Some faculty and staff are still unsure and can’t believe it: “Then when will the money be given?”
This question is also the question in the minds of other faculty and staff present.
"Yes, can you give me the money now?"
"We won't leave without money!"
What they are most worried about is that the county government has deceived them and will not admit it tomorrow.
Have they encountered this kind of situation rarely in the past few years? The teacher went to the school leader, and the school leader asked his subordinates to persuade them to leave, saying it would be quick, it would be quick, but tomorrow it would not be the same; they went to town,
The town will postpone today to tomorrow, and tomorrow to next month. Over the years, how much time and energy have they wasted, and how many times have their feelings been hurt, in order to recover wages and subsidies?
It was not easy for so many people to gather together today. If they were deceived and dispersed, it would be difficult to gather so many people together next time.
Seeing that everyone was getting excited again, County Magistrate Jin said loudly: "Please rest assured, since we have promised, we will definitely do it. Please believe in the county committee and the county government."
Someone shouted loudly: "If you believe it, we won't come to the sit-in and go on a hunger strike. It's useless to say such things to us, we want to see money!"
"Yes, we won't leave without money!"
"Stop fooling us."
When Xiao Zheng saw this situation, he knew that it would be impossible to unilaterally ask the faculty and staff to trust the county and disperse them all.
With so many people and so much money, it is impossible to start cashing out now! Such a large amount of money can only be issued by punching a bank card, and the bank has long been closed, and the only way to start processing it is tomorrow morning.
With so many people gathered in this small square, spending the night is always a problem. The young and strong should be able to survive, but the old and infirm may not.
Now that things have reached this point and the county party committee and county government are determined to fulfill their promises, there is no need for accidental damage.
Xiao Zheng said to County Magistrate Jin Quansheng: "County Magistrate Jin, I want to discuss this with you."
Jin Quansheng covered the microphone, nodded and said: "Secretary Xiao, please tell me."
Xiao Zheng said to Ren Yongle again: "Call the Finance Director."
Ren Yongle went immediately, and soon Jiao Xinrong arrived with a few strands of messy hair on his forehead.
Xiao Zheng gathered them over and said: "Today's situation, in order to gain the trust of faculty and staff, we must have a correct attitude and work in a down-to-earth manner. I now hope that our county finance department can summon accounting personnel from relevant towns and schools to the scene.
I worked overtime here overnight to check all the wages and subsidies owed to each faculty member, and asked each faculty member to sign for confirmation. The work was all ready and will be paid as soon as the bank opens tomorrow. What do you mean?
how?"
Jiao Xinrong, director of the County Finance Bureau, had a look of embarrassment on his face, "Are you working overtime all night? Isn't it a bit difficult to get all the finance and accounting personnel from the township and school to come here?"
The county's "God of Wealth" Jiao Xinrong has never done this kind of thing, and it is rare for the financial accountant below to work overtime overnight.
At this time, the county magistrate Jin Quansheng suddenly said: "Director Jiao, you have to make it clear that this is not a discussion with you. I am listening to your suggestions. This is a task assigned to you by Secretary Xiao! If you can't do it, I can ask someone else to do it.
manage!"
Jiao Xinrong suddenly felt a huge pressure and said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, Secretary Xiao, County Magistrate Jin, I don't know them well. I will notify all the staff of the County Finance Bureau to work overtime, and the township and school accounting personnel below will also work overtime.
We will go all out to pay back wages and subsidies!"
"Okay." Xiao Zheng was not satisfied with Jiao Xinrong's initial performance, but since Magistrate Jin's training had worked, Xiao Zheng did not have the same experience as him at this time. The key was to do a good job in the current task, so he
Said: "You hurry up and do it. County Magistrate Jin, I will say a few words to everyone."
Jiao Xinrong was so upset that he even walked around to catch up and implement it. Jin Quansheng picked up the loudspeaker again and loudly said to everyone in the small square: "Dear teachers, just now Secretary Xiao came to discuss with us again and made it clear again.
We need to solve everyone's problems. Now, we invite Secretary Xiao to speak to us. Everyone is welcome."
Jin Quansheng was the first to applaud, and the leaders next to him also applauded. This was to give Xiao Zheng face, and it was also everyone's habit. However, the following faculty and staff were different. Except for a few principals who applauded very sparsely, other faculty and staff
No one applauded the workers. Teachers were either shy or aloof, and they did not accept this from the bottom of their hearts.
Xiao Zheng didn't care about this and started speaking into the loudspeaker: "Comrades, faculty and staff, hello everyone! I am Xiao Zheng, the current secretary of the Baoyuan County Party Committee. Just now, County Magistrate Jin has promised that on this day,
Within the government, we will completely solve everyone's problems and pay all the money owed to everyone. But everyone has also said that you may not believe us. This is not your fault, but it is our county committee and county government who did not blame us.
Everyone took good care of us, so that no one could believe us.
