It is precisely because of this that I will not wade into such muddy waters. However, my attitude should still be relatively correct. As Mayor Wen's deputy, I can only put myself in the position of executor at all times.
But I clearly saw that Mayor Wen was very unhappy, but I didn’t think it mattered. After all, my position on this matter was not wrong, and what I said was completely consistent with my identity, even if he didn’t feel right in his heart.
There's nothing I can do about being happy. I'm not a fool, so why would I want to get into his trap?
At this time Jiang Shanan said, "I have an idea. Since this is a key project in the city and an image project of the government, and this project also has great political significance, we cannot let this project go under any circumstances.
If it becomes a half-baked project, otherwise it will be laughed at by the cadres and the masses. According to our previous experience in building key projects, especially when funds are difficult, can we temporarily borrow one month's salary of the city's employees? We will wait until next year's fiscal year
Will you return it to everyone after the situation improves?"
What I didn't expect was that Mayor Yin spoke immediately after he finished speaking, and she was very excited, "I object to this! For people in other systems, maybe a month's salary is nothing.
However, employees in our cultural and health system account for the majority of those who rely on the state's finances. It's okay to work in the city, but we still have so many people working at the lowest level, and they rely on their meager salary every month.
How can we bear to use their wages to support our families?"
Jiang Shanan smiled faintly and said: "This is a key project and an image project of the government. I have made its meaning very clear. As a national cadre, whether it is a teacher, doctor or other staff, you should take care of everyone first and then
This is the minimum consciousness to consider personal matters. Mayor Yin, what do you think? Let me say one thing here, if the city government agrees to my plan today, I will definitely take the lead. I am not borrowing
Instead of giving money to the government, I donated it voluntarily and donated half a year’s salary.”
Mayor Yin said: "Mayor Jiang, I am also willing to donate half a year or even a year's salary, because after I donate my salary, it will not have much impact on my family's life. But those of us at the grassroots level
What about working comrades? Their monthly salary is less than one thousand yuan, and many families rely on this meager income to maintain their lives.
This is not a matter of caring for everyone. I think the most important thing for a human being is survival. If a person has problems with survival, why talk about ideals and doctrines? I often go to the countryside, and every time I see the health
The doctors in the institute and the teachers in the township schools, when I see them living in such poor houses and seeing that there is almost no meat in the vegetables they eat, I want to cry... Under such circumstances,
Do we still have the heart to use their wages?”
Mayor Jiang said angrily: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Mayor Yin said: "How do I know what to do? This project was reluctantly launched. The government had no money, so why did it rush to launch it at that time?"
Mayor Jiang said coldly: "I remember that Mayor Yin seemed to have agreed when we were studying this project, right?"
Mayor Yin immediately said: "Mayor Jiang, you may have remembered it wrong? What did I say when we were studying this issue? I said that as long as the government has money, I have no objection. At that time, you also said money
It’s not a problem, and we will always find a way to solve it. Since you said money is not a problem, and our city originally needs such a conference center, why should I object?”
The two deputy mayors actually got into an argument at the meeting. Although the two people tried to be polite in their words, everyone could feel the smell of gunpowder in them. This was especially true in Mayor Yin's words. Although her words
I haven't said it out loud, but I believe everyone here understands in their hearts - so what you said before about having no problem with funds was your idea? This is simply trying to squeeze oil out of a stone, trying to squeeze out the already clean bones.
Scrape some minced meat off the top?
I admire Mayor Yin very much, because she speaks completely from the actual situation of the department she is in charge of, and she also speaks completely to protect the few remaining interests of grassroots medical staff and teachers. So I feel that I should support
She asked, not for other reasons, just for moral reasons. I said: "I think it is better not to use the employees' wages as much as possible. Our employees working at the grassroots level are really in difficulty. Mayor Wen, let's see if we can deal with the project funds.
Default for a while? Then we will slowly find a solution."
