These people are residents of Building 5, a subsidiary of the city’s machinery factory.

Since it is an old building, water supply was limited to the fifth floor and above before.

In order to change this situation, the Municipal Water Supply Company abandoned the old water supply pipeline in early October and connected it to the new pipeline.

In this way, with the secondary water supply, residents above the fifth floor can enjoy 24-hour water supply measures.

The original purpose was good, and the location where the pipes could be accessed was located in a restaurant downstairs. You need to dig a pipe access point in the restaurant's kitchen.

The key point is that the restaurant owner disagrees, saying that doing so delays his family's business and will lose a lot of income.

After the construction team of the water supply company discussed, they simply paid the restaurant two thousand yuan in one lump sum. They also ensured that the construction was completed within two hours and restored the excavated place as it is, which would delay the restaurant for one morning at most.

However, the boss disagreed and said that two thousand yuan was not enough to compensate for his losses. He could earn ten thousand in one morning, and he would have to make ten thousand yuan as a foundation for whatever he said, otherwise he would be free from the negotiation.

The construction team came to the door for negotiation many times and found the landlord of the store house. The man vented his anger with the restaurant owner, and opened his mouth and shut up to pay compensation. He was determined not to lose 10,000 yuan.

In this way, the construction team really had no choice but to demolish the original old pipes, so they had to connect a temporary pipe from nearby Building No. 4 to ensure that the residents of this building use water normally.

Because the temporary pipes go outside, they only use ordinary plastic pipes that are not anti-freeze.

As a result, it turned out that when it was cold, the water in the plastic pipes frozen, and all the residents in the building had no water available.

It will be completed in one day or two days, but this stop will last for five days, which has caused great inconvenience to residents' lives.

Some people rely on relatives and friends, but those who have no place to go can only go to get water nearby.

For this reason, water trucks appeared.

The resident went to talk to the restaurant owner, but the boss ignored this. He only talked with the construction team and said that it would be fine to ask him to agree. The residents of your building had enough 10,000 yuan and he agreed immediately. He also spoke wildly and sued him if he was willing. No one on his side was afraid of anyone.

The residents had no choice but to look for the construction team again.

The construction team said they had no choice but to contact the municipal water supply company for this matter.

The ball kicked the water supply company again, but the manager of the water supply company said that they could take out up to 3,000 yuan, and the remaining ones were borne by the residents.

Anyway, you are all benefiting, so it’s time to spread some money.

Later, when everyone calculated, the whole family paid more than 100 yuan and was ready to pay the money.

But some people refused to agree to the renovation of water supply pipes in other buildings. Each company did not pay a penny, so why did they pay?

There are many people who hold this opinion, and more and more.

When many residents who originally planned to pay the money saw that many people did not agree to pay the money, if they paid the money, it would be equivalent to taking on the sharing of the residents who did not pay the money, and they would benefit from it. Who can do such a stupid thing?

So, everyone discussed again and simply gave a representative from each house in the building to file a complaint, hoping that the government would come forward to help solve the problem.

The old man finally said that they came every day and had been there for three consecutive days. The Bureau of Letters and Calls promised to help coordinate, but no one was in charge of this matter.

There was no water for many days, and the old man's house lived on the seventh floor again, and his children were not around. In order to save money, the old couple went to the relatives' houses on the street to fetch water. They traveled back and forth several times a day, so tired that their backs and legs hurt.

Moreover, in order to save water, I went to the nearby public toilets to go to the toilet, and I only ate the steamed buns I bought for dinner. I haven't drunk the dilute for several days.

After hearing this, Li Yuanlang finally understood that this was a typical shirk.

He wrote down the detailed story in his notebook, returned to the office and called Director Tao Feng of the Letters and Calls Bureau.

Tao Feng was still wondering when he answered the phone, who is Deputy Secretary-General Li?

When he inquired, he found out that the person's surname was not Li, but Li, and he just took office today. Deputy Mayor Fang asked him to be responsible for the petition bureau.

OK, this person turned out to be his immediate boss, and he was blamed for his ignorance and low political acumen.

When Tao Feng took the notebook and pen and ran to Li Yuanlong's office, Li Yuanlong was not polite and asked in a slight manner: "Do your petition bureau have no money to pay the heating fee? The heating in the petition hall is frozen? What's going on? Explanation."

