Wang Meng did want to take this opportunity to deal with Li Shaoqiang, but he knew that this was not the time. With just Li Shaoqiang's words, he could not move Fang Ping's army, nor could he defeat Li Shaoqiang. He could only be like Wang Meng and they all face each other head-on. Secret opposition and front-on-front standing are different.

So, he only made trouble today, but he would not be unsheathed. If he didn't make trouble, how could he suppress those people in the city government?

Wang Meng dares to fight against Fang Pingjun, the ruling faction, who dares to disobey?

Wang Meng's move was also for the Shi Sect to show.

When he first took office, Wang Meng knew what he wanted to do, and he knew that he would definitely offend the Shanghai faction and the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee Gao Chunpu.

But Wang Meng was not afraid. He had reasons to shirk responsibility and had found a scapegoat. He just said that He Shengping forced him to do this and didn't want to do it, but Fang Pingjun did too much and he would do it when he was angry! With this saying, although everything could not be fine, Gao Chunpu and Ding Zhenlong could not do anything about him. Who would not be angry if they put this matter on?

The advantage of this move is that Wang Meng has the financial power in his own hands, and Wang Meng dares to fight against the popular Shanghai faction, and he will become the target of the Stone Sect's win over. Although the Stone Sect may not trust him, the enemy's enemy is a friend, and winning over is definitely better than confrontation.

In this way, at least, Wang Meng has an alliance in the municipal government, and he is not alone. As for whether Wang Meng surrenders to the Shi Sect or whether the Shi Sect is incorporated by Wang Meng, that is not necessarily the case.

At this time, He Shengping didn't know that Wang Meng had dug a hole and buried him, and he became a scapegoat. He was still trying to gain time for Wang Meng, a pit guy.

"Comrade Shaoqiang, go together? Comrade He Shengping, Minister of the National Organization Department, is also here. The municipal party committee will hold a banquet to entertain Minister He, and we will go together." The matter was completed successfully, and Wang Meng felt very happy. He invited Li Shaoqiang, who was depressed, to borrow flowers to offer Buddha. Who wouldn't know how to borrow flowers to offer? If Wang Meng asked Li Shaoqiang to pay out of his own pocket and spend a penny, Wang Meng felt distressed, because Li Shaoqiang's kindness is not worth it.

Wang Meng's move was also telling Li Shaoqiang that after reading the article just now, I would not tell Secretary Pingjun that you betrayed him. You had to be obedient back then! If you were disobedient, then I would be sorry.

Although Yu Mingdong also heard it, Wang Meng believed that Yu Mingdong would not sue Li Shaoqiang for the wrongdoing to Fang Pingjun because the officialdom was most taboo to punish him. If Yu Mingdong sued Li Shaoqiang for the wrongdoing, even if he did not lie, Fang Pingjun would have an opinion on Mingdong.

Li Shaoqiang looked at Yu Mingdong. He understood Wang Meng's meaning, but he could not guarantee that Yu Mingdong would not report him. At this time, Li Shaoqiang was indeed afraid. Now that the financial power has been taken away by Wang Meng, whether he wants it or not, he is already Wang Meng's subordinate. Even if Fang Pingjun still follows him, the county magistrate is better to take charge now, let alone Wang Meng seized his handle.

Yu Mingdong is not stupid, so how could he not know what Li Shaoqiang meant to look at him? He was angry, but said, "Let's go together!"

"Okay!" Li Shaoqiang dared not agree. At this time, he lost his arrogant and domineering attitude. The county was actually a little grateful to Wang Meng and Yu Mingdong.

The three of them took the Secretary-General's Audi car to the city government.

In border provinces, the cars of the deputy department and bureau level and above cadres in the province are all Audis. Of course, the models are different and the prices are also different. This is definitely a luxury in this poor area that relies on the national economy.

There is no such phenomenon in other places, and cars are distributed in accordance with national regulations.

But the border province where the people are so poor that they are bleeding is unique. They ignore the national regulations and do their own things, which shows how arrogant it is.

In the car, Wang Meng and Li Shaoqiang talked about the city's finances.

Yu Mingdong just listened and didn't say anything.

When he arrived at the municipal government, Wang Meng sighed in his heart, saying that this was not like a municipal government building, nor was it as good as the Qinglong County Government Building.

