The door was built in the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Looking further inside, it was an ancient building painted with carvings. The entrance was very imposing. Upon stepping on it was a stone railing platform. The top and bottom were meticulously carved with high-quality white marble. On both sides of the platform, there was a stone lion that was baring its teeth to show its dignity. The main room only had a three-story vermilion building with a red railing. It was surrounded by a corridor. Green tiles and copper hung on the top of the mountain. The eaves and dougong pierced into the sky. It was a typical antique yamen.
If it weren't for the big sign of " Beiliao City People's Government " hanging there, no one would believe that this was the office of the city government.
The architectural style of the offices of the party and government in Beiliao City was somewhat different from that of other cities. Outside the city, most of the party's organs were built in ancient style. The ancient, long-standing, and unique halls, coupled with the surrounding gardens, often gave people a sense of majesty and mystery, making people respect them as soon as they approached. As government agencies were busy with work, their offices were often trendy and open. Beiliao City was different. The municipal government office was a newly built building. The construction of this building and Flowery World started at the same time and was completed at the same time. The huge, smooth building made of steel and glass looked like a skyscraper in a western country from afar. As for the government, it was still an antique left behind by their ancestors.
It was said that when Yang Jian, the director of the Construction Bureau, was in charge of building the Flower World, he advocated pushing down this old antique and building a modern government building together with the municipal office building. This suggestion was very popular, and the leaders of the city expressed their support. All because of Qin Bai's eight-word instruction: "How can the grandeur of the capital be in the palace?" He rejected this matter. Two years later, the city council building was completed. The Flower World was finished. Yang Jian, the director of the Construction Bureau, ascended the throne of the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee with his brilliant achievements in completing two major buildings. And this old antique, as well as Qin Bai's meaningful eight characters, were still deeply engraved in people's hearts.
Yu Hai, who had been working at the grassroots level for two months, walked into his office on the first day.
Ah, so beautiful!
As soon as he entered the room, he could see that the furnishings in the room had changed greatly compared to the day Qin Bai handed over his shift to him. The original wooden coffee table had been replaced. Under the thick glass bricks was a steel pipe frame that was shining with electroplated light. The maps of China and the world on the side wall were all removed, and a row of long bookshelves made of polished green dragon wood was placed. Behind the door, a semi-circular water rack made of chrome-plated steel frame and aluminum plate protruded out, just like a small bar. In front of him was a shiny writing desk and a loose rubber swivel chair. On the wall behind him hung a beautiful and exquisite calligraphy.
The sky was full of wind and waves, and the sky was full of true energy. All things were present, returning to nothingness, accumulating strength, and becoming a hero. The wind was blowing, and the clouds were swallowing the vast wilderness…
"Ha, what a good 'Wind and Clouds' and 'Swallowing the Great Waste'!”Yu Hai laboriously read it down, his heart feeling much more open.
The words on this painting were bold and vigorous. The author must be a great calligrapher.
"Wow! Chief Yu, you can recite it in one breath. You're amazing!”Ji Xiaoxia clapped a few times.
"Sima Kong's famous lines, anyone can memorize them.”Yu Hai threw down his briefcase and leaned back in his chair.
"This time, I win."
"Beat who?"
"Zhang Hanjie. This calligraphy maniac made a bet with me that if Yu Shi could recite it, he would draw a picture of a phoenix playing with a peony for me for free…"
"Then, he's definitely going to lose!" Yu Shi chuckled, thinking that this calligrapher had really underestimated him.
The office had been meticulously cleaned by Ji Xiaoxia, and there was not a single speck of dust in the room. This was the specialty of modern women. In terms of interior decoration and layout, it was luxurious yet elegant. They could always deliberately create an elegant atmosphere through their own thinking and sculpting, so that when you walked in, you would feel a warm and relaxed hazy color.
"Chief Yu, it seems that you are not only a politician and an entrepreneur, but also a scholar!”The female secretary complimented her boss while fiddling with the potted plants in the room. There were azalea, rose, rose, pomegranate, red orange, aloes, orange, tulip. Some were lush and green, some were bearing fruits, some were budding, some were in full bloom, and the fragrance was irresistible.
"Why are there so many high hats? I can't afford it.”
"Chief Yu, you've been in office for two months and you've been running around every day. You haven't sat in this office chair for a day. Thank you for your hard work. I can't blame them for making fun of us, saying that I, Ji Xiaoxia, stay alone in an empty room every day…"
Alone in an empty room?
Hearing this. Yu Hai raised his head warily.
This joke was too much!
However, when she saw Ji Xiaoxia's mischievous and nonchalant look, she could not say anything.
"Xiao Ji." For some reason, Yu Hai suddenly felt that he couldn't call her "Little Xia" like Qin Bai. That joke was like a warning: They needed to build a wall between them emotionally.
"This is my work agenda for today. Send it to the secretary-general immediately and let him arrange the procedures. Inform all the units involved immediately. Oh, he had to let the 'number one' do it. Tell them to come on time!"
"Yo, fourteen pieces…so full!”Ji Xiaoxia looked at the list that the chief shi handed her in surprise and walked out with light steps.
The room quieted down. Yu Hai left the swivel chair and walked a few steps along the carpet that had just been laid. Then he fell into deep thought on the sofa behind the coffee table.
