Wave after wave of unsettled petitions, and before the incident of migrant workers' petitions was raised, "reporters" suddenly appeared to interview them. Just when Liang Haixing was nervous, on the road outside the office courtyard, there was a rapid siren again, from far to near, becoming clearer and clearer.

Not long after, a police car stopped at the gate of the bureau's office compound, and then two policemen came down and walked quickly towards the office compound. Unexpectedly, he was blocked at the door by the police who came, and one of the policemen asked, "Which one is Deputy Director Liang Haixing?" ”

Liang Haixing heard the police shouting his name and hurriedly stepped forward to understand the situation. It turned out that the Municipal Public Security Bureau received an order from the Municipal Party Committee to come and examine the "reporters" who were interviewing.

After a brief investigation and questioning by the police handling the case, the truth was revealed: the two reporters were indeed fake. According to the regulations, the police who came to perform official duties brought the two fake journalists suspected of disturbing public order back to the public security bureau for further examination. Liang Haixing took the opportunity to educate the petitioners who were watching the excitement: "You see, we want to solve the problem, but some people take the opportunity to make trouble. ”

The petitioning migrant workers didn't expect things to be so complicated, let alone that they would be taken advantage of, and almost made a big mistake, and felt a little guilty, one by one, like children who had made mistakes, bowed their heads and followed Liang Haixing into the office building. The petitioning migrant workers were invited into the bureau for lunch by Liang Haixing, and the citizens who watched the excitement lost interest and gradually left, and the congested streets were restored to smoothness.

Looking at the petitioning migrant workers gobbling up steamed buns, Liang Haixing remembered his childhood experience, and couldn't help but feel a little sad, so he picked up the steamed buns, sat among the petitioning migrant workers, and had lunch with them. When the smell of sweat on the petitioning migrant workers wafted from time to time, Liang Haixing actually remembered his father who was working at home at this time, and looked at the petitioning migrant workers from time to time, and felt a sense of saying no in his heart.

Liang Haixing's actions deeply moved the petitioning migrant workers, especially when they heard that Liang Haixing was not a regular employee in the bureau, and he petitioned to collect debts when he was out of office, and felt a little embarrassed by Liang Haixing. Liang Haixing smiled slightly and said, "It's not easy for you, I think, if it weren't for the tightness, you wouldn't have taken such drastic actions." So, I understand you guys very well. ”

Liang Haixing seemed to feel that something was wrong, and as soon as his voice fell, he added: "As a fellow rural person, I personally understand your difficulties, but I disapprove of your approach very much, do you know the impact of this?" It's not good to spread the word. Besides, if you are impulsive and damage your official duties, it is a crime, not only will you be punished by the law, but you will also be affected by the children, from sympathizers to spurns, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

After receiving Liang Haixing's realistic education, the petitioning migrant workers no longer said anything, and bowed their heads to eat steamed buns. Suddenly, I don't know which petitioning migrant worker said to Liang Haixing: "Director Liang, your family is also rural?" Liang Haixing nodded and smiled slightly. Another petitioner didn't seem to believe it, looked at Liang Haixing carefully, shook his head, and said: "You see that Director Liang has fine skin and tender meat, like a white-faced scholar, who grew up in the city at first glance, and doesn't understand the suffering of our countrymen at all. ”

When Liang Haixing heard this, he couldn't help laughing, put down the bun in his hand, and said: "For any student, being admitted to university is an extremely happy thing. This is especially true for children in rural areas. Being admitted to university means jumping out of the peasant gate and becoming a city person, and becoming a national cadre as soon as you graduate. I still remember the moment when I just received my acceptance letter from university. Unexpectedly, my father was struggling with the high tuition fees, and squatted on the ground and smoked a cigarette. Liang Haixing then told the petitioner migrant workers the story of their parents who were worried about not being able to pay for their college tuition.

"At that time, the countryside was still relatively backward, and the families were not wealthy, so I finally borrowed some money from relatives and friends, but I still paid a salary. My mother remembered that a few years ago, my father had worked in a brick kiln factory, and the kiln factory still owed my father unpaid wages, so I asked my father to go to the kiln factory owner and talk to the people to pay the baby's tuition first. My father reluctantly told my mother that he had already approached the owner of the kiln factory, and they said that now the kiln factory has piled up so many bricks and tiles that it cannot be sold, how can he have the money to pay the wages. They also said that it really couldn't be done, so I asked my father to convert the wages he owed into bricks and tiles and go home, and sell them for the top salary. My father also heard about a few friends who needed to buy bricks and tiles to build a house, except that they thought that the bricks and tiles in the kiln factory were not of good quality, or that the number of bricks and tiles owed to my father was small, which was not enough to build a house. My father had no choice but to abandon his farm work and go to the kiln factory every day to collect debts. Especially as the start of school is approaching, the tuition fees have not yet been settled, and my father is blistering urgently. Maybe my father's actions touched the other party, or he said all the good things, and finally supported a few hundred yuan from the brick kiln, plus the sponsorship of the villagers, and finally made up enough money for my school tuition. However, despite this, unexpectedly, the kiln made my father sign double the salary on the receipt, and the family lost a fat pig for this. And my mother still thinks it's worth it. Otherwise, I don't know when I will be able to pay back my father's salary. It's a big deal for children to go to school. ”

While everyone was sharing the joys and sorrows of Liang Haixing before going to college, suddenly, a petitioning migrant worker sobbed. Everyone looked for prestige, and saw a petitioner put down the bun in his hand and cried like a child. The petitioner cried: "My child is about to start school, and I am waiting to pay the tuition." I also want to wait until I get paid and give my child a new dress. The migrant worker's words deeply pierced Liang Haixing's heart.

