First of all, I would like to thank 1148 and Ants in the Rain for their big red envelopes. You are the lucky stars of Fengdu. Fengdu once again expresses my deep gratitude!
Xu Fan said: "Okay, then we will fight side by side from now on."
Chen Shan said: "Of course, the same goes for Shen Hao. Why didn't you tell me that you were here? Really?"
Xu Fan smiled and said: "I didn't tell him when I came here. If I had known you earlier, I wouldn't have let him leave the day before yesterday. However, he will come again later, and then you brothers can reminisce about the past, haha." .
Chen Shan naturally said yes. Then the conversation changed: "County Magistrate Xu." Xu Fan waved his hand and said, "Don't be so outspoken, just call me Xu Fan or Brother Fan, big brother, haha."
Chen Shan looked straight and said: "No, this is working time. You are my leader when it comes to work. I can't mess around. Let's call it in private."
Xu Fan thought for a while and said, "Okay then, keep talking."
Chen Shan said: "County Magistrate Xu, the case the day before yesterday has been identified. The main culprit is Song Fantong. He is currently recovering in the hospital. I have sent someone to watch over him and recorded a statement against him. What should you do about the past things? Give me instructions."
Xu Fan said: "Find out some of the major things he committed in the past and send him in. Forget it about Zheng Ercan and Chang Ping. Now these two people have been punished. Don't mention them in the case. I have their own use."
Xu Fan thought for a while and continued with a deep expression: "Find a few of your most trustworthy, stable and experienced subordinates to secretly investigate the illegal mining of rare earths. Be careful not to alert the enemy. You can only investigate secretly and tell me the results."
Shen Shan knew that this matter involved a lot, and he was naturally aware of the risks involved, so he nodded solemnly. Finally, Xu Fan said that he would have dinner at the Black Horse Hotel tonight and asked Shen Shan to go there too.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, in a private room of the Black Horse Hotel, Xu Fan, Chang Wanli, Zheng Zhitai, and Acting Director of the Public Security Bureau Shen Shan were sitting on the sofa drinking tea and chatting.
Xu Fan asked Chang Wanli: "Secretary Chang, how is Chang Ping? Stop making trouble, right?" Chang Wanli said with a smile: "Well, he is obedient now. Miss Wang came to comfort her before leaving yesterday. I was so happy that I didn’t fall asleep in the middle of the night. Oh, this kid can learn well, thank you very much."
Zheng Zhitai continued: "Yes, Miss Fang also visited my boy yesterday. The two of them were talking and laughing. Miss Fang encouraged him again before leaving. The boy was very energetic and wished he could get there right away. I’m leaving the hospital and going to work, haha, Brother Fan, I can’t thank you enough for your kindness.”
Xu Fan smiled and said: "You're welcome. As long as they can change, it will be a gratifying good thing. Let's have three drinks together in a while, haha."
Just as he was talking, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then the waiter opened the door and a man walked in.
When Chang Wanli and Zheng Zhitai saw the person coming, they were so surprised that they stood up with their mouths wide open.
Xu Fan smiled and said to the visitor: "Sister Yu, you are finally here, you can make us wait easier, haha"
When Qu Cuiyu came in and saw Chang, Zheng and Shen Shan, they were also surprised, but their expressions remained unchanged and she said with a smile: "Brother came first, eh? Secretary Chang and Director Zheng, eh, and Director Shen I’m here too, that’s great, it looks like we have to have a few more drinks, haha,,,”.
Chang Wanli and Zheng Zhitai were startled when they heard Qu Cuiyu calling Xu Fan brother, but they immediately calmed down and shook hands with Qu Cuiyu with a smile. Chang Wanli said with a smile: "We wanted to drink, so we dragged Brother Fan here. Kill him, I didn’t expect Secretary Qu to be Brother Fan’s sister, so you have to foot the bill tonight, hahaha.”
Qu Cuiyu suddenly felt enlightened when she heard that Chang Wanli also called Xu Fan his younger brother. She thought that what happened last night seemed to be very fruitful for Xu Fan. She was really happy thinking about this, so she said: "Since my brother is also your brother, and
Secretary Chang and Director Zheng are both older than me, so you should be the eldest brother to pay the bill no matter what, hahahaha."
