"Mayor, this matter has its reasons. You've already made the arrangements, so let's wait and see. Besides, this is a matter for the municipal government. If the municipal party committee's cooperation is required, then the municipal party committee is obliged to do so!"

Huan Tongmin spoke magnanimously and in compliance with regulations, and was very generous in his words. He delegated power to the mayor, or rather, he had great trust in the mayor's style and behavior.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that he wants to distance himself from this matter and doesn't want to get involved in it.

If there were an outsider here, they would find it incredible; after all, ever since Feng Yuxing came to Yuanxi to serve as the mayor of Zhouxi, the two of them have not gotten along well.

Feng Yuxing was a little surprised at this time, but it was also within his expectations.

The officialdom is like a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder, but it is also like a theater. Especially when two people communicate with each other, if there is no mutual trust, then they have to act, and see who acts more logically, regardless of whether it is reasonable or not.

Feng Yuxing is a little young, but he is a provincial-level cadre after all. Wind is an invisible entity, but the sound of the wind can still be heard.

"Secretary, you are 'wearing a thousand flowers on the ground, but not getting a single drop of them on you'! There are some things that I may not be able to handle alone. Even if there is no external interference, you have to help with our democratic opinions!" Feng Yuxing said half-jokingly.

He lowered his posture a little to see Huan Tongmin's reaction. After all, he didn't see any ill intentions from him after chatting with him, so it was okay to lower his posture appropriately.

"Mayor! You and I both know that once local officials like us join the municipal party committee, our influence and power will naturally increase.

In such an important position, cadres who can stick to their original aspirations, adhere to principles, and not be swayed by personal interests are rare.

Each of them has unique ideas, different positions and pursuits, so it is often difficult to reach a consensus when making decisions, let alone achieve effective collective action.

In this situation, the tendency to protect one's own interests becomes a force that cannot be ignored, causing even the best ideas to often encounter resistance during implementation.

You've seen the situation at our first Standing Committee meeting. If you think I can achieve your expectations, you're overestimating me!"

Huan Tongmin spoke of the reality, but he did not show his full support.

"Secretary, there's no rush for this matter. The audit won't be over soon!" Feng Yuxing also smiled, "Let's discuss something else!"

Huan Tongmin looked at Feng Yuxing's harmless face, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "This guy is definitely going to drop a bomb."

He didn't have many opportunities to interact with the industry, but as the head of a municipal party committee, he still had to have the ability to read people's expressions, which was gradually developed in the course of his political career.

At that Standing Committee meeting, and a month earlier, the two companies and their men stormed into the city government building in a menacing manner.

He noticed some unusual details.

Whenever Feng Yuxing showed that seemingly harmless, kid-next-door expression, he knew something was wrong.

It was a hidden provocation and threat, indicating that the other party might be brewing some malicious plan, which would erupt at the right time.

In short, it's just a matter of holding it back.

Something unexpected will happen next, and no one can guess what he is going to do.

"Can you hold back on that 'discussing other things'?" Huan Tongmin said jokingly with a serious face.

"No, I've already started. If I hold it back, I'll lose my breath!" Feng Yuxing looked at Huan Tongmin's expression and wanted to laugh. "Can you guess what I want to communicate with you? You can't be so calculating!"

"You're wrong about that. I can't guess, so I don't want you to say it. Otherwise, I won't be prepared at all and won't be able to reach an agreement with you. Doesn't that mean we're not working together, but just bullshit?"

After Huan Tongmin finished speaking, he hummed twice.

The conversation between the two of them at this time was quite humorous.

Huan Tongmin used a humorous way to express himself, but his implication was that Feng Yuxing's expectations should not be too high, as he might not be able to reach a consensus with him.

"Secretary, besides needing your support, this matter must also be discussed by the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. You are the helmsman of the Standing Committee, so I have to communicate with you!"

Feng Yuxing spoke with a smile, his facial expression was amiable, and his posture was just right.

In Huan Tongmin's eyes, Feng Yuxing's attitude and the smile on his face were a bit fake, which made him feel uneasy. He thought to himself, "The more 'cute' this guy's attitude is, the bigger the problem will be, absolutely!"

He looked at Feng and Xing and said, "You can talk about your communication problems, but whether you can communicate effectively is another matter!"

Huan Tongmin took out his prevention plan.

"Secretary, this is a big deal in our city, but for you, it's just a support, it's not difficult!"

Feng Yuxing still set a trap and put it on Huan Tongmin's prevention plan. In the following conversation full of variables, it was like a line of defense, providing him with a possibility.

"Speak now! Your bomb will explode whether it explodes early or late. It's better to explode early than late." Huan Tongmin put on a bitter face after saying this.

"It's like this. Recently, our Deputy Mayor Yi Gurong has been frequently 'inspecting' these two audit teams, causing considerable disruption to them.

I think Comrade Gu Rong is not using his energy where it counts. I'd like to assign him another position. Secretary, please take care of the position!"

While Feng Yuxing was talking, he stared at Huan Tongmin's face, observing the changes in his expression.

"Cough cough..." After hearing what Feng Yuxing said, Huan Tongmin's throat was choked by the tea and he started coughing violently.

The communication issues raised by Feng Yuxing were like a bolt of lightning, striking Huan Tongmin on the head and reaching his soul.

He thought to himself, "This guy is really good at throwing bombs. He knows that Yi Gurong has an unusual relationship with Governor Bu Tong, but he still does this;

It seems that he is competing with Governor Bu Tong. Alas! This Yi Gurong is also taking the hoe handed to him by others and digging a hole for himself!

"Mayor, this is a really big deal. As you know, for deputy-department-level cadres, we only have the right to recommend. The final decision lies with the provincial party committee. He has a good relationship with some provincial leaders!"

Huan Tongmin put away his humor and spoke slowly and calmly.

"Secretary, don't worry about the provincial leaders' attitudes. We must first consider which position is most suitable for him! After all, this is related to the smooth development and progress of the entire work.

We don't need to consider factors such as his ability, experience, and coordination with various departments;

At this stage, we don’t need to worry about whether he can give full play to his strengths or work closely with the team to promote the progress of the work. As long as he stays quiet, it will be fine.”

Feng Yuxing said nonchalantly.
