Lu Rui's phone rang at just the right time, as if to confirm Li Yajie's words.
The call was from Owen Hai. On the phone, Owen Hai asked Lu Rui: "Lu Rui, do you know what I want to talk to you about?".
Lu Rui glanced at Li Yajie and Shi Guang, who were next to him, and made a silent gesture to calm down his emotions, and then answered Ou Wenhai: "Secretary Ou, I don't know."
Owen smiled: "Then let's take a guess. You are so smart, how could you not guess it?"
Lu Rui gave a wry smile and thought to himself, just say no and it's over. You have to play this guessing game with me. He said helplessly: "You are the leader. We, the subordinates, can't guess what the leader is thinking."
What he said is not wrong at all. Although trying to figure out the thoughts of leaders is something that subordinates often do, if a leader's thoughts are really guessed by his subordinates, then the subordinate will be in trouble. After all, no matter it is
No one wants to have someone around them who can understand their thoughts at any time.
Ou Ouhai seemed to be very satisfied with Lu Rui's answer. He smiled and said, "It's nothing. As for me, I want to say hello to you first. Just like I said when you came to Songjiang, you should first get familiar with it at the Provincial Party Committee."
situation, and then go on. Now, the time has come."
Lu Rui didn't say anything. He knew that Owen Hai must have something more to say.
Sure enough, Ou Ouhai continued: "Get ready to go to Hecheng City to take charge of the work. I will have a detailed chat with you tomorrow. Of course, even the provincial governor and Comrade Zhenhai from the Organization Department will also participate."
Although he had just learned the news from Li Yajie, Lu Rui was still a little surprised when he heard what Owen Hai said at this time, and he was even more surprised. He didn't even know when Owen Hai hung up the phone.
Shi Guang held the wine glass, looked at Lu Rui and said, "Brother Lu, whose phone number is it?"
Li Yajie on the side smiled and said: "Of course it's Secretary Ou of the Provincial Party Committee."
Then he said to Lu Rui: "Secretary Lu, what do you think? Is my source of information correct? Sometimes we have to admit that the minister of civil society organizations has his own source of information."
Lu Rui nodded, waved his hand and said: "This kind of thing is wrong." He knew very well that the decision of the Standing Committee was leaked so early in advance, which meant that it was abnormal and did not comply with the organization's regulations.
Li Yajie also smiled bitterly and said: "There are so many abnormal things that we can't control. Now, do you want to listen to my report?"
Lu Rui sighed and said, "Okay, I'll just listen."
After looking at his watch, Lu Rui said to Li Yajie: "Let's not occupy other people's places. If you don't rest, Shi Guang and his wife will still have to rest. Come to my place."
After sitting down, Lu Rui glanced at Liu Nan apologetically and said, "I'm sorry. Brothers and sisters, I'm disturbing you."
Li Yajie also said to Shi Guang: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Shi Guang chuckled: "Okay. Just remember to treat me to dinner in the future. I'll take you downstairs."
Li Yajie and Lu Rui went downstairs and came to the door. Li Yajie chuckled and said, "Secretary Lu, why don't I keep the story short and finish it in a few words without disturbing your rest."
Lu Rui's face sank: "Where are you going? Stay here and tell me everything about Hecheng. You must tell me everything you know. But you must be realistic and don't take personal emotions into account.
!”
Li Yajie laughed: "Okay, let's go buy some side dishes. I have to talk to you carefully today."
The two of them went to a restaurant outside the community to order some dishes and bought two bottles of liquor. Then they returned to Lu Rui's residence.
With the help of alcohol, Li Yajie reported for more than an hour at a stretch, including the corruption issues of some county-level leadership groups, the local protectionism and xenophobia problems in Hecheng City, the paternalistic style of the former municipal party secretary Yu Yun, etc.
Of course, the most important one is the problem of Hecheng Iron and Steel Group that Mayor Bai Dongxu has grasped.
According to Li Yajie, Hecheng City Iron and Steel Group's problems are very serious. It has grown from a budget of 600 million to a scale of 1 billion. After so many years, not even an inch of steel plate has been rolled out, and it still relies on loans to pay wages.
However, the cadres in the company ate and drank in the hotel every day, even eating up the more than 4 million yuan raised by the workers.
At that time, Mayor Bai Dongxu actually participated. Workers from the steel company went to the city hall to petition twice this year, but in the end nothing happened. In February this year, as soon as he took office in Hecheng City, he went through the investigation despite pressure from all sides.
The Iron and Steel Group found out the problem immediately after an investigation: just treating guests and giving gifts alone cost more than 673,000! But Yu Yun refused to let the investigation continue.
It can be said that Lu Rui was shocked by the situations reported by Li Yajie.
