On April 25, 1951, the Beiguan Assembly elected Scott Stewart as the new chief member of the Beiguan Municipal Committee, elected Meng Dezhu as a member of the Beiguan Municipal Committee, and elected Councilor Lu Qianxing as the deputy speaker of the Beiguan Assembly.
The day before, the Donghai Council had announced that Lu Qianxing would be a replacement member of the Donghai District Council.
……
The Donghai Parliament Building is located in Xinhu District, not far from Donghai City Hall, the High Court and other institutions. Most administrative agencies are located in the Changning Road neighborhood of Xinhu District.
There are basically no tall buildings in the neighborhoods near Cheung Ning Road to highlight the grandeur of administrative buildings such as the Parliament Building, High Court, and City Hall.
On the eastern section of Changning Road, there is a row of ancient Bavarian-style buildings, all with three or four floors.
At this time, Lu Ming was in one of the buildings, and the house number was No. 7, Changning Road East.
The three-story Bavarian long building has creaking wooden stairs inside. The two building entrances are connected inside. There are 24 rooms on the three floors. The area is not large, about fifty or sixty square meters.
Most of the people renting here are administrative agency clerks, not just Building 7 where Lu Ming is located. In fact, this row of Bavarian-style buildings are all for rent, and the tenants are almost all nearby administrative agencies. Low-level officials and clerks at work.
Room 207, Building 7, was the residence chosen by Lu Ming on Changning Road. From now on, he would naturally stay here at night for council meetings. There was no need to get up early as it would be too late.
The East China Sea Council meets once a week, usually on Tuesday.
It is much more frequent than the Beiguan Council meetings, which are held once a month, and the Donghai District Council meetings, which is equal to five times a month.
Of course, in fact, it is common for members to be absent from meetings.
According to the parliamentary charter, those who fail to attend meetings for three consecutive months without a reasonable explanation without the consent of the speaker will lose their membership qualifications.
That is, if you are absent without saying hello, and then without explaining, just don't come, there is no reason, then you will have to miss fifteen consecutive parliamentary meetings before you will be severely punished.
This also shows that the management of members is loose. After all, they are all representatives of public opinion. I believe that no member will not come to meetings just to erase their sense of non-existence after being elected.
Lu Ming felt that if he could catch up, he would definitely come. If he couldn't, there was nothing he could do. He could just report to the Speaker's office in advance.
After all, as a representative of public opinion, conducting field research and the like is part of normal work.
However, the place for food and accommodation must be prepared first.
There are no high-rise buildings here. If you want to live in a luxury apartment, you will be far away from the Parliament Building, which will lose the meaning of your original search for a place to stay.
Fortunately, Building 7 in the east section of Changning is my own property.
To be precise, it was one of the many properties left to Jennifer by old Reno.
The 24 rooms have always been rented out and are fully occupied, but recently 207 happened to be vacant.
Lu Ming hurriedly took over. He took a look today and found that the environment was not bad. He planned to call someone to paint and decorate it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
I talked about some of my ideas and what style of decoration I like.
Duan Guiyang next to him took a notebook and quickly wrote it down.
He also said, "Boss, the office in Jindiao Building will be listed tomorrow."
The council member’s office in Beiguan should not just be oriented to the third district, but should be able to listen to the voices of all the citizens of Beiguan. After all, in the future, they will represent all the citizens of Beiguan and speak in the Donghai District Council.
So, after going round and round for a new office, I chose Jindiao Building, the place where my dream in Beiguan began.
As for the rent of the office, there is a special fund subsidy.
The Donghai District Councilor and the Beiguan Councilor seem to be only one level apart, but the difference is huge.
The monthly remuneration for a regional council member is as high as 1,000 yuan, which is ten times the monthly salary of an ordinary white-collar worker in Donghai.
In addition, the opening of an office, communication expenses, and office operating expenses total 29,800 yuan per year. Entertainment and transportation subsidies are 2,000 yuan per year, and there are various other subsidies.
In other words, the annual financial allocation for each council member is about 50,000 yuan.
It is naturally drizzle to rent a house here, and the annual rent is only 300 yuan.
But for these administrative staff, although there is a small subsidy for renting a house here, it is still a big expense.
Because usually, many of these administrative clerks, especially men, are women who stay at home and take care of the housework, while men go out to work.
After all, the more people work in this kind of administrative agency, the more they need to save face. According to traditional thinking, if the wife still wants to go out to work, it means the husband is incompetent.
Their annual salary is usually between 1,000 yuan and 1,500 yuan, and rent accounts for a large proportion.
If you have two jobs, there will be no pressure.
But the residents who rent here, whether they are husbands or wives, are well-dressed and maintain a decent life. For example, every household has a TV.
"Boss, we made an appointment at noon to have dinner with Commissioner Meng Dezhu at the tower restaurant." Duan Guiyuan looked at the schedule and added.
Lu Ming nodded. Meng Dezhu insisted on inviting him to dinner alone, and he didn't know what it meant.
He should have heard about it, and it was because of his strong recommendation that he achieved the good results he has today.
He has always had little sense of presence. Not to mention in the entire Beiguan Assembly, even among the members of the Ecumenical Party and the Alliance Party, he has always been inconspicuous.
But he is not without dreams.
When Mr. Qing made it clear that he would no longer participate in the current municipal committee competition, Meng Dezhu also had a burning flame in his heart.
I even made an appointment with my five brothers to raise money for a try.
But he didn’t say it himself. After all, he was not very close to him at that time, and he had no intention of entering politics.
At that time, Fourth Brother Wen and others actually regarded him as a joke and thought he was wishful thinking, and no one was willing to spend real money to support his election.
When he suddenly emerged, he stopped thinking about it and followed him honestly. After all, he was an old friend, hoping to get more credit.
And he never imagined that suddenly, his dream would come true and he would become a member of the city committee.
It is said that on the day he heard the news, he cried and laughed, and was still drinking and tossing around in the middle of the night. It was good that he didn't go crazy.
Probably, this is how Fan Jin passed the exam.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming smiled at Duan Guiyuan: "Then let's go and take the subway there. I've heard that citizens have complained a lot about the current subway, so I just want to go and take a look."
The world's first subway appeared in Donghai, a century ago.
Donghai also has a subway network extending in all directions. More than 20 years ago, the Donghai subway connected satellite towns for the first time, that is, the Beiguan Line. Later, it continued one after another. By a few years ago, all satellite towns were connected. subway.
Listening to Lu Ming's words, Duan Guiyuan naturally did not object. He picked up the walkie-talkie and informed the vehicles below to leave first and save two people.
