things"?

Although Zhang Zetao guessed that Wang Mingtang must understand, as the mayor of Anding City, he couldn't help but give Wang Mingtang a chance to speak.

"Mayor Zhang, I have heard about these two things you said, and Director Ai has also reported to me many times."

Looking at Zhang Zetao's appearance, Wang Mingtang spoke a little respectfully, but he sneered a little in his heart, and secretly sighed that Zhang Zetao was looking for nothing to do and making a fuss about this matter.

"Oh"?

Zhang Zetao thought that Wang Mingtang would shirk and be surprised, but he didn't expect him to answer so simply and affirmatively.

"Since Director Ai has reported to Mayor Wang, I would like to know what your views on these two things are your thoughts as the deputy mayor who focuses on education?"

Zhang Zetao's eyes looked at Wang Mingtang, not sad or happy, it can be said that the two years of tempering in Shanxi Province have played an indelible role in Zhang Zetao's growth, making him understand the confrontation in officialdom, know how to be introverted, and become more low-key.

"Alas, Mayor Zhang, you have just arrived in Anding City, and you may not know very well. Looking at the dilapidated houses of the two town primary schools, as the deputy mayor of education, I can't shirk my responsibility, but I am really powerless"!

Wang Mingtang's rhetoric is very sensational, very excited, and his performance is also in place, if it weren't for Zhang Zetao's official and business system, he might really be deceived by his actor-like performance.

"Mayor Wang, I think that as the deputy mayor who focuses on education, it should not be difficult to get a fund from the municipal party committee and the municipal government!"

Detecting the true idea in Wang Mingtang's mind that he wanted to see himself ugly, Zhang Zetao frowned slightly, and his tone couldn't help but become a little serious.

"It's easy to say, Mayor Zhang, I won't tell you, I have been about this fund no less than three times, almost once a year, because of this matter, I also went to see Secretary Mao of the Municipal Party Committee in person, but the finance does not allocate funds, I can only watch, there is no way"!

"So, regarding the teachers' salaries and the two town primary schools, the municipal party committee and the municipal government used to agree, but it was just because the treasury had no money, is that true?"

Zhang Zetao looked at Wang Mingtang deeply, then shifted his gaze to Ai Dong's face and asked softly.

"Alas, Mayor Zhang, indeed, that's right."

Feeling Zhang Zetao's gaze, although he knew that it was boring, but Wang Mingtang was present, how could Ai Dong say it.

The Finance Bureau is the money bag of Anding City, a huge county-level city, and it can't move even a little bit of funds, who will believe it?

The Maori right controls Anding City, and naturally controls the money bag of Anding City, not so much that the allocation of the Education Bureau is stuck in the Finance Bureau, but that it is stuck in the hands of Maoli Power.

To tell the truth, in addition to Ai Dong's report to Zhang Zetao, there are also other problems in the education of Anding City, not only in primary schools, middle schools and high schools, but in comparison, teachers' salaries and the dilapidated houses in primary schools in two towns are more serious.
