Zheng Liyong, who had been silent all the time, glanced sideways at Zhao Xiangdong, with a look of displeasure on his face, and said: "Director Zhao, you are so stubborn, why can't you be flexible? This money is only temporarily diverted, and it will be collected in a few days. The mayor will personally lead people to the south to attract investment, and the funds will be transferred to the town government in large quantities. Once the money is received, it will be returned to you immediately."
Seeing that Zhao Xiangdong wanted to speak, Qi Feng took over the conversation directly and said, "In ten days, or even less than ten days, I can return the money to you."
"Director Zhao, just be okay. My parents were so angry that they were admitted to the intensive care unit because the workers came to make trouble at my house. The doctor issued critical illness notices three times."
Boss Qin also begged Zhao Xiangdong.
However, as soon as Boss Qin finished speaking, the woman wearing heavy makeup couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering.
Hearing Boss Qin speak so pitifully, Zhao Xiangdong thought to himself, does this have anything to do with me?
Facing Qi Feng's three successive attacks, Zhao Xiangdong still adhered to the principles in his heart and said tactfully: "Mayor Qi, Deputy Mayor Zheng, misappropriating special funds is an act of violation of laws and disciplines. If the superiors investigate, I will not Did you make a mistake?"
"Haha, oh, are you afraid of this? That's easy to handle. Isn't Mayor Qi here? He is in charge of the overall work of the town government. If he doesn't check you, who will?"
Zheng Liyong stared at Zhao Xiangdong, feeling that he was ridiculously stupid sometimes.
"I know Mayor Qi won't investigate the Education Office, but the County Education and Sports Bureau may not investigate."
Zhao Xiangdong always adheres to his principle of earmarking funds for special purposes.
"Deputy Ge, who is in charge of infrastructure construction in the Education and Sports Bureau, is my classmate. If he really wants to investigate, I can handle it with just a phone call, so you don't have to worry about anything. Nothing will happen. If something does happen, I will take care of it! "
Qi Feng's face showed an expression of impatience.
Are you carrying it? To put it nicely, this is just a verbal promise. If something happens, you will definitely push it away, and you will definitely pass all the responsibilities on me.
In fact, Zhao Xiangdong also thought about it just now. If the money is not to repair the classroom and ensure that the children have a safe learning environment, it is not impossible to misappropriate it for a few days, but the money for classroom maintenance must not be misappropriated.
This meal is really not free! Zhao Xiangdong thought about it, and if he refused directly now, Mayor Qi would lose face and be unable to step down. But if he agreed to it, it would violate his own principles. In the end, he had to think of a compromise.
"Mayor Qi, do you think this is okay? I'll do a detailed investigation when I go back and see if I can allocate some funds to solve the urgent need."
After Zhao Xiangdong finished speaking, without waiting for Qi Feng and the others to react, he stood up and said, "Mayor Qi, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."
After seeing Zhao Xiangdong leave without looking back, Zheng Liyong said with a sullen face: "What? I gave him face, but he still doesn't want it? Mayor Qi, tell me how to treat him, I will do it!"
Qi Feng, whose face was ashen, picked up the wine glass, his eyes shot out two cold rays of light, and said: "Drink, let's talk about it when we get back."
After walking out of Xiangmanyuan Restaurant, Zhao Xiangdong lit a cigarette and took two deep puffs. He took out his mobile phone and called Lu Feiyang: "Mayor Lu, I'm sorry to bother you, I can't make up my mind about something..."
Lu Feiyang on the other end of the phone listened and praised: "Xiang Dong, you are right to stick to your principles. This money must not be misappropriated by him. Do you know how Liu Fanping got in?"
Zhao Xiangdong looked back and saw someone coming, so he walked to the corner and asked softly: "How did he get in?"
Lu Feiyang said on the phone: "It's because Qi Feng misappropriated the students' subsistence allowance money from the education office the year before last, which was more than 100,000 yuan. Liu Fanping agreed to lend it to him at that time. Qi Feng said that it would be from him within ten days. The working capital from other places was returned to him, but it was not paid back until the incident occurred a few days ago. After investigation by the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, Liu Fanping was the only one who signed the signature. When questioned by the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, Liu Fanping said that it had been embezzled to Qi Feng. But Qi Feng refused to admit the misappropriation. Liu Fanping couldn’t tell where the money went, so the County Commission for Discipline Inspection determined that Liu Fanping had embezzled students’ subsistence allowances, so he went in.”
Zhao Xiangdong asked in confusion: "Qi Feng doesn't admit it, but does he have a record of the transfer? Wouldn't he know it if he went to the bank to check?"
Lu Feiyang smiled faintly and said: "You are right, that's the truth. But Liu Fanping did not transfer money through the bank, but gave Qi Feng directly in cash, and did not write an IOU. Therefore, Liu Fanping is a mute who eats Coptis chinensis. I can’t tell you the pain!”
After hearing what he said, Zhao Xiangdong broke into a cold sweat on his back. He was secretly glad that he didn't agree to lend Qi Feng the money.
Back in the dormitory, Zhao Xiangdong told Chen Qi that Qi Feng wanted to embezzle public funds, and Chen Qi also praised him for sticking to his principles.
On Saturday, two people went to Qianlixiang on Zhen Street and ordered two bowls of Chaos. After eating, they waited for the bus, but they didn't come after waiting for a long time.
Zhao Xiangdong found the bus company's phone number and inquired, only to learn that the bus drivers had gone on strike because they had not been paid for half a year.
The two people had no choice but to rent a tricycle.
The space in the car was small, so the two of them sat very close to each other. In addition, Chen Qi was wearing a short skirt and long legs, which made him blush.
The driver of the three-wheeler was a fat man. He got into the car, looked at them both, and said, "Young man, you are so lucky to have found such a beautiful girlfriend. The important thing is that they don't think you are poor, so they will follow you." The third wheel is broken, and the ancestral graves are filled with green smoke!"
Seeing his envious look, Zhao Xiangdong smiled mischievously and said, "There's nothing I can do. I can't even drive him away, so he relies on me."
Chen Qi gave him a blank look, blushed, pinched the flesh of his thigh, and pinched him hard.
Of course the driver didn't believe what Zhao Xiangdong said, and said: "Little brother, stop yelling, it's better if the girl doesn't kick you. Cherish it, you can't understand how difficult it is to find a wife now, the price of the bride price starts at 100,000 yuan. .”
Zhao Xiangdong had also heard about the high betrothal gifts in Anqing County. Even though it was a poor county, the betrothal gifts here were the highest in nearby counties.
The driver was very talkative and talked a lot about Liuhe Town along the way.
The two of them came to an auto repair shop in the county. When Chen Qi drove a red Buick Regal and stopped in front of Zhao Xiangdong, he was slightly startled and suddenly remembered that this brand of car had an accident in Baligou more than 20 days ago.
"What? Does this car look familiar?" Chen Qi stuck out her head and smiled playfully. Seeing Zhao Xiangdong's stunned expression, she said solemnly: "Thank you for that day. I am really grateful to meet you."
Zhao Xiangdong reacted with surprise on his face and said, "Oh, you were the one who got into the car accident that day? I just said he looked very similar to you."
