Lu Decai said at this time: "Chief Lu, the little paddy land we expropriated is only a small part of the farmers. Even if the compensation is delayed, they will not be hungry.
"But the opportunity to invest in shares is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once the deadline has passed, it will be gone. You should understand what is more important, right?"
Lu Yanling looked at him coldly and said: "If you pay the money owed to the farmers later, they will not be hungry. Secretary Lu, your idea is seriously out of touch with the purpose of serving the people advocated by our party!"
"You!" Rude was speechless and angry after being spoken to by this beautiful woman.
When Huang Changxing saw that Lu Decai was about to have a fit, he said first: "Mr. Lu, everyone knows the truth, so don't talk anymore. Since everyone has different opinions, let's vote by a show of hands."
After speaking, he was the first to raise his hand, followed by Lu Decai, Shi Sian, Organization Committee member Li Liqiang and United Front Committee member Ou Guanghui in agreement.
Lu Yanling saw that most people raised their hands, but those who didn't raised their hands were watching their actions and were ready to make a move.
In order to stop the vote, she changed her mind and said sternly: "I don't agree to vote on this issue that has not been fully discussed. Once everyone agrees to spend 10 million to purchase shares, if there is any problem with the money in the future, the person who raised his hand must Take full responsibility!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed dramatically!
Lu Yanling glanced at everyone majestically and continued: "It is not allowed to use government funds to invest in private enterprises. Some people only see the investment income, but never thought that once the company goes bankrupt, the money we invested will go to Who wants to come back?
"So, I firmly oppose this motion. If you force it to pass with majority consent, I will write a report on this matter and report it to my superiors. If the funds cannot be recovered in the future, those who agree will sell their properties to compensate!"
Damn, these words are extremely heart-wrenching.
Even Huang Changxing has to admit that what Lu Yanling said has some truth. Private companies are not like state-owned enterprises, which can fail at will. If this company is not managed well and really fails, then the more than 10 million yuan will really fail. It's all wasted.
However, Huang Changxing would not give in in front of the new female mayor so quickly, otherwise once his prestige was lost, it would be difficult to control others in the future.
He said to Lu Yanling with a stern face: "Mr. Lu, you are going against the party committee. Don't forget, I am the leader of the party committee and have the right to make the decision. It is useless for you to object!"
Lu Yanling sneered and said: "I have not forgotten that the party secretary does have the right to make decisions, but that is only used in emergencies. Do you dare to say that this matter has reached a very urgent stage?
"Secretary Huang, if you insist on making a statement, then I will record the matter and form a written report to the superior. If there are any adverse consequences caused by this matter in the future, you will be fully responsible!"
"You!" Huang Changxing was so angry that he wanted to take action but had to worry about his image. He was choked and couldn't speak for a while.
At this moment, the cell phone of Shi Sian, director of the Party and Government Office, rang. He picked it up and looked at it. After answering the call, he scolded him angrily: "I didn't mean we were in a meeting...what?"
Then, he covered the pickup port of his cell phone and said to Huang Changxing: "Secretary Huang, there are many people coming to the gate below. The security captain said they are people from Citang Village!"
Huang Changxing was stunned: "Citang Village, what do they want to do?"
Shi Sian reminded: "They are here to ask for compensation for polluted farmland."
Huang Changxing suddenly realized it, and his anger surged upwards. He couldn't help but swear: "This group of unscrupulous people is not over yet!"
Lu Yanling had just arrived and didn't know the situation, so she asked in confusion: "What on earth is going on?"
Liang Shaoting, a member of the Discipline Inspection Commission who had been silent, said: "Headmaster Lu, it's like this. Dingsheng Industrial Co., Ltd. invested in and developed a copper-zinc mine in Huangniuling, our township. Because no environmental protection equipment was installed, toxic wastewater was discharged directly into the river. , causing most of the farmland in Citang Village downstream to be polluted and unable to be cultivated.
"For this reason, the township government discussed with Dingsheng Company, and finally the company agreed to compensate the villagers of Citang Village at the standard of 2,000 yuan per mu. But even with this small amount of compensation, the company still has not paid it until now. .
“According to the villagers’ reports, not only do they have no food to feed their families, but they also have to fetch drinking water from Fox Valley seven or eight kilometers away. In addition, the land is polluted and many people are sick, and they have no money for treatment. They have come to the government several times. I’ve asked for an explanation for the first time, but so far I haven’t helped them solve it, alas!”
After Lu Yanling heard this, her pretty face changed color. She was so angry that she almost slammed the table. She took several deep breaths with great effort to suppress her anger.
"Secretary Huang, how can this matter be resolved now?"
Huang Changxing looked indifferent: "Now that you are the head of the township, you should be the one to take the initiative to solve the problem. I think so, since we have not reached an agreement on the issue just now, we will put it aside for the time being and wait for the time to come. The most important thing now is to resolve those issues. Regarding the issue of unruly people causing trouble, Township Chief Lu is responsible for this matter, adjourn the meeting!"
After saying that, he stood up first, picked up his thermos cup and walked away quickly.
Rude waited for a few others to stand up, his gloating eyes were not concealed at all, and his mood of watching the show was expressed through chatting and laughing, which made Lu Yanling feel badly.
Unexpectedly, she would encounter such a difficult problem just one week after taking office, and Huang Changxing and others would put her on the fire.
"Director Shi!"
As soon as Shi Sian walked out of the door, he was stopped sharply by Lu Yanling.
This was his dilemma. Although he sided with Huang Changxing, he, as the director of the Party and Government Office, was also responsible for the office affairs of the government. Lu Yanling was also his immediate boss, so it was impossible to stay out of the matter.
He reluctantly returned to the conference room and asked with a look of reluctance: "Mr. Lu, what's the matter?"
To be precise, he should call his boss "leader", but he called him his job title. Such obvious disrespect showed that he didn't take Lu Yanling seriously at all.
Lu Yanling didn't have time to argue with him at this time, and said, "Call the deputy mayor in charge of environmental protection and the people in charge of environmental protection. I need to understand the situation clearly before we can solve it."
Shi Sian rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. Lu, there is no time for meetings and research now. The security captain said they are about to start knocking on the door. I think we should stop them quickly at this time."
As soon as he finished speaking, a wave of louder shouts came from outside the window.
Lu Yanling glanced at Shi Sian and felt that what he said made sense, so she stood up and said, "All cadres, follow me!"
At the gate of the township government, the stainless steel retractable door blocked the crowd of villagers outside. Ten security guards lined up in a row, standing inside with batons in hand as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They all looked nervous and panicked in their hearts.
