Chapter 26 Meeting (Part 1)
Early in the morning, Huang Anguo and Su Qingya took a bus to Tiandu. It took about two hours to get from Tiandu in G City. At about 9:30 in the morning, Huang Anguo and Su Qingya finally arrived in Tiandu.
Huang Anguo did not stop for a long time and went straight to Tiandu Finance Bureau. After some notice, Huang Anguo came to the office of the Director of the Finance Bureau of Tiandu. Since Tiandu is a non-sub-provincial provincial capital, the Director of the Finance Bureau of Tiandu was only at the level of the department, which was at the same level as Huang Anguo. When he saw Huang Anguo coming in, Director Ruan Xiang stood up to greet him.
"Secretary Huang, come and have a drink of tea. Let's see how my tea is?" He sat down at the hospitality of Huang Anguo. Ruan Xiang brewed a pot of tea, poured a cup for Huang Anguo, and also served a cup of tea with pleasure. Looking at his expression, he recalled his exquisite and skillful movements when he made tea just now, as well as the antique tea table that looked like the purple clay tea set that was old. It was probably a great bite.
"Haha, Director Ruan, you call me Secretary Huang, that's not killing me, you'd better call me Anguo." Ruan Xiang and Huang Anguo are of the same level as Huang Anguo, and at this time they are here to ask for money from the Finance Bureau, so Huang Anguo naturally wants to be a dwarf.
"That's good, Ruan will ask you to call Anguo." Ruan Xiang was not pretentious. If he was really called Secretary Huang Anguo, he would not be comfortable. He had financial power, which could be said to be much more powerful than ordinary department-level cadres. He was rich, and he was not polite when he saw him. He was not polite when he saw him like Huang Anguo. The secretary and mayor of the county and city below were the top leaders. On his acre of three-point land, he was their top leaders. He respectfully called others, unless he was a higher level than his own.
"An Guo, it's wrong for you to drink tea like this just now. You have to taste it slowly. This is the best Tieguanyin. It has a smooth mouth and no bitterness. After swallowing it, it immediately feels sweet in the throat and a full and mellow taste. I feel the fragrance of teeth and cheeks, and the saliva is constantly produced. Like you, you swallow voraciously, like drinking boiled water, it really ruins this best tea."
Huang Anguo blushed a little embarrassedly. He had just rushed to the road, but he didn't even drink a sip of water. Now he was a little thirsty. He must have seen the bottom of the tea one after another. Besides, he was anxious to implement the funds at this time, so he was in a state of being in a hurry to taste the tea slowly. Moreover, he didn't know how to taste it. However, after hearing Ruan Xiang's words, he really felt sweet and sweet.
After drinking the tea, Huang Anguo wanted to talk about the funds, "Ruan..."
"An Guo, how about it? Do you feel the taste of this tea now? It's a pity that the tea made with pure water is a little worse. If it is pure natural well water, it will taste even better." Ruan Xiang said with a pity.
"Ruan..."
"An Guo, it seems that you don't like drinking tea. Now is the fast food era. Young people pay attention to the word "fast" when doing everything. Only the elderly like tea, which requires slow and fine grinding, haha." Ruan Xiang said intentionally or unintentionally, as if sighing that he can't keep up with the times.
After hearing Ruan Xiang's words, Huang Anguo did not immediately respond. Although he was still smiling on his face, he had already understood it in his heart. If it was his first question and Ruan Xiang changed the topic, it might be a coincidence, but the second question was still like this, it would mean it was not a coincidence. Ruan Xiang seemed to be hinting at him. The heads of the county and city below must be asking for money. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that an old fox like Ruan Xiang is now constantly distracting his topic. He should not want to let himself talk about money. Is it because he wants to give up and stop wasting his words?
Huang Anguo can be said to have basically guessed Ruan Xiang’s meaning.
Ruan Xianggui is the finance director of the provincial capital city. He usually asks him for financial subsidies. If he doesn't do some tricks, he will be annoyed every time. So he seems to be glorious, but in fact he is helpless. If he doesn't care about that little money, he, as the finance director, will be over.
Huang Anguo didn't care what Ruan Xiang meant at this time. For him, it was a big deal for money now. He said directly, "Director Ruan, I came here today to ask you for financial subsidies."
"Financial subsidies, what kind of financial subsidies? I remember that all the financial appropriations in your city G have been removed this year, and it seems to be gone." Ruan Xiang said as if he answered and also as if he was talking to himself.
"That's right. Our city g wants to build an agricultural science and technology development zone, but now there is a lack of funds and our city g is in financial difficulties. We really can't afford it, so we want to ask the Municipal Bureau for some subsidies, and hope the Municipal Bureau can help."
"An Guo, this is not a question of whether to help or not. It is not in accordance with the rules. Each department and the counties and cities below have fixed allocations. After use, it will be gone. You can only find a way for yourself. If you run to me after every place is used up, then what will our Finance Bureau become? Besides, the Finance Bureau is not very rich now."
"Director Ruan, I know, but we really have no choice but to come up with this bad decision. We should ask for subsidies with shame. Director Ruan, please help."
"Haha, I know your difficulties, but please understand my difficulties. It is not easy for me to take care of the income and expenses of a big family like Tiandu City. The rules cannot be broken."
It was enough to say this. Seeing that Ruan Xiang didn't let go, Huang Anguo had to say goodbye and leave the office.
Seeing Huang Anguo's disappointed expression coming out, Su Qingya also guessed the result.
"Secretary Huang, didn't you personally send you here as Mayor of Clock when you took office? Maybe you went to find him and he might help." Su Qingya comforted.
Hearing Su Qingya's suggestion, there was nothing he could do, so Huang Anguo and Su Qingya rushed to the municipal government again. "I hope Mayor Zhong is here today, otherwise he would run away in vain." Huang Anguo was sitting in the car and prayed helplessly in his heart.
"Secretary Huang, what did Director Ruan say just now?" Sitting in the car, the atmosphere was a little dull, and Su Qingya casually found a question and asked.
"Haha, Director Ruan's Finance Bureau is not rich in funds, and we don't have to make subsidies in accordance with the rules."
"Can we not give gifts? Now we have to give gifts when asking for help. We are empty-handed, so it's no wonder they don't agree."
"Haha, probably not. If Director Ruan had to give gifts every time he came up to get a fund, how could he still sit in this position now? He would have been invited to have tea long ago."
When we arrived at the municipal government, fortunately, Mayor Zhong was there, but he was meeting guests, so Huang Anguo could only wait in the lounge.
"Secretary Huang, others are waiting for you in City G, and you have to wait for others here, hehe." Su Qingya accompanied Huang Anguo in the lounge, and in order to pass the time, she joked with Huang Anguo.
"Who told the officials to be older than themselves? If the provincial leaders come, Mayor Zhong will refuse even if there is something big, and he will come out to greet them quickly."
However, Huang Anguo only dared to think about this idea in his heart and did not dare to say it out, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Chapter completed!
