Insufficient balance

  In the afternoon, Song Huiyun held a brief meeting in the Qinghe Town conference room, and Qi Xiaonan also put down his work to accompany him throughout.

  "A police station was only approved for one chief and one deputy, but I see that you have at least two deputy chiefs here, handling money and affairs. Who approved this? Don't tell me it's the District Public Security Bureau. The Qinghe government has issued a detailed inspection report, and Comrade Li Youzhi, the deputy director of the police station appointed by the town, has been removed from his post and will participate in the personnel reform cadre examination. This exam is a new thing, so not all cadres are participating. We decided on the departments and towns through a lottery system, with five or six departments and towns participating. Since your Qinghe Town's cadre team is very strong, I helped you report the names. Those who don't meet the standards will be unconditionally dismissed without exception." Song Huiyun was very resolute in her attitude at the meeting.

  Almost all deputy town heads and above leaders present at the meeting cursed Li Aimin and his son, calling them bastards who brought shame to Qinghe Town.

  Qizixiao Nan and Guo Kesheng were also very dissatisfied, especially Qizixiao Nan. He was about to be transferred and encountered this matter, so he had no choice but to take the exam first. If many Qinghe personnel did not meet the standards, he could only find someone to think of a solution. If there were any problems with his transfer, Li Aimin would have to stop playing around. Guo Kesheng didn't care about these things and was just dissatisfied with Li Aimin. As someone close to retirement age, he didn't need to take the exam anyway.

  After the meeting, Qi Xiaonan met with Song Huiyun alone. "Director Song, if your mind is made up and there's nothing I can say to change it, then please, for my sake, show some mercy and leave me some dignity."

  Song Huiyun knew about Qi Xiaonan's situation. Song Huiyun knew that Qi Xiaonan wanted to negotiate terms, so she asked in return: "Who will give me face?"

  Qizhao Nan thought for a moment, "Li Youzhi must be taken down, not only the hat, but also the position, he will start tomorrow and will no longer have the qualification to participate in the cadre examination."

  "Secretary Qi is pleased, and also, that Chen Gong, please take care of him, this should be no problem, right?" Song Huiyun smiled at Qi Xiaonan, speaking with someone who understands is never tiring.

  "Chen Gong? No problem at all. After the village and town reform, although he is assigned to the district land bureau, I guarantee that the position of our town's director is reserved for him. You also know that this time serving at the grassroots level is different from previous years. For more than a year, personnel can choose to stay or return on their own." Qi Xiaonan thought to herself, it turns out that this woman has some connection with Chen Gong.

  If Director Huang of the District Land Bureau knew that this time serving at the grassroots level could finally choose to belong, his feet would have kicked out bubbles.

  At this time, Chen Gong was also in a high-end coffee shop in the town with Wei Shuqin, talking to Wei Shuqin about reform.

  "Director Chen, am I taking up your time?" Wei Shuqin suddenly realized it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

  "There's no need, I'm telling you all this, you just go back and write the draft well, publish it, that's the result of our labor. So now I'm introducing the situation to you is part of the work. Moreover, the reform plan is still waiting for the municipal government's standing committee meeting, our office is sorting out some materials, no formal start yet."

  "Alright, you continue talking. After you're done, take me out to eat hot pot on the street. I was originally very happy this afternoon, but that thing made my mood bad. You have to make me happy again, otherwise I'll cry and throw a tantrum in front of you." Wei Shuqin looked at the gray sky outside, which seemed like it would rain at any moment.

  "Hey, Wei Mei, are you eating in this town tonight? Aren't you heading back to the city? Even if you drive, it'll take at least three hours or more. Where will you sleep tonight?" Chen Gong thought to himself, "You live so far away, yet you're still eating dinner here, and on top of that, hot pot which takes up a lot of time."

  "Just call me Shu Qin, stop calling me beautiful woman all the time. Let others hear that and think you're not mentally healthy, being so obsessed with appearance."

  "Oh, great, Shu Qin, Shu Qin, lyrical! What a wonderful name." Chen Gong thought to himself.

