The atmosphere of the meeting was somewhat tense.
Ling Shenghua, executive deputy county magistrate, and An Zhiguo, director of the Finance Bureau, openly and secretly refused to allocate funds for road construction in Longjingzi Township.
Gu Tianhua, director of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, and Zhao Chongming, director of the Transportation Bureau, stood aside and did not dare to express their opinions.
“Poverty alleviation is the top priority in the work of the county committee and county government. Why not go to the Standing Committee to discuss it!”
County Magistrate Chen Shaoping proposed.
Executive Deputy County Magistrate Ling Shenghua did not speak.
An Zhiguo, director of the Finance Bureau, rubbed his belly and said, "County Magistrate Chen, this is not a question of not being on the Standing Committee, but a question of whether our Finance Bureau has the funds!"
"Director An, poverty alleviation is a political task!"
Chen Shaoping looked calm, but his tone was firm and unquestionable.
"Then listen to County Magistrate Chen and discuss it at the County Party Committee Standing Committee!"
Ling Shenghua said from the side.
After everyone left Chen Shaoping's office, Li Jingchen, who was in charge of cleaning, couldn't help but say: "County Magistrate Chen, the Director of the Finance Bureau and Magistrate Ling are in cahoots!"
Chen Shaoping couldn't help but frown after hearing this, and asked: "Jingchen, what is the basis for your statement?
"No, just based on feeling!" Li Jingchen said.
"Remember, feelings are things that stay in your heart, not your mouth!"
Chen Shaoping's tone was a little serious.
"Okay, County Magistrate Chen!" Li Jingchen replied and lowered his head.
When Li Jingchen packed up and walked out of the office, Chen Shaoping couldn't help but comment in his heart: "This Li Jingchen is still reckless and has no taboos. If he is a novice in the officialdom, he will suffer big losses!"
In fact, it was not that Li Jingchen was reckless, but that he regarded Chen Shaoping as someone he could absolutely trust. He would say whatever he wanted and was completely loyal.
After sitting in the office for a while, Chen Shaoping got up and went to the office of County Party Secretary He Jinbo.
At this time, Xiong Chaoneng, director of the Organization Department of the county party committee, was reporting work in He Jinbo's office.
An Libin, the full-time secretary of the county party committee secretary, invited Chen Shaoping into a nearby office and made Chen Shaoping a cup of hot tea very respectfully.
Chen Shaoping was thinking in his mind: Executive Deputy County Magistrate Ling Shenghua and Finance Bureau Director An Zhiguo were singing along.
"An Zhiguo doesn't want to raise the matter of road construction to the Standing Committee! However, Ling Shenghua has an indifferent attitude!"
"This shows that Ling Shenghua is able to control the attitude of the majority of the people in the County Party Committee Standing Committee. Since Ling Shenghua can control the trend of the Standing Committee, why is An Zhiguo unwilling to sit on the Standing Committee?"
This also illustrates a problem. County Party Secretary He Jinbo currently cannot fully control the Standing Committee!
Because Ling Shenghua knew about the relationship between He Jinbo and Chen Shaoping, but he was still not afraid to go to the Standing Committee to discuss it...
"As the secretary of the county party committee, if he cannot fully control the county party committee's standing committee, his authority will be greatly reduced!"
Chen Shaoping was thinking about these questions in his mind.
Xiong Chaoneng, the head of the Organization Department of the County Party Committee, had already finished his work report. When he saw Chen Shaoping waiting in the office of An Libin, the secretary of the County Party Committee, he immediately walked over uneasily, stretched out his hands to shake hands with Chen Shaoping: "County Chief Chen, I'm sorry, sorry, I'm really sorry. , I didn’t know it was you waiting outside!”
"Minister Xiong, you are so polite. You are here to report to Secretary He. There must be a first-come, first-served basis!" Chen Shaoping said with a smile.
County Party Secretary He Jinbo also walked out of the office and said to secretary An Libin: "Xiao An, next time if County Magistrate Chen comes over, no matter who is reporting work inside, you have to come in and tell me!"
"Old Chen, you came just in time. I got two cakes of good tea here. You can take one cake and drink it!"
He Jinbo said to Chen Shaoping while taking out the good tea from the drawer.
Chen Shaoping glanced at the packaging box, which had the words Jinjiang Zhengde Group faintly written on it, and thought to himself: "This is probably the work of Yang Yiming and others again!"
Chen Shaoping took the tea, put it to his nose, smelled it, and praised: "The tea has a rich aroma, what a good tea!"
He Jinbo's fat face was full of smiles, "It is said that it is produced by the Zhengde Group on its own tea mountain in Yunnan. I don't know if it is true or not!"
While He Jinbo was speaking, he personally made a cup of hot tea for Chen Shaoping.
"Secretary He, I came to see you because I have something to report to you!" Chen Shaoping took the hot tea handed over by He Jinbo with both hands.
"Old Chen, there is no reporting or communication between us, let's communicate!" He Jinbo said with a smile.
Chen Shaoping did not continue to struggle with this issue, and briefly explained the situation of the road construction project in Longjingzi Township that he had just communicated with Ling Shenghua, An Zhiguo and others.
"I know the situation of Huasheng Mining Company quite well. As a representative of private enterprises in Rongjiang County, I reported it to the Jiangli Municipal Government and won the title of Jiangli City's Excellent Private Enterprise. Mayor Zhao also personally I visited the Huasheng Mining Group site, so the county government finance has always provided subsidies!"
He Jinbo handed Chen Shaoping a cigarette and said while lighting a cigarette for himself.
"Secretary He, since he is an excellent private enterprise, he should not continue to suck the blood of the government. He should create tax revenue for the local government!" Chen Shaoping paused for a moment before continuing: "There is also poverty alleviation and now it is Secretary Yang of the Municipal Party Committee has stressed the important work of our province more than once at city-wide cadre meetings. Poverty alleviation is a political task and there is no room for slacking off!"
He Jinbo nodded repeatedly and saw that Chen Shaoping was holding a cigarette but not smoking, so he picked up a lighter and lit the cigarette for Chen Shaoping himself.
"Secretary He, I have seen the fiscal expenditures of Rongjiang County. Isn't the nearly 10 million yuan in subsidies given to Huasheng Mining Company every year a bit too much? Even if this subsidy is needed, in the face of the political task of poverty alleviation, shouldn't it be done? A little concession?”
Chen Shaoping looked a little excited.
He Jinbo nodded approvingly and said, "Old Chen, let's hold a standing committee meeting... I fully support you!"
Chen Shaoping hesitated for a moment and said, "Secretary He, before the Standing Committee meeting, should we talk to all the Standing Committee members first?"
If He Jinbo could fully grasp the situation in Rongjiang County, Chen Shaoping should not ask this question.
Because of this sentence, there is a suspicion of questioning the county party secretary's ability to grasp the overall situation.
He Jinbo hesitated for a moment and said: "It is necessary! We are all foreign cadres, and our foundation is not stable enough! We need to say hello in advance!"
In the Huasheng Hotel owned by Huasheng Mining Company, Ling Shenghua and An Zhiguo were leisurely drinking red wine and enjoying massages from two beautiful technicians.
"Mr. Ling, Chen wants to cut off Huasheng's financial subsidies through the Standing Committee!" An Zhiguo said with a smile.
"That's just nonsense. Don't worry, everything is under control!" Ling Shenghua said confidently.