In Xueshahe City, the Municipal Party Committee Building is eight floors. Although it is not high, it occupies a large area and is quite grand. However, the Municipal Government Building is an old building, with only an elevator installed. This shows that in Xueshahe City, the Municipal Government has no status and does not control the finances.

Seeing that the car of the secretary-general of the municipal party committee came, the armed police who were holding the door quickly let it go.

At this time, it was almost lunch break, but there was still more than half an hour before lunch break.

Yu Mingdong called the municipal government secretary-general Gong Bike in the car.

Gong Bike was shocked when he received the call. Has the mayor taken office? Why don’t we know?

Gong Bike understood that it must be the old guy Fang Pingjun who was doing it.

Gong Bike quickly brought government officials to the government gate to greet him.

Gong Bike is in his forties, wearing a gray Zhongshan suit, clean and straight, with two fountain pens inserted into his left top pocket, like a brigade accountant.

Gong Bike is tall, neither fat nor thin, has a rectangular face and a little deep-sleeping eye sockets, but is not thin, just this natural mold base.

Wang Meng did not follow the local customs and wore a suit because the official uniform was distributed by the government, so there was no need for Wang Meng to do one by himself.

In addition to Wang Meng, Gong Bike believes that he knows Yu Mingdong and Li Shaoqiang, so there is no need to ask, this young man with a young face is the new mayor.

"Mayor Wang? I don't know that you are here to take office and have not been welcomed. Please forgive me!" Gong Bike quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Wang Meng and explained. But he was secretly surprised that Wang Meng was so young.

"It's okay. I just received the appointment from the municipal party committee. If the municipal party committee doesn't notify you, I'm afraid it will affect your work!" Wang Meng shook hands with Gong Bike with a smile.

Gong Bike smiled bitterly. The new mayor really knows how to find a way for us, and he is too good at comforting himself.

After Gong Bike greeted Yu Mingdong and Li Shaoqiang, he began to introduce the government cadres present. Because they did not receive any notice, some cadres went out to work and had not yet rushed back.

Wang Meng shook hands with them one by one.

These government cadres are all deputy mayors and members of the government party group, and are all deputy bureau-level and department-level cadres. The youngest is still thirty-eight or nine years old. Seeing that Wang Meng is only in his twenties, but they are their leaders, they all feel deeply moved.

"Comrade Bike, you organize government cadres and we go to the municipal party committee for dinner together. Today, Minister He from the National Organization Department came here in person! It is not appropriate for us not to come forward. Even if we do not receive the notice, we cannot let the municipal party committee sit on wax, let alone let Minister He laugh. You must know that Minister He came to inspect and report to the central government. Tell the government cafeteria that we will go to the municipal party committee to eat, don't waste it if you do too much." Wang Meng said as he smiled and looked at Gong Bike.

Gong Bike was stunned when he heard this. After he looked at Wang Meng with a meaningful look, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Yes!" Gong Bike immediately organized the vehicle and arranged for the cadres to go to the municipal party committee canteen to have a meal.

Gong Bike didn't understand Wang Meng, but he saw that Wang Meng seemed to be angry and wanted to eliminate the municipal party committee.

It’s no wonder that if the mayor takes office, Fang Pingjun doesn’t inform the municipal government to greet him. If the mayor is not angry, it will be strange.

Gong Bike was secretly happy. It seems that Mayor Wang is very strong? Fang Pingjun did this and probably offended Wang Meng completely. Otherwise, Wang Meng would not have taken government officials to punish the municipal party committee. Government officials are not having enough food.

As soon as the new mayor came, he was offended by the Haishang. If the new mayor is still so strong, wouldn’t it be very beneficial to the Stone Sect?

At this time, Yu Mingdong looked at Wang Meng, his face twitched, and he thought to himself, Comrade Wang Meng, do you dare to explain it more clearly? What does it mean to not let the municipal party committee sit on wax? What does it mean to not let Minister He laugh at? What does it mean to consider the face of the municipal party committee? Bullshit, aren’t you obviously embarrassing the municipal party committee? Are you obviously taking revenge?

Yu Mingdong was convinced. Wang Meng is such a big temper. He has taken back the financial power. It’s not over yet?

