Chapter 1330: Mayor Dong is mad
Chapter 1330: Mayor Dong is mad
Inside the office.
Six people were shouting inside.
They barged into Dong Xuebing’s office and started questioning him. The 40 million RMB fund made everyone crazy.
“Mayor Dong! Just say the word!”
“Our village must receive the money today!”
“The villagers are going to tear down our buildings!”
“We are not leaving if we don’t get the funds today.”
The village leaders raised their voices. The door was opened, and many County Government staff gathered outside. Some called the security.
Dong Xuebing suppressed his anger and said. “I told you I don’t know about your village’s situation, and you must send your application. It is useless to come to me. Go and talk to your Township and ask them to send in an application report.”
The old man said. “We called the Finance Department, and they refused to issue the fund.”
Dong Xuebing said. “The Finance Department must review your application. They will not issue the funds based on what you say. Go back and wait for news.”
“We cannot wait any longer.”
“It’s been more than one week.”
“We will not get financial aid if the County did not give the township funds.”
Are they here to ask for money?
They are here to rob the County!
Did they think the County’s money had dropped from the sky? All of them want a share.
Dong Xuebing was mad. These people were unreasonable.
Dong Xuebing has a bad temper. He banged his desk and stood up. “Stop making a scene here! Why didn’t you all complain in the past? You all come after the Central government issued the fund to our county. How did you all live before the County got this fund? Huh? Get lost if you cannot handle it. I can find others to replace you easily. You all come because the Township asked you all to come? Then I will ask you to go to the Central Government!”
The old man was furious. “We will go to the Central Government if we don’t get the funds.”
Dong Xuebing pointed at him and shouted at the County Government staff members outside. “Call Secretary Yao over. I also need a driver from the transport department!”
Yao Cui ran over a few moments later. “Are you looking for me, Mayor Dong?”
A driver from the transport department followed behind. He was confused.
Dong Xuebing pointed at those villagers. “Xiao Yao! I am giving you a mission. Send these villagers to the Central Government by car now.”
The villagers were stunned.
Yao Cui and the driver were shocked.
Dong Xuebing looked at these villagers coldly. “I am saying this now. You all must go today, no matter what!” He turned to Yao Cui. “Send them now!”
Mayor Dong is mad.
The village leaders got scared.
The old man was still angry but dared not say another word.
Yao Cui looked at the villagers. “Please come with me.”
The villagers do not dare to go. They were only making empty threats.”
Dong Xuebing ignored them and said to Yao Cui. “Give me their Town Mayor’s number.”
Yao Cui took out her phone and called the Town Mayor before passing her phone to Dong Xuebing.
“Hello, Secretary Yao.”
“I am Dong Xuebing!”
“Ah, Mayor Dong. Good afternoon.”
Dong Xuebing started scolding. “You dare to instigate your village leaders to come and create trouble at the County Government! What are you doing? Huh? Submit your resignation letter if you cannot control your people! How dare you let your people come to the County Government? This is skip-level reporting! Is your Township for show?”
“No… no… we don’t know about this.”
“You don’t know? Then what do you know?”
“Please calm down. I will go and handle the situation now.” The Town Mayor was sweating when he heard Mayor Dong was mad.
Dong Xuebing returned the phone to Yao Cui after hanging up. He glanced at those villager leaders before turning to Civil Affairs Bureau Chief Xu Xuelong. “Chief Xu! Stop complaining to me. I know all departments are facing difficulties. Many departments do not have vehicles, too. Even the Deputy Mayors have to submit applications to use a car, and we might not even get it. What’s wrong with not having cars? Your department cannot operate without a car? Your men are upset without a car, and you cannot handle them? Then I think this is not a car issue. It is your leadership. The Civil Affairs Department is not under me. However, you can submit your resignation letter to your superior if you cannot handle your men. I can pass it to your leader if you want.”
Xu Xuelong was mad and wanted to retort. But he saw Dong Xuebing’s face and kept quiet.
