The two men were arguing. After all, Long Fuhai was the nominal leader. In terms of organizational procedures, the leader had almost absolute power, especially when he controlled the Standing Committee.
As expected, work in the Black Triangle Development Zone was suspended.
Sha Ruijin angrily slammed the table at the Standing Committee meeting and turned to leave the meeting room.
...
At night, the stars are shining brightly.
Long Fuhai drew down the curtains, lay down on the sofa with satisfaction, and turned on the TV.
There is a folk proverb that says, if the sky is full of stars at night, it will be sunny tomorrow.
From a scientific point of view, being able to see stars means there are no clouds or few clouds in the sky.
Without clouds, rain is naturally less likely.
Of course, this is not absolute, but it basically represents most cases.
After watching the 7 o'clock news, I drank some tea and smoked for a while, and time quickly passed to 8 o'clock.
Long Fuhai switched to Han River News Channel.
The important events on the 7 o'clock news were too far away from Long Fuhai. He only needed to have a general understanding of the above direction. His daily compulsory homework was still the 8 o'clock Han River News.
Only the content broadcast by Han River News is in line with the political environment he is exposed to.
By watching Hanjiang News, he can learn about the movements of provincial leaders and thus understand the situation in Hanjiang.
Today he wanted to see if the province had done any publicity regarding the arrival of his old leader.
According to the time calculation, if it were normal process, the Provincial Party Committee should have invited his old leader to make an appearance today.
The second one did not surprise Long Fuhai.
"Former Minister of Industry Cao Hongguang, accompanied by Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Yu Huabei, visited the Provincial Industrial Memorial Hall and Hanjiang Iron and Steel Group for an inspection.
During the in-depth research, Comrade Cao Hongguang spoke highly of Hanjiang Group's development history, achievements, contributions, and spiritual heritage, calling it "an industrial monument that carries the glory of history and bravely stands at the forefront of the times."
At the Provincial Industrial Memorial Hall, Comrade Cao Hongguang and his delegation stopped at the exhibition area of the Hanjiangkou Water Conservancy Project. He listened carefully to the explanation and reviewed the glorious history of the Hanjiang Group since its founding in 1958 with the construction of the Hanjiangkou Project. From its first entrepreneurial period of "self-reliance and hard work" to the construction of a national water conservancy project with all five benefits...
Comrade Cao Hongguang pointed out: "The Hanjiangkou spirit is not only the soul of the Hanjiang Group, but also the epitome of China's industrial self-reliance and perseverance..."
Long Fuhai looked very carefully, afraid of missing anything.
The longer the article given by Hanjiang News, the more the Hanjiang Provincial Party Committee values its old leader, and similarly, the more stable his position will be.
As soon as the last words came out, Long Fuhai quickly looked at his watch.
Three minutes! Three whole minutes!
The length of Han River News accounts for one tenth.
It is ranked second in the report, which is extremely important.
Long Fuhai couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Although his old leader had retired for a few years, his status remained the same as before.
In this way, one's position should be as solid as a rock.
Just when he was feeling happy, the next piece of news instantly poured a bucket of cold water on him. The news was about Beishan, or to be more precise, about Qi Tongwei.
Long Fuhai endured the discomfort and watched for more than ten seconds, then turned off the TV and threw the remote control heavily on the coffee table.
Just at this moment, Mrs. Bai Baozhen came out of the bathroom with her hair tied up after washing up. She was a little surprised to see the TV was off.
"What? Is it half past eight? Did I take so long to shower?"
Bai Baozhen knew Long Fuhai's habits. He watched the Han River News every day without fail and turned off the TV at 8:30 exactly.
But when Bai Baozhen looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, she noticed that it showed 8:15. Looking at Long Fuhai's gloomy face, she immediately realized that something was wrong.
"What's wrong? Who messed with you again?"
Long Fuhai didn't say anything, just smoked in silence.
Bai Baozhen sat down next to Long Fuhai, looked at the TV remote control whose battery had fallen out on the coffee table, reassembled it, and turned on the TV screen.
The screen lit up again, and the announcer of Hanjiang News was telling in a passionate voice how Beishan had become the "benchmark of development in the new era" of Hanjiang.
The camera sweeps across high-rise buildings under construction and neat green belts, and the background music creates a thriving scene.
A clip of Qi Tongwei's speech was cut in at the right time. He had a young and upright face, a gentle smile to the camera, and a sonorous tone.
The narrator did not forget to introduce:
"Mayor Qi Tongwei first reviewed the development achievements of the past year in his speech.
He said that under the strong leadership of the municipal party committee and government, the whole city has overcome difficulties, the total economic volume has achieved steady growth, the industrial transformation and upgrading has achieved remarkable results, the ecological environment quality has continued to improve, and people's livelihood and well-being have continued to improve.
According to statistics, the city's GDP grew by 39.8% year-on-year in the first half of the year, 70,000 new jobs were created, and many indicators reached their highest levels in a decade...
Long Fuhai glanced at the TV, his brow furrowing even deeper. He reached for a cigarette from the coffee table, his lighter clicking as smoke curled up in the brightly lit living room.
Bai Baozhen noticed that his fingers were trembling slightly - this was his habitual movement when he was extremely irritated.
"It's all official jargon. Shut it down."
Bai Baozhen didn't turn off the TV and asked Long Fuhai, "Old Long, what does the Provincial Party Committee mean? Wasn't Qi Tongwei mentioned in the internal reference? Why are they still promoting him? Aren't they afraid that Qi Tongwei will be disciplined and bring shame to them?"
Long Fuhai said impatiently: "I don't understand this yet. The Provincial Party Committee is telling us that Mayor Qi has landed safely."
"This is too science fiction."
"The science fiction is still to come. Today, the provincial government issued a clarification notice regarding Qi Tongwei, requiring the municipal party committee to disseminate it to the city, county, and township levels."
Bai Baozhen couldn't help but sigh: "Qi Tongwei is so lucky, even the internal reference didn't bring him down."
Long Fuhai said in a sour tone: "You don't know, right? He has a strong background."
"How strong is it?"
“It’s just hard to imagine.”
As he was speaking, the news jumped to the next one. Long Fuhai looked at his watch again. It was a full four and a half minutes long, which was longer than the space occupied by his old leader.
Bai Baozhen wanted to ask more questions, but Long Fuhai no longer had the desire to continue chatting and stood up to go upstairs to rest.
At this time, the phone rang.
Bai Baozhen was startled again, "Lao Long, it seems to be the landline of the Hanjiang Hotel."
Long Fuhai hurried over and saw that the number was indeed the number of Hanjiang Hotel. He immediately picked up the phone respectfully.
As expected, the person on the other end of the phone was his old leader, Cao Hongguang.
"Old leader."
"Fu Hai, I heard you started arguing with your mayor as soon as you got there."
Cao Hongguang started blaming people as soon as he opened his mouth.
Long Fuhai was startled and explained, "It's just a disagreement at work, not to the point of a quarrel."
"Whether it's a genuine disagreement or an argument, you're still guilty. Please don't make the same mistake again."
Long Fuhai heard the warning from his old leader. He knew that several senior leaders above him were watching him and would be criticized, which would make it difficult for him, the old leader, to do his job.
Long Fuhai said: "Don't worry, old leader. Every failure is a learning experience. I will pay attention to it."
