This meeting ended like this. I personally went to the door of the conference room to see them out, and even shook hands with some of them to thank them.
After the representatives left, Mayor Wu said to me with emotion: "Mayor Feng, you are the only mayor I have ever seen who is so humble in front of the people."
I shook my head and said, "Shouldn't we be humble? What we eat and what we sit on are all given by them. What qualifications do we have to be superior in front of them? As you just saw, their requirements are really not high.
We need to face them sincerely, and in the final analysis, their demands are to protect their own interests. As far as fund-raising is concerned, the losses suffered by ordinary people today are ultimately the benefits gained by those large households.
It is so difficult for ordinary people to save some money, but they are deceived by those people, especially our laid-off workers. The money they gave us is life-saving money, so we cannot let them suffer a little bit.
It’s a loss. It’s just that I can’t say that on such an occasion, but we must do that in the future.”
He nodded, "Mayor Feng, I agree with your idea. But do we really have to use financial funds to subsidize their losses?"
I sighed and said: "If there is no other way by then, we will have no choice but to do that. As the saying goes, to help the emergency is not to help the poor, but to subsidize our laid-off workers is to help the emergency. If we really want to
If we do that, I think other fundraisers will also understand."
He looked at me, "But, didn't you just say that? You have clearly told everyone that you will not use city finance funds? Then, will it happen then..."
I knew this man was very shrewd, and what he said was actually trying to get relevant information. I smiled meaningfully at him, "I just said, as a last resort. Haha!"
He immediately smiled at me and said, "I understand."
I looked at him, "What do you understand?"
He whispered to me: "This matter was reported to the province by our Shangjiang City. The province will focus on our fund-raising households, both from the perspective of rewards and from the perspective of further deepening and stabilizing the reform of our state-owned enterprises."
The issue of losses. Mayor Feng, is that so?"
I hurriedly said: "Old Wu, you just need to understand some things in your heart. Who said we went to Jiangjiang to report the fund-raising matter to the province? As far as I know, there were already places that reported it before us."
He immediately smiled and said: "Yes, yes! That's right."
I went to pat him on the shoulder and said, "Old Wu, this illegal fund-raising incident has a great impact on the whole province. After all, we are also doing it for the sake of local stability, so we have no choice but to report this incident to the provincial party committee.
But this matter involves too many people and too many people, so this matter may cause some people to retaliate, so you and I have to be careful."
He shook his head and said: "I think retaliation is unlikely. This is what our government should do. But it's better to be careful. We should keep a low profile."
In fact, I think what he said is quite right. For a first-level government, there are many things that need to be taken care of. In fact, there are also many things that involve the interests of others. If the government dares not ask about anything, it will not take care of it.
, then nothing can be done.
After returning to the office, I suddenly remembered the phone call I received before the meeting. Obviously, that person wanted to sell me his house. To be honest, I really liked that place. It was quiet, antique, and
The surrounding environment. And more importantly, the transportation in that place is very convenient.
After the call was dialed, I said: "Hello, my class has just ended. What can I do for you?"
He said: "I heard my mother say that you want to buy my house, right? What now? Do you still have that idea?"
I replied: "It is possible to buy it, but the procedures are difficult."
He said: "It's not difficult to do. It can be transferred for seventy years. I asked the village chief and he said it was OK. If no one lives in this house, mold will quickly grow inside. My house
The house was passed down from the previous generation and is relatively well preserved. I don't want to let it get damaged. It would be great if you want to buy it, but this house cannot be demolished. We can come back and take a look when we are free in the future.
"
I laughed and said, "Then why should I buy it? If I want to rent a house, I might as well rent it in the city."
In fact, it is impossible for me to demolish that house, but I know that the so-called transfer is renting without ownership of the house. And it is impossible for me to live there now. After all, I just like that place, and
To a large extent, I still have a nostalgia for that place in my heart because I once went there with Udon Mei.
He said: "It seems that you don't want to buy with peace of mind. Now our family has lived on the coast and bought a house there. My mother lives here alone and we really don't feel at ease, so we want to
She took it over. If you really want to buy it, I can sell it to you cheaply, as long as you promise not to demolish the house. We will write this clearly in the contract when the time comes."
I said, "Oh? How about a cheap way?"
He said: "The price is one hundred thousand yuan. How about it? You can use it for seventy years. This price is cheap, right?"
It's really cheap. I thought to myself. But at the same time, I thought: Why would I buy that place? The most I can do is to live there occasionally and experience the quiet and pastoral life in the countryside. But I already have that
I already have a stone house, so it seems unnecessary to buy a place like that again.
I thought for a while and said, "Well, let me think about it and then give you a reply."
After I put down the phone, I was thinking: Why did I suddenly think of buying that place? Well, at that time, I hoped to have the opportunity to be with Udon Mei often. But later I found out that my idea was a
Such an extravagant hope. But now, the trace of desire in my heart suddenly appeared again, and it is precisely because of this that I am so hesitant now.
At this moment, when I thought of Udon-mei, I hurriedly picked up the phone and called Guanqin, "Have you notified the time of the postgraduate interview?"
She answered me: "The results have just come out. The interview is probably going to be soon."
I said: "Then you must tell me in advance so that I can arrange the time."
She smiled and said: "You have three places in your name. You must recruit a boy when the time comes. There is a shortage of male doctors in obstetrics and gynecology now."
I said: "It depends on the registration status. It doesn't necessarily have to be a boy. We will discuss it then."
She smiled and said: "You are the main one, I will listen to you."
This time I was not polite and said, "That's okay."
I can't be polite on this matter, because I have to ensure that Udon Mei's admission will not fail.
Next, I sent a text message to Governor Huang: I have asked, but the interview time has not been notified yet. No problem. Today’s petition has been handled. Don’t worry.
Then I called Udon Mei and said, "The results are out and online, right?"
She replied: "Yeah."
I said: "I will interview you personally then, there will be no problem. Don't worry."
But she immediately said to me: "Teacher Feng, I don't want to study obstetrics and gynecology anymore. Is that okay?"
I was very surprised, "Why? Didn't you apply for obstetrics and gynecology?"
She said softly: "I don't want to be your real student..."
I immediately understood that what she meant was that once she became my real student, the relationship between us would be abnormal and could easily be criticized. In fact, she also understood in her heart that even in the future, our relationship would not be normal.
It is impossible to completely and truly sever that relationship.
Also, her test scores were good this time, so she had a choice. However, I needed to do some work for her.
I asked her: "Then which major do you want to study?"
She said: "Is ophthalmology okay?"
I thought for a while and said, "I'll ask first."
She immediately said to me softly: "Teacher Feng, I want to meet you. Is that okay?"
My heart suddenly stirred, "Isn't this inconvenient?"
She said: "I'm at home. My mother caught a cold a few days ago, so I came home."
I was very surprised, "How did Governor Huang know your test scores?"
She replied: "I told him, he likes it when I tell him things like this."
I thought about it, but the excitement in my heart was still uncontrollable, "In this case, I will pick you up near your home in the evening, and then we will find a place to have dinner together. I happen to have something to tell you."
She said: "Well. Then I'll wait for you." (To be continued)
