Chapter 661 Tightening the Screws
Qi Tongwei pondered for a moment and said modestly: "I don't know much about the situation in Wenshan. Whether it is possible to build a power plant or a coking plant still needs your evaluation. As an outsider, it is difficult for me to make any suggestions."
Tian Fengyi was still unaware of Qi Tongwei's involvement, so he wanted to use this opportunity to create some controversy in front of Hua Bei and save face in front of Qi Tongwei. He said from a high vantage point:
"Ma Da, please don't make things difficult for Mayor Qi. The situation in each place is different. Without an investigation, you have no right to speak. How can you expect others to give you advice?
I still say the same thing, if Wenshan wants to develop, we must take the path of building a city based on energy.
As coal prices become increasingly low, we cannot stand still. We must fully change our thinking, change the energy form, and realize the growth of attribute value.
Coking plants, originally used only as raw materials for steel, need to develop into chemical plants, producing daily necessities such as asphalt and dyes.
Yu Huabei felt ashamed. These were all Qi Tongwei's ideas. Wasn't it that his old subordinate was showing off his skills in front of an expert? He interrupted quickly: "Okay, Feng Yi, didn't I tell you today? Let's not talk about work. What's going on between you two?
Didn’t you have enough meetings at the Wenshan Standing Committee, and now you come to my house to hold another one?” He paused and pointed out: “You don’t know yet, but these are the suggestions I heard from Tongwei.
I've already told you twice, why are you so eager to launch this? Have you conducted a field investigation? Have you had it verified by the relevant authorities?"
At this point, Yu Huabei could only put the blame on Tian Fengyi and let Qi Tongwei think that the other party acted on his own.
Tian Fengyi was stunned. He never thought that there would be such a thing. Thinking about his previous behavior, he almost wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
"Ah..., it turned out to be Mayor Qi's idea. I...I." Tian Fengyi was so embarrassed that he spoke incoherently.
Seeing Tian Fengyi's misfortune, Ma Da laughed a little smugly. "Mayor Tian, it seems you copied my homework too. I was wondering why you suddenly came up with this idea and were so determined. It's totally inconsistent with your political character."
Tian Fengyi felt even more embarrassed when he was ridiculed by Mada. It was really a bad year for him. Why was Qi Tongwei everywhere?
However, before Mada could feel proud for two seconds, Yu Huabei pulled the board out from Tian Fengyi's body and hit Mada, making Mada dizzy.
"Ma Da, what are you laughing at? What's so funny? Tian Fengyi at least knows how to copy homework, but what about you? I'm afraid you can't even copy homework.
"Aren't you ashamed of Wenshan's economic development? It's one thing not to work together, but you're fighting among yourselves and even have the nerve to complain. What the hell are you thinking? Do you still have any Party spirit left? Huh?" Yu Huabei pounded the table in excitement.
Ma Da couldn't laugh anymore. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start. He could only hold his head high and stammer, "Secretary Yu, I'm just following orders when it comes to the economy. Mayor Tian... is the boss..."
Yu Huabei said: "Now you know he is the top leader? Then have you ever heard what he, the top leader, said?
Why can't you communicate properly when there is something going on? Why do you have to report it to the Provincial Party Committee? Not only do you lose face yourself, but you also lose face for me.
What will the other provincial party committee members think? Will they say that the two cadres I strongly recommended were of this character?
You're not good at work, but you're good at struggle?"
After a barrage of criticism, both of them were left unable to even raise their heads.
There was a brief silence at the dinner table.
After a moment of silence, Yu Huabei sighed and said in a more relaxed tone, "Today, I want to take this opportunity to talk to you frankly about this meal. We should take advantage of this period of time to give Wenshan's economy a boost.
Next, I plan to suggest to the Provincial Party Committee that you adjust your engine. If you don't work hard, I will let you retire early!"
Mada was confused, feeling half worried and half happy. It sounded like he was going to be promoted from this.
Tian Fengyi was happy in his heart. If Mada left, he would lose a mother-in-law. The city party secretary Liu Zhuangfu had always been in poor health and was hospitalized every now and then. So Wenshan had to be dominated by his family.
Does this mean that the power content has been further enhanced?
Mrs. Yu, who was watching from the side, couldn't stand it any longer and quickly reminded him, "Old Yu, look, didn't you agree not to talk about work? Why are you scolding me again? It's not over yet."
Yu Huabei sighed again, "When a group of us cadres get together, it's inevitable that we talk about work.
Especially Wenshan, who has been completely silent and fussing over trivial matters all day long. As the stationed leader, I feel ashamed."
Mrs. Yu said, "The situation in Wenshan is complicated, but Comrade Feng Yi hasn't been working hard over the years. Just last year, I heard he listed two companies. Isn't that an achievement?"
Yu Huabei exposed the truth without giving any face: "What kind of listed company is that? It's just a shell company, a money-making company.
Two companies on the verge of bankruptcy were touted to the skies by Tian Fengyi in newspapers and on television, their share prices tripling. How many investors were ultimately trapped? How many lost their fortunes?
Even Lao Pei was almost deceived. He thought that several high-quality enterprises had appeared in Hanjiang. I didn't dare to explain to him.
Tell me, is this an achievement? This is a powder keg that will one day blow those who started it to pieces.”
Tian Fengyi lowered his head even lower.
After knocking on Tian Fengyi's door, Yu Huabei poured himself a glass of wine and said, "I just said we wouldn't talk about work. I'm going to break the rules and drink a glass myself to set an example."
Putting down his glass, Yu Huabei continued without waiting for the atmosphere to clear up: "However, we won't talk about work, but we must talk about the 'democracy meeting', and we must get our faces red.
I can’t be partial to Feng Yi and make him blush. I have to make your face red as well and tighten the screws of your thinking.”
Yu Huabei pointed at Ma Da and said with a hint of emotion: "Comrade, to be honest, you are very decent most of the time, but your shortcomings are also very obvious.
I just can't control my mouth. Being cautious in what you say and do is not only the standard for being a human being, but also the principle for being an official. Am I right?"
Mada nodded dejectedly and said yes repeatedly.
"If this problem cannot be cured, it will cause serious problems. For example, if an ordinary person suffers from this problem, he may have conflicts with his neighbors, colleagues and friends.
If a leading cadre develops this problem, he may fall flat on his face.
Especially when dealing with your superiors, you have to wear a hat that has no concept of superiors and subordinates.
You have to take the blame for being disorganized and without principles, right?
You have to take responsibility for leaking secrets because you failed to keep the door shut, right?
In short, there are a lot of disadvantages, but the only thing is that it makes you feel good, and you lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds."
