Chapter 40 Heavyweight

While helping Zhao Changfeng collect money, Mo Rigen said, "County Magistrate, you are so lucky. You can kill at four o'clock. This is the first time I have seen it!"

Some leaders of the Tourism Bureau have poor psychological quality. Seeing that the banknotes were sent out one by one, although they were squeezing on their faces, sweat was coming out on their foreheads. Some people even called to notify the hotel to send money when they saw that there were not many banknotes left in their bags.

Zhao Changfeng smiled and signaled Bao Xiaofei to stop and not deal the cards. He looked around and finally turned his eyes to Tao Xingwang's face. He smiled and said, "Director Tao, I'm so lucky today. It seems that you are stealing chickens and losing rice."

Tao Xingwang said with a smile: "County magistrate, you will never fail easily. Whoever wins and loses is still between the two!" As he said that, he turned his head to look at his deputy and said with a smile: "Comrades, do you think so?"

"Yes!" Everyone replied in unison: "County magistrate, if we don't have the final battle, how do you know that we can't win your money?"

Zhao Changfeng laughed and said, "Comrades, you have a commendable courage! But..." He waved his hand gently, "But I won't give you a chance today. I think of me as a share of pork, next time?"

Some leaders of the Tourism Bureau were relieved, but Tao Xingwang and other motivated leaders were a little disappointed, feeling that they had not achieved their goal yet, and only left a little good impression on County Mayor Xiao Zhao. How could this work? At least lose another 30,000 or 50,000 yuan to make County Mayor Xiao Zhao have a good impression of him!

Zhao Changfeng looked down at the pile of money in front of him, and estimated that it was about 170,000 or 80,000. The leaders of the Tourism Bureau lost about 20,000 per person. He was really rich. He reached out and pushed the banknotes in front of him onto the table and said, "Okay, today is just a game. I will keep the money here, and whoever loses will get it back by himself."

The leaders of the Tourism Bureau were stunned. Maybe? I spit out the fat meat I ate? You heard it right! Someone even bit his tongue secretly, and the pain from the tip of the tongue told them that this was not a dream, it was true.

"County magistrate, this is not suitable, right?" Tao Xingwang said hurriedly: "I am willing to accept the loss of the bet. Where can I withdraw the money after winning the land? No, it's not good!"

"Yes, county magistrate, this is not good!" others also said angrily: "According to the rules of eastern Guangdong, playing cards requires a distinction between winning and losing, and returning the winning money, which is unlucky."

"What's unlucky? I don't believe this." Zhao Changfeng laughed. He said, "Since you pay attention to this, then okay, I will take a lottery." As he said, he reached out to pile up the money and took out a stack of banknotes, and said, "These are my lottery, and who should be the rest. Is this OK?"

Tao Xingwang shook his head helplessly, and when they said this, if they persisted, it would be a little bad. So they had to turn their heads and smile and say to their deputies: "Why are you standing stupid? Why don't you thank the county magistrate?"

The deputy reacted and thanked Zhao Changfeng in a verbal manner and took out their own banknotes from the pile of money. They were naturally well-educated to be able to sit in this position. Everyone knew how much they should get back. There was absolutely no one who took advantage of the opportunity to get a few more banknotes.

"That's right!" Seeing everyone split the money, Zhao Changfeng smiled and stuffed the stack of money in his hand to Mo Rigen, saying, "Director Rigen. I'll give you this money. You will serve me in the evening. Please invite the comrades from the Tourism Bureau to have a simple meal and have some fun."

"Yes, County Magistrate!" Mo Rigen replied. His eyes looked at Zhao Changfeng were full of admiration. Boss Xiao Zhao was really clever in playing this trick, and he easily bribed the hearts of the people of the Tourism Bureau. But then again, being able to play this trick also requires ambition and demeanor. Mo Rigen asked himself. If he placed him in Zhao Changfeng's position, he would be confident that he would not have the demeanor and return all the 170,000 to 180,000 yuan in cash he won without blinking.

Tao Xingwang and other leaders of the Tourism Bureau also admired Zhao Changfeng inexplicably. They originally thought that County Magistrate Xiao Zhao was a corrupt official, but judging from his attitude today, County Magistrate Xiao Zhao didn't care about money at all! At this time, they even believed in the popular rumors in the officialdom of Yuehai County that County Magistrate Xiao Zhao was born as a prince, and only the prince who was born from a wealthy person would not care about this little money.

Zhao Changfeng looked back and looked at his watch. Mo Rigen immediately said, "The county magistrate has to go back for a meeting in the afternoon. Let's go here first today. I will come here to drink with my comrades in the evening. How about it?"

Tao Xingwang made a lot of face in front of County Magistrate Xiao Zhao today, and of course he knew how to stop when he was good. He said, "It's a pity that the time is too short. I will definitely go to the county magistrate to have fun some time another day!"

Zhao Changfeng heard the intentional approach in Tao Xingwang's words, and said with a smile: "No problem, if you have time, you can sit in me and taste the Maojian tea I brought from Zhongyuan Province."

