"You can start work after the New Year. You should screen these people first and confirm the talents in this area to make sure there are no omissions."

“Is there a limit on the number of people?”

"In this matter, we can't take the opportunity of the inspection to travel with our families like we did in previous inspections. We are here with a mission and a job, so there is no limit on the number of people, but the people who go must be those who can do work. No one who doesn't do work will be taken with us." Tie Niu made this decision after hearing about the inspection from others.

"Mayor Tie, based on previous inspections, isn't this a bad arrangement? This can be considered a benefit of our municipal government, a rule that has been formed over the years." Ye Daying just wanted to test Tie Niu's opinion.

"Haha, I don't care how it was arranged before. From now on, you have to follow my rules. Money is the people's tax revenue. We can't use the people's tax revenue to feed those who do nothing to eat, drink, play and travel."

"Okay, I will do as Mayor Tie asked. I won't let any useless trash into the inspection team and I will get this done." Deputy Mayor Ye Daying was really happy this time. After all, after so many years, he also knew some rules in the government.

"Well, the list was finalized before the New Year. After the New Year, I will draw up a trip for you to visit several cities or countries. I will arrange the inspection sites for you, and government officials will receive you. You can conduct inspections and negotiations."

"Mayor Tie, will those foreign cities receive us? They didn't before. We just wandered around and traveled around. To put it bluntly, we traveled with public funds, and no government contacted us."

"Don't worry about that. I will arrange it in advance. And you can ask any questions you have. We are going to investigate and communicate, not to play or joke."

"I understand. Now I have a plan in mind. I will definitely ask each of us to write a summary of the inspection, and the summary will be submitted to the mayor for review. If there are any unqualified ones, it will be used as a basis for their work assessment and promotion or demotion."

"That's right. Our purpose of this assessment is to let everyone learn from others' excellent aspects and enrich our national construction. During this inspection, we will have many exchanges and learn about a city's sanitation, transportation, construction, planning, finance, municipal construction and other aspects, so that we can have a comparison in our future city management."

"Mayor, to be honest, if there is such an inspection, those of us who are capable and have ideas will have a good opportunity to truly broaden our thinking and horizons, so that we can integrate these into the construction of our city in the future and do our part for Guangzhou."

"Well, that's right. This is the right way to think. Just like you said, we will use this inspection as an assessment for the promotion and demotion of our future cadres in Yangcheng, so that everyone knows that the efforts of each of us will not be in vain and there is a path to promotion. Now, everyone is fighting for an empty position in the city, but no one has got it. I tell you clearly that this is why we have been assessing and comparing everyone's abilities. We will only choose the right people who are capable of contributing to the development of Yangcheng."

"Mayor Tie, can I tell everyone your words of encouragement? This will help create a competitive state among everyone. Only by competing and doing things can we catch the eyes of leaders, be valued, and be reused." Ye Daying asked embarrassedly.

Why can't this be possible? Aren't you a special case? If it were only based on your past, would you become the deputy mayor? Of course not, because when others are off work or working, they are drinking tea and chatting, but you are the only one working. Do you understand this?

"So that's how it is. Mayor Tie, do you have the ability to see and hear from afar? How did you know that I have been working hard?" Ye Daying smiled embarrassedly, with a simple and honest look on his face.

"Haha, you really got it right. I have the ability to see and hear from afar, and I can see how extraordinary you are from this. Also, the information you have been tirelessly compiling, although still a little immature, has already laid the foundation for a leader. Keep working hard and don't be proud." Tie Niu threw a cigarette to Ye Daying.

"Mayor Tie, how do you know I smoke? I haven't even given the mayor anything yet, so it's not right for me to accept such an expensive gift from you?"

"Alright, the smell of cigarettes has already betrayed you. Besides, I have everything I need. This pack of cigarettes is a reward for your hard work. When you leave, go to Wang Ping's office to get some other things. Stay at work and don't let me down."

Tie Niu said this in a very sophisticated manner. As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing because he inexplicably said such official language, which made Ye Daying laugh secretly.

"Laugh if you want to. Don't worry about hurting yourself by holding it in. To be honest, this is my first time as mayor, and sometimes I don't know how to handle the relationship between superiors and subordinates. I'm telling the truth. Don't laugh at me. I say this because I treat you as a friend." Tie Niu also smiled awkwardly.

"In fact, Mayor Tie, you are a really good person. You don't know that everyone in our city government has very good comments about you. Ever since you solved the cafeteria problem last time, everyone has been secretly praising you. Also, Mayor Tie is serious about his work and has no airs. Everyone knows that we have a good leader."

"Okay, stop flattering me. I'm just giving you something. I don't need those things. It's Chinese New Year. I won't give compensation to ordinary people. Do you think someone will call me a miser?"

