Chapter 7: One Thousand Yuan Budget

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Hmm! That's more like it! Chun, Aunt Shui, you are a local, could you tell me about the Tianshui Basin? Of course, the more detailed, the better

Hehe! The leader is more approachable, and the benefits should not go to outsiders! That woman smiled broadly, revealing a row of pearly white teeth

"1,000 yuan," Li Chun said with a smile.

It seems that the situation in this village is indeed complex. Even the village head, who is a member of the Wu family, could not mediate the issue. It appears that we can only proceed step by step.

"Only... only 1000 yuan, what can it be used for?" Ye Fan almost shouted, his eyes wide open like copper bells. He thought to himself that this 1000 yuan would be spent in just a few meals at a restaurant. His current team leader, who was of a proper rank, turned out to be worth only 1000 yuan.

The Eight Immortals cross the sea, each demonstrating their own abilities. They all rely on their connections to seek funds, and those department heads who manage to secure money enjoy great prestige, while their subordinates are content to support them. In contrast, department heads without funds have to pay for their own meals, and their subordinates occasionally stir up minor conflicts. Take the Family Planning Office as an example; it still relies on fines. Alas! Our work group is entirely dependent on Team Leader Ye.

"Hehe! I did my best," Ye Fan said with a bitter smile, cursing inwardly: "What a ridiculous situation, I came to Yuyang County all alone and don't know anyone here. If I go to the county, I probably won't even be able to get past the county chief's door. As a beggar, I wouldn't be able to collect much money either. Without money, it seems that both Miss Chunshui and Liu Chi would look down on me. Sigh! This team leader position is truly not something an ordinary person can handle. However, I just heard Miss Chunshui say that if we can solve the major issues at the Tianshui Dam, the county committee seems to have promised to promote someone to a deputy section chief position, and it would be a real deputy section chief like a deputy town head."

When Ye Fan was a child, he inadvertently met an old Taoist priest with the surname Fei in a dilapidated temple not far from his home. At that time, he saw the thin old priest squatting alone in front of an ancient grass-covered grave, playing chess by himself.

As soon as he thought of the actual position of Deputy Section Chief, Ye Fan's mind began to stir again; it would be a lie to say he did not want to be an official

The two arrived at a place called Chunxiang Restaurant, but Liu Chi, that fellow, was nowhere to be found when called to discuss work. As soon as he heard there was food, he arrived faster than anyone else, already at the entrance of Chunxiang Restaurant, with a two-finger-wide fried fish stick in his mouth, chewing away.

Ye Fan quickly turned around, pretending to be about to order, while observing the rustic dishes displayed on the wooden board.

Ye Fan was like a big gray wolf, luring Little Red Riding Hood, his gaze fixed intently on Li Chun. Subtly, he also swept his eyes over the moderate peaks on her chest, causing her to gradually lower her head.

"Chun Meizi, how could you bear to come to my little restaurant today!" A woman with a face like a lotus and a generous bosom walked out, swaying her ample hips and greeted warmly. Upon seeing Ye Fan, she paused for a moment, her gaze peculiar, and said with a smile: "Chun Meizi, when did you start bringing someone along without telling me? Come, come, let's go inside and sit..."

Li Chun fully understands the situation in the town and shakes his head as he speaks

Ye Fan felt a chill in his heart and comforted himself casually. Looking at the time, it seemed to be around lunchtime. He then smiled and said: "Chun Shui, I will treat you to lunch today. Let's go to a restaurant in town and have something casual. Oh! Call Liu Chi as well, if he's free, invite him to join us."

I almost lost control; it seems the master was right. I am still a bit inexperienced and need to practice that "health preservation technique" more diligently

Even the speculation that Mayor Wu's incident yesterday seems to be related to the Tianshui Dam has been mentioned

Spring | The water gently poured the situation of the Tian Shui Dam into the bamboo tube—everything was revealed.

Ye Fan felt anxious and took a moment to calm himself before lowering his proud head

I really cannot believe that the second largest town in Yuyang County, apart from the urban area, is so impoverished. Ye Fan thought to himself and casually asked, "How can the other departments carry out their work without any operational funds?"

Ye Fan smiled

"Auntie Biao, what are you saying? This is Team Leader Ye, my superior. They are a university graduate."

Oh! It has been approved, how much has been approved? Ye Fan was also somewhat excited. After all, he had the authority to issue approvals, which is one of the benefits of being an official. The funds of the state could be determined by his single stroke of the pen

Li Chun quickly interrupted her words, fearing that Shui might say something even more explicit about her aunt.

Li Chun explained, "Our Linquan Town is a large town, with a population of approximately 60,000. The number of staff working for the town government, who are on the state payroll, is estimated to be around 150. There are more than a dozen offices, including the People's Congress Office, Family Planning Office, Civil Affairs Office, Comprehensive Management Office, Agricultural Machinery Station, Enterprise Station, and so on. Although the town is large, the funding is extremely tight. The town relies on collecting a small amount of tea tax and agricultural tax, and uses the excuse of being a poor town in a poor county to seek assistance everywhere just to get by. Apart from a few poorly performing factories, there are basically no enterprises; it is really difficult to make ends meet! It seems that even the teachers' salaries have been owed for several months. Yesterday, Mayor Wu went, and all these troubling issues fell squarely on Secretary Qin's shoulders."

Li Chun smiled gently, almost captivating Ye Fan's soul, and thought to himself: "Having a pure and innocent younger sister to work with is quite nice"

"How can that be! You are the team leader, and I am still somewhat of a local. It should be me treating you."

It was not bad, but one should know that a few days ago, Director Tie Mingxia from the Comprehensive Governance Office went to ask Director Wang for activity funds, and in the end, he did not obtain a single cent

"Auntie Biao, if you say that again, I won't come anymore." Li Chun's face twisted as a small red cloud appeared on it

"Giggling! No more talking. Team Leader Ye, please take a seat upstairs." The woman deliberately bent down, her two large breasts swaying and pressing together, instantly provoking a natural reaction from Ye Fan below.

It was brought up early. This morning, Director Wang asked me to manage the finances of the team. He said that any invoices in the team should first be approved by the team leader, and then I can handle them before directly submitting them for approval to Secretary Qin.

In that case, since the town places such importance on our working group, there should be some allocated activity funds for us. Please ask Director Wang to see if we can secure some funding

Li Chun glanced at Ye Fan with profound meaning after finishing his words about water

Team Leader Ye, Tianshuiba Village has a population of over 10,000, divided into 10 natural villages. There are the Upper Three Villages, the Middle Three Villages, and the Lower Three Villages, plus a central village. The villagers belong to three surnames: Wu, Li, and Ye. Mayor Wu comes from the Wu family, and these three clans each have their own clan leader and elder council. It is said that their clan history can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty... I learned this from their genealogy. The main issue is that none of these three clans are willing to yield to one another. Whenever there is a matter affecting the clans, it is common for members of a clan to gather and fight.

Whenever there is a matter affecting the clans, it is common for members of a clan to gather and fight. They argue over water, land, mountains, and forests... Sometimes, when members of two clans marry, if the couple gets into a fight, the clan leader has to step in to save face. Alas! It is difficult to handle...