Therefore, what we have to do now is not to blame, but to reflect; not to make promises, but to do things. For this reason, we have just discussed it. We have to work overtime overnight to check the wages and subsidies owed to every faculty member.
Clearly, when the bank goes to work tomorrow morning, all the funds will be allocated to the villages and towns and distributed in place. From now on, our county leaders will start to schedule shifts, take turns to work here on site, and accept everyone's supervision.
However, I have a suggestion here. You can also work in shifts. The elderly, those who are unwell, and those with children can check the information first and then go home and come back early tomorrow morning. As the secretary of the county party committee, I will stay here around the clock.
I won’t leave until the problem is solved! That’s all I’m saying! Thank you everyone.”
After Xiao Zheng finished speaking, he put down the loudspeaker and sat down on the stone bricks in the square. Jin Quansheng, Na Junying, Hong Wenming and other leaders also sat down one after another, as if they were standing with everyone for a long time.
Xiao Zheng guessed that no one applauded when he started speaking, and no one would applaud now. However, unexpectedly, within a few seconds of Xiao Zheng sitting down, someone among the faculty and staff stood up.
, started to applaud. Then, another group of people stood up and started to applaud. Jin Quansheng, Na Junying and others looked at each other and were surprised.
Afterwards, most of the people in the small square stood up and began to applaud. Perhaps it was because Xiao Zheng's determination to "I will not leave until everyone's problems are solved" moved everyone, or maybe the county leaders sat down like everyone else.
On the stone floor, everyone couldn't help but be moved. In this society, how many county party secretaries, county magistrates and county leaders can do this?
When Xiao Zheng saw everyone applauding, he stood up again. He picked up the loudspeaker again and said, "Thank you, thank you." More people applauded below, and the applause became more enthusiastic.
Xiao Zheng suddenly said: "By the way, I'm a little hungry. I rushed back from the river and I haven't eaten yet. Are there any lunch boxes here?"
Xiao Zheng's sudden words made the people below stunned, and everyone couldn't help laughing. The staff next to them immediately said: "Yes, yes, but it's not too hot."
Xiao Zheng said: "It's okay, make me some boiling water." The staff did not dare to give Xiao Zheng a meal soaked in boiling water, but Ren Yongle went over and took a lunch box, soaked it in some boiling water, and handed it to Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng said to everyone: "People are like iron, and food is like steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will be hungry. Let's do things quickly and eat food quickly."
After saying that, Xiao Zheng threw away the loudspeaker, squatted down, took a pair of disposable chopsticks, and started to put rice into his mouth, eating with gusto. He wasn't pretending, he was really hungry.
In this lunch box, there are braised potatoes, chicken nuggets, kelp, and peppers. When soaked in boiling water, the various flavors are mixed together, giving it a rich flavor.
Xiao Zheng took the lead in eating, and the county leaders next to him also followed suit. They were too busy before and had no time to eat, but now their appetite has increased, so they also squatted down to eat together.
The scene of a group of county leaders squatting down to eat is probably something you can't find anywhere in the country. Although the appearance is not impressive, the faculty and staff below suddenly felt that these people were no different from us. They were not superior, but a little funny.
, somewhat amiable, and their trust in them has also increased significantly.
There are a few teachers at the front. Although they are on a hunger strike, they are already hungry. Just now, the county party secretary and the county magistrate have promised to distribute the money within one day and check the arrears for everyone overnight. The county party secretary Xiao Zheng updated
It is a statement that "he will not leave until the problem is solved." In this case, is a hunger strike still necessary? Is a hunger strike still meaningful?
Looking again, someone was moving simple tables and chairs to the side of the small square. People from the county finance bureau began to direct people from the town and schools to help check the arrears. This matter is really going to be implemented! At this time,
What should I do if I starve myself or faint from hunger, and I can’t check the debt later? Or if I get stomach trouble in the future, I have to spend money to treat it!
A teacher in front shouted: "Add some hot water to me too!" A staff member immediately ran forward and added some hot water, and the teacher moved his chopsticks, picked up vegetables and rice in his mouth.
"Add some water to me too!" Another person shouted. Another staff member ran up to help pour water.
"Fortunately, my lunch box is still warm as I hid it under my coat!" someone said, took out the lunch box and wolfed it down!
"I want to add some water!"
"My disposable chopsticks are broken! Can you give me another pair?"
"Wait a moment, come right away!"
"Thank you, thank you!"
For a time, almost everyone in the square began to squat or sit to eat.
Staff walked through the area, pouring hot water for everyone, or collecting lunch boxes for recycling.
The atmosphere in the square changed instantly.
From confrontation to full of fireworks, but also full of warmth and understanding...
In Xihaitou City, Deputy Secretary Sun Xuzhi had received a call from Deputy County Magistrate Wei Mingkang, saying that all six hired evil forces had been arrested. Sun Xuzhi was a little panicked at this time.
