Chapter 635: Cooking
He Anxia's face suddenly turned gloomy, as if he was very dissatisfied with Qi Tongwei for revealing such important information, and he hastily ended the Standing Committee meeting.
From the perspective of the Standing Committee members, Qi Tongwei's move undoubtedly cut off He Anxia's retreat.
In the past, the two of them were from the same faction, and the heads that were rotated were their backups.
Now that Qi Tongwei has relied on North China, there is no need for this backup plan to exist. Instead of leaving it to He Anxia, it is better to destroy it directly.
Too experienced, too vicious!
How could such a person be valued by the provincial party committee leaders? It was truly incomprehensible.
In any case, judging from the current situation, Secretary He might be sidelined.
After all, Qi Tongwei has relied on the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. As long as he takes root, he will be a member of Hanjiang. He is completely different from He Anxia, an alien species.
As soon as the Standing Committee meeting ended, leaders with different expressions appeared in front of everyone.
Mayor Qi Tongwei had a faint smile on his face, like a victorious general, while He Anxia had a gloomy face and told everyone to stay away.
The other members of the Standing Committee all frowned and looked unhappy.
Because they have to take sides again.
Logically, this is the good thing they have been looking forward to. Only when the top two leaders have a falling out can they exchange their voting rights for benefits.
But it’s not easy to stand in this team.
As for the secretary, the top leader, he is orthodox, has a strong background, and is the son of the secretary of the neighboring Handong Provincial Party Committee. Most importantly, he is easy-going and can "protect" his comrades. Any normal person would think that there is nothing else to choose from and would definitely support the secretary.
But on the other hand, the mayor is not simple either. He is capable and strong-willed, and his background is not weak either. The deputy secretary of the provincial party committee has raised the banner of support. As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. No matter how powerful the secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee is, he cannot control their Beishan City.
With this calculation, the political situation is rather confusing, and it is not a good idea to bet on anyone.
As for being neutral and not taking sides with anyone, this is the most taboo thing in official circles. There is no such thing as taking advantage.
If you want to remain neutral, unless you have the strength and background to make the top two leaders afraid to push the other side to the limit, otherwise you will be attacked by both sides.
The most relaxed person among all the people present was Lin Gangjian.
This situation was surprisingly friendly to him and he had freedom of choice.
Either he relies on no one and gets along with everyone. With his upcoming retirement status and his own power, he doesn't have to be afraid of anyone's face and has no desires or demands.
The other one will listen to Yu Huabei, get closer to Qi Tongwei, and return the favor. After retirement, neither Yu Huabei nor Qi Tongwei should treat him unfairly, and his children will at least be able to move up a level.
It’s just that Qi Tongwei, to be honest, he really doesn’t like him. He is too young and hot-tempered, and he shows off his talents too much!
We can see something from today's Standing Committee meeting. Once they have a new backer, they will attack their former comrades. Isn't this a mad dog?
If it weren't for the fact that Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Yu Huabei had deep roots in Hanjiang and provided the other party with capital, I'm afraid everyone in the Standing Committee would have sided with the Secretary's faction today.
Just as a group of senior officials of the municipal party committee were racking their brains, analyzing the political situation and figuring out how to choose sides.
The two people who were arguing fiercely in the Standing Committee meeting just now have closed their office and are secretly talking on the phone.
He Anxia complained, "Tongwei, you really don't give me any face at all. If it weren't for my wit, I would have been suppressed by you, a bastard!"
Qi Tongwei stood by the window, fiddling with the bamboo shoots Gao Yuliang had sent from Handong two days ago, and said with a smile, "There's nothing I can do. You're a greenhorn, so you need more practice. Otherwise, how will you become a minister in the future? I'm doing this for your own good."
"What does 'human dish' mean?" He Anxia felt that it was not a good word.
"The level is low." Qi Tongwei said bluntly.
He Anxia was a little exasperated, "Hey, kid, you can do it, but wait, I'm going to teach you a lesson next time and show you who's the weakest one."
Qi Tongwei plucked a slightly yellowed bamboo leaf and threw it into the flowerpot. "Okay, then you should quickly develop your Hexi. Otherwise, I will attack you. Don't blame me for killing you when the time comes."
"Who's afraid of who? Just wait, I will make you a lonely man."
Qi Tongwei laughed on the phone, as if he was mocking someone. Anyway, he didn't take He Anxia's "harsh words" seriously.
He Anxia didn't want to continue joking with the other party and turned the topic to the main topic, "Tongwei, to be honest, haven't we already dealt with Lin Gangjian? With Yu Huabei's support behind the scenes, he wouldn't dare to act rashly even if he had some tricks. It would be better to be more direct and promote and appoint cadres in the name of the Municipal Party Committee. Isn't it redundant to do such a thing?"
There is only one position. If you want to promote someone, you have to take him down. Whose people are not human beings? Who doesn’t have factions behind them?
Removing one or two is a political necessity and you can only blame yourself for your bad luck. But if you remove a group of people, it means a complete reshuffle from top to bottom.
The higher-ups would wonder, what do you want to do? Reorganize the ranks or establish a family empire? Will Beishan be ruled by the He or Qi clan in the future?
Qi Tongwei said quietly, "Then we'll truly become public enemies of the entire city and even the province."
He Anxia said: "I think there is no difference for us to do this. If we play too big, Beishan will probably be turned upside down by us."
"What do you mean by 'stirring up trouble'? This is a legitimate political struggle, and the core goal is to purify the ranks. Have you forgotten how the corruption in Hekou County came about? We are developing Beishan, and it is the people who are enriching themselves, not these people who are just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of their labor.
Besides, many of these people have become rigidly minded, making it difficult for me to manage them effectively. A few days ago, the Organization Department sent over some performance reports from rotation personnel. I'm not sure if you've read them, but I've spotted quite a few promising young talents. If we don't make some room, how are we going to manage them?
"I'm not as hard-working as you are. I don't spend the evening with my wife to read the mail."
"Well, my wife is not around, so I have no choice but to work." Qi Tongwei deliberately emphasized the word "work".
He An laughed, "Where's your little one?"
Qi Tongwei cursed, "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth." He then replied, "Of course they went to Hong Kong Island. If they really stayed here, what nonsense would they say?"
"Then you better hurry up and seize the opportunity. There's a saying in Hanjiang officialdom: whether you want to wash or not, soak it first; whether you want to jump or not, hug it first; whether you want to do it or not, put it on first."
Qi Tongwei said exaggeratedly: "No, where did you learn this? You are the top leader of Beishan City? A senior official of the Party and the country? You teach your subordinates to be corrupt! I think you are the biggest political cancer and pest in our Beishan!"
He Anxia laughed, "Look, didn't you say that we are now two camps?
Since we are in two camps, I will definitely try to corrupt you and bring you down. This is politics."
"Okay, wait for me here. Tomorrow I'll instruct the comrades in the investment promotion department to go to Handong to solicit investment. It would be best if we could invite some young lady bosses named Liu to invest in Beishan."
"Go away." He Anxia felt that he was no match for Qi Tongwei in terms of verbal combat, so he turned the topic back to work.
"Tongwei, I still have to remind you that if we mess with Beishan like this, we might get beaten up."
