Chapter 687: Opinions of Local Cadres
Due to work reasons, not every member of the Standing Committee could spare the time, and only four people were talked to on the first day.
Not surprisingly, with the exception of Executive Vice Mayor Jia Shangwen, everyone else believed the contents of the letter were half true and half false.
This shows that under Long Fuhai's management, Tianzhou has formed an iron-clad political alliance that excludes outside cadres.
This can be seen from the two previous mayors who were defeated in Maicheng.
Pi Dingzhong remained unmoved and continued to look for everyone's flaws, criticizing them on behalf of the provincial party committee and planting a seed of suspicion in everyone's heart.
However, this task was not as simple as Pi Dingzhong had expected. The subsequent complexity made him shudder every time he thought about it.
In the evening, Long Fuhai, on behalf of Tianzhou, hosted a banquet to entertain Pi Dingzhong and Ma Da.
After three rounds of drinks, Long Fuhai asked, "Minister Pi, you talked to several comrades today. Is there any progress?"
Pi Dingzhong glanced at Long Fuhai and smiled, "There's been no progress, but there have been quite a few surprises."
"What accident?"
"Comrade Ruijin doesn't seem very welcome here..."
Long Fuhai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "After all, he was parachuted in, so it will be a bit difficult to get used to him.
It was the same when I came down. The communication with several secretaries was not very smooth and many unpleasant things happened. This is normal.
Especially since Comrade Ruijin is from another province, and their living habits and ways of speaking are different, it will take more time for everyone to get to know each other."
Pi Dingzhong nodded. "Well, Secretary Long has some truth to it. However, Comrade Ruijin's adjustment period has taken quite a while. It's already been over three months."
The routine knocking started again, "To be honest, the provincial government is very dissatisfied. When they came down, Secretary Yu and Governor Zhao talked to me one after another and showed great concern.
Secretary Long, you should be aware of the situation in these northern cities. Time waits for no one. There are more than two million laid-off workers who are crying out for food. They don't have so much time to adjust and adapt.
Look at Beishan City next door, it's booming right now. I heard that in just these few months this year, it's already created jobs for 40,000 to 50,000 people. And then look at our Tianzhou City. Tell me, how can the province not be so anxious...?"
Long Fuhai sighed and said, "Yes, to be honest, it's all due to my negligence as the top leader. I feel sorry for the Provincial Party Committee and the organization." Then he changed the subject and said with a hint of resentment, "But then again, Minister Pi, I think the provincial government is also responsible for the situation today."
Pi Dingzhong and Mada were a little stunned by Long Fuhai's sudden and shocking remarks.
It’s really courageous to arrange it in the province!
Pi Dingzhong waved his hand, trying to interrupt, but Long Fuhai was determined to speak.
"Minister Pi, I'm drunk today. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, nor am I afraid of you reporting it to me. Today, I just want to complain to you, the head of the Organization Department, and I also hope to use your report to complain to the provincial government.
I also heard about your visit this time. I heard that you were influenced by the opinions of the exchange cadres.
Yes, it is important to exchange opinions among cadres, but should we also consider the opinions of our local cadres?
I think a big reason why our Tianzhou has not developed is that our Tianzhou leadership team has been in a period of adjustment for a long time and cannot work together.
We can also refer to the neighboring Beishan City in this regard. They were able to achieve results so quickly, isn’t it because the top two leaders are in harmony?
Looking back at our Tianzhou City, from Comrade Guan Yiming, who was the first person to work with me when I was promoted to the position of Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, to Comrade Guo Tianlei, and then to Sha Ruijin today.
I cannot say anything bad about these three people. After all, they were promoted step by step, so they must have their strengths. However, these comrades all have a shortcoming that cannot be ignored.
That's because he is too strong-willed. He completely forgot that in our country the government is led by the Party, and I, as the municipal party secretary, am the top leader.
Many of my opinions were completely ignored, especially Comrade Ruijin, who actually wanted to use the media to undermine the Municipal Party Committee. Is he still a normal mayor? Or does he want to be the top leader?
I think the province's arrangement of such a person isn't to develop Tianzhou, but rather to sideline me, Long Fuhai. If Tianzhou can only develop if I, Long Fuhai, make concessions, then fine, I'll immediately apply to the CPPCC and give up my position as soon as possible. That way, everyone will be better off. Why bother with all this drama?
Seeing that Long Fuhai was getting more and more excited and his words were becoming more and more outrageous.
Pi Dingzhong patted Long Fuhai on the shoulder and said to him, "Secretary Long, it's nothing.
You are the pillar of our Tianzhou. Tianzhou will need your continued leadership in the future. How could the Provincial Party Committee think of sidelining you? Please don't misunderstand."
Long Fuhai didn't listen to Pi Dingzhong's words of comfort, and continued to speak angrily: "Minister Pi, it would be better if you really sidelined me. This way, the comrades below won't have any wild thoughts."
Pi Dingzhong said: "What nonsense, it's all just wishful thinking."
Long Fuhai said: "This is not a random thought, Minister Pi, think about it carefully, is there any place in our Hanjiang River where there are continuous airborne troops?
Even if you want to parachute in, shouldn't the local team be adjusted? Let's talk about Comrade Shangwen. He has worked diligently in Tianzhou for ten years. He has been the deputy mayor for four years and the executive deputy mayor for six years.
Originally, after Comrade Guan Yiming left, I wanted to recommend him to take over as mayor.
But the provincial government said he was still young and needed two more years of training, so they parachuted in Comrade Guo Tianlei.
Comrade Guo Tianlei worked for two years and resigned on his own. Logically, it is time to consider Comrade Shangwen taking over.
In the end, the province still disagreed and parachuted in Sha Ruijin. So what if he was parachuted in?
According to normal procedures, since he can't be promoted locally, shouldn't he be considered for transfer to another province or to a provincial department to first resolve his departmental rank? Or perhaps he could simply go somewhere else and become a deputy secretary?
The result? He remained in the position of deputy mayor for ten years without making any move.
If he doesn't move for ten years, the people below him won't be able to move either, which indirectly affects a large number of cadres who need to be promoted.
No one has a chance of promotion, so who would still have the heart to work? Who wouldn't have wild thoughts? Once they figure it out, think it through, and finally stop wanting anything?
After Comrade Ruijin came here, he dealt with many such cadres, many of whom were influenced in this way. They were also uniformly labeled as lazy in governance by Comrade Ruijin.
Tell me, where can these comrades go to appeal for justice? Where can they raise their opinions? And who cares about their opinions?
Pi Dingzhong didn't want to discuss this sensitive issue with Long Fuhai anymore. He stood up suddenly, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then he put the glass down heavily and said angrily:
"Secretary Long, the province actually has its own considerations and ideas, which we are not aware of. Even if we don't understand, we must still talk about principles and party spirit. This is the basic ethics of a party member."