It was originally thought that Li Yajie had been transferred to Hecheng City for a short period of time and was a foreign cadre. He was not united with Mayor Bai Dongxu and the Hecheng City comrades in the team, but now it seems that it is not like it. Based on his observation of Li Yajie, this comrade is still relatively
decent,
Lu Rui vaguely remembers that when Li Yajie was the secretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection in Shuangxi, he had to withstand various pressures and bring a group of prostitutes led by the deputy secretary of Shuangxi County to court. He believed that he was responsible for Hecheng City's
Questions will not be answered casually.
However, Lu Rui still just listened silently and did not express his position on any of the issues raised by Li Yajie.
Li Yajie is also a smart person, so he can naturally tell whether Lu Rui is dealing with him or listening carefully, but what makes him a little confused is that Lu Rui's attitude is really unpredictable.
"Secretary Lu, I've been talking for so long, but you should give me something to say. It's wrong to be so silent."
Lu Rui laughed and said calmly to Li Yajie: "Lao Li, you and I are both senior cadres, and I won't hide it from you. Regardless of whether the things you said are true or false, I have no idea now. Don't forget it.
, Up to now, I am not the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Hecheng. What position do you want me to express? How should I express it? Even if I take office, I cannot express my position just after listening to your report. I must also listen to other comrades.
Opinions, right? We still need to do some research, right?"
Li Yajie was stunned for a moment when he heard Lu Rui's words, and then laughed: "Okay, okay, okay, Secretary Lu, what you said makes sense. As for me, let's not talk about your naughtiness now. I will do a good job in investigation and research after you take office.
Well, I suggest you start with the No. 1 Steel Rolling Plant in Hecheng City and Songjiang County. If after the investigation and research, problems are found, and your brother still has this attitude, I will really scold you for being slippery."
Lu Rui shook his head helplessly: "Old Li, do you think this kind of thing can be easily avoided if I want to be cunning?"
Li Yajie laughed as soon as he heard this, knowing that this time he did not come in vain.
Before leaving, Li Yajie said meaningfully to Lu Rui: "Secretary Lu, as a big brother, I want to give you a message: Hecheng City was developed in the hands of the former Municipal Party Committee Secretary Yu Yun. Although Secretary Yu is engaged in economics
He has a lot of skills, but his work style is also very problematic. Hecheng has been under the rule of his Yiyantang work style for a long time. In addition, economically, he is among the best in the province, so xenophobia is quite serious. You must do a good job and protect the local government.
Ideological preparation for the struggle against ism!”
Lu Rui frowned slightly, glanced at Li Yajie with some dissatisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Secretary Li, you are going too far. What does it mean to be prepared for struggle? What to fight? Who to fight against? Who are the local protectionists?
?You say that people are local protectionists, and they might also say that you have the consciousness of an imperial envoy! I don’t think it’s good to go around saying that gays in Hecheng City are xenophobic. At least you regard yourself as an outsider.”
Li Yajie was stunned and looked at Lu Rui in confusion. It was obvious that what Lu Rui said surprised him. After all, he had said so much today, but Lu Rui still had this attitude.
Lu Rui patted Li Yajie on the shoulder and said to him in a very calm tone: "Big brother, disciplinary inspection work is not just about investigating and punishing problematic cadres, but also caring for our cadres and treating the cadres who are working hard on the front line of reform
Take care of it as a precious asset of the party and the country. Assign a task to you, let me study, what are the characteristics of our cadres in Hecheng City? Cadres in economically developed cities like them, in terms of spiritual outlook and leadership style
,and
Compared with economically underdeveloped cities, such as other cities you have lived in, what are the differences? I always feel that Hecheng City’s rapid economic development in recent years has its own unique features. How come Hecheng City has become so rapid in these ten years?
Has the economy developed further? From the bottom to second position in the province, the economy has risen to the second place in the province in one fell swoop, with a growth rate even exceeding that of the provincial capital? And it has been first in the province for three consecutive years? This is not just a matter of local improvement.
Is it caused by protectionism?”
Li Yajie is also a smart person. He immediately understood that there was something else in Lu Rui's words. He was trying to remind himself that he was too extreme in looking at the problem and did not comprehensively and correctly evaluate the work of Hecheng City. But after thinking about it, he felt that Lu Rui's words
It didn't make sense, so he nodded and left somewhat unhappily.
Lu Rui didn't say much. Some of the words he said were inappropriate for his current position. He was not a fool. Of course he would not tell Li Yajie everything. But seeing the emotions of the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission who was dedicated to public service
Looking depressed, Lu Rui couldn't help but said: "Secretary Li, I have only one sentence to send you. If there really are situations like what you said in Hecheng City, then you can investigate as you please. I personally will do my best.
Supportive!”
Li Yajie was stunned for a moment, and stopped moving forward. He turned around, held Lu Rui's hand, and asked seriously: "Secretary Lu, is this a statement of your position?"
Lu Rui hesitated a little, but after taking a look at Li Yajie's serious eyes, he nodded and said, "Okay, forget it."
Li Yajie left Lu Rui's home happily.
After taking a look at his mobile phone, Lu Rui knew that his peaceful life would probably come to an end in the next few days.
