Chapter 125 Making things difficult
The Shuiming Township cadre meeting was held not long ago. Unlike Xiao Zhanwang who took office, Li Yuanlang did not show an aggressive attitude in his speech. On the contrary, he was very humble. He always talked about the township party committee and insisted that the township government is under the leadership of the township party committee.
In all work, the township party committee must be the most important purpose and principle.
As for the empty slogans, Li Yuanlang said very little. The more he said, the more he did. Only by doing things in a down-to-earth manner so that the people can truly enjoy the benefits and live a good life, will they love and support you and be worthy of their conscience.
To say anything else is nonsense.
Ma Shengran had already set up his posture and prepared to give Li Yuanlang a good beating at the meeting. What was he doing? Before he took the seat of the township chief, he recruited six or seven people to come over. Is this a demonstration against me or a challenge to the authority of my party secretary?
As a result, Li Yuanlang didn't follow his moves at all, just like Ma Shengran hitting the cotton with all his strength. The rolling force was replaced by a soft feeling, not to mention feeling discouraged.
Li Yuanlang lowered his posture so that Ma Shengran would not be able to say those unpleasant words, otherwise people would think he was too domineering. After all, it was a big event with hundreds of people attending, so he had to restrain himself.
Therefore, his speech was very brief, saying a few words and ending hastily. Generally speaking, this township cadre meeting was the dullest and the shortest in recent times.
Meng Lingjiang refused to stay for dinner no matter what. The place of Shuiming Township left a shadow on him. He was worried that he would get drunk and make a fool of himself, which would lead to losing his face at his grandma's house.
As usual, when a new leader takes office, there will be a collective dinner in the township. Li Yuanlang called Guan Chunming and asked him how much money was left in his account.
Guan Chunming changed into two blue floral cloth sleeves, tugged them up, put the account book he had prepared in front of Li Yuanlang, and said: "Chief Li, it turns out there are more than five thousand in the account.
Later, Secretary Ma asked for 20,000 yuan from the Education Bureau to be credited. We did welfare during the Double Festival, which cost about 10,000 yuan. Gao Yue'e, the proprietress of Ye Yuhua Restaurant, happened to reimburse the entertainment expenses, so I gave her 10,000 yuan first, and now only...
"He pointed to the balance column for Li Yuanlang to see.
"More than three hundred?" Li Yuanlang's jaw dropped. He didn't expect that he would face difficulties as soon as he took office. He was short of money, seriously short of money!
Something was wrong, so Li Yuanlang asked Guan Chunming: "After spending 20,000 yuan before and after, where did the remaining 5,000 yuan go?"
"Isn't this..." Guan Chunming pointed to several expenditures on the ledger and explained: "In the past two days, many offices in the township were renovated, and the money spent is all here. I have clearly listed the entries and the receipts are all here. Please
Take a look at it."
Li Yuanlang was furious. Some people in the village were practicing feudal superstition, but the government paid the bill. It didn't make sense.
He looked through the receipts and found that they were all signed by Ma Shengran. During the vacancy after Xiao Zhanzhan's death, Ma Shengran acted as the township head, and his signatures naturally took effect.
What a waste if you have no money! Li Yuanlang cursed in his heart, threw the cigarette in his hand on the table, waved to Guan Chunming and said: "Okay, I understand, you go out first, leave the account book, and I will take a look at it
.”
Guan Chunming should quietly exit, turn around and close the door of the room.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Shu walked in with a happy smile and said that Secretary Ma had already booked two banquets at Ye Yuhua, but the proprietress Gao Yuee'e wanted cash from the village this time and refused to sign the bill.
"Director Liu, how much do you think we need to spend?" Li Yuanlang asked.
"It should be at least a thousand." Liu Shuxi counted on his fingers: "This does not include the money for drinks and cigarettes."
"Look at this." Li Yuanlang pointed at the balance on the ledger.
"There are only more than three hundred yuan left!" Liu Shuxi was also surprised. He never expected that Tangtang Shuimingxiang only had more than three hundred yuan on his books, which was not as much money as he had in his pocket.
"Isn't it possible?" Liu Shuxi looked through the ledger as if he didn't believe it. He was convinced that Shuiming Township was really poor. If he had any clothes to wear, he might even have clothes now, leaving only a fig leaf.
He kept scratching his head, so Li Yuanlang said, I will go to Secretary Ma to discuss it and see if we can simply eat in the cafeteria.
Ma Shengran didn't care about money and rarely interfered with it. When Xiao Zhanwang was still alive, he never reported the capital turnover on his books to him.
This time it was Li Yuanlang who took the initiative to ask him to review the account books. Ma Shengran glanced at it for a few times and sighed: "What happened to Xiao Zhanzhan? Did he get greedy for all the money? Why is there so little left?"
Li Yuanlang said to himself: "Why are you pretending to be a big fan? You waved your hand and the five thousand yuan decoration fee was wasted. It was not all because you were the first to do the Feng Shui master's trick, and others followed suit."
of."
Nowadays, small mirrors are hung everywhere in the entire Shuiming Township government building. Those who don’t know may think that we have turned into a shop selling small mirrors.
Ma Shengran thought for a while and said: "Chief Li, as a secretary, I only care about personnel and not money, so I can't do anything about it. You came from the county government, you have many connections, and you are County Magistrate Jin's capable subordinate. The county government is in charge of money.
You go to the place where you are, and sit with County Magistrate Jin for a while. As long as Magistrate Jin opens his mouth, it doesn’t take much, and with a support of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, we can persist until the end of the year. I believe you have a way."
