Chapter 440: The lesser of two evils
After listening to Su Yunqiao's unreasonable words, Meng Weishan's smoking hand couldn't help but tremble slightly! A violent sense of horror suddenly swept over his heart, and it gripped his heart like a ghost hand, almost crushing his heart!
Although Meng Weishan would not believe what Su Yunqiao said at all, "This is not only a protection for Yao Zhilin, but also a protection for our county party committee", he had to admit that Su Yunqiao's words were indeed reasonable!
Some time ago, after he received the report letter against Yao Zhilin, he felt that it was not a big deal, so he directly destroyed the report letter, and after that, he also left this matter behind, as if this matter had passed.
However, today, after listening to Su Yunqiao's analysis, he was horrified to find that this matter did not pass with him destroying the report letter, in fact, there was still a huge hidden danger.
This hidden danger is the whistleblower!
Su Yunqiao is right, since the person who reported Yao Zhilin knows so much about Yao Zhilin's situation, then he is likely to be the person next to Yao Zhilin, and this person is very resentful of Yao Zhilin, if Yao Zhilin is really selected as a candidate for the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee this time, then it is very likely to anger this person, which will lead to his re-reporting!
Judging from the fact that this person was able to easily hand over this letter to several of their county party committee leaders, this person should be very familiar with the channels for reporting, so he will definitely have the opportunity to send this report letter to the relevant units in the city.
In this way, he really harmed Yao Zhilin.
Of course, Meng Weishan didn't really care if he would harm Yao Zhilin, what he was worried about was that he would burn himself and eventually harm himself!
Now, Secretary Qin has clearly criticized his ability to control his ability, so if he makes such a big fuss about recommending candidates for the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, it is conceivable that Secretary Qin's impression of him will definitely plummet!
Meng Weishan found out with sadness that now he has fallen into a dilemma: recommend Yao Zhilin, I am afraid it will cause a chain reaction; Don't recommend Yao Zhilin, but he has made it clear to Secretary Qin today that he will recommend Yao Zhilin, if the candidate who is finally handed in is not Yao Zhilin, then what will Secretary Qin think?
Meng Weishan suddenly regretted it, if he hadn't been quick to talk today, and clearly told Secretary Qin that he was going to recommend Yao Zhilin, but just said that he was just recommending one person to come up, then there would still be a certain amount of room for maneuver, and it would be a big deal to find someone else to recommend him in the end.
What Meng Weishan regretted even more was that in fact, when he was about to recommend Yao Zhilin as a candidate for the Standing Committee of the county party committee, Li Tongtong reminded him of this, but he didn't know what to think at the time, and he didn't take Li Tongtong's reminder as a thing at all, and after that, Li Tongtong never mentioned this matter again.
If he had been able to wake up a little more about this matter at that time, if Li Yitong had been able to mention this matter to him again, maybe he would not have fallen into the current dilemma!
At this moment, Meng Weishan suddenly felt that he had fallen into a bottomless pit, and he didn't know how to climb out!
After a violent inner struggle, he finally decided to have a frank talk with Su Yunqiao, and then asked Su Yunqiao's opinion.
"Lao Su, you're right, since Yao Zhilin has such a big problem, if you continue to recommend him as a candidate for the Standing Committee of the county party committee, there is indeed a big hidden danger. But...... When I went to the city today, I had already told Secretary Qin that I was going to recommend Yao Zhilin as a candidate for the Standing Committee of the county party committee. So what do you say, now? ”
"What? You have already told Secretary Qin that you are ready to recommend Yao Zhilin? ”
Su Yunqiao's tone was full of surprise, but he was secretly laughing in his heart. In fact, he was not surprised at all that Meng Weishan had already told Qin Zhitao that he was going to recommend Yao Zhilin, although this was a violation, but it was actually very common at work.
The reason why he deliberately said this in a surprised tone was because he wanted to make Meng Weishan ugly!
