Chapter 2882

He knew that Miao Leshan had clashed with Su Xinghui before and already had unpleasant feelings, not to mention that this time the matter infringed upon Miao Leshan's interests. The two of them were bound to clash. Sure enough, Miao Leshan jumped out impatiently.

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Vice Mayor Miao, you may have some misunderstandings. I did not say that this expenditure would all come from the municipal finance department. I will still go to the province to run around and strive to get some funds from the province. Moreover, I will also strive to increase the city's fiscal revenue. The balance of fiscal revenue and expenditure should be achieved by opening up sources and reducing expenditure, rather than by deducting wages that should be paid."

Miao Leshan's face was as gloomy as if it were about to drip water. He said, "What do you mean by this? Do you mean that I haven't managed this household well? Whose wages have I deducted?"

Su Xinghui smiled indifferently, "According to policy, these minban teachers should be converted to public teachers. The city's finances cannot be balanced by dismissing them in one fell swoop. Their wages should be paid to them!"

Miao Leshan was so angry that his chest was heaving. Although he was old enough to be Su Xinghui's father, he was far less steady than Su Xinghui. He started the conversation several times, wanting to provoke Su Xinghui, but Su Xinghui had no emotional fluctuations at all. Instead, when Su Xinghui slightly deepened his tone, Miao Leshan felt he couldn't take it anymore.

Xin Jing said, "Mayor Wei, Vice Mayor Miao, Vice Mayor Su, let me say a few words."

Miao Leshan suppressed his desire to roar, snorted, and waited for Xin Jing to speak. He knew that Xin Jing was now on Su Xinghui's side, and he guessed she was going to speak for Su Xinghui.

Wei Ziming said, "Mayor Xin, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Xin Jing said, "Speaking of which, this matter was actually under my hands. In dealing with the problem of dismissing these minban teachers in one fell swoop, I have a responsibility because I was the vice mayor in charge at the time. There were indeed many problems with this batch of minban teachers being dismissed in one fell swoop; many minban teachers should not have been dismissed but should have been converted to public teachers."

"However, at that time, under some pressure, I did not adhere to principles and went against my conscience to dismiss these minban teachers in one fell swoop, only giving them some meager compensation. Now that I think about it, this compensation is completely unworthy of their dedication. Therefore, I apologize to everyone here; I have a responsibility."
