Chapter 850 Behind the Achievement Project (October
Lu Rui was not a fool. Since Jiang Feng could say such things to him, it meant that at least Jiang Feng was not his opponent. After Jiang Feng went out, Lu Rui asked Zhang Haiyang to come in and clean up, and then asked: "What about environmental protection?"
Do you understand this Jiang Feng in the Bureau?"
Zhang Haiyang has been a reporter in Renqing City for ten years, and his understanding of the city is much better than that of Lu Rui, the mayor who has been in office for less than half a year. Lu Rui usually asks him about anything.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Haiyang said: "Director Jiang was the deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office at first. Later, he seemed to have offended some leader, so he was transferred to the Environmental Sanitation Bureau. He has never been promoted. It has been six or seven years."
Lu Rui nodded: "Do you know who you offended?"
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Haiyang said: "It seems to be Governor Wu. I heard that when Governor Wu came to inspect, Director Jiang who was in charge of the reception had a problem."
Lu Rui hummed and continued to ask: "Do you know about the Daming Development Zone?"
Zhang Haiyang's expression changed, and he nodded: "The Daming Development Zone was established when Governor Wu was in office, and was later classified as a provincial development zone. Most of the companies in it were also established when Governor Wu was in office.
Come, so………………”
He didn't need to say any more, Lu Rui already understood what Zhang Haiyang meant. To put it bluntly, the Daming Development Zone was the political achievement project of Governor Wu Zhi.
The so-called performance projects and image projects are carried out by some leading cadres for personal or small group purposes and interests, regardless of the needs of the masses and local realities, and at the expense of people and money by using their power. They are flashy and ineffective, but may be used to advertise themselves and small groups.
A project of political achievement.
Since ancient times, people who are officials have hoped to achieve "political achievements" and gain a good reputation. However, when "political achievements" are added to "projects", the nature has changed. When it comes to "political achievements projects", people always
It is natural to associate it with negative evaluations such as "formalism", "wasting people and money", and "gaining political capital".
Although "political achievement project" is derived from "political achievement", "political achievement" and "political achievement project" are two different concepts. From the day of its "birth", "political achievement project" has the same connotation and meaning as "political achievement".
There is a fundamental difference in direction. "Achievement" refers to "serving an official for one term and benefiting one party" and the actual results of working for the party and the people. "Achievements", on the other hand, mixes personal vanity and politics into political achievements.
It has a utilitarian component. It is even regarded by some as a "stepping stone" for merit promotion, which is the so-called "image project". In the eyes of ordinary people, "achievement project" is synonymous with eagerness for quick success and fame. And more importantly,
Some leading cadres were promoted with the help of performance projects, and the mess they left behind caused irreparable losses to the local people. In order not to offend those leaders who climbed to the top because of performance projects, the succeeding leaders could only hold their noses and endure it.
Already.
After all, the only people who suffered losses in the whole incident were the innocent people.
The Daming Development Zone in Renqing City is exactly like this. Governor Wu Zhi initially launched this achievement project, which attracted a large number of serious polluting enterprises. Although he obtained a large amount of profits and taxes at that time, it naturally also made him successful.
Although it has made great achievements in developing the economy, in fact, this development zone has become a "cancer" in Renqing City. The existence of a large number of serious polluting enterprises has made the Daming Economic Development Zone a bane that affects the quality of the water source of the Mushan Reservoir. And governments at all levels because
Afraid of the existence of Wu Zhi, they dare not speak out against these polluting companies. As Jiang Feng said, even if the Environmental Protection Bureau investigates and punishes these companies, it cannot completely eradicate the source of the pollution. The root lies here, and he has such a big backer as the provincial governor.
Now, who dares to touch this development zone?
Sighing, Lu Rui knew that he had received another hot potato. If he did not handle this matter well, he would really offend Wu Zhi, the provincial governor.
After thinking for a while, Lu Rui asked Zhang Haiyang again: "What is the relationship between Mayor Jiang and Governor Wu?"
Zhang Haiyang nodded: "Mayor Jiang used to be the director of the Daming Economic Development Zone Management Committee and was appointed by Governor Wu."
Lu Rui smiled, no wonder Jiang Sixi had such an attitude. It turned out that he was from Wu Zhi and was placed in Renqing City to watch the Daming Economic Development Zone.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Rui decided to test Jiang Sixi's attitude and said to Zhang Haiyang: "Go and invite Mayor Jiang here."
Zhang Haiyang nodded, turned and left the office.
After a while, Jiang Sixi came to Lu Rui's office. Lu Rui stretched out his hand to gently sit down on the sofa. After Zhang Haiyang served tea to the two of them and left, Lu Rui slowly asked: "Mayor Jiang's opinion on the pollution of the reservoir?"
What do you think about this matter?"
Jiang Sixi's face was full of smiles. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Mayor, you are joking. You are the mayor on this matter, so of course it is you who makes the decision."
Lu Rui shook his head: "I just want to ask for your opinion. Since it is clear that the companies in the Daming Economic Development Zone are illegally discharging pollutants, I am going to shut down these companies and make rectifications. What do you think?"
