36: Chapter 36 Cursing at a large meeting

As soon as Sun Ning said this, the entire room was shocked.

Even Li Jincai, who was still feeling guilty, unknowingly dropped the pen in his hand.

Everyone had only one thought: How did he dare to do this?

In theory, the Township Head does indeed hold the financial power of the township, but would a Party Secretary ever notify you if they wanted to spend money?

And this large sum of money is enough to build how many elementary schools? And it has to be used for its designated purpose?

Why treat oneself poorly when there is money?

The township's official vehicles are not enough.

The chairs we are sitting on are almost peeling.

Shouldn't the township's food be improved a bit?

These were the thoughts of everyone present, except for Secretary Xue Hongtao.

"I support the Township Head's decision!"

A very abrupt yet loud voice came, directly sealing the deal.

The reason Sun Ning dared to monopolize the financial power before establishing his prestige was that he understood Secretary Xue Hongtao's character.

He knew that Secretary Xue Hongtao would definitely support him.

This is an old man who wholeheartedly wants the people of Mishui Township to live a moderately prosperous life, not a Party Secretary who clings to power.

Sun Ning also timely cast a look of gratitude toward Secretary Xue Hongtao.

He continued to chair the meeting: "Comrade Wang Ling, from now on, you are responsible for the repair and reconstruction of all elementary and middle schools in the township."

Wang Ling never expected that Sun Ning would entrust such an important task to her.

This is a very large piece of fat, involving funds in the tens of millions.

When has the Mishui Township account ever had such a large sum of money?

It wouldn't be surprising if Sun Ning took charge of this project himself.

Furthermore, there is also Executive Deputy Mayor Li Shusheng.

Yet Sun Ning just handed this lucrative opportunity to Wang Ling, who is in charge of education.

Everyone present stared at Sun Ning, wanting to know what this Township Head was up to.

Just giving away such a big piece of fat? Is Sun Ning really following the rules?

But Sun Ning ignored everyone's confusion and continued: "Comrade Deputy Secretary Cui Xiaotian."

"Huh?"

Deputy Secretary Cui Xiaotian couldn't make the turn in his mind and exclaimed.

He completely did not expect Sun Ning to call his name.

The key is that this matter of spending money has nothing to do with someone like him who watches others take money.

"Comrade Deputy Secretary Cui Xiaotian, please have your disciplinary inspection department keep an eye on the usage of these funds at all times."

"Huh?"

Deputy Secretary Cui Xiaotian couldn't help but exclaim again.

Today is truly strange; although Sun Ning is polite, he is acting completely like a reckless novice.

He really wanted to stare into Sun Ning's eyes and question him, 'I work under the leadership of the Township Party Committee, not under a department subordinate to the government.'

So he couldn't help but look at Secretary Xue Hongtao.

"The Township Head also concurrently serves as the Deputy Party Secretary of the Township."

With one sentence, Secretary Xue Hongtao stated his position again.

Everyone was shocked again, sighing that strange things happen every year, but there are especially many this year.

Since when did this stubborn old man who monopolizes power become so good at delegating it?

Did Sun Ning put a curse on the Party Secretary?

"Yes, I fully accept the instructions of the Township Party Committee."

Actually, Deputy Secretary Cui Xiaotian was not targeting Sun Ning, but rather it was a matter of long-standing habit.

It made him habitually obey the instructions of Secretary Xue Hongtao.

Seeing Deputy Secretary Cui Xiaotian's stance, Sun Ning did not say anything more.

Originally, today's meeting was held impromptu due to Secretary Xue Hongtao's anger.

No one had prepared in advance, and Sun Ning also took the opportunity to report the results of his business trip.

Sun Ning handed the meeting proceedings back to Secretary Xue Hongtao to chair.

Secretary Xue Hongtao first picked up his teacup and took a sip, looked around, and then gently put the teacup down.

Yet at this moment, you could hear a pin drop in the meeting room.

The sound of the teacup being gently placed down fell into everyone's ears like thunder.

Then, Secretary Xue Hongtao stood up abruptly and slapped the table with a bang.

