Rebirth in officialdom: crush enemies and reach the top

After Wu Quansong left, Chu Xian looked at his office carefully.

The area is not large, but it is kept clean and tidy.

There is a three-layer file rack, a pen holder, a bottle of ink, and a small national flag on the desk.

But there is no computer.

At this time, computers were still a luxury product and had not yet been equipped with government agencies at the township level.

There was a row of bookcases against the wall behind the office. There were many books in them, but Chu Xian flipped through them casually, and the pages were all brand new.

It was obvious that the former mayor only regarded these books as window dressing and did not really like reading.

There is also a framed calligraphy work hanging on the bookcase, with the four characters "It's rare to be confused" written on it.

Chu Xian remembered that the mayor before him was picked up by Secretary Wu Quansong because of serious violations of laws and disciplines, and he didn't know whether his so-called "confusion" was really confused or fake.

Chu Xian picked up the documents on the shelf and looked at them. They were a large pile of rural subsistence allowance applications that had not yet been approved, as well as applications for the payment of compensation for land expropriation due to the construction of the reservoir.

I looked at the application date and it was already a few months ago.

Chu Xian couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with things that were closely related to the interests of the people, such as subsistence allowances and land expropriation compensation.

It should be handled on a special basis and processed as quickly as possible, but this batch of applications has been gathering dust here for several months, and no one paid any attention to it!

When Chu Xian was about to find someone to ask, the office door was pushed open.

A woman with a ponytail, a white knitted woolen sweater and brown leggings came in.

The woman had regular features and was quite pretty. When she walked in, she smelled of cream.

With a smile as bright as a flower, she stretched out a fair and soft hand to Chu Xian, "Hello, mayor, my name is Ye Donghua, and I am the deputy director of the Party and Government Office. If you have any needs, you can tell me."

Chu Xian was about to ask her if she knew about these application forms, but Ye Donghua's eyes began to look back and forth in the office and asked, "Mayor, do you want to change the layout of your office?"

Chu Xian was stunned for a moment, and then understood what she meant.

There is an unwritten rule in officialdom.

If your ex’s reason for leaving is for promotion, then don’t change the layout and furnishings of the office, because this represents good feng shui and a good sign!

But if your predecessor is fired, then the office furnishings and layout will have to be changed. For example, moving the table from one corner to another will break the previous bad luck!

In fact, this is a kind of psychological superstition.

Chu Xian didn't care about this at all and refused directly, "No need!"

Then he picked up the application form on the folder and asked Ye Donghua, "Do you know these forms?"

Ye Donghua picked it up and looked at it with doubts on her face. She then looked at the application date, frowned and thought for a while before replying, "I sent this to the former mayor when I was here. It should have been a few months ago. I sent it here." Not long after, something happened to him! Later, because Secretary Wu was not working in this office, he didn’t see these application forms! I didn’t dare to touch the boss’s things, so I kept them here!”

After hearing this, Chu Xian was speechless and had no good impression of Ye Donghua in front of him!

If the former mayor entered these application forms, he would naturally not be able to approve them.

But later, since Wu Quansong also served as the mayor, Ye Donghua, as the director of the Party and Government Office, should submit these applications to him for approval in a timely manner.

But Ye Donghua didn't do this, resulting in this batch of application statements lying in vain on the folder for several months!

Chu Xian couldn't tell at the moment. Did Ye Donghua fail to understand the urgency and importance of this batch of application forms, or was she simply lazy?

He took a deep breath and said to Ye Donghua, "Today is the first time we meet, so I won't say anything more! In the future, if there are such documents that are closely related to the vital interests of the people, they must be submitted to the leaders as soon as possible." Do you understand? Because we can wait, but ordinary people can’t wait! Like many rural orphans and poor households with five guarantees, they just rely on the little subsidy money to eat! The application for subsistence allowances has not been processed for so long. This is not a waste of time. Are they being forced to die?"

Ye Donghua's watery eyes were suddenly covered with mist.

The first time she met the new mayor, she was scolded, which made her feel scared and aggrieved.

She also didn't expect that the 22-year-old mayor would be so strict with his work!

Chu Xian couldn't help but sigh when he saw her expression.

He could see that although Ye Donghua did not do it intentionally, it was also a work mistake!

It must be pointed out!

"So, should you, the mayor, approve these application forms now, or should I take them over to Secretary Wu for approval?"

Ye Donghua forced down the uneasiness and grievance deep in her heart and asked Chu Xian.

"Don't rush for approval yet..."

Chu Xian suddenly thought of a more serious problem and stared at Ye Donghuadao with burning eyes, "Have you verified the authenticity of these materials?"

"Verify..."

Ye Donghua was stunned and panicked for a moment, "These were handed in by the village cadres of each village. I just put them on the desk of the former mayor."

"So, you haven't verified the authenticity of these information at all..."

Chu Xian couldn't help but his face darkened, "Then how can you guarantee that among these applicants, there is no illegal fraud or subsidy fraud? Before giving the information to the leader, you must first sort out and summarize all the materials and verify their authenticity. …….”

Chu Xian stopped talking at this point.

Because Ye Donghua's eyes were already moist.

If you continue talking, the other person might just burst into tears.

On the first day he took office, he scolded the deputy director of the Party and Government Office and cried. If word spread, it would be bad for his reputation!

And he can also understand the other party's difficulties.

Grassroots cadres receive meager salaries, but their work tasks are extremely heavy and the pressure is high.

If you want to verify this pile of application materials, you don’t know how much time and energy it will take!

Although he understood the other party's difficulties, Chu Xian would not lower his demands.

Because the interests of the masses are no small matter!

In order to safeguard the interests of the masses, no matter how much time and energy is spent, it is still worth it!

Thinking of this, Chu Xian calmed down his expression and tone, and said to Ye Donghua, "Tomorrow I will go to the village with you to investigate, and by the way, verify whether the information of this batch of applicants is true..."

Ye Donghua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, mayor!"

Before Chu Xian came to Maple Leaf Town to take up a job, he wanted to go to the villages below to conduct research.

As the saying goes, without investigation, there is no right to speak!

If you sit in the office all the time and don't go for a run, you won't be able to find the problem!

Only when the problem is discovered can we prescribe the right medicine and find a solution to the problem!

Only then can we work out a development plan that meets the actual conditions of Maple Leaf Town!
