Just as He Hongmei was about to release the recording out of spite, Qin Chizian stopped her.
Qin Chizian stood at the microphone below and said, "I believe it is quite an achievement that the First Wenyuan Art Festival was successfully held. Although there were some oversights and unexpected events along the way, I personally think it turned out well overall! As for the two matters mentioned by Deputy County Magistrate Wu and Director Chen regarding me, I don't think we need to take up so much time discussing them, do we? Deputy County Magistrate Wu, Director Chen, what are your thoughts?"
Chen Caihong simply said something vague: "Thank you, Director Qin!"
Wu Youshun's face flushed red and then pale; after a long pause, he finally spoke, "Regardless of what happened in between, the final outcome is good. I believe we can skip discussing this matter further. I have also reflected on it seriously and think that Comrade Qin Chizian's overall work during the art festival deserves full recognition!"
In fact, someone had already reported the details of these two matters to Li Honghai and Gau Songshan, but both remained silent. One reason was that Qin Chizian's rank was too low for them to bother defending him against someone of a higher position. Another reason was that Qin Chizian's performance was too outstanding, and there were no clear signs of him taking sides...
At Peng Guoan's suggestion, Qin Chizian was added to the commendation list.
The next topic turned to finances.
Li Hong called out Wan Hongcai: "Secretary Wan, please report on the income and expenditure of this art festival. Everyone, including myself, is looking forward to it!"
Wan Hongcai opened his documents: "Secretary Li, County Magistrate Gao, let me first talk about our income. We have three main sources: first is Advertising Sponsorship; the other two are conference fees and booth rental fees. The total income from Advertising Sponsorship is 22.05 million yuan, while booth and conference fees amount to 2.05 million yuan."
Many people gasped in amazement: This is impressive!
After discussing income, he moved on to expenditures: "The total expenditure for booth service fees, hotel accommodation fees, transportation fees, and hospitality expenses is approximately 1.68 million yuan. We saved about 370,000 yuan in conference expenses; the expenditures for Advertising Sponsorship included rental fees, design and production costs, installation fees, etc., totaling 4.03 million yuan. Additionally, performance costs were 3.07 million yuan; venue setup and personnel reception costs were 730,000 yuan; subsidies for various positions amounted to 210,000 yuan; other miscellaneous expenses totaled 510,000 yuan; specifically listed Hunjang River Bridge expenses were 2.5 million yuan; advertising broadcast fees paid to Central Bank amounted to 1.17 million yuan; leaving us with a total surplus of just over 11 million yuan..."
Summing it all up, although the balance wasn't enough to invest in a cement factory, both our wild vegetable factory and rattan weaving business made profits and can basically sustain themselves."
Wu Youshun glanced at Li Honghai and spoke first: "That's right, Secretary Wan. The development of Wendong Mountain hasn't even been approved yet? Please transfer 3 million yuan to county finances first so that the county can manage its emergency needs and get through this year! Once the holiday is over and the transfer payment funds arrive from above, we will send it back to you!"
Li Honghai and Gau Songshan also turned their attention toward him.
—Kid, dare you not agree?
Unexpectedly, Wan Hongcai responded firmly: "Deputy County Magistrate Wu is being too harsh. Baliushu has achieved some results over the past year; besides our comrades' hard work, it is inseparable from the county's support.
We held a meeting in our village and recognized that as we develop further, many issues need to be addressed promptly. We discussed three points:
First, the construction of Hun River Bridge should be prioritized now; second, we ask the county to expedite the project approval process for Wendong Mountain; thirdly, we express our gratitude for the county's support. We have arranged for our finance personnel to issue a transfer check for 3.2 million yuan—of which 200,000 yuan is from the wild vegetable factory's first-year contribution.
The remaining 3 million does not need to be returned by the county to Baliushu!"
