Late at night. Lu Yiwei's Public Security Bureau office.
"Secretary Sun, what do you think about Longjiang Coal Industry?"
Sun Gensheng did not speak for a long time and sat there smoking. After a while, he said. "This … how should I put it? From a safety point of view, I suggest letting Longjiang Coal Industry continue the contract. After all, the other party is a state-owned enterprise. They are better than private enterprises in terms of regulations and investment. From what I know, the coal mine has never had any accidents. But from the county's economic point of view, it is better to take it back. There is not a single decent enterprise in the county. Taking it over will be good for the future development. "
Sun Gensheng's words were as good as not saying anything. He also couldn't figure out Lu Yiwei's intentions, so he simply swallowed the information without saying anything. The specific decision still needed him to make.
Lu Yiwei had been struggling for the past two days and could not make up his mind. This matter was too sensitive, and if it was not handled well, it could easily cause problems. The higher-ups were pressuring, and the people were voicing their opinions. Recently, the villagers in Yong Sheng Town had been restless, and it had spread to other towns. There were different versions of text messages on Dong Xuebing's mobile phone. Some said that the new Secretary intends to sell the coal mine and help outsiders. Some said that if Long Jiang Coal Industry continues the contract, they will appeal to the City, and if the City cannot solve the problem, they will appeal to the Provincial Government, or even the Central Government. These words were not spoken by ordinary people, and there must be someone behind it.
After a moment of silence, Sun Gensheng looked at him. "Secretary Lu, have you heard any rumors recently?"
Lu Yiwei shook his head. "What rumors?"
Sun Gensheng lit another cigarette and said. "I have always respected you, and I will be frank with you. Recently, the people have made up a lot of jokes for you. There are many versions, and I will not list them one by one. The general meaning is that you have been in Long An for almost three months, and you have made up a lot of slogans, but you have not achieved anything. You even caused the Tianjin accident and snow disaster … These things are not caused by you, but the people are ignorant and superstitious … So, you don't have to worry about it. Why don't we ask Bureau Chief Fu to investigate who is spreading the rumors? "
Lu Yiwei sneered, waved his hand, and said indifferently, "There's no need. Their mouths are on them, they can say whatever they want. If they can't even bear this little pressure, they should have gone home to sell sweet potatoes. "
Sun Gensheng leaned forward and whispered, "Don't you think this is a premeditated unified operation? There was no news about it before, but it suddenly appeared recently. If it is related to the Longjiang Coal Industry, I'm afraid there must be a connection."
Lu Yiwei could guess the source of the news with his eyes closed. Spreading the negative news on a large scale was undoubtedly to put pressure on him. He snorted disdainfully at such childish tricks. He looked down on them. He said, "Don't worry about him. Justice is in the hearts of the people. What I've done can stand the test of the Party and the people. Moreover, I don't intend to see immediate results. Perhaps it will take a year, two years, or even ten years to understand what I've done today."
Sun Gensheng kindly advised, "Secretary Lu, I don't mean to say this, but I understand your feelings. You want to do something for the people of Long An, but they don't have a high level of awareness, and it will be difficult for them to understand your difficulties in a short period of time. Recently, even the Myriad Dragon Mountains have been filled with rumors, saying that you didn't want to excavate the golden mountain and insisted on doing some tourism and agriculture. There are all kinds of rumors, and it's spreading. If this continues, it will be extremely disadvantageous to you. "
"So, I think you can't change their thinking in a short period of time by yourself, let alone understand your development ideas. He might as well turn a blind eye to it and let it pass. According to the requirements of the city, pay attention to safety and stability, and the rest … "
Lu Yiwei looked at him in surprise. "You think so too?"
Sun Gensheng had a complicated expression on his face. After a while, he said, "Secretary Lu, the situation in Long An is really complicated. Why do people say that there are many unruly people and thieves here, but the overall quality is not good? In addition, many people are not convinced that you came here alone, and some department leaders turned a blind eye to your arrangements. Instead, they listen to Liu Zhankui. So, it is very difficult, very difficult … "
Lu Yiwei was distraught and interrupted, "Secretary Sun, I asked you to come up with an idea, not to talk about this. Let's not care about other things first. What about Longjiang Coal Group? "
Sun Gensheng thought for a long time, then closed his eyes and said, "Follow the will of the people and take it back."
"How are we going to explain to the provincial leaders? The Provincial Coal and Coke Group is a large state-owned enterprise, and we can't afford to offend them. "
"Sigh! This is the pain point of this matter, and we need to find a compromise. We need to satisfy the provincial leaders and appease the local people. If we don't handle it well, it will arouse public anger, and it will be difficult to calm down. Besides, even if we let Longjiang Coal Group continue to contract, I'm afraid he can't do it anymore. "
"What a joke! How can we let a small group of people control the overall situation? What's the point of the County party committee? If we lose our credibility in this matter, how can we keep our face? "
Sun Gensheng stopped talking because he couldn't think of a better solution. It was as if he had entered a dead end, and there was no way forward or backward. There were some things that he couldn't say. The true manipulator behind this matter was Liu Zhankui. With Lu Yiwei's qualifications and means, it would be like throwing an egg against a stone. He was still too inexperienced. He was not afraid of losing, but he was afraid that Liu Zhankui would be defeated like his predecessor, and his political career would be buried in Long 'an County.
The two discussed for a long time, and Lu Yiwei leaned on the chair tiredly and muttered, "Secretary Sun, it's getting late. You should go back and rest early."
Sun Gensheng extinguished the cigarette and stood up. "Alright. You should also rest early. There will be a solution to this matter. There's no rush. Take your time."
After Sun Gensheng left, Xu Changyuan pushed open the door and came in. Seeing Sun Gensheng's haggard appearance, Xu Changyuan walked up and poured away the diluted tea, and the ashtray full of cigarette butts into the trash can. "Secretary Lu, you are too tired. Why don't you rest?"
Lu Yiwei pulled himself together and sat up. He rubbed his face and said, "Make me another cup of tea. Add more tea leaves."
"It's already 11 pm. Drinking too much tea will cause insomnia …"
"Stop talking nonsense. Have some tea."
Xu Changyuan could only do as he was told. When he was about to leave, Lu Yiwei stopped him and said, "Are you going home?"
"I won't dare to go home if you don't want to sleep."
Lu Yiwei got up and put on his coat. "Call Jiang Wei and accompany me for a walk."
"Alright. Do you want to bring the police?"
Lu Yiwei looked at him and said, "Someone will assassinate me?"
Xu Changyuan said timidly, "It's better to be careful."
