Chapter 68: Exerting Pressure (Emergency Request for Collection)
Looking at the gift on the table, Zhang Qingyun slightly furrowed her brow. In official circles, giving gifts is a matter of etiquette. When superiors give gifts to subordinates, they emphasize "the gift is light, but the sentiment is heavy." When subordinates give gifts to superiors, they stress humility and avoiding showiness. Generally speaking, officials giving gifts to each other should be low-key, of course, this only refers to the gifts on the surface, while everyone understands the underlying meaning in private.
Wang Minghui's gift was obviously too ostentatious, two soft Chinese cigarettes, two bottles of authentic French red wine, packed in a wooden box. In a small county town like Yongping, such gifts are extremely valuable. It seems that the county committee and government have invested a lot in recent years, and the Construction Bureau is indeed lucrative.
"Wang, I'd be delighted if you could come and sit with me. As for this gift, I dare not accept it!" Zhang Qingyun said seriously.
Wang Minghui's face changed slightly, and as Wu De had expected, Zhang Qingyun's words were clearly evasive. It seemed that Li Gang and the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission had gotten involved this time, preparing to make a big deal out of Gao Jianyu's engineering project.
"Director Zhang, this... since you insist, I won't be polite either." Wang Minghui sighed and said, "Nowadays, there are few cadres like you in Yongping."
"Director Wang, you're being too polite! You're even higher in rank than me, and yet you still bring such an expensive gift when passing by my place. I'm afraid I won't be able to return the favor!" Zhang Qingyun said with a hearty laugh. The atmosphere in the living room relaxed a bit.
Wang Minghui said, "I came to inform you that the water diversion project is feasible, but it may require a lot of funding. We've made some rough calculations, including the cost of relocating households, expanding the reservoir, and reinforcing and repairing the canals. It will definitely cost 3 million yuan, which will put a lot of pressure on the county's finances!"
Zhang Qingyun's eyelid twitched, and he silently cursed himself for being self-righteous. What was Wang Minghui coming to ask about? This guy was clearly here to show off his power, clinging to the financial difficulties and hinting that Lei Gang should not use the special funds for construction projects.
Zhang Qingyun's mind was racing, quickly calculating that the Road Bridge Company would have to pay 100 million, plus the 30 million spent on intercepting, and the county finance would have to come up with 130 million at once. Even if there were loans from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, it wouldn't be enough! How could they not use special funds? The special funds for the Construction Bureau couldn't be touched, but what about the special funds for returning farmland to forests?
"Director Wang, you can rest assured that the county leaders have already figured out the funding issue. Since the diversion project is feasible, the Gaodianyu Bridge project will basically be settled. This still needs to be entrusted to your brother to write a report!" Zhang Qingyun said.
Wang Minghui looked at Zhang Qingyun deeply, his heart was uncertain, and Zhang Qingyun's reaction was clearly beyond his expectation. Could the county finance really afford to pay this amount of money? Of course, even if he had doubts, he couldn't ask again, after all, Zhang Qingyun wasn't the person in charge, asking him this question would be out of line.
"Director Wang, you've taken great pains with the Gao Jianyu project. Honestly, this project has run into trouble and exposed many problems. As for financial issues, it's not even worth mentioning - we're just patching up holes here and there, but the gaps are getting bigger and bigger. Once someone calls us out on it, the whole thing will be paralyzed."
Apart from financial issues, the project supervision, acceptance and communication with the road bridge company are all problematic, some of which are quite serious. The county party committee and government are currently working to resolve these issues, after all, it's better late than never!
"After all, we should focus our energy on economic development. The county government cannot always be the fire brigade, and financial resources cannot always be used to fill holes. So, the work ability and style of functional departments are crucial... Hehe, I've gone a bit off topic."
Wang Minghui was shocked and his flesh crept, Zhang Qingyun's words directly pointed to the relevant departments responsible for the Gao Jianyu project! As the head of the Construction Bureau, how could he be unrelated? Looking at the Chinese cigarettes and foreign wine on the table again, he felt particularly dazzling.
After Wang Minghui left with a thoughtful expression, Zhang Qingyun sneered and thought to himself: No wonder Wu De said this morning that the economic construction plan for this year is not going well, he wants to personally supervise it. It turns out that it's just a change of soup but not medicine! He still wants to grab the money bag.
Just thinking about this, Zhang Qingyun felt a bit depressed. Gao Jianyu made such a big fuss just because of an experimental shot from the Wu De Department, and he wanted to give Lijian a warning. Lijian had barely stabilized the situation, but as soon as he returned from sick leave, many things in Yongping still had to be approved by him. This old man was indeed formidable.
Of course, Li Gang also had some gains. At least his relationship with Huang Songshan eased, and Wu Xue Shu from the Finance Bureau listened to him. Moreover, if Li Gang could successfully handle the Gao Jianyu incident, his prestige would also be enhanced, and he would have no problem standing firm in Yongping.
Of course, all this still depends on the attitude of Tianhe Road Bridge Company. If Tianhe Road Bridge makes trouble in between, the situation will remain not optimistic.
Walking into the bedroom, Zhang Qingyun took out a USB drive from the drawer and plugged it into the computer. He opened the player, and the picture inside flickered, but was still clear. Wang HuaHua and Zhang Qian were able to edit the footage to this extent, which was quite professional.
This video records the situation of three illegal small coal mines in Qinghe Town, violating regulations and operating secretly. The scene shows workers working at the construction site, the exterior of the coal mine, the facilities of the coal mine, including the scene where the Qinghe police station helps them cover up the truth.
The dialogue in the video is all original sound. According to Zhang Qingyun's instructions, some key figures' faces in the video were mosaicked.
"What if I upload this online or send it to the TV station, what kind of effect would it have?" Zhang Qingyun thought wickedly, this is the atomic bomb that triggered the earthquake in Yongping's officialdom!
The video playback is complete, Zhang Qingyun is satisfied with the mouth, and for him, the biggest problem is how to use this thing. Giving it to Li Gang seems a bit immature now, he's afraid that Li Gang can't resist the temptation and make an early move, then Yongping will really have an earthquake, and at that time, Li Gang may not be able to control the situation.
But if this thing is not utilized, Zhang Qingyun is worried that something will go wrong. What if the coal mine construction goes awry and the higher-ups investigate, then it will be exposed and Li Gang will also be punished, and this thing will lose its value.
"Qingyun, has the guest left? I'll go cook right away?" Geng Shuang pushed open the door and said gently.
Zhang Qingyun was startled, and hastily put away the things, then beckoned to her to sit beside him. After Geng Shuang sat down, Zhang Qingyun took her hand, fondly stroking it, but his mind was still thinking about what had just happened. It wasn't until after a while that he said:
"Let's go out and eat today! You always cook for me, these little hands are getting a bit rough."
Geng Shuang nodded gently, she knew Zhang Qingyun was thinking about something, and didn't say much either, just leaned softly on Zhang Qingyun's chest, with a very sweet expression. Zhang Qingyun felt a bit tired, not wanting to move at all, and also didn't speak again. Like this, the two quietly snuggled up together, in silence, basking in their own peaceful and warm world...
