Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 890: Fight between Dragon and Tiger (2)

"Call him, call him immediately! I think it's necessary to ask Sha Ruijin to give a reasonable explanation."

The secretary picked up the phone and prepared to make a call, and Long Fuhai instructed the Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee: "Well, Comrade He Yu, notify all the Standing Committee members immediately.

At 4 p.m., an emergency Standing Committee meeting will be held. I need to revisit the Tianzhou Coal Mine plan."

"Yes!"

No one was surprised. After all, Long Fuhai went through so much trouble just to take control of the Tianzhou Coal Mine again.

This is Long Fuhai's purse.

……

When Sha Ruijin received a call from the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee, he was surveying a large mine.

The situation was not optimistic. The rain formed several turbulent streams, washing the mine tunnels and bringing up black and yellow muddy water, flowing into the mine cave.

If no measures are taken, these mines will soon become interconnected sewers.

By then, it will be difficult to even resume work, let alone make corrections.

While answering the phone, Sha Ruijin issued several orders in succession, asking people to adopt a combination of loosening and blocking methods for prevention and control.

On the other end, Deputy Secretary-General He informed Long Fuhai intermittently of the decision to convene a Standing Committee meeting, and Sha Ruijin immediately raised his objection.

"Deputy Secretary-General He, please tell Secretary Long that I really don't have time to attend any Standing Committee meetings right now.

The situation in the Black Triangle is very critical now. I don’t have time to talk about trivial things with Lao Long.

If he wants to convene a standing committee meeting, that's fine. I would like to invite him to the Black Triangle Development Zone to hold it.

I also ask you to advise Secretary Long that the situation at the Black Triangle Coal Mine is more dangerous and more serious than we imagined. I hope he will pay attention to it!"

On the other end of the phone, Deputy Secretary-General He said nonchalantly, "Mayor Sha, I'm sorry I can't convey your words.

If you really want to speak, please go to the Municipal Party Committee and speak to Secretary Long in person at the Standing Committee meeting."

"Okay, then, let's wait until the Black Triangle Development Zone stabilizes. I'll explain to Secretary Long and the Standing Committee that I can't make it now."

"Mayor Sha!" Deputy Secretary-General He raised his voice and threatened: "I have to remind you to pay attention to organizational procedures.

After all, our municipal government is under the leadership of the Party, so the necessary organizational procedures must be followed.

The Municipal Party Secretary convened a Standing Committee meeting, and you clearly could have attended but refused. This is against organizational procedures, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain if the Provincial Party Committee blames you."

Sha Ruijin also got angry, "It's my business whether I can explain it well or not, you just need to convey it.

Besides, speaking of organizational procedures, I don't think it's your turn as a department-level cadre to discuss organizational procedures with me."

"You!" Deputy Secretary-General He was furious. He was carrying the orders of Secretary Long of the Municipal Party Committee.

But what could he do? Sha Ruijin wasn't just a district or county head, but the mayor of Tianzhou City and the deputy party secretary, his immediate superior.

"I'm truly sorry, but I can't convey your message. Mayor Sha, please speak to Secretary Long on your own."

"In that case, there's nothing more to say. I'll call Lao Long myself and explain the reason." Sha Ruijin said and hung up the phone.

After turning off the phone, Sha Ruijin did not call Long Fuhai, but continued to direct flood prevention work.

Half an hour later, Long Fuhai could no longer bear the pressure in front of everyone and called Sha Ruijin.

Sha Ruijin naturally tried to persuade him earnestly, even using the words "urgent and critical" to describe the situation, but Long Fuhai was not moved at all.

"Comrade Sha Ruijin, please stop exaggerating. What's the urgent need? What's at stake? Isn't that a bit shocking?

If it had really gotten this serious, it would have collapsed a few years ago. I remember last year's rainfall was much higher than this year's, but he still wasn't affected at all? You parachuted-in cadres just love to make a fuss."

Sha Ruijin asked in return: "Lao Long, is there really nothing wrong?

Have you ever visited down there?

During last year's rainy season, dozens of mines collapsed, burying hundreds of people who were not evacuated in time. How dare you say nothing happened?"

Long Fuhai was stunned. He didn't expect Sha Ruijin to have investigated this clearly.

How can mining be done without death?

Development requires sacrifice, isn't that normal?

Long Fuhai avoided the topic. "I'm not going to discuss this with you right now. No matter how much we discuss, we can't reach a resolution. If you have any objections, then go back to the Municipal Party Committee and convene a Standing Committee meeting. We can discuss it properly. If you don't come, I can only assume that you abstained."

Sha Ruijin had no choice but to leave Hong Ping'an here to take charge of the overall situation and repeatedly instructed him to do a good job in flood prevention.

I don’t know whether God will be kind or not.

When Sha Ruijin hurried back, the sky suddenly cleared up.

Half an hour later, at 3:30 in the afternoon, the sun was even more scorching.

Sha Ruijin's heart sank. This was both good news and bad news for him.

……

At four o'clock, Long Fuhai and the members of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee moved from their homes to the Municipal Party Committee meeting room. He was already impatient to consolidate his authority as the top leader, completely unaware that this would be his last act of power.

When the sun came in, Long Fuhai was delighted. He pointed out the window and said to the members of the Standing Committee: "Look at what I said. As long as I, Long Fuhai, am here in Tianzhou, there will naturally be good weather and good harvests.

Sha Ruijin works tirelessly on prevention and control, and all I have to do is sit here and the sky clears up."

Xu Huaiqin, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and head of the Organization Department, said: "Yes, Secretary Long, you are the real sky of our Tianzhou. No one else can suppress this piece of sky of Tianzhou."

The flattering words combined with reality made Long Fuhai feel elated.

He couldn't help but think that it seemed that this dragon of his would really have to continue circling in Tianzhou. Without him, Long Fuhai, Tianzhou would be difficult to sustain.

It seems that this is my home ground. I fell in the provincial capital because it was not my home ground. If I have a fight with Qi Tongwei again next time, I must stay in his blessed land.

As they were talking, Sha Ruijin came in with Ma Lifeng and Gong Qinglian.

Long Fuhai looked at the time, it was 4:13.

Long Fuhai said in a show of authority: "Comrade Ruijin, look at you guys. It takes at most an hour to get from the development zone to the provincial party committee and then to the municipal party committee. Look how long it took you? Do you have any sense of time? Do you have any organizational discipline?"

Sha Ruijin didn't explain; he had no desire to attend this meaningless Standing Committee meeting. He would rather stay in the development zone, making more personnel changes and flood control arrangements.

"Old Long, let's cut to the chase. I'd like you to go to the Black Triangle Development Zone and take a look around. Then we can start this Standing Committee meeting."

Long Fuhai smiled, "Why are you walking? What are you looking at?" He pointed to the sky outside, "I just asked the weather bureau, and they told us that the weather will be very good in the next week, and there will be no rain at all.

The serious problems you mentioned will soon be alleviated. I hope you will stop exaggerating. You are promoting natural disasters with such fanfare. Do you know how much impact and panic it will cause to the people?

I would also like to remind you that you are a mayor. The issues in the Black Triangle Development Zone should be handled by comrades in the Free Development Zone. If the situation really becomes serious, they will also report it.

Instead of you, the mayor, personally going down to inspect, you're overstepping your authority!"
