Chapter Thirty-Nine Lunch Prohibition

Updated: 2012-07-16

(Today's first update, please vote for red, please bookmark)

The town held a joint party and government meeting and, as usual, went to the town reception station to have a meal on the same day, but the atmosphere today was extremely depressing.

Chen Dan stood in the cashier decorating the stone pavement and saw several deputy town mayors led by Huang Xiaolei coming in. His face was gloomy. When he saw the little girl at the reception station, he did not have the usual hippie smile, and ran to the small banquet hall with a stern face.

Before entering the door, Huang Xinliang, director of the Party and Government Office, threw away the cigarette butt in his mouth, and stepped on it and twisted it hard, as if he wanted to twist the cigarette butt so much that it was not left. When he walked in, he didn't ask about the preparations for the lunch banquet...

Chen Dan knew that Chen Huai had officially come to work in Meixi Town today. Looking at the situation in front of him, he became uneasy and looked outside. He looked at the figure outside for a long time without seeing Chen Huai's figure appear.

"It's amazing. At the morning meeting, the new secretary almost started fighting with Du Laohu. I heard that Du Laohu almost demolished the office in the morning. The mayors all had a bad face inside. Xiao He had just poured water for the weasel and accidentally poured a few drops of water. He was scolded and tears came out in tears."

Qian Yun, the foreman of the catering department, jogged over with his chest, leaned over to Chen Dan's ear, bit his ear and said, "Grandma, I'm going to comfort the little girl. Chen Dan, please help me in and push me over. The atmosphere is so depressing, I can't stand it!"

Chen Dan knew that Qian Yun liked to speak with a little exaggeration, but looking at the faces of several deputy mayors who came in, he also knew that nothing good happened in the town in the morning.

Although she was not so repulsive to Chen Huai, her character could be seen from the scene of the city steel factory. Although she was not as powerful as an ordinary person at a young age, she was even more rampant than her younger brother Chen Tong when she was doing things.

Therefore, Chen Dan believed that Qian Yun had a conflict with Chen Huai and Du Laohu, and was a little anxious, afraid that Chen Huai had just come over and didn't know the depth of Du Laohu and others, and that a rash conflict would suffer a secret loss.

Chen Dan didn't care about the reception, so he didn't refuse at this time and said, "Okay, I'll go in and watch it for you..."

"Xiao Chen," Just then, the mayor He Qingshe and Chen Huai walked in. Seeing Chen Dan going to enter the banquet hall, He Qingshe called her and said, "This is the new Secretary Chen, come and meet him; where is Manager He?"

"Manager He just received a call to the government. Haven't you met Mayor He?" Chen Dan walked over and stretched out his hand to Chen Huai, "Hello Secretary Chen, I am Xiao Chen from the reception station. I'll give you any instructions in the future."

Looking at Chen Dan's eyes with a cunning look, Chen Huai knew that she didn't want to be familiar with him in front of others, so he reached out to shake her, and he softened his hand. He couldn't help but pinch it gently, then nodded and looked at the front hall of the catering department at the reception station.

Although the reception station cannot be compared with Nanyuan Hotel, it is still quite magnificent in Meixi Town.

He Qingshe didn't know that Chen Huai and Chen Dan had known each other for a long time. Seeing Chen Huai's eyes stopping on Chen Dan's face for only a moment, his attention moved to the decoration of the front hall, and he felt a little strange. Could this thorny rose in Meixi Town still not touch his eyes?

"The reception station was built in 1990. At that time, the town's fiscal revenue was in good condition. At that time, everyone said they would merge into Tangzha District. The town had some extra money, so they quickly built this building. The half of the building facing the street was used as a reception station. Inside it was a cultural station." He Qingshe was worried that Chen Huai didn't know much about Meixi's situation, so he took the initiative to act as a commentator. "By the beginning of last year, the province implemented a tax-sharing pilot, and the town's fiscal revenue deteriorated suddenly, so it was somewhat inconsistent with Meixi Town now..."

