In the 1990s, rural areas still had to pay a certain amount of grain tax every year. There were about 20 villages in Gaohe Township. The grain tax collected every year was a large amount of revenue, and it was also the main source of revenue for Gaohe Township's finances.
Niu Zhigang was stunned for a moment: "Hasn't this year's grain tax been collected?"
Tian Cuiying curled her lips: "I mean to collect next year's grain tax in advance."
"This...isn't this appropriate..." Niu Zhigang frowned.
"Special circumstances are treated with special treatment. Now we have no other way to repay the loan in the short term except collecting next year's grain tax in advance." Tian Cuiying said.
"No." Niu Zhigang shook his head: "According to the express provisions, food taxes cannot be collected in advance...and...even if we do collect it in advance, the village party secretaries and village chiefs will have objections."
"You are the party committee secretary. Those village party secretaries and village chiefs would not dare to challenge you." Tian Cuiying said.
"But..." Niu Zhigang wanted to say something else.
"Secretary Niu, why are you hesitating? Don't you want to repay the credit union loan?" Tian Cuiying asked anxiously.
Niu Zhigang frowned: "The loan from the credit union must be repaid, but about collecting taxes in advance... I still need to think about it carefully."
"What else is there to consider? Let's get over the current difficulty first. As for the future, let's talk about it when the time comes." Tian Cuiying advised.
"Stop talking, let me think about it carefully." Niu Zhigang waved his hand.
"Secretary Niu... time waits for no one..." Before Tian Cuiying could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Niu Zhigang's hand.
"Okay, stop talking. Let me be alone for a while. You can go back first." Niu Zhigang reached out and pressed his sore temples, rubbing them gently.
Tian Cuiying opened her mouth, and just when she was about to say something else, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Come in." Niu Zhigang said casually.
"squeak."
The office door was gently pushed open, and Ma Xiaoyao strode in: "Secretary Niu, I have something to talk to you about...Hey, Director Tian is here too."
"Oh, I'm also here to talk to Secretary Niu about something." Tian Cuiying said calmly.
"Chief Ma, what do you want from me?" Niu Zhigang asked doubtfully.
Ma Xiaoyao did not answer Niu Zhigang's words, but turned to look at Tian Cuiying: "Director Tian, please go out first. I want to talk to Secretary Niu alone."
Tian Cuiying frowned: "Why are you so embarrassed? You have to ask me to go out!"
Ma Xiaoyao's face sank: "Director Tian, please pay attention to your words..."
"What's wrong with my words? Isn't what I said true?" Tian Cuiying was not polite to Ma Xiaoyao at all: "Secretary Niu didn't even let me out, why did you let me out?"
"Okay, Director Tian, if you have nothing to do, go back first." Niu Zhigang said with a frown.
Tian Cuiying could ignore Ma Xiaoyao's words, but as soon as Niu Zhi spoke, Tian Cuiying had to listen. She snorted at Ma Xiaoyao, and Tian Cuiying raised her feet and left the office.
Looking at Tian Cuiying's leaving figure, Ma Xiaoyao's eyes flashed with a stern look. This Tian Cuiying did not take him seriously at all. He must find a chance to take care of her.
"Mr. Ma, there are only two of us here now. If you have any questions, just tell us." Niu Zhigang said calmly.
"It's like this. I'm here today to talk to you about the turf." Without waiting for Niu Zhigang's greeting, Ma Xiaoyao came over and sat on the chair automatically.
Niu Zhigang raised his eyebrows and looked directly at Ma Xiaoyao: "You came to see my joke, right?"
Ma Xiaoyao smiled and waved his hand: "Secretary Niu, don't get me wrong. I didn't come here to laugh at you. I just wanted to talk to you about selling turf."
"Selling turf?" Niu Zhigang's eyes suddenly widened: "Do you have a way to sell the turf of more than 100 acres of land?"
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Yes."
"Have you found a buyer?" Niu Zhigang's voice was trembling.
"Yes, I have found a buyer." Ma Xiaoyao smiled.
"Who is the buyer?" Niu Zhigang asked.
"This... you don't need to know. In short, the buyer I found is very reliable and can buy all the turf in one go." Ma Xiaoyao said: "Secretary Niu, I have done you such a big favor, you should
How can you thank me?"
"Ah...I..." Niu Zhigang opened his mouth: "This... let's talk to Mayor Ma. How do you want me to thank you? As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you."
Ma Xiaoyao smiled slightly: "Then I'm sorry, Secretary Niu, I want to remove Tian Cuiying and replace her with someone else as the director of the finance office."
"Ah?" Niu Zhigang was stunned for a moment: "Chief Ma, you...you are not kidding me..."
"Do you think I'm joking like this?" Ma Xiaoyao pouted: "Secretary Niu, you also saw Tian Cuiying's attitude towards me just now, how arrogant it was? I am also the mayor of the township, right? She, Tian Cuiying, is just
I am just a small finance director, but he dares to look down on me in public? He is simply unorganized and undisciplined!"
