Chapter 780 Tian Fengyi, the Official Seeker (2)
As he spoke, Tian Fengyi looked distraught. He took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth and lit it.
“My old boss always criticizes me for not making progress at work. How could he understand my difficulties?
You are also a mayor, and you should know that without sufficient voice, even if you have thousands of ideas and plans, you will not be able to move forward.
Take last month's people's livelihood project for example. Our municipal government worked overtime for several consecutive days, repeatedly discussing and polishing the plan. However, when it was brought to the Standing Committee meeting, because Comrade Zhuangfu was in poor health, the other Standing Committee members could not reach a consensus, and it was finally stuck at a critical link, causing all efforts to go to waste.
To be honest, Comrade Zhuangfu is an upright person and has worked diligently and responsibly over the years. I respect him from the bottom of my heart.
But what we are doing is to benefit the local people, and health is the foundation of doing things and starting businesses!
If he could be allowed to retire to the second line to recuperate, it would not only be responsible for his personal health, but also consider the future of Wenshan.
However, I must also make it clear here that I don't want to be the top leader by letting him step back. If it really doesn't work out, you can assign another young and capable leading cadre to our Wenshan.
But it would be best if you were familiar with all aspects of Wenshan." He paused, "For example, if you were to become the Party Secretary of Wenshan, I would have no objection."
Qi Tongwei laughed. He found that Tian Fengyi was really interesting. He was a true exposé of the officialdom.
He spoke with great emotion and sincerity, and those who didn't know him might have thought he was a good official who cared about the country and the people.
In fact, his words and deeds were all meant to flatter Liu Zhuangfu, hoping to squeeze Liu Zhuangfu out and become the municipal party secretary himself.
Although Liu Zhuangfu's health is not very good, I believe he is not unable to bear the burden of a city's party secretary. If it were that serious, the provincial party committee would be replaced without Tian Fengyi saying anything.
As for what the other party said about being familiar with Wenshan? Isn't he the only one who is familiar with Wenshan and suitable?
Letting Qi Tongwei be the municipal party secretary is even more nonsense. Let alone whether Qi Tongwei will go or not, even if he wants to go, the level issue cannot be solved. After all, a deputy director cannot lead a director.
Qi Tongwei had no time to play dumb with him and directly exposed the other party's little thoughts and said: "Old Tian, don't waste your time. No matter what, in our Hanjiang, if you want to get promoted, your performance must be the first priority. If you don't have performance, it's useless even if you talk about it.
Even if Secretary Liu retires due to health reasons, I don't think you have much hope.
In fact, we can think about it from another perspective. Have you ever thought that you are now the most comfortable mayor among all prefecture-level cities?
Secretary Liu’s poor health doesn’t mean that he can’t control you or compete with you for power, right?
Oh, and isn't that Ma Da coming to our city too? Who in your city can stop you from doing things in the future? There's no need to replace Comrade Zhuang Fu.
Tian Fengyi said angrily: "Tongwei, I don't like what you said. Who said I don't have any achievements?
Didn’t you take my grades? Let’s talk about that power plant…”
"Hey, stop it, Old Tian. When did I say this wasn't your achievement? Didn't I tell you that you'd host the ribbon-cutting ceremony? From now on, everything that appears will be yours. You're being a little hurtful now."
Tian Fengyi opened his mouth but didn't say anything, thinking: What kind of result is that?
He is the mayor, not the chairman, so it doesn't matter where the company is located.
What does a mayor do? Isn't he in charge of the city's territory? If the property isn't on his territory, how can it belong to him?
At this point, he couldn't do anything about Qi Tongwei. Whether he built the power plant or not, Qi Tongwei had to build it.
When the two compete, Wenshan will definitely not be able to match Beishan in scale, so they have to make concessions.
He also thought about using coal mines to restrict Qi Tongwei's power plant, but this was not easy to do.
First, he wasn't the top leader, and didn't have the same powerful voice as Qi Tongwei did at Beishan. Would the other members of the Standing Committee agree to him going against Beishan? Would the higher-ups agree to him going against Beishan? They definitely wouldn't.
Now Beishan has been positioned as a provincial sub-center. If I dare to do so and stop the development of Beishan, I will definitely be targeted by the higher-ups.
Seeing that Tian Fengyi didn't say anything, Qi Tongwei took out the article about the Asian Cable Factory that he had read in yesterday's newspaper.
"Hey, Old Tian, speaking of achievements, I remembered something. What's going on with the Asia Cable Factory? I heard the relevant departments in Wenshan are investigating this cable factory."
Tian Fengyi replied nonchalantly, "Oh, this cable factory sold us a batch of substandard products, which affected some municipal projects in the city, so we have someone investigating."
Qi Tongwei asked: "What's the impact? Is it significant?"
Tian Fengyi said carelessly, "It's neither big nor small. Why are you asking, Tongwei?"
"Of course it's about my grades. They're planning to invest and build a factory in our Beishan District. They were recommended by Governor Anbang, but you're actually investigating them. Yesterday, I asked about it, and now the construction and recruitment of the steel mill invested by the Asia Cable Factory in our city has been completely halted.
This shutdown and hiring freeze will leave many workers jobless, which will have a significant impact. I think if it's not a major problem, let it go."
Tian Fengyi said: "Tongwei, don't blame me for not giving you face in this matter. This cable is not an ordinary thing. It is related to the major issues of civil administration and people's livelihood. If there is a quality problem, the consequences will be very serious. I advise you not to intervene."
Qi Tongwei laughed and said, "What civil affairs and livelihood issues? You sound a bit scary, don't you? Nothing has happened yet. Just ask him to replace them or return the money. I know that Wu Yazhou has a close relationship with our Anbang Governor. Don't make a scene and make things look bad."
Tian Fengyi was stunned. "Tongwei, you are using the Anbang governor to pressure me. No, which side are you on? You can't just throw away your principles and bottom line for an investment."
Tian Fengyi almost said that Qi Tongwei was two-timing.
Qi Tongwei paused and retorted, "Who said I don't have principles or bottom lines? I'm reminding you that if it's a small matter, it's better not to hold on to it. It's not good for you."
Tian Fengyi suddenly laughed, "Tongwei, do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?
I can tell you with certainty that there is definitely a problem with Wu Yazhou's cable. As for how big the problem is, I don't know yet.
To be honest, I came here today to report this issue. I advise you, brother, to pay attention to your own position and not interfere in this matter."