"Okay!" Tao Xingwang's bones were lighter by two and a half. He said excitedly: "I have heard that the taste of Maojian in Xinyang, a region in Central Plains, is unique among famous Chinese teas, and I have never had the chance to give it a try!"

"Okay." Zhao Changfeng said as he walked out: "When your Tourism Bureau comes back from the inspection outside, I will invite everyone to have tea in my place."

Tao Xingwang followed Zhao Changfeng and smiled. He kept saying, "County Magistrate, our Tourism Bureau will start to implement your instructions in the afternoon. We will report the inspection plan to you within two days."

Everyone in the Tourism Bureau surrounded Zhao Changfeng to the No. 2 special car in Yuehai County, and led by Tao Xingwang, stepped forward to shake hands and say goodbye to Zhao Changfeng. Then, under their respectful eyes, the Black Duke King carried Zhao Changfeng away.

It was not until the Duke King disappeared from his sight for a long time that Tao Xingwang and others reluctantly retracted their gaze. County Magistrate Xiao Zhao came to investigate this time, which made the leaders of the Tourism Bureau full of excitement, especially Tao Xingwang, especially. He clenched his fists tightly and felt secretly proud in his heart: County Magistrate Xiao Zhao supported and valued so much, and the day for the Tourism Bureau to turn over has finally come!

According to the schedule set by Mo Rigen, Zhao Changfeng conducted an orderly investigation in county-level units.

At the same time, Executive Deputy County Mayor Dong Jinkun and Deputy County Mayor Wu Guoyong led the Labor Bureau and the Environmental Protection Bureau to launch a vigorous environmental protection inspection and labor employment system inspection in Yuehai County. Although the two Wu Guoyong and Dong Jinkun had different starting points, the two deputy county magistrates meticulously implemented the instructions of County Mayor Zhao Changfeng and rectified illegal pollutant discharge enterprises and enterprises where labor employment system were violated. Many enterprises received notices of suspension of work and rectification, while more companies were given heavy payments. For a time, many shoemaking enterprises in Yuehai County were in chaos and asked various related matters to the Environmental Protection Bureau and the Labor Bureau to plead or put pressure on them. However, these were coldly pushed back by the Environmental Protection Bureau and the Labor Bureau. They only had one sentence, and it would be useless to find us. If they wanted to find us, they would go to County Mayor Wu and County Mayor Dong. If they spoke, we would be able to say anything.

So the pressure was pushed to Wu Guoyong and Dong Jinkun. Wu Guoyong also said one thing, it would be useless for you to find me. This is County Mayor Zhao Changfeng’s decision. Whoever has the ability will go to County Mayor Zhao!

Dong Jinkun did not push the pressure to Zhao Changfeng. He just said coldly: "It's useless for anyone you come to! This major inspection targets all enterprises in the county, not just you. Instead of spending so much time finding relationships with others, you companies might as well save your energy and spend all on rectifying the labor employment system!"

Since Zhao Changfeng focused on the shoemaking enterprises in Housha Town at the county magistrate's office meeting, the two special inspection teams of Dong Jinkun and Wu Guoyong also started from Housha Town. Housha Town, a major shoe industry in Yuehai County, was particularly affected in this inspection, and 80% of the enterprises were imposed huge fines. These business owners went to Housha Town Town Committee and Town Government every day to complain, and made the Housha Town Town Committee Secretary Xuan Tianrong and the mayor Wang Ducheng so hard that they dared not meet these business owners. These are all the God of Wealth in Housha Town. It is precisely with these bosses that Housha Town's economy can rank second in Yuehai County. Now these two major inspections have offended these God of Wealth. How can Xuan Tianrong and Wang Ducheng not be anxious?

Not to mention how Xuan Tianrong and Wang Ducheng were, we brought the topic back to Zhao Changfeng.

That morning, Zhao Changfeng went to the county finance bureau for investigation. After the meeting, he was about to have dinner with the leaders of the finance bureau, but the director of the finance bureau, Long Qiangtao's cell phone rang. When he saw the number, he did not dare to neglect. He immediately answered the phone with a smile on his face. He said a few words, nodded constantly, and then took the phone and walked up to Zhao Changfeng carefully with his cell phone, covering his phone and said, "County Magistrate, Zhang Xiaoqiang, the phone number of Zhang Xiaoqiang, Zhang, the Treasury Department of Haizhou Finance Bureau."

"Treasury Department?" Zhao Changfeng frowned slightly. He was deputy mayor in Taipei City for two years. He dealt with the Finance Bureau all day long, so he naturally understood the various disciplines in the Finance Bureau. There are two key departments in the Finance Bureau, one is the Budget Department, and the other is the Treasury Department. These two departments can be said to have controlled the lifeline of the Finance Bureau.

For example, the head of the Budget Section is responsible for the key positions that allocate funds to party and government organs, enterprises, institutions and people's organizations in the city. Although he is only a section chief, the top leaders of other municipal departments, and the county and district chiefs of the county and districts below have to give up their positions in order to obtain financial allocations, and have a friendship with a small section chief as the honor of a department-level cadre.
