Chapter 772: The Conscience of the City
Sure enough, when Qiu Pengfei proposed this project at the Standing Committee, He Liren couldn't wait to stand up and object: "I object! Because Secretary Qiu insisted on free public transportation and free heating, our city's finances were under great pressure.
, several projects that had already been approved have been suspended, but now such a large new project is being launched. If this continues, our city's financial resources will be completely ruined!"
Qiu Pengfei saw that He Liren was so eager to jump out and sing the opposite, he frowned and said: "Mayor Liren, there is something wrong with your words, what do you mean that the city's financial resources are all 'lost'?!"
Why should we introduce free public transportation and free heating? What benefits will it bring to the future development of our city? I made it very clear at the last meeting of the Standing Committee, and the Standing Committee also voted to approve it. What do you mean by bringing it up now?! I
I heard some people outside are spreading rumors that I am the 'Prodigal Secretary'. Regarding such unnecessary rumors, I can treat these people as ignorant and careless. But Comrade Liren, as the mayor, are you as ignorant as those people? Or is it like this?
The rumors came from you!"
He Liren was turned over by Qiu Pengfei. He waved his hands in anger and said: "Secretary Qiu, don't talk nonsense without any basis. How could I be the one spreading rumors?! Okay, since free public transportation and free heating are on the agenda,
The Standing Committee has already voted and passed it, so we won’t mention it. Let’s talk about the underground drainage system tourism project now. I am the mayor and the first person in charge of the city’s economy. I should have a say in this project.
I have the right to object!".
Qiu Pengfei was also scratching his head. This time was different from the last time when we discussed free public transportation and free heating. Free public transportation and free heating can be regarded as projects benefiting the people. As the secretary of the municipal party committee, he can intervene, but this time the underground drainage system tourism project is
It belongs more to the management of the government. If Mayor He Liren insists on opposing it to the end, it will be almost impossible for him, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, to bypass him and pass this project at the Standing Committee, and he will also be left with too much.
An excuse to interfere in the affairs of the city government.
At this time, Qiu Pengfei could no longer be tough and explained patiently: "Comrade Liren, it's not that I want to interfere too much in the affairs of your municipal government. This project was the last time I accompanied Governor Duan to Dongdong.
When the urban area was investigating the underground drainage system, Governor Duan proposed it. You happened to be away that day. Governor Duan asked me to prepare a feasibility report and preliminary budget for the project. If it is approved by the Standing Committee today, the specific operation of the project will definitely be implemented.
It still needs to be handled by your municipal government.”
This is actually a disguised concession by Qiu Pengfei. After all, it is easy for him, the secretary of the municipal party committee, to interfere too much in government economic affairs. As long as this project can be successfully launched, it is not impossible to leave it to He Liren to carry out the specific operations.
In this way, if this project is successful, He Liren will also share in the political achievements. There is nothing that can be done about it. Politics requires compromise. Qiu Pengfei has to make such concessions if he wants this project to be passed by the Standing Committee.
However, He Liren regarded Qiu Pengfei's concession as a sign of weakness, and curled his lips a little smugly: "Secretary Qiu, don't bother to bring out Governor Duan to suppress me. Governor Duan is from the south and doesn't understand our Liaoyuan people.
Due to the climate conditions, our Liaoyuan Province has drought and little rainfall. We have not encountered floods like the previous ones in decades. There is no need to build such a huge underground drainage project. It is purely a waste of people and money. As for using it for tourism projects, no one can
I know it is a gimmick. There are many projects of this kind of artificial landscape across the country. How many of them have been successful? When the money is wasted, who is responsible? Besides, why do we dignified Chinese people want to imitate the Japanese devils?
,Is the moon in Japan rounder?".
At this time, the door of the conference room suddenly opened, and Duan Yu walked in. The Standing Committee members were all surprised and stood up to greet him. Duan Yu waved his hands and said with a smile: "I heard that you are discussing the underground drainage system tourism project.
I am very interested in this project, so I came here to observe it. You don’t need to worry about me and continue the discussion!”
Originally, Qiu Pengfei was about to give up his seat to Duan Yu, but Duan Yu held him down and asked Li Shuping to move a chair and put it in the corner of the conference room. He sat on it without hesitation.
He looked like he was here to listen.
The standing committee members looked at each other. Even a fool could tell that Duan Yu was here to help Qiu Pengfei stand up, but standing behind He Liren was Gu Zhigao, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. Although Gu Zhigao's ranking in the standing committee of the provincial party committee was slightly lower than that of the provincial governor Duan Yu.
One person, but he has been deeply involved in Liaoyuan Province for many years and is not easy to offend. Shunde's brother fell in love with his sister-in-law. Naturally, no one was willing to make a clear position at this time, so the venue suddenly became deserted and no one spoke.
Duan Yu saw that no one was speaking, so he smiled slightly and said: "Why are no one speaking? The Standing Committee is meant to speak freely. Only through collective discussion and collective decision-making can we reflect the principle of democratic centralism of our party."
The members of the Standing Committee all smiled bitterly, saying to themselves that you, a great god, are sitting here. Who among us dares to speak? Especially He Liren, who looked unnatural in his heart. Duan Yu probably heard what he just said outside the door, although he
With the support of Gu Zhigao, he was not afraid of Duan Yu wearing small shoes for him, but when his immediate boss arrived in person, he still felt a little weak.
Seeing that no one was willing to speak, Duan Yu turned his eyes to He Liren, who looked unnatural, and said with a half-smile: "Comrade Liren, when I came in just now, you were speaking. It seemed quite impassioned. I'm far away."
You've heard the sound, why don't you say it now? Keep going."
He Liren knew that what he had just said had indeed been heard by Duan Yu, so he went all out and gritted his teeth and stated his objections again. Of course, the words must be more tactful.
Duan Yu listened to He Liren's seemingly reasonable objections, his eyes slowly cooled down, and he said in a deep voice: "Comrade Liren said that I am from the south and do not understand the climate conditions in Liaoyuan. I do not deny it, but I think it is not important.
, What’s important is that just a dozen days ago, our city was hit by heavy rains. Because our drainage system was imperfect, the entire city was flooded, and the water flooded people’s homes!”
At this point, Duan Yu suddenly increased his tone and said seriously: "Comrades, do you know what I thought of at that time? I thought of a sentence, a city's underground drainage system represents the conscience of a city!". (To be completed.)
