When Wen Chunming and Li Xinxiang were talking, Gao Changhe was handing over to Jiang Chaolin's office in the municipal party committee office.

In the process of handover, Liu Yiru hurriedly came in and said: "Secretary Gao, Secretary Jiang, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry to disturb you, something happened - the gate of the municipal party committee was blocked by the workers of the flat rolling mill, and it seems that there are five or six hundred people, asking to see Secretary Gao, and they are sitting quietly." ”

Gao Changhe and Jiang Chaolin were both surprised.

Jiang Chaolin asked: "What do the workers want to see Secretary Gao for?" ”

Liu Yiru said: "I ask Secretary Gao to make the decision and return the fund-raising funds of the year. ”

Jiang Chaolin waved his hand: "Let them find Mayor Wen for this matter!" ”

Liu Yiru said: "Mayor Wen is receiving Xinhua News Agency reporters, and I have already called him. After that, he glanced at Gao Changhe, and then said, "It is said that yesterday the Xinhua News Agency reporter stayed in the flat rolling mill for a day, and held two forums accompanied by our deputy secretary general, Tian Liye, and the workers thought that there was hope for a refund......

Jiang Chaolin was stunned, and suddenly became angry: "Director Liu, what do you mean by this?" I agreed that Tian Liye accompanied the reporter to the flat rolling mill for an interview, do you mean that I instructed Tian Liye to embarrass Comrade Gao Changhe? How did you become so irresponsible when you comrade spoke! ”

Liu Yiru didn't dare to make a sound.

Jiang Chaolin said to Gao Changhe with a gloomy face: "Comrade Changhe, just now we were talking about the big idea of Pingyang's future development, how to work hard in the direction of an international metropolis, and I haven't had time to talk to you about more specific issues like the Pingyang Rolling Mill. It's amazing, 670,000 yuan was given as a gift, what a big case! ”

Gao Changhe waved his hand first and let Liu Yiru go out, and then said to Jiang Chaolin: "Old secretary, don't be angry, I only learned today that the internal reference manuscript was poked out by Comrade Sun Yadong, and I have seriously criticized him and told him: This is a violation of organizational principles and organizational discipline." ”

Jiang Chaolin snorted: "I'm afraid it's not just a violation of organizational principles and organizational discipline, right?" After thinking about it, he said, "Comrade Changhe, in this way, I will personally pick up the wind for you in the evening, and let this Deputy Secretary-General Tian Liye arrange it, and I will ask him to report to you in person on the interview with the flat rolling mill." ”

Gao Changhe nodded and said: "Okay, that's it, you don't care about the wine, my father-in-law asked me to bring two bottles of 'Wuliangye' to you, I will consume it once and drink your 'Wuliangye'!" ”

Just as he was talking about this, the phone call from the office came again, saying that Mayor Wen Chunming had arrived at the gate of the municipal party committee, and the workers all bombarded him, he must see Gao Changhe, and asked Gao Changhe if he could see him?

Gao Changhe thought about it for a while and agreed to meet him.

There are really a lot of group workers at the gate of the municipal party committee, and there are more than five or six hundred people who watch the excitement. Not only was the gate blocked, but the road in front of the gate was also blocked. Many comrades from the Public Security Bureau came and organized a cordon on the street and in the courtyard of the city party committee. Mayor Wen Chunming was accompanied by several comrades in the ** office, saying something loudly to the workers.

The workers did not listen at all and shouted rhythmically: "Debts are repaid, debts are repaid......

At this moment, Gao Changhe came to the workers.

Wen Chunming saw it, and first said to Gao Changhe: "I have already asked He Zhuoxiao and them to lead people." Then he said loudly to the workers, "Comrades, don't make any noise, Secretary Gao Changhe has come to see you!" ”

The workers who were sitting in silence suddenly fell silent, and they all turned their hopeful eyes to Gao Changhe.

