Chapter 333: On-site Office

On Thursday morning, more than a dozen leaders were surrounded at the gate of the government, all whispering.

Audit Bureau Director Zhang Yifan asked the Urban Construction Bureau Director in a low voice, "Old Zhou, no internal news? What is the Secretary going to investigate?"

Zhou Fei shook his head and said, "I am the same as you. The County Party Committee Office notified that we must bring the business deputy director and the main handling cadre. Don't worry about it, won't we know when we get there?"

Not long after, Deputy County Head Li Junxia came, greeted everyone enthusiastically, and took out a pack of cigarettes, distributed them to the people around him, and started puffing clouds and fog.

When it was almost ten o'clock, Lu Fan came down, followed by Discipline Inspection Committee Secretary Zhang Qianyuan, Public Security Bureau Director Wang Hongpeng, and County Party Committee Office Director Li Xinbo.

Everyone consciously leaned towards Lu Fan. Li Junxia asked with a smile, "Secretary, the County Head asked me to ask for leave for you. The Provincial Science and Technology Department is coming to investigate today."

Lu Fan nodded and said, "Hmm, I know about this. If you can spare time at noon, I will go to accompany the meal. Junxia, let's go to the High School first to see the progress of the project."

"Okay, Secretary!" Li Junxia didn't understand very well. To see the project, bring these people? But he was not easy to ask in detail.

After Lu Fan got into the car first, everyone followed closely.

Twenty minutes later, the coaster drove into the High School and stopped directly at the construction site.

After getting off the car, Principal An Song and school leaders immediately leaned over and said enthusiastically, "Welcome Secretary Lu to the High School to inspect and guide the work. We have been looking forward to it! We are very grateful for the Secretary's strong support and selfless help to our school!"

Lu Fan said, "The County Party Committee and County Government attach great importance to education work, and the people of the whole county have high hopes for your High School. Some time ago, you and Chunlei went to Ningyang to study and inspect. I hope you can learn from others' strengths, teach without class, open up and innovate, grasp education and teaching quality, and let students enter low and exit high. I want to put a 'tight hoop' on you. The rate of admission to the first-tier universities next year must be increased by more than ten percentage points. You can treat it as a 'hard task' and a 'death order'!"

An Song felt immense pressure, but regarding the New World of Jiuzhou, he could only firmly state: "Please rest assured, Secretary. We will certainly raise our political standing, earnestly study the school conditions, student conditions, and teaching conditions, clarify our weaknesses, and catch up. We will go all out to grasp teaching research, grasp the classroom, grasp assignments, and grasp every link. With the goal of providing education that satisfies the people, we will concentrate our efforts on teaching, improve quality and efficiency to reach a higher level, and strive to successfully complete the tasks assigned by the Secretary!"

"No matter how well you say it, it is not as good as actual action. Next year, you will speak with results! Principal An, take me to see the project construction."

A group of people walked to the construction site, and An Song reported, "Secretary, this teaching building can thoroughly solve the problem of shortage of school buildings and can accommodate 35 classes. We will transform the original classrooms into teacher offices and functional rooms..."

Lu Fan asked, "Principal An, this building is used by your High School. You must increase the intensity of supervision to ensure that the quality meets the standards. Oh, by the way, which enterprises are doing these projects?"

Facing the Secretary's inquiry, An Song was a bit speechless.

Deputy County Head Li Junxia hurriedly stepped forward to report and introduced the situation of the seven winning enterprises.

Lu Fan nodded and said to Urban Construction Bureau Director Zhou Fei, "Do you have detailed information about these seven enterprises?"

Zhou Fei immediately flipped through the information on his mobile phone and handed it to Lu Fan.

Looking at it, Lu Fan frowned and asked, "Junxia, only two are Ganshui enterprises?"

Li Junxia hurriedly explained, "Secretary, the qualifications, capabilities, and reputation of the other five do not have any problems. There are relatively few construction enterprises in the county, which are not enough to undertake such a large construction project. So, after I discussed with the County Head, I expanded the scope of bidding."

Lu Fan didn't leave him any face and questioned on the spot, "Do you treat the resolution of the County Party Committee Standing Committee as a deaf ear? Or ignore what I said? Do you know how much tax a 45-million-yuan project can pay? I don't believe that the vast Ganshui doesn't have the ability to build a teaching building? Can't they register a branch in Ganshui? Or is there any trick in this?"

Six questions in a row made Li Junxia panic. Before he could explain, Lu Fan continued, "You dare to fool things I have repeatedly emphasized. What else do you dare not do? I now seriously suspect that the winning enterprise has the qualifications to build this building! Housing and Construction Bureau, Audit Bureau, immediately verify it for me. Check qualifications, check contracts, check personnel, check material supply, check equipment, check project site management materials, and see if there is any subcontracting behavior! Principal An, go and move some chairs over. I want to work on-site. I will never allow anyone to work illegally and fill their own pockets in projects involving people's livelihood!"

Zhou Fei and Zhang Yifan immediately took action. Li Junxia was completely panicked and leaned to Lu Fan's side to explain in a low voice, "Secretary, the situation is relatively special..."

Lu Fan waved his hand to interrupt and said, "Don't find any reason for me. Everything is based on facts and based on laws and regulations!" After speaking, he ignored him!

Then, Lu Fan said to other department leaders, "Don't stand there. According to your work functions, seriously verify the project and see if there are any illegal acts! Hongpeng, stop work first and let the project manager cooperate with the investigation!"

