There are some people and things that we can't afford to offend and we can hide from, but there are some people and things that we can't afford to offend and we can't hide from, so we can only bite the bullet and face them head-on.

Xiang Tianliang understood that he had to jump out of the big trap of the County Education Committee.

Secretary Ding Wentong knew how to drive, and Xiang Tianliang sat in the back seat. Ding Wentong drove the car and drove around a few streets in Chengguan Town.

There was no specific goal, and Ding Wentong didn't ask. When he got in the car, he told Xiang Tianliang that he could drive wherever he wanted.

There are only a few streets in Chengguan Town, running east-west along both sides of the Xiaonan River. It takes less than an hour to cover all the streets that can be driven by a car.

"Leader, it's time for us to have lunch."

"Go to the county education committee and find a small restaurant."

The County Education Committee is located in the most prosperous area of ​​Chengguan Town. In front of it is the riverside square. On one side is the county passenger transportation center and the county transportation company. On the other side is the county agricultural and fishery comprehensive market and small commodity market. Next to the riverside square is the Xiaonan River. The square There is a stone bridge on each side, connecting the residential areas on the north bank of Xiaonan River. Outside the two stone bridges, there are the Inland River Passenger Terminal and the Inland River Freight Terminal.

Xiang Tianliang is no stranger here. It can be said that in the entire Chengguan Town, except for the County No. 1 Middle School, this is the place Xiang Tianliang is most familiar with. He studied in the county for three years and had to go home every week. Jinchuan Town did not have roads at that time, so commuting Between Chengguan Town and Jinchuan Town, there are only two river passenger boats on the Jinchuan River. The Jinchuan River and Xiaonan River are connected at the Chengguan Town Inland River Passenger Terminal. Xiang Tianliang took a boat home from here on Saturday afternoon, carrying a week's worth of dirty clothes. In the afternoon, I took a boat back to school carrying two kilograms of rice and five kilograms of dried sweet potatoes.

On both sides of the square along the river, there is a row of two floors, most of which are snack bars and restaurants.

Ding Wentong accompanied Xiang Tianliang into a small restaurant, sat down at a table by the window on the ground floor, and each ordered a bowl of noodles to eat.

"Wentong, call Li Chishui, director of the county education committee, to come over." Xiang Tianliang ordered while eating.

"Just now?"

"Haha, let him come over to pay the bill. It's just two bowls of noodles. Can he still afford it?"

Ding Wentong took out his mobile phone and dialed the number.

Li Chishui came over soon.

"Oh, leader, why are you eating here?" Li Chishui hurriedly asked to move towards the sky. This young leader was different from the leaders he had seen. Not only did he not go in at the door of the Education Committee, he even stayed in the small restaurant. Meal.

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said nothing, just holding the bowl and gobbling it down.

Ding Wentong smiled and said, "Director Li, the leader asked you to help us pay for the face. It's a treat for you."

"How can this work? How can this work?" Li Chishui said repeatedly.

Xiang Tianliang put down his bowl and chopsticks and wiped his mouth, "Lao Li, have you eaten?"

"I've eaten."

"Okay, then come and sit in my car."

"Leader, come to our Education Committee building and sit for a while."

"No, no." He waved to Tianliang and smiled as he walked, "Lao Li, you don't know who I am. Firstly, I don't like to go to public places. Secondly, I don't like to drink and eat. Thirdly, I don't like to talk to others. People shake hands and say hello, and I don’t like to write articles and make reports, haha, so remember, don’t let me do things I don’t like in the future.”

The three people got into the car heading towards Tianliang.

Pointing to the County Education Committee Building opposite, Xiang Tianliang said with a smile: "Lao Li, you are crying for poverty while guarding a gold ingot."

"Leader, how do you say this?"

"Wentong, tell me."

Ding Wentong, who was in the driver's seat, said: "The County Education Committee building was built more than 120 years ago. It was originally a church built by foreigners. In the early days of Binhai County's liberation, it was the location of the Military Control Commission. In the 1950s, it was returned to the Commerce Bureau. Since the 1960s, many county-level agencies have moved here one after another, including 11 departments and agencies including the County People's Congress, County CPPCC, Education Committee, Sports Committee, and Agriculture Bureau. Starting from the late 1970s, other departments have moved out one after another. In 1983, only the County Education Committee remained. Now, in addition to the County Education Committee, the County Education Committee building also includes the County Continuing Education School, the County Normal School, the County Correspondence School and the Television and Broadcasting School."

Xiang Tianliang hummed: "Wentong, pick up the important things."

"The County Education Committee building is rectangular, covering an area of ​​20,000 square meters. The whole building has five floors. After the reconstruction in the 1980s, the County Education Committee building is divided into three courtyards: the front, middle and back. The front courtyard is an office building, and the middle courtyard is several buildings. The school is located in a building with the largest backyard, which is rented to nearby shops. According to comrades from the County Education Committee, a total of 10,000 square meters of buildings in the County Education Committee building are for rent, and the annual rent is 600,000 yuan."

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said: "Lao Li, the little people in your county education committee are living a good life. Including the school staff and the chefs in the education committee canteen, the total number of people is only 200, and there are 600,000 people in this year. The rental income, the welfare of your county education committee must be good, don’t you think you are holding on to a gold ingot and crying for poverty?”

Li Chishui smiled sheepishly, "The leader knows too much."

Xiang Tianliang smiled, "Lao Li, let me ask you, has the property rights issue of the County Education Committee Building been resolved?"