"Chief Ma, what Tian Cuiying did was wrong. I will definitely criticize her and educate her later...and please Mayor Ma not to be as knowledgeable as her..." Niu Zhigang said hurriedly.
Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "Secretary Niu, you don't have to intercede for her, and I won't hide it from you anymore. I have very strong objections to Tian Cuiying. I have to remove her and replace her with someone else as the director of the finance office.
."
"Chang Ma, please give Tian Cuiying another chance. I guarantee that she will never dare to look down on you again..." Tian Cuiying is Niu Zhigang's best friend, and she is also his mistress. Of course Niu Zhigang wants to protect Tian Cuiying.
"I have given Tian Cuiying many opportunities, but she has never corrected herself... I have completely given up on her." No matter how Niu Zhigang interceded, Ma Xiaoyao insisted on removing Tian Cuiying.
Niu Zhigang took a deep breath: "Chief Ma, is there really no room for negotiation?"
"No." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "Tian Cuiying must be dismissed."
Niu Zhigang was silent for a moment and asked: "If I don't agree, will you just ignore the matter of selling turf?"
Ma Xiaoyao chirped: "I always look at my mood when doing things. If I am in a good mood, I feel happy doing things. If I am in a bad mood, I have no energy in doing things..." Although Ma Xiaoyao did not say it clearly, the hidden meaning in his words has already shown itself.
If you want Ma Xiaoyao to help sell the turf on the more than 100 acres of land, you must remove Tian Cuiying from the position of director of the finance office. Otherwise, Ma Xiaoyao will no longer help Manman sell the turf.
threaten!
This is obviously a threat!
Niu Zhigang's face became extremely ugly. Once upon a time, Niu Zhigang was so powerful and prestigious in Gaohe Township. No one in Gaohe Township dared to offend Niu Zhigang. But since Ma Xiaoyao came, Niu Zhigang has been unlucky. In the beginning,
His prestige has been reduced, he is now burdened with debts, and then he is forced by Ma Xiaoyao to remove Tian Cuiying from his position... This series of recent events has made Niu Zhigang extremely depressed and mentally haggard.
Seeing Niu Zhigang's sullen face and saying nothing, Ma Xiaoyao immediately smiled and said: "It seems that Secretary Niu can't make a decision at the moment, so let's do this, I'll go back first, and then call me after Secretary Niu has thought about it.
"After saying that, Ma Xiaoyao stood up and left.
"Huh..." Niu Zhigang tilted his head back, leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and let out a soft breath: "What should I do?"
…
It's time to get off work in the evening.
Ma Xiaoyao tidied up, got up and walked out of the office.
"Mr. Ma, are you free tonight?" Kong Liang came over from the side.
"Are you free? What's wrong?" Ma Xiaoyao asked doubtfully.
"Oh, that's right, Director Chen wants to treat you to a meal..." Kong Liang said with a smile.
"Invite me to dinner?" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "You're so good, why do you invite me to dinner?"
"This... there is no special reason. I just want to thank you for taking care of her during these days..." Kong Liang explained: "Mr. Ma, just agree. I made a guarantee in front of Director Chen, saying
You must agree tonight."
Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "Okay, I agree."
"That's great." Kong Liang's face suddenly lit up when he heard Ma Xiaoyao agreed.
…
In a clean and spacious private room.
Ma Xiaoyao, Kong Liang and Chen Shuirou sat around the dinner table, eating and drinking, talking and laughing.
The dishes on the dinner table are all ordinary home-cooked dishes, and the wine is the cheapest beer.
"Mr. Ma, let me toast you. Thank you for taking care of me during this time." Chen Shuirou picked up the wine glass and said.
Ma Xiaoyao picked up the wine glass and touched it lightly with Chen Shuirou. He tilted his head and poured the whole glass of beer into his mouth. The refreshing feeling instantly filled his entire mouth, making Ma Xiaoyao feel extremely comfortable.
Chen Shuirou didn't show any pretense, and she also drained her glass of beer in one gulp.
Kong Liang hurriedly picked up the wine bottle and helped Ma Xiaoyao and Chen Shuirou fill their glasses.
"It's so happy, I haven't been this happy for a long time." Ma Xiaoyao wiped his mouth and laughed.
Beer has a low alcohol content and tastes refreshing. The most important thing is that it is cheap, so both rich and poor people can afford it.
"Director Chen, when are you and Kong Liang going to get married?" Ma Xiaoyao suddenly laughed.
"Ah?" Chen Shuirou never thought that Ma Xiaoyao would ask this question, and her face suddenly turned red: "I...I haven't decided whether to marry Kong Liang..."
Kong Liang was unhappy when he heard this: "If you don't marry me, who else can you marry?"
"I don't like hearing what you are saying. Don't I, Chen Shuirou, want any other man except you in this life?" Chen Shuirou rolled her eyes at Kong Liang.
"No...you swore you wouldn't marry me last night...why did you change your mind today..." Kong Liang said anxiously.
"Oh, what are you talking about?" Chen Shuirou's face turned even redder.
