"I will not attend tomorrow's meeting. I hope you can think of a way to deal with it then. I also sincerely hope that this project will not come to fruition."
Leng Liang's words made Lei Hong a little confused, but one thing is understandable, that is, he no longer supports the settlement of the project, which is good news for Lei Hong.
"Zhuge Yun is involved in national security matters..."
Perhaps out of temporary goodwill, Lei Hong said to Leng Liang on the phone.
"I know, this is good, it allows me to completely get rid of the heavy burden in my heart."
Lei Hong originally wanted to tell Leng Liang directly about Zhuge Yun, but he did not expect Leng Liang to become so open-minded. This was something Lei Hong did not expect.
While Lei Hong was on the phone, Zhang Tiande, deputy secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, had already left.
Gu Changde naturally heard that the call was from Leng Liang. After seeing Lei Hong hang up the phone, he asked, "Why did he call you?"
Lei Hong did not hide it, "He said that he would be absent from tomorrow's Standing Committee meeting. The shock in his eyes was obvious, which reminded him of why Lei Hong asked him to agree to convene the Standing Committee meeting tomorrow.
And Lei Hong didn't explain anything?
At this time, Xie Dong was communicating with Xie Minghai.
"Dad, I've been feeling distracted these past two days. There's always something fishy about this. From the call from the provincial party committee at the critical moment of the last meeting to now, there's always been a lot of weirdness revealed."
Xie Dong expressed his concerns very worriedly.
In fact, Xie Minghai's expression on the other end of the phone was serious at this time, and if you look closely, you can see that he seems to be struggling internally.
Xie Minghai said, "What is there to worry about? Everything is voted on at the Standing Committee meeting. This is not determined by you alone. It is the will of the majority of people."
Speaking of this, Xie Minghai also said, "Your grandfather said that you should make some political achievements as soon as possible. Let him try his best to make your progress faster."
Xie Dong also frowned at this time, "Dad, grandpa seems to be much more anxious now than before. This has never happened before."
Hey, Xie Minghai also sighed, "Actually, this is also the decline of the Wang family that has given him a big impact. He is always worried that after he leaves, he is afraid that the Xie family will follow in the footsteps of the Wang family. I also feel that this matter is a bit urgent.
.”
"Yes, my original plan was to introduce a few good projects to the Economic and Technological Development Zone. Even if the investment is small, it is understandable." Xie Dong said, "In fact, I did not intend to fight for the ethylene and refining projects.
Even if they have this intention, they will not put it in the Economic Development Zone. Because the cement factory project I promoted in the early stage has now encountered problems. When they came to invest, they guaranteed that there would be no environmental pollution, but now
?Problems have emerged. I also sent people to investigate secretly. They have not installed any environmental protection equipment at all. Even if they have, it is used to cope with inspections. I am worried that the same situation will be the same for these two projects? What are the consequences?
It’s catastrophic.”
Xie Minghai didn't say anything. He was also struggling internally because someone from the top had revealed this to him, saying that the top management was very dissatisfied with this matter. As Xie Dong said, the current environmental protection measures for these two projects are not yet mature.
.Especially it cannot be placed in a suburb close to the population, let alone a place like the Economic Development Zone, which is still upwind of the city.
Thinking about the old man's words, thinking about the decline of the Wang family, and thinking about his embarrassing position, Xie Minghai said calmly, "Don't think about those things now. Rapid economic development will naturally sacrifice the environment. When the economy develops in the future, we can take advantage of it."
It’s just a bit redundant to invest in economic results.”
At this point, Xie Minghai emphasized, "This matter is at the meeting. You just start the meeting and don't mention anything else. Let Leng Liang and Wei Anyun talk about the benefits of the project. In the end, you just push for a vote."
Xie Dong understood what Xie Minghai meant, sighed and stopped talking about it.
"Dad, I heard that Xie Xiang has come back? Did he go to your place?"
Xie Dong asked about his younger brother Xie Xiang.
Xie Minghai sighed, "Yes, I just came back not long ago."
"Then will he still go to the United States? Or will he develop in Shancheng City?"
"I don't know. When he came back this time, I think something happened to him? But he didn't say anything?" Xie Minghai said on the phone with a worried tone, "I guess he will come back?"
Xie Dong heard Xie Minghai's worries and asked, "What kind of job did he do in the United States before?"
"Partnering with a company seems to be some kind of agency."
Xie Minghai's answer made Xie Dong very puzzled. He clearly remembered that Xie Minghai once said that he had acquaintances in the United States. Why didn't he know what Xie Xiang was doing now?
Xie Dong was a little worried and asked, "Will he cause any trouble in the United States? If so, it will be very troublesome."
Xie Minghai sighed deeply, but didn't say anything?