Li Chishui said: "In April last year, with the approval of the County People's Congress, the property rights of the County Education Committee Building were clearly owned by the County Education Committee."

Xiang Tianliang asked again: "Besides this office building, what other properties does the County Education Committee have?"

"There are two other places. One is a piece of land near the town entrance, about 60 acres, just between the road leading to the city and the Xiaonan River. It was approved five years ago to build a county further education school and a county normal school. , because there is no money, it has been left there uncultivated, and now the grass is more than a person tall. The second is the former Chengguan Middle School in the east of the town, which covers an area of ​​52 acres. After Chengguan Middle School was merged into the County No. 1 Middle School, the property rights were transferred to the County Education Committee. After the takeover, the buildings are still there and have always been empty. Of course, they are now rented out, and the annual rent is about 350,000 yuan. However, according to the original agreement, after the county and Chengguan Middle School merged, within ten years, the original Chengguan Middle School The rent of the middle school belongs to the county.”

Hearing this, Xiang Tianliang's eyes widened, "Lao Li, Lao Li, your Education Committee's property is huge. It can be saved. It can be saved."

"What can be saved?" Li Chishui didn't understand for a moment.

Xiang Tianliang grinned and said: "Lao Li, what I'm saying is that the arrears of wages for the county's teaching staff have been settled, and the county's dilapidated school buildings have also been funded with renovations."

"Really?" Li Chishui asked in surprise.

He nodded and asked Tianliang: "Old Zhou, I have a few questions to ask you. Please answer me truthfully."

"Ask, leader."

"First, how many votes can you control in your Education Committee Party Committee?"

"There are nine members of the Education Committee Party Committee. I am ashamed that the three deputy directors did not listen to me. However, the Director of the Education Committee Office listened to me, the Chairman of the Education Committee Labor Union, the Principal of the County No. 1 Middle School, the Principal of the County Normal School, and the Principal of the County Continuing Education School. They all also listened to me. Listen to me."

"So, it's six to three?"

"Yes."

Xiang Tianliang nodded and asked: "Lao Li, someone told you that the three properties and properties owned by the County Education Committee took out the County Education Committee building and the sixty acres of wasteland and turned them into more than 100 million yuan. Are you willing to use it to solve the arrears of wages for teaching staff and the renovation of dilapidated school buildings across the county, and to change the former Chengguan Middle School into the Office Building of the Education Committee?"

"Really worth 100 million?"

"I estimate it gross, but it should actually be more than 100 million."

Li Chishui said: "Of course I am willing?"

Xiang Tianliang asked with a smile: "I'm afraid it's not enough for you, Lao Li, to agree alone?"

"Yes, according to the agreement between the County People's Congress and the county government at that time, in order to deal with all the properties and real estate owned by the County Education Committee, it must pass three tests: the first is the Party Committee, the second is the trade union, and the third is the County Faculty and Staff General Assembly. "

Xiang Tianliang smiled and asked again: "Is it a big problem to pass the three levels?"

"The party committee proposed that there is no problem with this. The trade union initially discussed that this level is a bit troublesome, but as long as we do the work, we should be able to get over it. The county faculty and staff meeting finally decided that this level is no problem at all. All schools in the county have There are dilapidated buildings and wages are being owed, and no one would disagree."

Xiang Tianliang said happily: "Then it's settled. You, Lao Li, will be responsible for political and ideological work and unite all colleagues in Binhai's education sector. I will be responsible for making money and turn your Education Committee building into nothing."

Li Chishui said worriedly: "There is only one problem, do we still have to think of a solution?"

"What's the problem?"

"This is equivalent to exchanging land rights. In the end, the county government has to agree to the county magistrate's signature. However, County Magistrate Chen has a hard time getting through that."

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said: "I will handle this matter. You, Lao Li, must keep your mouth shut first. Don't yell at me before the God of Wealth opens his mouth."

Li Chishui hurriedly promised, "I will obey the leader's orders."

"Do you have any more questions?"

Li Chishui asked: "I want to ask, where does your money come from?"

"Haha...money comes from money."

"Invite investment?"

Xiang Tianliang nodded, "I'm looking for a God of Wealth to come over. The God of Wealth is someone even the county committee and government would not dare to offend."

Full of joy and expectation, Li Chishui got out of the car and left.

The Santana sedan is on its way home.

Ding Wentong, who was driving, glanced in the rearview mirror and stopped talking.

"Wentong, if you have anything to say in the future, just say it and don't act like a stinky intellectual."

Ding Wentong smiled and said: "Leader, Director Li's worry is not unreasonable."

"Well, are you worried that County Magistrate Chen won't nod?"

"right."

"Then according to you, is there any way to get County Magistrate Chen to agree?"

Ding Wentong hesitated and said: "I heard that the county magistrate's office meeting will be held tomorrow to study this year's investment promotion work."

Xiang Tianliang said with a smile: "So what? Our Binhai is a poor county, and the transportation is inconvenient. The so-called investment promotion is at most the few overseas Chinese who have returned from Binhai. As far as I know, the investment promotion in recent years The biggest achievement is a coastal building, which is purely consumption-oriented, rather than industrial-type that creates employment."

"Yes, Binhai Tower did not bring many job opportunities, but it brought in a high-consumption lifestyle."

"Hey, please tell me some specific suggestions."

Ding Wen channel: "For tomorrow's meeting, I suggest you not to show your cards first. It's best, it's best to play tricks."

Xiang Tianliang's eyes lit up and he laughed.

"Wentong, it seems that you, an intellectual, have as many twists and turns in your belly as I do."
