Tang Xiaofei's eyes were swollen from crying last night. When she came to work in the morning, she even put on heavy makeup because she was afraid that others would notice her strangeness.
Just now at Qiao Liang's place, Qiao Liang mentioned what happened yesterday afternoon and was cruel to her, which made Tang Xiaofei feel aggrieved and suddenly changed her face.
Thinking about her relationship with Ma Jun for several years, Tang Xiaofei couldn't stop her tears from flowing down. Their love was still defeated by reality.
Qiao Liang didn't know what happened to Tang Xiaofei. At this moment, after scolding Tang Xiaofei a few words, he felt a lot angry and began to devote himself to work again.
Qiao Liang had just reviewed a few documents when Cai Minghai hurried over. Qiao Liang thought Cai Minghai was here because of Wu Changsheng's case, so he asked Cai Minghai to sit down and asked, "Old Cai, is it because of Wu Changsheng's case?"
"Half yes and half no." Cai Minghai smiled bitterly.
"Huh? How do you say it?" Qiao Liang said.
Cai Minghai said: "Wu Changsheng's case is just like that. Anyway, it is handled under pressure. Vice Mayor Lu called me in the morning, and he hinted at Wu Changsheng's case, but Vice Mayor Lu didn't say it clearly. I
Just pretend you don’t understand, I think Vice Mayor Lu will be very angry.”
"It seems that Wu Jiang personally asked Vice Mayor Lu to come forward." Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows. Lu Ming was the top leader of the municipal bureau, and the other party personally greeted Cai Minghai. One can imagine how much pressure Cai Minghai was under, and it was difficult for Cai Minghai.
"Although there has not yet been a breakthrough in the Huang Hongmei murder case involving Wu Changsheng, there is conclusive evidence that he hit someone to death and escaped. As long as we grasp this, we will have the confidence to handle the case and withstand the pressure from above.
." Cai Minghai said, "Vice Mayor Lu should have understood the facts of the case, so he also knew this and did not dare to ask us to release him too directly. Since he spoke without knowing it, I just pretended to be dumbfounded.
.”
"This can help the case go forward, but for Wu Changsheng's case, I don't know how many people will be offended in the end." Qiao Liang frowned, "Wu Jiang has been the top leader of the State-owned Enterprises Department for many years, and the contacts he has accumulated cannot be ignored."
Cai Minghai said: "Anyway, as long as we handle the case in accordance with the law, we will always be justified. And if we insist on principles, we will definitely offend people. There is no way."
"Well, Wu Changsheng's case must be handled under pressure. He must not be allowed to escape justice this time." Qiao Liang nodded.
The two talked about Wu Changsheng's case, and Qiao Liang asked again, "What was the other half you just talked about?"
Cai Minghai handed a document he was holding to Qiao Liang, "County Magistrate, our county bureau's application for financial support has been rejected."
After Qiao Liang finished speaking, he took the document and read it. It was a document for the county bureau to apply for financial funds. Qiao Liang took a cursory glance and found no problems.
"It was rejected by Deputy County Magistrate Zhang. He didn't sign and just had someone return the document to us," Cai Minghai explained.
Zhang Honghua? Qiao Liang frowned. Zhang Honghua is the executive deputy county magistrate of the county. His usual job is to assist him in the daily work of the county government. He is also in charge of the county government office, finance, development and reform and other related functional departments.
The Finance Bureau is the unit in charge of the other party.
According to the county's financial fund approval process, if it involves the approval of large amounts of funds, it needs to be signed by Zhang Honghua before being sent to him.
Generally speaking, as long as the person in charge of the department signs, Zhang Honghua will not deliberately make things difficult, but Zhang Honghua rejected the county bureau's funding application this time, which is obviously abnormal.
"This chapter... I don't usually see him causing trouble, but he did it at this time. He is just looking for trouble." Qiao Liang murmured to himself.
Cai Minghai nodded and didn't say much. He only needed to report the matter clearly to Qiao Liang. He didn't need to say more about the reasons involved. Qiao Liang would understand better than him.
After a moment of silence, Qiao Liang sneered, "After going around and around, I think the root cause is back to the case of Wu Changsheng. Someone is borrowing funds to get you in trouble. In the final analysis, it is to put pressure on you."
Qiao Liang said as he put the documents on the table, "Lao Cai, put your funding application documents here first. I will take care of this. Don't worry, there will be no problem."
"Okay, I feel relieved with your words." Cai Minghai nodded.
Qiao Liang nodded. He thought of Miao Peilong. Zhang Honghua was transferred from the position of director of the committee. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is Miao Peilong's best confidant. This time, Zhang Honghua made such a small move.
It was Miao Peilong's instruction. It was obvious that Miao Peilong started to make small moves when he failed to exert pressure.
Knocking on the table lightly, Qiao Liang said to Cai Minghai, "Old Cai, you go back first and I'll talk to Deputy County Magistrate Zhang."
"Okay, I'll leave first." Cai Minghai nodded and stood up. Thinking of what happened to Ye Xinyi last night, Cai Minghai hesitated and asked, "County Magistrate, is Secretary Ye okay there?"
