Chapter 8 Finding a Way

  Insufficient balance

  "Director Li, the document has been issued. Director Guo's intention is to establish a temporary coordination team for village demolition and relocation, and also Chen Gong, who was specifically mentioned by Director Guo as the deputy leader of the coordination team." Ning Wenjing reported to Director Li.

  "Alright, you've worked hard, go out first, I'll review the list."

  At night, "Secretary Qi, slow down a bit, you're always in such a hurry" A woman was taking off her top.

  A man is kissing a woman from her forehead down to her waist, and the man is none other than Qi Xiaonan, the secretary of Qinghe.

  "You little demon, you always make me exhausted. I have a meeting in the district tomorrow morning, so I shouldn't overexert myself today. You serve me." Qi Xiaonan said as he let go of the woman, took off his clothes and pants, and sat naked on the edge of the bed.

  The woman slowly walked to the bedside, in front of Qi Xiaonan, and suddenly knelt down on the ground, opening Qi Xiaonan's legs. "I guarantee to serve Secretary Qi well," she said, burying her head downwards.

  ……

  After the rain stops and the clouds disperse.

  "Uh, good, they're quite active in doing this illegal and disorderly thing. The relationship is complicated, you organize the materials in your hand and give me a copy, I'll also get some leverage on Guo Kesheng and Li Aimin. These two guys are also not reporting to me, which saves me the trouble. If something happens, it's all the government's responsibility, so I'll let them deal with it." Qi Xiaonan lay on the edge of the bed, hugging the woman's back.

  "No problem, Secretary Qi. By the way, when will you also make me a full director? I've been deputy director for three years now." This woman was Ning Wenjing, the deputy director of the demolition office.

  Qī Xiào Nán's hands unconsciously reached out from behind Ning Wén Jìng and grasped her chest, then rested on top. "It all depends on your performance now."

  At night, in Teacher Li Wen Yuan's home in Village Small.

  "Comrade Xiao Chen, look at how big the difference is between people who are also government personnel. Those people were fierce and menacing during the day, trying to intimidate me, wanting me to back down, not even giving me a chance." Li Wenyue said, finishing off the wine in his cup.

  "Teacher Li, don't be too extreme either. Raise some reasonable demands and have a good talk with the government. It's not like they'll ignore you after the demolition is done. The town will immediately research your education and placement work." Chen Gong tried to make the village school demolition work go smoothly.

  "Comrade Chen Gong! You don't really think that your town will specially study the placement of teachers and students after the school is demolished, do you?" Li Wenshuang looked at Chen Gong.

  "The town leader told me about it before, so it shouldn't be wrong." Chen Gong thought for a moment and didn't see any problem with this step.

  "Chen Gong, you're a good person, but do you know that if we move away now, I guarantee that for half a year, one year, or even several years, no one will care about us? To put it bluntly, our village can be called a 'private elementary school', once the territory is gone, who will care?"

  At this moment, a little girl walked in. School had been closed for the past few days and she was a village elementary school student who came to Li Wenyue's home for tutoring.

  Chen Gongduan brought two cups of water and placed them in front of Chen Gong and Li Wenyuan, "Uncle, don't drink too much wine, you and the teacher should drink more water."

  "Little fellow, are you a student of Village Elementary School? What's your name?" Chen Gong asked her.

  The girl replied, "My name is Zhao Xiaoyan, I'm a fifth-grader here, and I'm the class monitor. There are ten people in our class." The girl's face was dirty, as if she had smeared mud on it, and she had two ponytails tied up.

  Chen Gong looked at Zhao Xiaoyan's expression and felt a little sour in his heart. Zhao Xiaoyan continued, "Uncle, can we not move away? We need to go to school, learn knowledge, and then find work to let our parents live a good life."

  Chen Gong also experienced his student days, but never thought that this poor child from a remote and impoverished village had what kind of life. "Xiao Yan, tell Uncle Chen about your family and school, okay?"

  Zhaoyan nodded and talked about the situation at home and school. Because her mother had been bedridden since she was very young, she needed money for medical treatment all the time. Her father worked hard to earn some medical expenses, and his figure almost appeared on many construction sites in Fuhai City. At home, only she and her grandmother took care of her mother. She knew that going to school was not easy, so during her elementary school years, she studied particularly hard...

  Chen Gong listened to Zhao Xiaoyan's brief account, took out 1,000 yuan in cash from his bag, and said, "Xiaoyan, take the money and buy some medicine for your mother to use for now."

  Zhao Xiaoyan pushed the money away. "No, Uncle Chen, I don't want it. I will work hard myself and use my own money to pay for mom's medical treatment when I get a job."

  "You can wait, but your mother can't. Even if you want to earn money yourself, you have to let your mother's illness get better first, or else how will it be cured in the future? So, take this for now and return it to Uncle later." Chen Gong forced the money into Zhao Xiaoyan's hands.

  "Uh," Zhao Xiaoyan hesitated.

  "Xiao Yan, take it, Teacher Li wants to help your mom, but Teacher Li is poor. Uncle Chen is a good person, take it." Li Wenxuan knew that Chen Gong was determined to send the money out.

  Chen Gong looked at Zhao Xiaoyan who was about to speak, "This money doesn't collect interest. Take it, or I'll think you're looking down on the amount."

  "It's not," said Zhao Xiao Yan and then took the money into her hands.

