Therefore, they were both unhappy and sad in their hearts, but they dared not speak out.
Wu Aiguo clenched his fists tightly under the table. A trace of resentment flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure.
Jiang Weihua sighed softly, sneered and shook his head, with a sinister look in his eyes...
But Li Lin spoke with such finality and firm attitude that they could only sigh in their hearts, and no one dared to be the first to stand up and refute.
After all, Li Lin is the county magistrate and holds great power, so they have to consider their own weight.
Although they were dissatisfied, they also knew that a head-on confrontation with Li Lin at this time was not a wise choice.
Finally, Li Lin announced a new rule. "Next year, we in Shannan may have to tighten our belts. From today on, budgets below 50,000 yuan can be directly signed and approved by the county governors in charge. Budgets between 50,000 and 100,000 yuan must be submitted to Executive Director Wu for review. Budgets above 100,000 yuan must be approved by me before they can be disbursed."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened even more, with a look of disbelief on their faces, as if they had heard some Arabian Nights fairy tale.
In the past, the deputy county magistrate in charge could directly sign and approve budgets below 100,000 yuan, while budgets between 100,000 and 200,000 yuan would be signed by the standing committee, and budgets above 200,000 yuan would have to be submitted to the county magistrate for signature.
Li Lin's words directly cut the power of the deputy county governors in charge of various departments to approve money in half, which undoubtedly touched their "cheese". How could they not be shocked and angry? But under Li Lin's majesty, they could only swallow their dissatisfaction and anger, secretly thinking about how to deal with it next.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, let's adjourn the meeting!"
Seeing that everyone kept their heads down and didn't speak, there was no point in wasting time, so Li Lin announced the adjournment of the meeting.
He didn't even look at everyone's expressions and left with Zhang Yupei. After all, there were still many things waiting to be dealt with in the county.
Wu Aiguo and others did not rush to get up.
It was not until Li Lin left the meeting room that he took out a pack of cigarettes and gave one to each of the deputies present. Then he lit one himself, took a puff, sighed, shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, "Hey, everyone, as County Magistrate Li said, prepare to tighten your belts..."
His tone was negative and clearly complaining.
Jiang Weihua continued, "Our Shannan has always been very poor, but none of the previous county governors has been as stingy as County Governor Li. He really comes from a small family and has no vision at all... Humph, he will never be able to achieve anything big. I wonder what tricks he can come up with in Shannan!"
Everyone smoked silently and listened to Wu Aiguo and Jiang Weihua complaining, but no one dared to interrupt. They just nodded and smiled in agreement.
After all, Li Lin is their direct leader. If they say bad things about their leader behind his back and this gets to Li Lin's ears, won't he make things difficult for them?
They are wise, they know how to be afraid...but fools like Wu Aiguo and Jiang Weihua who think highly of themselves don't take Li Lin seriously at all. People who don't know would think they are so awesome...People who know are worried for them.
Soon, no one was sitting there to listen to their bragging. Without even finishing their cigarettes, everyone stood up, patted their butts, and went back to their own rooms.
Wu Aiguo, Jiang Weihua and their secretary were the only ones left in the meeting room. They felt bored, put out the cigarettes in their hands, stood up and left.
The first thing Jiang Weihua did when he returned to the office was to call the office director Wang Songlin.
He thought about it last night and still felt that Zheng Pei should be taught a lesson, otherwise, he, as the deputy county magistrate, would have no face to save face!
Wang Songlin arrived soon.
He asked Jiang Weihua if he had any instructions.
Jiang Weihua changed his usual behavior, smiled and asked Wang Songlin to sit on the sofa, and personally poured him a cup of tea.
Wang Songlin was flattered. In his impression, Jiang Weihua was a deputy county magistrate who always held himself high and looked down on others. He always treated his subordinates in a condescending and commanding manner. He had never been as approachable as he was today.
After thinking about it carefully, Wang Songlin knew that Jiang Weihua had not held back his fart, so he asked nervously, "County Magistrate Jiang, if you have anything to say, please tell me, and I will do it."
Normally, the government office was under the charge of the executive deputy county chief, and Jiang Weihua was not qualified to be in charge. However, Jiang Weihua and Wu Aiguo had a good personal relationship, so Wu Aiguo transferred the work of the government office to Jiang Weihua. As a result, Jiang Weihua's power increased, and he became more arrogant in the county government.
Jiang Weihua rubbed his hands and smiled, saying, "Old Wang, has the county party committee's organization department called on all units to select outstanding young cadres to go to the countryside to help with poverty alleviation? I have an idea and would like to discuss it with you."
Hearing this, Wang Songlin knew that Jiang Weihua already had a candidate in mind, so he nodded and said, "County Magistrate Jiang, there is such a document, which has just been issued. If you have any ideas, please let me know."
Jiang Weihua smiled and said, "My idea is to select a deputy director from the government office and send him there. This will reflect the importance our county government attaches to poverty alleviation work. Don't you agree?"
Wang Songlin hesitated for a moment and asked with concern, "County Magistrate Jiang, who do you want to send down?"
Jiang Weihua pretended to think for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "I think we should send Comrade Zheng Pei."
