Speaking of which, we are still helping him solve his problems, what's wrong with that?"
As Wang Zhixing was speaking, Hou Peng was about to nod in agreement. This was why things were sometimes difficult to handle within the system, why money could not be allocated, and why it was intercepted layer by layer.
The leaders took the money, but instead of putting it in their own pockets, they used it for other purposes. You say this money is earmarked for its intended purpose, but then should the teachers' salaries be paid? Should other funding holes be filled?
Even if it is misappropriated, there is nothing you can do about it.
"Mayor Hou, this won't do. This new rural project is a good thing, and we can compete for the initiative, but we can't just delay its progress. Last year, those two bastards Tian Zhijun and his brother made Meilin Village a mess, and I don't know how many people cursed them. If they continue to do the same thing this year, they'll be discredited again and again..."
Qi Weihua immediately spoke up to dissuade him, saying that he couldn't do anything rash.
"Wei Hua, I know you care about Meilin Village. You have several comrades there, but don't worry. When the project is launched, I will have someone prioritize the funding for your comrades and provide them with appropriate care..."
Hou Peng said with a smile, Qi Weihua shook his head: "Mayor Hou, that's not what I meant. I often go to Meilin Village. It's not easy for the county to choose Meilin Village as a pilot. This is an opportunity for Meilin Village. However, this kind of project involves complicated situations. We can't do it all at once. The second time, it will decline, and the third time, it will be exhausted..."
"Weihua." Hou Peng's voice became heavier. He and Qi Weihua were high school classmates and they had a good relationship, but Qi Weihua kept saying this, which made him feel embarrassed.
It was as if he, as the mayor, was irresponsible and was treating the happy lives of thousands of people in Meilin Village as a joke.
Although this is true, it sounds a bit harsh when you say it.
"Don't worry about this matter. Don't worry, I will complete the Meilin Village project. I am doing this just to compete for the dominant position in the project. Do you think such a big project can be completed by a young boy?
Can he handle the coordination of all aspects involved here? I’m not just doing this for myself, but also for the project…”
Hou Peng argued sophistry, and Qi Weihua sighed inwardly and kept silent.
Hou Peng then looked at Wang Zhixing and instructed him, "Zhixing, go find Lao Zhang from the Comprehensive Administration Office and win him over. Even if he doesn't follow us, don't let him get close to Li Xiuyuan."
"Okay, Mayor Hou, leave this matter to me, don't worry."
"Well, I'll go to the Finance Office and communicate with them personally."
Qi Weihua expressed his dissatisfaction without saying a word.
Meanwhile, in Zhang Xingguo's office, the atmosphere was relaxed, especially for Organization Committee member Kang Yong. He felt his plan had succeeded.
Both Li Xiuyuan and Hou Peng had a direct conflict during the meeting, and the conflict will only become more and more intense.