"Well, she's fine. She went to work as usual today and is in good spirits." Qiao Liang nodded calmly, looked at Cai Minghai and said, "Lao Cai, she doesn't want to expand the impact of Secretary Ye's matter, do you understand?
"
"Okay." Cai Minghai nodded immediately, knowing what Qiao Liang meant.
With nothing else to do, Cai Minghai left first. Qiao Liang sent Cai Minghai to the door, then waved to his secretary Fu Minghai and said, "Xiao Fu, go and ask Deputy County Magistrate Zhang to come over."
After Qiao Liang finished giving his instructions, he turned and walked back to the office. After waiting for about three or four minutes, Zhang Honghua walked in.
"County Magistrate Qiao, are you looking for me?" Zhang Honghua asked with a smile.
"Deputy County Magistrate Zhang, sit down." Qiao Liang raised his hand and asked Zhang Honghua to sit down.
When Zhang Honghua sat down, Qiao Liang handed the funding application document that Cai Minghai had just sent to Zhang Honghua and asked, "This is the funding application document that Comrade Cai Minghai from the county bureau just brought over. I don't know if Deputy County Magistrate Zhang
Why don’t you sign?”
"County Magistrate Qiao, it's like this. It's almost the end of the year, and the county's finances are not tight. Moreover, the county bureau has specially approved several funds this year, which greatly exceeds the original annual budget. We can't just give them.
Then other departments will have opinions." Zhang Honghua said helplessly.
"Really?" Qiao Liang stared at Zhang Honghua for a few times. He was sure that Zhang Honghua was definitely pretending.
Qiao Liang ignored it and said calmly, "The county bureau is responsible for the social security of the county. The tasks are heavy and the pressure is high. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the county. You just count on the hundreds of police officers in the county bureau to solve the problem.
Is there a security problem for hundreds of thousands of people? I looked at this funding application document and the main expenditure is on the additional expenditure for recruiting auxiliary police officers. Do you think there is a problem?"
"County Magistrate Qiao, I didn't say there was a problem with this. In fact, our county finance has given priority to the county bureau's expenditures. After all, everyone knows the particularity and importance of this department. Their budget is set every year.
They are much higher than other departments, and the county is also satisfied. They have never said that their funds will be blocked. This is a special situation. The finance is relatively tight at the end of the year, so I asked the staff to return the documents.
And I also made it very clear, it’s not that I won’t approve it, I’m asking them to include it in next year’s budget and approve it together later.” Zhang Honghua said with a smile.
"Next year's budget is for next year. Now the county bureau wants to increase the manpower of auxiliary police. There must be a shortage of personnel. This matter cannot be delayed. This fund must be approved first. No matter how tight the county finances are, there will definitely be a squeeze later.
." Qiao Liang said.
Zhang Honghua laughed dryly, but did not respond.
Qiao Liang's eyes darkened, "Why, Deputy County Magistrate Zhang thinks what I said won't work?"
"County Magistrate Qiao, don't get me wrong, I don't mean that, but according to our county's previously revised interim measures for financial fund approval, the approval of funds exceeding 1 million requires Secretary Miao's signature. Even if we sign and agree,
"Are you using Secretary Miao to pressure me?" Qiao Liang's face turned cold.
"County Magistrate Qiao, how dare I? I am really in a dilemma. Secretary Miao just talked to me a few days ago and mentioned the issue of controlling financial expenditures at the end of the year. I am also following Secretary Miao's instructions." Zhang Honghua said.
"So, you only listen to Secretary Miao's instructions and not mine?" Qiao Liang stared at Zhang Honghua faintly.
"County Magistrate Qiao, I definitely didn't mean that." Zhang Honghua sat up straight and said seriously.
"Then tell me if this can be done?" Qiao Liang's eyes were cold, not wanting to talk in circles with Zhang Honghua.
"County Magistrate Qiao, you are really making things difficult for me. The key is that it's useless for me to sign. Why don't you go discuss it with Secretary Miao?" Zhang Honghua glanced at Qiao Liang and said with a smile.
After hearing Zhang Honghua's words, Qiao Liang's face turned completely cold and she stared at Zhang Honghua coldly.
Feeling a little uncomfortable being looked at by Qiao Liang, Zhang Honghua smiled and said, "County Magistrate Qiao, don't look at me like this. I'm doing official business and I definitely don't have any selfish motives."
Hearing Zhang Honghua's words, Qiao Liang curled his lips. He was too lazy to talk nonsense to Zhang Honghua now. The root of the problem lay with Miao Peilong.
Waving his hand, Qiao Liang said, "There's nothing else to do. Deputy County Magistrate Zhang will go and do some work first."
"Okay, then I won't disturb County Magistrate Qiao." Zhang Honghua chuckled.
Standing up, Zhang Honghua came out of Qiao Liang's office. The smile on his face disappeared instantly. Looking back, Zhang Honghua raised the corner of his mouth with a sarcastic look on his face.
