Chapter VII: Bullshit Verdict
Li Xiaoning is looking for Yu Tong for the Red Star Mall. He asked Yu Tong to write a report on what he saw and heard when he went to the Red Star Shopping Mall, and then sent it out in Binhai Metropolis Daily and made a series of reports.
The report is easy to write, but Yu Tong is a little worried about whether the report will be retaliated against after it is released, and even the editor-in-chief of the newspaper will not directly refuse to publish it because of worry. Li Xiaoning said that you just have to write, you don't have to worry about other things, he has everything in his pocket.
After talking to Yu Tong on the phone, Li Xiaoning first returned to the Management Committee of the Development Zone and reported the reported matter to Zhang Yuqiang.
Zhang Yuqiang naturally understood that Li Xiaoning was planning to use the power of public opinion to put pressure on Huang Zhen, but he also understood that while putting pressure on Huang Zhen, his own pressure would follow. The relationship between Huang Zhen and Xue Guoping, the big guy actually understands it in his heart, but he just doesn't say it.
Li Xiaoning is going to wage war against Huang Zhen with a clear banner, although Xue Guoping will not intervene head-on, but as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, not to mention that Huang Zhen is not just Xue Guoping's dog, because the dog will not sleep with him.
However, Zhang Yuqiang didn't dwell on it for too long, and decided to agree with Li Xiaoning's approach. Because he promised Li Xiaoning to fully support him before, this support is not just words, it must come up with some practical actions; Second, he also felt that he should teach Huang Zhen a lesson, because of Huang Zhen, the Red Star Shopping Mall has become a headache for him, and the biggest headache for the top leaders in the country is the group **, because this is a veto. No matter how good you do other work and how great your achievements are, if you can't maintain regional harmony and stability, then everything else is in vain. Third, everyone knows the relationship between Xue Guoping and Huang Zhen, but everyone doesn't say it, because the relationship between them is not visible, since it is a relationship that cannot see the light, then as long as it is not excessive, Xue Guoping can only pretend to be deaf and dumb. That's the unspoken rule.
The next day, the report written by Yu Tong was published in Binhai Metropolis Daily, which immediately aroused a strong response from the society. It has been nearly two years since the Red Star Shopping Mall happened, but in the past two years, the people of the Red Star Shopping Mall, represented by Yu Wenhua, have been relatively restrained, and have been seeking to solve the problem through legal means. It was not until recently that group visits were organized. Therefore, although this matter is known to almost everyone in the officialdom of the development zone, the general public still does not know much about it.
Now as soon as the news is reported, the situation is immediately different. Since the beginning of China's reform and opening up, while the achievements in economic construction have exceeded expectations, the number of social contradictions and problems has also been unexpected.
At the beginning of the reform, reform and opening up, the general understanding of society was that the main reason for the many contradictions and difficulties faced by the Chinese country at that time was poverty and backward economic development, and that if economic construction was done well, these problems would be easily solved. Today, however, while tremendous achievements have been made in economic construction, contradictions and problems in the social field have increased rather than less.
Housing, education, medical care, pension and other livelihood issues are becoming increasingly prominent, the gap between the rich and the poor, the gap between urban and rural areas continues to widen, the contradictions between social interest groups such as labor-management relations are becoming increasingly apparent, and many new situations have emerged in social security.
Why is this happening? The reason for this is the ideological guidance of "not suffering from widowhood but suffering from unevenness". In other words, although there have been achievements in reform and opening up, the broad masses of the people have not enjoyed these achievements very well.
This is mainly reflected in the following: First, the proportion of wealth accumulated by the government is increasing, while the proportion of personal income is getting smaller and smaller. On the surface, it seems that the total economic volume of Huaxia is very high, but the proportion of it that really belongs to the people is not high. Second, wealth is increasingly concentrated in a small number of people, while the incomes of the workers and peasants are low. Wealth is increasingly concentrated in the hands of corporate executives, while the majority of workers have not increased their incomes and benefits commensurately. Third, the windfall profits of power capital are expanding, while the profit margins of ordinary people in small and medium-sized enterprises are being squeezed. Due to the lag in institutional reform, there is no effective restraint on power. Many officials or officials who have been approved and promoted have made a lot of money, so that enterprises with the protection of official shares have made huge profits, but at the same time, it has made it difficult for ordinary law-abiding enterprises that have done things through normal channels, and the overall operational efficiency of society has been greatly reduced.
It is precisely this social status quo that has caused a strict imbalance in the psychology of the majority of ordinary people. The consequence of psychological imbalance is hatred of the rich and hatred of officials. As a result, rights protection, anger venting and riots have occurred repeatedly. Regardless of whether the matter has anything to do with you or not, you must follow it.
Like now, after the Binhai Metropolis Daily reported on the Red Star Shopping Mall, the citizens of Binhai City have found an outlet to vent their depression. Everyone began to scramble to start criticizing Huang Zhen, and there were a few or two who knew the "inside story", and they even spread the so-called "inside information" in it, so everyone's target was Xue Guoping. Of course, the attack on the secretary of the municipal party committee can only be private.
