After the members of the Standing Committee finished their introductions, Huan Tongmin said:
"Before we begin our unlimited chat, let's first ask Comrade Yuxing to share his thoughts after joining the Zhouxi family..."
As soon as the municipal party secretary Huan Tongmin finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on the mayor Feng Yuxing.
Feng Yuxing looked at the members of the Standing Committee, smiled faintly, and said, "Secretary, and everyone, good morning. I'm very happy to join the Zhouxi City family. I feel deeply honored..."
What he said at the beginning was common sense, polite language, and official language, but what he said next was different.
He continued,
"You can tell from my face that I'm luckier than everyone else. I became mayor a little earlier than everyone here, but I'm just obeying the organization's arrangements!
You may feel that society or those above you are unfair and that you have experienced it all. I rarely have such thoughts and ideas.
Many people do not realize that the world is absurd and that life is a matter of pain. It is not about healing, but about living with pain. And this pain means that we have to work hard to seek welfare for the people but fail to achieve it.
You may think I am talking big, but I believe it won’t take long for you to believe me; it doesn’t matter if you don’t agree with me now.
After all, everyone looks at things from a different perspective. We often have different opinions and views on new issues or perspectives on issues.
This diversity is normal and valuable, so I am not surprised that you don't recognize it at this moment.
This just shows that there are differences in the way we think, and these differences are the driving force that drives us to think and make progress.
When I speak in places where I serve as the head of government, the expressions are different, but the meanings are similar;
I am not saying this to target any particular person, but in the future when you encounter problems in your work, if the solutions are different from what you have in mind, please bear with me.
Combined with my inauguration speech, that's what I wanted to say. Thank you everyone!"
The speech by Mayor Xinchang Feng Yuxing was neither too much nor too little, but the content was indeed different. Unlike the speeches of those top leaders in the past, he did not try to pick out words that others would like to hear and would not offend anyone. Instead, he said whatever he thought, without any ambiguity.
The members of the Standing Committee did not find it offensive because what he had just said was much better than the speech he gave on the day of his inauguration.
"Comrade Yuxing's speech was truly unique. The thinking of young people always makes us veterans eager to see what they can do! Zhouxi City is also honored to have such a young and energetic comrade and mayor who is dedicated to serving the people..."
Huan Tongmin also gave a lot of summary speeches about Feng and Xing.
Of course, his words were a mixture of truth and falsehood, and everyone could certainly hear something;
Feng Yuxing was different. He didn't study what the city party secretary Huan Tongmin meant at all. It was not worth thinking about. In his ears, it was just official language and clichés.
Next comes the chat mode, where anyone can talk about whatever topic they want. If it is a meeting chaired by Feng Yuxing, the meeting should be adjourned at this point.
Everyone seemed unwilling to speak but were waiting, because they knew that the municipal party secretary Huan Tongmin did not seem to want to end the meeting.
Huan Tongmin did not get what he imagined, where everyone was chatting without any scruples. On the contrary, the meeting room was silent, and the atmosphere was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
If others are not embarrassed, then the only one who is embarrassed is yourself.
Huan Tongmin coughed twice, meaning that it was time for everyone to chat and that anyone could talk about anything.
Feng Yuxing was confused for a moment and looked at everyone curiously, thinking, "Are all meetings of the Zhouxi Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee this awkward?"
Most people were drinking tea with their heads down, or writing or drawing on notebooks. As for what they were writing or drawing, it was all art and most people couldn't understand it.
There is one person who is more relaxed, he is Gao Jiang, the regimental political commissar of the reserve force stationed in the city.
He doesn't need to avoid anyone's gaze. He always listens more and speaks less, or doesn't speak at all, at the Standing Committee meetings.
The local areas are not his business. His biggest purpose is to work with the local areas to maintain the linkage between the local areas and the military, and to provide a strong guarantee for the stability of the local areas.
Other matters have little to do with him. Of course, his local role can only be reflected if it is necessary for the Standing Committee to vote.
At this point, everyone felt like they were watching a play. Since the script had already been written, the performance was about to begin. They all agreed that something unexpected would definitely happen at today's Standing Committee meeting, and the person who initiated it was undoubtedly Yi Gurong.
As expected.
Yi Gurong couldn't hold it anymore. He looked at the municipal party secretary Huan Tongmin, but Huan Tongmin picked up the teacup and drank tea, seemingly ignoring Yi Gurong's gaze.
He looked at everyone, cleared his throat with a cough, and raised his voice, saying:
"Secretary, and all comrades, the Standing Committee is for our Municipal Party Committee to discuss important decisions, and it's not something we convene casually..."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present felt surprised, but not surprised at the same time.
Their eyes were all focused on him, as if waiting for the answer to be revealed.
Everyone pinched their ears tightly, hoping to capture the subtle yet crucial information, for fear of missing any key details.
The air in the conference room was filled with anticipation and anxiety. The entire venue became unusually quiet, with only the light sound of pens scratching across paper reminding people of the passage of time.
Sure enough, Yi Gurong changed the subject.
"Last time, when we were discussing the adjustment of the top leaders of the Party and government in Chunjiang County, Mayor Feng took office, so the discussion was interrupted and no resolution was reached by the Standing Committee.
It just so happens that the new mayor took office today. I feel that this matter can’t be delayed any longer!”
Feng Yuxing looked at Yi Gurong and thought to himself, "It seems like everyone is quite good at guessing! No wonder everyone looked a little strange when I first came in. It turns out they were waiting for me here!"
There was no change in his expression. Instead, he calmly picked up the teacup and drank the tea leisurely without even glancing at the municipal party secretary Huan Tongmin.
He knew with his eyes closed that this was Huan Tongmin's tacit consent. Otherwise, as soon as Yi Gurong finished speaking, he would hear Huan Tongmin's voice: Let's discuss this matter another day!
Everyone's eyes focused on three people: Mayor's Secretary Huan Tongmin, Mayor Feng Yuxing, and Deputy Mayor Yi Gurong.
Compared to everyone else, Feng Yuxing was the last to realize the situation, but he remained calmer than anyone else. He thought to himself, "It seems that it's not easy to work together and eat from the same pot!"
He believed that Huan Tongmin would definitely push forward Yi Guyong's proposal.