&nb bsp;
Eat it. Besides, since you have taken office as a new official, you should not be wronged, right? Everyone should be happy for you."
"I heard from Director Liu that Boss Gao wouldn't let me sign for cash, but the money on the books was simply not enough..." Li Yuanlang frowned slightly, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"I'll go to her place and tell her, how dare I, Ma Shengran, Gao Yue'e, refuse to give her this little face? These businessmen are happy to make money, but if they owe money, it's like killing their parents. You can't always stick to them for good things. I'll solve this matter, and you can
Responsible for taking charge of the county and asking for money." Ma Shengran said boldly.
I thought that Ma Shengran would come forward and this matter could be solved easily. Unexpectedly, Liu Shuxi came to Li Yuanlang again and said that Gao Yue'e agreed to eat and sign, but also said that she had no money to stock the goods. There were only some vegetables left in the store. As for the big fish and meat that she had ordered,
Exquisite food, sorry, no.
Li Yuanlang sneered in his heart, and after singing and singing, Ma Shengran was setting up artificial obstacles to give him a slap in the face. While not allowing him to change the place to eat, he also asked the boss lady Gao Yue'e to deliberately make things difficult. If he went to Ma Shengran to solve the problem, he would be childish and fall into the trap.
Ma Shengran's plan is that you, Li Yuanlang, can't do anything without me, Ma Shengran. From now on, I, Ma Shengran, will lead you by the nose and walk you around.
Without this rotten egg like you, I can't make trough cake! Li Yuanlang immediately called Han Wei, gave him a wad of money, and asked him to buy raw materials according to the recipe ordered by Liu Shuxi. As for drinks and cigarettes, they don't need to be expensive, just average.
.
"Okay." Han Wei took the money and went out happily. Li Yuanlang sat on the chair and hadn't breathed enough when Liu Shuxi came to see him again.
Today, Liu Shuxi has come four or five times. This person who used to regard Ma Shengran's office as his home has somehow changed his mind and keeps coming over and over again.
"Director Liu, what happened again?" Li Yuanlang deliberately said the word "again" loudly to remind Liu Shuxi that he was very impatient.
"That's right." Liu Shuxi said coquettishly: "Deputy Mayor Sun has arrived, but his office has not been resolved yet. Do you think..."
"If it's not solved, you can solve it. I'm not the director of the Party and Government Office, why are you looking for me?" As soon as Li Yuanlang took office, he was troubled one after another. He was in an extremely bad mood. He suppressed his anger and talked to Liu Shuxi.
"I arranged an office for Deputy Township Chief Sun, but he didn't want to go there because he didn't like the novel. Mayor Li, you are the township chief now. You should change to a better office. I will have Lao Xiao's office renovated.
Clean it up, you can move there now, this room is just for Deputy Township Mayor Sun, which is what Secretary Ma meant."
Liu Shuxi simply went straight to the point and explained the purpose of his visit. On the surface, he asked Li Yuanlang to use his office, but in fact, he created another problem for him.
Xiao Zhanzhan hanged himself in his office. The room was like a haunted house, especially the old man who came that day hung a small mirror above the opposite door. Later, several charlatans burned paper and performed rituals there, which made people panic.
It turns out that Tan Gang, who lives across the street from Xiao Zhanzhan, was so frightened that he moved his office downstairs a long time ago. He admitted that the lighting was poor, but he didn't dare to live across the door for fear that Xiao Zhanzhan's ghost would come to him one day.
Tan Gang and Xiao Zhanzhan, who were close friends personally, were scared to death, let alone other people. They were always very timid when passing by the door, and they mostly walked around. Even the old man who worked the night shift was the only one who was scared to death.
When Liu Shuxi forced Li Yuen Long to move there, it must have been Ma Shengran's second problem for him. This man was really insidious and his heart was to be punished.
Targeting him one after another, Ma Shengran was really bullying! Li Yuanlang was so angry that he gritted his back teeth and turned his palms into fists. In the end, he still held back and did not explode.
Ma Shengran just wants to make him angry, just to disrupt his rhythm and fly into a rage, which is exactly what Ma Shengran wants. Isn't it just to live in an office where people have died before? What's the big deal? I, Li Yuanlang, act righteously and walk straight, so I have nothing to fear.
What about monsters, ghosts, feudal superstitions?
"Okay, you arrange for someone to help me move my things there, and let Deputy Township Chief Sun move in as soon as possible. I still have something to do, and I hope the office can be settled well when I come back." After Li Yuanlang finished speaking, he strode straight out of the township government.
He walked aimlessly along the only cement road in Shui Ming Township to relieve his bad mood.
Shui Tingyue called at the right time and joked: "How about my mayor, how does it feel to sit in the position of the empress of the palace?"
Li Yuanlang looked bitter, but said: "Step by step, everything is normal, what about you?"
"It's okay. I was worried that Ma Shengran would make things difficult for you. As for me...it's okay, my thoughts in that regard are not so strong." It was clear that Shui Tingyue was shy.
It's better to be shy if you understand, so as not to pester Li Yuanlang to ask for a room when they meet, causing him to be in a dilemma.
The two talked about love for a while before hanging up. With Shui Tingyue's comfort, Li Yuanlang felt a little relaxed. When he returned, he didn't enter the township government compound and went directly to the Ye Yuhua Hotel across the street. He originally wanted to ask about the night.
While the dinner was being prepared, a violent quarrel was heard inside.
