Chapter 121 Showing My Face to the Boss
Chapter 121 Showing My Face to the Boss
The next day, Qi Tongwei arrived at the county government early in the morning to report to Lei Yaohua in his office.
I already reported to Lei Yaohua at his residence last night; I'm just showing up today.
Qi Tongwei gave Lei Yaohua a box of tea as a formal congratulatory gift.
"Secretary Lei, I brought you a box of tea. Please have a taste when you have time!"
Qi Tongwei placed the tea leaves on his desk and said.
He bought a lot of tea yesterday, intending to give each leader a box as a token of his appreciation when he reports on his work.
"Okay, I'll definitely try it when I have time!"
You already reported on your work last night, so there's no need to report again.
Go and report to the other leaders, make an appearance, it will make things easier for you in the future.
Lei Yaohua said that Qi Tongwei, as the mayor of Biyun Township, has been in office for more than a week, and it would be unreasonable for him not to show his face.
"Yes, Secretary Lei!"
After putting down the grant application and leaving Lei Yaohua's office, Qi Tongwei went to Fang Zhigang's office.
"Hello, County Chief Fang!"
I am Qi Tongwei, the mayor of Biyun Township. I'm here to report on the work of Biyun Township!
I brought you a box of tea; please try it when you have time!
Qi Tongwei knocked on the door of Fang Zhigang's office when no one was there and entered, placing the tea leaves on the desk.
"Hello, Mayor Qi, I didn't expect you to arrive so early!"
Fang Zhigang was somewhat surprised; he had just started work when Qi Tongwei arrived.
Normally, no one comes to report on their work in the morning.
After yesterday's inauguration ceremony, the county party committee and county government did not hold a meeting to greet the newly appointed officials.
This morning, the county party committee and county government will hold a meeting to confirm the division of responsibilities, and will meet with people from various departments in the afternoon.
"I didn't go back yesterday; I stayed in the county."
I was worried that there would be many people coming to report to you in the morning, so I came very early...
"County Chief Fang, I'm requesting a county-level allocation of 20 yuan for Biyun Township. The township's officials haven't received their salaries for six months. If they don't get paid soon, I'm worried they'll quit!"
Qi Tongwei reported on the work in Biyun Township and placed the funding application on Fang Zhigang's desk.
Biyun Township was the source of the previous corruption scandal in Yunmeng County.
These corrupt officials are despicable. Over the years, they have only cared about enriching themselves and have not cared about the lives of ordinary people and other officials.
This will surely cause panic in Biyun Township, and officials will be unable to concentrate on their work.
These corrupt officials also left behind a host of problems.
A debt of 500 million yuan and four years' worth of unpaid wages;
The work of police stations, family planning offices, civil affairs offices, urban construction offices, education offices, enterprise offices, land management offices, finance offices, health centers, foundations, and grain stations is already paralyzed or semi-paralyzed.
In the week or so since Qi Tongwei took office, he has been working hard to reassure the cadres of Biyun Township while also learning about the situation and looking for people who can take on heavy responsibilities.
The plan is to have them take over the work of the police station, family planning office, civil affairs office, urban construction office, education office, enterprise office, land management office, finance office, health center, foundation, and grain station, and to reinstate the work of these departments.
But simply offering a future is not enough; cadres must receive their salaries to truly reassure them and stabilize the situation.
"You did a good job. Reassure everyone as soon as possible and get all work back on track."
Get familiar with the situation as soon as possible and stabilize the situation in Biyun Township!
I'll visit Biyun Township in a while!
I'll look at the application later; I need to understand the situation in the county first!
Fang Zhigang said he was quite satisfied with the work Qi Tongwei had done in the week or so since taking office.
He didn't know Qi Tongwei before, but the man came to him early in the morning to report on his work.
This shows that Qi Tongwei takes his new position as county head seriously.
Meanwhile, the work in Biyun Township is also a key focus for him recently, and Qi Tongwei's report has given him a better understanding of the situation in Biyun Township.