A picture, a vivid and realistic picture, has been constantly appearing in front of my eyes recently: Under the boundless sky, the mountains and plains were covered in the golden color of autumn. Birds were chirping in the sky. The wild geese lined up and flew south. In the thick autumn, his father drove a carriage slowly along the fields of his hometown. The road was flat and the horse knew the way. Father patted my back and sang a country song leisurely. After a while, I fell asleep in the shaft of the carriage.
On the ground, the weather is unpredictable. Following that, thunder and lightning struck, and it rained heavily. The muddy road hindered the wheels from turning. I saw the horses ahead neighing. Some of them struggled to move forward, some stopped, and some picked up their legs and turned around timidly. Thus, his father, who had been in a relaxed mood just a moment ago, suddenly jumped out of the car. His eyes widened as he raised his whip and ruthlessly whipped the horses. Under the heavy whips, the horses shouted and worked together. The carriage bravely rushed through the muddy water, facing the wind and rain.
A government, a team, was it like what people said, a carriage? If that was the case, this car owner must be the top executive.
If the society of a region was functioning normally, the driver on the smooth road could naturally act leisurely according to the normal rules of officialdom. However, what if it wasn't like that? If I encounter a thunderstorm in my career, if there is a horse that wants to jump out of the trap and fight back, then should I learn from my father, open my eyes wide, and fiercely swing the whip in my hand?
The " mining machine " had only been running for a month when the tax department came knocking on the door and forcibly collected the 60 million yuan in taxes owed in the past. The Mining Bureau signed a 200 million yuan joint venture contract with a Singapore investor to develop a real estate project. Everyone was overjoyed, but the government's planning office still didn't approve the land. I asked the deputy chief to urge it, but two months passed and there was still no result.
Of course, they had a good reason to delay. The tax bureau took out this "regulation" and that "regulation". The Planning Office took out this "Rules" and that "Method". They shamelessly taught me, as if they were giving a blind person in government affairs a "lesson".
I had no choice but to call the deputy chief of the city construction department, Lin Zhengjiang, and give them three days to approve the land permit. Otherwise, I will remove them from their posts.
This move was very effective.
However, things were difficult for the tax bureau.
Lu Qiang, who was lying on the hospital bed, saw me walking to the bed. It was as if a weak person like me was begging him for mercy. He pretended to take out some "Regulations" and scared me. Then, he rudely praised the tax officials for sticking to their principles and doing a good job.
" Chief Lu, there's an account. You should understand." I had to grit my teeth with this Lu Qiangren patiently." During the period when the mining machine is out of production, they only pay 400,000 yuan in taxes a year. This year, we invested 80 million yuan in him so that they can collect 200 million yuan in taxes by the end of the year. Now, you're taking back 60 million at once. Isn't that the same as pulling the rug out from under you? This means that we lost 200 million!”
" Comrade Yu Hai," Lu Qiang never called me chief. In his heart, he simply couldn't accept the fact that I was chief." I understand your feelings. However, the law is merciless!"
" Comrade Lu Qiang," I suppressed my anger. My initial intention to negotiate politely was gone." As a party member, you should implement the decision of the government party group. As the deputy chief, you should obey my decision. Now, the mining machine has been out of production for two days. I hope you can solve this problem within three days.”
" Oh, look, look, my head..." Lu Qiang knocked his head in a strange tone." How could I forget that I'm just a 'deputy' chief? Yes, yes, you don't know if it's cloudy or rainy, but you still know who's older and who's younger! As a deputy, I should listen to you, the 'first-in-command.'? However, you probably don't know this, but the tax bureau is a provincial department. The city doesn't have the final say... Go to the province!"
The deputy chief actually gave me a mission.
"Alright then!" I suppressed my anger and smiled calmly. The problem in my heart was finally solved.
"Comrade Lu Qiang, since you have such an attitude, then you should stay out of the matters of the tax department from now on.”I let out a sigh of relief and stood up to say goodbye." Bye bye, I wish you a speedy recovery!”
"Ah! Yu Hai, you…"
I walked out of the door and heard an angry outburst from the hospital bed.
" Haha..." The provincial tax bureau chief heard my words and laughed out loud." This Lu Qiang only knows this 'regulation' and that 'regulation'. However, what was the purpose of the Regulations? It was to prevent tax evasion! What is the purpose of collecting taxes? It was all for the sake of construction. For this 60 million, he had to throw away 200 million. He was muddle-headed…It was really unbelievable.”
Lu Qiang was not a muddle-headed person. Who didn't know his motive for doing this?
" Hey, Old Bi..." The provincial tax bureau chief immediately pointed at the tax bureau chief of Beiliao City who was standing beside me." Lu Qiang doesn't know how to calculate, but your calculations are clear!" Didn't I say that if you collect the 200 million yuan from the mining machine at the end of the year, I've prepared a million yuan bonus for you! What, are you confused?"
"This has nothing to do with Chief Bi. The responsibility lies with our local government.”I hurriedly freed Old Bi.
People and money were not easy to get! The hardest thing to deal with was people. This was especially true for high-level officials. If their personal interests were slightly affected, they would be sensitive and make things difficult for you. They would trip you up at work. This kind of thing really gave him a headache. After taking office for a few months, I feel that money and goods are not difficult to deal with. There was no money to be earned, no goods to be produced, no purchases. Bureau-level cadres were under the jurisdiction of the municipal party committee, while city-level cadres were under the jurisdiction of the provincial party committee. You're just a small chief, and you can't do anything when you meet those people who don't listen to you!
However, I'm not completely helpless. If you really push me to the edge, I won't use you! As for Lu Qiang, I don't