In fact, these people did not have a direct conflict of interest in this incident at all. The big guys mainly use the topic to express their dissatisfaction and resentment against social injustice, corruption and other phenomena, purely to vent.
The development of events was even a bit unexpected for Li Xiaoning, who did not expect that the reaction of the citizens would be more fierce than he had expected, and there were even several protests and demonstrations of small scale.
The matter soon alarmed the municipal party committee and municipal government, Xue Guoping deliberately did not come forward because the matter involved Huang Zhen, and the mayor Cao Jianquan held a special work meeting very vigorously. Zhang Yuqiang, secretary of the development zone, Zhang Hui, head of the district, Liu Xiao, president of the district court, and Tan Hongliang, president of the municipal court, were all called over, and Li Xiaoning, as the initiator of this incident, was naturally one of the participants.
With Mayor Cao Jianquan taking his seat on the main seat, the special working meeting of Red Star Shopping Center was officially held. Cao Jianquan first talked about the importance of social stability, and then said to Li Xiaoning: "This thing is poked out of you, I'll listen to what you have to say first." ”
Li Xiaoning unhurriedly took out a copy of the verdict of the Red Star Mall from Wen Jiàn's folder, slapped it on his hand, glanced at the participants, and said: "Comrades, Mayor Cao just repeatedly emphasized the stability of the social and political situation, and asked us not to take it lightly. The team of the development zone also attaches great importance to this issue, and as soon as I took office, District Mayor Zhang asked me to take charge of the affairs of the Red Star Shopping Mall, which can be said to be highly concerned about this matter, so I dare not take it lightly......"
After listening to Li Xiaoning's words, the expressions of the participants were different.
The two court presidents looked uncomfortable, and said in their hearts, why is this Li Xiaoning so cunning at a young age? Mayor Cao clearly said that you Li Xiaoning exposed the incident of the Red Star Shopping Mall through public opinion, and the social instability was changed, but Li Xiaoning changed the concept with a light sentence, and it became that the social instability occurred before the exposure. What he Li Xiaoning did was actually to maintain social stability.
Zhang Hui had an itchy expression of hatred. The heart said that if you Li Xiaoning is willing to toss, you will toss. Why did you drag me into the water? Look at what Li Xiaoning said, he is doing this completely to implement the arrangement of his own district head. But he also can't say that he is suffering, because this job was originally arranged by him for Li Xiaoning. The original intention was to be embarrassed for Li Xiaoning, who would have thought that now it would become difficult for himself.
Zhang Yuqiang had a dark expression. In fact, he was ready to help Li Xiaoning bear the mistake before he came, but he didn't expect Shibei to be impressed for three days, and now Li Xiaoning is no longer the Li Xiaoning who only knows how to move forward and reckless of the consequences. Now Li Xiaoning is beginning to know how to play tricks and conspiracy. It seems that Li Xiaoning can cope with this situation by himself without having to go out on his own.
Li Xiaoning shook the copy of the verdict in his hand and said impassionedly: "What is going on in the lawsuit of the Red Star Shopping Mall, everyone probably knows it in their hearts. What everyone doesn't know is the current situation of nearly 1,000 employees in Red Star Shopping Mall. Comrades, because they lost this lawsuit, their mall was legally occupied by others, and their two-year rent was legally relied on by others, and nearly 1,000 cadres and people in the Red Star Shopping Mall can now only rely on picking up vegetable leaves in the vegetable market, picking up fish bones and fish offal thrown away by fishmongers to cook soup to increase nutrition! As he spoke, Li Xiaoning angrily slammed the copy on the table, "I really don't know how this bullshit verdict that doesn't matter whether the people live or die is made!" ”
Facing Li Xiaoning's generous statement, Liu Xiao couldn't sit still, and he suddenly stood up: "Assistant Li, it seems that your job responsibilities don't include politics and law, right?" ”
Li Xiaoning smiled coldly: "Dean Liu, do you mean that I am too lenient?" ”
Cao Jianquan knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "What are you arguing about?" What do you think this is? Dean Liu, sit down and listen to District Chief Li's words! ”
Li Xiaoning said again: "I have been to the Red Star Mall in person, I dare not say that what I see is the truth, but at least I know what I see." Comrade Yu Wenhua, the general manager of Red Star Shopping Mall, has not had a penny of wages for nearly two years, and has worked hard with nearly 1,000 employees. Before the court's verdict was handed down, Comrade Yu Wenhua had been doing his work, not only did not take the lead in conducting group visits, but also stopped several group visits. It was the bullshit verdict of the district court and the municipal intermediate court that forced Comrade Yu Wenhua to the front line! Yu Wenhua, as the secretary of the general party branch and general manager of the Red Star Shopping Mall, led the masses to conduct a group visit, of course, it was wrong, and the nature may be very strict. However, without Yu Wenhua, maybe the chaos would be even bigger, maybe the workers would have rushed into Huang Zhen's Paris Spring shopping mall and smashed it! So, I think the root of the problem is actually this bullshit verdict. ”
ps: Hey, if you don't work the first night, you won't be idle on the weekend. Make up for what you owe, make up for it. Anyway, there is still a party tonight, what should I do?
