Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 601: Hatred

Just when everyone wanted to ask Hu Youde if he had any good ideas, the cell phone on Hu Youde's waist rang.

Hu Youde took out his phone and looked at it, then quickly waved and shushed everyone, "It's Secretary Lin's."

When they heard that it was the old secretary, everyone put down their wine glasses and chopsticks tacitly.

After a while, the private room became silent and one could hear breathing.

After making sure there were no more unusual sounds, Hu Youde answered the call, "Hello, Secretary Lin."

"Youde, where are you?" On the phone, Lin Gangjian was as amiable as usual, just like his care and love for cadres like them over the years.

To use Lin Gangjian's words, we are all comrades, we must unite and be harmonious!

Hu Youde sighed and said, "Secretary Lin, I was at home. I was in a bad mood and drank a little alone. You heard about it, right?"

"Yeah, I heard that you are too impulsive."

Hu Youde said, "Secretary Lin, you have a clear understanding of what Zhu Hongwen has become. He is a running dog of the capitalist roaders and a traitor. If we don't resist, we will be wiped out."

Lin Gangjian laughed heartily. "That's no nonsense. Under the leadership of the Red Star Party, there are no capitalist-roaders left."

Hu Youde said: "That's the gangster thug, the chameleon!"

"Hahaha." Lin Gangjian was amused. "You put a really bad label on me. No, no, no, I think it's just a 'messenger' at most."

Hu Youde quickly added, "Not only is he a messenger, he's also a fence-sitter."

"Okay, okay, Youde, I won't say any more. No matter if he's a chameleon or a fence-sitter, he's still your deputy mayor, a member of the municipal standing committee, a city leader. Shouldn't we respect him?

What will the other city leaders think if they embarrass the city leaders in public?

Hu Youde heard that Secretary Lin wanted to smooth things over.

"Secretary Lin, you may not know much about this matter."

"What's there to not understand? It's just that they are dissatisfied with their superiors and are going on strike," Lin Gangjian pointed out.

Hu Youde was stunned for a long moment before he stammered, "Secretary Lin, since you know this, then don't interfere."

Lin Gangjian said, "It's precisely because we know this that we should stand up. You and Mayor Hong Wen are both old comrades of Hanjiang. We can't have internal strife. We need unity and harmony."

Hu Youde said, "Secretary Lin, you should persuade Deputy Mayor Zhu to abandon his evil ways and join the good."

"Abandon the dark and join the light? Then let me ask you, who is the dark? Who is the light?" Lin Gangjian's tone suddenly became stern, with both accusations and self-blame: "Can our comrades in Beishan take a longer-term view, huh?

Comrade Tong Wei came up with this rotation system. Essentially, we have to say that it is a good policy. At the very least, it has really reduced the burden on our Beishan City, right?

Youde, think carefully about this: how much does the annual fiscal expenditure for all our city's Party and government officials, including public servants, amount to? I tell you, we've long been outspending.

In a word, we are all leeches sucking blood from the common people.

Now, Beishan is undergoing drastic reforms and needs us, so shouldn't we step forward and contribute? It will only take a few years and it will be over if we hold on.

No matter what, we can't let others look down on our Beishan leaders, right?"

Although Hu Youde was shocked by the scolding, he still said with some unwillingness: "Secretary Lin, there is nothing wrong with contributing our strength. Even if we go to plow the fields, it's fine. But being driven to the south, how can this be considered contributing?

To be honest, Secretary Lin, think about it, how many of these comrades who are going to the south are willing to go? If they can really make a fortune, just wait and see, will they come back?

This rotation system sounds like it has a lot of advantages, but in my opinion it's just a gimmick. We don't know how many comrades will leave by then, so how can we maintain unity and harmony?

Lin Gangjian was really irritated by Hu Youde's stupid brain. Chinese people believe in returning home in glory. If they become really rich, why don't they return to promote the development of their hometown?

I'm afraid Qi Tongwei is hoping that all these people can leave Beishan City, which will not only reduce the burden on the people, but also boost the economy.

He can't even understand such a simple truth. How did this guy become the secretary of that leader?

Lin Gangjian said, "Okay, these are not your concerns. Regardless, the way you're addressing the issue is problematic. You need a legitimate reason and proper channels to address it."

"Secretary Lin, the city is now dominated by the 'opposition' and 'fence-sitters'. How can there be any legitimate channels for feedback?"

Lin Gangjian was displeased: "What? Am I also a 'reactionary' and a 'fence-sitter'?"

Hu Youde said, "Of course you are not." But he cursed in his heart: You are just a coward at best.

Lin Gangjian felt quite comfortable listening to this, and put on the attitude of a patriarch again, "Then you should come to me for feedback. Although I am about to retire, I will still stand guard for the last time. No one can dominate Beishan alone."

Hu Youde asked tentatively with some anticipation, "So what do you mean...?"

Are you ready to raise the flag and lead everyone to defeat the reactionaries?

"Go apologize to Mayor Hongwen, preferably in public."

Hu Youde was greatly disappointed. "That won't do, Secretary Lin. I just slammed the table with him and now I'm running to apologize. How can I still maintain my dignity? How am I going to survive in Beishan City in the future?"

Lin Gangjian snorted and laughed, "Face? How much is face worth? If you don't go, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass this test, and dismissal would be the least of your worries."

Hu Youde said, "I still don't believe it. Can Zhu Hongwen remove me from my position?"

Lin Gangjian said: "He can't withdraw, but Qi Tongwei can withdraw, and He Anxia can withdraw too. You should know what kind of background He Anxia has. Qi Tongwei just got 5 billion investment. Now the two of them are in the limelight. Think about it, can your old leader protect you?

I remind you, they need a chicken to scare the monkeys now, so you must not become that chicken.

You'd better go and apologize to Mayor Hong Wen now. I will help you with the city government and put this matter behind us."

These words made Hu Youde feel a little guilty, but when he turned around and saw the cadres of all ranks present, his boasts still echoing in his ears, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Secretary Lin, even if you remove me from my position and expel me from the Party, I cannot go.

You know, this isn't just my problem. If I went, I'm afraid everyone would just stew my 200-pound body."

Lin Gangjian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You, after all, it's all about face. Okay, I, an old man, can be a stepping stone for you, okay?

Just say this is my order, and respect the elders and care for the young. As for the issues they raised, comrades with opinions can express them to me in writing or in person. I will definitely give everyone a satisfactory result."

This step was indeed given to Hu Youde, and he felt embarrassed to insist any longer, so he agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Hu Youde spread his hands and looked at everyone, "Everyone, Secretary Lin has come forward, I can't but give him face."

Lin Gangjian has a high prestige among party and government officials, and no one has any objections.

"That's good. Since Secretary Lin is willing to stand up, we now have a backbone."

"Yes, since he is here, let's follow his lead and cheer."
