Xiao Zheng hurriedly helped Xu Fangfei up from the ground and asked: "Are you okay?" Xu Fangfei straightened her wrinkled black skirt and said with a smile: "I'm fine. By the way, I guess you treat Gao Shengxue to dinner.
, are you asking for something from him?"
Xiao Zheng looked at Xu Fangfei and said, "Yes, it's about a loan for the town." Xu Fangfei said, "Has it been negotiated now?" This is a secret involving the town and the Municipal Rural Cooperative Bank. Xiao Zheng
You can't tell others casually.
Xu Fangfei said: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to pry, I just want to help. My little sister Mei Zi has a special relationship with Gao Shengxue, she might be able to help." Xiao Zheng asked in surprise: "This
Can she be able to talk about all kinds of things?" Xu Fangfei said: "She can really talk. However, I know that Gao Shengxue charges a certain fee for helping to get the loan. If Meizi comes forward, the fee can be halved.
."
"What? Charge?" This was beyond Xiao Zheng's expectation. "How much does he charge?" Xu Fangfei said: "I don't know the specific amount. I am not involved in their affairs. I just listen.
It’s just Meizi talking about it.”
It seems that this woman Meizi might be Gao Shengxue's lover.
But Gao Shengxue actually told Mei Zi such a thing, which also shows that Gao Shengxue is very irrational. If it is a government loan, Gao Shengxue will have to collect money. Xiao Zheng really doesn't want to deal with such a person, because it may cause trouble later.
But now the town is in great need of money, and Xiao Zheng cannot immediately cut off contact with Gao Shengxue. Xiao Zheng said: "Let's talk to Mr. Gao ourselves first."
Xu Fangfei nodded and said: "That's okay. Of course, it's best if you can negotiate it yourself. But if you really need my help, tell me at any time. Xiao Zheng, I'm really happy to meet you today.
Happy." Xiao Zheng nodded: "Thank you."
"Can you hug me?" Xu Fangfei looked at Xiao Zheng and said, "I have no other requirements. As long as I can see you from time to time, you can hug me." Xiao Zheng looked at Xu Fangfei, then looked at
There was no one else on the stairs leading to the rooftop.
Xu Fangfei, the girl who left an imprint on Xiao Zheng's heart when she was in elementary school, has now grown up and has a beautiful appearance. He can have it at his fingertips. But Xiao Zheng still said: "Fangfei, I already have a girlfriend, and she will be there in May next year."
We're getting married. So... let's go back to the box now." Xiao Zheng walked down the stairs.
Xu Fangfei looked at Xiao Zheng's back and followed him down after a while.
Back in the box, Gao Shengxue and Mei Zi were still singing. Gao Shengxue saw Xiao Zheng and Xu Fangfei going back in. He smiled into the microphone and said, "We, Mayor Xiao and Fangfei, just renewed their friendship as classmates?" Guan Wenwei's
Their eyes also turned towards Xiao Zheng, and Tao Fang also smiled at Xiao Zheng scrutinizingly.
Xiao Zheng smiled uninterestedly and sat down on the sofa. Xu Fangfei walked over to Meizi and sat down.
Xiao Zheng approached Guan Wenwei and asked, "Guan Wenwei, have you talked to Mr. Gao about the loan?" The singing voice in the box was very loud, and the words could not be heard clearly, so Guan Wenwei came closer.
Xiao Zheng said in his ear: "I talked to Mr. Gao when you left. He said that he would come to my car to talk after the singing."
Why does it have to be discussed in Guan Wenwei's car for such a simple matter?
Xiao Zheng remembered Xu Fangfei's words that Gao Shengxue had to collect money to help people get loans. However, he did not tell Guan Wenwei about this.
Finally, it was past midnight when Gao Shengxue and Mei Zi had finished singing. Guan Wenwei and Gao Shengxue went down first, asking Xiao Zheng and the others to wait in the box for a while, and then asked them to go down after they had finished talking.
It didn't take long, only about ten minutes, before Guan Wenwei called Xiao Zheng. Then they went down.
Mei Zi and Xu Fangfei left in Gao Shengxue's car. Xiao Zheng and Tao Fang got into Guan Wenwei's car. The car started and returned to An County overnight.
"Secretary, how was the discussion?" Xiao Zheng was eager to know the result. Guan Wenwei said: "Gao Shengxue was very straightforward. He said that based on the situation in our town and after investigation by the bank's review department, it is
They don’t meet the loan conditions. But Gao Shengxue said that he can help solve this problem, but he has to pay part of the service fee.”
"Service fee?" Xiao Zheng repeated, "How much?" Guan Wenwei said: "If we loan 2 million, he will get 5% of the service fee, which is 100,000." Xiao Zheng said: "
Stealing money!" Tao Fang kept listening and said nothing.
Guan Wenwei said: "The problem is that our town really needs money now." Xiao Zheng said: "But this is tantamount to bribery, and there will be problems. When the time comes, it will not only be a matter for him, Gao Shengxue, but also for me and Guan Shu.
I’m afraid I’ll get into trouble too.”
Guan Wenwei said: "I understand, too. But Gao Shengxue made such a condition. If you don't satisfy him, he won't give you a loan. He also said that he did it for the sake of old friends. Others
He doesn't help with the operation at all. Of course, as far as I know, many towns and villages that cannot make ends meet borrow money from banks in this way."
