Chapter 1755 Public Servant Public Servant
"Leaders are coming?" Zhao Tiezhu frowned. What kind of leaders are coming? How did they meet him? Although it was a bit strange, Zhao Tiezhu did not feel embarrassed because he misunderstood the meaning of the banner.
"Yes." Bo Qingfeng looked a little embarrassed. "I received a temporary notice this morning saying that the leaders from the Finance Bureau would come to visit us kids, so I hurried to make these things."
Zhao Tiezhu said helplessly, "This banner costs about a hundred yuan, right? Alas, what a waste!"
Bo Qingfeng was helpless, but he didn't say anything.
He pushed open the door and walked in.
What appeared in front of Zhao Tiezhu was actually a red carpet!
"Is this the Oscars or some foreign guest coming?" Zhao Tiezhu asked, looking at the red carpet under his feet.
"This... is because the leaders of the Finance Bureau are coming. The snow just melted a few days ago, and the ground is a bit muddy, so the street office let them lay a red carpet. In this way, it can block the muddy ground and prevent the leaders' shoes from getting dirty, and it can also show our welcome to the leaders." Bo Qingfeng explained.
"Humph, formalism!" Zhao Tiezhu said dissatisfiedly, "This red carpet will cost several hundred yuan, right? The total is half a thousand. If this money is used for the children, how much can we buy?"
"This... this is a requirement. We have to do it even if we don't want to!" Bo Qingfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said awkwardly.
Zhao Tiezhu led the girls to the front of the welfare house on the red carpet. Zhao Tiezhu didn't plan to walk on the red carpet, but unfortunately, there was only one road leading directly to the door of the welfare house building, so Zhao Tiezhu could only endure the baptism of formalism. Behind Zhao Tiezhu were several younger brothers from the Blood Soul Hall. On the one hand, these people were responsible for protecting Zhao Tiezhu, and on the other hand, they were also here to do hard labor. It's impossible for Zhao Tiezhu and Su Yanni, Li Ling'er, Cao Ziyi and others to carry all the five big bags, right?
This is the meaning of being a younger brother, helping the boss do things that the boss is not convenient to do!
However, what surprised Zhao Tiezhu was that the whole welfare house was decorated with lights and red flags. The radio was playing some songs such as "La La La La La I am a little newspaper seller". Then a group of children, about fifty or so, all lined up and stood naked in front of the welfare house building. On both sides of the red carpet next to the building, there were two groups of people standing. There were about twenty people in these two groups, more than ten on each side, and they were wearing waist drums. When they saw Zhao Tiezhu and others coming, they immediately started fighting.
"What are you doing? "Zhao Tiezhu turned around and asked Bo Qingfeng.
"This... this is to welcome the leader." Bo Qingfeng said, "This is the waist drum team we set up in our courtyard."
Looking at the children who were only wearing waist drum clothes and shivering in the cold wind, Zhao Tiezhu said angrily, "It's so cold, the leader hasn't come yet, what kind of leader are we welcoming, go back and put on your clothes!"
"This... it's almost noon now, I don't know when the leader will come, if the leader comes during the break, he will be unhappy if he sees us!" Bo Qingfeng explained.
"What kind of leader is this? Which leader is so grand that he has to make children wait? What kind of leader is this? Damn it, go back to the building. Although the sun is out today, the temperature outside is only a little above zero degrees. Look at these children, which one is not shivering? Damn it, formalism kills people like this, go in, I will take responsibility for anything." Zhao Tiezhu said to Bo Qingfeng.
"This..." Bo Qingfeng hesitated and said, "If we displease the leaders of the Finance Bureau, our financial allocation this year may be blocked again."
"I just want to say one thing." Zhao Tiezhu said, "Go back, these are all children. Don't say they are children. Try to wear a piece of clothing and occupy this place for ten minutes. I will bear the consequences. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Perhaps he was intimidated by Zhao Tiezhu's momentum. After hesitating for a while, Bo Qingfeng called over a teacher from the welfare home and gave a few instructions.
The teacher shouted a few words, and the children playing waist drums walked into the welfare home building with the people who lined up at the door to welcome the leaders.
"Also, take down all these red flags and red carpets." Zhao Tiezhu said, "If you don't even know how to walk on a muddy road, how can you be a public servant of the people?"
"This..." Bo Qingfeng was a little dissatisfied. Although the man in front of him came to donate things to do good deeds, this welfare home is his welfare home. He gave him face and let the children go first, but now this man even asked to take down the red carpet. Does he really think he is the boss?
However, before Bo Qingfeng had time to speak, Zhao Tiezhu said, "Besides the street office, who else asked you to do these things?"
"This...someone from the Finance Bureau had already come down to arrange it!" Bo Qingfeng explained, "These are all normal procedures to show respect for the leaders. This is the case all over the country!"
"Humph, the people's public servants, the people's public servants, have been shouted for decades, and now it's good, they are all the masters of Chengrenmin, good! Xiaofei, take down all these things for me."
"I got it, Brother Zhao." An elite member of the Blood Soul Hall who was holding something behind Zhao Tiezhu nodded and said.
"Oh, this can't be done!" Bo Qingfeng said anxiously, "If we don't even have basic respect, we...if we don't get financial allocation this year, we'll be doomed!"
"If you can't get it, I'll give it!" Zhao Tiezhu glared at Bo Qingfeng and said, "Since I have people do it, I'm not afraid of trouble, you know?"
After saying that, Zhao Tiezhu ignored Bo Qingfeng who looked anxious and walked directly into the welfare home. And Xiao Fei and a few people started to pack up the carpets, red flags and so on.
"Why do people nowadays like formalism so much?" Su Yanni asked doubtfully, "Whenever a leader appears, he will be surrounded by people from both sides, shouting slogans and waving red flags. Is it possible that this can really be achieved? Does it give people a sense of pleasure?”
"This is really possible!" Zhao Tiezhu said with a smile, "These things seem to us to be false, but in the eyes of many officials, such false things are sometimes more important than money, because of this It will make them feel superior to everyone, just like the officials in ancient times avoided silence when they went out. The word "public servant" has long existed in name only in many places in China. "
