"Oh! Okay! Once your photo arrives, I'll check with the city police!"
Although Huan Tongmin had doubts in his heart, he did not raise any objections. After all, Ling Butong was his superior.
"Okay, that's it, I'll have someone send it to you later!"
Ling Butong hung up the phone after saying this.
Huan Tongmin put down the phone very slowly, thinking to himself, "Doing private business, missing?" His thoughts shifted to this matter.
He believed that things would not be so simple if they were related to Ling Butong. "It seems that Mayor Feng Yuxing is quite active! Could this be related to him?"
Feng Yuxing received an invitation call in the afternoon.
Feng Yuxing was not surprised that the caller was Fang Ren. What surprised him was the content of the call, which was that Ou Liangchang asked him to have tea.
I just heard Fang Ren mention it this morning, and I didn’t expect that Ou Liangchang wanted to see me so soon.
What's more, what he didn't expect was that the agreed place was actually the place where he and Mou Minmu had tea last time, Guanji Tea House.
At 7:30 in the evening, Fang Ren drove to pick him up.
He and Mou Minmu had been to Guanji Tea House once to drink tea, so it was not unfamiliar to him.
At that time, the place where the two of them drank tea was an independent, warm and quiet small pavilion-style tea room.
Now, Fang Ren led him to a unique tea room, which was very different from the place where he and Yi Minmu were, but it was also full of the fragrance of tea and the charm of life, as well as a bit of cultural heritage.
This one was much bigger than the one they had tea in that day. It looked like a complete "home", except that the decoration in the tea room was more luxurious and the environment was better.
An old man in his sixties is sitting at the tea table in this quiet tea room.
The old man's hands moved lightly and skillfully, as if he had experienced countless afternoons like this, and each time was so elegant and natural, as smooth as flowing water.
He carefully brewed the tea leaves. The tea water rolled in the boiling water, emitting a faint tea fragrance, and the air was filled with tranquility and harmony.
His eyes were focused and deep, as if he was immersed in the simple and pure joy of life.
He was the only one there, and Feng and Xing didn't need to guess, they both knew that he was the one who had invited him here, Ou Liangchang.
"Mayor, this is Mr. Ou!" Fang Ren introduced Feng Yuxing to Ou Liangchang, and then introduced Feng Yuxing to Ou Liangchang, "Mr. Ou, this is Mayor Feng!"
Ou Liangchang stood up enthusiastically and greeted Feng Yuxing.
"Mr. Ou, good evening!" Feng Yuxing was the younger generation, so he spoke first to greet him. Besides, the other person's official position at that time was much higher than his.
"Hello, Mayor Feng! Hearing about him is worse than meeting him in person. You are indeed a young and promising person. At such a young age, you have already become a provincial-level official. That's quite something!"
Ou Liangchang said with a laugh.
"Mr. Ou, you're too kind. I just obey the organization's arrangements. Wherever the organization tells me to go, I'll go!"
Feng and Xing answered very modestly.
"I didn't expect the 'notorious' Mayor Feng to be so humble!" Ou Liangchang said with a smile, "Sit down first, have some tea, and then we can chat!"
"Hey! It's all a misunderstanding from my friends. The mayors they've met are all very steady and composed. They've never seen a mayor with such a lively style!"
Feng Yuxing answered with a smile as he sat down.
Fang Renze found an excuse and left, probably to let him chat with Ou Liangchang alone.
Ou Liangchang is tall, pays attention to his image, and is in good health. If he hadn't been taken down by someone, he would have had the possibility of moving up to the next level.
Feng Yuxing sighed, "What a pity!"
"Mayor Feng, have some tea!" Ou Liangchang gestured for an invitation and continued, "This morning, there was quite a commotion at the municipal council. I didn't expect you to handle it so easily. That's remarkable!"
"Mr. Ou, this matter isn't that complicated. I wasn't directly arresting anyone, which was already a very kind act. You also know what kind of nature it is to attack the city government!"
Feng Yuxing picked up the teacup and said jokingly,
"Mr. Ou, you can call me Xiaofeng, or Comrade Yuxing. You are a deputy ministerial-level official after all! If you don't like me, you can call me 'kid', that's fine too!"
"Calling you kid is definitely not okay, but calling you comrade is more appropriate. After all, we are just having tea. Calling you mayor on the left and mayor on the right is not appropriate!" Ou Liangchang said jokingly.
"That doesn't matter. When I went to the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary Xiao and Governor Huang often called me 'kid'!"
Feng Yuxing said self-deprecatingly.
After hearing what Feng Yuxing said, Ou Liangchang laughed and said, "They are the incumbent provincial party committee leaders. I dare not be compared with them!"
He continued, "Let's go back to what happened this morning. Handling things like this, and being able to force these two big companies out and deal with them, is no easy task.
I have met many mayors, including myself, who has served as a mayor. None of them can use the same tactics as yours, and we dare not use them.
The biggest obstacle is the municipal party secretary, Huan Tongmin. I heard that he has a bad relationship with you, and it started from the first day you took office as mayor of Zhouxi.
He was there at the time, but he didn't dare to stop you. This is the first time I've seen him so weak.
You know, your predecessor, Comrade Liang Mingxian, was completely suppressed by him, especially when it came to discussions among the Standing Committee. Liang Mingxian even breathed cautiously!"
"No way! Secretary Huan, his performance on the scene this morning was remarkable. Although he didn't show that much generosity, his cooperation was also impressive!"
Feng Yuxing pretended to be incredulous.
Feng Yuxing knew what was going on, and Huan Tongmin was forced into a corner by him.
In that situation, we had no choice but to cooperate, because it was illegal for the people from those two companies to bring so many people to attack the city government. It was impossible for us to encourage these troublemakers to act in public.
If he really did this and something went wrong, the provincial party committee would take action and he might not be safe.
"That's because you haven't fully understood the officialdom in Yuanxi. Huan Tongmin is a close confidant of Ling Butong, the Deputy Provincial Party Committee and Police Chief. Another one is Deputy Mayor Yi Gurong.
He can influence the affairs of the Zhouxi Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. If Huan Tongmin falls out with you, even if you sue the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, it may not be effective.
He is an old Yuanxi, with a strong foundation. If he fights desperately at the Standing Committee, he may not be able to join forces with the provincial party secretary and the governor to compete with him;
This time, I guess Huan Tongmin should be accompanied by people from the Zhouxi Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. It's hard to confront you directly. I think the important point is that you were parachuted in;
Moreover, even if he opposes you in handling the issue, if you insist on resisting, he will be in a difficult position. If things really get out of hand, it will be a matter for the higher-ups, and he may not be able to guarantee that Ling Bu Tong can protect him!"
Ou Liangchang said as he analyzed.
