Duan Yanhua called Xu Yishan to hurry back to Hongshan Town, but Xu Yishan didn't have time to talk to Huang Daling about the payment of compensation, so he called a taxi and went straight to the town.
As soon as the car came to a stop, Bai Yu came up to meet him, and told him in a low voice: "When the next secretary loses his temper, don't answer, let him do it."
Xu Yishan's heart sank, and he asked, "My temper? Did I do something wrong?"
Bai Yu glanced at him, turned and walked away without making a sound.
Liu Wen, the mayor of the town, stood on the steps and shouted, "Why are you standing there? Go to the conference room for a meeting."
The town cadres walked towards the meeting room in twos and threes. Xu Yishan walked a few steps, but was stopped by Liu Wen. Seeing that there was no one around, he asked him, "Xiao Xu, where did you go today?"
Xu Yishan whispered back to him: "I went to the city to find someone."
"Have you gone to Huangdaling?" Liu Wen said with a half-smile, "You just came to Hongshan Town, and you don't understand some things, so don't mind your own business."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Duan Yanhua holding a notebook in his hand, and his face turned livid.
He glanced at Xu Yishan, without saying a word, he went upstairs to the meeting room.
Hongshan town meetings have always been irregular. Usually, Duan Yanhua called the meeting temporarily. If he fails to show up for a meeting, Duan Yanhua will not show any sympathy, and will slap the table and scold his mother.
Hongshan is a big town, and there are many people in meetings.
Xu Yishan secretly counted, and there are more than thirty cadres, large and small.
This is only the heads of various departments. If all the cadres and workers in the town sit together for a meeting, the meeting room will not be able to sit at all.
Xu Yishan chose a seat at the back to sit. This made it easier for him to observe the actions of Duan Yanhua and Liu Wen, but Duan Yanhua might not be able to pay attention to him.
But before he could sit still, Duan Yanhua turned his head and whispered a few words to Liu Wen. Liu Wen stood up, waved towards Xu Yishan and said, "Little Xu, why are you sitting in the back? Sit in the front."
Xu Yishan got up awkwardly, squeezed through the crowd, and sat in the seat Liu Wen specially vacated for him.
As soon as he sat down, he realized that he and Duan Yanhua were face to face. As long as the two parties raise their heads, the one who catches the eyes must be the other party.
Sitting next to him was another deputy mayor, and beyond that was the director of the town people's congress.
Bai Yu was also sitting in the first row, but there was at least three or four people away from Xu Yishan.
There has never been a round table practice in Hongshan town meetings. Both the secretary and the mayor sat on the rostrum, face to face with the comrades participating in the meeting.
This rule was changed after Duan Yanhua came to Hongshan Town. In the past, Hongshan Town held round table meetings.
Liu Wen presided over the meeting, briefly talked about some of the work of Hongshan Township at this stage, and also talked about the losses caused by the last flood passing through Hongshan Township.
Liu Wen finished speaking quickly. At the end, he deliberately coughed, cleared his throat, and raised his voice a lot. He said with emotion: "Next, we will ask Secretary Duan to give important instructions."
Liu Wen took the lead in applauding, and the applause below became enthusiastic.
Xu Yishan clapped along, deliberately clapping hard, almost turning his hands red.
The applause lasted at least two minutes before Duan Yanhua raised his head, swept the venue with satisfaction, and raised his hand to signal to stop the applause.
As soon as Duan Yanhua opened his mouth, Xu Yishan felt something was wrong.
"Comrades, I invite you to come to this meeting today. There are several very important issues that need to be consulted. At the same time, I suggest that it is necessary to carry out an internal work style and discipline education."
Duan Yanhua talked about the economic construction of the whole town for a while, and highly praised the post-disaster investigation and reconstruction work led by Liu Wen.
A few minutes later, Duan Yanhua suddenly changed the topic to Hongqiao reconstruction.
He glanced at Xu Yishan intentionally or unintentionally, then looked over Xu Yishan's head, inspecting the dozens of cadres sitting behind him.
"Comrades, this year our Hongshan Town has encountered floods that have never happened in a century. In this flood fighting, there have been many heroic deeds. I have already discussed with Mayor Liu. Next, the town will ask for credit for them. We should call on the people of the whole town to learn from these comrades. However, there have also been deplorable incidents, so that our Hongshan Town is still troubled.¡±
"Here, I would like to mention our new deputy mayor Xu Yishan. Mayor Xu is young, energetic and enterprising, and is a role model for us all to learn from."
He took the lead in applauding, his eyes fell on Xu Yishan, and he nodded slightly in greeting.
Xu Yishan was panicked, applauding and not applauding.
"I can announce a situation now. When the big flood hit our Hongshan Town, Mayor Xu acted decisively and blew up the Hongqiao to ensure that the flood passed through Hongshan Town smoothly and protected the lives and property of the people in the town. Why did this matter happen before the town? Unclear? I can tell everyone responsibly today that it was a decision made by our town party committee and government to protect our comrades."
"Comrade Xu Yishan's decision plays a very important decisive role in extraordinary times. This is worth learning from."
The applause broke out again.
The more Xu Yishan listened to it, the more he felt uncomfortable. There was a meeting in the town, why did he keep talking about him alone?
Duan Yanhua suddenly changed the subject: "However, some of our comrades think they are great, and the world is his, so they can do whatever they want. This is an unhealthy trend, and we must stop this unhealthy trend."
After Duan Yanhua finished speaking, he took a special look at Xu Yishan, and asked with a smile: "Mayor Xu, do you think so?"
Xu Yishan replied nervously: "Yes, secretary, you are right."
Duan Yanhua clapped his palms on the table and said, "Okay, since Mayor Xu thinks what I said is all right, then let's ask Mayor Xu to talk about his investment promotion in Yanjing."
Xu Yishan was taken aback for a moment, he went to Yanjing by himself and didn't talk about attracting investment. When he reported to Duan Yanhua at that time, he just proposed to go to Yanjing to find acquaintances, to see if it was possible to get a sum of money to come back and repair the bridge.
He hesitated and did not move, his face flushed.
Duan Yanhua smiled and said: "What? Mayor Xu, do you still want to keep it? Let me introduce your experience, so that we local steamed bun cadres will know how to find a way in the future."
There was laughter in the conference room.
This laughter sounded so harsh to Xu Yishan, Duan Yanhua's words were tantamount to deliberately humiliating him.
No one in Hongshan Town knew that Xu Yishan went to Yanjing, not only did he not get any money back, but he even brought accusations from Yanjing. He was taken away by the Disciplinary Committee for investigation, and anyone who understands understands that he is looking for Xu Yishan's fault, and find out what kind of relationship he has in Yanjing.
Xu Yishan was very embarrassed, and whispered: "Secretary Duan, I don't have much experience to talk about."
Duan Yanhua frowned, slammed his fingers on the table and said: "Mayor Xu, are you not giving everyone face? Come up, come up and say."
He stood up, gave up his seat, and signaled Xu Yishan to go up and talk.
Xu Yishan shook his hands and said, "Secretary Duan, I really have nothing to say."
Duan Yanhua's face sank, he slammed the table and shouted: "Comrade Xu Yishan, did you do it on purpose?"
Having said that, he grabbed a stack of material paper in front of him, and threw it towards Xu Yishan. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
