“Zhou Jianzhong, you’ve been the deputy director of Meilin Village for so many years, and you still have no ideological awareness, do you? The town’s decision, you just don’t want to do it, and you call yourself a party member…”
"Fine, if you don't want to do it, then don't. I'm flattering you. If Zhang the butcher dies, we won't eat mixed-hair pigs. Now go and write a report saying that you're quitting and disobeying the decision. Tomorrow I'll propose that we hold a meeting of the town's Party committee to expel you from the Party."
"If you don't want to do it, there are plenty of other people who will. Don't use this to threaten the town..."
Li Xiuyuan didn't tolerate Zhou Jianzhong at all. When it comes to village cadres at the grassroots level, if you're too polite to them, you'll get used to their stubbornness and have to appease them later. Li Xiuyuan didn't have the energy to appease village cadres.
"Mayor Li, that's not what I meant..."
When you are strong, he is weak. Li Xiuyuan slammed his fist on the table in anger, and Zhou Jianzhong immediately softened, looking uncomfortable, but he finally bowed his head.
"That's not what I meant. What did I mean then? Among the current candidates for village cadres in Meilin Village, you are the most suitable. The town has decided to appoint you because they trust you. So you need to show your abilities and do a good job. So what if you're older?"
If you're determined to do it, you can do it well. Besides, there are other village officials to assist you. Do you think you can do everything by yourself? Let me tell you, stand firm until your last shift. Don't ruin your reputation in the town when you're old.
Li Xiuyuan continued to threaten him, and after threatening him, he started to make empty promises.
"You won't be a village party secretary for nothing. The county is already making headlines. After you've served a certain number of years, the county will give you a certain amount of money every year after you retire, as a retirement pension. Of course, it won't be a lot, but it's a recognition of your years of work and hard work. The organization is considering you. If you mess things up and go against the town, it won't just affect you. The county will also reconsider, and then everyone will be criticizing you..."
"Li Zhen? Is this true?" Zhou Jianzhong immediately perked up. Village cadre, this position is actually a bit awkward. You can say he's a cadre, but he doesn't have a formal position or rank.
Even though they weren't cadres, they still did some work.
The annual salary is funded by government appropriations. While you are working, you receive a salary every year, but once you stop working, you receive no money at all.
Now Li Xiuyuan is saying that the county is planning to give them retirement pensions.
"What do you mean by 'real' or 'fake'? The organization sees everything you do. You've worked hard, and the county will remember it and think about giving you benefits. If you only think about yourselves, go against the organization, don't care about the organization's appointments, and still want retirement pensions, what a load of crap!" Li Xiuyuan cursed, spitting as he spoke.
He wasn't entirely fooling Zhou Jianzhong; there were indeed rumors of this in the county. In his previous life, the county had a similar policy: after working as a village cadre for a certain number of years, one would receive a small amount of money each year upon retirement. Of course, the amount wasn't much, and it couldn't compare to the amount received by those who retired from formal positions. The amount received in a year might not even be as much as the monthly income of those who retired from formal positions.
But it's still a little money, and it's also a recognition of how many years they've worked.
