Chapter 103: Cadre Style Rectification

Cui Mingliang explained: "Secretary, in fact, everyone knows the situation. Our township government does have some people who don't go to work all year round, and even among them are leading cadres, such as the heads of the Agricultural Technology Station and the Cultural Station. This is a bad habit.

Some people think that there is no hope of progress, so they play old qualifications, come and go as they want, fish for three days and dry the net for two days. Even if they come to the unit, they just say cool words and stir up trouble. It is better to let them stay at home, out of sight and out of mind. There are eight such cadres, belonging to troublemakers;

Two are indeed seriously ill, have medical records, and have leave notes, but we didn't report them according to regulations;

Three female comrades have been on long-term sick leave and personal leave, but are actually accompanying their children to study;

The remaining five ask for leave for various reasons, but are actually doing business.

This situation was not formed in a day or two. Some people haven't gone to work for nearly ten years. You were like this when you were in the forest farm. Leaders didn't want to provoke people, so they let it go, leading to a vicious cycle, resulting in a shortage of personnel in the unit, style collapse, pushing and pulling in work, criticizing a few sentences, people will say, we are at least at work, there are many people who don't go to work! The result is that one mouse spoils a pot of soup, leading to a shortage of personnel deployment in the unit, style collapse, pushing and pulling in work, criticizing a few sentences, people will say, we are at least at work, there are many people who don't go to work!"

Lu Fan said: "This is like a pile of apples, some good and some bad. If you don't deal with the bad ones, they will all rot in the end. These 18 people are rotten apples. The result is that the cadres who go to work are unbalanced in their hearts, and they dare to be in their positions without doing anything, staying in the unit is like a barber's shoemaker—doing nothing, not planning work at all. I think this is the root cause of Baishu Bay being the last in the county for eight consecutive years! Mayor Cui, if the cadre style problem is not solved, talking about development in Baishu Bay is nonsense. We will take this instruction from Secretary Gao as an opportunity to thoroughly solve the 'eating empty salary' problem, and first put this group of 'wild sheep' into the 'circle' before talking about improving the style."

"Secretary, I absolutely support this. I declare first that these 18 people have nothing to do with me. If you don't manage it again, normal work will soon be unable to carry out."

"Okay, we reached a consensus on this problem. Mayor Cui, there is no outsider now, and we are old friends for many years. I want to talk to you heart-to-heart."

Unexpectedly, Cui Mingliang smiled and said: "Secretary, I haven't forgotten, my parents' coffin was still helped by you! People should have self-knowledge. This adjustment is indeed quite sudden. I guess Secretary Shi didn't expect that he was going to be transferred. I know very well that even if you didn't come to be this secretary, it wouldn't be my turn. Wanting to be a secretary is not so easy, not to mention that our Baishu Bay work doesn't have anything that can be taken out, and it can't enter the eyes of the organization at all. I can only think of ways by myself, but the relationship is not so easy to find. It is better for you to be the secretary than others. Don't worry, I will definitely cooperate with your work."

"Don't be so pessimistic. There are benefits to being poor. As long as we work together to get the work up and take off the 'eight-year war of resistance' last place hat, that is a leap-forward progress. With results, we can speak hard, and we dare to make demands to the organization. I sincerely hope that we can unite and cooperate, think in one place, exert strength in one place, do things in one place, and plan in one place, and get Baishu Bay's work up. Once there is an opportunity for progress, we will recommend you with the strength of the whole township. I can still say a few words to Secretary Gao." Drawing cakes is one of the necessary skills for leaders.

What Lu Fan said is exactly what Cui Mingliang wants to hear. The secretary valued by the secretary, maybe there is really a chance. Originally, he was the second-in-command. Under normal circumstances, he would not easily go to confront the number one.

The style of townships is very different from above. Usually, the secretary is "one-word hall", and Ningyang's township secretaries are even more so. The style is quite fierce, can eat and drink, can kick and fight, can coax and cheat, and curse, otherwise it really can't hold down the scene. This is caused by the complexity of rural work and the fierce folk customs.

In the system, no number one wants to fight internally. Internal fighting, internal consumption, mutual dismantling, discord, loose sand, encountering things, dragging on for a long time, discussing without decision, fighting for power, pushing responsibility, mutual restraint, each doing things in their own way, how to do work? How to talk about progress? It doesn't meet Lu Fan's current political demands.

While chatting, the document clerk Li Yanxin brought the Discipline Inspection Commission people in. Lu Fan looked up and saw that it was Director Sun Shaojie leading the team, Du Wenlong and two other cadres followed. It seems that the Discipline Inspection Commission attaches great importance to Secretary Gao's instructions and sent the Director of the Supervision Office down.

"Director Sun, welcome to inspect and guide the work, sit, sit, everyone sit!"

Li Yanxin hurriedly served tea and water and handed out cigarettes.

Sun Shaojie said: "Secretary Lu, congratulations! According to the County Party Committee's instructions, the County Discipline Inspection Commission came down to investigate the 'eating empty salary' problem in Baishu Bay, please cooperate with the township government."

"Director Sun, congratulations! As the saying goes, eat the king's salary and be loyal to the king's affairs. As long as you 'eat the financial meal', you must go to work honestly and do things solidly. Only by picking out the black sheep can we shatter the fluke mentality of 'eating empty salary' people and let the incumbent staff and the masses see the determination to punish.

