Behind the scenes

Chapter 22

Gu Yishun looked at the members of the Standing Committee with a serious face, and presided over the meeting. "Today we convened a Standing Committee, which was proposed by me and discussed with the executive deputy secretary. This meeting will study a problem, the problem of Xiangyang Primary School. As you know, a few days ago, the newly built Xiangyang Primary School collapsed. Although no casualties were caused, the impact was very bad. The provincial TV station exposed it in the news. Governor Xia personally arranged for an investigation team led by three deputy directors to come to our city. They are conducting further investigations , The result will take a while to know. However, the more than 300 teachers and students of Xiangyang Primary School can't wait, they have been wandering outside for more than a year, and as far as I know later, these more than 300 students are real ordinary people None of their parents is a cadre above the deputy department. For this reason, I discussed with Comrade Liu Rong that this problem should be completely resolved within one month. Mayor Liu is very busy with work, and I understand him very well. We discussed it and entrusted Comrade Zimin with full authority to take charge of this matter. I formally commended Comrade Zimin at today's Standing Committee meeting. Within a few days, a very good plan was proposed. I personally agree with this plan. But this matter concerns the overall situation and needs to be decided collectively by the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. According to normal procedures, before submitting to the Standing Committee , the government will hold a meeting to study it, but in order to save time and speed up the operation, the government's executive meeting will be waived. Fortunately, Mayor Liu is the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, the executive deputy mayor is also a member of the standing committee of the municipal party committee, and today we invited the director of education The deputy mayor of the city attended the Standing Committee, and the secretaries and heads of the relevant districts, as well as the director of the Municipal Education Commission also attended today's Standing Committee, so this is not considered as the party's government?" Gu Yishun said this, looked at the Liu Rong, who was sitting next to him, saw that he didn't say anything, and was looking down at the materials he had just posted. "If you don't have any comments, I'll ask Comrade Li Zimin, an advisor to the municipal government, to make a detailed report."

The material has been sent to the Standing Committee members. Li Zimin didn't say a word, just read it from beginning to end according to the material, which took about 40 minutes.After reading, he also said, "The report is over. If there is any inappropriateness, please criticize and correct the members of the Standing Committee."

Gu Yishun nodded in satisfaction, and then said to everyone: "Comrade Zimin has already reported the situation to everyone, let's start discussing!"

The venue was silent, and no one took the initiative to speak.Gu Yishun started the roll call. "Let's talk to the comrades who are present as non-voting delegates. Secretary of the district committee and district chiefs, what do you think? Students and teachers will be diverted. Do you agree or not?"

The secretary of the district party committee and the district chiefs nodded their heads like chickens eating rice. "Agreed. Agreed. Consultant Li has already discussed with us." The secretary of the district committee added: "Consultant Li has also written our opinions in the report materials, and there is nothing else to add."

Gu Yishun nodded, and then asked, "What's the opinion of the Municipal Education Commission?"

Director Shen of the Municipal Education Commission "teng" stood up from the seat in the back row. "We have no opinion and fully agree."

"Okay, I agree, please sit down." Gu Yishun shifted his smiling eyes to the face of the deputy mayor of the government in charge of education, "Mayor Meng, you are in charge of education, can this be done? What's your opinion?" It's very important."

Mayor Meng is a non-party vice mayor, and he has just been here for more than two months. This is the second time he has attended the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. "Agree. Agree. It's a good decision of the municipal committee."

The few people present at the meeting who had a working relationship with the matter agreed first, and the other Standing Committee members all nodded in agreement.Finally, Gu Yishun cast his eyes on the face of Liu Rong who was sitting beside him.

Before Liu Rong came to the meeting, he was not mentally prepared at all, but when he heard the opening remarks of the secretary of the municipal party committee, he understood a little bit in his heart. Get it to the Standing Committee meeting first, even if you bring it directly, you have to communicate with me, the mayor, in advance.As the mayor, I didn't know anything about such a big move to revoke the school. Isn't this a deliberate attempt to make things right?Did he know something about the loss of the mayor, and he wanted to take this opportunity to retaliate. After he finished reading the report materials in advance, he also figured out what was going on, and the core was Liu Yunna's money.They knew about my relationship with Liu Yunna, so they made a surprise attack and wanted to catch me off guard.Just as he was thinking, Gu Yishun called his name, "Comrade Liu Rong please express your opinion."

Liu Rong raised his head and found that everyone's eyes were on him.He smiled and said: "I completely agree with the report of Consultant Li. Just like what Secretary Gu said just now, Comrade Zimin has come up with such a person through in-depth investigation and research in such a short period of time. A plan that is satisfactory to everyone is indeed rare! As the mayor, I also really appreciate Comrade Zimin’s hard work. If there is anything to add, it is about the issue of compensation for the first construction company. It is justified. But the specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail. First Construction Company is a large and medium-sized enterprise in our city, which has been losing money for many years. The task of relocating and renovating Xiangyang Primary School was entrusted to them at the beginning, and it was for this reason, so that they can earn some money. , to support so many workers, otherwise the workers would not be able to pay wages, and they would go to the government to petition every day, and we have no choice. Now that the First Construction Company has not done this job well, can they come up with the 240 million yuan? I think I’m afraid it’s enough. Is it possible to do this? Yijian Company can’t afford so much money for a while, so they can pay it first, keep an account in the district, do it in advance, and pay them later when they have money. If the district disagrees, If you have to receive people with one hand and money with the other, should you get some from the municipal finance, and then list some from the city education surcharges of the Municipal Education Commission, and the problem will be solved.”