Gao Changhe waved his hand: "Comrades, as you all know, I just came to work in Pingyang, today is the first day of work, and I don't know much about the situation of the flat rolling mill, but there is one thing I can say first: of course, the debt must be repaid, and the state will not rely on everyone's debt!" Never supplied! ”

As soon as these words fell, there was a silence at first, and then there was a warm applause.

In the warm applause, a gray-haired middle-aged worker broke through the cordon, ran to Gao Changhe and knelt down, looking up with a wrinkled black face, and shouting "Gao Qingtian" again and again: "Secretary Gao, Gao Qingtian, you and the new municipal party committee must be in charge of us!" Gao Qingtian......"

Gao Changhe was about to pull up the middle-aged workers, and outside the cordon, all the workers knelt down, and the cry of "Gao Qingtian" suddenly sounded......

This scene is really thrilling.

The blood on Gao Changhe's body suddenly surged to his head, his eyes moistened, and he said loudly: "Comrades, get up, you all get up!" What are you doing here? You are the working class, how can your knees be so soft! Comrades, all stand up, all stand up for me! ”

Only then did the workers stand up one after another.

Gao Changhe stabilized his mood for a while, and said: "Don't call me 'Gao Qingtian', the Qingtian era has passed, it has long passed!" Today's Binh Duong is not a Pingyang ruled by man, and today's China is not a China ruled by man, we are a society governed by the rule of law. What does a society governed by the rule of law depend on? It does not depend on the wisdom of any one person, but on a complete set of perfect legal systems and a sound system that adapts to the development of today's situation! Comrades, you only saw that your own fund-raising money was thrown into the water, but you didn't expect that the country's investment of 1.2 billion yuan was also lost? As far as I can get to know in the first instance, this has little to do with the incompetence of any leader, but has a lot to do with the old system in the past. It is precisely because of this that we must unswervingly take the road of deepening reform, and only then can we reform little by little the irrational old system that is not suited to the development of the socialist market economy, so that the situation of the flat rolling mill that hurts the country and the people will never happen again! ”

Another round of applause rang out.

A worker shouted in the crowd: "Secretary Gao, please tell me, how should this reform be carried out?" How to deepen? ”

Gao Changhe said: "Comrades, this has to be said from the heart, and I have no bottom about the flat rolling mill now. You have to give me a little time, give us a little time for this team, and at the same time, think of a way with us, and have constructive suggestions, which can be reflected to the factory, or to Mayor Wen and myself, okay? Comrades, go back first, and I will stress once again that the country will not rely on your debts! ”

The workers were reluctant to leave, and their hopeful eyes were still staring at Gao Changhe.

Someone in the crowd asked loudly: "Secretary Gao, when will you repay our fund-raising money?" ”

This question is too specific, and Gao Changhe really doesn't know how to answer it for a while.

Wen Chunming immediately interjected: "Secretary Gao just set a big principle, and he can't be so specific!" ”

At this time, He Zhuoxiao, the director of the flat rolling mill, rushed to the scene with sweat, first reviewed to Gao Changhe and Wen Chunming, and then yelled at the workers: "You raised funds to me, when did the municipal party committee and the city collect your money?" What are you doing here? Secretary Gao and Mayor Wen are out of office? Go back, go back, everyone go back with me! ”

The mood of the workers came up again, and they quarreled with He Zhuoxiao.

Looking at the chaotic crowd in front of the door, Gao Changhe really didn't feel good in his heart, and said to Wen Chunming sullenly: "Mayor Wen, I think the problem of the flat rolling mill can't be dragged on like this anymore, and there must be a complete solution!" ”

Wen Chunming said expressionlessly: "Okay, okay, Secretary Gao, I'm waiting for you to get an idea!" ”

Gao Changhe's heart was really angry, but in front of so many worker comrades, he didn't say anything, he glanced at Wen Chunming dissatisfied, and shouted loudly to the workers: "Comrades, let's not make trouble first, okay?" I repeat, comrades please give me a little time! Give me a little time......"