I represent the Township Party Committee to express my position, fully cooperate with the investigation, and have zero tolerance for 'eating empty salary'!"

"Time is urgent, we plan to start work immediately."

"Director Sun is really fast, I will let the Township Discipline Inspection Commission cooperate. Yanxin, call Secretary Cheng Haohao over."

Hearing the arrival of the County Discipline Inspection Commission, the township government cadres knew that this time it was for real. Those who had good relationships were informing those who "ate empty salary".

When getting off work, 14 "eating empty salary" cadres returned to the unit one after another, including two seriously ill patients. But there were 4 stubborn ones who didn't take it seriously. They hadn't gone to work for nearly ten years, and they were like wild horses that had broken their reins, only treating the unit as a place to receive wages, and they didn't intend to fulfill any obligations in their lives.

They would think, is it really dare to fire them? Which leader is willing to form such deep hatred? There are many people in the whole county who don't go to work, and the law does not blame the public.

Starting that afternoon, Sun Shaojie, with the cooperation of Township Discipline Inspection Secretary Cheng Haohao, talked to the 14 "eating empty salary" cadres who returned to the unit one by one, and started investigation and evidence collection the next day.

The whole township government was filled with a tense atmosphere, and work was carried out seriously involuntarily. No one dared to be late or leave early.

Accountant Cai Yingfeng reported to Lu Fan the financial situation of the township government. Currently, there is a balance of 860,000 yuan in the account, of which 245,000 yuan is the balance of office expenses and business expenses in the fourth quarter, and the rest are special funds that need to be paid.

That is to say, the township government's disposable funds are only 245,000 yuan, which must ensure the normal operation of the unit, and it is the end of the year, so it is necessary to issue year-end benefits and bonuses to cadres, and also visit and see county-level leaders. The Secretary, County Head, People's Congress, CPPCC, Discipline Inspection, and Organization are all necessary, and some key departments and key figures must also be moved. According to practice, it cannot be done without 100,000 yuan.

It is really not knowing the depth of the water without going into the river, and not knowing the price of firewood and rice without being a housekeeper. It is difficult to be a housekeeper in a poor family. At the end of the year, the cadres of the unit are looking forward to it. The benefits and treatment cannot be worse than last year. There is also a debt of more than 6 million, which is really worrying.

Lu Fan said: "Yingfeng, I will explain four things to you: First, make a table according to last year's bonus; Second, increase the year-end benefits by 50 yuan on the basis of last year. My opinion is not to issue rice, flour, and oil, but to issue shopping cards for Ningyang supermarkets. You can consult the Mayor's opinion again; Third, all expenditures must strictly implement the regulations of asking for instructions before spending. Expenditures over 1,000 yuan must be reported to me first, and large expenditures must be researched and decided by the Party Committee; Fourth, in the name of the township government, apply to the county finance for an application report, the reason is maintenance or environmental sanitation, the amount is 400,000. Go to dock this matter today, I will say hello, and keep this money strictly confidential after it comes down."

Cai Yingfeng was happy and worried. The happy thing is that the Secretary arranged work normally, and the accountant would probably not be adjusted. The worrying thing is that issuing shopping cards means that he cannot "move hands and feet" in procurement. Forget it, new people, new atmosphere, keep the position first.

At noon, Lu Fan asked the kitchen to add dishes and specifically accompanied Director Sun Shaojie to eat.

While eating, Sun Shaojie said: "Secretary Lu, your cadres are 'very hard', and they haven't shown up yet."

Lu Fan said: "Deal with it as it should be dealt with! Director Sun, how is the situation of others?"

"Basically, the attitude of admitting mistakes is good. If it were normal times, it could be raised high and put down lightly, but this time County Party Committee Secretary Gao wants results, so we must seek truth from facts. It is necessary to recover the 'violation' income, as for the final handling result, I have to ask Secretary Luo for instructions, and finally report to the County Party Committee Standing Committee."

"Director Sun, can this recovered 'eating empty salary' wage be collected by our township government on our behalf?"

Sun Shaojie laughed: "It doesn't meet the regulations. The Discipline Inspection Commission has a clean government account. Think about it, the handling result must be issued as a document, and that money must be transferred from the Discipline Inspection Commission to the national treasury. If you have the ability, think of a way with the national treasury."

"Then forget it, Director Sun, I have already arranged for the evening, go to the forest farm, it is quieter there, let me verify your depth, we haven't drunk together."

"Do I dare not follow Secretary Lu's instructions? Everyone on the field, everyone passes, we are not cowardly."

After the meal, the drinking scene started. Lu Fan raised his glass and said: "Welcome Director Sun and his party to guide our Baishu Bay work again. I represent the township government to express my gratitude. Don't talk nonsense. Wine quality is character, wine style is work style. Tonight, let's see the high and low in wine!"

The field wine was drunk for three cups in a row. Lu Fan picked up the water glass and filled it with wine, a full two taels, and said: "Director Sun, follow the customs when you arrive. When you arrive at Baishu Bay, you must follow our rules. How much I drink, I will toast the Discipline Inspection Commission comrades. If the feelings are deep, drink it all!" After speaking, he drank it all.

Sun Shaojie laughed: "If you call for foreign aid again, you are playing a rogue. Just these people on the field, everyone passes, we are not cowardly."

Then, Lu Fan toasted one by one, all full cups.