Since Gao Shengxue dared to make such a request, it means that other units must have been doing this. But Xiao Zheng still didn't want to take the risk, so he said: "Secretary, we can't do this." Guan Wenwei said:
"Mayor Xiao, of course I hope not to do it. But we have to pay wages next. What will happen if your wages are not paid in full?"
Xiao Zheng was silent for a moment and said: "Mayor Guan, I have an idea. The salary for the next month is still more than 100,000 yuan short. Can our team members pay the debt first? Maybe we can attract projects next month
Come in, or find another bank willing to lend us a loan, and we will issue it immediately."
Guan Wenwei also fell silent, and after a while he said: "If we don't get a loan from the Municipal Rural Cooperative Bank, I'm afraid this is the only way we can do it." Tao Fang said at this time: "Mayor Xiao, although I am not a member of the team, but the next one is
I don’t have to take my monthly salary.” Xiao Zheng said to Tao Fang in the passenger seat: “Tao Fang, thank you for supporting my work.”
This trip to Jingzhou returned without success again.
Xiao Zheng did not give up contacting other banks. He also asked other team members to introduce him to him if they had bank connections. But no big bank was willing to provide loans to Tianhuang Town, and they were not optimistic about what Tianhuang Town was doing now.
"Beautiful Rural Construction" is worried about when the money will be recovered after it is loaned to Tianhuang Town.
It's almost the beginning of the month, and it's time to pay wages. According to the town party committee and the government's decision, the wages of team members and some middle-level cadres will not be paid until the next step is to receive bank loans or attract projects.
Tao Fang volunteered, but some team members didn't think so. They thought, since we are team members, why are our salaries not paid, but those of ordinary cadres? As a leader, shouldn't we get it first? They superficially think
I don’t say it, but I have big thoughts in my heart, and I express my dissatisfaction privately.
Xiao Zheng went to work earlier than usual that day. When he was walking up the stairs, he heard someone chatting in the water room. "Mayor Xiao really doesn't know how to do it. He can't do economic work. Now the rations of our team members have been reduced."
No." "When Song Guoming was here, even if the mayor couldn't get the money, Song Guoming could get it, and there had never been such a situation of being owed wages." "Yes, although Song Guoming was
If you are greedy and still collect money, you may be very powerful. You are a good hand at making money." "So, if you are not afraid of the leader being corrupt, you are afraid of the leader being incompetent! Mayor Xiao is still too young after all." "Keep your voice down.
Don't let Mayor Xiao hear it later." "So what if I hear it? He is right in front of me, so I still say that."
Xiao Zheng didn't have the same experience as them. He didn't stop and returned to his office. In the office, Xiao Zheng smoked a cigarette and looked at the old tea tree on the mountain behind.
In the following days, in addition to daily work, Xiao Zheng has been thinking of ways, but there has been no progress. The town originally planned to arrange village cadres to study and inspect other places to learn more experiences and stimulate development ideas, but because of the money in the pocket,
Being shy, I had to postpone it. When I could go was also unknown.
Jian Xiushui and Li Li from Baishuiwan Village went rafting on Nanxi River at their own expense. After seeing other people's successful experiences, they came back full of confidence and felt that this matter could be done. However, they also lacked funds. Jian Xiushui wanted to use his own hotel.
She made a mortgage and borrowed a sum of money from the bank. But the bank also thought that Jian Xiushui was just a private boss and refused to lend her the money.
Jian Xiushui came to Xiao Zheng once, hoping that Mayor Xiao could help her think of a solution. Xiao Zheng also told her about the town's failed borrowing, and Jian Xiushui knew Xiao Zheng's difficulties, so she had to put the matter aside for the time being.
Shelved.
Xiao Zheng suddenly felt that the town's undertakings seemed to have stalled, and there was no way to move forward. In the first month after the assessment method of last place elimination was introduced, An County ranked last in the city's assessment, and Tianhuang Town ranked last in the county.
The assessment ranking here is also at the bottom.
Nearly two months have passed since "Jiangzhong Daily" and Jiangzhong TV Station came to publicize the report, but the provincial leaders have not given any further instructions, let alone arrangements for investigation. It seems that this matter no longer receives the attention of the leaders.
The provincial media's publicity interest naturally faded, and the outside world's attention to Tianhuang Town also dropped.
The more anxious you are, the faster time passes. The assessment results for the second month have also come out. An County continues to be ranked last in the city, and Tianhuang Town is also ranked last in the county.
Near the end of the third month, Secretary Tan of the Municipal Party Committee suddenly came to An County for investigation, and top leaders from the relevant towns also participated. Secretary Tan said at the meeting: "The city has introduced the last elimination assessment method
, this is not a joke, the city must implement it in accordance with the system. An County must be mentally prepared for this."
County Party Secretary Xiao Jingyu looked very unhappy. County Director Fang also said: "We also hope that the city can strictly implement the final assessment method, and our county will also strictly implement the assessment system that has been introduced." Fang
He also cast his eyes on Guan Wenwei, the secretary of Tianhuang Town.
Guan Wenwei felt a chill and thought to himself, could it be that his position as secretary of the party committee has come to an end?
In the town, Xiao Zheng was also at a loss.
He accidentally looked through the text messages and found a message from two days ago that he had not read:
"Mayor Xiao, I am An Ruyi. My family has a company in Nanhai. We want to come to Tianhuang Town to invest in a project. We plan to contract out Lushui Village and build it into a garden-style hotel and entertainment project. When are we free, I and I
