Director Du's move was so cruel. It was noon and it was time to eat, so he teased everyone to the meeting.
Then put on a show, if you don’t give me a satisfactory answer in today’s meeting, none of you will be able to eat, and you will all be left here to dry yourself out! You will be hungry!
Early August is the time of year when the temperature is the highest, and 11 o'clock at noon is almost the time of the day when the temperature is the highest.
Yu Qingyang estimated the body temperature to be thirty-five or six degrees.
After a while, everyone was sweating!
Looking at the two township chiefs, the snow-white short-sleeved shirts on their bodies were already wet. Their faces were covered with beads of sweat. Their hair was wet with sweat and stuck softly to their scalps.
"Director Du, what you are doing is against the rules. We will no longer be able to manage you!" Township Chief Cai still refused to let go.
"Why can't it be managed? What's wrong with the rules? Wasn't the entire relocation work completed under the leadership of your township working group?
And without your township’s signature, we won’t send the money to the village!” Director Du asked.
"You give the money directly to the village. What should I do if I don't want you to do it? Hundreds of people in the township are still waiting for this money to be paid as wages!" Mayor Cai was forced to panic and blurted out the truth.
"What does it have to do with me if you are waiting to be paid?
Or are you saying that you have no intention of giving this money to the people at all?
The so-called compensation for the people is just a pretense!" Director Du asked angrily.
A government-invested engineering project must go through layers of approval procedures from the time of project establishment.
From the initial investigation and research, the final decision is made internally and an application report for the establishment of the project is formed, which is submitted to the superior department for application for project approval.
Then go to the higher-level department, organize experts to review, hold meetings and discuss, and finally agree to establish the project.
If it's faster, it will take three or four months; if it's too slow, it may take a year or even two years before the project can be approved.
As for the Qingshui Lake dredging and capacity expansion project, it took about seven or eight months from the initial preparation to the final project approval.
From the time when the project was being prepared to today, Director Du, Township Chiefs Zhang and Cai have met more than once or twice.
Before the project was launched, the two people patted their chests and promised that nothing would be a problem. Their village would unconditionally obey the leadership's instructions and fully support the development of the project.
What's the result?
At the first coordination meeting after the project team was established, these two people posed a difficult problem to themselves.
Young crop compensation.
During the preliminary investigation, they never said anything. What did the bureau ask? Their answer was that there was no problem.
At that time, Director Du had a fire in his heart, but it didn't come out.
Today, two people actually admitted in front of them that they wanted to embezzle the young crops compensation money that they had finally squeezed out.
The anger in Director Du's heart could no longer be suppressed.
"Director Du, it's not that we don't give them to the people, we are just borrowing them temporarily, and there is nothing we can do!
There are hundreds of unemployed workers in the township, and our township is well-known as a poor township.
The fiscal revenue is not enough to pay wages! Now the wages of private teachers alone are in arrears for more than half a year..." Township Chief Zhang hurriedly explained.
"I don't care about your bullshit!" The furious Director Du directly interrupted Mayor Zhang's words, with curses in his words.
“Our Water Conservancy Bureau is not for poverty alleviation. Your fiscal revenue is not enough, so you didn’t go to the county!
I put this here today: Anyone who dares to raise funds for water conservancy construction will be sent to jail!"
"Director Du, calm down the fire. It's not easy for local comrades!
They also have their difficulties. Water conservancy infrastructure is a century-old plan for the country, and no one dares to pay attention to water conservancy construction funds!
Xiao Zhang and Xiao Cai are probably out of their minds! I will severely criticize them later." Director Yang tried to smooth things over.
"snort!"
Director Du snorted heavily.
He was not angry because Mayor Zhang and Mayor Cai were planning to embezzle the compensation, but because they were playing tricks on him and treating him like a fool.
If it's easy to negotiate and manage, it's not like Director Du can't allocate some emergency funds for farmland water conservancy construction to them.
However, the two people did not openly talk to themselves. Instead, they kept making small moves in private, constantly creating difficulties for the project in order to achieve their goals.
This is nothing more than tolerance and cannot be forgiven.
And Director Du knew very well that if he didn’t teach them a lesson today, who knows what trouble would happen in the future!
"Director Yang, you were sent here by the county!
In front of you today, let me tell you, tomorrow I will see the working group stationed at the headquarters, and the relocation work must be completed in half a month!
If it cannot be completed, I will talk to the main leaders in your county!
If your county leaders don’t give me an explanation, I will file a report and cancel this project!
Don’t think I can’t spend the money!
Qingshui Lake is not the only place in Mudan City!
Instead of building Qingshui Lake, I can build Liulou Reservoir and Leize Lake Reservoir!
In the future, you Huxi County should not come to me for water conservancy funds!" Director Du said very harshly.
This is a rare thing in official novels. In officialdom, it is important to keep your words to your lips.
Director Du also spoke with confidence. The director of the department will be here soon. It is no secret that Director Du will take over.
"Director Du, I will definitely report it to the county committee and deal with it seriously and treat this issue correctly!" Seeing that Director Du was really angry, Director Yang also promised seriously.
It is not a good thing to anger a city bureau leader.
The municipal bureau spends less time begging for them, but they spend more time courting others.
As the chief steward of Huxi County, Director Yang naturally knows that Qingshui Lake is not the first phase of the project.
This has been done for two phases, and there are three and four phases to come.
The goal of the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau is to build Qingshui Lake into a highlight project integrating water storage irrigation, ecological sightseeing and tourism.
If you really offend this person over the relocation, let alone other things, don’t consider the next three or four phases.
People can invest their money in other projects.
As for project approval, project approval can also be changed.
Mayor Zhang and Mayor Cai stood there with livid faces and speechless.
I don't know what to say either.
After all, they are also the second-in-command in the township, and usually no one in the township would bow their heads when they see them.
As a result, Director Du scolded them mercilessly and slapped them in the face in front of everyone today, making them extremely embarrassed.
But they really didn't dare to argue with Director Du.
Just like Director Du said, don't come to him for water conservancy fund matters in the future.
As the two townships that have annoyed Director Du, it is foreseeable that as long as Director Du is in office in the future, they will not ask for a penny of special funds for water conservancy.
"Director Du, Director Lu, Director Yang, leaders, please drink some water!" Yu Qingyang's words broke the somewhat awkward atmosphere on the field.
Yu Qingyang held a box and distributed water to everyone one by one.
Director Du pointed at Manager Tan and Section Chief Gao and said: "Manager Tan, Section Chief Gao, your two units, please deploy more elite soldiers and generals!
Don’t rely on the countryside for everything. If you leave Butcher Zhang and Butcher Cai, I don’t believe that I, Mr. Du, will eat pork with hair on it!”
"Haha...ha! Lao Du, if we don't eat pork, we can still eat mutton! How can a living person choke to death!" Director Lu laughed and answered.
