Huan Tongmin also knew that asking the political commissar was the same as not asking at all, but this was a matter of principle for the Standing Committee.
He was very angry, but he had to maintain the demeanor of a municipal party secretary; if the vote was based on the attitude of the standing committee members who spoke, it would only be 6:6, a tie.
It is impossible for him to use his privilege as the municipal party secretary - the veto power to decide the outcome for such a matter. Not only is it unreasonable, it will also make others laugh at him.
"I guess this old guy will strive for the position of Political Commissar Gao, which is his only way to ensure victory!" Feng Yuxing thought to himself.
Although Feng Yuxing has not expressed his opinion yet, he knows that this matter was originally aimed at him and it is impossible to win him over. He is very clear about this in his mind.
Feng and Xing guessed correctly.
At this time, Huan Tongmin looked at Political Commissar Gao Jiang and said with a smile:
"Political Commissar Gao, you soldiers defend our country and protect the people. Now, we are discussing an issue concerning the people's livelihood. Can you show your support?"
His words were full of moral kidnapping. If it were someone else, it might be a little difficult to deal with, but when he met Gao Jiang, the political commissar of the army, it would be difficult to be effective.
"Damn it! This old guy is so shameless that he has gone to such lengths to accept votes!" Feng Yuxing felt more and more contemptuous of Huan Tongmin.
In fact, everyone and Feng Yuxing had the same idea, thinking that for a city party secretary to be so shameless as to show such a tactic at the Standing Committee meeting was "too shameless."
"Secretary Huan, it's hard for me to make a judgment on local officials. Besides, I just listened to both the opponents and the supporters, and they all made sense. I'm confused! Let's talk about it later!"
Political Commissar Gao Jiang did not want to save face for the secretary, so he could only use the tactic of "dragging".
Feng Yuxing didn't care much about this matter, but he was also observing the performance of every member of the Standing Committee.
"Apart from Deputy Secretary Mai Qingyun and the Executive Vice Mayor, anything is possible for everyone else who can consistently oppose!" Feng Yuxing secretly estimated to himself.
He is not familiar with these Standing Committee members, and each of them is an old fox, so it is difficult to determine the facts from their language and expressions.
"Comrade Yuxing, you must be unfamiliar with the situation just now. However, you have been in charge of politics before, so please share your thoughts!" Huan Tongmin's words interrupted Feng Yuxing's thoughts.
Even if Huan Tongmin didn't tell him, he would express his opinion.
Everyone knew that a big show was coming, and they would not believe that the new mayor would stand on the side of the municipal party secretary Huan Tongmin and be willing to be a puppet mayor.
Yi Feng and Xing's speech on the inauguration day was definitely not a good one.
He looked at the other members of the Standing Committee, and finally fixed his eyes on Deputy Mayor Yi Gurong, and said:
"Comrade Gu Rong, you were the one who raised the issue. I just listened to your discussion and I understand that this is your second discussion! It's great that you're so concerned about the people's concerns and the city government's economic indicators!
However, I must criticize you. When discussing among comrades, don't make arbitrary accusations! This will affect the cooperative relationship among comrades. "
Feng Yuxing spoke in a very gentle tone and slowly.
Everyone listened to Feng Yuxing's tone and thought to themselves, "This doesn't seem like a sign of a big drama! Is this Mayor Xiaofeng a kind person?"
He continued, "Comrade Gu Rong, Chunjiang County's GDP figures have been declining dramatically. When did this start? Was it this year?"
"That's right, last year's figures were not good, and the GDP figures for the first half of this year are even worse!" Yi Gurong answered Feng Yuxing with an expressionless face.
"Comrade Gu Rong, last year and this year, did Chunjiang County come up with any promotional plans, or did they make any requests to the municipal government? If so, is there a question of how effectively they were implemented, or were they just making up a plan on the spur of the moment?"
Feng Yuxing asked several questions in succession, all of which were standard questions, spoken in a neither hurried nor slow tone.
"I'm not too sure about this. This matter is not my responsibility. It's just that Chunjiang County's GDP figures are getting worse every year. This year is particularly bad. We must change the leader!" Yi Gurong blurted out.
Everyone was dumbfounded. A deputy mayor knew nothing about anything and yet he confidently proposed to adjust the two top leaders of the party and government in Chunjiang County. How could this be possible?
The members of the Standing Committee seemed to have been fooled by Yi Gurong, and the municipal party secretary Huan Tongmin's face suddenly turned as black as ink.
Feng Yuxing didn't seem to bother Yi Gurong. He looked at Executive Vice Mayor Cheng Yi and said with a smile:
"Comrade Cheng Yi, for the past six months, as a standing committee member, you have been responsible for the daily work of the municipal government. Thank you for your hard work!"
The Standing Committee members were confused again, thinking,
"Is there something wrong with this young mayor's brain?! During this period when the mayor was absent, Deputy Mayor Yi Gurong was clearly in charge of daily work! Even though he's only been in Zhouxi for two or three days, he should have inquired about this matter, right?"
Municipal Party Secretary Huan Tongmin and Yi Gurong looked embarrassed.
Executive Vice Mayor Cheng Yi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and quickly replied:
"Mayor, what are you talking about? As the executive mayor, I'm responsible for the daily work of the government. That's my job. There's no question of whether it's hard or not!"
After hearing Cheng Yi's answer, everyone still didn't understand. They only had one thought in their minds, "Isn't this General Manager Cheng a bit shameless? He took all the credit for running the city government!"
"Since you are filling in for the mayor, could you please talk about the question I asked Comrade Gu Rong just now?"
Feng Yuxing didn't care about the changes in expression of the standing committee members, but chatted with Cheng Yi slowly and leisurely.
"As a general manager, I'm definitely aware of this! The year before last, the Chunjiang River flooded, and the irrigation system responsible for over 60% of the county's farmland was destroyed. We requested assistance from the municipal government, but the city government refused to grant funding to Chunjiang County.
Chunjiang County could only find a solution on its own, doing it bit by bit. The construction period was relatively long, which delayed farming and reduced the people's harvest a lot.
In recent years, the Chunjiang County government has needed to repay the debts left by previous leaders, and has been robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Due to insufficient funds, preferential policies for attracting investment projects failed to materialize, and many large projects were snatched away by other cities and counties.
In addition, for those old factories with a long history, transformation and upgrading is an urgent task.
Due to the lack of sufficient financial support, it is difficult for these factories to break away from the old model and achieve innovation and development.
Without effective government support, funding shortages have become insurmountable obstacles to their transformation. This phenomenon not only restricts the modernization of traditional industries but also affects the optimization and upgrading of regional economic structures.
Therefore, how to balance capital investment and project development has become one of the urgent issues that local governments need to address.”
Cheng Yi just gave an outline and didn't go into detail. This was also what Feng Yuxing required. After all, now was not the time to go into details.
