"It's normal for you to be worried. Based on your own thinking direction, how do you want to get along with Wu Ximeng at work?"
Zhang Pengfei did not express his meaning directly, but further tested Gong Xiaochang in front of him.
"Director, of course I am based on your orders. After all, Comrade Xi Meng is also the deputy director, and her qualifications are much older than mine. I will adopt her relevant opinions in a timely manner. But the final opinion still depends on the director. It’s yours.”
Gong Xiaochang's answer satisfied Zhang Pengfei. Zhang Pengfei took a puff of his cigarette and remained silent for the time being. He picked up the tea cup at hand and took a sip of tea.
The office was quiet for a short while, and then Zhang Pengfei slowly stared at his deputy Gong Xiaochang.
"Xiaochang, let me give you an explanation. Wu Ximeng will be transferred out soon. I have recommended to the leader that she be transferred to the CPPCC."
"From now on, I will take you as the leader, so work hard! Don't let me live up to my expectations of you. Okay, go down and do your work. I still have some urgent things to deal with."
After Zhang Pengfei finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to process the documents in his hand.
A few minutes later, Zhang Pengfei's phone rang again. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was He Yuntong, the mayor of Jingtian Town.
Zhang Pengfei glanced at this guy's mobile phone number and didn't want to answer it.
However, after all, he had just arrived as secretary of the town, and He Yuntong was the second-in-command in the town. If he had a direct falling out with him, the impact would not be very good.
Zhang Pengfei was not like Chen Boyun, the former secretary of Jingtian Town, who directly removed all the powers of the mayor, He Yuntong, and made him a mere commander.
However, Zhang Pengfei also admired Chen Boyun's methods in his heart. If He Yuntong is still ignorant and continues to play tricks with himself, a temporary cadre from the municipal party committee, then I will put him aside!
With this in mind, Zhang Pengfei answered He Yuntong's call out of courtesy.
"Secretary, this is He Yuntong. Are you back in the city? I'm sorry for calling you so late."
He Yuntong seemed very humble at this moment, and his words were full of apology and resignation.
"Oh, Yuntong, it's okay. I'm at the municipal party committee office making arrangements for the main leaders' itinerary these days. What's wrong? Have you got the subsidy for the reservoir resettlement?"
"Let me tell you, as the mayor, you are young and have rich work experience. Such a thing will definitely not be difficult for you! At the team meeting, you still didn't take this job! Haha."
Zhang Pengfei smiled. He thought that He Yuntong had completed the tasks assigned by him at the team meeting, and he felt relaxed instantly.
However, before Zhang Pengfei could be happy for a few seconds, He Yuntong's hoarse voice began to come out from the phone again.
"Secretary, I'm really sorry. I really can't complete the work you arranged. Where can I get more than 90,000 yuan in funds today and tomorrow?"
"Besides, weren't all the previous funds for the town spent by the incoming secretary Chen Boyun? You can check the town committee's accounts. Chen Boyun leads the young team members in the town all day long and spends his days and nights at every turn."
"I haven't been with them a few times, and I didn't spend the money. Now you want me to come up with the funds, but I really can't do it. Secretary, you still have to be considerate of me."
When He Yuntong said this, he was really embarrassed! A man of forty-seven or eighty-years-old answered humbly to a young town party secretary in his mid-twenties, saying, "I can't complete this task!"
"Old He, I know this job is difficult, but you still have to find a way to raise money. I don't mind how much, you have been the mayor of the town for so many years. As the person in charge of the town government, you can't just take responsibility in one sentence Leave it all to others.”
"You have a lot of problems yourself. If nothing else, I am a cadre of the municipal party committee and I went to Jingtian Town to take charge of the work. What did you do to me? When Zhilin informed you of the meeting, what did you say?"
"As a leading cadre at the grassroots level, you still have to look like a cadre! Can't you get emotional? I didn't want to leave this money matter to you, but your attitude makes me very uncomfortable."
When Zhang Pengfei heard that He Yuntong was apologizing, he got straight to the point.
"Secretary, I was wrong. I have been very confused recently. I have been the mayor of the town for four or five years. I originally thought that if I could take over as secretary, I would work hard for another term and then return to the county People's Congress or the CPPCC to step down."
"However, the organization has no use for me. As a thousand-year-old second-in-command, I feel really uncomfortable. Secretary, do you know what the town cadres say about me?"
He Yuntong's voice suddenly became a little deeper, and he felt like he was about to cry!
Zhang Pengfei felt a little soft-hearted for a while. You, He Yuntong, are also the mayor of a grassroots township. You are a grown man in your forties. Why are you crying? I just asked you to raise funds, but I didn’t force you to resign!
"What did they say about you? Come and tell me."
Zhang Pengfei picked up a cigarette, lit it, and took a small puff.
"Secretary, they are all saying that if you follow me as the mayor, you won't even get a meal a day, and if you hang out with the mayor, you will starve for nine meals in three days! I don't even have the authority to pay for meals in restaurants in town, how can I get it? That’s the immigration fund.”
He Yuntong collapsed a little, his face turned red, and his eyes were full of dark red.
It is conceivable that a dignified mayor was forced by the incoming secretary to not even have the right to miss a meal at work. What a failure this is!
Zhang Pengfei thought for a while, and he felt that he should give He Yuntong some power. Otherwise, what would he do if this guy talked about himself like this in front of the county leaders?
The previous secretary Chen Boyun was a relative of the former county party secretary Gao Qilin. He told He Yuntong this and that. All the leaders of the county party committee would definitely ignore He Yuntong based on Gao Qilin's face.
But since I have just taken office, I still have to give He Yuntong some face and work hard to unite, so that we can have a good start!
Thinking of this, Zhang Pengfei smiled slightly.
"Lao He, okay, I grant you the right to go out to sign orders. The brothers in the town work overtime at night. It's okay for you to take them out for dinner from time to time."
"Of course, the amount shouldn't be too big. After all, our town doesn't have much funds at the moment."
"Also, regarding the immigration subsidy, you should go to the relevant departments in the county to apply and see if there are other channels to get some funds."
"I've prepared a good salary for you, but you have to do a good job for me. Okay, I'm going to accompany the main leaders of the municipal party committee out for a while, so I won't talk to you any more. We'll see you tomorrow."
After Zhang Pengfei said this, he hung up the phone directly.
