"Ah! Ginger is still experienced, don't worry, I will take care of it!"

Feng Yuxing was directly suppressed by the power and was defeated.

Next, Feng Yuxing called Governor Huang Huamin to wish him a happy new year, but the result was the same as when he called him, and both were defeated.

However, he didn't mind, as the matter was not beyond his judgment.

Feng Yuxing then called Jiang Baibo, the director of the municipal government office, and asked him to notify all deputy mayors to come to work early and to convene a mayoral meeting at 10 a.m. tomorrow.

In addition to the four deputy mayors, the participants also included the directors and deputy directors of the municipal government offices, the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, and the director of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau.

The members of the municipal party committee and municipal government team were already aware of the provincial television station's report on the people's livelihood issues of the Zhouxi Municipal Government yesterday, so they were not surprised at all when Feng Yuxing convened a mayor's meeting.

. . . . . .

At 10 o'clock in the morning, people attending the mayor's meeting were notified and they were all on time.

After all, no one can guess what Mayor Feng Yuxing’s attitude is. God knows whether Feng Yuxing will get angry and vent his anger on them on the pretext that they do not pay attention to people’s livelihood issues.

After the participants sat down, they were all quite serious because, in their eyes, the report by the provincial TV station the day before was too damaging to the reputation of the municipal government.

However, there was an exception, and that was Deputy Mayor Yi Gurong. He was very casual, his eyes flickering, and the expression on his face showed that he was looking forward to watching the show, and also a little moody.

Feng Yuxing looked at everyone, smiled, and said:

"Excuse me, everyone! The New Year hasn't even ended yet, but I've called you all back for a meeting.

However, there is nothing we can do. The provincial TV station reported on the livelihood incident of our Zhouxi citizens the day before yesterday. It is really disgusting to encounter such a thing during the Chinese New Year.

But we have to pay attention to it, to be worthy of the provincial party committee and government, and to be worthy of the people;

Regarding the incident reported by the provincial television station the day before yesterday, it is true that as mayor, I was suspected of dereliction of duty. I apologize to everyone for causing you to be implicated.

However, today we need to take a look at how big and serious the impact is.

Then, let’s discuss how to handle this. We can’t let the people of Zhouxi City point fingers at us and curse us. That would be even more unworthy of their trust and expectations…”

His opening remarks, tone and content did not seem very harsh, and everyone was unable to see through his intentions for a moment.

Everyone knows that this is not the mayor's style.

Feng Yuxing looked at everyone, his eyes falling on the face of Cai Ruoxin, the director of the Environmental Sanitation Bureau. He smiled and said:

"Director Cai, judging from the footage from the provincial television station, there are one or two areas where construction waste is piled up indiscriminately, causing serious damage. Could you please explain the situation?"

Cai Ruoxin, the director of the Environmental Sanitation Bureau, is in his fifties and is considered an old comrade at the division level in Zhouxi City.

At this moment, his face looked very ugly, not because of dereliction of duty, but because he didn't know what to say.

Feng Yuxing also saw his difficulties, but did not blame him. They looked at him and said with a smile:

"Director Cai, those construction and industrial wastes were not created in one or two days, or one or two months. They must have been there for many years.

Now is the time to not pursue accountability, but to understand how this massive accumulation of garbage is caused, and then we can make our own decisions!"

Cai Ruoxin wanted to remain silent, but that was impossible. He looked at everyone and said:

"Mayor, leaders, everyone, Happy New Year! Speaking of those mountains of construction waste, it's embarrassing and helpless;

The Environmental Protection Bureau once issued a fine to a unit that dumped garbage indiscriminately, but the unit refused to pay and continued to pile up garbage;

Our Environmental Protection Bureau Director doesn’t have enough authority to enforce the law, so we can’t do anything about it. And so, after dragging it out for eight or ten years, it’s become like this…”

"Which companies and units have piled up the garbage?" Feng Yuxing looked at Cai Ruoxin and asked with a smile.

"At first, it was just Zhouxi Ming Construction, Yuanyuan Landscaping, and Fengyun Building Materials. After issuing fines didn't work, many other companies started joining in. This made things even more difficult!"

Cai Ruoxin's words do reflect the facts, but he did not mention all the details.

This is because he was hesitant to reveal the names of those who could invalidate the fines.

In this officialdom where power is intertwined and human relationships are complicated, one may infringe upon the interests of certain people and get oneself into unnecessary trouble if one is not careful.

Of course, Feng and Xing can see it. However, this is a question that should be asked at the end, or perhaps it is not necessary to ask it. Asking it is the responsibility of the previous mayor and the previous mayor.

If we don't insist on carrying out the penalty notice, it must be because of the mayor's consent, either explicitly or implicitly, or because of pressure from higher authorities, either overtly or covertly.

This time, his gaze fell on Yu Wenjiang, the director of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau. He also had a smile on his face and asked:

"Director Yu, do you have anything to add? Or if you have any questions, please let me know. For example, some buildings failed the inspection, but we still had to turn a blind eye and pass them."

He spoke directly, in a calm and kind tone, but everyone could tell from the content that his words were not so kind.

As Feng and Xing continued to ask questions, the atmosphere in the meeting room gradually became awkward and tense.

In a meeting with many people like this, people usually laugh it off, and it is only when they report individually after the meeting that they speak the truth.

Therefore, it is also popular among the people that meetings with many people are not important, and meetings with small people are effective.

The person making the report does not want the truth he or she says to get spread and cause trouble for himself or herself. Therefore, the conference is usually for directional communication and does not have much substance.

Feng Yuxing's operation seems to have been widely publicized.

Everyone in the Zhouxi City officialdom knows that the mayor's style and behavior are unconventional. He does whatever he wants and will not let go of any problems that arise. To use the jargon of the underworld, this kind of person will soon have no friends.

What made him angry was that he had only been the mayor of Zhouxi for a few months. The previous problems were related to him because he was the mayor, but they were not big problems. They were historical issues, but they were all blamed on him.

Since the other party used the public media method of the provincial satellite TV station to disgust him, he had to deal with it in a public way, otherwise, he would be sorry for the audience.

Yu Wenjiang from the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau fell silent. He knew that today's meeting would be difficult, and he was mentally prepared.

But when I got to the meeting room, I realized that I had underestimated Mayor Feng Yuxing's unconventional style, because Feng Yuxing's questions hit the nail on the head and were really difficult to answer.

If the report had been made individually, this embarrassing situation would not have occurred at all.

Because in individual reporting situations, both parties can communicate and discuss issues more freely without having to worry about other people's reactions or opinions.

In addition, reporting alone can also reduce the leakage or spread of the content of his report. If it is spread by others, it will lead to information confusion and misunderstanding, and in serious cases, it will offend higher-level leaders.
