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! Before, because Secretary Qiu, you had to engage in free public transportation and free heating, our city's finances were under great pressure, and several projects that had already been approved were suspended, but now they are going to embark on such a big new project, and if this continues, our city's finances will be ruined... ...."
Qiu Pengfei saw that He Liren was so impatient to jump out and sing the opposite, frowned and forced his anger to suppress his anger and said: "Mayor Liren, there is a problem with what you say, what do you mean that the city's finances are going to be 'defeated'? Why do you want to engage in free public transportation and free heating, and what are the benefits for the future development of our city? 'Loser secretary', I can be ignorant and ignorant of such nonsense, but Comrade Liren, as the mayor, are you as ignorant as those people? Or do you say that such rumors are simply from you... ...
He Liren was countered by Qiu Pengfei, and waved his hand angrily and said: "Secretary Qiu, you have no basis, don't talk nonsense, how can I be the one who spreads rumors... ...?
Qiu Pengfei also scratched his head a little, this time and the last time to discuss free public transport, free heating is different, free public transport, free heating can be regarded as a project to benefit the people, his own secretary of the municipal party committee can intervene, but this time the underground drainage system tourism project is more of a government management category, if He Liren, the mayor, insists on opposing it to the end, it is almost impossible for the secretary of the municipal party committee to bypass him on the Standing Committee to pass this project, and he will also leave the excuse that he interferes too much in the affairs of the municipal government.
At this time, Qiu Pengfei was not good at blindly being tough, and patiently explained: "Comrade Liren, it's not that I want to meddle too much in the affairs of your municipal government, this project was proposed by Governor Duan last time when I accompanied Governor Duan to Dongcheng District to investigate the underground drainage system, and you happened to be absent that day, Governor Duan asked me to make the feasibility report and preliminary budget of the project first, if the Standing Committee discusses and approves it today, the specific operation of the project must be operated by your municipal government..."
This is actually a concession by Qiu Pengfei in disguise, 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 carried out, then it is not impossible to hand it over to He Liren to operate the specific operation, so that the project is successful, and the political achievements are also He Liren's share. There is no way around it, politics requires compromise, and Qiu Pengfei has to make such concessions if he wants the project to pass the Standing Committee.
He Liren regarded Qiu Pengfei's concession as a sign of weakness, and pouted a little carried away: " Secretary Qiu, don't move Governor Duan out to press me, Governor Duan is a southerner, I don't know the climate of our Liaoyuan, our Liaoyuan Province is dry and rainless, like the previous flood disaster has not been touched once in decades, there is no need to build such a huge underground drainage project, it is purely a labor and loss of money, as for the use of tourism projects, everyone knows that it is a gimmick, and now there are many projects in the country to engage in this kind of artificial landscape, how many of them are successful? Besides, why should we Chinese people learn from Japan, devils, is it possible that the moon in Japan is rounder?... ...
At this time, the door of the conference room suddenly opened, Duan Yu walked in, the Standing Committee members were taken aback, and quickly stood up to greet them, Duan Yu waved his hand and smiled: "I heard that you are discussing the underground drainage system tourism project, I am very interested in this project, so come and listen, you don't have to worry about me, continue to discuss ... ...."
Originally, Qiu Pengfei was going to give up his place to Duan Yu to sit, but Duan Yu held him down, so he only asked Li Shuping to move a chair and put it in the corner of the conference room, and sat on it by himself, and he really looked like he was coming to listen.
The Standing Committee members looked at each other, and the fools could see that Duan Yu was here to help Qiu Pengfei stand on the platform, but behind He Liren stood 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 Duan Yu, the governor, but he had been working in Liaoyuan Province for many years, and it was not easy to offend.
Seeing that no one was talking, Duan Yu smiled slightly and said, "Why don't everyone speak? The Standing Committee just wants to speak freely, and only collective discussion and collective decision-making can reflect the principle of our party's democratic centralism..."
The members of the Standing Committee all smiled bitterly, and said in their hearts, who of us dare to speak if you are a great god sitting here, especially He Liren's heart is even more unnatural, what he just said Duan Yu heard most of them outside the door, although he has Gu Zhigao's support, and he is not afraid that Duan Yu will give him small shoes, but when his boss arrives in person, he is still a little weak in his heart.
Duan Yu saw that no one was willing to speak, so he turned his gaze to He Liren, who had an unnatural face, and said with a smile: "Comrade Liren, you were speaking when I came in just now, it seems to be quite impassioned, I heard the voice from afar, why don't you say it now?
He Liren knew that what he said just now had indeed been heard by Duan Yu, so he let it go, gritted his teeth and said his objections again, of course, the words must be much more tactful.
Duan Yu listened to He Liren's seemingly reasonable objections, his eyes slowly cooled, and he said in a deep voice: "Comrade Liren said that I am from the south and do not understand the climate of Liaoyuan, I don't deny it, but I don't think it's important, the important thing is that just ten days ago, our city was hit by heavy rain, because our drainage system was imperfect, and the whole city was waterlogged, and the water flooded to the people's homes... ...."
Speaking of this, Duan Yu suddenly aggravated his tone and said heavily: "Comrades, do you know what I thought of at that time? I thought of a sentence, a city's underground drainage system represents a city's conscience ... ...."
