Chapter 26 Transactions
In the morning, a city-wide organizational work meeting was held in the small auditorium of the Municipal Party Committee. The meeting was chaired by Luo Minjiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Minister of Organization. Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor Tang Weiguo, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Wang Siyu, Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee Liang Kun and other leaders attended the meeting. Leaders of the organization departments of various cities, districts and counties attended the meeting.
After making a speech on "promoting the spirit of pragmatism and strictly implementing the work", Wang Siyu put down the materials in his hand, pushed the microphone away, took a few sips of tea, and saw that the camera reporter had finished filming, he began to take advantage of the time to review the documents during the retreat.
More than ten minutes later, he read the research report brought back by his secretary Lin Yue, which reflected some problems in the eight grassroots rescue stations and the Civil Affairs Bureau in the city. Due to lack of funds, insufficient hardware facilities, poor staff sense of responsibility and bad service attitude, Luoshui City's rescue work was extremely backward, and many of the accumulated problems have never been properly resolved.
In recent times, homeless people, beggars and some lost mentally retarded people have appeared in some major streets of Luoshui City, as well as station wharfs and overpasses, and under the parks. Because they did not receive timely help, some vicious cases have also occurred, which have had adverse effects on social security.
After pondering for a while, Wang Siyu wrote his opinion on it: "We should pay attention to it so that those vulnerable groups who have no place in their lives and need help can receive government assistance. This is also an embodiment of strengthening humanistic care and protecting citizens' rights and interests, and effectively building the city's social security system is the top priority and urgent."
After signing, Wang Siyu put down the signing pen, turned his head, looked at Tang Weiguo sitting beside him. Seeing that he was frowning and looked absent-minded, he patiently waited for a while until Tang Weiguo came to his senses, picked up the cup, and started drinking tea. He smiled slightly, turned his body, handed over the materials, and whispered: "Mayor Weiguo, please check this research material. My opinion should be resolved as soon as possible, and we can't delay it."
Tang Weiguo nodded, put down the cup, took the materials, glanced roughly, and then picked up the pen and wrote on it: "Secretary Wang's instructions are very important. I passed on to Comrade Zhao Shanquan to read it, and asked him to take the lead and organize relevant leaders of the Government Office, Public Security Bureau, and Civil Affairs Bureau to study and discuss, formulate practical and feasible methods to implement them as soon as possible."
After giving the instructions, he solemnly signed the name, touched the materials, and handed it over to Secretary-General Liang Kun, turned his head and smiled, and said softly: "Secretary Wang, as long as the funding problem is solved, a lot of work can be sorted out. At this time, you have to do practical things, and you can't do without money."
Wang Siyu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Yes, it's hard for a good cook to cook without rice. His pockets don't bulge, so it's hard for us to be this family."
Tang Weiguo sighed, agreed, and listened to the report attentively, but his heart was quite uneasy. Through this period of observation, he also developed some favors for Wang Siyu.
Although the two have great differences on many issues, and because of the conflicts between factions, they cannot become like-minded allies, he still appreciates Wang Siyu very much in dealing with some issues, and even has a sense of mutual appreciation.
Of course, this idea just flashed through. Tang Weiguo was not smooth sailing to his current position. After many twists and turns, he personally instigated to pull down the extremely respected old leader, making the other party feel resentful, and still refuse to forgive him.
There is no way, this is politics, this is the officialdom. No matter when, you must make the most rational decisions. Even if they are extremely cold-blooded and inhumane, as long as they are the most correct and in line with the needs of political interests, you must eliminate all interference and take decisive actions.
In Tang Weiguo's eyes, Wang Siyu could not pose too much threat at this moment, and even his appearance was a good thing, which could be used as a whetstone to sharpen himself.
After presiding over Luoshui for a period of time, Tang Weiguo suddenly felt that he was a little relaxed without realizing it. In many simple tasks, negligence caused unexpected mistakes. The reason was that there was a lack of threats from outside.
People cannot have opponents or enemies, otherwise they will easily lose their fighting spirit and are not enterprising. Only when they are in crisis can they stimulate their greatest potential and avoid becoming foolish and incompetent, "born in distress, die in happiness." This sentence makes perfect sense.
However, the sense of crisis is too strong these days, which makes his life difficult. This crisis does not come from Wang Siyu, but from his former ally, Chen Qiming, the current member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization.
At present, the biggest variable on the Chinese chessboard is the relationship between the Tang family and the Chen family. After more than three years of honeymoon, the relationship between the two families has become subtle, and the friction has continued recently, and there has been a tendency to become increasingly fierce.
Due to certain differences, it is related to the important interests of both sides, and neither side is willing to make concessions easily. If the situation worsens again, the political alliance will have the possibility of collapse. By then, the balance of power in the Weibei officialdom will also be broken.
When he thought of Chen Qiming, Tang Weiguo had a headache and frowned unconsciously. This leader of the young generation of the Chen family should be his biggest opponent. A few years ago, he began to pay attention to the other party, and even used Chen Qiming as a target to catch up and spurred himself.
