After reading the weather forecast in the hotel room, Ma Wanli made a phone call to the hotel switchboard and instructed the operator to help him get through Changjiang and find Qian Yiwei, secretary of the Changjiang Municipal Party Committee, to listen to the phone. While waiting for the call, Sun Yadong knocked on the door and came in, saying that he wanted to report to work. After Ma Wanli asked Sun Yadong to sit down, he listened to it from time to time, his heart was still on the water situation of the Changjiang River, and his eyes looked at the orange telephone on the table from time to time.

Sun Yadong noticed Ma Wanli's absent-mindedness, so he said: "Secretary Ma, if you are busy, I will go back first, and I will go to the provincial capital another day to make a work report to you......

Ma Wanli then concentrated, waved his hand and said: "No, no, Comrade Gao Changhe has just taken office, there are a lot of things, and you don't have to go to the provincial capital if you don't have any major events." Oh, Yadong, you say, you say! ”

Sun Yadong had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Secretary Ma, the work in Pingyang can really be said to be complicated, and from the perspective of my supervisor, the focus is still on anti-corruption and clean government. Now it seems that the situation is more favorable, Comrade Changhe took over Jiang Chaolin, not Wen Chunming took over Jiang Chaolin, and the lid on Pingyang should be lifted. Since yesterday, the report mailbox at the entrance of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection has been crammed to the brim, reflecting problems involving all aspects and in a rather intense tone. ”

Ma Wanli asked: "Does Comrade Changhe know about this situation?" ”

Sun Yadong said: "I originally wanted to report to Comrade Gao Changhe first, but I didn't expect that just after dinner, just after a few words, before I could get to the point, Comrade Changhe was called to Binhai by Secretary Hua Bo. ”

Ma Wanli nodded: "I know that Binhai is on the front line of flood control, and the provincial party committee is a little worried." ”

Sun Yadong continued to report: "The corruption problem in Binh Duong, especially the corruption of the responsible cadres, seems to be quite serious, and the focus is mainly on the Binh Duong Rolling Mill and Lieshan County, and I have also reported to the provincial party committee and you in the past......

Ma Wanli waved his hand: "Don't keep reporting, you can do what you need to do, what are you going to do?" ”

Sun Yadong said: "I personally still hope that the provincial party committee can send a tough working group to investigate with us to the end." Of course, we still have to listen to Comrade Changhe's opinion and see his determination in this matter. ”

Ma Wanli pondered: "Your new team must first come up with an opinion, and you will handle the matters within your authority, and don't keep thinking about handing over problems and contradictions." I would like to stress once again that on the issue of principle, no one should want to be a good man, and I have also said this to Comrade Changhe: If we must not offend those corrupt cadres, we must offend the party and the people. Of course, it's really a big case, and the province will take the lead in catching it, and it won't push it. However, Comrade Yadong, you must remember that the issue of anti-corruption is a very prudent issue and must be based on facts. ”

At this moment, the phone on the desk rang, and Ma Wanli walked over to answer the phone, and said meaningfully: "...... Yadong, I also want to remind you, you don't have to say anything about lifting the lid or something. The Provincial Party Committee has a high appraisal of Binh Duong's work, this is not Comrade Hua Bo's personal evaluation, it is the evaluation of the Provincial Party Committee, Comrade Hua Bo's speech was discussed and approved by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, do you know? ”

Sun Yadong nodded again and again: "Secretary Ma, you reminded me in a timely manner, I must pay attention to this issue......"

Ma Wanli waved his hand, didn't let Sun Yadong say any more, reached out and grabbed the phone: "Qian Yiwei?" How's the situation in Changjiang, ah? The weather forecast says that the rainfall process is still continuing, and the area around the lower three rivers has become a water town again, right? ”

On the phone, Qian Yiwei, secretary of the Changjiang Municipal Party Committee, said: "Secretary Ma, don't worry, the problem is not big, 50,000 people have gone up to the embankment, and the main leaders of the municipal party committee and the city are on duty 24 hours a day. Oh, by the way, Secretary Ma, by the way, I reported that yesterday I went to Xiasanhe to have a look, and I also met your old father, the old man is in good health, and the situation at home is also very good, even the yard is not waterlogged......"

Ma Wanli was angry: "Qian Yiwei, at this time, what are you running to my house, ah?" What impact? How to do these things that make the people scold their mothers! I ask you: Is the area of the lower three rivers flooded? ”

Qian Yiwei was silent for a long time before he said: "Two townships are flooded......"

Ma Wanli was even more angry: "The two townships are flooded, I don't ask you to say it, there is no water in my yard, you report it immediately, this is your work achievement?" Do you want me to praise you? You, Qian Yiwei, are the secretary of the Changjiang Municipal Party Committee, and you are responsible for the eight million people of Changjiang, not for me Ma Wanli personally! ”

Qian Yiwei didn't dare to make a sound.

Ma Wanli breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Do you have confidence in withstanding this great flood?" ”

Qian Yiwei said: "Have confidence!" Secretary Ma, the slogan put forward by the Changjiang Municipal Party Committee is: Flood control, defend the homeland, and defend the achievements of reform and opening up. The enthusiasm of the cadres and the masses is very high. Especially the cadres and masses along the river, now they are eating and sleeping on the embankment, and good people and good deeds are constantly emerging, Secretary Ma, let me report to you......"

Ma Wanli said: "Okay, okay, don't report good people and good deeds." I would like to ask, if the water situation is close to 1991, how big is the estimated damage? Will there be major problems in the production and livelihood of the masses? ”

Qian Yiwei said: "If we really want to reach the level of 1991, even if there is no problem in Changjiang, it is estimated that there will be relatively serious waterlogging. However, with your support and concern and that of the provincial party committee, we will certainly tide over the difficulties as we did in 1991 and not worry too much about the production and livelihood of the masses. ”

Ma Wanli was unhappy again: "Qian Yiwei, don't expect me and the provincial party committee, even if there are difficulties, you must also be based on self-reliance, don't let people keep poking my backbone!" In this regard, you all have to study hard in Binh Duong! ”

After putting down the phone, Ma Wanli was still unsatisfied, pointed at Sun Yadong and said: "Yadong, you also have to learn the strengths of Pingyang cadres!" Like Jiang Chaolin, like Wen Chunming, which one is not full of self-confidence? Look at the cadres from Changjiang City, can they compare with others? ! ”

Sun Yadong sighed: "So, in the past six months, it has been very difficult for me to carry out my work. ”

Ma Wanli sat down on the sofa again and said, "Now that Comrade Changhe is here, the situation will improve." ”

Sun Yadong wanted to say something, hesitated, but didn't say anything, only nodded.

Ma Wanli then said: "Okay, Yadong, you continue to talk about the situation in Pingyang!" What is the nature of the problem between the flat rolling mill and Lieshan County? Is there any clue about the 140,000 anonymous remittances? ”

Sun Yadong reported again......
