"I am the deputy township head, in charge of civil affairs work, and also serve as the director of the civil affairs office. This is a temporary measure in itself and is against the rules."
"You were also in charge of civil affairs as the deputy township head and also served as the director of the civil affairs office, but you only held the concurrent position for more than a month, right?" Xu Zhidong continued.
"Mr. Xu, since you have invited me to your home today, and you haven't invited anyone else, we might as well say it directly if you have anything to say." Qin Feng had no intention of continuing to play riddles with Xu Zhidong here.
"Okay, then I will say something heartfelt to Secretary Qin today. Secretary Qin, it's not that I don't want to be the director of the Civil Affairs Office, but that I don't dare to be the director anymore." Xu Zhidong put down his cup and said directly.
"Why? So many people are struggling to become this director."
"Bishan is a poor town, and all money is allocated from the top to the bottom. So unlike other towns, Bishan only has one or two wealthy departments. The Civil Affairs Office is ranked first. If it can sit normally
In this position, between the positions of deputy township mayor and director of the Civil Affairs Office, I would rather choose the director of the Electoral Affairs Office, which is why I followed Li Ji closely in the first place."
"But I can't hold on to this position anymore." Xu Zhidong changed the topic and had another drink with Qin Feng.
"Our mayor is a typical second-generation official. He has high ambitions but low ambitions. He is not very capable and has a bad temper. He is also domineering in his work. The most important thing is that he does not follow the rules at all and does not care about the life or death of others."
"Bishan doesn't have much money for him to squander, so he keeps an eye on the little money I have from the Civil Affairs Office. Since I became the director of the Civil Affairs Office, I have gone to Shannan three times to buy food, drink, whore and gamble for him.
"
"Often when I receive a call from him suddenly, I have to run to Shannan with my money to pay for him. If I'm late, I'll scold my mother on the spot. With Xiao Bo's experience, I don't dare to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau for the money that I can't reimburse.
If you take it from the accounts, you can only pay it from yourself."
"I originally thought that if I became the director of the Civil Affairs Office, I would have money and power, so I could make some money, but I didn't find any money. I've already invested almost 50,000 yuan."
"Forget it if that's all. Recently, he and Hu Biao are discussing a lighting project and are preparing to install street lights on all the streets in Bishan."
"I don't know the exact cost of this project. I think it's at least over 500,000 yuan. Where does the money come from? It's 100% based on the Civil Affairs Office's idea."
"Secretary Qin, if he asks my Civil Affairs Office to advance the payment for him after he establishes this project, do you think I should pay it or not? If I do, I think I will not be far from Xiao Bo's fate. He is the township head.
, he is also the son of the county magistrate, if anything happens, the responsibility will never be his, it can only be mine, the scapegoat."
"What if I don't agree? He is a man who must avenge his flaws. He is petty-minded and very vindictive. I have offended him... Haha, I don't have the county party secretary to back me up. My end will not be much better."
"I originally thought that becoming the director of the Civil Affairs Office would be a great blessing, but it turned out to be like this. Both ends are dead ends. The only way for me now is to be the deputy mayor and resign as the director of the Civil Affairs Office. In this way, I am not the director of the Civil Affairs Office.
The person in charge, it’s impossible for him to ask me for money again.” Xu Zhidong expressed his bitterness.
Qin Feng kept turning the wine glass with his hand and asked Xu Zhidong with a smile: "Headmaster Xu should come to Wang Yunfei or Li Ji for this idea, not me."
"Secretary Qin, I can only come to you for this." Xu Zhidong toasted Qin Feng again.
"Everyone knows the current situation in Bishan. Wang Yunfei is just a puppet of Li Ji. Li Ji pushed me to this position. If I go to him, he will not only not agree to my resignation as director of the Civil Affairs Office, but will offend him.
"
"The only one in Bishan who dares to confront Li Ji is you, and your background is no worse than his. Everyone knows this."
"Secretary Qin, I am about to be driven to death by him. Although I am a small person who dare not offend him face to face, I promise that whenever Secretary Qin needs me in the future, I, Xu Zhidong, will be furious." Xu Zhidong quickly expressed his sincerity.
Qin Feng would not be stupid enough to really believe what a person like Xu Zhidong said, and he did not need Xu Zhidong to show his loyalty to him.
Qin Feng took a sip of wine and said nothing.
"Secretary Qin, have you ever thought about it, if the position of the Civil Affairs Office is always controlled by Li Ji, the Civil Affairs Office will have problems sooner or later. It was only more than half a year ago that the last incident happened, and now there are problems again, and Secretary Qin will not be in good shape by then.
Is it right to explain to the county committee? The most important thing is that the people of Bishan are suffering." Xu Zhidong said when Qin Feng was indifferent.
Xu Zhidong figured out Qin Feng's thoughts very accurately.
"So, the only way is to leave the Civil Affairs Office in your hands. Although Lin Xiaoyan has been sent to the village, she is still a member of our Civil Affairs Office. I will call her back to work tomorrow and let her actually preside over it.
I work in the Civil Affairs Office. Li Ji is away from Bishan eight out of ten days. As long as I don’t tell him, he won’t know about these things.”
"I have a stomach problem. It's an old problem. I'm going to take leave in a few days and go to Shannan for hospitalization."
"When Minister Luo came last time, he specifically emphasized democratic centralism and the subordination of the minority to the majority. As long as Secretary Qin mentions this matter at the meeting, it will be finally passed by vote. Wang Yunfei dare not disrespect the voting decision." Xu Zhidong told him in one breath.
All my thoughts were stated.
Qin Feng just clinked glasses with Xu Zhidong and did not give Xu Zhidong a definite answer until the end.
Xu Zhidong only wanted to please Li Ji to climb up the ladder, but in the end he was driven crazy by Li Ji. Now he just wants to throw this hot potato to Qin Feng.
Xu Zhidong is not a villain, but he is definitely not an upright person. His character is more like Xu Guoli. He cannot be said to be too bad, but he is definitely not a good person.
However, although Xu Zhidong's character is poor, his work ability is not bad. At least the Civil Affairs Office has been in his hands for so long that there have been no problems.
He is also a smart man and does not dare to really mess with the Civil Affairs Office's accounts because he knows that Qin Feng has always been keeping an eye on the Civil Affairs Office. In this regard, he is at least much smarter than Xiao Bo.
The next day Xu Zhidong really called Lin Xiaoyan back to work in the Civil Affairs Office.
Working in the village was a part-time job, but Xu Zhidong canceled all Lin Xiaoyan's work at the Civil Affairs Office to suppress Qin Feng, so Lin Xiaoyan could only work full-time in Niujiaoshan Village.
Now Xu Zhidong has called Lin Xiaoyan back and restored all Lin Xiaoyan's previous work. In fact, he made Lin Xiaoyan the deputy director of the Civil Affairs Office and continued to preside over the daily work of the Civil Affairs Office.
After Xu Zhidong called Lin Xiaoyan back, he took sick leave on the grounds of seeing a doctor and was admitted to the County People's Hospital.
Li Ji didn't know about all this. He was still living in Shannan, drinking and drinking, and he and Hu Biao were planning how to get money from the Civil Affairs Office for lighting projects.