Chen Huai listened attentively, but his understanding of the financial situation of Meixi Town was not inferior to He Qingshe.

Meixi is not a small town. In 1990, the industrial value added in the town reached 30 million, ranking among the top in more than 200 towns and towns in Donghua. The problem lies in the tax-sharing system pilot. Since 1992, three-quarters of the newly added industrial value-added tax in the local area must be paid to the central government and one-quarter will be included in the municipal finance.

After the pilot of the tax-sharing system, local governments have restricted the ways to increase revenue by expanding production scale.

Because the scale of production is expanded and the enterprise's efficiency does not increase, the increased industrial value-added tax has been taken to the central government, and there is no benefit from the local government, so naturally no one is willing to do such a thing.

Chen Huai nodded and said, "After I arrived in Donghua, I saw that the city had sufficient discussion on the issue of tax sharing: I believe that local finance cannot rely solely on expanding production scale, but the key is to look at the enterprise's efficiency. Income tax, business tax, etc. related to enterprise benefits are still classified as local finance. Besides, according to the pilot design of the tax sharing system, the increase in the increase after 1992 is only collected. Based on the real tax in 1991, this part of the industrial value-added tax will return to the local area. The fiscal increase in Meixi may stagnate in the short term, but it should not deteriorate..."

"This has to do with the division of Meixi Town over the past few years,"

Seeing that Chen Huai mentioned the problem to the key points, He Qingshe knew that he was still a little real and knowledgeable, so he explained it to him thoroughly.

"The city has always wanted to divide Meixi Town from Xiapu County. On this issue, the county has no right to dominate. However, the county will naturally not subsidize the construction of the county-level finance for the territory to be cut. The Meixi Bridge was originally planned to be rebuilt in 991, and Xiamei Highway also planned to pave the asphalt road at the same time. It is because Meixi Town is to be included in Tangzha District, the county directly withdraws the construction funds of Meixi Bridge and Xiamei Highway. It is fine if the county no longer subsidizes Meixi Town, but it still cuts a large piece of meat from the value-added tax base that was originally to be returned to Meixi Town. Last year, the town finance has not increased, but has also dropped by 2.6 million yuan compared with 1990 years..."

In 1993, the official salary of public officials in Meixi Town was only 4,000 yuan a year.

Two million yuan, which seems not much, is enough to pay the annual salary of primary and secondary school teachers and government personnel in Meixi Town. The fiscal revenue has dropped sharply by 2.6 million in just two years, and the blow to Meixi Town is naturally extremely heavy.

"At that time, Tangzha District wanted to merge Meixi Town, but saw that Meixi's financial situation was good. Now, when we look at this situation, it is not only good to merge Meixi Town, but we also have to post nearly 10 million to rebuild Meixi Bridge and Xiamei Highway. No one mentioned this again," He Qingshe sighed lightly and said, "Of course, the industry of Meixi Town is mainly supported by steel mills. If the steel mills have good benefits, the town will be better. From now on, we will see Secretary Chen, you have great power."

Chen Huai was about to talk to He Qingshe for a few more words, when he saw Du Jian walking in with a graceful middle-aged woman.

Although he was born and raised in Meixi Town, he only recognized a few of them in the town with nearly 50,000 people.

However, from the eyes of Chen Dan and He Qingshe, Chen Huai could recognize that the middle-aged woman was Du Jian's mistress, He Yuelian, the manager of the town reception station. He was also the mother of Wang Gang, who had just been appointed by Du Jian as director of the Steel Factory Security Department through the Party and Government Meeting.

In theory, even if He Yuelian is not forty, she is only two or three years older, but she looks fair in skin and only faint wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, which is not as good as a young man. Her waist and fat arms and plump figure make her look a bit charming. The key is that she does not have the rustic spirit of a rural woman, and she has a faint makeup, which does have a bit of appearance.

If He Yuelian and Chen Dan were put together, it would be inferior, but mature women had the taste of mature women. Chen Huai thought to himself: No wonder she could tie Du Jian's heart?

