Xia Xihua replied: "Now Comrade Yu Xiangbo, the executive deputy mayor, is in charge of this work."
Peng Jiasheng saw that his goal had been achieved, which was to give people the impression that he came to Ningzhou mainly to care about the agricultural tax reform, and the investigation of the mining disaster was just incidental. After all, he was once the commander of the mining disaster rescue, and this time he was concerned about the follow-up work of the mining disaster. It's also said to be normal.
Soon the motorcade arrived at the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government compound. Peng Jiasheng also got off the car and met and shook hands with the members of the four major teams one by one, and then said: "Everyone works separately."
Then the group of people walked into the municipal party committee building. According to the arrangement of the Provincial Government Office, Peng Jiasheng and his party first went to the conference room to listen to the work report on the investigation of the mining accident, and then listened to the pilot work report on the agricultural tax reform.
This arrangement was specially entrusted to Zhao Xiaobei by Peng Jiasheng and asked him to explain it to Secretary-General Luo Shengli. Zhao Xiaobei didn't understand why Peng Jiasheng arranged it like this.
Soon the report meeting about the mining disaster at Guofu Mine began. The reporter was Xia Xihua, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. He also spent a lot of time polishing this report just so that Peng Jiasheng could not find fault.
Xia Xihua first reported the cause of the mining disaster and the rescue process. The report also introduced at length the wise command of Executive Vice Governor Peng Jiasheng throughout the rescue process. Finally, it dealt with the results of the handling of those responsible for the mine disaster, and also made some self-criticisms. I also mentioned in one sentence the underreporting of the number of people who went down wells.
Peng Jiasheng listened very seriously. He looked up from time to time to look at the people present. He found that Executive Vice Mayor Yu Xiangbo also listened very seriously. Peng Jiasheng also made eye contact with Yu Xiangbo when he looked up at the scene several times. Yu Xiangbo seemed to feel some of Governor Peng's emotional fluctuations, but he was not sure.
Finally, there was Peng Jiasheng's instruction on the mine accident report. He did not have any special instructions, but he repeatedly emphasized that production safety must be paid attention to, and he also hoped that the Ningzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government would tighten the stringency of production safety to prevent it from happening next time.
Peng Jiasheng's remarks were all normal and did not show the slightest dissatisfaction with the mine accident investigation and handling report, which Xia Xihua did not expect. He always thought that Peng Jiasheng would give some important instructions on this mining disaster, but he didn't expect that it would just be a general speech. He was relieved a lot. But he didn't notice that Peng Jiasheng made eye contact with Yu Xiangbo when he was listening to the report. Because he had been reading the report with his head down.
There was a ten-minute intermission, followed by Yu Xiangbo’s report on the pilot work of agricultural tax reform. Peng Jiasheng was in a different state when listening to this report than before. He interrupted Yu Xiangbo's report from time to time and asked some questions about the bureau. But Yu Xiangbo answered Peng Jiasheng very well.
Yu Xiangbo, who was giving the report, always felt that Peng Jiasheng's eye contact when listening to the report on the pilot work of agricultural tax reform was different from the previous report. He was also very confused and didn't know what Peng Jiasheng wanted to express. After insisting on finishing the report, Peng Jiasheng's speech followed. This time, he spoke highly of Ningzhou’s agricultural tax reform pilot work, and also put forward several of his own requirements. At the conference, he also praised the municipal party committee and government for their support of the agricultural tax reform pilot work, and hoped that Ningzhou can take over the agricultural tax reform pilot work. We will continue to work hard and make new achievements in the comprehensive promotion in the future.
After these two reports were completed, because Peng Jiasheng interrupted the second report many times to ask questions, which extended the time a lot, the next investigation itinerary was changed. Comrades from the Provincial Government Office came to the Ningzhou Municipal Committee Because of time issues, Vice Governor Peng stayed in Ningzhou today to have a meal and rest. Tomorrow he will go down to Ningzhou to see the winter water conservancy repairs.
Because the municipal party committee had a plan for this, it was quickly arranged.
Peng Jiasheng used a little time before dinner to call the secretary, mayor, and executive deputy mayor to his side, and focused on some agricultural tax reform work. They were all normal exchanges.
