The car soon arrived at the Municipal Government. The discussion between Chen Xing and Kong Zhengliang was still ongoing. In order to appease the workers, Kong Zhengliang preferred that the city should allocate funds to solve the problem of unpaid wages, but Chen Xing didn't agree, so they had a disagreement.
Kong Zhengliang came to the office with Chen Xing and kept a peaceful smile on his face. Although there was a disagreement, it was just a normal part of work. They wouldn't quarrel because of the disagreement, because that would be political immaturity.
Zhengliang, have a glass of water first. In the office, Chen Xing poured a glass of water for Kong Zhengliang.
Kong Zhengliang nodded with a smile. He glanced at Chen Xing and hesitated. Mayor Chen, how about inviting Comrade Changtao to come and listen to his opinion?
That's fine. Chen Xing nodded.
Chen Xing knew that Kong Zhengliang couldn't persuade him, so he planned to invite Liu Changtao to come with him. Chen Xing had no reason to object to this. He always advocated brainstorming. As the saying goes, two heads are better than one. He and Kong Zhengliang couldn't think of a better solution, so they had a disagreement. So, it was not a bad idea to listen to Liu Changtao's opinion.
As another member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee in the Municipal Government, Liu Changtao ranked third in the leadership of the Municipal Government, just behind Chen Xing and Kong Zhengliang. Therefore, Liu Changtao's opinion was also important.
Liu Changtao asked his secretary to call Liu Changtao's office. He had just returned from the Municipal Party Committee and didn't know why Chen Xing called him. He had just sat down to drink tea, put down the cup in his hand, and rushed over.
When he came to Chen Xing's office, Liu Changtao was surprised to see Kong Zhengliang was also there.
I just came back in Mayor Chen's car. Kong Zhengliang smiled and waved at Liu Changtao. "Changtao, Mayor Chen and I are discussing the issue of Jiangqi. I feel that we should first get funds from the City to solve the problem of the workers' unpaid wages. Mayor Chen doesn't agree with this, so you should tell us your opinion."
After Kong Zhengliang finished speaking, he winked at Liu Changtao. The two of them had worked together for many years and had a tacit understanding. Kong Zhengliang believed that Liu Changtao would understand what he meant.
Because of his angle, Chen Xing did not see the eye contact between Kong Zhengliang and Liu Changtao. After hearing Kong Zhengliang's words, Chen Xing did not rush to say anything. Instead, he waited for Liu Changtao to speak. He also wanted to know Liu Changtao's attitude towards this matter.
Chen Xing and Kong Zhengliang were waiting for Liu Changtao to express his opinion, but Liu Changtao was unexpectedly silent.
Liu Changtao took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and started to smoke. Just as he was about to light the cigarette, he suddenly realized that he was in Chen Xing's office.
Mayor Chen, sorry, I almost thought I was in my own office. Liu Changtao shook his head and smiled.
Don't worry, if you want to smoke, just smoke. I know that you old smokers can't resist the urge to smoke. Chen Xing smiled.
Now the whole country is advocating a ban on smoking in public places. Although we are in the office now, it would be a big sin for me to let you breathe in the second-hand smoke. Liu Changtao smiled and held the cigarette in his hand. Liu Changtao seemed to have made a decision. Mayor Chen, Zhengliang, if you want to listen to my opinion, then I will say it directly. In my opinion, the city should get rid of the burden of Jiang Qi.
Kong Zhengliang was immediately startled by Liu Changtao's words. Soon after, he looked at Liu Changtao, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. To think that he had just hinted to Liu Changtao to cooperate with him. This Liu Changtao was completely unconventional. However, when he thought about Liu Changtao's temper, Kong Zhengliang understood. Liu Changtao's character was like this, he dared to say what others didn't dare to say.
Alas, Changtao, it seems that it was a mistake to ask Mayor Chen to ask you to come here. Kong Zhengliang shook his head and said half-jokingly.
So you shouldn't have asked for my opinion. Liu Changtao smiled. Jiang Qi was not under my control before, so it was not appropriate for me to say more. Now that you asked me, I have to tell you my real opinion.
You can say this in Mayor Chen's office, but don't say it outside. Kong Zhengliang glanced at Liu Changtao. Chen Xing had just been criticized by Zhou Zhiming because of Jiang Qi. If Liu Changtao's words were spread out, what would Zhou Zhiming think? Kong Zhengliang did not want to see that happen. From another point of view, he was also thinking for Liu Changtao. Although Zhou Zhiming was dissatisfied with Chen Xing, it was not easy for him to touch Chen Xing. However, if he wanted to touch Liu Changtao, it was not difficult for Zhou Zhiming, who was the governor of the province.
Hehe, I am just telling the truth. The current situation of Jiang Qi is caused by the connivance of some leaders. In my opinion, the survival of the fittest is the survival of the fittest in a market economy. Since Jiang Qi cannot keep up with the times, it is reasonable for it to be eliminated.
Tsk, Changtao, can't you just say a few words? Kong Zhengliang smiled bitterly. No wonder some people privately gave Liu Changtao the nickname "Liu Dapao". This was really not wrong at all.
Hearing Kong Zhengliang's words, Liu Changtao chuckled and shut his mouth. He knew that if his words were spread out, the governor of the province would definitely be furious. However, at this moment, the three of them were in the office, so Liu Changtao was not afraid that it would spread out.
At this moment, Liu Changtao's words also attracted the attention of Chen Xing. He thought that his opinion of Jiang Qi was very radical, but he did not expect Liu Changtao to go even further.
So, Liu Changtao also did not agree with the city to solve the problem of Jiang Qi's back pay? Chen Xing smiled and said, "Yes, I do not agree.
Well, I don't agree. The city gives Jiang Qi a lot of financial subsidies every year, but Jiang Qi can't make ends meet every year. I don't know what their management is thinking. Since they can't make a profit, then they should use the subsidies from the city more rationally. At the very least, they should ensure that their employees' salaries are paid. Jiang Qi can't even do this, yet they still want to get extra help from the city. I don't think we should set a precedent. Otherwise, after the first time, there will be a second time, a third time, or even countless times in the future. Liu Changtao's attitude was firm.
If the city doesn't do anything and allows Jiang Qi's problems to continue, once the workers' problems get out of hand, I am afraid that the provincial leaders will criticize them. Kong Zhengliang said.
This depends on whether the city has the courage to withstand the pressure from the provincial leaders. When Liu Changtao said this, he glanced at Chen Xing. Actually, only Chen Xing and Fu Jianjia had the right to speak on this matter. As for the others, they could only give their opinions at most.
At this moment, Chen Xing was also deep in thought. Liu Changtao's words were what he wanted the most, but he couldn't ignore Kong Zhengliang's words. Sitting in his position, he couldn't be willful and do whatever he wanted. He had to consider Zhou Zhiming's opinion. Even if the two of them didn't like each other, the higher the officials, the more powerful they were. If Zhou Zhiming really wanted to pressure the city, it would be difficult for Chen Xing to deal with it.
