As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes flickered with strange colors, and they thought to themselves, "Comrade Cheng Yi's speech today is different from before! It has a bit of a desperate tone!"
Over the years, Executive Vice Mayor Cheng Yi has been timid and rarely speaks. Most of the time, he just follows the crowd or abstains from voting.
However, in two consecutive Standing Committee meetings, the opposition to the adjustment of Zhu Yonghao and Wang Mingquan was clearly expressed, and the language used was even sharper than the previous one.
Cheng Yi didn't care about how others looked at him at this moment. After he finished speaking, he still gave Jin Shanqiu a look of contempt. He thought to himself: "I'm going all out. Let's see whether you win or I win!"
First, he is close to retirement age, and if he cannot make any further progress, he can only go home and enjoy his old age; second, if Mayor Feng Yuxing cannot stand up to Huan Tongmin, then he will have offended the municipal party secretary, and at worst he will have to retire early.
The next three members of the Standing Committee all spoke in opposition. One of them was Sheng Lin, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. His speech made it very clear that Zhu Yonghao and Wang Mingquan had not committed any disciplinary violations, and the fate of a cadre who had been in politics for decades should not be decided simply by GDP theory.
Another is Mai Qingyun, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. He believes that it is not easy for the country to train a cadre, and it is not advisable to adjust a leading cadre who has not yet completed his term without any actual basis.
Organization Minister Feng Wangming's reason for opposition was that Zhu Yonghao was an outstanding young cadre recognized by the Provincial Party Committee and had just returned from Yancheng Yanxiao after attending a young cadre reserve training class. It was extremely inappropriate to deny the decision of the Provincial Party Committee.
The four standing committee members who opposed the adjustment of Zhu Yonghao and Wang Mingquan all expressed their respective positions and opinions, while those who supported the adjustment had only one opinion, which was that Chunjiang County's economic indicators had declined sharply.
There are four standing committee members who support it, and there are also four standing committee members who oppose it. The situation is evenly matched. Mayor Feng Yuxing is not anxious. He knows that there are people who are more anxious than him.
As expected, Yi Guyong was the most anxious.
"You four comrades oppose the adjustment. This is irresponsible to the livelihoods of the people and to the cause of the Party. The GDP figures are very clear, but some of our comrades simply refuse to acknowledge this fact!"
Those who supported his idea only made some accusations in their words, but Yi Gurong made accusations without any scruples, which made everyone sigh in their hearts.
Huan Tongmin disagreed with Yi Gurong's one-on-four accusation speech. He followed Feng Yuxing and drank his tea calmly.
Yi Gurong's second speech was like a boulder dropped into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. A hush fell over the conference room, as if everyone was deeply moved by this sudden change.
The standing committee members who had originally been there to watch the show showed an uneasy look on their faces. They knew that such an intense scene was not common.
The discussions at the Standing Committee meetings of the Zhouxi Municipal Party Committee have always tended to be one-sided or shallow. Even when discussing serious issues, they always stop at the point when it comes to people or things, and try to avoid unnecessary direct conflicts between comrades.
Now, the conference table was filled with sharp words and tit-for-tat debates, which made everyone present feel unprecedentedly strange. Some members of the Standing Committee had already realized that this meeting might go beyond the scope of normal discussions and enter into some more in-depth and complex areas.
The speech just now by Executive Vice Mayor Cheng Yi had already made everyone take notice. When the next speech by the Standing Committee member came, Mayor Feng Yuxing had not yet made any unconventional remarks, but he had already pushed the strange atmosphere of the Standing Committee to a climax.
He is Yun Lugang, the secretary general of the municipal party committee who has always tended to be neutral.
"Comrade Gu Rong, we are discussing the adjustment of Comrades Zhu Yonghao and Wang Mingquan. This issue was also raised by you. You must let the comrades speak and express their views!
Isn't there still a final vote? The button issue always hurts the harmony among comrades, and it also disrespects the principle of free speech in the Standing Committee, right?
The municipal party committee secretary general, Yun Lugang, spoke in a gentle tone with a smile on his face the whole time he spoke.
"So what's your opinion, are you against it or in support?" Yi Gurong seemed to be in a hurry and bit whoever he caught.
There was no clear support or opposition in Yun Lugang's words just now, but since he expressed his meaning in this way, it meant that he was against the adjustment, and everyone could hear it, but Yi Gurong insisted on arguing in black and white.
"Comrade Gu Rong, look at you, you're getting angry again! Whether you support or oppose, we must provide evidence for the adjustment! Everyone here has reached this position solely through political achievements, right?"
Yun Lugang still spoke with a pleasant expression.
It doesn't matter whether his tone was gentle or not. What matters is that as the secretary general of the municipal party committee, he actually stood up to oppose Yi Guyong.
All along, he just stood in the middle and supported Yi Gurong most of the time. After all, most of the time, the questions raised by Yi Gurong represented the attitude of the municipal party secretary Huan Tongmin.
Now, he opposed Yi Guyong, which was equivalent to opposing the municipal party secretary Huan Tongmin.
Sure enough, the municipal party secretary Huan Tongmin lost his composure. He no longer had the leisurely tea-drinking demeanor he had before, but his expression changed! It became gloomy and cold.
However, that was only a moment. No matter what, Huan Tongmin had been in the officialdom for decades. Even if he was angry, he would not show his emotions too obviously at the Standing Committee meeting.
Now, apart from the municipal party secretary Huan Tongmin and the mayor Feng Yuxing, there is only the political commissar Gao Jiang left.
But Gao Jiang had no intention of speaking. He just drank his tea, looked around, and seemed calm and comfortable.
Feng Yuxing did not express his opposition or support, so there should be no pressure on the other members of the Standing Committee to express their opinions. However, in their daily work, the Municipal Party Secretary Huan Tongmin and Yi Guyong seemed to be tied together, so these members of the Standing Committee had some ideas.
Because Yi Gurong had been at odds with the previous mayor, and this time he failed to become the mayor, everyone naturally thought that it was only a matter of time before Yi Gurong followed Feng Yuxing and became at odds with the new mayor.
Among the standing committee members with ideas, the most obvious ones are the executive vice mayor and the provincial party committee secretary-general Yun Lugang. Both of them are different from the past.
Once the discussion begins, everyone has to speak, or at least express their attitude. Otherwise, they will be called upon. This is an iron rule.
"Political Commissar Gao, please say something too!" Huan Tongmin said with a smile as he looked at Political Commissar Gao Jiang.
The treatment of people in the army is different from that in local areas, and soldiers are not subject to local control.
"Secretary Huan, today's Standing Committee meeting was really lively and unusual. Other comrades have already said what I want to say, so I won't comment! Anyway, I don't know much about local affairs;
As a soldier, you just follow orders. There's no need for so many twists and turns. I agree with you whether you make adjustments or not! "
The political commissar’s main point is to abstain from voting, but he makes the idea of abstention sound more grandiose.