Mayor Jiang immediately said: "How can a government project be in arrears? If such a thing is rumored, it will have a great impact on the government's credit, which will be even more detrimental to our future investment promotion. Mayor Feng, you
This kind of thinking is an irresponsible attitude."
I suddenly felt a little angry: Damn it! What qualifications do you have to teach me like this? I am ranked ahead of you! At this moment, I suddenly understood: This is a sign that he looks down on me from the bottom of his heart.
I said coldly: "Mayor Jiang, this is an executive meeting of the government. Everyone can express their opinions. You proposed to use employees' wages. Is this a responsible attitude? Is the government's face more important?
The survival of the employees below is more important? Of course, this is also an approach. There is no right or wrong. Aren’t everyone putting forward their own ideas with the purpose of solving the problem? Why do we need to go online like this? "
His face suddenly became cloudy and clear, "You are the executive deputy mayor, and you should be the one to solve the funding problems of government investment projects. Although I am the deputy mayor in charge of this project, I am only the executor.
I believe that Mayor Feng has this ability and will definitely solve this problem. Right?"
His words had another meaning: If you don't have the ability, then don't be the executive deputy mayor.
How could I not understand the underlying meaning of his words? I said: "Yes, I am in charge of the city's finances. I have just introduced our city's finances and the basic situation of our books to the leaders. The books
Yes, I have money, but whether I should use it and how much should be used, Mayor Wen has to make the decision. I am the deputy, and this is my duty. Don’t you think so, Mayor Jiang?"
Mayor Wen waved his hand and said: "Okay, you all should stop arguing about this matter. Others, do you have any other good suggestions?"
The other deputy mayors did not speak. Mayor Wen thought for a moment and then said: "Well, let me tell you what I think. First of all, the municipal government conference center project is very important, and it was studied and approved by the municipal government executive meeting.
It was decided at the end, so we must ensure the smooth implementation of the project. Regarding the issue of funds, I think Mayor Jiang’s method can also be considered. We only borrow one month’s salary from the employees. After all, there are not many employees who are in particular difficulty.
They can definitely find a way to find someone else to borrow it for this month.
But we must ensure that we return this money to everyone within this year, and then ask Mayor Feng to find a way to solve the problem of this money as soon as possible. Okay, let’s move on to the next topic.”
Mayor Yin immediately said: "I reserve my own opinion. I think everyone should think about this issue carefully. After all, this project is not a bridge or road construction, nor any other type of public support project, so I am very worried about us doing this."
Doing so will cause resentment and discussion among the people."
Mayor Jiang immediately said: "Since it is something decided by the municipal government's executive meeting, it cannot be changed. The awareness of the people is not that high. This is normal. We don't care about their ideas. Our reform and opening up has just begun.
Aren't there so many people who didn't understand or even strongly opposed it? As long as we persist and withstand the pressure, when the project is completed, the government's image will be improved, the economy will develop in the future, everyone's income will be higher, and the people will also
If you understand our current decision-making, you won’t have any objections anymore.”
Mayor Yin said: "What does the conference center have to do with people's income? Didn't the Red Army still achieve the victory of the revolution by sitting on the grass for meetings under such difficult conditions? The conference center is not a people's livelihood project. I insist on my own
This perspective.”
I turned sideways and asked Mayor Wen in a low voice, "Can we think of a way to deal with this matter before we discuss it?"
But he said coldly: "I am the mayor. Is what has been decided a joke? Our employees are all citizens of the country, and they should unconditionally obey the decisions made by the government."
Originally I asked him in a low voice, but unexpectedly he said it loudly so that everyone present could hear it. I felt embarrassed immediately, and then said: "Okay, I will reserve my own opinion."
The next step is the restructuring of the winery.
The person who came to report the situation was the director of the Economic Commission. At that time, the Municipal Institutions had not yet established the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, so the Economic Commission was in charge of this area of work.