The second standing committee meeting on project investment in Pingxi City was originally scheduled for nine o'clock in the morning, but a sensational event happened right after work.
Deputy Secretary Leng did not come to work, but left a resignation letter on his desk and asked his secretary to hand it in on his behalf.
"What? Deputy Secretary Leng handed in his resignation? Are you sure?"
When Executive Vice Mayor Wei Anyun reported the explosive news, Xie Dong was no longer calm. He jumped up from his seat with a shocked expression on his face.
Wei Anyun nodded firmly, "This matter has spread almost throughout Pingxi City. This resignation letter was submitted to Secretary Gu by his secretary."
"how so?"
Xie Dong sat down weakly.
Wei Anyun looked at Xie Dong and said, "Mayor Xie, do you think this matter is such a coincidence? The last time we discussed the project, I received a call from the province just before the vote; and there is still an hour left today.
The Standing Committee held another meeting to discuss the matter, and Deputy Secretary Leng submitted his resignation for no reason."
Xie Dong fell into deep thought.
After a while, Xie Dong hurriedly picked up the phone and dialed two numbers, but no one seemed to answer.
Xie Dong's expression was a little bad, and his eyes were full of anger.
“Do you want to suggest that the Standing Committee should stop?”
Wei Anyun suggested there.
Xie Dong said without thinking, "This is what I suggested. Now even if we suggest stopping, can they agree?"
Sure enough, before Xie Dong finished speaking, the secretary walked in and told the Standing Committee to continue.
Xie Dong looked at Wei Anyun and said, "Go and contact Vice Mayor Wang and Vice Mayor Zou now. Your attitude must be firm. If both Commander Meng and Minister Liu remain neutral, as long as Secretary Long and Secretary Feng
If one person agrees, then we still have a good chance of winning."
Wei Anyun nodded and left.
Although he said so, Xie Dong still had a bad feeling in his heart.
No wonder I have been feeling restless these past two days. It turns out that there is something wrong with Leng Liang, a key link. Now that Feng Jilai and Long Dejun have not answered the phone, what is the situation like?
At nine o'clock, all members of the Standing Committee sat in their seats on time. Of course, Leng Liang's seat was free.
Lei Hong still maintained his previous posture, with no expression on his face.
Gu Changde looked at the time and said with a heavy expression, "Before we discuss the project, let me inform you of something. I think everyone already knows what it is. This morning, Deputy Secretary Leng's secretary sent a letter
, is the resignation letter from Deputy Secretary Leng. I have already reported the situation and resignation letter to the provincial party committee leaders."
Alas, Gu Changde sighed, "Deputy Secretary Leng can be considered an old man in our Pingxi City officialdom. His departure is a big loss for us."
Gu Changde's words did not cause the slightest disturbance. On the contrary, Long Dejun, Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Feng Jilai, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, looked depressed. A faint look of worry could be seen on their faces.
Xie Dong's expression was heavy, and his eyes kept glancing between Lei Hong, Long Dejun and Feng Jilai.
"Okay, let's not discuss this matter. Let's discuss the ethylene and refining projects that were not completed last time as planned, right?"
After a brief explanation, Gu Changde raised the topic: "Well, let's express our opinions again?"
"Shall I tell you first?"
This time it was not anyone else who spoke, but Mayor Xie Dong.
It can be seen that Xie Dong seemed to have a lot of resentment in his heart when he said this.
It’s no wonder that Xie Minghai originally made a special statement on the phone so that he could not express his opinions clearly, leaving Wei Anyun and Leng Liang to charge into the battle. But God’s calculations are not as good as those of humans, but Leng Liang did something like this.
So this also made Xie Dong lose his due calmness.
Xie Dong said, "The ethylene and oil refining projects are projects that our municipal government has worked hard to bring in. Secretary Lei was right at the last meeting. These two projects were handed over by China to several companies for operation. But
This does not mean that problems will arise after the project is put into production. How dare we say that these qualified enterprises are also state-owned enterprises, do they dare to treat the health of the people as trivial matter? I think it is impossible. Besides, such a project is not ours
The city is the first to start the project, but other places that have already put it into production have not reported any problems? This shows that there is no problem with such a project? Does it mean that we have to be timid in everything we do? What else is there to talk about?
Development? What reforms are you talking about? My opinion is yes."
Lei Hong glanced at Xie Dong indifferently, without any expression on his face.
Xie Dong's statement was basically a flagpole. Wei Anyun, Wang Xufei, and Zou Bingyun all expressed the same attitude.
No one else took a position.
Lei Hong put down his tea cup and said, "I firmly object. I don't agree with Mayor Xie's opinion. How many projects like this are there in Huaxia? Where are the other construction sites? I think this is very important information. Mayor Xie does not