Yu Mingdong also felt that Secretary Fang Pingjun's affairs were not authentic, wise enough, and a bit narrow-minded. If the government mayor takes office, you don't even notify the municipal government, and this matter is unreasonable. The struggle also requires means. This method of embarrassing the municipal government and publicly giving the new mayor a big face is definitely not a wise move.

However, Yu Mingdong really admires Wang Meng, who is so stupid and bold, and he really dares to do it!

Usually, the municipal party committee and the municipal government are very unfavorable. Apart from work, they do not interact with each other behind their backs, just like enemies.

Of course, there are also people from the Shi Sect in the municipal party committee, but very few. The municipal government also has Shanghai Sect in the municipal party committee, but very few. These few have no right to speak.

This is also the result of the struggle between the two factions.

Wang Meng actually took these government cadres who were not in the way of dealing with the municipal party committee to go to the municipal party committee cafeteria to openly have a meal? I guess Fang Pingjun would be angry to death.

Yu Mingdong has seen Wang Meng's courage and courage, and even more so has the character of being able to repay himself!

Gong Bike is very capable and good at doing things. He asked the driver to drive out the No. 1 city government car and asked Wang Meng to get on the bus. Other government officials got on the bus commuting to the government.

Wang Meng greeted Yu Mingdong, Li Shaoqiang and Gong Bike got on his No. 1 car.

Yu Mingdong used the excuse that the car was too crowded and returned to his car, he wanted to inform Fang Pingjun immediately so that Fang Pingjun could be mentally prepared. He also told the municipal party committee canteen to eat more quickly, because there were nearly twenty more people, and it would be even more embarrassing to get away with the food at that time, as if the municipal party committee could not afford to pay for the meal.

Wang Meng knew what Yu Mingdong was going to do, but he didn't say it out loud.

Li Shaoqiang was full of doubts and had an excuse to talk about with Yu Mingdong, so he uninvited to get into Yu Mingdong's car.

Seeing Li Shaoqiang, who had always been arrogant and domineering, being polite to Wang Mengke, Gong Bike despised him extremely.

Gong Bike got on the No. 1 car of the city government.

"Mayor Wang? Director Shaoqiang went to the municipal party committee to attend your appointment meeting? He received the notice?" Gong Bike looked at Wang Meng and asked politely.

Wang Meng glanced at the driver.

"He is Cheng Zhi, the old mayor's driver. The old mayor is very satisfied with him." Gong Bike knew that Wang Meng was worried about the driver, so he must have something to say, so he quickly explained.

Wang Meng understood that the driver was from the Stone Sect, at least a person worthy of Gong Bike's trust. "Li Shaoqiang didn't know. Fang Pingjun did this and gave me a chance. Now, the city's financial power has been taken back by me. "Wang Meng said bluntly, as if he had been familiar with Gong Bike for a long time.

"Ah?" Gong Bike opened his mouth wide and looked at Wang Meng in amazement, shocked.

Wang Meng felt the car body shaking, and it was obvious that the driver was also startled.

"I just returned from the bank to change the seal. You are the director of the government office. You are responsible for custody of these things according to regulations. From now on, the municipal finance will temporarily close the accounts. You notify the Audit Bureau and go to the Finance Bureau to check the accounts in the afternoon." Wang Meng said as he handed a file bag to Gong Bike.

Gong Bike then believed it, and his face turned red with excitement. The old mayor had been fighting against Fang Pingjun for this financial power, otherwise the municipal party committee and municipal government would not have hated him so much. He never dreamed that as soon as the acting mayor Wang Meng took back the financial power that originally belonged to the municipal government as soon as he took office?

"Originally, the Finance Bureau is under the jurisdiction of the municipal government. Is there anything wrong with it when I take it back?" Wang Meng said with a smile at Gong Bike in surprise.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's right. This time the city government is worthy of its reputation and no longer has to be angry! Mayor Wang? How did you do it?" Gong Bike was so excited that his hands holding the file bag were trembling.

"Hehe! Simple, Minister He is here. As soon as I mentioned it, Secretary Fang agreed reasonably! He also explained that in the past, the old mayor was sick and often asked for sick leave. He was afraid of delaying the matter, so he took the financial power to temporarily manage it. When I came, I naturally had to return it." Wang Meng said with a smile. If he didn't ask him to tell me about these things, they would also spread in the future.

