Chapter 130 I will never be greedy for money
The car drove to the entrance of the City Garden residential area, but didn't go in. Old Tan couldn't bring himself to go find Dawei.
Moreover, Dawei had just spoken to him and pointed out that the Xiaotang Town hot spring issue had a very negative impact, clearly indicating that Dawei did not support the development of the Xiaotang Town hot spring.
It seems like searching for it didn't do any good.
Old Tan gripped the Nissan steering wheel tightly, frowning in thought.
No, why did County Chief Chen suddenly call him out? Is he implying that he needs to make offerings?
He kept giving tributes to Chen Wei and his group, but not to County Chief Chen, so County Chief Chen was unhappy.
What if the provincial department's action this time is because County Chief Chen reported the matter of Xiaotang Town to people in the province?
Thinking of this, Lao Tan got out of the car.
They arrived at Dawei's building, but instead of looking for Dawei directly, they called Wu Maocai, who lived downstairs from Dawei.
Wu Maocai, Lin Wangyou, Xie Changhe and their gang had all come to Xiaotang Town to spend money before, and they all ordered high-end technicians, so they were very willing to spend money.
It's easier to talk to Wu Maocai.
When the call was made, Wu Maocai answered. Shortly after, Wu Maocai came downstairs and got into Secretary Tan's car.
Seeing Lao Tan's worried face, Wu Maocai knew that something serious had happened.
"What's wrong with you?"
Old Tan lit a cigarette and told them about how the provincial department had sent people to Xiaotang Town to raid the town and arrest hundreds of people.
"Oh... the provincial department's operation..." Wu Maocai's eyes darted around as he considered the implications.
David didn't tell him about this, so it probably wasn't David's doing.
That was direct intervention from higher-ups.
No sooner had County Chief Dawei been attacked in Xiaotang Town than the Provincial Department sent people to the scene.
Perhaps this also reflects the response to Dawei's attack; the provincial department is making a statement, and to some extent, it's supporting Dawei now.
Considering this, Wu Maocai was eager to distance himself from the situation.
"There's nothing anyone can do about the actions taken by the provincial authorities."
Even if you come to me, there's nothing I can do.
Asking me to find County Chief Chen to smooth things over is even more impossible.
Our current county head is a clean person.
He has no leverage over anyone.
It's not Xie Changhe.
Why would he help you smooth things over?
Right?
Wu Maocai gave a cold laugh without saying a word.
Old Tan made a tough decision: "30. I'll have someone give 30 every month to the card designated by County Chief Chen."
Ask him for help.
I beg the provincial authorities to be lenient and give those people a light punishment.
Wu Maocai's face froze. Good heavens, they're going to send County Magistrate Chen to jail.
He chuckled coldly twice, without replying.
"It's 10,000 per month for you alone." Seeing Wu Maocai's still disdainful look, Lao Tan gritted his teeth and said, "Perhaps you can name a number."
As long as this matter can be resolved, everything is negotiable. I will talk to those bosses.
From now on, I will listen to you and County Chief Chen.
"Wherever you point, I'll shoot."
Old Tan was going all out. If he couldn't rely on that old fox Zhou Xiangzhang, he might as well find someone else to rely on.
Wu Maocai chuckled and shook his head: "Old Tan, for the sake of the past, I can pretend you were never here."
Let alone 30.
Even if you give County Chief Chen 300 million yuan, he won't help you.
Your Xiaotang Town has always been involved in illegal business.
The fact that he hasn't punished you is already an immense act of leniency.
I advise you to think carefully about what to do next.
Lin Wangyou is now under investigation, and the county discipline inspection commission has lost its leader.
"By the time you start planning after the new county discipline inspection commission secretary takes office, it will be too late."
Wu Maocai patted him on the shoulder and got out of the car.
Old Tan wiped his face and punched the steering wheel hard.
Wu Maocai watched the cars downstairs from the stairwell. After Lao Tan's car left, he took the elevator to the 7th floor and sent a message to Dawei, asking if he was asleep.
"not yet."
"I'm at the door. Want to come out for a smoke and a chat?"
"wait for me."
David packed up and tiptoed out the door, where he saw Wu Maocai smiling at him from the elevator entrance.
That smile carried a hint of weariness and helplessness.
It's obvious that something bad has happened to them.
The two went to the stairwell to smoke, and Wu Maocai explained what had happened.
Dawei's heart skipped a beat.
The hot springs in Xiaotang Town had always been a source of anxiety for him.
This issue was brought up during County Chief Qiao's tenure, but it was never resolved.
Dawei once asked, why not push forward the rectification of the hot springs in Xiaotang Town?
County Chief Qiao said that this matter should be put on hold for now.
Looking back now, it seems that some high-ranking figure was involved, making it difficult to proceed further.
So when Dawei took office, he was also in a dilemma. He was a big shot, just like County Chief Qiao.
The hot spring resort in Xiaotang Town is a notorious name, just like the one in Dongguan City.
No matter how well the economy performs, it's difficult to make it onto the big stage.
If things continue like this, something bad is bound to happen sooner or later.
Don't be fooled by the current thriving gray-market industries in Dongguan. They'll only be squeezed out when they're fully matured, and it's only a matter of time before they're dealt with.
If Xiaotang Town follows this path, it will be the same in the future; it just depends on which leader gets caught up in this mess.
Dawei's talk with Secretary Tan of Xiaotang Town during the day was actually a way of drawing a clear line and making early arrangements to avoid being implicated if something went wrong.
Unexpectedly, the higher-ups acted so quickly, and the matter was resolved tonight.
At this moment, Dawei was still a little scared, but also a little relieved.
"Let's not worry about it."
Since no one from the province contacted me, it means they don't want me to know.
This is to protect me.
Don't have any more contact with Lao Tan.
Wu Maocai nodded slowly, looked around to make sure no one was there, then leaned close to Dawei's ear and whispered, "Old Tan said he'd allocate 300,000 yuan each month, do you think we should...?"
David's expression changed: "I don't want to!"
"I understand, I rejected him too."
"This is a red line; if you're greedy for money, don't become an official."
"Yes, yes!" Wu Maocai nodded repeatedly.
Dawei offered him a cigarette, fearing he might stumble at this moment: "Brother Cai, let's talk behind closed doors, our salaries aren't low."
There is more than enough food, drink and other necessities.
The place we live in now is the best residential area in the county.
What else do you want, huh?
Wu Maocai repeatedly agreed.
"A nobleman in Kyoto once gave me this advice."
He said that as long as there are no economic problems, he can continue to hold this official position.
I'm sharing this with you today as well.
Wu Maocai's eyes were filled with admiration: "Well said, that's a profound statement. Don't worry, I will never be greedy for money."
Dawei's phone started vibrating. He saw it was Xu Aiguo calling, but he didn't answer.
"That's all for now, get some rest."
Wu Maocai wisely went downstairs.
David only answered Director Xu's call after the elevator reached the fourth floor.
