"Hello, County Magistrate Zhou. Yes, I'm sorry. I, I'm blind!" the fat accountant stammered.
This made Qi Yueting laugh. Zhou Zhiyuan smiled slightly, patted her chubby shoulders, and didn't say anything.
Qi Yueting also patted his chubby shoulders cutely, and followed Zhou Zhiyuan into the general office.
The desks in Lingnan Town’s general office are covered with dust, and no one cleans them. What’s going on?
The chubby accountant was called Yang Xiaochun. He quickly invited Zhou Zhiyuan and Qi Yueting to his office for tea.
The accountant's office is quite nice, at least there is no dust.
Zhou Zhiyuan looked at Yang Xiaochun and said with a smile, "What's your name? How come Lingnan Town doesn't even have a street? Besides, where are the town party secretary, mayor, and others?"
"County Magistrate Zhou, my name is Yang Xiaochun, and I'm the accountant for Lingnan Town. I'm on duty. To be honest, there aren't many people here inspecting our work. Furthermore, since the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, not many people come to work. Most of them are in the county town, sending their children to school, or working part-time."
Zhou Zhiyuan nodded slightly, and Yang Xiaochun continued, "County Magistrate Zhou, Lingnan Town is the poorest town in the entire county, and even the entire city. They don't have the money to build streets, so those tiled houses are considered streets."
However, the office expenses of Lingnan Town are much more than those of ordinary town governments. After all, the money from all sides is consumed in disguise by the town party secretary.
Just recently, Executive Deputy County Mayor Zhou Zhiyuan went to Lingnan Town for investigation. However, Lingnan Town Party Committee Secretary Tian Xiaojun knew about it, but still played mahjong with Wenmingjun in the guesthouse. How could this be so disgraceful?
With such a work attitude and thinking, not framing the common people is already a great achievement for him!
"County Magistrate Wen, I received news that he is already in Lingnan Town and has asked a lot of questions!" Tian Xiaojun whispered.
The more Wenmingjun County Magistrate talked nonsense, the more excited he became. He smiled and said, "Secretary Tian, asking so many questions is useless. The key is to play cards well!"
Tian Xiaojun nodded repeatedly. With County Magistrate Wen's words, he felt at ease and deliberately let County Magistrate Wen play Hu.
While Yuebei City is covered in snow, Nanshan County is in the midst of "spring blossoms", especially Lingnan Town, which is simply a "paradise on earth"!
The peach blossoms are in full bloom, Zhou Zhiyuan is stunned, what's going on?
Is Nanshan really that powerful?
Zhou Zhiyuan didn't say much to Yang Xiaochun. After asking some questions about people's livelihood, he took Qi Yueting and Yang Xiaochun to visit Minshe Street in Lingnan Town. Because it didn't look like a street, however, Yang Xiaochun insisted that this was a street.
The residents on the "streets" of Lingnan Town are all dressed in rags, so why bother looking at other villages?
The only primary school in Lingnan Town was closed down. As a result, there are many elderly people, left-behind children and disabled people here, and all the labor force has left.
The manpower is almost zero. In addition, the leading cadres of the town government are inactive and act recklessly. How could Lingnan Town not become increasingly poor and backward?
Only Zhou Zhiyuan could feel the beauty of this "paradise". Both Yang Xiaochun and Qi Yueting felt that this place was too remote, too quiet, and not like a town at all!
It is impossible to return overnight, because, although crossing mountains and rivers is not a big deal, the danger is almost 100%. It is very normal to be eaten by wild animals or fall off the horse.
The only guest room in Lingnan Town Government was covered in mold, so Yang Xiaochun had no choice but to open the office of the town party committee secretary and the mayor's office and let Zhou Zhiyuan and Qi Yueting stay there.
The offices of Tian Xiaojun and the mayor are quite cozy. Although small, they have everything you need, including all the necessary electronic products.
Tian Xiaojun and the mayor's cabinets were all locked, which fully demonstrated that they were on guard once they left Lingnan Town.