Everyone drank wine at dinner and the atmosphere was harmonious. Xia Xihua was also very happy. I toasted Peng Jiasheng's wine many times. After the dinner was over, Peng Jiasheng went back to the guest house to rest. When Xia Xihua saw that Peng Jiasheng had no contact with these people from the municipal party committee and municipal government, Xia Xihua let go of all the worries in his heart, and he could rest peacefully.
Zhao Xiaobei declined the invitation from the municipal party committee and municipal leaders and insisted on sitting at the secretary's table, saying that he would have to take care of the chief later and would not be able to drink. Everyone no longer insisted. Instead, Director Hu Xiangkuan sat at the table of the deputy mayors and drank a lot of wine.
Zhao Xiaobei followed the secretaries of the city leaders at the secretary's desk. They had a heated fight and left each other's phone numbers. While leaving a phone call with Yu Xiangbo's secretary Guan Tusheng, he quietly said a few more words: "Mayor Yu's report is very exciting, and Governor Peng is very satisfied." He also mentioned in a very subtle way that he meant to contact him more often.
Guan Tusheng also passed the information he received to Yu Xiangbo. Yu Xiangbo relied on Peng Jiasheng's eyes that collided with him at the report meeting during the day, plus the current situation in the province and the intrigue behind the Ningzhou mining disaster. He came to the conclusion that Governor Peng intentionally extended an olive branch to him. You need to be his pawn, help him muddy the waters in Ningzhou, and then lift the lid on the mining disaster in Ningzhou. Therefore, none of these leaders in the officialdom are exquisite and clear-cut characters.
Based on these eye collisions and ordinary exchanges between secretaries, Yu Xiangbo was able to analyze Peng Jiasheng's true intentions, which also showed that he was a very discerning person. Of course, these were all deliberate arrangements by Peng Jiasheng, but he was just an arrangement. He did not force Yu Xiangbo to get closer to him, but only left the decision-making power to Yu Xiangbo himself.
This goes back to what I said before, why leaders like this state of being able to advance and retreat, because in this way the initiative always lies with them.
If he did not have these intentions in Xiangbo and Peng Jiasheng told him face to face that he refused, this would affect Peng Jiasheng's leadership authority.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiangbo was very excited. Because he saw the hope of overthrowing Xia Xihua, and he also saw his own future. Without stopping, he picked up the phone and dialed Zhao Xiaobei's number.
"Hello, Secretary Zhao. I'm Yu Xiangbo. It's so late, so I won't disturb your rest."
Zhao Xiaobei was next to Peng Jiasheng at this time. After hearing the call from Yu Xiangbo, he looked at Peng Jiasheng. Peng Jiasheng nodded.
"It turns out to be Mayor Xiangbo. Hello, I haven't rested yet. What can I do for you?"
"I want to ask, has the leader taken a break? I want to go over and report on my work."
"Mayor Xiang Bo, the leader has already taken a rest. Ningzhou people are too enthusiastic, the wine is too intoxicating, and the leader is already drunk. I will report the work report after the leader wakes up tomorrow."
"Okay, Secretary Zhao. Excuse me."
"No, no, service leadership is my job. If you have anything, you can ask Secretary Guan to contact me."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Xiangbo became more sure. Peng Jiasheng is extending an olive branch.
Only Guan Tusheng is a little confused, why doesn't Governor Peng see you, the mayor? Did you understand it wrong? Because he knew that Peng Jiasheng was definitely not drunk.
Yu Xiangbo looked at his secretary and just smiled and said: "Xiao Guan, please study with Comrade Xiao Bei. Gradually you will understand."
Guan Tusheng was even more confused. Yu Xiangbo looked at the confused secretary. Seeing that I was in a good mood, I taught a few more words.
"Governor Peng will definitely not meet me alone in Ningzhou City, and even if I meet Governor Peng, I will have to talk to Zhao Xiaobei in detail before I can meet him. You will figure out the rest by yourself."
So when it comes to understanding, some people are good at it and some people are not. Zhao Xiaobei is a very perceptive person, and Peng Jiasheng heard clearly what he said on the phone. He was very happy that Zhao Xiaobei could understand his intentions. It would be much easier for him to have such a secretary.