Tao Feng was stunned when he heard this. It turned out that Deputy Secretary-General Li had secretly gone to the petition bureau. Why didn’t he know?                                              

"This..." Tao Feng said hesitantly: "Yes, there is a problem with the heating pipeline, and I will urge someone to do it immediately."

"Hmph!" Li Yuanlang sneered: "Is there really something wrong with heating? Don't think that you are playing tricks. I don't know. I deliberately make the house cold, just don't want the people to come to them, don't want to listen to their nagging, to put it bluntly, just don't want to solve the sufferings of the people. You are lazy and lazy, and you are not the style of an official who does not put the people first!"

What a good guy, Li Yuanlang said this, which scared Tao Feng very much.

Although Li Yuanlang did not remove his right, he was at least the supervisor. If he reported this to Deputy Mayor Fang, he would be angry, and he would be in trouble.

Seeing this, Tao Feng immediately refused to blame him one after another, and kept admitting his mistakes, and his attitude was quite complimentary.

Li Yuanlang didn't want to get too involved in this matter, so he talked about the lack of water in Building 5 of the machinery factory.

Tao Feng knew about this, but he also had difficulties.

If the government comes forward, the restaurant owner will definitely raise the price. Anyway, the public's money will not be in vain.

Tao Feng could only stabilize the residents of Building 5 first, and he could delay the day.

The water supply company manager doesn't listen to him, and the restaurant owner doesn't even miss him.

The Bureau of Letters and Calls is only responsible for communication and coordination. It has no administrative power and does not speak hard and fart. Others do not treat the Bureau of Letters and Calls as a dish at all.

This is also the fundamental reason why petitions cannot effectively solve the problem.

Before Li Yuanlang could hear Tao Feng's complaints, he interrupted him and asked, "Do you know where Building 5 of the machinery manufacturer is located?"

Tao Feng nodded blankly.

"Let's go and see what's going on there now." Li Yuanlang waved his hand and walked out of the office first.

Half an hour later, the two of them stood downstairs of Building 5.

I saw many people coming in and out of the building, and no matter what they went in or out, everyone was carrying plastic buckets or water-filled objects in their hands.

Look at the white plastic pipe outside the building, there is already a layer of ice on it. It would be strange if it doesn’t freeze on such a cold day.

When he met someone who came out of the building and entered, Li Yuanlang came forward to inquire and inquire about it, and the situation he reported was basically the same as what the old man said.

Li Yuanlang looked at the time and was about to have lunch, so he said to Tao Feng: "Let's go, let's have dinner!"

Tao Feng couldn't figure out what Deputy Secretary-General Li was playing. He came to the scene and asked a few people, but there was no further information. He had to go for lunch and had to drink some wine. Like other leaders, he was confused in the afternoon and did nothing.

The thunder was loud and the rain was light. I thought I could meet a leader who did practical things, and it turned out that the world was as dark as a crow, and all of them were of this kind of virtue.

He thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it out.

He quickly changed his tone and said, "Okay, I just happened to welcome you on behalf of the Bureau of Letters and Calls. I know there is a good pig-killing dish nearby, which tastes authentic, so we'll go there."

Li Yuanlong waved his hand and rejected: "Why bother to look far away? Look at the Xinxian restaurant, let's go to eat there."

After saying that, I took the lead in walking towards the restaurant.

Xinxian Restaurant, why is the name so familiar?

Tao Feng suddenly thought, isn’t this the restaurant that demanded 10,000 yuan?

In an instant, he realized that Li Yuanlang's meal was fake, and the truth was the truth.

Three minutes later, the two walked into the restaurant one after another.

Now it’s the restaurant, there are not many people eating in the restaurant, there are three tables of people in scattered places.

Li Yuanlang picked a corner and sat down, and Tao Feng sat opposite him.

A waiter came to serve them order food immediately.

Li Yuanlang handed over the menu to Tao Feng, and lit a cigarette himself, smoking and observing the dining situation in the restaurant.

Tao Feng ordered four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables, and asked Li Yuanlang if he could drink it?

Li Yuanlang shook his head and said, "There is still something to do in the afternoon, just drink tea."

The waiter was upset that he hadn't sold the wine. He gave the two a blank look and slowly went to inform the kitchen that he was ready to go.
Chapter completed!
