After returning to the office, Qi Tongwei was still worried and decided to discuss countermeasures with Lin Taiping. If he really took things one step at a time as Sun Liancheng said, then the people of Xinyue would be in real trouble.

After knocking on Lin Taiping's office door, Qi Tongwei walked in and said, "Secretary Lin, I have something to report to you."

"Oh, it's Tongwei. What's the urgent matter?" Lin Taiping pointed to the wooden chair opposite and motioned Qi Tongwei to sit down.

After Qi Tongwei sat down, he said anxiously, "Secretary Lin, Mayor Sun said that the town has a financial crisis. What is going on?"

"Ok?"

When Lin Taiping heard Qi Tongwei mention this, he frowned and said, "Tongwei, there is no financial crisis at all. It's just that the funds cannot be turned over. Everything will be fine after the unified planning funds are paid by the end of the year."

"Secretary Lin, Mayor Sun said that we can't even pay the teachers' salaries, and we've been in arrears for three months."

Seeing that Qi Tongwei knew everything, Lin Taiping didn't want to play it safe anymore. He lowered his heavy eyes and looked at Qi Tongwei with a worried look on his face:

"Tongwei, we are all in the same team. I don't want to hide it from you. There is indeed a problem in the town, and it is very serious."

Lin Taiping picked up the thermos cup with wolfberries, took a sip, and continued:

"Tongwei, this isn't just Xinyue's problem. Other towns aren't much better. I heard there's a problem in the county too. Life is hard for everyone."

If you don't manage the household, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. Qi Tongwei is not the person primarily responsible, so naturally he didn't feel any pressure. However, now that he knows the actual situation, he is worried about the people.

You know, education, medical care and safety are the things that the people are most concerned about. Now there is no funding. If they stop operating, there will be a big mess.

Sure enough, if nothing unexpected happens, an accident will happen soon.

"Give me back my salary! Punish the corrupt officials!"

"Give me back my salary! Punish the corrupt officials!"

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of noise outside. Qi Tongwei hurried to the window and saw more than a dozen people gathered downstairs, holding banners and shouting slogans in unison:

"Give me back my salary! Punish the corrupt officials!"

Lin Taiping was also shocked, and then even more angry. He picked up the phone and called out, "Dudu, where are you? What is your police station doing? Who told you to let them in? Send someone out quickly and kick them out. This is simply nonsense!"

Lin Taiping threw the phone and looked at the teachers downstairs angrily, "What nonsense! I have already promised them that they will be given the job in two months. I didn't expect them to come here and cause trouble. How disgraceful!"

"Secretary Lin, doing this will only intensify the conflict. We should focus on appeasement and not add fuel to the fire."

Lin Taiping sneered, "Tongwei, these are two different things. Even if there is a big problem, we cannot besiege the Party Committee and the government. This is a challenge to the authority of the Party and the government."

"Ugh"

Qi Tongwei sighed. Lin Taiping was indeed too stubborn and pedantic. "Secretary Lin, I'll go downstairs."

Seeing that the police were about to drive people away, Qi Tongwei hurried downstairs.

"Stop it, Degree, what are you doing, stop it!"

As soon as Qi Tongwei got downstairs, he saw Dudu and seven or eight other policemen holding batons, and it was obvious that they were going to beat someone up.

"Ducheng, take your people back and don't cause any more trouble. Leave this to me."

He said with some difficulty, "Secretary Qi, it's too dangerous. These teachers are unreasonable and they will beat people."

"You have owed us three months' salary, don't you deserve a beating?" the middle-aged teacher in the lead pointed at Dudu and shouted angrily.

Just as he was about to explode, Qi Tongwei stopped him, "Go back! My words don't work, do they?"

"Secretary Qi... this..."

"Go back!" Qi Tongwei looked at Du and shouted sternly.

Seeing that Qi Tongwei was angry, Dudu didn't dare to stay any longer. After glaring at the middle-aged teacher, he left with the police officers.

Qi Tongwei walked up to the middle-aged teacher and smiled slightly, "Teachers, this is indeed our government's fault. How about this, let's go to the conference room to discuss it. Can't we sit down and talk about it if there is anything?"

At this time, Sun Liancheng also came down and said, "Hey, teachers, didn't we agree to hold on for another two months? How come..."

"You sound nice, Mayor Sun. My family of four depends on my salary to make ends meet. I haven't received any in the past few months. How are we going to eat? Will you cook for us?"

"That's right, don't listen to their nonsense. It's been one month, two months, and now three months, and they still haven't issued it. You must issue it today. If you don't, we will go to the county party committee and county government to make trouble."

"You guys..." Sun Liancheng was speechless and angry.

Qi Tongwei patted Sun Liancheng and said, "Mayor Sun, please stop talking."

Then he looked at the teachers who had gathered together and said, "Teachers, listen to me. Let's go inside and sit for a while and discuss it together. I promise that I will give you a satisfactory answer."

"A satisfactory answer?"

A female teacher snorted with disdain, "All we want is to get our salary today. Can you do that? Stop pretending here. It's disgusting."

Lin Taiping was upstairs, watching this scene through the window, and couldn't help shaking his head, "Oh, this is really a headache..."

However, he had no plan to go down. He had no way to deal with such matters, so he decided to leave it to the young cadres to solve.

"Everyone, please give us another chance. This time, I will never let you down."

Looking at Qi Tongwei's determined eyes and sincere look, the middle-aged teacher in the lead was slightly moved. "Young cadre, who are you? Can you make the decision?"

"I am Qi Tongwei, deputy secretary of the Party Committee. Don't worry, I will definitely protect your legal rights and interests."

"So young?" The teachers were a little surprised. The middle-aged teacher pulled the other teachers together to discuss. After a while, the middle-aged teacher walked to Qi Tongwei and said.

"Secretary Qi, right? I am Qian Wuhua, a teacher at Xinyue Middle School. Today is the first time I meet you, so I trust you this time. I hope you won't let us down."

"Okay, okay, Teacher Qian, thank you for your trust," Qi Tongwei took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands with him.

"Teacher Qian, let's go to the conference room to discuss this. It's not good to make a scene here."

Qian Wuhua nodded and said, "Okay."

Qi Tongwei took the teachers to the lounge to rest, and Qian Wuhua, as a teacher representative, followed Sun Liancheng to the meeting room.

After Qi Tongwei settled the teachers, he immediately rushed to the meeting room.

Qi Tongwei originally wanted to ask Lin Taiping to participate, but thinking of his stubborn character, he gave up.
