When Feng Yu carried a stack of banners down from his car, Zhang Ruiqiang, who was by the windows, became nervous.
Nothing good will happen every time Feng Yu brought something with him to the City Government. But since when did this kid start selling banners? Banners can be sold for high profits?
“Brother Liu, come and help me. I can’t carry it all by myself.” Feng Yu strolled towards Zhang Ruiqiang’s office. The whole City Government officials could see him carrying a lot of banners into Zhang Ruiqiang’s office.
But nobody would think this was bribery. No would use banners to bribe someone else.
Zhang Ruiqiang’s new secretary immediately rush over to help Feng Yu. He looked at Feng Yu helplessly and said: “Manager Feng before Brother Zhao left, he told me that you are not allowed to bring anything into Mayor Zhang’s office.”
“These are not gifts. These are petitions.”
“Petitions?!” Secretary Liu was shocked. There were too many banners. All these banners were petitions?
Zhang Ruiqiang could hear from inside his office. Before Feng Yu could enter his office, he went out: “What are all these banners?”
“These are petitions. These are all signed by the Machinery Company’s employees and their family members.”
“What is there to petition about? You think this is the olden society?!” Zhang Ruiqiang was furious. This must be Feng Yu’s idea. No one else would do such things.
“What new society and old society? These banners reflect the thoughts of the people. They had wanted to come to the City Government personally to express their thoughts. But I stopped them.”
Zhang Ruiqiang sneered: “Then should I thank you?”
“No need to thank me. I am just doing what I can.” Feng Yu waved his hand as if it was a small matter.
Zhang Ruiqiang’s hands were shaking and took out a cigarette from the pack on Secretary Liu’s desk. Secretary Liu immediately lit the cigarette for him. After 2 heavy puffs, Zhang Ruiqiang calms down a bit.
“Tell me. What is the meaning of all these petitions?”
“Huh? This petition is for the City government to upgrade our hospital’s equipment. It does not cost a lot. Only 10 million RMB will do. This petition is to ask the City Government to expand our hospital. 8 to 10 hectors of land should be enough. Also, this banner is for…….”
“Enough! Is there anything that is normal?”
“Of course. This one. Look. It is well written. Support the restructuring of the hospital. This would benefit the employees and their families. This one too. Support the hospital hiring of specialists. Also, this one……” Feng Yu happily unfold one banner after another.
Zhang Ruiqiang waved his hand impatiently: “Fine. I know this is all about the restructuring of your hospital, right?”
If someone’s name was Fatty, then he might be skinny now; If someone was dressed poorly, he might be a millionaire; If someone looks like he needs a beating…… then he must really be beaten up!
Zhang Ruiqiang really wishes to beat Feng Yu to death now. Strangling him was fine too.
Feng Yu could tell from Zhang Ruiqiang’s tone that he was now seriously considering this matter.
“Yes, yes, yes. It is only this small matter. Sorry to trouble you.”
Small matter? If this was a small matter, why would you get thousands of people to sign petitions?
“Go back and wait. I will let you know the City Government’s decision tomorrow!”
“Thank you, Mayor. How about having lunch together later?”
“Get lost~~~~.”
Feng Yu left smiling. Ha, you don’t want to help me? You want to follow by the rules? Rules were meant to be broken!
……
“Deputy Mayor Zhang, you called for an emergency meeting for this matter?” The Deputy Mayor Li, who oversaw education and health, was not happy. This type of matter can be discussed privately. There was no need to address it in a meeting.
We know that you are the Executive Deputy Mayor, but there was no need to discuss the things under my jurisdiction in a meeting. Others will think that I am not doing my job.
“Deputy Mayor Li, this is quite urgent. Earlier today, someone from the Machinery Company had sent me a stack of petitions!”
“Petitions? A stack?” Deputy Mayor Li was surprised. Usually, one petition would be enough. He had never heard of a stack of petitions!
“Those banners are the petitions. I think all of you should know that each banner had the signatures of a few hundred workers and their families. There were even the signatures of the Machinery Company’s hospital doctors, nurses, and even the janitors! If we do not give them an answer today, I am afraid that they will come to the City Government tomorrow morning. Don’t you think that we must settle this as soon as possible?”
“Li Mingde dare to do such things?” Deputy Mayor Li looked at Deputy Mayor Xu. Li Mingde was groomed by him. Could Deputy Mayor Xu be the one creating all this trouble at the back?
Deputy Mayor Xu was now trying to stay low. He had heard the news of his transfer after the Lunar New Year. He will be transferred to the backend. He would be demoted too. The higher-ups felt that there was a problem with his working attitude. He was backstabbing his colleagues to get promotions. He was not suitable to be sitting in his current position.
Deputy Mayor Xu was thinking of using all his connections in his remaining days to help his secretary get his promotion. After all, his secretary had been working for him for many years. He should at least help him with his career. As for other matters, he was not interested in getting involved.
“Li Mingde might not dare to do this, but those workers dare. I had explained the situation very clearly. The representatives from the Health Ministry and Trade and Industry Bureau, tell us your thoughts.” Zhang Ruiqiang asked them directly.
The leader from the Health Ministry saw the people from the Trade and Industry Bureau looking down and pretending to take notes. He was cursing in his heart. The leader had already finished talking, and you are still taking notes?!
“Based on our country’s regulations, the public can run private hospitals, and they are allowed to make profits from the hospitals.”
“That means you support this proposal?” Deputy Mayor Li stared coldly at the leader from the Health Ministry.
“This…… This…… I think we should hear from the Trade and Industry Bureau. Can the hospital be converted into a shareholding?”
The leader from the Trade and Industry Bureau was cursing the leader from the Health Ministry in his heart. You can’t answer the question, and you pass the problem to me?
“Based on our country’s laws, although there have not been any units that had done something like this, there are no regulations that state this is not allowed. After all the Machinery Company is now a shareholding. This hospital is a unit under a shareholding company. If you looked at the hospital as a subsidiary under a shareholding company, then it is completely legal for the hospital to be converted into a shareholding!”
It was clear that Deputy Mayor Zhang was in favor of this restructuring and Deputy Mayor Li was not in support. Deputy Mayor Zhang was the Executive Deputy Mayor, and Deputy Mayor Li was not in charge of the Trade and Industry Bureau. Of course, the leader from the Trade and Industry Bureau would choose to support Deputy Mayor Zhang.
After those two had expressed their views, the rest of the deputy mayors start to express their thoughts on this matter. But most of them did not give a definite answer. They were all sitting on the fence and does not want to take sides.
Deputy Mayor Li could not find any good reason to reject this proposal. But at this time, the Mayor said: “I think this is a serious problem. We might face similar problems in the future. We should try this out. If things do not work out, we can rectify it immediately. If things turn out nicely, then we will know what to do when we face with similar issues in the future.”
The City Mayor supported this proposal and what more can the rest say. They raised their hands to vote. Even Deputy Mayor Xu raised his hand to support this proposal. Everyone in the meeting had expressed that they will support this restructuring.
Thus, the restructuring of the hospital was finally approved……