It was impossible for Zhou Zhiyuan and Qi Yueting to pry open the lock to find out what was inside, and it was against the rules!
Qi Yueting took out some cooked food, a box of beer, and a bottle of white wine from the trunk of the Hummer off-road vehicle.
They ate instant noodles and started drinking in accountant Yang Xiaochun's office.
Yang Xiaochun can drink a lot, but he is still not as good as Zhou Zhiyuan, who is a seasoned drinker.
After getting drunk, Yang Xiaochun said a lot of things he shouldn't have said, and also scolded Secretary Tian Xiaojun and the town mayor for their inaction and misconduct, which caused more and more people in Lingnan Town to leave and become increasingly impoverished!
Although Zhou Zhiyuan felt that the chubby accountant Yang Xiaochun was not a good person, he still had some conscience overall. He was just used to taking advantage of others and had no party spirit or principles at all.
Lingnan Town is located in a remote area with high mountains and a distant emperor. Once there is any disturbance, they will dig up the roads in and out of Lingnan Town.
If Zhou Zhiyuan and Qi Yueting hadn't been driving a Hummer off-road vehicle, they wouldn't have been able to drive through those mounds and ditches.
Early the next morning, Zhou Zhiyuan and Qi Yueting did not eat, and left Lingnan Town safely under the escort of Yang Xiaochun.
It was very dangerous. Tian Xiaojun wanted to trap Zhou Zhiyuan in Lingnan Town. However, Yang Xiaochun escorted Zhou Zhiyuan out.
Immediately, Yang Xiaochun was dismissed from his position as accountant.
Yang Xiaochun’s wife told Qi Yueting, and Qi Yueting told Zhou Zhiyuan.
Zhou Zhiyuan was very calm and said, "Ask Yang Xiaochun to come to my office."
Qi Yueting hurried out to call Yang Xiaochun's wife, and Yang Xiaochun's wife hurriedly called the discouraged Yang Xiaochun. If the call was one minute later, Yang Xiaochun would have jumped off the roof of the guesthouse holding the Lingnan Town account book.
Yang Xiaochun ran straight to Zhou Zhiyuan's office with the account book. After reading the account book, Zhou Zhiyuan really wanted to tear Secretary Tian Xiaojun into pieces.
Zhou Zhiyuan asked Yang Xiaochun to be his driver and promised to work with Qi Yueting to find a deputy section-level position in the future.
Yang Xiaochun was overjoyed and ran home, hugging his wife and spinning around.
This makes Tian Xiaojun and Wenmingjun so angry that they are about to bleed. What does Zhou Zhiyuan mean?
Zhou Zhiyuan's next move made Tian Xiaojun and Wenmingjun even more furious. He took the Lingnan Town account book directly to the office of Secretary Nangong Hongyue.
Nangong Hongyue was intending to take down Tian Xiaojun, but he had no chance.
Nangong Hongyue joined forces with Zhou Zhiyuan and quickly captured Tian Xiaojun, the county magistrate's right-hand man.
Tian Xiaojun was thrown into prison, but Yang Xiaochun was secretly protected by Zhou Zhiyuan. After all, Zhou Zhiyuan and Qi Yueting owed Yang Xiaochun a reward.
What's more, Yang Xiaochun only received small favors from Tian Xiaojun!
To scare the monkeys, all the town party committee secretaries and mayors under Nanshan County seemed to become extremely cautious in an instant. They returned to their units overnight to stay on duty, waiting for surprise inspections by Executive Deputy County Mayor Zhou Zhiyuan and others.
Zhou Zhiyuan suggested to Secretary Nangong Hongyue that Gao Sheng, the mayor of Lingnan Town, be appointed as the secretary of the Lingnan Town Committee. In this way, at least the work could be carried out faster.
However, Secretary Nangong Hongyue smiled strangely, leaving Zhou Zhiyuan at a loss!
