When I got off work, I found that there were almost no people on our floor. The deputy mayors had already left their offices, and I felt that Mayor Wen was not there either. This floor was too quiet.
The electric current of the fluorescent lamp was very loud, and there were flashes in several places. It felt like it was late at night, and it was very scary.
I called Secretary Lu, "Secretary Lu, how long has it been since the lights on our floor were replaced? How much are the lamps worth? There is no need to save money on such expenses, right?"
He said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, Mayor Feng. I didn't do my job well. I'll send someone to replace him right away."
I immediately asked him: "Why do I feel like everyone is absent today? What are the deputy mayors doing?"
He said: "They are all busy with their own affairs recently." Then he said in a low voice: "Mayor Feng, something big may happen to our Shangjiang City recently, and they are all hiding. In the past, it was the same before every election change.
In this way, everyone has their own Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts. Haha! Mayor Feng, I’m just saying this to you."
I smiled and said, "I understand. Thank you."
In fact, I also understood that he had not finished what he said. To be precise, it should be this: several deputy mayors who had nothing to do with him were hiding in other jobs, but Jiang Shanan and the woman named Yin must have been hiding with Mayor Wen.
Discuss countermeasures somewhere.
Mayor Wen must have been kidnapped by Jiang Shanan and others using women or other means. Maybe he also has financial problems. Otherwise, why would he have to go against Secretary Chen? This is a very taboo thing in officialdom.
The thing is, he is doing something stupid. Unless he still has a background that can compete with Secretary Chen.
Also, unless he has the confidence to win.
Yes, this may be the fundamental reason why he did what he did.
First of all, he was tied together by people like Jiang Shanan. They also had a relationship of mutual prosperity and mutual loss, which forced him to do that, and then they began to design how to secure victory.
What they did against me last time was just the beginning, but this time it was a drain on the bottom of the barrel.
They definitely implemented this matter after careful analysis. Although it was a bit risky, they had a great chance of winning, because they understood Secretary Chen's mentality as a local leader, and also understood the leader's inner expansion and the power of his opponent.
abuse.
The top leaders in any place have absolute power. This is caused by our system, because the power of the local top leaders has almost no supervision other than the superior departments, and they often have a strong backend. This is very easy to cause
They freely and even abuse the power they have.
If Governor Wang hadn't called him, he wouldn't have realized the seriousness of the problem so quickly. So I knew very well: my persuasion to him might not have had much effect, at most it would have had a little effect on him.
It serves as a reminder, or it just finds a step for him to get down to.
Now, Secretary Chen has decided to fight back, and he is lobbying in the province. I am thinking that maybe his lobbying has two aspects. One is to obtain the support of provincial leaders, and the other is that he may lobby the provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Come forward to clear out certain provincial cadres for him. No, it's not possible, this should be inevitable.
Mayor Wen and the others must be even more anxious now, because they never expected that the trap they set would be solved so easily, and so beautifully. So I believe that they will definitely use it next.
Come up with new tricks. No one will be willing to surrender.
So, what other tricks will they use?
Suddenly, I remembered the trap they had set for me... Now, isn't this the time they need to take advantage of that thing?
Although we had already taken precautions against that incident, at this moment, I suddenly felt a kind of fear coming towards me, followed by a burst of extreme uneasiness in my heart.
The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt, and I suddenly felt that this matter would definitely happen soon. But now I can't call Secretary Chen, because I know that his time is very tight these days, and there are many things he has to do.
Very important. So I thought of Minister Yang.
I called him on my mobile phone, "Minister Yang, are you free now?"
He replied: "I'm on my way back to the provincial capital. Mayor Feng, is there something wrong?"
I said: "The city has been too quiet recently, but I know that a lot of big things will happen next. But what I am most worried about now is the trap they set for me last time. Although we have already taken precautions,
Now I feel very uneasy."
He said: "The money transferred was signed by you personally, and you also made it clear where it came from, right?"
I replied: "Yes. I read the report they wrote carefully and then signed it. But..."
He immediately laughed and said, "I completely understand how you feel now. The Finance Director has it under control and this matter will not be leaked. Actually, have you thought about it? Now you are eager for them to jump out. In that case, we can just watch it.
Do you see the ugliness of these people? Mayor Feng, you don’t have to worry about anything. Secretary Chen will definitely be able to completely control this matter. Now I am completely relieved. After we helped Secretary Chen overcome this biggest difficulty, they
There are no cards in hand that are easy to play. Your analysis is right, the only card they want to play now is the one against you. But now is not the time for them to play that card."
I asked hurriedly: "Then when do you think they will play that card?"
He smiled and said: "They are waiting, waiting for what we will do next. Once they find out that there is trouble with Secretary Chen, they will play this card. Now they may still have a sense of luck in their hearts, because
They think that we have no evidence to prove that they were the instigators of this incident. So they hope that things can stabilize. Next week... Mayor Feng, please observe it then. When you go to work next week, say
Maybe they will change a lot."
I don't quite understand, "Change? What kind of change?"
He smiled and said: "I can't say much on the phone. Let's talk slowly at another time. By the way, Mayor Feng, aren't you going back to the provincial capital?"
I said, "I'm getting ready to go back. How about it? Let's go to the same restaurant where we were last time for a meal tonight?"
