Chapter 6: Strong Town Mayor Showing His Edge

Chapter 6: Strong Town Mayor Showing His Edge

At that night, the rainstorm did not stop as the weather forecast said, but it still began to rain. In the morning of the next day, there was a short rainstorm that lasted up to one hour. The whole Guanshan Town had already become a flood. But because Liu Chenglong and Qin Ruijie had made preparations in advance, although many people's farmland and even houses were flooded, no one in the whole Guanshan Town died because of the flood, and all people evacuated to Tianwang Ridge or other safe areas. It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that the rain completely stopped and the weather cleared up.

Two days later, the flood receded. But on the Heavenly King Ridge, there are still crowds of people, and many ordinary people are still stranded here because their homes have been washed away by floods and they are homeless.

At this moment, Liu Chenglong and Qin Ruijie were even more busy because the flood was so intense that after the flood, almost all the food and other items that many ordinary people had stored in their homes were washed away. Although Qin Ruijie had prepared some supplies in Tianwangling, after all, the supplies prepared by the civil affairs department in a small town were limited, and these supplies were not enough to support the survival needs of tens of thousands of people in the whole town. Fortunately, there were no issues with the mobile communication base station in Guanshan Town, and it still stood firm, allowing two people to coordinate disaster relief supplies to the county and surrounding townships through their mobile phones. However, after a phone call, the news they received left them extremely disappointed. This time, Jinglin County was not only affected by Guanshan Town, but also many townships drowned due to delayed evacuation, let alone material support for Guanshan Town.

Just as the two were in a state of anxiety, the town party secretary Shi Zhenqiang, who had a day and night meeting in the county, and the deputy town chiefs Hu Guangyuan and Wang Xuewen returned. After returning, Shi Zhenqiang immediately instructed Wang Dongyang, the director of the town committee office, to notify Liu Chenglong and Qin Ruijie to immediately attend the town party committee meeting.

The town party committee meeting was held in the conference room on the third floor of the town committee office building. In this flood, due to the fact that the town committee building was newly built for less than 3 years and all were made of steel-concrete structures, except for the first floor which was flooded, there were no problems with the entire building. As the flood receded, it can still be used.

In the meeting room of the town committee, all 9 members of the Guanshan Town Party Committee were present.

Liu Chenglong's gaze swept over the faces of the other eight people present. Secretary of the Town Committee, Shi Zhenqiang, is currently sitting at the chairman's seat, with a very gloomy expression on his face ī N sink. Qin Ruijie, Deputy Secretary of the Town Committee, sat opposite her, bowing her head to play with her beautiful nails. Hu Guangyuan, member of the Party Committee and Executive Deputy Town Mayor, Wang Xuewen, member of the Party Committee and Deputy Town Mayor, Shi Jingzhou, member of the Organization Committee, and Jiang CH, member of the Propaganda Committee ū N Yan, Minister of Armed Forces Yin ch ū N Hua and Meng Huan, the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, sat in chairs with different expressions and remained silent. The entire conference room appears very dull.

Shi Zhenqiang coughed lightly and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, today is the first party committee we have convened since Mayor Liu took office, and it is also a very important party committee. Although I, as the secretary, do not want to criticize others, this time, I must give Comrade Liu Chenglong a good criticism. In this flood control and disaster relief process, you have done very poorly and not in place. Take a look, what has become of Guanshan Town now?"? How did you become the mayor of the town? You should know that you made this job like this. I should have left Comrade Hu Guangyuan behind and let him take charge of the flood control and disaster relief work. Comrade Liu Chenglong, you are still too young and lack work experience. Although you have a red heart, your work methods are very wrong, which has led to very low work efficiency and heavy losses in the whole town. Comrade Liu Chenglong, it's not like me to say you. You just started working for a short time, and if you don't understand anything, you should actively seek advice and learn from old comrades like Hu Guangyuan and Wang Xuewen. Do you think that now the entire Guanshan town... You have made the job look like this, how can I report it to the county committee ǔ Explain it! Comrade Liu Chenglong, you have disappointed me and everyone too much

As soon as Shi Zhenqiang finished speaking, Hu Guangyuan immediately intervened and said, "Yes, Comrade Liu Chenglong, your work organization this time is really lacking in level and efficiency. Look at the county town of Chengguan, where all kinds of work are carried out in an orderly manner. The county party committee ǔ The leaders have all given high praise. Comrade Liu Chenglong, I suggest you take a good look and learn from it. You can't work behind closed doors

After Hu Guangyuan finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire conference room suddenly became tense. Obviously, all the party committee members saw that Shi Zhenqiang's intention was very obvious. He wanted to catch Liu Chenglong as a scapegoat and take responsibility for the disaster suffered by Guanshan Town. This move is definitely enough ī It's shameless and risky, but it has to be said that this move is also the most beneficial for him and everyone. After all, there must be someone responsible for such a big disaster. It's better to find out that Liu Chenglong is responsible than to take responsibility himself. Many members of the committee on the scene remained silent. At critical moments, self-protection is paramount. At this moment, everyone's eyes were all focused on Liu Chenglong's face.

