However, this year the agricultural tax has been completely abolished, so as the mayor he has to find a way to fill part of the gap.
"Okay, Secretary Zhang, I'll find a way to solve this financial problem." Hou Peng said through gritted teeth. He would use any means necessary, including embezzlement, withholding, arrears, writing receipts, and falsifying accounts.
Anyway, this town government has to continue to operate.
"Okay." Zhang Xingguo looked at Hou Peng deeply and said with a smile, "I still believe in Mayor Hou's ability."
After finishing the discussion on financial matters, Zhang Xingguo turned his attention to Xu Xiuyuan and Hou Peng. There were two more things to do, one was the construction of a new rural demonstration village in Meilin Village, and the other was Xu Xiuyuan's employment issue.
Which one should I talk about first?
Zhang Xingguo couldn't help but glance at the organization committee member Kang Yong. He was still tempted by Kang Yong's proposal the night before. If he could only let Xiuyuan have a nominal role in the Xinnong Demonstration Village construction project, or let him participate in fewer things and not let Xiuyuan hold the main power, then he would have the final say on how to get that big piece of cake.
In this case, the order in which things are mentioned first is very important.
"The county has high hopes for Comrade Xiuyuan's arrival in our central town. Mayor Hou, do you think we can come here to discuss Comrade Xiuyuan's employment issues?" Zhang Xingguo spoke slowly.
He planned to test Hou Peng's thoughts and also test Xiuyuan's attitude.
Hou Peng's face stiffened slightly when he heard this. He had originally planned to discuss the work arrangements with Xiuyuan after the meeting, thinking that Xiuyuan would definitely strive for the leading position in the Meilin Village project at this meeting. Then, after the meeting, he could use the importance of the Meilin Village project as an excuse to adjust some unimportant work for Xiuyuan and just fool him.
The conclusion was raised by Zhang Xingguo at this time.
Hou Peng pondered for a moment before speaking, "What Secretary Zhang said is true, but I haven't had time to discuss this issue with Deputy Mayor Xu. I originally wanted Xiu Yuan to familiarize himself with the situation in the central town first..."
"You can gradually become familiar with the situation through work and gradually understand it through practice." Zhang Xingguo interrupted Hou Peng. This was a two-pronged approach. One was to do a favor for Xiuyuan, and the other was to benefit the government of Huahua Town.
Hou Peng cannot be in control of everything. The executive deputy mayor must play the role of executive deputy mayor to form a check and balance.
"Yeah." Hou Peng nodded, looked at Xiuyuan, and asked, "Deputy Mayor, what's your opinion?"
All of a sudden, everyone's attention was focused on Xiuyuan. The secretary wanted to adjust Xiuyuan's job, but the mayor had other ideas for the time being. So it depended on Xiuyuan's choice.
Xiuyuan met Hou Peng's gaze and cursed in his heart, "You still want my opinion? My opinion is that I should take your seat!"
"Mayor Hou, I came to the central town because I want to get down to work as soon as possible and contribute to the development of our central town." Xiuyuan would definitely not back down. He came to the central town for the Meilin Village project, but if he wanted to do a good job in the Meilin Village project, he had to have actual power in his hands.
In other words, it is necessary to obtain the actual power of the executive deputy mayor in order to better promote the project.
Hou Xiuyuan originally thought that his words had been obvious enough, but unexpectedly, Hou Peng smiled and said, "I understand your feelings, but here's my thinking: Deputy Mayor, your main focus should still be on the new rural construction project in Meilin Village."