As soon as Liu Rong finished speaking, Gu Yishun picked up the words. "With regard to the issue of payment, I think it should still be taken by the First Construction Company. This is a major issue of principle. The First Construction Company made money by replacing it with a school, but if something goes wrong, it needs to pay additional money for financial and educational expenses. The world How can there be such a reason? Although I don't understand economics, I did a rough calculation. Yijian Company made a lot of money in this project. Even if they lost 240 million, they still didn't lose money. Xiangyang Elementary School After the new building is repaired, it is another sum of money. In other words, even if they lose money, they are also to blame. Who made them do such a poor job, the real shabby project. How much passiveness has brought to our city ?” Gu Yishun said while staring at Liu Rong. "You may not know that the reporters of the provincial TV station sent the TV news about the collapse of the teaching building of Xiangyang Primary School to CCTV, and the head of the city TV station you sent to the provincial capital did not work at all. What methods did those reporters use to get on the news broadcast? It was all used up. He told our director that the news would not be reported, but he still sent it to Beijing behind the scenes. Our director happily reported it to you when he came back. Fortunately, when I was studying at the Central Party School, there was a My classmate is in charge of CCTV. He saw this news when he was reviewing the manuscript. He knew that I was the secretary of the municipal party committee in Xianghan City, so he told the editor to take down the news first, and he would verify it. My classmate called me Call, give me a good criticism, how can such a major accident happen at this time? I kept reviewing on the phone and said that this matter must be dealt with. This news is not in the news of CCTV It was broadcast on the simulcast, if it had been broadcast at that time, would the standing committee members of our municipal party committee be able to sit here and have a meeting with peace of mind?" Gu Yishun said this, and angrily threw the pencil in his hand on the table, his face full of anger Said: "The money must be paid by a construction company. Within a week, 240 million will be paid at once. The money will first be transferred to the Municipal Education Commission, which will be divided according to the number of students and teachers in the three schools. Comrade Zimin will continue to be responsible for the matter. If the first construction company fails to raise 240 million within seven days, first, the manager Liu Yunna will be removed from her post, and the Municipal Disciplinary Inspection Commission and the Supervision Bureau will file a case for review. Second, the first construction company will be frozen immediately after the meeting Account, seal up the existing vehicles, I heard that just two high-end cars are worth more than 100 million. Third, the Municipal Party Committee is responsible for Comrade Liu Rong to talk to Liu Yunna and report the results of the research of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. She is self-aware, good at doing things for herself, and actively cooperates with the municipal party committee to do a good job. Do you have any comments? No, the meeting will end. Before the meeting ends, let me say that my attitude may not be very good today. If you have any opinions, we will open a democratic life in the future Bring it up to me again during the meeting, and now act according to the opinions I said. The meeting is adjourned."

When the municipal party committee opened the Standing Committee to study Xiangyang Primary School, Liu Yunna was being interviewed by the provincial joint investigation team.The investigation team has already cleared up all the background materials in the peripheral work of the past few days. Now it is necessary to know more about the parties involved, and Liu Yunna is a very important party. Everyone participates together and prepares their own questions.

At 08:30, Liu Yunna arrived at the small conference room on the eighth floor of the Xianghan Hotel on time. Her dress today changed from her usual high-end to very simple, carrying an ordinary women's handbag, with a calm expression on her face.She knocked on the door of the conference room, stepped into the conference room after hearing the voice of inviting in, and introduced herself, "I am the manager of Xianghan No. [-] Construction Company, legal representative Liu Yunna." His big eyes scanned the dozen or so people in the room.

The deputy director of the Provincial Construction Department spoke first. "Please sit down. We are a joint investigation team sent by the provincial government to investigate the collapse of Xiangyang Primary School. This is the deputy director of the Provincial Education Commission, and this is the deputy director of the Provincial Supervision Department. I am the Provincial Construction Department. The deputy director of the department, and the other comrades are the directors of our three departments, and we want to investigate the details of the whole incident from you."

Liu Yunna came prepared.She has some mental preparations, but most of the people in the investigation team are experts in education, infrastructure construction, and anti-corruption. They are in contact with cases every day, and they have experienced all kinds of people and things.Although Liu Yunna reported the process in an orderly manner at the beginning, the investigation team focused on several critical issues.

