Chapter 911 Small things, big situation
Xia Xiang could know Li Xiaomin's background, which was also revealed by Fu Xianxian inadvertently. The reason was that there was a call. Xia Xiang joked that one of the deputy mayors was named Li Xiaomin. If he didn't know, it was a woman, but in fact he was a big man. Fu Xianxian screamed exaggeratedly, saying that she had heard Fu Xianfeng say about Li Xiaomin, and said that Li Xiaomin was from the department level to the deputy department, from the chief department to the deputy department, the Fu family came forward to promote it...
There is a Fu Xianxian. Many secrets of the Fu family are not secrets in Xia Xiang's eyes. If Fu Xianfeng knows it, he will probably be extremely depressed.
"Mayor Xia, the annual maintenance costs of the municipal government are astonishingly high. I think there must be something tricky about it. It is necessary to strictly control it. Moreover, Zhang You undertakes projects every year, which will inevitably lead to the idea of power-money transactions."
In the officialdom, it is generally easy to keep the wealth and wealth. Li Xiaomin named Zhang You. Obviously, his dissatisfaction with Zhang You has reached the point where he cannot tolerate it. Another thing that made Xia Xiang wonder is that the Administrative Department is in the right way for Bao Daguang, but Bao Daguang is the deputy secretary-general of Li Xiaomin. If you look into it in depth, even he will have to bear part of the responsibility. What are Li Xiaomin's plans?
Xia Xiang was surprised that Li Xiaomin directly mentioned the tricks in the city government's maintenance, and secondly, he was confused about Li Xiaomin's real intention. If he was not the Fu family, he would think that he was coming closer, but because it was the Fu family, Xia couldn't help but guess.
"I really don't know the specific situation..." Xia Xiang was sloppy. If Lei Yida hadn't spoken the truth after drinking, he really didn't know the inside story. "Xiaomin, tell me in detail."
Li Xiaomin doesn’t think what Xia wants to tell is a lie. Mayor Xia has only been around for about a week. How could he understand that the Tianze Municipal Party Committee Courtyard has a mixed relationship network under the old and old atmosphere?
Although he was a little uncomfortable with Xia Xiang calling him Xiaomin in a kind tone, it was indeed in line with the tone of his superiors calling him the subordinates. He could not let Mayor Xia respectfully call him Mayor Li. In fact, he also knew that Mayor Xia called him Xiaomin instead, and called him Mayor Li was alienated.
"Although the municipal government's facilities are old and aging, most of them can still be used normally, the maintenance funds declared from the administrative department every year are as high as more than 4 million yuan. The money has been spent a lot of money. What should be broken or broken is still broken, and there is no place for repairs. I only see that money is spent every year. There is also a serious phenomenon of bloated personnel. There are many children of leading cadres who do not work and get paid. The extra expenditure is less than 2 million yuan per year. They are all the hard-earned money of the people, and they are thrown away in vain, which makes people feel heartbreaking.
First.” Li Xiaomin was indignant, “I have reported the situation to Mayor Mao many times. Mayor Mao always hummed and perfunctorily said that he wanted to cut expenses, but he said it year by year, but it increased year by year. The most ridiculous thing is that the entire municipal party committee compound has an elevator, and a person is specially arranged to manage the elevator. What does she do every day? She went to work at 7 a.m., took a key and turned it on, and turned it on. She went to work at 11 a.m., twisted it again, and closed the elevator. She worked less than a minute a day, and she had to get 1,500 yuan!”
Xia Xiang saw Li Xiaomin passionately, with an angry face, and a calm expression on his face. It was not that he did not know the scraps in the municipal government at all, and knew some of the inside stories. It was not that he was indifferent to it, but that he was the mayor and could not personally instruct some trivial matters. It was not that he disagreed with Li Xiaomin's anger. He had just come to Tianze City and was also a crucial mayor position. To prevent being used by those who are interested and becoming the fulcrum for others to leverage their interests, he needed to be cautious, observe carefully, and then make a decision.
"Whose relative is the elevator worker?"
Originally, Xia Xiang's calm face made Li Xiaomin disappointed, thinking that Xia Xiang had been tempered by the officialdom and had become a common bureaucrat. He only saw big things in his eyes. He turned a blind eye to scraps such as small borers and was too lazy to pursue them. Unexpectedly, Mayor Xia asked about the essence of the matter as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Li Xiaomin overjoyed and immediately looked at Xia Xiang differently.
