Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 1869 Is this your conscientious meal?
Not only are the dishes expensive, but there is not a speck of oil to be found, and the soup is so bland that flies are too lazy to even flutter around.

"Is this the nutritious lunch you give to students? What did I ask for in the first place?"

Facing several school leaders, cafeteria leaders, and several leaders in charge of education, Qiu Haitang questioned the group of people in a deep voice while holding his bowl and chewing the rice he had just eaten. Dozens of mobile phones were filming around him.

"Secretary, let's talk in the office..."

The principal also felt very aggrieved. He pushed his glasses and looked at the people around him who had higher positions than him.

Looking at the schools outside, they all felt depressed.

The money for the renovation of the entire school was found by Qiu Haitang. The construction of various hardware facilities and the recruitment of teachers were all initiated by Qiu Haitang. Even the cafeteria in front of us was funded by Qiu Haitang.

Now this rice...

"Okay, I'll see what you can come up with. If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, you all resign. Our county has no shortage of elites, and even less of cadres who can do practical things for the people."

"Go to the county supermarket to buy me rice and vegetables, and cook again. Dinner will be served an hour later today. I, Qiu Haitang, will spend my own money to buy two pigs, and they will be slaughtered in the yard. We will all watch."

Facing the group of people in front of him, Qiu Haitang directly took out his bank card and handed it to his secretary, who immediately went to process it.

"it is good……"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

The students surrounding them shouted in unison, and the cadres felt unhappy.

The school's management was extremely busy at this moment. Many people had never seen such a scene before. There was only one key high school in the county, and all the teachers were now waiting for the school's explanation.

"Sister Haitang, that's the teachers' cafeteria!"

Before Qiu Haitang could move, a voice suddenly came from outside the crowd. Qiu Haitang was stunned, and when he looked again, the voice was gone.

"Where is the cafeteria?"

Looking at the group of managers in front of him, Qiu Haitang's eyebrows stood up.

"There's a side door over there!"

This time, a group of students gave Qiu Haitang directions, and it was too late for the faculty and staff to stop them.

Qiu Haitang strode in and led his people inside. Qiu Haitang's brows were already twisted into a knot.

There are four dishes and one soup, and the rice is shiny and milky white. You can smell the fragrance of the rice from a long distance away.

"Good...good...you guys are really good! You give that to the students and eat this yourself. If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, we're not done!"

Carefully checking each dish, Qiu Haitang pointed at the leaders in front of him from the Academic Affairs Office to the Principal's Office. Everyone was silent at this time. The most guilty ones were the leaders in the county. They all turned their eyes away at this time. Students' mobile phones were almost against their faces to take pictures of these people. If it were in the past, someone would have snatched the phones long ago. Today, with Qiu Haitang here, everyone was exceptionally honest.

The atmosphere in the conference room was very depressing. Among the faculty and staff, only the principal and the vice-principal had a seat, and the rest stood against the wall.

"Secretary Haitang, you've been gone for four months, and the school has no funding at all. This is to raise funds for us. Manager Dou will advance the funds for the cafeteria himself. It's okay for you to make nutritious lunches."

"But the county has to have money. The finance department doesn't give us money now, so we can't recruit any. You hired all the teachers at high salaries, and now it's the end of the year, and you're asking me for salaries, subsidies, and allowances. I don't have any!"

"If students don't eat well in school, they can eat outside. But if teachers don't eat well, how can they have the energy to teach? We must first make sure the teachers have something decent to eat. If we don't give them allowances and various subsidies, and if they don't even have decent meals, how can we retain people? I have no choice! I am a school leader, and I have no objection to your punishment. But I hope you can solve everyone's salary problem. I have no objection even if you let me resign now..." The principal is also new and a relative of the county leader.

At this time, the other party had a bitter face. Before Qiu Haitang came here, everything in the school was contracted out. The canteen and other things, students paid for it themselves, Qiu Haitang brought in the policy.

The county provides various subsidies to children, from elementary school to high school.

The people were happy, but the county's finances were empty.

In order to build various projects that can generate income, Qiu Haitang borrowed money again, asked ordinary people to grow cash crops, and called on the whole county to fight a tough battle against poverty.

However, during the last four months of the year, Qiu Haitang was out of contact with the county because he was on an overseas inspection tour and under investigation.

No one knows whether Qiu Haitang will come back next. Zhang Liguang, who is temporarily in charge of the matter, cannot be said to be incompetent, but only that his ability is limited.

We can neither find the things nor help people sell their things.

Apart from anything else, there is a bumper harvest of oyster mushrooms this year, with more than 700 tons of them waiting to be sold, and the merchants who come to buy them offer 50 cents per pound.

The common people were so angry that they wanted to feed the oyster mushrooms to the pigs. The same went for other cash crops, fruits, corn...

In a day, Qiu Haitang not only accepted the complaints from teachers, but also heard the complaints from his subordinates, and then looked at the confused eyes of the people who came to the county to sell oyster mushrooms.

Merchants from other places who come to buy oyster mushrooms and various agricultural products pick and choose. The trash cans on both sides of the street are filled with agricultural products that can be sold overnight in supermarkets.

As he reached out to pick up these agricultural products from the trash can, Qiu Haitang's heart was bleeding.

"Let's eat, my Secretary Haitang. You've only been back for one day and this is happening. I regret letting you come back."

Until the evening, Qiu Haitang only drank a few sips of water.

All he saw the miserable conditions of this impoverished county the whole day, and Qiu Haitang was so anxious that he even had blisters on his mouth.

"Please help me find a solution. You have a lot of ideas. Now people are asking me for money everywhere. People are scolding me. Although they are not in front of me, I can tell from their eyes."

"If we can't sell their stuff, the county has no money. If the county has no money, we can't pay the faculty and staff... Oh, it's so annoying. I can't always go begging. The provincial finance officials treat me like a plague god when they see me. It's the end of the year now, and they can't find anyone anyway..."

Looking at the table full of food, Qiu Haitang couldn't eat at all.

After four months, so many problems have accumulated. Qiu Haitang knows that some people are laughing at him.

There will be a change of leadership soon. If it is not handled well, it will be criticized. The most important thing is that it will leave a vicious circle for the local area, and poverty will continue here.

Qiu Haitang came here with ideals and revenge, and he would not be willing to accept that the matter was not handled cleanly.

"Are you worried about losing face, my dear secretary?"

After picking up a chicken leg for Qiu Haitang, Ji Dong looked at the other person's expression and then at his phone.

"You can give me money so I can beg for food, or you can give me money, or lend it to me, and I will smile at you..."

Hearing that Ji Donglai was taking care of her, Qiu Haitang immediately acted cute.
