Feng Yuxing's words were quite arrogant in the officialdom. If Xiyun, the two top leaders of the party and government, had not been there, he would probably have been interrupted before he could finish his words.
The silence of Municipal Party Secretary Yan Baiyang and Mayor Qiu Shangnan signified their tacit approval, or perhaps even support. They could band together for warmth, but if they truly antagonized these two top Party and government officials and eliminated the element of stability, they would be in dire straits.
"Comrade Yuxing, you are acting recklessly. You have no evidence or proof. How can you arrest people? Do you have any rules? Xiyun City is not a place for you to mess around." Deputy Secretary Nan Guoyuan directly scolded Feng Yuxing in a stern voice, and he was full of firepower at once.
"Secretary Guoyuan, I don't understand what you're saying. Have I violated any law? Producing products that are harmful to the human body is a crime. You must know that!"
Feng Yuxing smiled and said, "If the top leader of the Lingjiang County Party and government dares to fabricate facts to deceive the two top leaders of our city's Party and government, this won't just be a matter of suspension, but immediate dismissal, pending further investigation!"
"Then do you know that if Xiyun City suddenly confronts these powerful forces in the provincial capital, you have to think about it, can Xiyun City withstand it? You must understand the overall situation and strive to properly handle major emergencies!"
For a veteran politician like Deputy Secretary Nan Guoyuan, it is not appropriate for him to lose his composure like this, but he suddenly exploded like lit gunpowder.
Everyone was stunned by Deputy Secretary Nan Guoyuan's attitude! After working with him for so many years, they had never seen Nan Guoyuan so emotional.
Only then did they realize that his so-called in-depth discussion was just nonsense.
"Secretary Guo Yuan, you're right. I'm just going after the big forces in the provincial capital! If there weren't the shadows of these big forces in the provincial capital involved, I really wouldn't bother to take action! Do you understand?"
Feng and Xing also began to confront each other, with no intention of backing down.
"Comrades, you are also veteran Party members and politicians, with deep qualifications and rich experience. You should be someone I look up to.
According to common sense, your vision should be broader than that of ordinary people. When thinking about problems, you should be able to transcend your own position and have a better insight into the essence of things.
Relatively speaking, they should stand higher and see wider than me, but from beginning to end, I found an indisputable fact:
Despite your extraordinary achievements and qualifications, you do not seem to have taken the Party’s fundamental purpose - to serve the people wholeheartedly - as the highest principle to guide and measure your decisions and actions.
It’s more about how to protect yourself! I deeply regret it.”
The hat of wind and travel is high and heavy, and it looks like it can knock down a whole boat of people with one stick.
In fact, he didn't want to use such a hurtful way of expression. However, Nan Guoyuan opened his mouth and directly exaggerated the whole situation, with the intention of making him take the blame if anything went wrong.
His words also served to dissuade others from speaking out in support of Nan Guo Yuan. Duan Wu, Yuan Shumeng, and Song Jiajia would certainly remain silent. The most likely person to speak out in support of Nan Guo Yuan would be Executive Vice Mayor Xia Jiang.
Of course, he wasn't afraid of the other members of the Standing Committee attacking him. He simply preferred not to make too many enemies, to avoid unnecessary trouble and disputes. After all, everyone would see each other again.
After all, a person's energy is always limited. Instead of dispersing energy to fight with colleagues, it is better to spend more energy on seeking welfare for the people. Otherwise, it is a waste of resources.
No one can stop him from doing what he wants to do now, including the municipal party secretary Yan Baiyang and the mayor Qiu Shangnan, but these two people will not oppose him.
The Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Xing Pengming and the Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary Lu Da were both in their fifties, just like the others. However, they still had integrity and would not stand up against him, let alone strenuously oppose what he did.
"Comrade Yuxing, the Xiyun Municipal Party Committee is the party's decision-making body, not your backyard where you can do whatever you want! Even the secretary and the mayor cannot do this.
"It's only when we discuss it in the Standing Committee and everyone's thoughts are unified that we can embody the Party's principles! It's only when we embody our collective wisdom! The general direction won't deviate!"
The person who spoke was Executive Vice Mayor Xia Jiang. Perhaps he had betrayed the city and could only move forward and retreat together with Nan Guoyuan. It was also possible that he had his own interests to consider.
Xia Jiang's voice was not as excited as Nan Guoyuan's, but it was also a hat-covering expression; of course, the one who was speaking now had nothing to do with harmony, as soon as he opened his mouth he was putting the hat in the direction, and the same went for Feng and Xing, he must never suffer any loss with his mouth.
At this point, Municipal Party Secretary Yan Baiyang and Mayor Qiu Shangnan couldn't intervene and could only study the molecular structure of tea. The two of them would stare at each other from time to time, sometimes smiling knowingly, sometimes with a bitter expression.
They had only one thought in their minds, "The Xiyun Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee has already dealt with this kid!"
"Mayor Xia Jiang, you said the Standing Committee isn't my backyard, which is correct, but what about you? You've been making a fuss about a disciplinary violation and a criminal offense, and there's no conclusion yet!
Think about it with your conscience. Even a company that harms people is worried about gains and losses. Where is your courage? Where is your party spirit? Where is the oath you swore when you joined the party?
Where is it? If our Standing Committee is not discussing people's livelihood issues, then what is the meaning of its existence?"
Feng Yuxing was also breaking down at this time. He did not consider how many enemies he had made, but he had to show his determination to fight the Standing Committee in order to make these members change their previous wrangling tactics.
Of course, Feng Yuxing did not name anyone, but this move undoubtedly touched the sensitive strings in the hearts of many members of the Standing Committee.
They frowned frequently during the meeting, their eyes revealing their worries and dissatisfaction about the matter, and it was obvious that they held different views and attitudes towards the matter.
When everyone saw that the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Yan Baiyang and Mayor Qiu Shangnan did not say anything to stop them, neither Feng Yuxing, Deputy Secretary Nan Guoyuan, nor Executive Vice Mayor Xia Jiang, those who had initially opposed the Discipline Inspection Committee Secretary Xing Pengming began to stir.
"Comrade Yuxing, you just said it, and it's not wrong. Any of the Standing Committee members here has more qualifications and experience than you!
It's true that speaking at the Standing Committee requires freedom of expression, but your arbitrary and dictatorial approach is ill-considered. Furthermore, your level and qualifications don't justify such behavior.
United Front Work Department Minister Ran Fan spoke in a relatively mild tone. After all, they were in a Standing Committee meeting, not swearing on the street. However, his meaning was not friendly. It was obvious that he stood on the side of Deputy Secretary Nan Guoyuan.