However, what Qi Tongwei reported made him very uncomfortable.
They owe five million! A small town like ours is in debt for five million!
It's one thing to be in debt for five million, but the real problem is that no construction was ever carried out; the money all went into the pockets of those corrupt officials.
It's worth noting that many counties only have an annual fiscal revenue of around 20 million yuan, and Biyun Township's debt is equivalent to a quarter of the annual fiscal revenue of many counties.
This doesn't even include the back wages owed to cadres. Biyun Township has been in arrears with cadres' wages for four whole years, totaling nearly two million yuan.
That adds up to seven million, which is equivalent to one-third of the annual fiscal revenue of many counties.
Such a large sum of money, I don't know how many years it will take to resolve.
"Yes, County Chief Fang!"
After leaving Fang Zhigang's office, Qi Tongwei went to the office of Feng Shihao, the deputy secretary of the county party committee, to report on his work and gave him a box of tea.
Afterwards, Qi Tongwei visited Su Xiangdong, the executive deputy county head; Pan Shiyu, the secretary of the discipline inspection commission; Wu Qi, the organization minister; Fan Dawei, the secretary of the political and legal affairs commission; and Wu Jiahui, the propaganda minister.
I reported to the offices of United Front Work Department Minister He Niujie, Armed Forces Minister Sun Chengming, Deputy County Head Wei Jiahao, Deputy County Head Yuan Jiecheng, Deputy County Head Chen Xinghua, Deputy County Head Gu Zhizhou, and Deputy County Head Tao Yushu, and presented each of them with a box of tea.
In addition to reporting on his work, Qi Tongwei also expressed his gratitude to Feng Shihao, deputy secretary of the county party committee; Wu Jiahui, head of the publicity department; He Niujie, head of the united front work department; and Sun Chengming, head of the armed forces department.
Qi Tongwei's appointment as township head was approved by the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, which was attended by Deputy Secretary Feng Shihao, Propaganda Minister Wu Jiahui, United Front Work Minister He Niujie, Armed Forces Minister Sun Chengming, and Chu Zhiyi, the former director of the County Party Committee Office who had been transferred.
After giving his work report and making a brief appearance, Qi Tongwei returned to Biyun Township.
Upon returning to Biyun Township, Qi Tongwei summoned Zhang Feiyang, the propaganda and united front committee member, and Hu Zhengyi, the deputy township head.
"Comrade Feiyang, Comrade Zhengyi, all the vacant leadership positions in the county have been filled..."
Qi Tongwei told Zhang Feiyang and Hu Zhengyi who the new county party secretary, county head, and other leaders were.
"Next up are the leaders of our township. The county committee will fill our positions soon."
Right now, our top priority is to stabilize the situation in the village.
We must resume the work of police stations, family planning offices, civil affairs offices, urban construction offices, education offices, enterprise offices, land management offices, finance offices, health centers, foundations, and grain stations as soon as possible.
If you think any of these comrades are good, feel free to recommend them to me. We can discuss it sometime in a few days!
Of course, the people chosen through discussion will not be appointed immediately, but will instead serve as acting officials for the time being.
Set a probationary period for them, and the performance indicator will be whether they can restore the department's work to normal as soon as possible.
If they can restore the work of their departments to normal as soon as possible, they will be formally appointed as department heads.
Qi Tongwei said that in a week or two, County Party Secretary Lei Yaohua and County Head Fang Zhigang might come.
If the police station, family planning office, civil affairs office, urban construction office, education office, enterprise office, land management office, finance office, health center, foundation and grain station are still paralyzed or semi-paralyzed by then, then those three won't need to work anymore.
The foundation for stabilizing the situation is that all departments are carrying out their work normally.
Only after each department has finished its work can other things be done.
The heads of the departments they discussed will not be directly appointed, but will instead undergo a probationary period.
This is also to ensure that the departments they are responsible for can resume normal operations as soon as possible.