  "Alright, alright, stop yelling. I'm now specifically following the village's small reforms, except for weekends when I return to Fuhai City, during work hours I'm in Xin Qiao District and Qing He Town, so at night I drive back to Xin Qiao District downtown, very quickly, within half an hour."

  Wei Shuqin continued to ask, "Was Director Song your lover at noon? Although he's a bit older, he has a good charm, and his temperament is rich and full. He's in the prime of life, you'd better be careful."

  "Where did you say you were going? Song is actually a great benefactor of mine." After that, Chen Gong started talking about his civil service exam.

  "Look, I think Director Song might have a thing for you. I noticed the way he looks at you seems to convey some inexplicable feeling. And stop calling her 'sister' this and that, it's so cheesy. Sister-brother romance is really popular now." Wei Shuqin helped Chen Gong analyze.

  "Stop talking nonsense, what's going on in your head? Forget it, let's talk about work." As Chen Gong spoke, Song Huiyun's appearance flashed through his mind, especially her extremely full and plump chest. Chen Gong knocked on his own head, "What am I thinking?"

  On June 23, the Standing Committee of Fuhai Municipal Government was held in the third-floor conference room of Fuhai Municipal Government. Mayor Wei Chengxu presided over the meeting in person. Except for Vice Mayor and Public Security Bureau Director Fu Dalian, who was attending a meeting in the province and did not arrive, all other vice mayors arrived at the meeting venue on time.

  The first agenda of this meeting was the detailed plan for the implementation of Fuhai City's rural small school reform, carefully prepared by Chen Gong.

  Implementation Details of Fuhai City Village Small Reform Plan

  "To comprehensively popularize nine-year compulsory education and improve the overall level of Fuhai City's education industry, according to ..., this village elementary school reform scheme implementation details are hereby issued"

  "1. Village primary school students participate in local primary school entrance tests, and those who meet the corresponding grade admission requirements will be arranged to attend school and assigned to a class; Those who do not meet the corresponding grade admission requirements but meet the requirements for one year below, will be arranged by the school to enter one year below; Students who do not meet the second-grade primary school admission requirements will be uniformly arranged to re-learn in first grade."

  "2. Village school teachers participate in the unified examination of the municipal education department, and those who pass the examination are uniformly assigned to teach at local primary schools by the municipal education department; for those who fail the examination, the street, town, or township party committee and government arrange them to work in various offices according to their abilities; for teachers who meet the retirement age, urban household registration is uniformly incorporated into social insurance management, and rural collective household registration provides a one-time retirement allowance."

  "Three, the land involved in village primary schools, after the project's land acquisition and demolition is completed, each collective economic organization will extract 10% of the relocation expenses for the resettlement of retired teachers. If there is a shortage, it will be uniformly solved by the district finance. The collective economic organizations involved in extracting 10% of the relocation expenses will be included in the priority consideration list for other funding issues."

  …………

  Vice Mayor Qian Guangming, in charge of education, finished reading the draft. Mayor Wei Chengxu looked around and said, "This plan is feasible. We are also at the forefront of rural elementary school reform in the province. So let's implement this plan immediately. The pilot towns and the Municipal Education Bureau should strengthen their contacts and carry out the implementation as soon as possible. If there are any problems during the implementation process, Mayor Qian will be responsible for coordination and can also report to me. In addition, the finance bureaus, land bureaus of all districts and counties, and Qinghe Town should fully cooperate with the education department in this work."

  On June 25, the minutes of the 42nd executive meeting of Fuhai Municipal Government have been sent to relevant departments and district governments at the municipal level.

  At this time, the forced demolition team organized by Qinghe Town Demolition Office also surrounded the main gate of Liucun Village.

  Bulldozers, excavators, trucks, and sedans... the village entrance was packed with vehicles on both sides. The sirens of police cars from the public security bureau and the court kept blaring above the village. The surrounding area was crowded with people, and unrelated villagers and passersby were already isolated outside the police cordon.

  "Save the children, return them a peaceful homeland."

  Li Wenyuan and a group of teachers sat in the mailroom next to the main gate, while the students stood neatly on the playground, looking serious and solemn.

