Seeing the camera following Huo Qianli, the man quickly tugged at his sweetheart-neck sweater, zipped up his jacket, and walked up to greet him with a kind smile.
He led them all the way to Zheng Qiang's office. Wherever they went, everyone was doing their job and everything was in order.
The ground is also clean. Although it is just an old government compound, it still looks quite solemn and dignified.
The photographer muttered quietly: "I didn't come in last time, but this time I see that this Qianfu Town is pretty good!"
Liu Xiaoyu remained silent and glanced at Huo Qianli's back. The professional acumen she had acquired from her friends in the media told her that this matter might not be that simple.
In fact, she guessed right. When Huo Qianli learned that they were going to travel together, he had already secretly sent a text message to Zheng Qiang.
Otherwise, if he brought such a big bomb without informing the town government first, the people in the town government would hate him to death.
The office door opened and Zheng Qiang, a senior town official, was working at his desk. He looked up when he heard the knock on the door, smiled and nodded, motioning Huo Qianli and Gu Daqiang to sit down.
Then he saw Liu Xiaoyu and the photographer behind them.
A look of surprise flashed across his face, and he quickly stood up, walked over quickly, and said with a wry smile: "Reporter Liu, why are you following me!"
Liu Xiaoyu smiled meaningfully and said, "Is Secretary Zheng not welcome?"
"Welcome, welcome!" Zheng Qiang said quickly, "It's just that my place is a mess, I'm sorry to bother you two."
Liu Xiaoyu waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about us. Just chat. We can delete any sensitive topics."
"Uh... OK!"
Zheng Qiang walked back to his seat hesitantly, sat down, gave a few brief instructions, called the director of the Finance Office, and then asked the two to go to the director's office to sign and collect the money.
This is not a deliberate act. It is necessary to go through the procedures of signing, fingerprinting and counting the money to collect such a large amount of cash.
As the village chief, it was naturally Gu Daqiang who was in charge of these procedures.
Huo Qianli was standing nearby, and when he saw the number, he raised his eyebrows.
One hundred and sixty thousand. Wow, Secretary Zheng not only has good acting skills, but also has enough courage!
He originally thought that one hundred thousand would be a great achievement, but he did not expect that Secretary Zheng would actually be willing to invest money for the Hushan Village matter.
While waiting silently, Huo Qianli's expression suddenly moved and his fingers began to rub involuntarily.
After thinking about it again, Huo Qianli said, "Brother, take your time here. I'm going upstairs to talk to Secretary Zheng about something."
After saying that, Huo Qianli rushed out. The photographer glanced at Liu Xiaoyu, who nodded and said, "Follow me!"
Before she ran out, Huo Qianli turned back and looked at her seriously, "Can I have a few words with the secretary alone?"
Liu Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment and had to nod.
"Secretary Zheng, I have an idea that I want to report to you."
"Don't be so polite, speak!"
"It's like this. We can use this money to repair the accommodation for the film crew. The remaining houses of the village committee will not be touched."
As soon as Huo Qianli finished speaking, Zheng Qiang's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became a little cold.
In his opinion, Huo Qianli's behavior seemed to show that he was not taken seriously and was a bit like teasing him.
Huo Qianli naturally realized this and immediately said, "Secretary, I reflect on this issue. My plan has deviated."
"When I reported to you, it was because there was indeed a need to build a new residence for the crew, and only the renovation of the village committee did not require things like land approval, and it could be reused in the future."
"But just now, I suddenly realized a problem, that is, do the rest of the rooms in the village committee really need to be renovated?"
His face was serious, and he whispered, "Maybe it can really be renovated?"
Zheng Qiang frowned slightly, as if he realized something.
Huo Qianli explained: "The entire village of Hushan is still below the poverty line, and the villagers live in poverty. If we use the money to renovate the village committee beautifully at this time, what will the public opinion react to?"
Zheng Qiang was suddenly shocked. He occasionally went online to read the news and had seen a lot of news about poor counties building luxurious government office buildings.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's do it this way. You just take the fifty thousand and fix up the crew's accommodation."
"No!" Huo Qianli was anxious, and said with a smile: "You are such a big leader, how can you take back the money you gave me!"
Zheng Qiang smiled indifferently, "Then what do you want to do with it? Although it is not limited to a specific use, it can't be used indiscriminately!"
Huo Qianli said, "It's sent."
Zheng Qiang couldn't help but laugh, "Are you thinking too simply?"
Huo Qianli chuckled, "Leader, although we are distributing money, we are not distributing it directly. Instead, we are distributing it in the form of work-for-relief."
"Work-for-relief?" Zheng Qiang was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Are you talking about your road construction?"
"Yes!" Huo Qianli explained, "We won't pay more. We'll pay 10 yuan per person per day, or even 8 yuan. Originally, the villagers didn't expect to get any money, but now they can get some, so they'll definitely be more motivated. In two months, each person can get 500 or 600 yuan. By then, the roads in the village will be repaired, and the villagers can get the money to have a good New Year."
After hearing this, Zheng Qiang remained silent, his expression clearly showing that he did not agree.
Huo Qianli said, "The leader must have a concern about balancing the relationships among the villages below. If the land is given to Hushan Village, what will happen if other villages come too? Right?"
Zheng Qiang hummed, "That's for sure. The whole town is on the same page."
