Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 889 Fighting between Dragon and Tiger

Such a blunt political attack shocked all the officials present.

Everyone couldn't help but think that Secretary Long seemed to be forced into a corner.

Yes, if you count the years that Long Fuhai has been in Tianzhou, he has been in crisis many times, but this is the first time that someone has stepped on his face like this.

After beating Jia Shangwen, the chicken, Long Fuhai began to clear his name.

“I think everyone is very curious about what I’ve been going through these past few days.

You may hear some news of this or that kind.

I would like to give an explanation for this.

I could have chosen not to give this explanation, but I couldn't.

Because I cannot allow my comrades to have unnecessary misunderstandings about me and the purity of the Municipal Party Committee."

Long Fuhai paused for a moment, and habitually reached out to drink tea, but found that his wife Bai Baozhen's new tea had not been served. He had no choice but to pick up the cigarette box, light a new cigarette, and take a few puffs before speaking.

"There are rumors that I, Long Fuhai, fell for women, and some even say that I, Long Fuhai, was caught soliciting prostitution by a reporter from a provincial newspaper.

I would say that this is all just nonsense.

The truth is, several comrades from other provinces and I took time out of our busy schedules to relax and have fun.

There are people who have bad intentions and try every possible means to make trouble for me.

I won’t tell you who it is, you should have heard of it.

In the eyes of many of you, this person may be a fierce dragon crossing the river, a beast like a flood, and you are afraid of him.

But I want to tell you that this fierce dragon, this ferocious beast, cannot defeat me, Long Fuhai.

A child's play, a despicable tactic, a cadre devoid of political wisdom—how can this be considered a dragon crossing the river? I think it's nothing more than a worm."

Wan Hanshan, the Party Secretary of Taizi County, echoed this sentiment: "Secretary Long, your assessment is correct. He is a young man who suddenly became rich, a man whose virtues are not worthy of his position. How can he understand officialdom rules and political wisdom?"

Everyone laughed, and Long Fuhai laughed too.

Although Long Fuhai did not look down on Qi Tongwei in his heart, he had to put on a high profile when facing his subordinates and portray Qi Tongwei as an incompetent and lowly opponent in order to rebuild his prestige and stabilize his power.

This can also be considered a way of positioning, putting yourself high and your enemy low, so that those who are on the fence can see the situation clearly.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Others will judge the right and wrong, merits and demerits. Let's talk about Tianzhou." Long Fuhai waved his hand and ended the subject.

Qi Tongwei was too far away from him, so there was no point in saying more. What he really had to face was Tianzhou and Sha Ruijin.

"Thank you for your hard work in Tianzhou while I was away."

He glanced at the crowd again and said, "It's just right, there are quite a few people from our teams here today.

I'd like to take this opportunity to catch up on any work I've left behind. I'm wondering if anyone has any important work to report. If I can address it, I'll do it now."

Someone smart enough knew that Long Fuhai was about to ask for a knife and immediately handed it to him.

"Secretary Long, I have work to report." A man stood up. He was a deputy director of the Tianzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau.

"Please say."

"It's about the city's efforts to renovate the Black Triangle Coal Mine."

"Well, this is chaired by Comrade Sha Ruijin, promoting coal mine transformation, the main purpose is to ensure safe production and improve efficiency."

“But...but...” the man hesitated.

Long Fuhai frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Did you encounter any difficulties?"

"To be honest with Secretary Long, yes, we did encounter some difficulties, and they were not small."

"Let's talk about it. It's a good thing that so many comrades are here today. Let's find a way to solve it."

The man said: "Promoting the renovation project is indeed a good thing that benefits the country and the people. I don't deny that, but I hope the city can pay more attention to the livelihood of the workers.

Thousands of laid-off workers have flooded into society, vying for business and livelihoods. In just one week, this has resulted in no fewer than a hundred public security incidents, placing considerable pressure on our city police. If we don't come up with a safety net, I'm worried it will lead to even more serious problems."

Long Fuhai frowned, "Is that true?" He then asked everyone, "Have the comrades from the development zone arrived?"

"Here I am, here I am, Secretary Long." A man stood up from the corner next to the tea room.

"Let me ask you, how many mines has Sha Ruijin closed, and how many operations has he halted?"

Liu Qi, secretary of the Development Zone Party Working Committee, replied: “As of today, a total of 47 mines have been closed.

There are five companies in the first category, 21 companies in the second category, 18 companies in the third category, and three companies in the fourth and fifth categories that have secretly resumed work.

“How many laid-off workers are there?”

"Over 7,700 people in total."

"So how did you do the resettlement work?"

"This..." Liu Qi couldn't answer.

Sha Ruijin did come up with a resettlement plan, which is that like Beishan, the city and the development zone will each bear 50% of the resettlement costs, and the compensation will be canceled when the employees can resume their jobs.

This move is also to put pressure on their development zone to speed up the transformation process.

But where is the money in the development zone? In recent years, coal bosses have made a lot of money, and cadres at all levels have made a lot of money, but the development zone’s finances have not had a penny.

"Mayor Sha said the city and district would each bear half of the cost. But Secretary Long, as you know, with the economic transformation in recent years, business has been getting worse and worse, and coal prices are getting lower and lower. How can we have extra money to provide benefits to the workers?"

Long Fuhai nodded. "That's the truth. Even the best cook cannot cook without rice. Then let's give the city government half first. We can communicate with the people. If it doesn't work out, we can write an IOU for the district's half. When the market improves, we'll make up for it."

Liu Qi said: "Mayor Qiansha of the city did say he would give it to me, but... there has been no follow-up."

Long Fuhai looked at Jia Shangwen, "Comrade Shangwen, what's going on?"

Jia Shangwen wiped the sweat from his forehead, his fat face twitching violently, and he thought to himself, without your Secretary Long's signature, who can spend a penny from Tianzhou City's finances?

"This...I am not sure about this either."

"Don't know? You're not clear! The people are cursing, and you still don't know?" Long Fuhai looked very annoyed. "I said at the beginning that the work of this coal mine development zone needs to be done slowly, slowly.

Sha Ruijin had to make such a scene with me in the Standing Committee.

Well, I let him do it, and now it's such a mess!

Seven thousand seven hundred people, that's seven thousand seven hundred families. What do they eat and drink? Huh?" Meng asked again: "By the way? Does anyone know where our mayor of Sha is?"

Liu Qi replied: "Secretary Long, I know that when I arrived, Mayor Sha was running to the development zone.

He said he would supervise our flood prevention work. I asked Director Hao to deal with it right now.”