A leader is a leader. He has a very accurate perspective on problems and is also very clever. He can find the fulcrum at a glance.
"Her surname is Ma, and she calls her Sister Ma, and she is Bao Daguang's sister-in-law."
"Bao Daguang... I am in his fifties this year?" Xia Xiang didn't answer and suddenly asked about other aspects.
"It's 58, I'll leave soon." Li Xiaomin's eyes lit up. Mayor Xia is so powerful. Although he doesn't look young, he has asked every word of the question.
"Li Qingniu seems to be only 40 out of the way?"
"Yes, 42 years old." Li Xiaomin observed Xia Xiang's expression intently, trying to see Xia Xiang's emotional fluctuations, but unfortunately he was disappointed. Mayor Xia's face was like a pool of water from beginning to end, with the waves not rising, and as flat as a mirror.
"Xiaomin, how long have you discovered this situation?" Xia Xiang asked again.
"It's been more than a year." As soon as he said that, Li Xiaomin knew that Xia Xiang had been stolen and hurriedly explained, "I am indeed Bao Daguang's deputy mayor, but Bao Daguang had something to do, either report directly to Mayor An or to Secretary Chen, and I have no choice..."
Another meaning of no way is that he became a sandwich pie. His work cannot receive the support of the municipal party committee secretary or the executive vice mayor, and he is very helpless.
Generally speaking, even if the deputy mayor in charge has no power, the counterpart deputy secretary-general will not report work more than the level, because superiors do not like subordinates who report work more than the level, and will think that you do not take your immediate boss seriously and do not understand the rules. Of course, there are exceptions in everything. If a subordinate is indeed disagreeing with the immediate boss but has a very good relationship with the superior, you may surpass the immediate boss and report more than the immediate boss.
"I heard that your relationship with Mayor Mao is pretty good?" Xia Xiang would not trust Li Xiaomin easily. Whether he came to surrender or sow discord, it still needs to be observed before he could draw a conclusion.
"Mayor Mao is a good old man, he doesn't like to manage affairs." After a few rounds, Li Xiaomin found that Mayor Xia was calmer and more intelligent than he thought. He thought that Xia Xiang was young, and the other was that Mayor Xia was rumored to be impulsive and passionate in Lang City. After coming to Tianze City, he should also be jealous of evil. When he heard the illegal incident of power and money trading under the eyes of the municipal government, he would definitely slap the table. Unexpectedly, Mayor Xia remained silent and found a lot of his details, which made him secretly frightened and had to speak more cautiously. "Mayor Mao was in his 50s when he became mayor, and he planned to retire after the previous term. In addition, he had a good temper and let go of everything. In fact, Mayor An had the final say in the government team."
An Xingyi? Xia Xiang frowned slightly. He was not maliciously speculating on An Xingyi's character, and whether An Xingyi likes to take over power or is not right himself has nothing to do with him. Although An Xingyi is a person that Song Chaodu is interested in, it is not that Song Chaodu's vision is accurate at just one glance. What he was dissatisfied with was that Li Xiaomin went further and further, and the more people he was involved, and he was too far, and he was suspected of being clever.
Because until now, Li Xiaomin has not expressed his true intention.
Xia Xiang's eyes crossed Li Xiaomin's shoulders and looked behind him.
Li Xiaomin immediately realized Xia Xiang's impatientness. A quartz clock was hanging on the wall behind him. When reporting work to the leader, if the leader intends to look at the time, it is a manifestation of impatientness with you. Either the leader is not interested in the work you report to, or you did something wrong and made the leader unhappy.
"Mayor Xia..." Li Xiaomin knew it was time to make up his mind and would not express his true intentions. When Xia wanted to drive him away, he would have no chance. "I want to start rectifying the unhealthy trends in the administrative department and hope that the leaders will support my work."
Do you want to retain power with his support? Xia Xiang actually guessed Li Xiaomin's purpose, but he didn't know how to point it out, so he just waited for Li Xiaomin to say it himself.
Li Xiaomin wanted to collect power, but as the deputy mayor in charge, he asked reasonably and Xia Xiang should support it. Another point is that Li Xiaomin will inevitably touch the interests of many people in the process of collecting power, and Zhang You is the first to bear the brunt of it. Moreover, behind Zhang You, there is a large number of people involved, especially when the government team has not yet unified its opinions on the issue of housing projects, it is very necessary to first move Zhang You in the city government maintenance project, and it is also a very good breakthrough.
