After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Faced with the sudden question and the silent atmosphere, Director Qiao felt flustered and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

She quickly glanced around and then looked at Section Chief Fang, hoping to get some clues or support from her, but Section Chief Fang lowered his head, obviously not understanding the situation.

Although Wang Xin wanted to help, he had only been in the Comprehensive Department for a short time and did not understand the situation, so he could only remain silent.

Seeing this, Secretary Xu's face gradually became gloomy, and his eyes revealed dissatisfaction and disappointment.

The secretary of the Economic Development Zone Party Committee was even more anxious and embarrassed. He had originally thought that the Finance Bureau would be the smoothest stop, but he did not expect that he would get stuck on such a small issue. He looked at Director Qiao with a look of disappointment, and his satisfaction with Director Qiao's work turned into blame.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense, and the air in the General Affairs Office seemed to freeze. Director Qiao knew that she had to break the deadlock as soon as possible, so she took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then said, "Secretary Xu, I can't give a detailed answer to the reason for the large difference in Taoli Township's budget. This is my negligence in my work."

Li Jiawei was also very panicked at this time, feeling unprecedented pressure, her heartbeat accelerated, and sweat oozed from her palms. She wished that time could go back, why did she have to compile this form when Secretary Xu was here?

Meanwhile, she tried to keep her mind clear during this tense moment, sorting out background information about Taoli Township's budget increase.

Secretary Xu sighed, his expression looking very unhappy. A township had greatly increased its budget, but the Finance Bureau of the Economic Development Zone, as the superior approval authority, was totally unaware of the reason. When did it become so easy to apply for money from the national treasury?

Then, Secretary Xu's eyes fell on Li Jiawei. "You compiled this form. You tell me."

Li Jiawei wanted to lick her dry lips, but seeing that all the leaders were looking at her, she held back, took a deep breath, and tried to answer in a steady tone, "Secretary Xu, regarding the increase in Taoli Township's budget in the past two years, it is mainly because Taoli Township has achieved remarkable results in economic development and rural tourism in recent years, and the economic development speed is relatively fast, so the corresponding budget demand has also increased. At the same time, we also noticed that Taoli Township has invested a lot in infrastructure construction and social development, which is also an important reason for the budget increase."

Secretary Xu then looked at Li Jiawei seriously. In such an environment, her language organization and logic skills were still online, which was very good. He further asked, "What is the economic development of Taoli Township? And what is the infrastructure construction?"

Li Jiawei went on to explain that “Xishi has made remarkable achievements in building a tourism and cultural city in recent years, and Taoli Township has become a shining pearl in the construction of a tourism and cultural city in our city with its rich natural resources and unique geographical location.”

Li Jiawei paused for a moment, then continued, "In response to the strategic deployment of Xishi, Taoli Township has increased its investment in infrastructure construction, including road repairs, scenic area development, and the improvement of supporting facilities such as accommodation and catering, which have directly led to an increase in the budget. At the same time, in order to improve the quality of tourism services, Taoli Township has also strengthened personnel training and introduced advanced tourism management concepts and technologies, which have provided tourists with a more comfortable and convenient travel experience and further enhanced the popularity and influence of Taoli Township's tourism brand."

Today, Taoli Township has become a tourist hotspot that has attracted attention in Xishi and even the whole country, attracting an endless stream of tourists for sightseeing, leisure and vacation, which has greatly promoted the economic prosperity of Taoli Township.

And with the completion of several large resorts and amusement parks, Taoli Township is not only prosperous, but also has created many employment opportunities, prompting many villagers who once worked away from home to return home and seek new employment opportunities at home.

This population return phenomenon has directly led to a surge in the number of preschool children, and the existing kindergarten resources have quickly become stretched.

To this end, Taoli Township has actively responded and has built more than ten kindergartens in the past two years to ensure that every child of school age can enjoy a good educational environment. The construction funds for kindergartens account for the majority of Taoli Township's increased budget.

After Li Jiawei finished her report, the meeting room fell silent and she let out a breath.

After hearing this, Secretary Xu was very satisfied. He nodded in approval and asked further, "Do you have a grasp of the specific operation of these newly put into use kindergartens?"

"Secretary Xu, Taoli Township has opened a total of 12 kindergartens in the past two years. Each kindergarten meets the growth needs of approximately 200 registered children in small, medium and large classes every year." Li Jiawei's answer was clear and specific.

Hearing this, Secretary Xu turned to the district party secretary next to him and praised with a smile, "This comrade has done solid work and deserves praise." Then, he turned to Li Jiawei and asked gently, "What's your name?"

"Secretary, my name is Li Jiawei." She said in a firm voice.

"How long have you been working in the Finance Bureau?" Secretary Xu continued to ask.

"Report to the secretary, I have been working here for eight years."

Secretary Xu nodded again to express his affirmation, then said just one word "OK" and led the group to leave the General Affairs Section office with satisfaction.

As Secretary Xu and his group left, Li Jiawei seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden. Her legs softened and she fell back into her chair involuntarily. She quickly grabbed the water cup on the table and drank it all in one gulp to calm her heart, which was beating wildly due to nervousness.

Seeing this, Wang Xin quickly came closer, gave her a thumbs up, and praised her sincerely, "Sister Li, you are amazing!"

Li Jiawei smiled and waved her hand, saying "thank you" but in fact, there was a barely perceptible sense of pride and joy in her heart.

She patted her chest and said self-deprecatingly, "I was really scared just now."

On the other side, Director Qiao said goodbye to Secretary Xu and stood in front of the gate of the Finance Bureau, watching the motorcade go farther and farther away until the last car disappeared around the bend. At that moment, the smile on her face instantly faded, replaced by a deep and serious expression.

Director Qiao turned around and left decisively without even looking at the different expressions of his subordinates around him.

Director Qiao deeply felt that today was the darkest day in her career. If Secretary Xu had not come to the Economic Development Zone for research and included the Economic Development Zone Finance Bureau as one of the research itineraries, with her current position, she would hardly have the honor of reporting to Secretary Xu directly on weekdays.

She had intended to take advantage of this rare opportunity to shine on this stage, or at least leave a deep impression on Secretary Xu. However, something went wrong at the critical moment, and all her beautiful visions came to nothing.