However, every time he saw that thin guy, he felt a sense of fear. The fear came from the bottom of his heart and was difficult to contain. There was no doubt that compared with the other party, he still had many gaps.
Just like Secretary Liang of the Provincial Party Committee, he can show off his qualifications in front of him, relying on his seniority and pounding him from time to time, but when facing Chen Qiming, he was very polite and had no slight contempt, which had already brought him to a nearly equal position.
Just a few minutes before the meeting, Tang Weiguo received a call from a provincial party committee member and had already received the exact news. It seemed that Liang Hongda had an intention to transfer Chen Qiming to Luoshui and serve as the secretary of the municipal party committee.
This sudden news made Tang Weiguo nervous. Anyone who came to Luoshui could do it, but Chen Qiming could not come down. That person was too threatened. He could be in the Demon City and make Old Wu and his men furious. If he went directly to Luoshui, he would definitely pose a direct threat to himself. At least at this stage, he would not want to meet that opponent.
Although Secretary Liang's real intention of playing this card is difficult to understand, it is obvious that he is still in the stage of venting the news to test the reactions of all parties. If there is no strong opposition voice, it is very likely that he will be discussed in the near future and report the results to the central government. Before this, we must seize the time and try our best to obstruct it.
After thinking for a long time, Tang Weiguo finally made up his mind, leaned over and said softly: "Secretary Wang, after the meeting, come to my side and discuss something."
Wang Siyu nodded and smiled and said, "Okay."
More than ten minutes later, amid the applause, the meeting ended, and everyone stood up one after another and walked out in a very orderly manner.
Tang Weiguo lowered his figure, walked side by side with Wang Siyu, and had an intimate conversation. Everyone next to him looked at it, and all his faces showed strange expressions, which made him feel a little incomprehensible. No matter from any aspect, the relationship between the two should not seem so close.
Wang Siyu was confident in his heart and secretly speculated that Tang Weiguo might have received the news and began to comfort himself.
If Chen Qiming arrived at Luoshui, he would inevitably threaten the interests of Tang Weiguo. In this case, he and Tang Weiguo became natural allies. In order to maintain the balance of power in Luoshui's officialdom, it is indeed necessary for the two to maintain communication.
After entering the office, Tang Weiguo did not return to his desk, but sat on the sofa, poured the tea in person, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Secretary Wang, to be honest, before you came to Luoshui, I was a little worried, for fear that you would be small in your stomach, come to trouble me, Tang Weiguo. Now it seems that there is no need. You are a mature leading cadre, open-minded and willing to work hard. I am full of confidence in our future cooperation."
Wang Siyu smiled slightly, picked up the cup, blew his breath, and said openly: "Mayor Weiguo, I have been too much reward, but don't worry, I am actually easy to get along with. I will not slap the cold wind or light ghost fires, have opinions or conflicts, and you can raise them in person. Once you communicate well, you can reduce friction and sing this drama."
Tang Weiguo listened very seriously and said with a smile: "Yes, Secretary Wang, what you said is very good. Not only is it like this, but it is also like this, and it is also like this. We must communicate in a timely manner, resolve conflicts as soon as possible, form a joint force, and promote the development of the cause, so as to form a win-win situation."
Wang Siyu nodded, took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and pondered Tang Weiguo's speech. He was not sure whether he suddenly felt emotion or represented the Tang family, shouting to Yu Shi and conveying some kind of message of kindness. He smiled, didn't say anything, and waited for the other party to continue to explain.
Tang Weiguo sighed, touched the teacup, and smiled bitterly: "I remember when I first came to Weibei, I was immature and was only thinking about doing work. I didn't expect that I would make such a big noise. Now I think about it, I'm sorry, Secretary Zongtang, no one can match the contributions made by the old man to Weibei."
Wang Siyu frowned slightly and said lightly: "Mayor Weiguo, there is no need to worry about the past. The situation is always changing. No one can understand what will happen in the future. We are all ordinary people and cannot do it forever."
After a pause, he eased his tone and said with a smile: "Doing good things is always the most difficult. You need to balance the interests of all parties. Doing bad things is simple, and doing them according to your own ideas is done."
Tang Weiguo smiled, rubbed his hair, and whispered: "Secretary Wang, in fact, by way of route, the concepts of our two families are relatively similar. During this period, the extreme left faction has tended to rise, so it should be worthy of vigilance."
Wang Siyu took out the cigarette box and skillfully popped out a cigarette. After lit it, he frowned and took a sip, thinking to himself: "You Tang family have been cooperating with the leftists and have tasted a lot of sweetness. Now there are cracks, and you have to shout to be alert to the extreme left. It's really ridiculous."
Sneeringly, Wang Siyu spit out a few smoke rings and said leisurely: "Mayor Weiguo, I'm going to tell you, my eyes have been looking down all the time. I'm not very sensitive to some of the dynamics above, so I didn't find any abnormalities."