Thinking of Meng Weishan's comment on calligraphy just now, the pretending and forcing appearance of "vertical and horizontal, who else can I be", he especially wanted to see Meng Weishan deflated, this is definitely a very happy picture.
Meng Weishan smiled awkwardly, but calmly admitted his mistake, and said: "I really blame me for this, mainly because I didn't know that Yao Zhilin would be in such a situation at that time!" Lao Su, what should I do if you say that the current situation is now? ”
Su Yunqiao pondered for a moment and said: "Recommend Yao Zhilin, I'm afraid that something will happen, I don't recommend Yao Zhilin, I'm afraid that Secretary Qin will be unhappy." Alas! Secretary Meng, this question is really stumped for me! ”
Meng Weishan said unrelentingly: "No, Lao Su, you have to come up with an opinion!" We're old buddies, and if you don't give me an idea at such a critical time, who can give me an idea? ”
Su Yunqiao smiled bitterly and said, "Secretary Meng, you really think so highly of me!" It's not that I don't want to share your worries, but I don't know what to do! ”
"And if I leave this matter to you, what are you going to do?" Meng Weishan said like a scoundrel.
"Secretary Meng, aren't you embarrassed for me!"
"This is a special case, and I have to embarrass for you! Lao Su, if this matter is handed over to you to deal with, what are you going to do? ”
Su Yunqiao didn't want to worry about Meng Weishan at all, he wished that Meng Weishan would be deflated by Qin Zhitao. However, he also knew that with Meng Weishan's indomitable energy, if he didn't give Meng Weishan an answer, then Meng Weishan would definitely not be finished.
So, what should we do?
Suddenly! Su Yunqiao had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and thought of a good way to get the best of both worlds!
Originally, he was also in a dilemma, either offending Meng Weishan, which would destroy the overall cooperation they had created for a long time; Either offend Tao Yuanjing, which will not only lose a beautiful lover and person, but also lose a very important partner!
Of these two roads, Su Yunqiao really doesn't want to choose either one.
However, he had no choice, the lesser of two evils, he finally chose to offend Meng Weishan and maintain his relationship with Tao Yuanjing.
However, now he suddenly has a very good idea, he can not offend Meng Weishan or Tao Yuanjing, and even deepen the relationship with the two of them at the same time!
Moreover, he believed that his plan would definitely succeed!
Thinking of this, Su Yunqiao was so happy that his eyebrows were about to dance! The excitement in my heart is like a surging river, endless!
However, Su Yunqiao still forced himself to calm down! Although he is confident, his plan will be successful. However, success alone is not enough, it must also be perfect!
He had seen an American movie called "The Godfather", in which the male protagonist, mafia boss Vito Corleone, said that if a person is generous, then he must show his generosity with affection.
Su Yunqiao admired this sentence very much, and now, he also wanted to show his generosity to Meng Weishan and Tao Yuanjing full of feelings!
Oh, and he forgot about someone, Chen Mingyu.
As the biggest beneficiary of this incident, if he didn't seize this opportunity to return Chen Mingyu's favor to Chen Mingyu who saved him at that time, then he wouldn't be Su Yunqiao!
Although he was very excited in his heart, on the surface, he was as quiet as ever, and even deliberately made a bitter appearance, saying: "Secretary Meng, since you have to let me say it, then I will tell me what I think." But don't be angry if I'm wrong. ”
"Good! Good! Just say it! Meng Weishan urged anxiously.
Su Yunqiao cleared his throat and said, "Let's not discuss this topic at the Standing Committee tomorrow, okay?" ”
Meng Weishan immediately shook his head and said, "No! Secretary Qin has already urged me several times, and I have already told Secretary Qin that tomorrow's Standing Committee will confirm this matter. So, this topic must be discussed tomorrow, and the candidates must be identified! ”
Su Yunqiao nodded, and said: "There is one more point, I have to let you confirm first, if Yao Zhilin is still recommended according to the plan, then can you accept the serious risks that this matter may bring?" ”
Meng Weishan took a few puffs of cigarette silently and said, "Unless you can guarantee that Yao Zhilin will not be in trouble, you ......"