Du Jian's face turned dark when he saw Chen Huai.

He Yuelian twitched her eyes and her big watery eyes, and then she rushed straight to Chen Huai, and said with a smile: "Is this the new Secretary Chen, right? I'm rushing to the government to report to Secretary Chen, you are here to work. I didn't expect to go through the mistake and ask you and Mayor He to come and wait..." Nuo Rou's voice was also nice.

"Manager He is right?" Chen Huai took He Yuelian's white and tender hand and held it with a smile, "Secretary Du assigned me to be responsible for the work of the steel mill. Manager He has no job to report to me..."

"I'm asking Secretary Chen to report to the reception work of the steel mill," He Yuelian obviously didn't want to let Chen Huai go easily, and put her body over and said, "If Secretary Chen thinks it's not appropriate for me to report to you, then do you think who is suitable for the reception station?"

Even if the town's finances deteriorate, the annual hospitality costs of hundreds of thousands are still indispensable; the situation in the steel mill is almost the same.

He Yuelian no longer works in the town’s family planning work. While occupying the government’s staff, she contracted the town’s reception station and relied on these two pieces to eat a lot of money.

Du Jian was displeased when he saw Chen Huai. When he saw He Yuelian sticking to him like a fishy fly, he felt even more displeased. He said with a calm face: "How can you say so much? You order something? You still ask people to eat?"

Chen Dan stood beside him and didn't get up. Looking at Du Jian and Du Laohu's face, he knew that Chen Huai and him had a real conflict in the morning.

He Yuelian smiled and invited Du Jian, He Qingshe and Chen Huai to enter.

Compared with Nanyuan Hotel, the small banquet hall at the reception station has three round tables, which are still very spacious. The beige pattern imitation stone floor tiles, wallpapers, and lighting are all magnificent. It can be seen that Meixi Town had a very wealthy finance two years ago.

"The annual contract fee is a lot of money when contracting this reception station, right?" Chen Huai sat opposite Du Jian and asked He Qingshe directly with his side.

He Qingshe also compared a number under the table.

Chen Huai pursed his lips and didn't say anything. The contract fee of 80,000 yuan per year was not enough to depreciate these decorations.

He Qingshe said again: "Contracting every three years will expire this year."

At this time, Chen Dan brought in a box of wine. Chen Huai looked up and said, "The city has declared orders for five years and five times. Government officials banned alcohol at noon on weekdays; take out the wine!"

Chen Dan was a little confused and stood at the door holding the box of wine. It was neither right to enter nor retreat.

The greedy people stood up and were about to share the wine. When they heard Chen Huai's words, they were stunned and looked at Du Jian together.

"Mom's babe!" Du Jian slapped the table and stood up, shaking the dishes on the table, staring at Chen Huai, and his anger was about to spit out.

"Secretary Du, what's wrong?" Chen Huai sat on the chair, his hands resting on the table. While looking up at Du Jian, he still smiled on his face, "I think the county should have issued a document on the ban on drinking at noon on weekdays. We party members can't take the lead in violating the policy..."

Chen Dan was worried that Du Laohu would rush to Chen Huai and punch and kick Chen Huai.

Du Jian has a bad temper. He has been a mountain king in Meixi for many years and often scolds government personnel. There is also an incident where the deputy town was slaughtered by him.

Du Jian's flesh on his face jumped, and he swayed his sleeve and kicked the stool aside, cursing: "I won't eat this food anymore."

"Ding" walked out, almost knocking down Chen Dan who was blocking the door. Others knew that Chen Huai was a tough guy, and he could use Du Jian's face to slap Huang Xinliang in the morning meeting. No matter how annoyed they were, they did not dare to scold him and make enemies with the new secretary, but they also moved the bench away from the table and followed Du Jian and walked out later.

Only then did Chen Dan realize that what He Yun said to her just now was not exaggerating: Chen Huai is just a humiliating river dragon, a humiliating demon king.
