"Secretary, Mayor, and comrades, let me talk about this first!"
Yi Gurong didn't know where the confidence came from at this moment, and he spoke with a very confident look on his face.
He went on to say, “The government projects undertaken by these two companies over the years have involved several mayors;
The engineering projects signed by previous governments were shown to be in compliance with regulations. At this point, if we turn around and deny that the previous projects were non-compliant, things will become more complicated.
The most critical thing is that the unstable policies have made the business environment even worse, and companies that want to invest in our Zhouxi City are discouraged;
I won’t say any more, as everyone knows, our city’s GDP will inevitably decline like Chunjiang County’s;
We are the capital city of Yuanxi Province, the locomotive of the entire province. Due to the precipitous drop in our economic index, which has affected the provincial government's economic indicators, I'm afraid we're all in trouble..."
It was not difficult for the Standing Committee members to see that Yi Gurong was the first to speak in order to let the other Standing Committee members follow his lead;
Feng Yuxing and Huan Tongmin also noticed it, of course, but neither of them expressed any opposition. Originally, this Standing Committee meeting was just a show.
Huan Tongmin's expression was normal, but he was thinking:
"No wonder Feng Yuxing wants to get rid of him. It seems like he's a complete troublemaker! Why didn't I realize before that Yi Gurong is also good at sophistry? Wait a while and change his position."
Once someone starts speaking, there will definitely be others who will follow.
The spokesperson for the Standing Committee is Pang Mu, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.
"...Ladies and gentlemen, economics is not my strong point at the moment, but I was inspired by Comrade Gu Rong's speech just now and I think his speech makes sense.
After all, we all eat from the same pot! In peacetime, the emphasis is on economy, right?
Pang Mu’s speech was not long; he just raised his hand to show his support for Yi Guyong.
However, it was quite surprising.
At the last Standing Committee meeting, when Zhu Hao and Wang Ming's positions were adjusted, he followed the crowd and voted against it during the final vote. Unexpectedly, he now supports Yi Guyong.
"It seems that some people have been manipulated during this period of time!" Feng Yuxing thought to himself.
There was no expression of strangeness on his face, but he knew that Ling Butong had greeted many people during this period. He believed that the person who would speak next would probably support Yi Gurong's statement.
His guess was correct. The next Standing Committee member to speak was Ma Geming, Minister of United Front Work.
"What Comrade Gu Rong and Comrade Pang Mu just said makes a lot of sense. I won't elaborate on their views here."
Ma Geming said this, and took a sip from his teacup.
"This incident was caused by these two companies acting on impulse and bringing people to the provincial and municipal governments to cause trouble. It would be unpleasant for our mayor to encounter such an incident right after taking office.
It's unpleasant, but we must prioritize the overall interests. We shouldn't let a momentary impulse affect the overall interests of Zhouxi City, or even the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government. My advice is to carefully consider this!"
Ma Geming's tone was not sharp, but the content was quite offensive. He was just short of pointing at Feng Yuxing's nose and saying, "This was caused by your personal revenge!"
The Standing Committee members looked at Ma Geming in surprise.
It is true that speaking freely is a consistent principle during the Standing Committee meeting, but this is the first time I have seen him directly let the mayor take the blame in front of everyone.
After everyone saw Ma Geming, their attention shifted to Mayor Feng Yuxing.
However, Feng Yuxing seemed not to have heard what Ma Geming said, and continued to drink tea leisurely.
His expression was calm and composed, as if he didn't care at all about what was happening around him.
The Standing Committee members couldn't help but feel puzzled and surprised, thinking, "When did this mayor become so kind? This doesn't suit his style!"
This situation created a tense atmosphere in the meeting room, as no one knew how to interpret Feng and Xing's behavior.
Some members of the Standing Committee began to whisper, wondering whether Feng Yuxing had any special plans or attitudes.
If Ma Geming held an important position such as the municipal party secretary, or was in the leadership team of the provincial party committee or provincial government, such words might not seem particularly prominent.
But he is just an ordinary standing committee member, and his administrative level is even one level lower than that of the mayor Feng Yuxing.
Some members of the Standing Committee were puzzled, some enjoyed watching the show, but some were very disgusted with Ma Geming's words, and Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Sheng Lin was one of them.
Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Sheng Lin put down the teacup in his hand and even skipped the opening remarks. He looked at Ma Geming and said:
"Comrade Ge Ming, it's not nice of you to say that! Comrade Yu Xing is the mayor and has the power to direct the affairs of the municipal government.
Things in the past may not always be right. Since they are not necessarily right, why can't we overturn them and start over?
It was true that there were reasons for the incident, but the purpose of bringing people from these two companies to attack the Municipal Party Committee Office was very clear: they were targeting Comrade Yuxing;
Besides, Comrade Yuxing has only been in office at the municipal government for a few days, and he is already trying to cause trouble for the mayor. Regardless of whether there is someone behind the instigation, it is clear that these two companies are used to being arrogant and domineering.
Not letting the police arrest them is already very 'loving of the people';
Now, if these two companies really act as Comrades Yu Xing and Cheng Yi reported, I support severe punishment for them!"
Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Sheng Lin was not at all polite when criticizing Ma Geming.