  Li Wenyan suddenly pulled out a loudspeaker from his hand, "Our school acknowledges that this land indeed belongs to the village. Although we have used it for a long time, it only counts as rental, and we have no right to dispose of this land. But what about the 76 students in our school? You just said to send them back home first and solve their problems as soon as possible. We teachers don't matter, at worst we can go to the streets to make a living by polishing shoes. But what about these students? They are still young, they cannot lose knowledge. In our poor and remote countryside, only knowledge can change their fate. Demolition is okay! But first, you must solve the problem of where the teachers and students will go. Otherwise, forget it! At worst, I'll take the students to the district, to the city to make a fuss. If you want to demolish the school, you have to demolish me first!" Li Wenyan is a very responsible teacher, with a typical stubbornness in his head. Whoever doesn't let him and the students live a good life, he won't let them live a good life either. He has the potential to become an excellent petitioning household.

  Li Aimin was also nearby, holding a loudspeaker, "Village elementary school teachers and students, you are limited to half an hour to quickly disperse, otherwise, our demolition team will forcibly enter the scene to carry out demolition work. If someone is injured as a result, our town will not take responsibility."

  Chen Gong, who was in charge of the village's renovation work, still held the position of deputy head of the temporary coordination team for the village's demolition and relocation. He stood beside Wang Zhiyuan and Ning Wenjing.

  Chen Gong had a deep affection for Li Wenxuan and the villagers, especially the children. Through his interactions with them over these days, Chen Gong deeply felt that the lives of poor people were just about "muddling through", getting by day to day. They didn't understand national policies or global situations; all they cared about was eating well, living well, and dressing well. As for the children of poor families - the second generation of poor people - if they didn't engage in illegal activities, their only hope for leaving the countryside was through education... Chen Gong knew that the government of Fuhai City had already approved his reform plan, and as soon as it arrived at Qinghe, it could be implemented immediately.

  Chen Gong walked to the village entrance when Li Ai Min was blowing his horn, "Old teacher, can't you just not make a big deal out of this? It's not good for the kids to see such a bloody society at such a young age. I've already got approval from the city for the plan I told you about, you don't need to block here, your problems will be solved soon."

  Li Wenyue wiped the sweat from his forehead with his elbow, "Little Chen, it's not that I don't trust you as a brother, nor is it that I don't trust the country and government. It's just that I don't believe in these corrupt officials!! My heart is aching."

  While Chen Gong was chatting with Li Wenxuan, Li Aimin's voice sounded in Chen Gong's ear, "Chen Gong, get out of here, what else is there to say that can't be finished, Director Wang, bring people into the school."

  Chen Gong stood in front of the village entrance, forming a big character with his body, "Li Town Chief, wait a minute, I'll be able to persuade the teachers soon. Give me another hour and the demolition will definitely go smoothly within an hour."

  "So many people are waiting for you, who do you think you are, Chen Gong? You're blocking the way again, take him away too! Come on!" Li Aimin was furious with Chen Gong now that his son had been kicked out of the police force.

  Two policemen immediately walked towards Chen Gong, ready to pull him aside. "Let you wait another hour, damn it, must force me?" After finishing, a fist was slapped on Li Aimin's face.

  "He's beaten him, he's beaten him! Get him arrested for me. I'll definitely fire you and expel you!" Li Aimin covered his face with both hands as two police officers came over to pin Chen's hands behind his back.

  Chen Gong, although being controlled, kept shouting in his mouth, "You are the people's police, if you dare to hurt teachers and students, I will report you to the Beijing Municipal Government, to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of Huaxia, and I will bring you all down!……" followed by some unpleasant words.

  "Find something to shut his mouth and stop him from making any more noise, then take him away immediately." Li Aimin commanded several police officers.

  Just then, a black Honda stopped in front of Li Aimin and others.

  "Hu, Li Aimin, can't you even wait for an hour for a peaceful relocation? If the teachers and students don't leave after an hour, it's not too late to use force. Do you have the people in your heart? You are temporarily suspended from duty, go back and rest for two weeks." Qi Xiaonan's serious voice came from inside the Honda car.
