When I got up early the next morning, I found a text message on my phone. This text message was sent by Governor He: Go find Director Sun. His phone number is... I have already told him.
alright.
In fact, there is still a kind of sadness in my heart, because I think this is an exchange, and this exchange makes me feel ashamed and helpless. At the same time, I also regret the phone call I made to her yesterday - so
Just pay for the matter, it's official business anyway.
But I like to take shortcuts too much, and this is something I did myself.
I called my secretary Xiao Xu and asked him to come to the provincial capital immediately and bring photos. Of course he knew how to notify my driver.
Although Governor He has already informed the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, we should still explain the matter clearly to them. These are separate matters.
The director of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau warmly received us. I explained my purpose of visit and also told him about the historical origins of the temple.
Director Sun nodded and said: "It seems that this site is indeed very important and may also have archaeological value. However, our Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau currently has too few manpower. Recently, ancient tombs have been discovered during construction in several places across the province.
So our manpower is really tight. And archaeological excavations like this take time, and equipment transportation is also a lot of money..."
I immediately understood that what he was talking about was actually about money. I said: "Governor He is also very concerned about this matter of ours, and since you also think that this ancient site is of great archaeological value, I have to ask you to arrange it in any way."
Manpower must be excavated as soon as possible. The place has been destroyed so far. Although we have arranged for manpower to be on duty there, it cannot continue like this? You think so?"
He said: "Of course we have to listen to Governor He's greetings, but we also have our own practical difficulties. Mayor Feng, please understand."
Originally, I wanted to suppress him in the name of Governor He, but I didn't expect that he still wouldn't let go. I immediately understood that it might not work if I didn't spend money. So I asked: "Like this
How much does it generally cost to conduct archaeological excavations for various projects?”
He said: "Since it was Governor He who said hello, we will charge a small cost. One hundred thousand yuan, maybe."
I thought to myself that the cost was not much, so I said: "Okay. We will pay for the 100,000 yuan. But I hope Director Sun can send someone out immediately."
Director Sun smiled and said, "Well, I'll send someone there right away after you pay the fee. But you still have to be responsible for the on-site protection work."
I smiled bitterly in my heart: Money is sometimes too important. I said, "I will go to your finance department to make payment right away."
After leaving his office, I called Mayor Liu first and told him the requirements of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau. But what I didn't expect was that he immediately criticized me, "One hundred thousand yuan? How can you ask for that?
How much? No, this is not possible."
I immediately became anxious, "One hundred thousand yuan is not much for such a thing, and we don't need to invest in future reconstruction work. Besides, I also agreed to it."
He said coldly: "Since you have agreed to this, why are you still calling me?"
I suddenly became angry, "You are the mayor, I should report this matter to you, right? Secretary Chen also said that this project must be focused on, and the money for road construction in the future must also be invested by the city. Me too
Considering that the other party only wants 100,000 yuan, such a request is not too much. And this is only a discount given by Governor He after he said hello."
He said calmly: "Then it's up to you."
I thought he would change his words after talking to this extent, but I didn't expect that he would still have this attitude. I felt even more unhappy, "Forget it. The government won't pay for this money. Then I will start from donations."
I’ll consider it inside. Now I’ll pay it privately.”
Then I ignored him and hung up the phone immediately.
I was very depressed. No matter what, I am the executive deputy mayor, but I can’t make the final decision on a matter worth only 100,000 yuan. What’s more, it’s not my personal matter!
Immediately I went to the Finance Department of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau to transfer 100,000 yuan using my card, and asked them to issue an invoice. Then I went to Director Sun’s office, and he said to me with a smile: "This afternoon
Our people will be on the scene. Please send someone to assist."
After contacting the moving company and paying the fee, I returned to Shangjiang City.
On the way back, I called Minister Wu, "The Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau will send people to the scene this afternoon. Please arrange a few people to assist them. They asked for a fee of 100,000 yuan, and now I have personally advanced the money."
.Mayor Liu does not agree with the government paying this money, so it will be paid from donations when the time comes."
He sighed and said: "What's wrong with Lao Liu? Isn't it just one hundred thousand yuan? How big a deal is it? Forget it, just do as you say."
I handed the invoice to Xiao Xu and asked him to keep it properly. "You must remember to take out the money and return it to me at any time after the donation is received in the future."
In fact, I don't care about the money. I can just donate the 100,000 yuan. But the crux of the problem is not here. As the executive deputy mayor, donating such a large amount to such a project will cause criticism from others. I
I also know that Mayor Liu is not opposed to government funding because of the 100,000 yuan thing. I feel that he is just out of temper and even deliberately trying to make things difficult for me.
There is no way around this. Who put me between him and Secretary Chen?
After returning to Shangjiang City, I went to Secretary Liu's office and said to him: "I have negotiated with Director Chen of the United Front Work Department. This money will be paid from future donations."
A faint smile appeared on his face, "Isn't this better? The government's finances are already tight, and a lot of things can be done with one hundred thousand yuan."
Now I realize that the problem actually lies with me: this matter should have been dealt with from the future donations from the beginning. In this case, he would have nothing to say. However, no matter what method it is, I have to report it to him.
He can only report it. This is the helplessness of being a deputy.
And under such circumstances, I had to admit that I didn't think carefully about it. I said: "I didn't think carefully about this matter."
He smiled and said: "It's okay, just pay attention from now on."
It would be a lie to say that I am not depressed, and I really want to stop caring about such things. I almost want to go back to the provincial capital immediately to check on my family's move. Because I feel that work matters are really boring.
Thorough.
But I restrained my impulse. I knew that I could only endure such things. Now I feel a little regretful: Why did I agree to Lin Yu to work in the local government? I did a good job in the provincial recruitment office.
The work there was so leisurely, and the most important thing was that I was the leader, at least I didn’t often look at other people’s faces. Now, I don’t have the right to decide everything, and even if I want to do something meaningful, I can’t do it.