While he was smiling, there was another knock on the door. The door opened, and a beautiful middle-aged woman about 40 years old walked in. Everyone knew this person, she was Ye Na, the deputy county magistrate in charge of family planning and agriculture.
Everyone exchanged pleasantries and banter for a while, and soon understood each other tacitly. Here, there was no longer any official position, with Xu Fan as the center, and a new team alliance in Shitou County was quietly established.
When everyone arrived, Xu Fan ordered the waiter to serve the food. When the food was served and the wine was poured, Xu Fan stood up and said with a smile: "Dear leaders, since I came to Shitou County, I have received a lot of benefits both in work and in life.
I have nothing to repay for the concern and care of all the leaders here. I have prepared a little wine tonight to express my gratitude. Come on, let me toast you all." Everyone stood up and raised their glasses politely, clinking them and toasting.
.
After sitting down, Chang Wanli said: "Di Fan is young and promising. At present, our county's economic development plan is at the helm of Fan Di, and it will take off within a year! We should work together to support Fan Di's work. Do you think this is right?
?hehe"
Qu Cuiyu said with a smile: "This is natural. There are locals and foreigners here, but whether they are locals or foreigners, since we all work together, we have the responsibility to do our best for the people here. At present, our county
It has become the last poor county in the province. If we continue to work hard to change this backwardness, we will not be able to explain it to the party or the people. There are various reasons why it could not develop in the past, and everyone is well aware of it.
Obviously. Now that Brother Fan is here and we see the hope of development, we should fully support his work. This is natural."
The two secretaries made their words clear, and naturally everyone agreed.
Ye Na said: "Yes, if the economy cannot develop, everything becomes meaningless, just like the family planning and agriculture that I am in charge of. Because farmers have no money, they can only grow and raise whatever they want.
Utopia: apart from growing some rice in the meager paddy fields every year, I can only raise a few chickens and ducks at home. I can't even afford to buy a piglet, let alone a piglet, if I want to raise a pig.
They have to spend money to buy feed. Farmers have no hope and can only go out to work. Now most of the young laborers in the county have gone out, leaving only a large number of left-behind children and empty-nesters at home. Family planning work is also very difficult.
It’s not easy to do, it’s really miserable.” After hearing these words, everyone felt heavy in their hearts and fell silent for a moment.
Zheng Zhitai spoke at this time: "Yes, I am in charge of finance, and I know the financial situation of our county best. Since we have no industry, and the agricultural tax was canceled a few years ago, our county's fiscal revenue is not enough to even pay wages.
The ones who owe the most are not civil servants or public institution personnel, but teachers! As far as I know, teachers’ wages have been owed for almost a year. Without salary income, even basic life is not guaranteed, so how can we talk about teaching and educating people?
What? Alas,,".
Chen Shan answered: "Isn't it? Even our Public Security Bureau can't pay wages. Usually some fines and other things have to be turned over to the treasury. The bureau wants to buy some equipment, but it doesn't have the money to replace a car. Now it's better to use They are still those old Santanas, and they still owe tens of thousands of dollars in repair fees from the repair shop. If the police force cannot keep up, the security problem will become a big problem, and even vicious cases like the two days ago will occur. If we don't carry out one It’s impossible to crack down hard, but we need financial support to carry it out. Alas.”
Xu Fan looked stern after hearing this, and said seriously: "After listening to what everyone said, I realized how bad the people's lives are. Well, what I didn't say is that since we are now officials, we have the responsibility to pay the owed wages. Let's improve the living and working environment of farmers. Tomorrow I will go to the city and province to ask for money. First, we will improve the access to the capital, and then we will attract investment. Director Zheng, look over there. Can you allocate some money to the Public Security Bureau to improve public security first? Otherwise, if businessmen come here in the future and something like this happens again, our county will be notorious."
Zheng Zhitai nodded and said: "Okay, Bureau Shen will submit the report tomorrow. After County Magistrate Guo approves it, I can allocate funds, but you can't be so bold as to say, how about half a million, haha."
Chen Shan was overjoyed and picked up the wine glass and said to Zheng Zhitai: "That's enough. I'll save some. Thank you, Director Zheng. I respect you."
Qu Cuiyu stood up and raised his glass: "Then let's wish Brother Fan a great victory and an early triumph. Come on, have a drink." Everyone responded unanimously and clinked another glass.
