t received any updates on this matter. 。Chang Guoliang had to say, "Xiao Shujì, I'm sorry, I didn't know..." 。"It's okay," Xiao Jingyu said, "you're out there after all. If it wasn't for this matter...Xiao Zheng hurriedly helped Xu Fangfei up from the ground and asked, "Are you okay" Xu Fangfei smoothed out her crumpled black dress and smiled, "I'm fine" 。"By the way, I guess you invited Gao Shengxue to dinner because you have a favor to ask him"

Xiao Zheng looked at Xu Fangfei and said: "That's right, it's about the town loan." 。"Xu Fangfei said, 'Has it been settled' This involved a secret between the town and city agricultural bank, so Xiao Zheng couldn't just tell anyone." 。Xu Fangfei said: "Don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to find out anything, I just want to help." 。My younger sister Mei and Gao Shengxue have a special relationship, she might be able to help. 。“She can actually speak up on this kind of thing” Xiao Zheng asked in surprise. Xu Fangfei replied, “She really can.” 。However, I know that Gao Shengxue helps with getting loans and charges a fee for it. 。If Mei Zi stepped in, the cost could be halved. 。"What Charging a fee" This came as a surprise to Xiao Zheng, "How much are they charging" Xu Fangfei said, "I'm not sure exactly how much, I didn't get involved in their affairs." 。I only heard it from Mei Zi. 。Perhaps this Mei Zi woman is Gao Shengxue's lover. 。But Gao Shengxue actually told Mei Zi about this, which also shows that Gao Shengxue is very irrational. 。If it were a government loan, Gao Shengxue would still take money, and Xiao Zheng really didn't want to deal with such a person because there might be trouble later. 。Now the town is again in dire need of money, and Xiao Zheng can't just cut off contact with Gao Shengxue all at once. Xiao Zheng said, "Let's talk to Mr. Gao ourselves first." 。Xu Fangfei nodded and said, "That's fine." 。Of course, it's best if you two can come to an agreement yourselves. 。But if you really need me to step in, just let me know. 。Xiao Zheng, it's really great to meet you today. 。"Xiao Zheng nodded: "Thank you" 。"Can you hug me" Xu Fangfei looked at Xiao Zheng and said, "I don't have any other requirements, as long as I can see you from time to time, and you can give me a hug." 。Xiao Zheng looked at Xu Fangfei, then at the stairs leading to the rooftop, and there was no one else. 。Xu Fangfei, the girl who left a mark on Xiao Zheng's heart since elementary school, is now a grown woman with stunning beauty. She is within his reach. 。But Xiao Zheng still said, "Fang Fei, I already have a girlfriend. We're getting married next May." 。So...let's go back to the box now. 。Xiao Zheng then walked down the stairs. 。Xu Fangfei looked at Xiao Zheng's back for a while, then followed him down. 。Back in the private room, Gao Shengxue and Meizi were still singing. Gao Shengxue saw Xiao Zheng and Xu Fangfei go back in and said into the microphone with a smile, "Our Mayor Xiao and Fangfei, were you two rekindling your student days just now" Guan Wenwei's gaze also turned to Xiao Zheng, and Tao Fang also smiled knowingly at Xiao Zheng. 。Xiao Zheng smiled unenthusiastically and sat down on the sofa. Xu Fangfei walked over and sat down next to Mei Zi. 。Xiao Zheng walked up to Guan Wenwei and asked, "Guan Shuji, have you talked to Mr. Gao about the loan" The singing in the private room was very loud, making it hard to hear what they were saying. Guan Wenwei leaned into Xiao Zheng's ear and said, "Right when you went out, I talked to Mr. Gao..." 。He said he'll talk to me in my car after the singing is over. 。Such a simple thing, why did it have to be discussed in Guan Wenwei's car

Xiao Zheng remembered Xu Fangfei's words, Gao Shengxue helps people get loans done by charging money. 。But, about this matter, he didn't tell Guan Wenwei. 。Finally, Gao Shengxue and Mei Zi finished singing to their heart's content. It was past midnight by then. 。Guan Wenwei and Gao Shengxue went down first, letting Xiao Zheng and the others wait in the private room for a while longer. They would call them down after they were finished talking. 。It didn't take long, just about ten minutes, when Guan Wenwei called Xiao Zheng. 。Then, they went down. 。Mei Zi and Xu Fangfei got into Gao Shengxue's car and drove away. Xiao Zheng and Tao Fang got into Guan Wenwei's car, and the car started, returning to An County overnight. 。"Bookkeeper, how did the conversation go" Xiao Zheng eagerly wanted to know the outcome. 。Guan Wenwei said: "Gao Sheng said very bluntly, that according to the situation in our town, after the investigation by the bank's audit department, it does not meet the loan conditions." 。But Gao Shengxue said he could help solve the problem, but he had to take a portion of the commission. 。"Commissions" Xiao Zheng repeated. "How much" Guan Wenwei said, "If we take out a loan of 2 million, he'll take a 5% commission, which is 100,000..." 。Xiao Zheng said, “Robbing money!” Tao Fang had been listening the whole time without saying a word. 。Guan Wenwei said, "The problem is that our town really needs money now." 。"Xiao Zheng said: "But this is equivalent to bribery, isn't it It could cause problems. >>>>" 。Then, it won't just be Gao Shengxue's problem; I and the secretary will probably also get into trouble. 。Guan Wenwei said: "I understand too." 。But Gao Shengxue just put forward such conditions. 。You are not satisfied with him, he will not give you a loan. 。He also said that he was doing this out of friendship, for old friends. He wouldn't help anyone else operate it. 。Of course, as far as I know, many financially struggling towns resort to this method to borrow money from banks again. 。Since Gao Shengxue dares to put forward such a request, it shows that other units must have already been operating this way. 。But Xiao Zheng still didn't want to take this risk, so he said: "Secretary Guan, we can't do this." 。“Guan Wenwei said: “Xiao, the mayor, of course I also hope not to do...” 。。Next month's salary is still over 100,000 short. Could the members of our team temporarily borrow some money Maybe next month we can attract a project or find another bank willing to lend us money. Then we can pay everyone immediately. 。Guan Wenwei also fell silent, after a while he said: "If we don't take out a loan from the City Agricultural and Rural Commercial Bank, I'm afraid this is all we can do." 。"Tao Fang said at this time, "Xiao, the mayor, although I'm not a member of the team, next month's salary, I can choose not to receive it." 。"Xiao Zheng turned to Tao Fang in the co-pilot's seat and said, "Tao Fang, thank you for your support of my work." 。This trip to Jingzhou, once again, was fruitless. 。Xiao Zheng did not give up on connecting with other banks. He also asked other team members if they had any banking contacts to introduce him. 。It's unlikely that any major banks would be willing to loan money to Tianhuang Town. They are not optimistic about the current "Rich and Beautiful Countryside Construction" project in Tianhuang Town, worried that once they lend money to the town, there will be a big question mark over when it can be recovered. 。It's almost the beginning of the month, time to get paid. 。According to the research and decision of the town Party Committee and government, the wages of the leading group members and some middle-level cadres will be withheld first. They will be paid after the next step of bank loans are in place or projects are introduced. 。