He smiled and asked me: "Are we still the four of us from last time?"
I laughed "hehe" and said, "That's okay. If you are free today, I will call you right away."
He pondered for a moment and then said: "Okay. Originally, I promised my wife to go home for dinner today. So, I will go home first and then go to that restaurant. You will probably have arrived by then."
I immediately called Ruan Zhenzhen.
When I got downstairs, the driver was already waiting for me.
Traffic jams were particularly heavy in the provincial capital on weekends. Fortunately, Xiao Cui was more flexible and knew how to seize the gaps on the road, so it didn't take a particularly long time.
In fact, I don't allow Xiao Cui to do this on weekdays, but today I didn't say anything about him at all. Some people say that this is a problem of the quality of the Chinese people, but now I feel that this does not seem to have much to do with the quality. This is really our problem.
Economic development and infrastructure cannot keep up.
"Secretary-General Lu has prepared a few cartons of cigarettes and wine for you in the trunk. Mayor Feng, would you like to take them down now?" Xiao Cui said to me when we got out of the car.
I smiled and said to him: "Just put the wine in the car. As for the cigarettes, you and Xiao Xu can smoke them. Just leave one for me in the office in case I receive guests in the future. I didn't give it to you before."
Have you told Xiao Xu? Haha! I am the executive deputy mayor. If my driver and secretary no longer have cigarettes, what will the other city leaders do?"
He smiled innocently at me.
I suddenly felt that my mood was a little too high today, and I was getting carried away. Then I kept telling myself in my mind: At this time, I should be more calm.
After arriving at the restaurant, Ruan Zhenzhen told me that her sister couldn't come because she was on a business trip. I asked her if Ruan Jie's child was at my house, and she said she should be.
Then I said to her: "Then come and have dinner with us. Minister Yang, who we had dinner with last time, is coming."
She looked very reluctant, "You guys are talking about things, why should I come?"
I smiled and said: "Let's talk about things first. Can't you come and drink with us later? Now let's go in first and you tell me how you plan to celebrate your birthday tomorrow... By the way, your sister
I'm on a business trip, so won't it be just the two of us when we go out tomorrow? Isn't that good? Or should I call two more people?"
She looked at me, "Brother Feng, you seem to be afraid of me. Am I that scary?"
I joked with her: "I am a weak-willed person, and you are so beautiful, but I will make mistakes myself."
She smiled charmingly at me and said, "You have no feelings for me at all, how could you make a mistake?"
I looked at her and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
At this time, I immediately felt that her birthday party was a bit troublesome. It was definitely inappropriate for the two of us to be together, but it seemed inappropriate to invite other people. So, I had to put this matter aside for the time being.
She suddenly said: "Shall we go to Sanya? We can fly there tonight and come back on Sunday night. I have never been there before."
I was immediately shocked by her idea, "Just the two of us? Shall we go to Sanya?"
She looked at me and smiled, "You don't dare, do you?"
I smiled bitterly, "Really, your provoking method is of no use to me. But I don't think it's appropriate for the two of us to go there."
She said: "I really don't have any friends, and I haven't celebrated my birthday in several years. Brother Feng, let's go. Okay? This can be regarded as a little benefit for me, the person who works for you, okay?"
We are friends, is there something wrong in your heart that prevents you from going with me?"
I hesitated very much, "Let's talk about it..."
At this time, Minister Yang arrived, and I entered the private room with him.
The food came quickly, and I also asked for a bottle of Wuliangye. I said to him: "Let's talk about something first, and then call Xiao Ruan. Her sister is on a business trip."
He nodded, and we had a drink, and then he said to me: "Mayor Feng, what measures do you think Secretary Chen will take next?"
I said: "We should discuss the issue of cadres now, right?"
He nodded and said: "Yes. This matter cannot be delayed any longer. There will be no point in delaying it any longer."
I added: "The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection may intervene immediately and first touch upon individual leaders in Shangjiang City who have serious problems."
But he shook his head and said: "I think this matter may need to be put aside for a while."
I asked him in surprise: "Why?"
He said: "Under the current situation, cadre adjustments must be carried out immediately, and the two standing committee members, Mayor Wen and Mayor Jiang, will not react excessively. This time Secretary Chen's matter has the effect of killing two birds with one stone. I
I think that under current circumstances, Mayor Wen would not dare to have an overreaction on this matter. Instead, he would strongly support Secretary Chen’s opinion, because he has no cards in his hand. Last time they gave you a
The trap was only used as a last resort. Now for them, concession is their only option, because they will definitely be lucky enough to think that Secretary Chen will give in because of this."
I said, "Then will Secretary Chen give in?"
He shook his head, "Definitely not. He might have done it before, but they went too far this time. If the poisonous snake is not killed at once, it will still hurt people when it gains strength. Chen
The reason why the secretary is not moving them temporarily is not only the current work needs of Shangjiang City, but the more critical issue is the province."
I was very surprised, "Don't Mayor Wen have no backstage now?"
He said: "That's not the problem. Think about it, if Mayor Wen is transferred or double-regulated, the province must consider his replacement in advance, right? It's not easy to find a full-time position in a city.
, I don’t know how many people are watching.”
I admire him very much because his analysis is indeed very reasonable. (To be continued)