  "Teacher Li, I'll go back and report to the leaders again, let them try to advance your settlement work as much as possible. The students and parents at the entrance of the village school don't have to surround so many people. I guarantee that even if there is no one in the school, if someone wants to enter, I will definitely tell you at the first time. My other rights are not a problem, but lying down on the bottom is still okay."

  "You're a good person, but Chen Gong, I have to tell you that the government won't take care of us so quickly. Relocation and resettlement all require money. These people won't use their money on this." Li Wenyue shook his head.

  "Teacher Li, things shouldn't be as serious as you said. The Qinghe government has always attached great importance to education, and now the village schools in the whole district will also undergo reform soon. In the future, there won't be any more village schools, and the government will unify them. Do you know that? Now, the town's head of education is Director Wang, who attaches great importance to this round of village school reforms. I can ask him about it and see what policies are next."

  At night, Chen Gong received Li Fenghua's phone call in the dormitory. "Brother, it's so late and I won't take a taxi to find you, my things are not yet finished."

  "It's not that I want you to come over and play, but there's something going on. Director Wang from the relocation office has been looking for documents in our office and finance room these past few days." Li Fenghua said mysteriously.

  "He's looking for his own, we ordinary people can't intervene." Chen Gong had no idea what kind of tricks Li Fenghua was playing.

  "Everything has a reason, who would do something inexplicable, Director Wang is collecting data on Village Xiao, I noticed that Village Xiao should have some funds that have been withheld and not issued..." Li Fenghua said.

  Chen Gong felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Li teacher and others were having a hard time, and the town actually had such a thing. "Those who embezzle school funds are simply scum."

  Li Fenghua listened to Chen Gong's tone and seemed to have gotten angry, "Brother, don't be impulsive, let's wait and see, there should still be a follow-up move, you shouldn't act rashly when you don't know what's going on."

  Wang Guoqiang's office in Qinghe Town.

  "Chen Gong, you can become the deputy leader of this village demolition coordination group. This is the organization's trust in you. You and Ning Wenjing will be deputy leaders, Wang Zhiyuan will be the leader, and you will mainly be responsible for coordination. You are representing me, I am in charge of education, and you cannot be too hard on teachers and students. If there are any major problems, report to me directly."

  "Alright, Director Wang, I've actually gone to talk to the village teachers privately over the past few days, trying to get more benefits for them." Chen Gong shared his thoughts with Wang Guoqiang.

  "Hmm, this relocation I don't care about, you handle it according to the situation, you just need to grasp two points. First, teachers and students absolutely cannot be chaotic, educational work or suspension of classes cannot cause trouble; second, unless absolutely necessary, do not advocate for forced demolition, at that time Li Aimin can complete the task, and push me to the forefront. You privately go find Village Xiao's teacher, don't let the relocation office people see you." Wang Guoqiang assigned tasks to Chen Gong.

  After all, Chen Gong was the deputy head of the village's temporary relocation coordination group, and he also had to report to Vice Mayor Li Aimin, who was in charge of relocation work.

  Chen Gong went straight to Li Aimin's office, "Mayor Li, you're just in time, I have something to report to you."

  "Chen Gong, sit down, the organization has given you some responsibilities, I have high hopes for you, young and full of energy."

  "Director Li, actually I just wanted to ask you, why can't we first solve the problem of the school teachers and students before relocating? If the relocation work is urgently required by the higher authorities, then our town can also make the village primary school issue an urgent matter and hold a meeting to study it immediately. Once their worries are resolved, they can enter the site immediately."

  "Chen Gong, they've negotiated terms with you, right? Actually, who doesn't want to resolve the issue smoothly and easily? But how to resolve it, isn't everything still solved with money? Our town's economic conditions are ordinary, we don't have special funds for solving village problems. After demolition, the project was handed over, our town can't even get a penny. According to policy, the procedures for these 8 acres of land were given to Haitian Real Estate, and the land payment was also handed over to the district finance department. Our Qinghe Town is just an intermediary, a runner. Who can solve it for them?"

  "Director Li, I think it can't be thought of that way. If the problem can't be solved, then their village school doesn't have to be demolished. When all the problems are solved, they can demolish it then. Anyway, I've also inquired about the situation with this plot of land for the Haitian Real Estate project, and they're not in a hurry for half a year or a year. Their main engineering work hasn't started yet."

  "Chen Gong, you're not the leader, there are some things you can't decide on, so don't interfere. Alright, you go out first, your task is to get the teachers and students of Village Elementary School to move out by the end of June, don't worry about anything else. If you really want to be a so-called servant of the people, go find Wang Guoqiang, he's working on reforming the village elementary school. I've shown you the way, don't bother me with this issue again, get out." Li Zhenzhang seemed somewhat impatient.

  "Alright, I'll go first, Director Li." Director Li watched Chen Gong turn around and thought to himself, "This guy is really something, thinking he can handle everything."

  "Alright, Deputy Director Chen, from now on, don't report work by skipping levels! Alright, you can go out now!"

  Chen Gong had already cursed Li Aimin this bastard in his heart for more than a dozen times. No way, I won't go over the proper channels. I'll report to Wang, the director of the demolition office, and Luo, the director of the party and government office. Can they make decisions? It seems that we still need to find Wang Guoqiang, who has been working on village reform, and try to carry out the reform before the demolition starts.