There is still a big difference between the mayor and the executive vice mayor. The executive vice mayor is the first-ranked deputy mayor, after all, he is a deputy. The mayor is the top leader of the government team. While he has the right to decide, many people will naturally get closer. Of course, more importantly, many things do not need to be done in person, but only hint or indirectly point the location. Many people below will speculate on the leader’s intentions.
Xia Xiang didn't know much about Li Xiaomin's political sensitivity, so he deliberately tried it: "The unhealthy trend must be stopped. Xiaomin, the administrative department is within your jurisdiction, what should I do is within your authority." After clicking a little, he suddenly asked, "When is the time for Sister Ma to go to work?"
Li Xiaomin was still a little dizzy when he left Xia Xiang's office. Mayor Xia did not express his clear support for his request, which made him very frustrated. Second, he suddenly changed the subject and asked Sister Ma's working hours. What does it mean? He thought about it but did not understand that the leader had absolutely nothing nonsense to speak, but he couldn't figure out the intentions of the leader, so he didn't want the leader to support your work.
He returned to the office and thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. He almost lost his head. The more he couldn't figure it out, the more uncomfortable he felt. After a few rounds, he woke up. The amazing Mayor Xia, a few years younger than him, was well aware of the three flavors of officialdom. He defeated him in one encounter. He also wanted to use Xia Xiang's hand to maximize his benefits, but he was tricked by Xia Xiang.
First, he called Fu Xianfeng to report on Xia Xiang's work progress in Tianze City. Fu Xianfeng had no instructions, so he responded lightly for a few words and hung up the phone. Then Li Xiaomin suddenly remembered Peng Yunfeng. Peng Yunfeng did a very beautiful job of leveling the venue last time, and he would definitely guess what Mayor Xia said.
Li Xiaomin took a small step and came to Peng Yunfeng's office in person. He pretended to ask about work. After a few words, he talked about the commuting and getting off hours of Sister Ma in the elevator.
Peng Yunfeng is the secretary-general of the government and the director of the government office. The relationship between him and Li Xiaomin is reasonable. After hearing a few words, he guessed Li Xiaomin's intention and smiled: "Working for one minute every day, I get a salary of 1,500 yuan, which is higher than my salary. I will definitely not see anyone during normal times, and I don't know if I am still in the municipal party committee compound. To be honest, the municipal party committee compound has an elevator, and there are very few people. Even Secretary Chen and Mayor Xia go to the Standing Committee Building, and they usually take stairs. The utilization rate is too low. It has been a few years, just like the new one. In addition, there is no fault in every year..."
Li Xiaomin's eyes lit up and he patted Peng Yunfeng's shoulder with a smile: "Yunfeng, we are still fellow villagers. Tonight, I'll treat you to drink."
Peng Yunfeng was polite: "Why are you embarrassed to ask you to ask me? You're so polite, so let's go."
"I can't avoid it, I must sit there. Otherwise, I won't give my fellow villagers face." If I don't mention my position, I only talk about fellow villagers. Li Xiaomin plays the card of family affection.
Peng Yunfeng agreed: "Mayor Li must give face to you. Mayor Li must drink wine. The affairs of fellow villagers must be entrusted."
Li Xiaomin laughed and thought to himself, why didn’t I find Peng Yunfeng so good at doing things before and so smart? When Mayor Xia came, his political mind seemed to have improved a lot. Could it be that the person who was close to Zhu and the person who was close to Mo, and after following Mayor Xia, his political level could also soar?
After work the next afternoon, Xia Xiang was accompanied by Peng Yunfeng and Xu Ziqi, and walked casually in the municipal party committee compound, calling it augmenting understanding. Before he knew it, he came to the Standing Committee Building - he didn't know whether Xia Xiang came here intentionally or Peng Yunfeng led the way unintentionally.
Most of the buildings in the municipal party committee compound were completed before the 1990s. Only the Standing Committee Building was a new building, and an elevator was installed. But for some reason, after the Standing Committee Building was completed, it was idle after only one Standing Committee meeting was held. Some people say that Secretary Chen did not like the Standing Committee Building and thought that the Feng Shui was not good, so she had a headache as soon as she entered.