For a time, those who made phone calls made phone calls, those who checked materials checked materials, the construction site was in a mess, and Li Junxia also hid on the side and kept making phone calls.

Some things depend on whether the organization is serious or not. As long as it is serious, there is nothing that cannot be found out!

Subcontracting behavior is prevalent, and no one pays attention to it. The root cause is interest-driven. As a regulator, how can you not know the details? But they all turn a blind eye, and even choose to shield and indulge!

Soon, Urban Construction Bureau Director Zhou Fei came to report the verification situation. Without exception, all were subcontracting, and it was layer-by-layer subcontracting. Now the working team cannot provide any relevant materials.

Lu Fan asked, "You are the industry competent department. How should this situation be handled?"

Zhou Fei said crisply, "Secretary, the 'Construction Law' and 'Regulations on the Quality Management of Construction Projects' clearly prohibit subcontracting behavior. The act of contractors illegally subcontracting construction projects is invalid.

Article 19 of the 'Interim Provisions on the Qualification Management of Engineering General Contracting Enterprises' stipulates that those who turn over and subcontract projects shall be confiscated of their illegal gains by the construction administrative department of the people's government where the project is located, and shall be fined, ordered to suspend business for rectification, lowered in qualification level, and revoked of qualification certificates."

Lu Fan nodded and said, "Since you know the laws and regulations, then work on-site, act according to the rules, and handle it at the top level!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Junxia on the side was instantly panicked, looking at a loss.

Lu Fan also gave Li Junxia instructions, "At four o'clock in the afternoon, hold a temporary Standing Committee expansion meeting, with relevant units participating, the Urban Construction Bureau will report specially, and there must be a handling result!"

"Okay, Secretary, I will prepare immediately."

At noon, the bosses of those winning enterprises rushed to the County Government to inquire about the situation.

County Head Wang Baoguo sat quietly in his office, thinking about Lu Fan's motivation for this move, and considering how to deal with the Standing Committee meeting in the afternoon.

Recently, he has become more and more anxious. A "friend" from the Municipal Discipline Inspection Committee told him privately that Secretary Wu Xiaohua seems to be eyeing the main leaders of Ganshui County. Wang Baoguo knows that the target is certainly not Lu Fan, so it can only be himself!

At this moment, Wang Baoguo deeply realized that saying: if there is no one in the court, don't be an official; if there is no silver in the pocket, don't enter the city! Without a foundation, there is no ability to resist risks. People are knives and I am fish! If there is any disturbance, it may become a sacrifice!

Wang Baoguo tentatively dialed the number of Vice Provincial Governor Le Xueren. After ten seconds, the phone connected, and he hurriedly said, "Provincial Governor, I want to go to the province to report work to you!"

"Baoguo, it's very busy recently, the inspection team is coming down, if you have anything, you can say it on the phone."

"You know my situation. Because of my daughter's matter, I have a grudge against Lu Fan. Now we are working together, work is very difficult to do, and I feel that Lu Fan is making things difficult for me everywhere. This morning he deliberately found fault and checked the problem of project subcontracting. In the afternoon, there will be a Standing Committee meeting, and it is estimated that he will make things difficult for me! Provincial Governor, I am not young anymore, and I don't want anything in this life. Can you adjust me to a position? Anywhere is fine!"

"Baoguo, don't think wildly. Being able to serve as a County Party Committee Secretary, I don't think he will be so unlevel. It is normal for the Secretary and County Head to have bumps. You have different divisions of labor, so you should respect each other and seek common ground while reserving differences. The County Party Committee Secretary is the squad leader. You should ask for instructions when you should, and report when you should. Don't make the relationship too stiff. It is not easy for me to intervene in Yingjiang's affairs. Please understand!" After speaking, Le Xueren hung up the phone.

Wang Baoguo looked very helpless, and for a time, all kinds of feelings welled up in his heart, full of regret!

And at this time, Li Junxia, sitting in his office, was panicked, which can be described as internal and external troubles! The "bitch" in the club actually blackmailed him! Claiming that if he didn't buy her a house, he would be ruined!

Li Junxia immediately called the club boss and asked him to manage his own people and not add trouble to himself.

When the club boss went to find the waitress, he found that she didn't come to work today, and didn't answer the phone, but he didn't take it seriously, sent a message to appease her, and said that if there was anything, talk face to face.

Li Junxia was in anxiety when a construction company boss pushed the door and entered, asking urgently, "County Head Li, why did you stop the construction site? Workers and machinery are all in place. Stopping for one day loses a lot of money!"

Li Junxia looked at the person and said unpleasantly, "What can I do? It was Secretary Lu who personally gave the order! Yu Pengjie, I haven't asked you yet, why did you subcontract the project? Do you know that doing so is illegal?"

"Ah? County Head, I don't like to hear this. Didn't we do it like this before? Which company doesn't do it like this?"

"I didn't allow you to subcontract the project privately. You bear the consequences of what you did yourself!"

Yu Pengjie was not happy, stood up and said, "County Head Li, we have to have a conscience when doing things. We can't push the responsibility to me when something goes wrong! We are grasshoppers on a rope. If something goes wrong, I can't run, and you can't run either!"

Li Junxia's tone softened, revealing a trace of awkward smile, and said, "Old Yu, let's talk well! Secretary Lu is personally watching the High School project, and I have no way! The top priority is to pass this level. You are a smart person. If you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of no firewood!" ===== CHAPTER 334 =====
