Quanzhou City Finance Director Li Zhenfeng looked at Zhu Yiqun and showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
Zhu Yiqun frowned: "What's going on? Are you having difficulty?"
As he spoke, he became slightly unhappy. After all, he was the mayor. He had just given a vote in front of Yang Weitian and Xu Junran, and now Li Zhenfeng came to ask him questions. This was clearly not giving him face.
People in officialdom like to have face.
What is power?
What is a person in power?
To use an idiom to describe it, it should be like stars overcoming the moon.
The favorite feeling of every person in power who holds power in his hands should be the feeling of being surrounded by stars and the moon. That feeling of being condescending and in control of everything is something that no one in the officialdom can find difficult to refuse and long for. This is why
It’s hard to understand why many leaders always feel uncomfortable when they are about to retire or have already retired, because they have gradually lost their power and the ability to control everything. To be precise, their words are not quite right.
It worked.
The reason why Zhu Yiqun was very unhappy at this time was that he had not reached the point where the sun was declining, so wouldn't it be useless to talk?
Li Zhenfeng has been following Zhu Yiqun for more than a day or two. Of course he understands the temper of his old leader. Judging from his expression and tone, he knows that Zhu Yiqun must be very unhappy now. After all, he has lost face in front of Yang Weitian and Xu Junran, and no one can do it.
will be satisfied.
With a wry smile, Li Zhenfeng said helplessly to Zhu Yiqun: "Mayor, I already squeezed out the money last time. Now the total in the city's finance account is less than 30,000 yuan."
Zhu Yiqun was startled and asked in surprise: "Didn't you say last time that a one million grant was coming soon?"
This matter was mentioned by Li Zhenfeng when he reported to himself some time ago. Quanzhou City applied for a grant from the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, which is about one million. The provincial leaders have already issued instructions, probably in the past few days.
The money was about to fall. That's why he dared to promise Yang Weitian and Xu Junran that he could support them. However, Li Zhenfeng actually said that there was less than 30,000 yuan left on the account, which made Zhu Yiqun a little strange.
Li Zhenfeng smiled bitterly: "Mayor, things have changed."
"Change?" Zhu Yiqun frowned.
Upon seeing this, Li Zhenfeng quickly explained: "It's like this. The plan that had been made originally was sent to the Provincial Department of Finance for review, but there was a problem and it was said that part of our data was unclear. We called it back again."
"In this case, is there any problem?" Zhu Yiqun asked puzzledly.
He is not an expert in this field, so naturally he does not understand what is wrong with Li Zhenfeng's statement. According to Zhu Yiqun's idea, as long as the provincial leaders approve it, the Finance Bureau will just wait and get the money. It is not that he is ignorant, but because in the 1980s
This is the situation. Many people do not do anything except within the scope of their responsibilities.
They do not know much about other aspects of work, just like many leading cadres now. They are very good at party building work, but when it comes to economic development, they are confused and only know how to rely on state-owned enterprises, because this
This is a fixed mindset created by them under the long-term planned economy.
But the actual situation is that sometimes, a layman is a layman, and many things cannot be solved by just one command.
Hearing this, Li Zhenfeng said helplessly: "There's no problem. It's just that the allocation originally intended for our city needs to be re-examined. Because we submitted it as an urban reconstruction project. If the data turns out to be wrong, it needs to be re-checked."
"How long?"
"I don't know. It will take a few days for us to verify it. It will take a few days to report it to the Provincial Department of Finance. The Planning Department and the Review Department have to deal with it. It will take at least a month. We reported the money in May. We originally thought it would only be done this time.
I missed the mark, but I didn’t expect that something went wrong during the review.”
Li Zhenfeng's words made Zhu Yiqun frown. Although he didn't understand financial work, he felt that there must be something wrong here. Why was the money that was about to be received suddenly delayed? This was clearly cooked.
The duck is about to fly.
"Mayor, actually I have some idea about this matter." Seeing Zhu Yiqun's brows furrowed, Li Zhenfeng thought for a while and asked in a low voice.
"Tell me about it." Zhu Yiqun also knew that his old subordinate was a cautious person. If he was not completely sure, he would definitely not say this. It seems that he must have learned some inside information.
Li Zhenfeng slowly explained: "That's it. Originally, the money only needed to be reviewed and signed. As long as the director responsible for the review signed, it could be transferred to our city's account. But it was issued in the hands of the director.
I found out about the situation. An old classmate of mine works in the Provincial Department of Finance. He seemed to have asked Director Lin to delay our payment."
Zhu Yiqun's face suddenly darkened. A director of the Department of Finance dared to deduct money from Quanzhou City. He was very courageous. Do you really think that cadres in provincial capitals can look down on grassroots cadres from above?
