Chapter 3721

During this period, Linshan City Executive Vice Mayor Cao Yuanhao was really annoyed. What he was annoyed about, of course, was that he had no power in his hands.

Originally, the executive vice mayor's assigned work was relatively important work such as the municipal government office and the finance bureau. However, since Cao Yuanhao returned from running projects in the capital, he found that he seemed to be unable to command the municipal government office director Weng Jingyao and the finance bureau director Fan Yichun.

After the previous mayor resigned due to his own faults, Weng Jingyao was a bit worried, fearing that he would be replaced by Su Xinghui. You know, the position of municipal government office director was one of the most valuable among the department-level cadres, and this position was generally the mayor's confidant.

As the saying goes, a new emperor has his own courtiers. Su Xinghui became the new mayor. Who knew if he would choose another person to be this municipal government office director? After all, this was the mayor's big housekeeper.

Therefore, Weng Jingyao had been cautious in his words and deeds for the past few months and had also tried his best to let Su Xinghui have a good impression of him, just to keep this position of municipal government office director.

His efforts seemed to have some effect. At least, in this cadre adjustment, he was not adjusted to other places but stayed in the municipal government office and continued to serve as the office director.

Weng Jingyao naturally knew that his retention had nothing to do with anyone; it was entirely because Su Xinghui wanted him to stay, so he stayed. Therefore, he would not go to rely on anyone else. He just wanted to hold Su Xinghui's thigh tightly and try his best to make him satisfied with himself.

Therefore, although Cao Yuanhao was in charge of the municipal government's work, Weng Jingyao respected him, but he might not necessarily buy his account for some things. For example, sometimes Cao Yuanhao took some non-compliant invoices and wanted to reimburse them, but they were all returned by Weng Jingyao.

Now Cao Yuanhao was in charge of the agency, so Su Xinghui gave part of the power to Cao Yuanhao. However, if he wanted to reimburse, he still had to pass the first pass held by Weng Jingyao. If he felt that the invoice was non-compliant, it couldn't be reimbursed.

Of course, this was also because the financial system executed by Su Xinghui now was very strict. If non-compliant invoices were found in the audit, one had to be responsible. The responsibility Weng Jingyao bore would not be small. For example, in the departure economic responsibility audit conducted before the year, in addition to the downfall of the former finance bureau director Xia Liangcai, several other middle-level cadres in Linshan City were also found to have economic problems and respectively bore the responsibilities they should bear.

The invoices Cao Yuanhao wanted to reimburse clearly had problems. How could Weng Jingyao help him reimburse them? Weng Jingyao didn't want to be a scapegoat for Cao Yuanhao. In addition, Weng Jingyao only recognized Su Xinghui now.

Even if he offended Cao Yuanhao, Weng Jingyao couldn't care less, because Su Xinghui had talked to him, asking him to manage the finances in the agency well, hold the pass well, and not have problems. If problems occurred, then he should bear whatever responsibility he should bear.

Su Xinghui had already said so, so would Weng Jingyao still dare to play tricks on the agency's finances? Now the audit bureau had one of Su Xinghui's great generals.

Although Weng Jingyao still respected Cao Yuanhao as usual, he returned Cao Yuanhao's invoices several times, which made Cao Yuanhao so angry that his seven orifices were smoking. However, he didn't dare to flare up, because he knew that those invoices of his indeed had problems.

For example, the invoices for him inviting his friends to eat and sing in the provincial capital were more than 10,000 at a time, but there was no reasonable reason at all. For another example, the invoices for him buying a Hanhai second-generation mobile phone for his wife and child each, he also took them to find Weng Jingyao for reimbursement. Would Weng Jingyao be willing to reimburse them?

In fact, if it were in other places, such invoices would be reimbursed if they were reimbursed, and no one would pursue anything. This kind of thing was the smallest thing for a leader. But in Linshan, doing this was not okay.

The rules set by Su Xinghui, no one dared to break. Those who fell in the last departure economic responsibility audit were the lessons from the past. Who dared to joke with their own future?

And the finance bureau director in charge of Cao Yuanhao was Fan Yichun, who was also a person who spoke of principles. Moreover, he also learned lessons from the loss he suffered more than ten years ago. Non-compliant appropriations must be eliminated. Therefore, Cao Yuanhao gave him instructions several times, asking him to appropriate funds to a certain unit, but they were all topped back by Fan Yichun in a soft and hard way, which also made Cao Yuanhao so angry that his seven orifices were smoking.

For example, once, Cao Yuanhao asked Fan Yichun to appropriate 5 million to a certain county and personally approved a slip of paper one finger wide. The county magistrate of that county took this slip of paper to find Fan Yichun for appropriation, but Fan Yichun said there was no money on the account. The county magistrate went back to find Cao Yuanhao again. Cao Yuanhao asked Fan Yichun, saying wasn't there money on the account? The province just appropriated more than 100 million two days ago.

Fan Yichun said that this money was a special fund for building an expressway. On the account of the finance bureau, except for the special funds for several large projects, there was no huge sum of 5 million. And special funds could not be appropriated at will.

Cao Yuanhao was so angry that he was dumbfounded, but he was helpless. He had received heavy gifts from that county magistrate, but he couldn't handle things, which made him feel that the heavy gift was hot to touch.

Such things happened several times. Fan Yichun adhered to principles too much. For anything that did not conform to principles, he absolutely would not do it. For any special funds, he absolutely would not use them for other purposes.

This was the reason why Su Xinghui appointed him as the finance bureau director. In the past few years, the special funds of Linshan City would be huge. If everyone did it like Xia Liangcai, wouldn't these special funds be misappropriated at will? Not only would these projects delay the construction period, but he, Su Xinghui, would also be held accountable by the central government and the province.

With a housekeeper like Fan Yichun, Su Xinghui could be considered at ease.

Fan Yichun had experienced ups and downs, his age was not small, there was no room for progress, plus he had Su Xinghui's support behind him, so he was not afraid of Cao Yuanhao. If Cao Yuanhao made him anxious, he dared to directly butt heads with Cao Yuanhao, which made Cao Yuanhao have no way to deal with him at all.

Although the leaders of several other bureaus in charge of Cao Yuanhao were still respectful to Cao Yuanhao, the two most important people under him didn't buy his account, which made Cao Yuanhao feel very uncomfortable. However, what could he do? Both of these people had Su Xinghui supporting them behind their backs, and he couldn't move a single hair of these two people at all.