"I ask you".The Deputy Director of the Provincial Department of Construction first asked questions after listening to her statement. "When you chose that place to build a school, did you know that there was a big hole? You said you didn't want to occupy the big hole at first, why did you occupy it later? Who agreed to occupy the big hole? What did you use to fill the big hole? Not really. Empty garbage? Who signed the ground beam certificate? Also, how did the municipal quality inspection station conduct the quality inspection of the entire project? Especially for the big pit, who signed the approved materials Who is it? We investigated and it seems that no one dared to sign. If there is any, we need to check the procedures. Also, who appointed the project supervisor, is there any procedure? Has the whole project been tendered?" A series of question marks made Liu Yunna Sweaty head.

The deputy director of the Provincial Supervision Department took up the conversation and continued to ask: "It turns out that the construction of commercial outlets at the Xiangyang Primary School site, how much was the total construction cost, how many square meters were built, how many square meters did you sell, how much did you sell, and what did you earn?" How much money was spent, how was the money spent, whether there was any bribery of government officials, you are a member of the Communist Party, you have to tell the truth.”

The deputy director of the Provincial Education Commission asked again: "You originally planned to finish the primary school within half a year and let the students move to the new school to attend classes. Why hasn't the construction been completed for more than a year? Did you pay compensation for the class here? Did you know that two of the students suffered from freezing hands and feet?”

Liu Yunna couldn't handle this pile of questions at all.She had no choice but to record, and when she was asked to answer, she said: "They asked so many questions, how can I answer them all at once? I didn't bring some materials, and some things were a year ago, and I can't remember Taiqing, can it be like this, I will go back and prepare carefully, and when I am ready, I will report to you."

Hearing this, one of the directors of the Provincial Supervision Department present seemed to be asking the director, and also seemed to be talking to himself: "Can I let you go back?"

Liu Yunna said: "What's wrong with me going back?! I'm a representative of the Municipal People's Congress. If you want to take any measures against me, you have to go through legal procedures!"

The three directors were right after thinking about it. The director of construction said: "Then you should go back and prepare carefully. You must explain the problem clearly. In some cases, even if you don't tell us, we can still investigate."

Liu Yunna left the hotel and immediately called Liu Rong on the cell phone. With so many questions, without Liu Rong's backing, she would have been really troubled.Liu Rong came back from the standing committee meeting of the municipal party committee and was sitting in the office trying to talk to Liu Yunna about this matter.From Gu Yishun's words, he had already heard that Liu Yunna had no room for maneuver in this matter.But Liu Yunna's character, she has made such a great contribution to becoming the mayor of herself, can she agree to take out the 240 million?
Liu Yunna told him on the phone that there was something urgent to meet immediately, and Liu Rong agreed.The meeting place, after careful consideration, was still in Liu Yunna's car.Liu Yunna drove the car by herself, and stopped 100 meters outside the government gate. Liu Rong walked out of the city government office building, out of the hospital, walked to Liu Yunna's car, checked that there were no acquaintances left and right, opened the car door and got in.The car started immediately and drove towards Shixiao.

In the car, neither of them spoke. When the car drove into a forest in Shixiao, Liu Yunna stopped the car, took off the sunglasses she was wearing, and told Liu all the things that the provincial investigation team had talked about and the questions they wanted to ask. Rong said it again.Wei Lie asked: "What do you think about this matter? Can they make it bigger, and will they get everything else out of it?"

Liu Rong thought for a while and said, "This matter is really big. The Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee has also studied it specially. Secretary Gu's attitude is very firm. If you disagree, you will be dismissed from the post of general manager, and you will be held accountable. responsibility."

"Why did Secretary Gu make such an insult to someone? I didn't offend him!" Liu Yunna asked puzzled.

"If this matter gets bigger, it will affect his political future. Anyone who puts it on will do it." Liu Rong explained.

"Is there any good way?" For the first time, Liu Yunna looked for help.

"The most urgent and best way is to follow Secretary Gu's opinion. The first construction company will pay 240 million yuan to compensate the school, and then Xiangyang Primary School will be cancelled, and the staff will be diverted to three primary schools in two districts. In this way, you will have no responsibility Well, repair the collapsed school and sell it to others, I calculated, you didn’t earn a lot of money, but you didn’t lose it, even if you’ve worked in vain for more than a year.”

"240 million. 240 million." Liu Yunna repeated to herself naturally.

"Don't be afraid to be reluctant to part with the money. Money is earned by people. There are always gains and losses in business. Don't worry about it. Keep the green hills. Don't be afraid that there will be no firewood. When this time passes, you still worry about whether you have earned money. where?" Liu Rong enlightened her.

"Alright then, I agree with this method!" Liu Yunna gritted her teeth and said fiercely.

"It takes a week to raise 240 million yuan, and it can't be too late. Can you do it?" Liu Rong asked worriedly.

"Yes. It doesn't take a week, but within three days, the money can be transferred to the Municipal Education Commission."

"That's good." Liu Rong nodded reassuringly.

"I want to ask you, whose idea is it to do this? Who is behind my back so bad for me?"

"Who can it be, Li Zimin."

"Okay, Li Zimin, you and I will never die together." Liu Yunna had no blood on her face, she gritted her teeth and started the car violently.