Seeing that Liang Haixing was moved, the petitioning migrant worker cried again: "Director Liang, you must have more money in your hands than us when you pay your salary every month for public dinners." If you really don't have any money in the bureau, Director Liang, I'll lend you some money first, can you save the emergency? In the future, when the superior allocates the money, you will deduct double from my salary. ”

Borrowing money to pay off debts, rightly so? However, where did I get so much money in such a short period of time? The petitioning migrant worker gave Liang Haixing a problem. Although Liang Haixing understood the feelings of the petitioners, he could not help. Looking at the petitioning migrant workers, Liang Haixing said helplessly: "You know, my family is not in Mashan, and I don't have so much money on hand." Liang Haixing said and put his hand into his trouser pocket, and took out the only few hundred yuan from it, and when the petitioner saw it, he seemed to see hope, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Then Director Liang, can you lend it to me first?" The petitioner said that he was about to reach out and take a few hundred yuan from Liang Haixing's hand, but was stopped by another migrant worker. Another migrant worker almost scolded: "We are collecting debts from the government, and Director Liang personally does not owe us money, and he also pays for our food, so why should we ask for other people's personal money, we have to be conscientious." After being reprimanded by his accomplices, the petitioner retracted his outstretched hand, looking extremely embarrassed.

Just when Liang Haixing was overwhelmed by the sudden situation in front of him, the petitioning migrant worker suddenly knelt in front of Liang Haixing and looked at Liang Haixing with pleading eyes. Looking at the scene in front of him, for some reason, Liang Haixing's eyes were a little astringent, tears couldn't help dripping, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help the migrant worker up, and then glanced at Hou Jinsheng who was not far away, and said to the petitioning migrant worker: "Let me think of another way." Liang Haixing said and walked towards the corner of the conference room.

"The sky is clear, God has opened his eyes, and there is hope for us to get paid." Behind Liang Haixing came the cheers of the petitioning workers.

Seeing that Liang Haixing had something to discuss with him, Hou Jinsheng quietly followed behind Liang Haixing.

Liang Haixing stopped and glanced at the expectant eyes of the petitioning migrant workers not far away, and his heart was a little hot. Liang Haixing turned to Hou Jinsheng's inquiring tone and said: "Old Hou, you have also seen the situation in front of you, it seems that the petitioning migrant workers are really in trouble, can you first divert a part of the funds from the bureau to solve the urgent need." ”

When Hou Jinsheng heard this, he didn't answer immediately, but asked rhetorically: "How much does it cost?" ”

Zhao Liang has always been responsible for the decoration money owed to migrant workers, and Liang Haixing is not familiar with the relevant situation, so he naturally does not know how much money he owes to migrant workers. However, it seems that Hou Jinsheng's question is reasonable: I don't know how much money I owe to migrant workers, how can I pay it from the bureau? Liang Haixing glanced at the petitioning migrant workers not far behind him, and said to Hou Jinsheng: "Yes, how much wages do we owe them?" ”

Hou Jinsheng didn't think about it, and said, "About six or seven hundred thousand, right?" Liang Haixing nodded and said, "Then pay them ten percent first." To Liang Haixing's surprise, as soon as Liang Haixing's words came out, he was immediately opposed by Hou Jinsheng, saying: "So much money? Do you want to ask Director Zhao? ”

Liang Haixing was a little unhappy when he heard this, but he seemed to feel that Hou Jinsheng's words were quite reasonable, and he understood Hou Jinsheng's mood as the director of the office at this time. Not only Hou Jinsheng, but also Liang Haixing, did not have the right to decide to pay so much money to the petitioning migrant workers. If Hou Jinsheng agreed with his opinion, once Zhao Liang returned to the bureau, Hou Jinsheng couldn't speak clearly. Liang Haixing seemed to feel that his opinion was a little presumptuous, so he said, "Isn't Director Zhao unreachable now?" ”

Hou Jinsheng seemed to see Liang Haixing's thoughts, and also felt that what he said just now was a little inappropriate, so he smiled slightly and said, "Director Liang, don't just listen to them, these people are not worthy of pity, in order to get money, they will do anything." I heard from the veteran comrades in the bureau that they agreed to all the requirements and conditions put forward by the bureau in order to get a job, and there was a clear stipulation that they could do their work, but they did not necessarily pay when they would be paid, and when the city would allocate the money before it could be distributed to them. Director Liang, you still pay out of your own pocket to take care of their buns to eat, they are too unkind. Liang Haixing didn't seem to agree with Hou Jinsheng's statement, so he said indifferently: "I am also a rural child, and I understand their feelings very well." Besides, what's wrong with people wanting to get their wages back? On the contrary, we should not prevaricate others with irresponsible excuses for various reasons. If, on the other hand, there are our parents, or our siblings, then would we remain indifferent? The human heart is made of flesh. ”

Suddenly, Liang Haixing seemed to remember something, and as soon as the words fell, he turned around and took out his mobile phone.
