That evening, Wan Nianda, director of the Finance Bureau, went to a hotel where Mayor Wu Qi often visited and took a report and gave it to Wu Qi.
The report was typed by the Municipal Education Commission, and its theme is to ask the municipal government to solve the renovation problem of schools in mountainous areas of the city. Generally speaking, such a report that requires money will first be sent to Song Hai, the deputy mayor in charge of education, science, culture and health, for his signature, and then
It was forwarded to Executive Vice Mayor Liu Xiangdong for review, and finally Mayor Wu Qi gave instructions.
This report is slightly different. It has the opinions of Vice Mayor Song Hai and the instructions of Executive Vice Mayor Liu Xiangdong. What is even more surprising is that it even has Zhang Siwen's signature on it, but it is missing Mayor Wu Qi.
opinions.
It’s not a violation of the rules. After all, Zhang Siwen is also Wu Qi’s superior, and the circumstances under which this report was released are a bit special. After Zhang Siwen inspected several primary schools in mountainous areas this afternoon, he instructed Hou Ming, director of the Municipal Education Commission, on the spot.
It was handled. Vice Mayor Song Hai and Executive Vice Mayor Liu Xiangdong, who were in charge of education, science, culture and health, were also present.
With the instructions from the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, the report was directly transferred to the Finance Bureau.
Zhang Siwen clearly instructed that the corresponding payment must be sent within one week without delay.
As soon as Wan Nianda saw the report, he immediately called Wu Qi. Just as he was about to get off work, Wu Qi told Wan Nianda not to come to his office. He would go to Jianghai Hotel for dinner, play cards and have fun together tonight.
An appointment has been made.
Wan Nianda has nothing to say.
The 50-year-old Wan Nianda is slightly plump and has a rich face. Because he has been working in the Finance Bureau all year round, his face is red and he is always smiling. Wu Qi single-handedly promoted him from the deputy director. After all, he is also Wu Qi's core supporter.
"Secretary Zhang is so generous. With one stroke of his pen, it's more than three hundred thousand. Do you think it's more than thirty yuan?" Wan Nianda shook her head disdainfully.
The Finance Secretary is like this. As long as he sees a report asking for money, he won't worry. People are asking for money everywhere, and this company is not easy to deal with.
Wu Qi smiled, put the report on the table, and said, "No matter what, this money must be given. Otherwise, teachers all over the city will make a fuss, and it will not end well."
Even though he said this, Wu Qi was also upset because Zhang Siwen's hand was stretched too long!
You, a dignified municipal party committee secretary, don't care about the party committee, and want to interfere in government affairs all day long. Do you really think that I, the mayor, are just a decoration?
At the same time, Wu Qibai was puzzled by this incident. Didn't Zhang Siwen go to the Dongcheng villa? Why did he get involved with the construction of the school again? What on earth was Zhang Siwen planning?
Three days later, something happened that made Wu Qi even more depressed.
Wu Qi frowned as he looked at the written opinions on the issues of the secretary's office meeting sent from the municipal party committee office. The Antai City secretary's office meeting has formed certain rules. In principle, it is held irregularly, but generally it is held once a week to discuss and resolve some differences.
Important issues. The secretary's office meeting is also called a huddle meeting. It usually consists of the secretary, mayor, deputy secretary, organization director, and secretary-general.
Wu Qi saw in the written opinions on the topics of this secretary's office meeting the topic of comprehensive renovation of primary and secondary schools in remote rural areas of the city. This topic was raised by Song Hai, the deputy mayor in charge of education, science, culture and health. Zhang Siwen personally went to the mountainous area
, inspected the situation of a mountain village primary school, Wu Qi knew all these, and it was understandable that Song Hai raised such an issue at this time. However, Wu Qi was still a little unhappy. Logically, Zhang Siwen should be in the meeting
Before, I had to talk to him, the deputy squad leader, to vent my anger, and then I called Song Hai over to discuss it together before making a decision. Now I left Wu Qi aside and went directly to the secretary's office meeting for discussion. Zhang Siwen's arrogance has been clearly revealed.
.
Wu Qi sneered a few times, threw the written opinions in his hand on the desk, just like throwing away a rag, picked up the phone and started dialing.
As soon as the call was connected, Wu Qi straightened his face and regained his majestic expression. Although the other party could not see him through the phone line, his tone of voice was naturally majestic, and the person on the phone could definitely feel it.