"Comrades, we have a traitor here."

"As for who it is, I won't say any more; you better watch yourself."

"When you want to climb up, think more about the people of Mishui Township, instead of those dirty, petty schemes."

"Also, I will warn everyone again, our Mishui Township is about to embrace leapfrog development."

"I do not want, and will not allow, this situation to happen again."

"If there is a next time, don't blame this old man for being ruthless."

This is the style of the township; without so many twists and turns, Secretary Xue Hongtao could be so straightforward in his cursing.

Plus, today was an impromptu meeting, and no one was recording the meeting content.

When Secretary Xue Hongtao was cursing, his gaze remained fixed on Li Jincai.

To put it bluntly, this time it was aimed at him, but this guy is also a shameless person.

Even as Secretary Xue Hongtao's storm descended upon his head, he acted as if he wasn't the one being cursed.

Actually, although Li Jincai was in the wrong, Secretary Xue Hongtao really couldn't do anything about him.

It is reasonable and legitimate for Li Jincai to report work to his superiors anywhere.

Vice-County Mayor Pi Yingshi is a member of the County Party Committee and the Deputy County Mayor in charge of investment promotion; it is also reasonable and legitimate for him to guide the investment promotion work of Mishui Township.

Li Jincai did not commit any errors, and Secretary Xue Hongtao couldn't even give him a verbal warning.

He could only use veiled abuse to vent his anger.

After Secretary Xue Hongtao finished cursing, he felt much better and announced the end of the meeting.

After the meeting, people left the meeting room in twos and threes, chatting, but no one came within a meter of Li Jincai.

This person has become notorious in Mishui Township.

Sun Ning guessed that Vice-County Mayor Pi Yingshi must have received some kind of promise.

For example, being transferred to the county seat after the matter is completed; even a deputy position in a County Bureau would make people in Mishui Township strive for it desperately.

Whether it can be implemented, that is unknown.

Anyway, investors will definitely not go to Gongfan County.

Sun Ning was very much looking forward to what kind of trouble Li Jincai would get into with Vice-County Mayor Pi Yingshi when the time comes.

In Secretary Xue Hongtao's office, Sun Ning offered him a cigarette: "Secretary, try one you haven't smoked before."

The cigarette Sun Ning took out was the legendary white-box cigarette, which was also the spiritual food packed for him by his teacher's wife.

This kind of cigarette has no appeal to someone like Sun Ning who doesn't smoke; at most, he just takes it out to show off.

But Sun Ning couldn't show off to the low-level officials in the township, could he?

Therefore, he could only give it to Secretary Xue Hongtao, with whom he had become quite close, to smoke.

Secretary Xue Hongtao looked closely, hurriedly took it, and asked eagerly: "Where did this come from?"

"My teacher gave it to me."

As for who this teacher is and what he does, Secretary Xue Hongtao did not ask much.

After lighting it, he took a deep puff and said: "It's still this taste."

"Back when we were fighting the monkeys, the chief distributed one to every member of our reconnaissance company. I didn't expect to see it again in my lifetime."

Sun Ning laughed heartily and pushed the whole pack of cigarettes to Secretary Xue Hongtao.

Secretary Xue Hongtao was stunned, then also laughed heartily.

"Sun Ning, I will accept this gift, haha..."

After this little interlude ended, the two started talking about work.

Mainly about the issue of that sum of money.

Sun Ning was really afraid that this old man would rely on his prestige to get things done.

One of his purposes for coming over today was to indirectly inquire about Secretary Xue Hongtao's attitude.

Secretary Xue Hongtao did not give any vague hints, but told Sun Ning straight out.

"The day before yesterday, I took two bottles of wine and went to see my old company commander. The old company commander guaranteed with a pat on his chest that no one would dare touch our special funds."

This was exactly the answer Sun Ning wanted; he knew all too well who this stubborn old man's former leader was.

The current member of the Provincial Party Committee and the head of the military region.

Secretary Xue Hongtao realized that Sun Ning's expression had relaxed, and said seemingly unintentionally: "I, you know, hope for Mishui Township to be better than anyone else."
