Chapter 787: Trouble
In the political office, Lu Rui stood silently in front of the window holding a teacup. There was still an hour and a half before the opening ceremony of the Beer Festival. However, he, the mayor, did not appear in the main venue. Not only him, but also Huang Zhanjun, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, did not appear there. The leaders of the provincial party committee did not attend, nor did the main leaders of the Municipal Party Committee. The only leaders attending the opening ceremony of the Beer Festival were Li Kaixuan.
In the secretary's room, Zhang Haiyang kept continuing to call to learn about the situation at the opening ceremony. Since that family dinner, Zhang Haiyang has become more respectful to Lu Rui. For a man, Lu Rui has given him a dignity that he will never have in his life. A scholar died for his confidant. Zhang Haiyang is extremely grateful to Lu Rui now and does his best to do every task assigned by Mayor Lu.
A ringtone rang in the cell phone. Zhang Haiyang answered the phone, and after saying a few words, his face became serious. He pressed the microphone with one hand and whispered to Lu Rui: "Mayor Lu, he is Director Yao of the Public Security Bureau. I have important things to report to you."
Lu Rui frowned slightly. It seemed that many people misunderstood that he did not appear at the opening ceremony of the Beer Festival. Everyone thought he was dissatisfied with Li Kaixuan.
Nodded, reached out to take the phone, and Lu Rui said lightly: "Secretary Yao? I am Lu Rui."
Yao Guangming's voice came from the microphone: "Mayor, there is something like this to report to you. Dozens of sanitation workers from the sanitation bureau are preparing to petition privately and want to petition at the opening ceremony and ask the government to make decisions for them. Now they are controlled by our police officers. Do you think you are here to deal with it? It's not their fault for the cause of this matter. A female sanitation worker was beaten by the family of the main leader of the municipal party committee while working. The hospitalization fee has not been reimbursed and has been fired. To be honest, I feel uncomfortable when I hear it. Alas..."
Lu Rui frowned. No matter what the matter was about Yao Guangming's incident, at least if this matter was true, he could not ignore it.
After thinking about it, Lu Rui said lightly: "Who is the person they are going to sue?"
"That's right, it seems to be the son of Director Gong of the National People's Congress." Yao Guangming answered quickly when he heard Lu Rui's question.
Nodded, Lu Rui said calmly: "Let's do this, let the leaders of the sanitation bureau take the people back first. I'll understand what's going on later."
Yao Guangming said: "Okay, I'll talk to them too."
After putting down the phone, Lu Rui said to Zhang Haiyang: "Call Qu Wenhai and ask him to go there to stabilize the workers. Let me wait until I investigate the specific matters."
Zhang Haiyang nodded and agreed, and went out to dial the phone number of his wife and brother Qu Wenhai. Although he didn't understand the profound meaning of Mayor Lu, he knew that this was the mayor asking him to give favors to Qu Wenhai.
"Second brother, I'm the Ocean."
After the phone was connected, Zhang Haiyang said lightly.
Qu Wenhai on the other side was obviously stunned, and then said enthusiastically: "Haiyang, why are you looking for your second brother if you have something to do? Tell me, what's the matter? Second brother will do it for you immediately."
He smiled. Zhang Haiyang has been accustomed to his enthusiasm recently. Since Mayor Lu appeared at his birthday party, his status has changed drastically in the Qu family. Even the elders of the Qu family who have always looked down on him want to be closer to him at this time. After all, the mayor's secretary is much different from ordinary clerks in the political office, especially such a young and promising mayor.
"Second brother, has something happened to your sanitation bureau recently?" Zhang Haiyang asked calmly.
Qu Wenhai was stunned, subconsciously thought of the thing that was suppressed by the director a few days ago, and whispered in his mouth: "Haiyang, how did you know?"
Zhang Haiyang smiled faintly: "Second brother, don't say I don't take care of you, now go to the Municipal Public Security Bureau right now. Dozens of people from your sanitation bureau are there. Remember to have a good attitude and calm the emotions of the masses. Mayor Lu already knows this. You should understand what to do."
Qu Wenhai was stunned at first, and then overjoyed. He knew that this was his opportunity. As long as he handled this matter well, it would be equivalent to showing his face in front of the mayor. He held the microphone in his hand and thanked Zhang Haiyang repeatedly: "Haiyang, thank you, I will treat you to a meal another day."
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Zhang Haiyang put down the phone, sorted out his emotions, turned around and came to Lu Rui's office, and said respectfully: "Mayor, Director Qu of the Sanitation Bureau has rushed to the municipal bureau to appease the sanitation workers."
Lu Rui nodded, walked back to his sofa and sat down, and suddenly said to Zhang Haiyang: "Haiyang, Director Gong of the National People's Congress, do you understand?"