While Tao Fang volunteered, some members of the group didn't feel the same way. 。They think that, as members of the team, there's no reason why our salaries shouldn't be paid, while ordinary staff members have already received theirs. Shouldn't leaders be taking a cut first They don't say it openly, but their thoughts are running wild. They express their dissatisfaction privately. 。This day Xiao Zheng arrived at work earlier than usual. As he walked up the stairs, he heard someone talking in the water room. 。"Mayor Xiao is really not good at managing the economy. He can't handle economic work, and now he has even made it impossible for our team members to receive their food rations." 。“Back when Ming was in charge, even if the town head couldn't get money, Ming could always get it. There was never a time when salaries were unpaid.” 。"Yes, although Song Guomin is greedy and takes money, he's probably powerful." 。Making money is a breeze. 。“So, don't be afraid of corrupt leaders, just be afraid of incompetent ones! Mayor Xiao is still too inexperienced after all.” 。“Keep your voice down, don't let Mayor Xiao hear us.” 。"So what if you heard it He's right here, and I still say it." 。Xiao Zheng didn't bother with them. He kept walking and returned to his office. 。In the office, Xiao Zheng smoked silently, looking at the old tea trees on the back mountain. 。In the days that followed, besides his daily work, Xiao Zheng kept trying to find a way, but he made no progress. 。The town originally planned to send village cadres to other places for study and inspection, to learn more experience and inspire development ideas. However, due to financial constraints, it has been postponed. 。When will I be able to go, also becomes an unknown. 。Jian Xiu Shui and Li Li from Bai Shu Wan Village actually went on a trip to Nan Xi rafting at their own expense, saw the successful experience of others, and came back full of confidence, feeling that this could be done. 。But she also lacked funds. Jianxiu Shui wanted to use her own restaurant as collateral to borrow money from the bank. 。The bank may also think that Jianxiushui is just a small private business owner and is unwilling to lend her money. 。

Jian Xiushui came to see Xiao Zheng once, hoping that Mayor Xiao could help her think of a way. 。Xiao Zheng also told her about his unsuccessful attempt to borrow money from the town. Jian Xiushui understood Xiao Zheng's difficulties and had to shelve the matter for now. 。Xiao Zheng suddenly felt that the business in town seemed to have stalled, and there was no way to move forward. 。In the first month after the implementation of the last-place elimination assessment method, An County ranked last in the city's assessment, and Tianhuang Town also ranked last in the county's assessment. 。It has been nearly two months since and Jiangzhong Television reported on the matter, but there hasn't been any further instructions from provincial leaders, nor have there been any plans for a visit to investigate. It seems that this issue is no longer a priority for the leadership. 。The provincial media's interest in publicity naturally waned, and the outside world's attention to Tianhuang Town also subsided. 。The more you rush, the faster time seems to pass. 。The results of the second month's assessment are also out, An County continues to rank last in the city, and Tianhuang Town ranks last in the county. 。As the end of the third month approached, the city committee secretary Tan suddenly came to An County for research. The heads of relevant townships also participated. 。Tan Shushu said at the meeting: "The last-place elimination assessment method introduced by the city government is not a joke, and the city will definitely enforce it according to regulations." 。Anxian must be mentally prepared for this. 。County Party Secretary Xiao Jingyu's expression was very grim. 。The county magistrate also said, “We also hope that the city can strictly implement the last-place assessment method, and our county will also strictly implement the existing assessment system.” 。"Fang also turned his gaze to Wen Wei, the clerk of Tianhuang Town." 。Guan Wenwei felt a chill run down his spine, and secretly thought to himself, could it be that even his Party Secretary was due for a change

Back in town, Xiao Zheng was also at a loss. 。He casually glanced at his text messages and found a message from two days ago that he hadn't seen: "Mayor Xiao, this is An Ru Yi" 。My family has a company in Nanhai, and we want to invest in a project in Tianhuang Town. We plan to lease the entire Green Water Village and develop it into a garden-style hotel and entertainment complex. 。When will you be free, so that I and my father can come and talkected everything to turn out exactly as he had predicted. 。Gao Xuefeng muttered, "Damn it, I'm really amazing." 。"Everyone can buy lottery tickets now!"Gao Xuemei pushed Gao Xuefeng aside and rushed...