After listening to Shi Zhenqiang's words, Qin Ruijie's face looked very ugly. She had a very clear grasp of Shi Zhenqiang's psychology, but she knew that Shi Zhenqiang had a very strong influence in the town. To be honest, although she admired Liu Chenglong's character of serving the people, considering her own identity, she temporarily did not want to be tied to him, so she could only keep silent with anger in her heart.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Liu Chenglong slowly lifted his head, his eyes flashing with a flash. Suddenly, he slammed the table and stood up, pointing his hand at the nose of the town party secretary, Shi Zhenqiang, and said coldly, "Comrade Shi Zhenqiang, I have to say that you are really shameless and y." ī N insurance, but what I want to tell you is that I don't care how shameless or how y you are ī N insurance, but it's best not to use it on me, Liu Chenglong. Otherwise, I will make you regret it! You just kept saying that my Liu Chenglong organization's flood control and rescue work was not efficient. So, I would like to ask Comrade Shi Zhenqiang, do you know what work my Liu Chenglong has done? Do you know how the disaster situation in our Guanshan town is now? What are the losses in our Guanshan town? How many people have died or been injured in our Guanshan town? How much supplies do we still lack in Guanshan Town? Dear Secretary Shi, Comrade Shi Zhenqiang! Do you know? Do you dare to give me a definite answer

After listening to Liu Chenglong's words, Shi Zhenqiang could only y ī N remained calm and silent. He didn't expect that this young man suddenly went berserk and even pointed his hand at him. Most importantly, he knew nothing about what Liu Chenglong said, and he couldn't answer it now. However, he couldn't be intimidated by Liu Chenglong's aura. Otherwise, it would be a heavy blow to his reputation, which he couldn't tolerate. So he stood up and pulled away Liu Chenglong's hand, angrily saying, "Liu Chenglong, what are you doing? If you slap the table loudly, it proves that you have done a good job. If that's possible, what else should our Party Committee do? Please sit down for me! If you have something to say, please speak up."

Liu Chenglong slowly withdrew his right hand, but still stood coldly looking at Shi Zhenqiang and said, "Secretary Shi, don't play this kind of topic shifting trick. It's useless. Now please answer my question just now. Do you know what kind of situation our Guanshan Town is in now?"

In Shi Zhenqiang's view, a mature official should immediately restrain their anger and calmly continue the meeting discussion after getting angry. However, he misread Liu Chenglong. Liu Chenglong has a military background and always likes to go straight and doesn't like to turn corners. Therefore, his criticism is of no use to Liu Chenglong. Liu Chenglong still chases him closely. In this situation, Shi Zhenqiang also saw that if he didn't answer Liu Chenglong's question, he might not give up. However, Liu Chenglong's question couldn't stop him either. He just said calmly, "I just came back from a meeting in the county, and you haven't reported your work to me yet. Naturally, I don't know how the situation in the town is."

Shi Zhenqiang pushed his hand with a Tai Chi push, and Liu Chenglong's first wave of questioning was declared invalid. After speaking, a faint disdainful sneer appeared on the corner of Shi Zhenqiang's mouth, and he thought to himself, "Liu Chenglong, you are a little furry child. Compared to me, you are even more tender! The officialdom is not something you can get away with with with reason."

However, Shi Zhenqiang never expected that as soon as his idea came up, Liu Chenglong made another move.

After hearing what Shi Zhenqiang said, Liu Chenglong just smiled and said, "Secretary Shi, if you had to say that, I also reluctantly agree with your reason, but I want to ask you, three days ago, when the heavy rain just started, did I call you personally to report that there was going to be a heavy rainstorm here in Guanshan Town and remind you to hold a special meeting on flood control to discuss this matter? Answer me! If you had held the meeting according to my proposal, all the town party committees would have mobilized, how could our flood control work in Guanshan Town be so passive? Seeing Jinglin Reservoir, we would have to open the gate and release it. The water is gone, but you, Secretary Shi, and several members of the Party Committee, said that you were going to the county for a meeting. What meeting was held? Was the meeting important? Is it important for the people, for flood control and disaster relief, or is it important to hold what you call a meeting? Don't tell me any grandiose reasons, Comrade Shi Zhenqiang. I think you are simply cowardly and afraid. You are worried that you will be washed away by the flood, and I have received accurate information that your family has already been transferred. Comrade Shi Zhenqiang, I want to ask you, what qualifications do cadres like you who are cowardly about trivial matters have to accuse me, Liu Chenglong! To put it bluntly, Comrade Shi Zhenqiang, you don't seem like a man at all. Do you know that for over three days, I have been responsible for the construction of the reservoir dam, while Comrade Qin Ruijie is responsible for the tent construction and many people's evacuation work in the Tianwangling area. Comrade Shi Zhenqiang, members of the committee, take a good look. Comrade Qin Ruijie is only a woman in her twenties, and she can easily shoulder such a heavy workload without complaint. Is it easy for her? But she didn't have a single complaint! And many comrades here, as a great old man, don't you feel ashamed? Do you deserve the word "man"! Are you still men?“