Zhang Haiyang was stunned for a moment, as if recalling something, and then slowly said: "Director Gong was the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of our Renqing City. When Secretary Huang of the Municipal Party Committee was the executive vice mayor, Director Gong was already the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. However, I heard that he, the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, was stolen from Secretary Zhang Dong, that year. At that time, the provincial party committee was preparing to promote Secretary Zhang Dong, who was then the organization minister, and Director Gong, who was then the executive vice mayor, as the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. As a result, for some reason, the province received a lot of letters of complaints about Secretary Zhang Dong. Although it was later proved to be fake, it still affected his promotion. Director Gong was promoted at that time."
After pausing, he continued, "By the way, after Director Gong became the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, Secretary Huang succeeded to the executive vice mayor."
Lu Rui nodded. It seemed that Gong Hanqing and Zhang Dong were mortal enemies and should have a unclear relationship with Huang Zhanjun. But why did others hand this knife to their own hands? Originally, Lu Rui's plan was to always focus on stability before the National People's Congress meeting, but now it seems that some people are eager to do something in Renqing City. Could it be that young people really feel that it is so easy to make mistakes?
After thinking about it, Lu Rui didn't say anything, nodded to Zhang Haiyang and said, "It's okay, there's nothing important, don't bother me, I'll call."
Zhang Haiyang turned around and went out, but Lu Rui did not call, but picked up a newspaper and read it, which reported the news that the municipal party secretary Huang Zhanjun visited the laid-off workers in large photos.
With a faint smile, Lu Rui took out a piece of information from the cabinet and started to look carefully.
The Standing Committee will be held tomorrow. For Lu Rui, this is undoubtedly a test. You must know that in the previous few Standing Committees, he has always said that he has not spoken on the grounds that he has not yet understood the situation. Even when it comes to political affairs, he will ask Executive Vice Mayor Li Kaixuan or Vice Mayor Zheng Tongen to explain. This time, the Standing Committee may have to go to the battle himself.
The material in Lu Rui was created by Li Yifeng, executive vice minister of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, when he went to the provincial capital last time. It contains information about all the major cadres at the deputy department level and above in Renqing City, including their promotion history and specific political achievements. Lu Rui believes that he can see a lot of useful things from this.
The most important topic of the upcoming Standing Committee is the candidate for the county magistrate of Xiushui County, under Renqing City. Of course, Lu Rui is very clear that he has little say in this matter, or, in this case, he basically has no say in personnel appointments that are heavyweight related to the division of forces. It is very likely that his opinions will be ignored by both parties and directly humiliated himself on the Standing Committee. Lu Rui will not do such a thing.
After slowly reading the documents in his hand, Lu Rui picked up the teacup on his desk and took a sip. The situation is very complicated now, and how to open up the situation in such a complicated situation is his ability. Lu Rui believes that only at the right time and taking advantage of the right opportunity can the best time to make his own voice sound.
But where is this opportunity?
Lu Rui knew very well that whether it was Huang Zhanjun, the secretary of the municipal party committee, Zhang Dong, or other forces in Renqing City, these people were very cautious about themselves. Even some bigwigs in the provincial capital had a negative attitude towards throwing themselves over. This could be judged by not seeing the main leaders of the provincial party committee when he took office. More importantly, Lu Rui knew that his faction was not strong in G Province, and it was already doing his best to send Lu Mo, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, to help. Lu Mo may not even be in a better position in the provincial party committee, so Lu Rui did not visit this family now. He knew very well that both of them needed time and time to adapt to the new working environment.
At this moment, the phone on the table vibrated. It was Zhao Qianjin. Lu Rui laughed and pressed the answer button and said, "Brother Qianjin, why did you remember to call me?"
Zhao Qianjin smiled proudly and said, "Brother, I'm retired from the army, and the company has been registered. My brother and sister sent someone to talk to us yesterday. The funds for the new company have also been in place. Isn't you tell your brother quickly? How about it, when can we enter Renqing?"
Lu Rui then remembered that Zhao Qianjin had told him before that he wanted to start a company. At that time, he meant to let Lin Ruolan inject capital. Zhao Qianjin, Luo Yongyuan and others were responsible for the operation and set up a real estate development company in G Province. After all, the real estate industry is booming in the future, and Lu Rui still hopes to control this industry to a certain extent so as not to happen when the housing prices in his previous life remain high and the people complained.
Zhao Qianjin's movements were very fast, and it started so quickly. Lu Rui thought of this and smiled and said, "You can do it yourself. I don't care. As long as you invest in Renqing City, I will welcome you with both hands."
"Okay, that's it. I'll go in a few days."
"Okay, when you arrive, I will personally welcome you." Lu Rui said with a smile.
