"Comrade Cheng Yi, tell me a little bit about the situation in Zhouxi City. I don't know much about it just now!"
Feng Yuxing said with a smile,
"Also, the Standing Committee vote this morning resulted in a huge 11:2 split. Now our Zhouxi Municipal Party Committee Secretary is feeling a bit embarrassed. Aren't you afraid he'll make things difficult for you?"
"Mayor Feng, you're worrying too much about this. If you don't support his ideas, you risk getting into trouble. But if you support him, you'll also get into trouble. It's all the same!" Cheng Yi said casually.
"Oh! What's the story here? I don't think Secretary Huan is that kind of person!" Feng Yuxing's purpose in saying this was to stimulate Cheng Yi to talk.
"Mayor, I'm not afraid that you will say that I'm gossiping about my comrades behind their backs! Anyway, I'm about to retire." Cheng Yi said in a disdainful tone.
"Who else can he trust except Comrade Yi Gurong? Comrade Gurong is also willing to be driven by him, constantly making trouble and making the city government restless.
As for the mayoral candidate, he strongly supports Yi Guyong for the position of mayor! He continued,
"The Standing Committee members aren't afraid of Secretary Huan. The pressure comes from Deputy Governor and Police Chief Ling Butong. As for the 11:2 disparity in the ratio this time, it's because of you!"
"Oh! I've only been here for three days, how come you're involved with me? Governor Bu Tong wouldn't interfere in the specific affairs of our Zhouxi City, would he?"
Although I have some understanding of wind and movement, it is not comprehensive, and I have to ask questions even though I know the answer.
Deep down, he longs to know more, especially the unknown stories and secrets hidden beneath the surface of Zhouxi City.
"Some members of the Standing Committee may not have pure intentions. As you saw during the Standing Committee discussion this morning, half of them supported Yi Guyong's proposal.
As for the change of direction during the vote, I think there are two reasons:
First, it is related to the story you told about Comrade Zhu Yonghao, and second, they want you to take the lead in overturning Huan Tongmin's desk!
To be honest, you just said that Governor Bu Tong would not interfere in the affairs of Zhouxi City. This is too traditional.
During major events, or when they want the desired outcome and are afraid of unexpected events, they often appear at the Standing Committee meetings, "sitting with the governor and observing" on the scene!
After Cheng Yi finished speaking, his face was filled with depression.
"Then why didn't Governor Bu Tong attend this Standing Committee meeting? Also, why did Comrade Gu Rong insist on reassigning Comrades Yonghao and Mingquan?"
The wind and the jargon speak very intentionally or unintentionally.
"Mayor, this is also the reason why Secretary Huan was able to defeat the Standing Committee's record 11:2 this morning. It's because of the memory loop! The Standing Committee members just wanted to see if Governor Bu Tong is afraid of you, the mayor!"
Cheng Yi said indignantly,
"They desperately tried to pull down Comrades Zhu Yonghao and Wang Mingquan in order to conceal the fact that Gai Yigurong had been acting recklessly as the county magistrate and county party secretary of Chunjiang County, causing a huge fiscal deficit in Chunjiang County!
Seeing that these two comrades were almost filling the huge deficit, he wanted to replace them with his own people to wipe out all traces of these things for them.
In addition, they believe that Yi Gurong was unable to become mayor because of the complaints made by Yonghao and Mingquan to the higher authorities!"
"Are you in a hurry to erase the previous fiscal deficit? Are you burning bridges and cutting off the financial resources? It seems those huge fiscal deficits are a big problem!"
Feng Yuxing had a faint smile on his face, but his heart seemed extremely calm. He did not respond to Cheng Yi's words immediately, but slowly sorted out his thoughts.
His fingers tapped gently on the armrest of the sofa, and the tapping sound, accompanied by his thoughts, surged in his mind like a storm, like the stars twinkling in the night sky, each of which seemed to carry his responsibilities and dreams.
His brain was working at high speed, trying to sort out his chaotic thoughts and find some things hidden beneath the layers of appearances, so that he could quickly get into the role of Mayor Zhou Xi.
"By the way! What are the styles of the two big bosses, Secretary Xiao of the Provincial Party Committee and Governor Huang? Are they harmonious?"
Feng Yuxing did not continue to discuss what Cheng Yi had just said, but changed the subject.
"There are no obvious contradictions, at least not on the surface. Their relationship is harmonious and stable.
Both bosses appear exceptionally gentle in their decision-making and actions, and always seem to maintain a delicate balance.
The reason they can live together so harmoniously is because there is a balance in the distribution of power, not because of their trust and support for each other.
For example, during a personnel adjustment, if your person takes up a position, then the other position should belong to my person!"
. . . . . .
Office of the Provincial Party Secretary.
Two people were drinking tea, the provincial party secretary, Chan Hairuo, and the provincial party secretary-general, Lin Guotang.
Lin Guotang's expression was different from usual. He was neither happy nor sad, nor was he calm. Instead, his face had various expressions and kept switching.
"Comrade Guotang, looking at your expression, it seems like something happened!" Xiao Hairuo looked at Lin Guotang's expression and said with a smile.
"There is something, I don't know if you know about it, it's about the Zhouxi Municipal Party Committee holding a standing committee meeting this morning!"
Lin Guotang had a strange expression when he spoke.
"I don't really know what you're talking about. But Feng Yuxing, that brat, just took office as the new mayor of Zhouxi, and right after that, he convened a meeting of the city committee standing committee, which is full of familiar faces. Isn't that the most natural thing to do?"
As Xiao Ruohai spoke, he showed a hint of curiosity and confusion, but he didn't take it too seriously.
"It was normal. I heard that at the end of the familiar face meeting, Deputy Mayor Yi Gurong proposed to discuss the adjustment of Chunjiang County Party Secretary Zhu Yonghao and County Magistrate Wang Mingquan. Of course, this proposal was supported by Comrade Huan Tongmin, the Municipal Party Secretary.
The new mayor, Feng Yuxing, held opposing views, and when the standing committee voted, their vote share broke the record for Zhouxi City!
Lin Guotang looked at Xiao Hairuo and smiled, but his smile was still a little awkward.
"What record-breaking law? It's not uncommon for a new mayor to overturn the desk of the municipal party secretary!"
Xiao Hairuo said with a smile that Lin Guotang's words did not cause him much doubt.
"It's not as simple as the city party secretary losing to a mayor. It's a matter of 11 votes against and 2 votes in favor, completely defeating the 2 votes in favor! Sigh, now anything that follows the new mayor's lead is news!"
Lin Guotang looked at Xiao Hairuo and said with a smile.
"Huh! The table was overturned so easily by the mayor who has only been here for three days? Comrade Bu Tong didn't go to put the brakes on the situation?" Xiao Hairuo said disdainfully.
"Comrade Bu Tong didn't go. I guess he thinks the new mayor is not easy to deal with!" Lin Guotang said with a smile.
"Secretary, you all know that Comrade Bu likes to meddle in the affairs of Zhouxi City. Why don't you remind him?"