The report of the director of the Economic Commission was very simple. He just said that this matter had already passed the government executive meeting, but now no evaluation agency has entered. Currently, several private enterprises are preparing to bid to purchase this factory. If it continues to be delayed, this matter may
There will be some variables. Not only will the bank loan interest increase, but also because the current security work is very difficult, the longer the delay, the equipment and raw materials in the winery will be in danger of being stolen. So I hope that the Municipal Government Executive
We will make a clearer decision on this matter again today.
Mayor Wen said: "This matter has been approved at the municipal government executive meeting. Later, when Secretary Chen arrived here, he didn't know much about the situation at the beginning, so he temporarily stopped the matter.
Secretary Chen and I have communicated several times on this matter recently, and now he has no other opinions. So there is no need to study this matter again.
There is only one reason why I agree to bring this topic to today's meeting, because recently the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection discovered that the former director of this winery had accepted bribes during the company's restructuring process, so I hope to pass this meeting
Let us all unify our thoughts. When we talk about this matter to the outside world in the future, we must stand at the level of decision-making of the municipal party committee and municipal government, and never say irresponsible things behind our backs. If the original factory director has any problems, it is his personal responsibility.
Do not confuse his personal problems with the reform of the enterprise. This is a matter of principle, and I hope everyone here will pay attention to it."
I didn't expect that he had no intention of discussing this matter, but decided on it directly, which made me feel caught off guard.
At this moment, I couldn't help but think: Since he didn't say that he would study this matter, it means that he didn't want to ask for everyone's opinions, so I don't have any responsibility for this matter. Therefore, I
It's better to remain silent.
But at this time, I didn’t expect Mayor Jiang to speak, “Some people have ulterior motives. Their purpose in investigating the winery is that they are not interested in drinking, and they want to use this to get me. At the same time, they are also targeting Mayor Wen. Very
Obviously, some people just want to eliminate dissidents through this matter. But let me tell you in front of everyone that I, Jiang, have never accepted a bribe from anyone. Regarding the winery, I am completely on the side of the enterprise.
Thinking about the problem from the perspective. Nowadays, so many companies across the country are undergoing restructuring in this way, can’t we do it here? Isn’t this a joke?”
Mayor Wen immediately criticized him and said: "Mayor Jiang, you should pay attention to the way you speak. It is completely normal for the Discipline Inspection Commission to investigate this matter, not to mention that it has indeed been found that there is something wrong with the factory director. This is a fact.
Everyone still doesn’t know what kind of people you and I are? Do you need to express your feelings here? Now that the organization has come to a conclusion on this matter, this completely explains the problem."
At this time, a deputy mayor also spoke, "I still think we should be cautious about the winery. After all, it is a state-owned asset, and it also involves the issue of one or two hundred people being laid off. I am very worried that this matter will cause social instability.
.”
I couldn't help but took over the words, "Yes, I am also very worried about this matter. For state-owned enterprises, I think we should try to adopt other methods, such as through joint-stock reform while continuing to determine their state-owned nature."
Let it be rejuvenated. Haha! I just came to work here, and I was not involved when I studied this matter before, but I also think this matter needs to be carefully considered."
Jiang Shanan suddenly said: "Mayor Feng, I found that although today is your first time to attend the Shangjiang Municipal Government's executive meeting, you seem to be opposing every issue discussed today. I would like to ask you, is this
Why? Are you the only one who is smart in our Shangjiang Municipal People’s Government?”
I have never dealt with this person before, and I have rarely had contact with him since arriving here, but I didn't expect that he seemed to be talking to me everywhere today. It was obvious that his targeting of me represented
It should be Mayor Wen, but the root of the problem is because he knows that I belong to Secretary Chen's faction.
More importantly, he targeted me in this way simply because he despised me and looked down on me from the bottom of his heart. You know, he is a person who has been in officialdom for a long time, and it is very abnormal for him to do this, because people in officialdom often don't
He went to quarrel with his colleagues in person.
At this time, I had to answer his question, and I didn't want to completely break up with him, because I didn't think it was necessary.
Isn’t there a saying that says that? Take a step back and the world will be brighter. What’s more, I seem to understand in my heart: He must have been prepared for what he did today. (To be continued)