As a result, all the Standing Committee meetings were held in the old building later. A building built with investment of several million yuan was in the sky. Once it was put on, it took more than two years. I also heard that a director of the Municipal Party Committee once proposed to convert the Standing Committee building into an office building to solve the increasingly tense office environment of the Municipal Party Committee compound. However, shortly after the opinions were mentioned, he was transferred from an important department to a leisurely elderly care department. From then on, no one dared to raise the problem of the Standing Committee building again.
The Standing Committee Building is the latest building in the municipal party committee compound and is also the heart disease of the owner of the Tianze Municipal Party Committee.
Xia Xiang and his group came to the Standing Committee Building and got on the elevator. As soon as the elevator reached the third floor, it suddenly broke down and stopped in the middle without going up or down. Xu Ziqi and Peng Yunfeng became anxious and hurriedly called the Administrative Office.
Li Qingniu was having a meeting in the office, talking about saving money. If it really doesn't work, it will reduce staff and reduce expenses. Just as he was excited, the phone rang. He was most annoying to be interrupted by others during the meeting. He took the phone and saw it. He didn't know him, so he refused to listen. As soon as he refused to listen, the phone called again, and he became annoyed: "Hey, who is? He is having a meeting, and I will talk about it later."
"Director Li, I am Xu Ziqi." Xu Ziqi just served as Xia Xiang's secretary, and not many people know his mobile phone number - his voice is neither humble nor arrogant. In fact, as the secretary of the second-ranked person, he is fully qualified to speak to Li Qingniu in a condescending tone. Although he is the deputy director, Li Qingniu is named Director, and he is actually just a full-time department. "Mayor Xia is trapped in the elevator of the Standing Committee Building, and send someone right away!"
Li Qingniu was stunned at first. It was impossible. The elevator in the Standing Committee Building could not be used several times a year, so how could it be broken? Then he suddenly realized something and secretly shouted in his heart that it was a bad thing!
He didn't bother to give anything, and immediately called the maintenance staff, ran to the Standing Committee Building in a panic. He ran halfway through the way and thought about something, and called Bao Daguang again.
When Li Qingniu arrived at the Standing Committee Building, Mayor Xia was already out of trouble. He hurriedly admitted his mistake to Mayor Xia and criticized himself first. Mayor Xia was not angry, but just asked casually: "Didn't someone say that the elevator is responsible for managing it?" Then he looked at his watch and turned around and left.
Xu Ziqi followed Xia Xiang to leave, but Peng Yunfeng stayed and criticized Li Qingniu severely. Li Qingniu had a hard time declaring her mouth, and she wondered why the elevator would not break sooner or later, but it broke when Mayor Xia came? It was really unlucky.
Unlucky things are still coming.
Li Xiaomin, the deputy mayor in charge who rushed over to the scene, came to the scene. After learning about the situation, he was furious and immediately asked Li Qingniu to fire Sister Ma and re-inspect the elevator equipment.
"Now I just let the leader get stuck in it for a few minutes. What should I do if the leader gets stuck in the elevator next time? Well? Who can bear this responsibility? Look at the problem from a political perspective. Lao Li, if Mayor Xia asks in detail where nearly 5 million yuan of maintenance funds are used in a year, you can explain it to Mayor Xia yourself!"
Li Xiaomin left with her sleeves.
Peng Yunfeng also patted Li Qingniu on the shoulder earnestly: "Old Li, Lao Li, confused, confused..." He said only halfway, shook his head, and left.
Li Qingniu was stunned and could not move for a long time. It was not until Bao Daguang called him that he woke up and reported the specific situation to Bao Daguang.
Bao Daguang pondered for a long time and gritted his teeth: "Sister Ma can't keep it anymore, so he'll be fired. This year's maintenance costs should be pressed down, so don't be too eye-catching. Someone wants to take action against us. Lao Li, you must stand firm."
Li Qingniu was angry. Mayor Xia, Deputy Mayor Li and Secretary Peng were among them, and now Deputy Secretary Bao, all of them put pressure on him, a small director. How could he be the one who could take on the responsibility? The advantage was not that he could only do it. Secretary Bao took the big head and didn't take on the heavy burden, so he pushed it to him. Who would he push it to?
Li Qingniu thought that he would fire Sister Ma, and the matter would be over after covering it up. Unexpectedly, he wanted to cover up someone but wanted to make a big deal...