Dong Xuebing calmed down a little after scolding them. When he was about to drink water, he saw a group of people downstairs. One of them was Chen Xiaomei, who had left earlier. Five men surrounded her, and they were complaining to her. She tried to leave but failed.
Dong Xuebing knew those people were asking for money.
Dong Xuebing’s anger rose again.
He turned and stormed out of his office. He went downstairs and out of the office building.
Yao Cui quickly followed.
A few County Government staff members followed.
“Chief Chen. You must give me an answer today.”
“Old Chen, you know our difficulties. The County has so much money. Why is it so difficult to give us one million RMB?”
“Xiao Chen, please check our application. Why is it not approved?”
“Stop trying to push us away. This is a small matter. I brought the application form with me. You need to sign it.”
Chen Xiaomei replied. “I cannot decide this.”
One of them got mad. “Who else can decide?”
Dong Xuebing reached them. “I can decide. You all can talk to me.”
All of them were overjoyed when they saw Mayor Dong. “Mayor Dong. We were about to look for you.”
“Our department had applied for a few days. When can we get the money? Everyone is waiting.” A Culture Bureau leader asked.
Chen Xiaomei was relieved. She could finally leave. “Mayor Dong.”
Dong Xuebing nodded and looked at them. “Did you all bring your documents?”
“Yes. We brought them.” These leaders were here to ask for money, and they brought their application documents with them.
Dong Xuebing looked at the documents.
The Culture Bureau wants to build a new family quarter.
The Agriculture Bureau wants to start a cultivation experiment.
The Technology Bureau wants to move location.
These requests are nonsense! They are wasting the funds.
Dong Xuebing extended his hand to Chen Xiaomei. “Do you have a pen?”
Dong Xuebing started writing and signing the documents.
The leaders thought Dong Xuebing was approving their applications and were smiling.
But their face changed when Dong Xuebing returned the documents to them.
They saw what Dong Xuebing wrote at the bottom of their application forms. “Rejected.”
“Mayor Dong!”
“This…”
The commotion attracted many people.
Many staff members and leaders were watching from their windows.
Dong Xuebing said to the leaders in front of him. “Are you all too free? This is working hours. You are not working and coming here to ask for money. It’s fine if it is once or twice. How many times have you come to the County Government? Since you are so free, I will find something for you to do. The Provincial Government is clamping down on civil servants playing games and not working during office hours. I think your departments are too free. We will use your departments as test subjects. I will speak to Secretary Pu and suggest this during the Party Committee meeting.”
What?
Test subjects?
Test subjects for the Discipline Inspection Commission?
They took a deep breath. “Mayor Dong, we…”
Dong Xuebing ignored them and looked at Chen Xiaomei. “Any applications over 100,000 RMB to the Finance Department will need my approval. If anyone has problems, tell them to see me.”
Dong Xuebing spoke loudly, and everyone in the County Government compound heard him.
Chen Xiaomei agreed immediately. “I understand.”
Ring… ring… ring… the phone rang.
Dong Xuebing looked at the number and answered. “Hello, I am Dong Xuebing.”
“Mayor Dong. I am the Education Bureau’s Old Zheng. I am asking if we can get the funds within these few days. The teachers' training is essential. The children’s education is critical and cannot be delayed. We must increase our teachers’ abilities to improve our education system.” He was repeating what Dong Xuebing had said in the meeting.
“What about your education fund?”
“We used them up, and there’s not much left.”
“A few million RMB were used up?”
“Yes. It’s not enough. That’s why I sent a request application.”
Dong Xuebing was furious. He shouted. “The Education Bureau has the most funds among all the County’s departments. A few million RMB was given to you all not long ago. There were no emergencies, and I did not see you all did anything. Where the f**k did the money go? Didn’t you all plan how to use the funds? What the f**k do I need you leaders for? What the f**k were you doing? You still dare to ask for money from the County? You will not get a single cent from the County! Go and find a solution yourself!”
Deputy Chief Zheng was stunned.
Everyone in the County Party Committee Building heard Dong Xuebing.
Mayor Dong is mad.
He is furious.