"He really knows how to gild his face! The old mayor is also angry when he is sick. He also said to be temporarily managed? Since he took office, he has taken the financial power, and the province has actually acquiesced. What can the old mayor do? "Gong Bike didn't even treat Wang Meng as an outsider, and said angrily.

In Gong Bike's view, Wang Meng was in opposition with the Hai Sect and brought back the financial power. Even if he did not join the Shi Sect, he would definitely target the Hai Sect in the future. The enemy's enemy was a friend. At this time, Gong Bike regarded Wang Meng as his own person. He did not believe that Wang Meng would not know the situation in the border province when he took office. He must have investigated it, otherwise he would not have known that the municipal financial power was in the hands of the municipal party secretary.

"Oh? There's still this?" Wang Meng pretended to be stupid.

"At the beginning, the financial power was in the hands of the old mayor, but the provincial finance did not approve funds, and teachers and government cadres who blocked the doors all day long, as well as funds, Wuyang and Wuyang. The old mayor had no choice but to hand over the financial power. After Fang Pingjun took the power, the province immediately allocated funds. Who would not be angry? It would be a pity for not being angry to death!" Gong Bike's face was full of anger.

"Actually, I know some of the situations in the border province, and I don't want to work in the border province. To be honest, the water here is too deep, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get up if I am trampled down! Before I came, I wanted to not participate in any struggle and develop the economy with peace of mind. However, the clay man is still angry! I have no grudges and no grudges with him, but he actually beat me up? Even if I do my best, I can't bear it! I have this temper!" Wang Meng said gritting his teeth.

Gong Bike was overjoyed. Sure enough, this young man was exasperated by that old guy Fang Pingjun.

"Since you have learned about it, you will know the Shi Sect and Hai Sect in the border province. To be honest, the Shi Sect is not as good as the Hai Sect at present, because the Hai Sect holds money. Once we control the finances of the whole province, plus the public security, procuratorial and judicial affairs, the Hai Sect is simply vulnerable. Unfortunately, the old secretary is careless. However, Mayor Wang, don't worry, as long as our municipal government is united and has financial power, we will not be so frustrated in the future." Gong Bike said excitedly, even more bluntly.

"Comrade Bike, you think too simple. The financial power has been taken back, but the Finance Bureau currently has more than 8 million yuan, which is barely enough for two months of expenses. If the expenses are gone, what should I do if the provincial finance does not allocate funds? I'm still going back to the age of the old mayor? I regret it now. This is a hot potato. If I can't do it well, I'm slapping myself in the face. In the end, I have to beg others to hand over the power back." Wang Meng said with a bitter face.

"This is really a problem! However, the municipal finance is definitely more than eight million. These eight million are just on the books. The municipal finance has a small treasury, which is probably a few million. If it can be taken down, it can also solve the urgent problem. For other things, our government will hold a meeting to study and study it in the afternoon. I don't believe it, there is no way. This power has finally been taken back, but it must not be handed over!" Gong Bike said.

Gong Bike really regarded Wang Meng as his own and said nothing, since he wanted to join forces with Wang Meng to fight against the municipal party committee.

No wonder Wang Meng offended the Hai Sect as soon as he came. If he didn't rely on the Shi Sect, who else could he rely on? Does he want to fight alone in the border province? What a joke?

"Oh? And the small treasury? They won't take advantage of the current time to transfer it, right? I just issued an order to seal the account. When will the treasury be sealed? Isn't Li Shaoqiang's final decision? Since it is a small treasury, it will not be placed on the open account, and we can't find it?" Wang Meng frowned.

"Then I'll let the Audit Bureau close the accounts now. Audit Bureau Director Zhang Lijiang is ours. He has experience and knows how to find the small treasury." Li Shaoqiang said as he took out his cell phone and called.

We? Wang Meng found it very funny. When did he become theirs? Did I agree?

However, Wang Meng threw out so much bait just to quickly control the municipal government. Only by controlling the municipal government can he have the ability to fight against the municipal party committee. And winning over the Shi Sect is the only shortcut. Because there are many Shi Sects in the government.
