Chapter 1339: The family quarters collapsed!
Repair the family quarters.
Mayor Jiang agreed to this ridiculous suggestion.
The meeting room became noisy suddenly. The members were talking among themselves. What happened today? Why did Mayor Jiang agree to this vanity project?
Is she not concerned about her reputation?
This is not in line with Mayor Jiangs political views.
Everybody might not understand Dong Xuebing well as he came one month ago. However, Mayor Jiang worked in Zhen Shui County for many years. They know her character and political views. They were shocked when she supported Dong Xuebings suggestion.
Is this Mayor Jiang?
The Meng Factions people were stunned. Pu An and Jiang Xiangrong were shocked. They knew Mayor Jiang wanted to repair the roads.
The inspections were completed.
The budget was planned.
Why did she change her mind suddenly?
Pu An slapped his forehead and was dumbfounded.
Mayor Dong is crazy, and why did Mayor Jiang join in?
Theres no turning back now. This is a wrong move. How are they going to go against the Meng Faction from now on? Everyone knew the outcome. One suggestion was to repair the roads, and the other was to repair their family quarters. The first was for the civilians, and the other was to improve the civil servants living area. Everyone knew which was more important. How can repairing the family quarters be more critical than road repairs? It was not worth suggesting, and repairing family quarters is not considered a vanity project.
Everybody was quiet. They seemed to be waiting for Mayor Jiangs next move. But nothing happened.
Dong Xuebing looked at Jiang Fangfang. He did not expect Mayor Jiang to support him without any prior discussion. This means she trusted him. Dont worry. I have my reasons for making this suggestion. I will not disappoint you.
Pu An and Jian Xiangrong kept quiet.
Jiang Fangfang put down her teacup and looked at them.
Pu An smiled wearily and said. I support Mayor Jiangs suggestion.
Me too. Jiang Xiangrong added.
Zhang Wanshui, Cheng Fuguang, and the rest exchanged looks and shook their heads. They were bewildered and glad that the Meng Faction supported this suggestion.
This is a stupid move.
The Jiang Faction would never win the Meng Faction again.
Meng Rui sneered in his heart and asked. Then how much budget are you asking for?
Secretary Meng was asking Mayor Jiang, but Dong Xuebing interrupted again. It would be great if we have 30 million RMB.
30 million RMB?
Are you mad?
Everybody looked at Dong Xuebing speechlessly.
Dong Xuebing replied. 30 million RMB is not a lot. The Party Committee family quarters need not be repaired, but the other departments quarters need to be repaired. Some might need to be rebuilt. Thirty million RMB might not be enough. But our County is not well off. I will take 30 million RMB first.
Just 30 million RMB first?
You are too nave.
Zhang Wanshui said. We are only repairing the quarters. Why do you need so much money? Moreover, it is unnecessary. If we were to repair something, it should be the roads.
Ci Boyang said. We have many old buildings in our County, and none have collapsed.
Jiang Hai added. We must put the money to good use and not waste it on vanity projects. If this is your only suggestion, we should use all the funds on road repairs.
Liao Haiwei said. I agree. Use all the funds to repair the roads.
Dong Xuebing narrowed his eyes as he looked at them. Forty million RMB on road repairs? None of you helped when I went to the Central Government to get the funds. Now, you want to use the funds I have gotten to repair roads. You all dont even consider my suggestion or leave anything for me. Are you all still human?
Meng Rui hesitated.
Meng Rui wanted to leave ten million RMB for the Jiang Faction. After all, Dong Xuebing had made significant contributions to the County. He risked his life to get this fund and should get a share. Meng Rui was hesitating. He wanted to keep all the money for himself. No one would say anything if he used all the funds on his proposal, as the Jiang Factions proposal was ridiculous. The Meng Faction has more votes in the Party Committee. They could not give the Jiang Faction anything if they voted.
Meng Rui was considering.
Nothing else matters in front of interests.
I will not hold back since you made the wrong move. Meng Rui could do whatever he wants now. It was not his fault that Jiang Faction made this ridiculous proposal. Although Jiang Fangfang seemed indifferent to everything, she seldom made mistakes. This was not an opportunity to be missed.
Pu An and Jian Xiangrong looked terrible when they saw the Meng Faction intended to take away the funds.
Zhang Wanshui said. Secretary Meng, we can repair the North-south Road too if we have 40 million RMB.
The road was passable before the County got the funds.
The Meng Faction no longer cares if Dong Xuebing had risked his life to get this fund.
Dong Xuebing was furious, but he was not in a rush. He sneered in his heart and checked the time. After that, he sat quietly and drank water.
Meng Rui seemed to have decided.
Pu An and Jian Xiangrong knew Secretary Meng was about to announce.
The other Meng Factions members smiled. They do not want to miss this opportunity. So what if you, Dong Xuebing, had gotten the fund? Your proposal is ridiculous, and we had no choice but to drop you.
I think Meng Rui said.
Suddenly, someone barged into the meeting room.
The Party Committee members frowned. Cant you see we are having a meeting?
It was a female staff member who barged into the meeting room. She ignored everyone and said quickly. The Public Security Bureaus family quarters collapsed!
Everyone was stunned.
Zhang Wanshui stood up. What did you say?
The female staff member quickly repeated. The Public Security Bureaus family quarters collapsed!
Dong Xuebing banged on the table. See What did I say?