Although Wu Qi didn't care about Zhang Siwen's provocation, he still had to make the necessary preparations and not fight an unprepared battle. This is also a habit Wu Qi has developed over the years. In official circles, when he gets promoted and gets rich, he plays with women.
To be able to do everything right, you have to have some real ability. Silly cannons can't play officialdom.
Wu Qi made more than one phone call and communicated with almost four or five people. The people on the phone were not 250 people. They were all big shots in Haoyang City. They were the ones who kept their word, and they were all Wu Qi's best.
A trusted confidant, Wu Qi gave detailed instructions on the phone, and his expression gradually returned to normal.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, Zhang Siwen walked into the secretary's conference room on time, and Yu Yan accompanied him as the recorder.
Wu Qi hasn't come yet.
Everyone noticed that Zhang Siwen's brows furrowed. Although he relaxed quickly, the other participants still keenly caught this subtle change.
After a while, Wu Qi slowly came to the conference room.
Zhang Siwen raised his wrist and looked at his watch. He was already forty, and Wu Qi was 10 minutes late.
"Comrade Wu Qi, what is so important? Do we need to study it together and see how to deal with it?" Zhang Siwen smiled and said calmly, even with a little concern.
As soon as this was said, everyone had a strange expression on their faces.
Secretary Zhang is not an economical person, and he didn’t intend to let Wu Qi get away with it like this. But thinking about it carefully, Zhang Siwen’s question makes sense. Since this matter is so important, more important than the secretary’s office meeting, the secretary expressed concern, which is very important.
That's reasonable.
You calmly gave Wu Qi an embarrassment. Didn't you deliberately neglect me? Then don't blame me for not giving you face!
Wu Qi frowned, and the smile he pretended disappeared for a moment, showing a very stern look, and said, "Secretary Zhang, this is indeed a serious problem. The Finance Bureau is not having an easy time.
."
Zhang Siwen remained calm and asked calmly, "Why is life in the Finance Bureau so difficult?"
"Haha, Secretary Zhang is in charge of the municipal party committee. He may not have a clear understanding of our city's financial foundation. Now the whole city is actively undergoing transformation and construction. Every unit is crowded with the Finance Bureau to ask for money. The entire Finance Bureau's books are only five
1.1 million in cash, of which 3.2 million is a special fund to be used for road construction in the summer. Not a penny can be touched. The remaining 1.9 million is allocated today to pay 820,000 in arrears to teachers and staff.
.There are only 1.08 million cash left that can be mobilized. This mere 1 million may not even be enough to support the end of this month. The salaries and bonuses of the cadres must be paid. It is difficult... just now
Director Wan of the Finance Bureau discussed this issue in my office. I discussed it with him for a long time, but couldn't come up with a good solution..."
Wu Qi sighed and shook his head as he spoke, looking worried.
Several other people had strange looks on their faces.
Wu Qi's words sounded very "concerned about the country and the people", but in fact they were quite connotative, and every sentence was directed at Zhang Siwen.
Wu Qi pointed at Zhang Siwen's nose and said: You are a secretary, you only know how to approve money, but you don't know anything else. You approved more than 300,000 yuan with just one note. You are happy, but where does the money come from?
You know? Who can’t just sign?
Secondly, Wu Qi told Zhang Siwen very clearly that the Finance Bureau is my territory and the Finance Director is my person. If you want to bypass me and give instructions directly to the Finance Bureau, you have to accept the credit.
No, the finances are in difficulty. Director Wan of the Finance Bureau did not report to you. Instead, he went to my office, put aside the secretary's office meeting, and discussed it for a long time.
In the eyes of Director Wan, he only recognizes Mayor Wu
Who is Secretary Zhang?
Next, Wu Qi also wants to convey a message to everyone here. In Antai City, I, Wu Qi, am still the most powerful municipal government leader. Don’t think that Zhang Siwen’s recent strength will change the situation!
Zhang Siwen smiled slightly and said, "Financial difficulties are the same everywhere. If there is too much money and there is no place to spend it, it can only be said that our taxes are set unreasonably and a lot of money is collected that should not be collected."
This understatement caused the expressions of everyone present to change suddenly, including Wu Qi, who all looked at Zhang Siwen in surprise.
