Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 688 Sha Ruijin's Worry

Realizing that he had said too much, Long Fuhai pushed Pi Dingzhong back to his position.

"It's my fault, it's my fault, Minister Pi, I apologize to you."

As he said this, Long Fuhai drank three cups in a row and apologized sincerely.

Pi Dingzhong's expression improved a little. "Secretary Long, I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said. Please don't say anything more. These matters are not for me to decide. If you have any opinions, you can report them directly to the provincial government."

"Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore."

After a few more drinks, Long Fuhai turned the topic to Beishan. As if just remembering something, he asked Ma Da, "Team Leader Ma, I heard that the higher-ups are planning to transfer you to Beishan?"

Ma Da was shocked. How did the other party know this?

But on second thought, he understood where the other party's information came from.

Only a few people knew that he was transferred to Beishan.

Apart from Qi Tongwei, only Yu Huabei knew about it.

Qi Tongwei had just arrived and was not familiar with Long Fuhai, so he would definitely not spread rumors. The other party must have gotten the news from Yu Huabei.

After all, if Yu Huabei wanted to transfer him to Beishan as deputy secretary, he would definitely need to exchange views with some members of the Standing Committee, especially the Minister of Organization.

Minister Qin of the Organization Department is a provincial leader stationed in Tianzhou and has close contacts with Tianzhou, so it is normal that the news was passed down.

Before he could even begin to think about it, Ma Da cautiously denied it, saying, "I don't know anything about this. Actually, whether it's Wenshan or Beishan, it's the same for me wherever I work. We're all bricks in the revolution."

Long Fuhai laughed heartily, "Team Leader Ma, you're right." He then said meaningfully, half-jokingly, "However, Team Leader Ma, that mayor is no less capable than Comrade Ruijin. You'd better be careful."

Long Fuhai's words made Pi Dingzhong and Mada frown at the same time.

Pi Dingzhong was worried that the other party would turn the topic back to Tianzhou and act "drunk".

Ma Da was because of Qi Tongwei, his future boss.

Ever since he learned from Yu Huabei that he was going to Beishan, his mind had already flown to Beishan.

During this period, I tried to learn about the situation in Beishan, and even took the time to secretly go there to conduct some research.

Through secret visits, he was shocked by the situation in Beishan.

He was surprised by the state of the staff in various units in the government hall.

The passionate slogans and efficient work efficiency are unmatched anywhere else, including the provincial capital.

A glimpse of the local chief's governing style can be understood through a few examples.

Qi Tongwei is simply the best superior in his mind.

If he went to Beishan, he would be in the spotlight. How could he plot against Qi Tongwei for no reason?

In official circles, news spreads the fastest, and he doesn't want to offend the new leader before he even takes office.

Feeling that Long Fuhai was setting a trap for him, Ma Da retorted unhappily, "Secretary Long, I have a completely different opinion from you. I think he's a good person. As long as a mayor can develop the local area, that's better than flattery or anything like that.

Whether it's easy to get along with each other or not is secondary. What do you think?

Especially in these cities in the north, where the secretaries don't have strong financial capabilities, if the mayors aren't strong enough, things will end up being neither here nor there, and everyone might end up getting punished."

Pi Dingzhong raised the corner of his mouth and secretly gave Ma Da a thumbs up.

Long Fuhai felt a little embarrassed and regretted it in his heart. Why did he hint to this person? He was so young and naive that he even dared to make up stories about the executive vice governor, let alone him.

Long Fuhai raised his glass and laughed, "That does make some sense. Come on, leaders, let's have another toast."

After clinking glasses, Long Fuhai took over the conversation with emotion:

"Team Leader Ma is right. As long as the mayor has outstanding economic capabilities, everything else comes second.

To be honest, if Comrade Qi Tongwei came to Tianzhou to be the mayor, I would also fully support him.

Even if I, the municipal party secretary, were to listen to him, I would have nothing to say, because his financial ability is indeed outstanding.

Several major projects have been launched one after another, with great fanfare. I heard that someone recently siphoned several hundred million yuan into Hangang to jointly develop a silicon steel project. That's boldness."

He forgot his previous promise and mentioned Sha Ruijin, "Unfortunately, our mayor is far from being good enough. He can shake up the whole province and the whole country and attract the economy to the city.

One of them only knows how to mess around in the city, bringing a group of reporters with him, exposing this and holding that accountable all day long. Are they really incomparable?

Some time ago, there was even a proposal to close the coal mines in the Black Triangle Development Zone.

Minister Pi, you have visited Tianzhou many times and you should know that the coal mines in the Black Triangle are the economic pillar of Tianzhou.

This was something I proposed a few years ago. Tianzhou's economy has remained stable over the years, and the Black Triangle Development Zone has made an indelible contribution to this.

If it is closed, not to mention the economic losses, who knows how many people will lose their places to eat.

Especially in today's economic transformation, the city already has a big problem of solving the food problem. If the Black Triangle Coal Mine is closed, tens of thousands of families will go hungry.

Can you two tell me, is this something a mayor who is in charge of the economy would do?

What mayor develops the economy this way? It's putting the cart before the horse."

Pi Dingzhong originally didn't want to pay attention to the other party's topic, but when he heard that it involved Tianzhou Coal Mining Industry, he couldn't help but ponder for a moment.

Then he measured Sha Ruijin's actions from his own perspective and still agreed with Long Fuhai's point of view.

No matter what, the economy must come first, and everything else must give way to the economy.

If the Black Triangle Coal Mine is closed, the employment burden on the people of Tianzhou will be even greater.

……

In the guesthouse, Sha Ruijin stood by the window, looking at the dark clouds in the night, his brows furrowed.

Ye Mei handed over a cup of hot tea and said, "Mayor Sha, you should have entertained Minister Pi with Long Fuhai. Even if you didn't try to please him, you could have put some restrictions on Long Fuhai. Now is a critical moment. What if someone breaks the rules and says something bad about you..."

Sha Ruijin took the tea, took a sip, continued to observe the weather and said: "He, Long Fuhai, can go, but I can't go, because I want to avoid suspicion.

It seems like they're investigating this complaint, but in reality, it's like they're investigating me, Sha Ruijin. If I go there, people will question the investigation team and say we're protecting each other."

Ye Mei said: "If that's the case, then you don't have to worry about it. Worrying about it won't change the outcome."

Sha Ruijin turned around and looked at Ye Mei. "Reporter Ye, you misunderstood. I'm not upset about this matter. To be honest, my personal honor and disgrace are not worth mentioning. What I'm really worried about is the situation at the Tianzhou Black Triangle Coal Mine."

He pointed to the dark, overcast night outside and said, "In this weather, there might be a heavy rain. If it rains too heavily, the Black Triangle Coal Mine might be in big trouble."

Ye Mei said, "Isn't the Black Triangle Coal Mine closed?"

Sha Ruijin said: "They are closed, but only the fourth and fifth category coal mines are closed. Category one, two, and three are not closed. I have also visited these coal mines and found that quite a few of them have no measures in place, posing great safety risks."

Reporter Ye said: "This is the only solution. You have tried your best. It is not easy to force Long Fuhai to this point."
