Volume 3 High Officials_1292 Shooting yourself in the foot
"Qianxi, I'm back at the hotel."
Hu Fei dialed Yang Qianxi's number and felt a wave of tiredness welling up like a tide. He couldn't help but yawned greatly. He had been tossing with Yang Qianxi for too long last night and was still a little tired.
Already.
"Brother, I'm out on the street with my friends. You can go to bed. I won't go to have dinner with Hua Ziqian tonight. Please tell him for me."
Yang Qianxi on the other side of the phone seemed very happy. She hurriedly explained a few words and hung up the phone.
Hu Fei was stunned, threw his phone away, lay down on the bed and fell asleep deeply.
A rapid ringing of the phone woke Hu Fei up. He grabbed the phone and took a look at it and was stunned. It was already after five o'clock in the afternoon. He had slept for a long time.
The call was from Hanazi Qian.
"Hi, Ziqian, I was just taking a nap."
Hu Fei answered your call.
"Oh, Mayor Hu Da is actually sleeping. Oh my god, this is surprising."
Hua Ziqian's loud laughter rang out from the microphone, "Brother, get up quickly, don't let this great time go by. It's rare for you to come to the deep city."
"Okay, get up quickly. I'll be at your hotel soon. Is Qianxi at your place?"
"No, she went out to play with her friends. By the way, she said she wouldn't have dinner with you tonight."
Hu Fei sat up from the bed and said into the microphone, "However, let me make it clear first not to go too far. After all, I came to Shencheng this time for a business trip, not for fun. It will not have a good impact if it spreads."
"Okay, Mr. Mayor, I just want to have a drink with you. Don't make yourself so nervous. Okay, stop being verbose and get up quickly. I'll be at the hotel soon."
After hanging up the phone, Hu Fei quickly got up from the bed, rushed into the bathroom, washed his face hastily, picked up the phone and went out.
When Hu Fei walked out of the lobby, he saw a very cool yellow sports car parked at the door of the hotel, and Hua Ziqian was shaking his head and twisting his body to the music in the car.
He walked over and opened the car door, and Hu Fei got in. "Zi Qian, when did you come back?"
"What, what did you say?"
Hua Ziqian asked loudly, with a confused look on his face.
"Okay, stop pretending, I know you are unhappy."
Hu Fei turned off the car stereo, and the car suddenly became quiet, "Let's go, where are we going to eat?"
"Brother, I feel really unhappy. Of course, this is not directed at you."
Hua Ziqian sighed, started the car, and shook his head, "Many people here in Lingnan have been too comfortable in the past few years, and they are a little inflated. I didn't expect that there are actually people who are really trumpeting the upgrade to a municipality.
It seems that if they make such a noise, the central government will agree, and they can be promoted to a local official."
"Moreover, they underestimated Zhu Xing too much. They always felt that this guy was born in a party and was not pragmatic and had no abilities. Little did they know that this Zhu Xing was much stronger than them."
"Is the situation as serious as you said?"
Hu Fei frowned. He didn't know Zhu Xing very well. In fact, it was the first time they met last night. However, through the conversation this morning, he felt that Zhu Xing had a strong view of the overall situation and was very courageous. As for his
I really don’t know what my abilities are.
A person's ability cannot be understood just by talking. Otherwise, Zhao Kuo would not have ruined Zhao's 400,000-strong army.
"When my family accepted your suggestion, I didn't expect that many people had selfish motives and really wanted to agitate for the upgrade to a municipality. Zhu Xing was not a simple person. Of course he understood the central government's intention, so he got wind of it when he saw it.
After that, he took advantage of the situation and secretly encouraged him, and some people began to move towards him."
Hua Ziqian sighed softly, "Zhu Xing is a very skillful person. Although he is from the League Central Committee, he is more pragmatic. After taking office, he solved many people's livelihood problems and won a very good reputation in Shencheng.
"
His voice paused, "This is like shooting yourself in the foot."
"Zi Qian, it's all my fault. You shouldn't come up with random ideas."
Hu Fei also sighed, took out a cigarette and handed it to Hua Ziqian, took out his mobile phone and lit it for him.
"Brother, it's not your fault."
Hua Ziqian shook his head, "The pressure from above is too great. Many people in the officialdom are slowly changing their stance, and some are not optimistic about us. In fact, this is also expected."
"There can no longer be a land of alienation. After cleaning up Lingnan, I guess the next step will be other places."
Hu Fei said nothing, took a puff of cigarette, and turned his eyes to the window. The Hua family has had too much influence in Lingnan over the years. As the founding father of the country, the Hua family was surrounded by his trusted generals when he returned to Lingnan. These people
Come together naturally.
And with the example of Lingnan in front of us, others will naturally follow suit, which is naturally a bad phenomenon for the central government. This will lead to the situation where the following policies are in vain and compromising on the policies above, and there will be a situation where there are policies above and policies below.
It is very common that the corruption problem of local officials cannot be effectively curbed.
This proves that the central government does not have enough control over power to effectively restrain local behavior and resolutely implement the central government's intentions. However, it cannot over-centralize power and must give local governments sufficient freedom to ensure the dynamic development of local economies and various tasks.
This is a relatively difficult problem to solve. Obviously, the central government is on the right path. Likewise, this will inevitably harm the interests of Hua Ziqian and others.
"Take your time, there will always be a way."
Hu Fei couldn't find anything to say to comfort Hanako Qian. In fact, this kid was running abroad at sky-high prices and looking for investment projects. Did he also have a way out?
"Yes, although some things are sad, you have to face reality after all."
Hua Ziqian sighed, "You must swallow the bitter pill no matter how hard it is to swallow, and you must accept the facts that should be accepted. It's just that it's hard for the elderly at home to accept it, but so what. To use a very common saying, the history of
The wheel is rolling forward, and no one can stop it."
"It's ridiculous to use a mantis' arm as a chariot. However, some people know that it's a mantis trying to act as a chariot but still pounce on it regardless of their own safety."
"Maybe status determines behavior."
Hu Fei sighed. He felt a kind of helpless sadness from Hua Ziqian's words, a kind of lament after the nobles fell into despair. However, since Hua Ziqian understands this truth, it does not mean that there will be peace and quiet in Lingnan.
With the transfer of power, more disturbances will be brewing, and once an opportunity is encountered, they will definitely break out.
Thinking about this, Hu Fei shuddered in his heart. How thrilling would that be?