"No, everyone knows that the benefits we distributed this year are much better than in previous years. Everyone is grateful to you."

"Haha, it seems that I should give more benefits to everyone more often, so that I can win more people's hearts. Alas, how could I meet so many people who are obsessed with profit?" Tie Niu laughed and joked.

Tie Niu didn't care about these at all, and he wasn't angry because of what Ye Daying said. Instead, he felt that these people were really realistic. After all, the previous leaders would also give out benefits and give everyone money to buy things.

"Mayor Tie, this is different. In the past, leaders took the lion's share of benefits, while we, the small staff, could only get a small share. Everyone knows that this year's benefits are the same for both leaders and staff. This is what we respect the most about you. We don't care how expensive the things we receive are, because we are respected, and this is how we truly thank you."

"Tell everyone for me, this is the good thing about me. We make money together and eat meat together. If I don't have meat to eat, everyone will just eat air. So work hard."

Tie Niu still felt a little guilty. He had just suspected that everyone was very realistic and snobbish. He never thought that everyone had such grateful thoughts. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Mayor, I can't do this. Everyone wants to express their gratitude to you. Why don't we have a party and sing together and have some fun? We have been busy day and night this year. It's the New Year, so let's celebrate the New Year together as city government employees."

"That's fine. You can do it, right? But I'll pay for the New Year's party. You should do it well and invite the Municipal Party Committee. We can't neglect them because of our activities. After all, we are a family."

"Mayor Tie, this is a city event, how can we ask you to spend money? The government funding is fine, but if we ask you to pay for it yourself, how can we feel comfortable with that?"

"Don't say that. As you said, everyone has been busy all year. Old people are still looking forward to the New Year. We should do a good job. This year, invite the family members of employees to come and have a party together. As long as I work in Yangcheng, I will invite my family members to the party every year to thank them for their support for our government work."

"Mayor, you have a really broad vision. No wonder everyone privately says that the mayor is rich. Well, the life of rich people is carefree. They can do whatever they want, haha." Ye Daying now let go of his restraint.

"You can't say that. I'm not being broad-minded. I'm just thinking about making my family and friends happy. I'll bring them here when the time comes."

"Haha, it turns out the mayor is being secretive. Will your girlfriend come too?"

"Of course. My girlfriend will also perform for everyone. Do you want to see it?" Tie Niu joked. He had too little time to spend with Xiao Cao, so he would take this opportunity to spend more time with her.

"That's great. I'll make arrangements with the people below. Everyone can organize their own programs and perform their own shows. We can all have fun. We don't want to invite big stars. That would be a waste of money."

"I won't talk about these things. You can handle it as you wish. I'll ask the canteen to prepare the delicacies. We can do whatever we want. This year, everyone can support the work of the municipal party committee and government. We can't let anyone feel wronged. After all, we are all family."

"Mayor Tie, no wonder everyone likes you. When we hear you talk like this, we feel very warm in our hearts. I won't say much to you. I want to tell everyone this news as soon as possible so that everyone can notify the family members to prepare the program." Ye Daying said happily.

"Okay, take this money first. It will be used as the preparatory fund for our party. Buy more gifts, try to give one to each person, and give each person a gift box for the performance." Tie Niu pulled out a suitcase from under the desk. There was at least a million dollars in it.

"Mayor, this is for real. It doesn't cost that much money. A few tens of thousands of dollars will be enough."

"If we are going to do it, we will do it to the best of our ability. Otherwise, we will not do it and let everyone have a happy new year. This little money is nothing." Tie Niu signaled Ye Daying to collect the money quickly.

Ye Daying is now a little confused. He doesn't know whether he should keep the money or not. Because, according to Tie Niu, taking out millions of dollars at once or doing it himself makes his heart pounding.

If his subordinates did this, he would be able to remain calm, but it was really difficult for him to do it. After all, this was his personal money, so how could he accept it?

"Mayor, I..." Ye Daying looked at Tie Niu in embarrassment, not knowing whether to extend his hand or not, his face full of embarrassment.

"Okay, these are just small amounts of money. Let's have some fun. After all, everyone has been busy for a year and has worked very hard. Also, we can't do a frivolous party with the Municipal Party Committee. Don't you think that makes sense?"

"But this is too much. Even if I buy everyone a notebook or some books, it would be good. What do you want me to buy with so much money? I don't know how to spend money anymore. I really don't know how to spend money. You won't blame me for this, right?"

"Look at what you said. We need to be more generous this year. We must let everyone have a happy New Year and have some fun. We need to celebrate the New Year in a proper way and buy some things for the family. Don't you think this makes sense?"
