Chapter 2063 Headache

The corners of Tang Shaoying's mouth rose slightly, and a barely perceptible smug look flashed in his eyes.

Liu Fusheng responded with a smile, and their eyes met briefly. Then, the provincial leader who presided over the meeting began his speech.

The province first affirmed the economic development work of various prefecture-level cities in eastern Guangdong during this period, and emphasized several key projects supported by the province.

Then, the leader said: "This government work conference may take a little longer because more than half of the cities in our province have proposed new plans and new applications. In order to ensure the principles of fairness, openness and impartiality, the provincial government has decided to bring all the controversial projects to the meeting for public discussion."

"All the comrades present at the meeting are welcome to speak freely about any ideas they have. I hope that everyone will give full play to their subjective initiative, introduce their proposed planning projects well, and strive for better development opportunities for their cities."

The procedure of the provincial government work conference seems to be slightly different from usual. In fact, everyone knows that the province has already conducted internal discussions on which plans to pass, which plans to reject, which city to give to, and how much funding to approve.

At the current meeting, letting everyone participate in the discussion is probably just a formality. In the end, the final decision will be made by the provincial leaders.

When there are differences of opinion between superiors and subordinates, they must obey the authority and the leadership.

Generally speaking, no one would be in a hurry to speak at this time, but this time, Liu Fusheng raised his hand and turned on the microphone in front of him and said, "Hello, leaders and comrades. I am Liu Fusheng, the secretary of the Chaojiang Municipal Party Committee. Since the provincial work meeting needs to hold an open discussion on the plan, I will throw out some ideas to stimulate discussion."

"Why didn't the province give a clear opinion on the planning application submitted by Jiyang City in Chaojiang District to build Jiyang International Airport? Neither Chaojiang nor Jiyang has received any notice from the provincial leaders."

"I would like to ask the leaders, there is no specific rectification advice, nor is there any notification that the application has been approved. What does this mean? Is there any problem with our planning application? Can Jiyang International Airport be built?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly became chaotic.

The provincial leader who was presiding over the meeting also showed a hint of displeasure on his face. He did not expect that Secretary Liu from Chaojiang City would disrupt the rhythm of his meeting.

Even Secretary Zhao of Jiyang City said nothing, why are you joining in the fun?

The leader was about to speak when Tang Shaoying, the full-time deputy secretary of the provincial party committee who was attending the meeting, cleared his throat and turned on the microphone and said, "Secretary Liu, let me answer this question. Regarding the planning application of Jiyang International Airport, our province has indeed not communicated with you, nor has it given any modification opinions. After research by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and relevant provincial departments, we unanimously believe that this plan is not worth rectifying and discussing. Therefore, there is no need for public discussion at this government work meeting."

Tang Shaoying didn't lay the groundwork or waste time, and directly answered the question raised by Liu Fusheng.

If it were someone else, they would definitely be extremely embarrassed and ashamed. After all, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee was speaking in person, and ordinary prefecture-level city leaders would certainly not dare to openly contradict him.

But Liu Fusheng is not ordinary. He has seen bigger scenes.

Before the meeting, Liu Fusheng had prepared himself mentally that Tang Shaoying's appearance here was to deal with him and make him lose face.

In this case, Liu Fusheng would not let him get any benefits.

Therefore, Liu Fusheng did not hesitate at all and said directly: "I don't agree with what Deputy Secretary Tang said."

Suddenly, the conference hall fell silent.

Liu Fusheng also did not keep Tang Shaoying in suspense and directly responded to her.

Are the two sides going to engage in a tit-for-tat verbal battle at today's meeting?

Many leaders present were deeply impressed by the previous provincial government work conference.

At that time, Tang Shaoying criticized Liu Fusheng in public and forced the other party to sign a series of military orders. What will happen this time?

Tang Shaoying was on the rostrum, looking at Liu Fusheng with a half-smile and said, "Secretary Liu, I hope you understand that I am not asking you whether you agree with my point of view, but announcing to you the results of the research and discussion by the leaders of the Provincial Standing Committee and the relevant departments of the Provincial Government. If you hold a different opinion, you can keep it for now, but please do not delay the progress of the meeting."

"You should have heard clearly just now. We have a lot of items to discuss today, and it will take a long time. Don't waste everyone's time by bringing up unimportant things. We can discuss them privately after the meeting."

Tang Shaoying's words were flawless and his temperament was as steady as a rock. He didn't want to give Liu Fusheng any chance to speak. He just wanted to be simple and rough and seal this loophole.

Of course Liu Fusheng would not be defeated by these few words.

He said with a smile: "I know the process of this meeting, and I don't want to waste everyone's time, but it is my duty to give Jiyang City a chance."

"If the provincial leaders had communicated with Jiyang City in advance and provided convincing reasons, I would not have raised the question just now. It is because the province did not follow the normal procedures and did not even give us a reason, and directly rejected Jiyang City's plan to build an airport. That is why I must fight for the power we deserve."

"Deputy Secretary Tang, and all the provincial leaders, if you don't even give Jiyang City the most basic rights, then the relevant leaders of Chaojiang City, Jiangtou City, and Jiyang City will leave the meeting and no longer participate in the subsequent discussions to express our protest against this matter."

Liu Fusheng spoke clearly and his voice kept echoing in the conference hall.

The leaders present at the meeting all understood what he meant. If the province does not follow the rules, then don't expect us to continue to follow the rules.

At worst, we in the three cities of Chaojiang will stop playing with you.

Many people think that if the three cities of Chaojiang do not participate in the discussion and withdraw, the consequences will be that this is not just a protest. It is very likely that Liu Fusheng still has many tricks up his sleeve.

These include but are not limited to the invalidation of the military order he had previously signed in the province on behalf of the Chaojiang region, or the three cities of Chaojiang directly making a big deal out of the matter, causing Yanjing to step in to mediate and involving more people in the matter.

If this continues, the East Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government will appear incompetent, especially the provincial leaders who made the relevant resolutions and participated in presiding over this meeting, who are more likely to be investigated and held accountable by senior officials.

You have to know that Liu Fusheng is not a simple municipal party secretary. His administrative level is at the vice-provincial level, and he has the support of Yanjing's connections. All these aspects are a headache for people.