Meng Weishan didn't finish his words, but the meaning was obvious, that is, he couldn't accept the risk brought by Yao Zhilin's accident.
"Secretary Meng, I understand what you mean. Now, let me sort out the current situation. First, tomorrow's Standing Committee must be convened, and the candidates must be clearly defined. Second, if you can't guarantee that Yao Zhilin won't have an accident, then you can't recommend Yao Zhilin, right? Su Yunqiao analyzed.
Although Meng Weishan felt that Su Yunqiao's words were a bit tongue-twisting, the meaning was not wrong, so he nodded.
A fleeting smug smile flashed on Su Yunqiao's face, and then he said with a serious face: "Judging from the current situation, I think ...... You can only choose the lesser of two evils! ”
"The lesser of two evils? How to take it? Meng Weishan raised his eyebrows.
"I don't recommend Yao Zhilin, I will recommend it by another person, and it will be determined at tomorrow's Standing Committee, and then sent to the Municipal Party Committee." Su Yunqiao said in a firm tone.
Meng Weishan's face changed, and he said, "But I have clearly told Secretary Qin that I want to recommend Yao Zhilin." If it is replaced by someone else, Secretary Qin, how can I explain? ”
Su Yunqiao still said in that firm tone: "I understand. However, I think that if you change the person to recommend it, there may be two results: first, Secretary Qin will be angry and feel that you did not recommend other people according to the plan; Second, Secretary Qin didn't take this matter to heart. If you recommended Yao Zhilin according to the plan, there are also two results: first, that person did not report Yao Zhilin again, and the plan was successful; Second, that person continued to report Yao Zhilin, and Secretary Qin found out that we recommended a cadre with such a big problem, which would inevitably cause thunder and anger. Therefore, both of these schemes, there are uncertainties, and they are not a perfect scheme. However, if we choose the first plan, we can still control the situation in our hands, but if we choose the second plan, the situation is not in our hands, and to put it mildly, we will have to resign ourselves to fate. Who is the day? The person who will report Yao Zhilin at any time is Tian. That's why I say, the lesser of two evils. ”
"If we choose the first option, how can we control the situation? If you choose the second option, why not? Meng Weishan asked.
"If you choose the first plan, when you report the new candidate to Secretary Qin, you can also tell Secretary Qin that someone has reported Yao Zhilin, and you can even take this report letter to Secretary Qin, and then explain to Secretary Qin that with the current situation, it is not suitable to recommend Yao Zhilin, so the second candidate is recommended. In this way, I shouldn't be too angry with Secretary Qin, so I said that the situation is still under our control. However, if we choose the second option, we can't control whether that person will continue to report Yao Zhilin, this is a *, and the button is still in the hands of a person we don't know. Therefore, the situation is out of our control. Su Yunqiao explained carefully.
Meng Weishan took a big sip of cigarette while silently thinking about Su Yunqiao's words.
After thinking about it for about half a minute, he was very helpless to find that every word Su Yunqiao said was right!
And Su Yunqiao was also anxiously waiting for Meng Weishan to make a final decision at this time, although he thought that for anyone with a calm mind, he would definitely choose the first option.
But is Meng Weishan a calm person? On the whole, he is a calm person.
However, Su Yunqiao also knew that Meng Weishan was actually a very gambling person!
People who gamble very hard have a sense of adventure, and there is also a strong luck mentality!
Su Yunqiao was really worried that Meng Weishan was anxious, ruthless, and made an irrational choice.
So, Su Yunqiao decided to "help" him again, and said: "Secretary Meng, in fact, the situation is already obvious, choosing the first plan is the best choice for all of us!" The Standing Committee will be convened tomorrow, and you must make up your mind as soon as possible, so that we can seize the time to arrange the following work! Secretary Meng, when the judgment continues, it will be chaotic! ”
Meng Weishan took one last puff of his cigarette, then slammed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, and finally said, "Okay, just choose the first plan!" ”
