Liang Jian put down the phone and took a long breath. As soon as the bad breath he had been holding in his chest came out, he felt much better.
Director Qin's words seemed to be well-spoken, but in fact he was just using the excuse that his colleagues in the institute were upset and wanted Liang Jian to give him benefits.
Liang Jian originally thought that a research place like the Desert Research Institute should have a scholar's identity rather than a political identity, but he did not expect that this place had already been invaded by filthy ideas.
Liang Jian sat down and began to think about what to do better next time he went to see Director Qin. If he didn't give something away, I'm afraid Director Qin wouldn't easily agree to his request. It would be better if the gift was small and inconspicuous. No. But if the gift is good and Director Qin is satisfied, then Liang Jian is a bribe.
Moreover, although Director Qin's words were not subtle enough, they were not straightforward either. He was in Qizhou, and even if Liang Jian wanted to get him, it would be troublesome to investigate since there was no evidence and he was not in the same place.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is no other way out of this matter except Liang Jian bowing his head and paying bribes.
Just when Liang Jian was undecided, the door suddenly rang. Liang Jian raised his head, and Shen Lianqing poked his head in, reminding him that it was almost time.
Liang Jian hurriedly tidied up and then went out to the conference room.
At this time, it was easy to meet Diao Yimin and the others in the elevator, so Liang Jian chose to take the stairs. It was a better walk down here, and there was not much time, so Liang Jian walked quickly. When he got to the floor and walked out of the corridor, Liang Jian stood for a while. , calmed his breath before walking out.
In the conference room, Diao Yimin and others had already arrived before Diao Yimin and others came. Liang Jian walked in and before he could sit down, Diao Yimin, Lou Jiangyuan and others came in.
Xu Lei and Diao Yimin walked together, while Lou Jiangyuan was behind Xu Lei. Liang Jian squinted his eyes, believing He Changqing's previous statement that the two of them might have known each other.
During the meeting, Diao Yimin did not say anything about specific goals or policies, but he spent a lot of space criticizing Taihe City's stagnant economy in recent years and the current environment that was once full of conditions.
Although Liang Jian knew that the economic situation in Taihe City was not his fault, he still felt uncomfortable listening to Diao Yimin's lengthy criticism. Although he also knew that most of Diao Yimin's actions were probably intentional.
After the entire meeting, Liang Jian said nothing. Instead, Lou Jiangyuan brought up what Liang Jian said at the last work meeting about using the task allocation model to promote the economic development of Taihe City.
In addition to members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, the participants in this meeting were the Secretary-General of the Municipal Government and several deputy mayors. After Lou Jiangyuan told the matter, Comrade Xu Weijun, the Municipal Secretary-General, immediately followed up and said, " Secretary Liang is also doing this for the good of Taihe City, which is understandable. However, this method still has drawbacks."
When Liang Jian looked at Xu Weijun, Diao Yimin happened to look at him.
Diao Yimin said to Xu Weijun, "Tell me, what are the disadvantages?"
Xu Weijun pondered for a moment and answered, "There are two points. The first point is, once the investment recruitment work becomes a hard target, will someone try to make up for it? Everyone is also aware of the situation in Taihe City. In such an economic environment, few companies are willing to If you come here to invest, if the departments below fail to meet their targets, will they start thinking about other things?"
After Xu Weijun finished speaking, he stopped and waited for Diao Yimin to speak. Diao Yimin looked calm and could not tell anything. Two seconds later, he asked Xu Weijun, "Isn't it two o'clock? What about the other point?"
Xu Weijun then answered, "Another point is that once all departments participate in the investment promotion work, the investment promotion of enterprises will inevitably be uneven. Will this affect the urban planning of Taihe City, or even affect the urban stability of Taihe City? I will ask these two questions
Point. Secretary Liang’s idea is a good idea, but I think it is a bit hasty to turn the investment promotion work into a hard target to complete. After all, urban development is no more important than other things. Secretary Liang is the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and the future of Taihe City
How to proceed depends mainly on him taking the helm, and I think it should be more prudent."
Xu Weijun's words did not save any face for Liang Jian. Liang Jian glanced at him with a calm expression. Diao Yimin turned to look at him and asked, "Liang Jian, what do you have to say?"
Liang Jian looked back at Xu Weijun and replied, "Although the indicators are rigid, the two issues of whether to arrange which enterprises to settle and how to settle have always been flexible. I have never said that all departments find
All interested enterprises should settle in Taihe. I just hope to gather the strength of the entire Taihe City civil servants to work together to contribute to the development of Taihe City and find possibilities. Regarding Comrade Xu Weijun’s concerns, I
I express my understanding and regret. It seems that Comrade Xu Weijun does not know enough about this matter."
"Comrade Xu Weijun's idea is not unreasonable." Diao Yimin first affirmed Xu Weijun. Once the tone was set, everyone knew that Diao Yimin must be biased towards Xu Weijun. In fact, even if he didn't speak, Liang Jian also knew. For
For Liang Jian, the key thing is what Diao Yimin said next.
