Mr. Xiao's words almost froze the atmosphere in the conference room.
No one expected that Mr. Xiao would just say forget about the event as soon as he opened his mouth?
This has been planned for several months!
The most excited person must be Wang Zhenguo, who stood up on the spot and said loudly: "Mr. Xiao, this event cannot be cancelled. We have been busy for so long. County Magistrate Qin did it on purpose. The county finances cannot be without money. Don't be influenced by him."
"That's right, this event cannot be cancelled."
"How can a reunion meeting prepared for so many retired comrades be cancelled just like that?"
"Mr. Xiao, you can't do this!"
...
A group of old cadres, under the influence of Wang Zhenguo, became anxious and stood up and shouted loudly.
"Quiet!"
Xiao Bo listened to the noisy voices in his ears, knocked on the table, and said: "You can raise your opinions, but don't make a fuss. This is an office, not a vegetable market!"
After all, he was the executive vice minister of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. In terms of majesty, no one dared to compare with him.
After saying this, the office instantly became quiet.
"Since this Mid-Autumn Festival Reunion Conference is held in Huaining County and Huaining County pays for it, should we seek the opinion of the top leader of Huaining County?"
Xiao Bo continued: "By the way, where is the top leader? I remember it is a comrade named Yu, right? Why is he not here?"
"Secretary Yu took sick leave!"
Qin Mu said: "He entrusted me to preside over the work of the county party committee and county government!"
"Is that so? Then County Magistrate Qin, you are now the top leader of Huaining County. From your point of view, is it necessary to hold this Mid-Autumn Festival Reunion Conference?"
Xiao Bo got straight to the point and asked directly.
"I think it can be done, but it's not necessary."
Qin Mu pondered for a moment and spoke.
The art of language is profound. If you say it's not necessary, then the meaning is too direct and rude, but if you say it from another angle, the meaning is completely different.
"You say it's not necessary, then it's not necessary. In front of Mr. Xiao, you..."
"Wang Zhenguo, shut up!"
As soon as Qin Mu finished speaking, Wang Zhenguo was particularly dissatisfied. He stood up immediately and wanted to refute Qin Mu, and he wanted to teach Qin Mu a lesson in the name of Mr. Xiao.
If Xiao Bo didn't know Qin Mu's identity, it would be fine. Now that he knew Qin Mu's true identity, how could he let Wang Zhenguo teach Qin Mu in his name?
Naturally, he cursed directly!
This...
After being yelled at by Old Xiao, Wang Zhenguo's face flushed red. Usually, he appeared as Old Xiao's most loyal follower. Others also knew that Old Xiao was quite polite to Wang Zhenguo, but this yell today was too unexpected.
"Wang Zhenguo, you are a retired old comrade, you must have political awareness."
Xiao Bo said seriously: "Comrade Qin Mu is the current deputy secretary of the Huaining County Party Committee, the acting county magistrate, and a leading comrade appointed by the county party committee secretary to preside over the work of the Huaining County Party Committee. You should be more respectful!"
"You are yelling and shouting, how can you be so rude!"
Wang Zhenguo, whose face was already flushed, wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Old Xiao, I know I was wrong."
He was in his sixties or seventies, with a flushed face, lowered his head, and tugged at the corner of his clothes, like a child who had done something wrong.
Wang Zhenguo felt that he was so embarrassed!
And all this was caused by Qin Mu!
When Old Xiao left, he would settle accounts with this guy sooner or later!
"Sit down!"
Xiao Bo waved his hand, then looked at Qin Mu and asked, "County Magistrate Qin, you just said that it can be done, but it is not necessary. What does it mean specifically? Can you tell us all?"
"Yes!"
Qin Mu nodded and said, "It can be done. It means that there are indeed many retired cadres who have made contributions to the country and the people in the past. Gathering together and holding a reunion meeting can take care of the spiritual and entertainment needs of the group of retired cadres. It is understandable to spend some money!"
"But now there are still many poor people in Jiangzhou, and even in the entire Jiangnan Province, who have not yet escaped poverty. The poor people, three million to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival reunion meeting, just let the retired cadres enjoy a night of happiness, but if these three million are used for poverty alleviation, more than a dozen roads can be built to connect villages, helping thousands of poor residents to improve their quality of life and even make a fortune! "
"Mr. Xiao, you are a respected senior, tell me, is this activity necessary?"
"I believe that all the comrades present are public servants, have served the people, and must hope that the people live better. Isn't it a better thing to let these millions serve more people?"
Pretend!
Just pretend!
A group of old cadres headed by Wang Zhenguo listened to Qin Mu's words with disdain in their tone. What big things can be done with just these few million?
Is it interesting to sing these high-sounding words all day long?
"Qin Mu, what you said is too empty, I think..."
"Well said!"
"Pa pa ...
"No, you heard wrong. I think your comrade has a very high political consciousness and is a promising talent!"
Liu Zhaolong said seriously: "You will definitely have a bright future in Huaining County!"
"Thank you for the compliment from Deputy Mayor Liu. I will definitely work hard."
Qin Mu chuckled and said modestly.
"Mr. Xiao, then this Mid-Autumn Festival Reunion Meeting..."
Liu Zhaolong was so angry that he just wanted to end this farce. He immediately looked at Xiao Bo and asked.
"Listen to Comrade Qin Mu's opinion and cancel it!"
Xiao Bo said in a deep voice: "In the future, don't hold such activities that waste people's money and labor. Whether it is the incumbent leaders or the retired old comrades, they should put the people first, because we are a country where the people are the masters. You must always keep this in mind!"
"Mr. Xiao said well!"
This time, Qin Mu was the first to applaud and applauded.
The Standing Committee meeting against Qin Mu, which was carefully planned by Yu Xuewen and Wang Zhenguo, ended without a sound.
Everyone in the entire county party committee standing committee knew that there was definitely some special relationship between Qin Mu and Old Xiao!
With Old Xiao's support, the situation in Huaining County was about to change.
