Chapter 20 [The Precursor to the Storm] (6)

On Wednesday, the group of township members finally gathered and held a meeting in the small conference room. The attendees were Wang Boxiong, the township party committee secretary, Hu Aimin, the township mayor and the deputy party committee secretary, Lin Chengbin, the township people's congress director, Li Zhenmin, the deputy township mayor in charge of culture, education and health, Guo Daliang, the deputy township mayor and fire safety, Yu Qiuling, the deputy township mayor and the secretary of the discipline inspection committee, and Geng Xiuju, the township party committee office director.

Seven members of the Standing Committee sat in the small conference room, and the meeting was chaired by the township chief Hu Aimin. After he gave a slew of opening remarks, he handed over the baton to Wang Boxiong: "Next, let's ask Secretary Wang to express his views on the recent situation in Heishanzi Township."

After the stylized applause, Wang Boxiong coughed and said, "There have been many problems in Heishanzi Township recently. Everyone has discussed these problems many times. I believe you have learned a little. As the leader of the township party committee, I feel it is necessary to say a few words. These problems are related to the recent poor work of the township government. I hope the relevant leaders should take the initiative to reflect on whether there is any problem with their work?"

The atmosphere in the entire venue suddenly became tense because of Wang Boxiong's words. Guo Daliang was excited. He originally thought that Wang Boxiong would take moderate measures, but he didn't expect that Wang Boxiong would start to attack the work of the township government when he came up. Of course, in addition to attacking the problem, this sentence also contained the elements of clearing his own relationship. He was telling everyone that the problem was the township government, not the party committee of my township. You, Hu Aimin, wanted to put the shit on my head, but there was no door.

Hu Aimin's expression suddenly changed. Although Wang Boxiong and him were dissatisfied with each other, those were things hidden in their hearts. There had never been any challenges like today. Wang Boxiong's strong attitude made Hu Aimin reflect on what happened. What changed Wang Boxiong's past attitude and made him raise the banner of condemnation so clearly? And Wang Boxiong's open provocation forced Hu Aimin to face the challenge. You are the leader in the village. Now if something happens, you want to put all the responsibilities on the head of the township government. It is beautiful. When it comes to responsibility, you are the first person in charge. Hu Aimin habitually plays with the lighter, but does not look at Wang Boxiong, but looks at Lin Chengbin, the director of the National People's Congress opposite. This makes Lin Chengbin feel very uncomfortable. You mother fight to do my bird business, so I won't mess with you.

Hu Aimin said: "As something happened in the village, as a leader, I will not think about shirking responsibility. If I have responsibilities, I have to take responsibility, and if I have problems, I have to solve them. This is the most basic quality of a Communist cadre!" On the surface, I was talking about myself, but in fact I pointed the finger at Wang Boxiong. In the last sentence, the Communist cadre even directly named Wang Boxiong, the township party secretary.

The other members of the Standing Committee all smelled the strong smell of gunpowder in the air, and they were tense. It seemed that a game between masters was about to begin.

Wang Boxiong said: "Comrade Aimin is very conscious and takes the initiative to recognize his mistakes. The other comrades should also learn from Comrade Aimin!"

Hu Aimin was so angry. I was imitating your mom's pussy. When did I admit my mistake? You want to be fooled by me, but I am afraid you will almost do it. There was still a faint smile on his face: "Yes, I suggest that we all use criticism and self-criticism at this opportunity, starting with Secretary Wang!"

Wang Boxiong sneered in his heart, Hu Aimin, you can't hold back after all. You are not qualified to fight me. Wang Boxiong treats comrades on the surface, and he still has spring warmth: "Comrade Aimin's proposal is very good. Start with me. Don't be scruples. Think that I can raise all my shortcomings in my work and speak freely!" After Wang Boxiong finished speaking, he glanced at the Standing Committee members present, thinking to himself that the person who was not open and dared to jump out first.

Hu Aimin looked at Guo Daliang. In his concept, Guo Daliang was very likely to be the one who was pushed to take responsibility by Wang Boxiong. As for Li Zhenmin, who was in charge of education, he probably couldn't get rid of any connection this time and was within the scope of being ignored by Hu Aimin.

The first one who stood up was Guo Daliang. Surprisingly, he did not stand up to give Wang Boxiong the advice, but first criticized himself: "There have been many problems in the management of the village recently, especially the matter of Hongqi Primary School. As the deputy township head in charge of firefighting, I have a certain responsibility."

Hu Aimin couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he heard Guo Daliang say this, and secretly laughed at this guy's naivety. At this time, he was still thinking about explaining this matter clearly, and if the superiors pursued it, what they wanted to see would definitely be the result. As for the reason, no one would care about it.

Guo Daliang said: "But I also have my difficulties. I have applied for the establishment of a full-time fire brigade in the village many times. I have also made reports on fire equipment issues in various primary schools, but these suggestions and reports have not been recognized and valued by superiors!" Everyone could hear that the target of Guo Daliang's attack was clear, and it turned out to be the township chief Hu Aimin.

Hu Aimin was stunned. He almost thought he had heard it wrong, but everyone's eyes were clearly looking at him. Guo Daliang was dragging him into the water.

Wang Boxiong could not hide his complacency, but he pretended to be helpless and sighed: "The bureaucracy of some of our leaders is also very serious."

Hu Aimin's anger was already written on his face. He looked at Guo Daliang: "Deputy Township Mayor Guo, as far as I say, you don't seem to have made a special report to me on fire protection issues."

Guo Daliang looked at Hu Aimin without any hesitation: "My report and suggestions are all written, so Director Geng Xiuju can prove this for me!"

Geng Xiuju interrupted just right: "I can testify to Lao Guo in this regard!" She is also responsible for the archive management of the township government, and this sentence is quite authoritative.

Hu Aimin started to feel something wrong, it was wrong today. Although Guo Daliang has always remained neutral, he should be closer to himself in private. Why did he jump out and fire at him today? Needless to say, Geng Xiuju, this woman is Wang Boxiong's mistress at all. Wang Boxiong pointed to her, and she naturally went where she was going. The original criticism and self-criticism became the matter of holding Hongqi Primary School responsible. Hu Aimin realized that Wang Boxiong's purpose might be more than this.

Li Zhenmin also stood up: "When it comes to reports, I can report on the construction of the primary school, but I have been tortured a lot. Director Geng should have a record, right?"

Geng Xiuju nodded but said nothing.