Diao Yimin said, "Comrade Xu Weijun is quite right when he says that, Liang Jian, you are the municipal party committee secretary, and it is up to you to steer the ship of Taihe City. If you are not steady on this ship, it will capsize at any time."
It has been more than half a year since you arrived in Taihe City. It is not difficult to understand that you are eager to make some achievements. But you have to eat one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step. In the current situation in Taihe City, it is most taboo to make rash advances. As a
Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, you must remember this. In addition, it will not hurt you to listen to the opinions of other comrades. You are still young after all, so you should ask other older comrades for advice on some things. You are not ashamed to ask!"
Diao Yimin was trying to hammer him down, telling him not to talk too much and not to act impulsively.
He is laying the groundwork for Lou Jiangyuan.
Liang Jian didn't want to argue with him. Before he came, Liang Jian had been warning himself not to be impulsive. Diao Yimin couldn't stay here forever, he would leave. As long as he left, as long as he was still in the position of municipal party committee secretary,
So even if Lou Jiangyuan has Diao Yimin behind him, he still has to listen to him on where the boat in Taihe City should go.
"Yes! Secretary Diao's criticism is correct. I will pay attention to it in the future." Liang Jian lowered his head slightly and answered.
At the end of the meeting, Lou Jiangyuan and Xu Lei sent Diao Yimin out together. Liang Jian deliberately lagged a step behind, not wanting to join in the fun.
Then came lunch. Because Diao Yimin had rested for an extra hour before, lunch was postponed. Liang Jian came out of the conference room and did not go directly. He went to the office to sit for a while and adjusted his mentality before rushing to eat.
place.
Diao Yimin and Lou Jiangyuan were already sitting. Except for a few members of the Standing Committee, the other deputy mayors were not present at this lunch. But Comrade Xu Weijun suddenly appeared on the table.
Liang Jian knew that this should be what Lou Jiangyuan meant.
During lunch, the atmosphere at the table seemed harmonious. Xu Weijun would tell a few jokes from time to time, making everyone laugh. Liang Jian looked on coldly, not realizing that Xu Weijun actually had such an ability.
In the afternoon, Diao Yimin wanted to go down for inspection and named Lou Jiangyuan, Xu Weijun, and Xu Lei to go with them. No one else needed to accompany them. In other words, Liang Jian didn't need to accompany them either.
The provincial secretary’s inspections are all followed and reported by reporters. I think there is no need to wait until tomorrow. Tonight, officials of all sizes in Taihe City will know that Lou Jiangyuan is more favored by the provincial secretary than Liang Jian. Who is the confidant?
, who seems to be more promising is shown in this one shot.
Some people say that to see who a leader has a good relationship with, it depends on who is always around him. Diao Yimin went to Taihe City and asked Lou Jiangyuan to accompany him, but not Liang Jian. No one knows the meaning of this.
Liang Jian felt that when he walked back to the office, the people he met looked at him differently.
Liang Jian suddenly understood the purpose of Diao Yimin's trip. He wanted to tell everyone who he trusted and who he liked. In the officialdom, whoever has the trust of the leader means who has more opportunities and who has a better future.
Liang Jian was sitting in the office, imagining what changes would happen to the officialdom of Taihe City after today. Will those who were originally neutral all turn to Lou Jiangyuan? He also thought about the current Standing Committee members. The Standing Committee members now personally,
Including him and Lou Jiangyuan. Originally, except for Lou Jiangyuan, Liang Jian could confidently say that most of the remaining six people would be on his side. But after today, it is hard to say what kind of changes there will be.
He Changqing should not switch sides on the spot. It is hard to say whether he is morally wise or not. He is originally neutral. In fact, the relationship between him and Lou Jiangyuan is closer than that between him and Liang Jian. Guang Yuyuan should not switch to Lou Jiangyuan, but
As for Zhu Qi, it is very likely. The last remaining ones are Xu Lei and Zhang He.
These two people don't know each other very well. It's hard to tell. Because it's hard to tell, I feel even more uncertain.
From this point of view, what was originally one-sided has become a 50-50 split. After a while, if Diao Yimin continues to fan the flames, can Liang Jian still maintain this 50-50 split?
Although this is unfounded worry, Liang Jian has to consider it. The votes of the Standing Committee are crucial to any decision he makes.
Although he is the secretary of the municipal party committee, it is not impossible for him to be ousted by power. Even if he has a veto power, if the order is passed and others delay it, it will be enough for Liang Jian to die of frustration.
Therefore, Liang Jian had to do something. He couldn't just watch Diao Yimin turn his originally advantageous situation into a disadvantage.
But, what can be done to reverse this situation?
Liang Jian thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good answer.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Diao Yimin and his party left Taihe City. It is said that Lou Jiangyuan and Xu Lei took him to the highway entrance before returning.
After Lou Jiangyuan sent Diao Yimin off, he did not return to the city government, but went directly to the Loushan Coal Mine. This behavior made Liang Jian immediately alert.
As soon as Diao Yimin left, he went to the Loushan Coal Mine. What was he going to do? In other words, what was Diao Yimin going to do?