Although Tang Weiguo knew that the other party was pretending to be confused, he didn't care and said with a serious expression: "Secretary Wang, I talked to the elders of my family last night and learned some situations. I am really worried. Our current good situation is hard-won. We cannot follow the old path. We must continue to explore and move forward."
Wang Siyu dusted the ashes and smiled and said, "Mayor Weiguo, you must have been over-concerned. It has not reached that level yet. What you want now is to tolerate each other and live in harmony."
Tang Weiguo took a sip of tea and said meaningfully: "Secretary Wang, I mean the same, but some people don't think so. For example, Brother Qiming, he always criticizes us and says we are going in the wrong direction."
Hearing this, Wang Siyu felt very clear. The other party's intention was very simple, just digging holes around Chen Qiming's affairs. It had nothing to do with the conflicts between factions. No matter what decision was made, it was just a temporary solution. In general, the Chen and Tang families still maintained cooperation, so that would not be of much significance.
He frowned, raised his wrist, looked at the table below, slapped half of the cigarette, threw it into the ashtray, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's a good thing to have a different voice, which means that the party is becoming more and more democratic. I still admire Brother Qiming very much. Whether it is courage or courage, it is superior to others and worth learning."
Seeing that he was trying to leave, Tang Weiguo stopped going around and said clearly: "Secretary Wang, there is a voice in the province now that he wants Minister Chen to come to Luoshui to take charge of the work on behalf of Comrade Huaichen. What do you think?"
Wang Siyu smiled slightly and said calmly: "Mayor Weiguo, this is a good thing. If the three of us can be together, Luo Shui's work will be better."
Tang Weiguo was so angry that he knew that the other party was deliberately pretending to be stupid. In view of the urgent matter, he no longer paid attention to his identity. Instead, he said patiently: "Secretary Wang, Brother Qi Ming is of course very capable, but he acts extremely and likes to act arbitrarily. It may not be a good thing when he comes."
Wang Siyu frowned and said in surprise: "Is that so? No, Brother Qiming has a bit of a straightforward temper, but at work, his reputation has always been very good."
Tang Weiguo knew that he would not give up some chips, but the other party refused to cooperate, so he smiled and said, "Secretary Wang, there are two of us here. As long as we can cooperate well, we can still do our job."
Wang Siyu knew what the other party was hinting, but he also knew that most of them were empty checks. Without Chen Qiming's threat, Tang Weiguo could refuse to admit his account at any time. Even if he could take the opportunity to get some benefits, he would not be able to defend it. After pondering for a moment, he made up his mind, waved his hand with a smile, and said lightly: "It's better to listen to the province in this kind of thing. As subordinates, it's hard for us to express our opinions."
Tang Weiguo pondered for a while, stood up expressionlessly, walked to the desk, took out the key, opened the drawer below, took out a file, walked to Wang Siyu, threw it on the coffee table, and whispered: "Mr. Yu, there are very important things here, and it is best to burn them after reading them."
Hearing his name change, Wang Siyu was slightly stunned, frowned and touched the file. After opening it, he focused on looking at it, and was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat. After a while, he smiled and said, "Brother Wei Guo, you are willing to do so."
Tang Weiguo turned around, walked to the desk, touched a beautiful ivory ornament, and whispered: "You have to show sincerity, otherwise, you can't win the trust, right?"
Wang Siyu smiled slightly, opened the briefcase, put the file in, and said with a smile: "Is it worth it to stop Chen Qiming?"
Tang Weiguo waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Yu, you don't understand. I have studied him for a long time. This man is a genius and a madman. Even if the two of us add up, we may not be able to fight him. Maybe he will use Luoshui as a test base, and the impact will be great at that time."
Wang Siyu nodded and sighed, "If I had known today, why would I have been there?"
Tang Weiguo turned around and whispered: "At first, I also opposed cooperation with the Chen family, but I did not receive attention. They all despised this person. Only I know best. He has great energy. If this person gains power, he will definitely be in chaos in the future."
Wang Siyu was shocked. He didn't expect the other party to make such harsh words. He pondered for a while and said with a smile: "Okay, then cooperate once and stop him."
Tang Weiguo nodded slightly, made a gesture of "they sighed, "I have made my own decisions and I am going to be scolded by my elders again."
"Intuition tells me that your choice may be right." Wang Siyu smiled, stood up, pushed the door and walked out, and after going downstairs, he stood on the steps, took out his cell phone, dialed the number, looked up at the sky, and said softly: "Uncle Cai, come to Luoshui immediately, and discuss something."
Uncle Cai was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Mr. Yu, what happened?"
Wang Siyu sighed and said softly: "Dig two landmines, you must eliminate them as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause big trouble."
Uncle Cai also felt the situation was serious and hurriedly said, "Okay, Mr. Yu, I'll set off right away."
Wang Siyu nodded, hung up the phone, let out a long sigh, went down the steps, and walked towards the backyard.
In the mayor's office, Tang Weiguo held his shoulders and pondered for a long time. He turned around and walked to the window, looked into the distance, and murmured: "It's worth it, it's definitely worth it!"