After all, he is a dignified senior official at the department level. In his heart, Zhu Yiqun still looks down upon some department-level cadres. If he really got angry, he would dare to ask the director of the Finance Department to slam the table.
Looking at him, Li Zhenfeng knew what his old leader was planning, and he quickly tried to persuade him: "Mayor, they conducted the review completely in accordance with the procedures, and we are not taking any account of it."
After hearing what Li Zhenfeng said, Zhu Yiqun immediately realized that he had taken it for granted.
This kind of review involves financial aspects. Generally speaking, it is possible to delay it for several months or even a year. After all, it is a huge financial allocation. If you come to your door, it can be said that it is for the sake of caution, not to mention
The Finance Department is an important department now. The God of Wealth is in charge of the money bag. Everyone wants to please each other. Not to mention myself, the mayor of Quanzhou City, even the deputy governor and the director of the Finance Department are not included.
Inside the eyes.
It’s just that he doesn’t understand why the people in the Finance Department suddenly want to go against Quanzhou City?
"Old Li, what's going on?" When such a large amount of funding was involved, Zhu Yiqun could no longer remain calm. Although Yang Weitian and Xu Junran were beside him, this was a major event affecting Quanzhou City after all. He
He quickly asked.
Li Zhenfeng shook his head: "I don't know either. Director Lin is said to have a complicated background. I heard that she is the daughter of a deputy minister of the Ministry of Machinery Industry in Beijing, and she has a good background."
Hearing this, Xu Junran, who had been silent since just now, could no longer calm down. He smiled bitterly and filled up his wine glass. He picked it up and said to Li Zhenfeng and Zhu Yiqun: "Mayor, Director Li, this is my fault. I'll take it upon myself first."
Three cups of fine."
After saying that, he raised his neck and drank the entire glass of wine, then poured himself two more glasses in succession and drank them both.
Everyone was stunned. Whether it was Li Zhenfeng or Zhu Yiqun, they all looked at Xu Junran in confusion. Even Yang Weitian asked in surprise: "Xiao Xu, what are you doing?"
After a few glasses of wine, Xu Junran's face turned slightly red. He looked at Li Zhenfeng and said with a bitter smile: "Director Li, I am in front of you today. I don't do secretive things. Director Lin from the Provincial Department of Finance.
She is my god-sister. Her name is Lin Li, and she is the daughter of Vice Minister Lin of the Ministry of Machinery Industry."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Li Zhenfeng and others suddenly changed, and even Zhu Yiqun's expression was startled. After all, he was not someone he could offend against a deputy ministerial-level official.
After being silent for a while, Yang Weitian coughed and asked Xu Junran: "Xiao Xu, this matter has nothing to do with you. Don't blame yourself."
Xu Junran knew that he was trying to save himself, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Secretary Yang, this matter really happened because of me."
With that said, Xu Junran explained to Zhu Yiqun: "Mayor, the 50,000 yuan you allocated to us was correct?"
Zhu Yiqun nodded: "Yes, Secretary Zhang can testify."
Xu Junran smiled bitterly and said: "But what we got was only 45,000 yuan, and then the county government borrowed another 15,000 yuan. In the end, only 30,000 yuan was transferred to our Lijia Town company account."
After hearing these words, Zhu Yiqun's expression suddenly became ugly, and even the expressions of Yang Weitian and Li Zhenfeng became a little weird.
"Old Li, Old Yang, what is going on?" Zhu Yiqun's face was ashen and he stared at his two confidants. Yang Weitian and Li Zhenfeng's faces were not good-looking either, but Yang Weitian was laughing secretly in his heart. No wonder
Xu Junran originally said that he had a way to deal with Qin Guotong, but he was waiting for him here.
Before Yang Weitian and Li Zhenfeng could speak, Xu Junran said: "Mayor, I don't blame the county for this matter. Secretary Yang argued hard at the Standing Committee, and then we got 30,000 yuan, and the remaining 15,000 yuan."
One thousand yuan, County Magistrate Qin said
I personally don’t have any objections to teachers’ salaries and pensions to poor households and to military martyrs’ families. It’s just that the Municipal Finance Bureau deducted 5,000 yuan for no reason. I feel very uncomfortable. This is what the mayor has given you.
Yes, why should I be intercepted?"
He said this very skillfully, portraying himself as a passionate young man who obeyed the organization's opinions but was unhappy in his heart. He also elevated Zhu Yiqun's position, making people think that he was depressed because his ideals could not be realized.
.It must be admitted that the sophisticated soul hidden in Xu Junran's body does have one advantage, that is, his acting skills make no trace of it visible at all.
Originally, Zhu Yiqun was going to get angry. After all, the problem with such a large sum of money was actually related to Xu Junran. But now Xu Junran's performance made Zhu Yiqun temporarily change his mind, and his impression of him became better.
