Why is it him?
Xiao Bo was actually more surprised than Qin Mu. Although he was old and his memory was not good, he clearly remembered that the man in front of him was next to Qin Lao last Saturday.
He asked Qin Lao who the other person was at that time, and Qin Lao just casually said: junior!
At that time, Xiao Bo didn't care, thinking that this person was from Qin Lao's family. After all, the Qin family was so big, it was normal for several juniors to follow Qin Lao.
But today in Huaining County, he actually met the other person again.
"This is Xiao Lao, the former executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. He just retired and is our old predecessor and old comrade."
Liu Zhaolong introduced Xiao Bo's identity to Qin Mu in a serious manner. Obviously, he wanted to remind Qin Mu that this old man's identity was not simple. You kid, you have to be a little careful. If you dare to disobey, you will be arrested at any time.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao!"
Qin Mu smiled slightly, walked forward, took the initiative to shake Mr. Xiao's hand, and said: "I am the acting county magistrate of Huaining, my name is Qin Mu!"
Qin Mu!
As soon as these two words came out, Mr. Xiao was shocked, and a nervous look flashed in his eyes.
What he was nervous about was naturally the other party's surname!
Surname Qin!
He was so young, and in his trance, he could still see a trace of Mr. Qin's young look on Qin Mu, which made him more certain in his heart.
This person must be the direct descendant of Mr. Qin.
Could it be... his grandson?
Oh my God!
Mr. Xiao's heart has begun to panic.
This panic, he couldn't explain it. He asked himself that he hadn't made any mistakes, but he just felt scared, worried that he had done something wrong and was caught by the other party, and then told Mr. Qin.
"Mr. Xiao, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Zhaolong thought that Mr. Xiao was going to say something to Qin Mu, because on the way, he emphasized that the funds for the Mid-Autumn Festival Reunion Conference had not been allocated for a long time, and it was all the fault of this county magistrate. As a result, when they met now, he couldn't say a word?
"No... It's okay!"
Xiao Bo forced himself to be calm, shook his head slightly, and said: "County Magistrate Qin is really... Really young... A handsome man... He will definitely have... A bright future in the future!"
Uh...
What do you mean?
You are praising me?
Now, it was Liu Zhaolong's turn to be confused!
"Thank you for Mr. Xiao's affirmation!"
Qin Mu smiled slightly, thanked him, and then said: "Mr. Xiao, Deputy Mayor Liu, how about we sit down in the conference room and talk?"
"Yeah!"
Liu Zhaolong responded, and then walked in front with Xiao Bo, walking into the county party committee building, seizing the opportunity, and whispered a reminder to Mr. Xiao.
"Mr. Xiao, you have to show your authority later and talk to County Magistrate Qin about the importance of the Mid-Autumn Festival Reunion Meeting. The money must be allocated today, otherwise, the reunion meeting cannot be held!"
Liu Zhaolong emphasized the urgency of time.
"Oh!"
However, Xiao Bo's mind was not on this at all, and he just replied casually.
What's going on?
Liu Zhaolong was a little confused. Mr. Xiao's condition today was a little bit off. He was still energetic when he got off the car. How come he seemed to have Alzheimer's disease in just a few minutes?
He couldn't speak clearly?
Little did he know that Mr. Xiao was now comparing Qin Mu and Mr. Qin in his mind, trying to see what similarities there were between the two.
It would be fine if he didn't compare them, but he was shocked when he did!
Some of Qin Mu and Mr. Qin's facial features were really similar, and their expressions were also somewhat similar. They must be related by blood.
The more he thought about it, the more nervous Mr. Xiao was!
After sitting down in the conference room, Liu Zhaolong, the current top leader, began to give a long speech. This was also the topic of today. He spoke first, and then Mr. Xiao took over and asked Qin Mu to allocate funds as soon as possible.
"The Municipal Party Committee attaches great importance to this Mid-Autumn Festival Reunion Conference. It is a cordial greeting to our retired cadres and a demonstration of our country's care for retired cadres. We are a country that respects the elderly and loves the young. Retired cadres have made outstanding contributions. We want..."
After a few minutes of official talk, he moved to the point, "County Magistrate Qin, our Municipal Party Committee hopes that Huaining County will take out 5 million yuan as the activity funds for this Mid-Autumn Festival Reunion Conference. Do you have any difficulties?"
What the hell?
How did it become 5 million again?
Qin Mu didn't want to give it originally, and now he got even angrier when he heard this number, "Deputy Mayor Liu, didn't you say three million before? Why did it become five million again?"
"I discussed this issue with Mr. Xiao."
Liu Zhaolong waved his hand slightly and said, "This Mid-Autumn Festival Reunion Conference invited many retired cadres from the province and the city to participate, so we think that three million is still too little. Increasing the activity funds is also to make this event better, so that Jiangzhou and Huaining County will have more face!"
"Right, Mr. Xiao?"
Liu Zhaolong said this and passed the words to Mr. Xiao.
According to the prior agreement, Mr. Xiao should stand up and emphasize how high the level of this event is, how many big leaders will come to participate, and then criticize Comrade Qin Mu for his low political awareness and long-term perspective!
After all, he came from the Organization Department, and his speech level must be very high. With an old cadre like Mr. Xiao taking action, Qin Mu will definitely be able to be subdued with words.
But this time, Mr. Xiao, who was always eloquent, was silent. After a long while, he still didn't say anything.
"Mr. Xiao?"
Liu Zhaolong hurriedly called out again, wanting the other party to speak quickly.
"Ah... where were you talking about?"
Xiao Bo came back to his senses and asked in confusion.
"Mr. Xiao, Deputy Mayor Liu said that you want to increase the activity funds and ask us to pay 5 million to hold this reunion meeting?"
Qin Mu asked directly with a strong dissatisfaction in his tone.
This...
Mr. Xiao dare not admit it!
If it were someone else, he could directly ask loudly, what's wrong with 5 million?
So many retired comrades finally got together to hold an event, what's the problem with paying 5 million?
Such a big county government, can't afford 5 million?
But now, he dare not!
The relationship between County Magistrate Qin and Old Qin was complicated. He dared to admit it. If the other party complained to Old Qin, he would be finished.
"Ahem... How is it possible? I didn't say that."
Xiao Bo denied it directly, "This is Zhaolong's proposal. I think this event is too costly. Five million is too much. In fact, three million is also a lot. If the financial situation of Huaining County is not rich, then... forget it!"
What?
As soon as these words came out, Liu Zhaolong was dumbfounded!
Not only Liu Zhaolong, but all the other people in the conference room, except Qin Mu, were dumbfounded!
They only had one thought: Is Old Xiao crazy?
After planning the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion meeting for so long, he finally said: forget it?
What's crazy?