Jiang Sixi was slightly startled at first, then pondered for a moment and said, "Mayor Lu, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to do this, right?"
Lu Rui smiled: "What's wrong? Since we discharge pollutants in violation of regulations, we have to accept the punishment from our government. If the company thinks that Renqing City's standards are too strict, they can just move out. In short, we in Renqing
The city government will never trade the safety of people's lives for economic development. Mayor Jiang, don't forget, the Daming Water Plant supplies half of the domestic water in Renqing City, and the water used by the water plant comes from the reservoir.
How can the people drink such water with confidence?"
Hearing Lu Rui's words, Jiang Sixi was speechless. After all, Wu Zhi's matter could not be brought to the table. It was an unspoken rule that everyone knew very well. However, Mayor Lu did not act according to common sense. Could it be that
, isn’t he afraid that Governor Wu will cause trouble for him?
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Sixi said: "Since the mayor plans to do this, I support your opinion, and the Environmental Protection Bureau and the Health Bureau will fully cooperate."
Lu Rui nodded: "This is best. I will leave this matter to you. You must make it clear to those companies. The reason why we take measures against them is because what they do exceeds what investors should do."
Do these businessmen think that our Renqing City Government will ignore people's lives for the sake of the economic benefits brought by their investment?"
Jiang Sixi's body trembled, and he looked at Lu Rui thoughtfully. He wondered if Mayor Lu was implying something, but seeing Lu Rui's calm expression, he couldn't say anything, he could only
He secretly hid the suspicion in his heart and nodded in agreement: "We must follow the mayor's instructions."
Looking at his leaving figure, a sneer appeared at the corner of Lu Rui's mouth. This man really knows how to do Tai Chi. He just followed the mayor's instructions and completely shied away all the responsibilities on himself, in case the provincial government investigates him.
If it comes down, it can be completely blamed on the mayor, Lu Rui.
Shaking his head, Lu Rui knew very well that his order might really offend Wu Zhi, but he had no choice. If he didn't offend Wu Zhi, it would be equivalent to suppressing the pollution issue. Lu Rui not only had a bad conscience,
More importantly, this will become a time bomb. Once someone finds out, he, the newly appointed mayor, will take the blame for Wu Zhi's wrong decision, and something big will undoubtedly happen.
Lu Rui is not stupid enough to take the blame for others.
At noon, Lu Rui's phone rang, and it was Zhang Dong.
"Mayor, I heard that you slammed the table at the government office meeting?" Zhang Dong said with a smile.
Lu Rui nodded: "Yes, I didn't expect that the news spread very quickly, and Secretary Zhang already knew about it." Although he said that, Lu Rui felt a little unhappy in his heart, and the mayor's office meeting didn't even happen.
The news reached the municipal party committee within two hours. It seems that some people are not worried about it.
Zhang Dong smiled and said: "I know a little about Comrade Jiang Feng, and he is a little pedantic, but he is a principled person. Governor Wu also praised him in this way, so he was appointed as the director of the Municipal Party Committee Office to be the Environmental Protection Director.
Yes, you must know that the Daming Development Zone is a project started by our provincial governor. It shows that the provincial governor attaches great importance to environmental protection work. Otherwise, how could he let such a principled comrade go there?"
Frowning, Lu Rui knew that Zhang Dong was praising him. Although it looked like a compliment, he actually told him about the grudge between Wu Zhi and Jiang Feng, as well as the relationship between Wu Zhi and the Daming Economic Development Zone.
, the purpose is naturally to make yourself more careful and not to be taken advantage of.
In Zhang Dong's view, he and Lu Rui are now on the same line. Zhou Tongru, deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, did not protect Zhang Dong in the last incident. This made Zhang Dong very dissatisfied. Following a leader is to a large extent
He hoped that someone would protect him at the critical moment, but it was obvious that Zhou Tongru chose to remain silent, which made Zhang Dong very disappointed with him. On the contrary, it was Lu Rui's helping hand at the critical moment that greatly increased Zhang Dong's affection for the young mayor.
In the officialdom, it is most important to please people from both sides, especially at the city and county level. Everyone will always draw camps, who do you belong to, and who do I belong to? Everyone has his or her own camp affiliation.
The complicated game at the provincial level is different. At the city and county level, if you want to have both sides or be alone, the end result will not be much better. Either you will stay in the same place for the rest of your life and not get a promotion, or you will be kicked out when something goes wrong.
Several forces compromised and then threw him out as a scapegoat.
After that incident, although Lu Rui and Zhang Dong seemed to have no problems, and they only said hello when they met, sometimes Zhang Dong supported Lu Rui's opinions at the Standing Committee, and sometimes they had differences, but in reality
Last month, Zhang Dong and Lu Rui had talked on the phone several times. Not only did they express their gratitude to Lu Rui, but they also asked Lu Rui for his opinions on certain important personnel appointments. The meaning of the phrase "we stand together in the same boat" is naturally self-evident.
