Chapter 2064 Reasons for Rejection

So when everyone heard that Liu Fusheng was going to leave the table as a protest, Sun Hai and Zhao Qiuwei also straightened their backs and prepared to express their support for Liu Fusheng with actions, and almost all of them focused their attention on Tang Shaoying.

The matter was handled by Tang Shaoying, and now he is the highest-ranking leader in the meeting place, so he is the only one who can solve it.

Tang Shaoying's face was as gloomy as water. He understood that no one was willing to stand up and help him block the knife.

"Comrade Liu Fusheng, please be aware of your status. You are a state cadre. You should put the overall situation first and not undermine the unity of the province. I hope that before you act, you will seriously consider the consequences of these things."

Tang Shaoying spoke in an official tone with an expressionless face.

Liu Fusheng said with a smile: "As a state official, my duty and mission is not to maintain an official environment where everyone is happy, but to benefit the people of Chaojiang and lead them to a happy life so that they can live and work in peace and contentment."

"You can say that I am narrow-minded, but I, Liu Fusheng, always keep in mind the mission entrusted to me by the country, and I never forget the oath I once made."

"I will persevere to the end for the benefit of the people. I can even accept all disciplinary supervision and investigation. Here, I would also like to ask Deputy Secretary Tang and all the leaders to think about their responsibilities and the oaths they have made, and think about what we should really do."

Liu Fusheng looked around at the crowd and said word by word: "I believe that the various plans and applications proposed by comrades from various cities have been carefully considered and are all aimed at developing the local economy and improving people's lives."

"Some plans may have flaws or be challenging, but these are details and have nothing to do with the general direction."

"It's different in Jiyang City in our Chaojiang region. We don't even know whether the plan we proposed has problems in the general direction or there are huge challenges in its implementation."

"Or, it may simply not be taken seriously by some leaders and directly rejected... Is this fair to Jiyang City? Is this fair to Chaojiang District? Is this fair to tens of millions of ordinary people?"

Liu Fusheng looked directly at Tang Shaoying and said, "Deputy Secretary Tang, I will definitely respect your decision at the meeting and represent the opinions of the organization. However, I will also reserve my own opinion and do what I should do. Thank you."

After these words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent.

Tang Shaoying's face looked very ugly, because the eyes of the leaders attending the meeting below the rostrum looking at Liu Fusheng had changed from initial confusion, surprise and disdain to approval and even admiration.

The habits of officialdom are nothing more than decentralization from top to bottom. Everyone is accustomed to being submissive and obeying authority, accustomed to applauding after the leader speaks, and raising their hands in agreement after the leader votes.

Liu Fusheng's words broke this so-called tradition, and a warm feeling surged in everyone's heart. Some people even fell into deep thought, remembering their original intentions that had been buried for many years.

Serving the people is easy to say but difficult to do.

A few seconds later, Yang Qinghe, deputy mayor of Pengcheng, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly stretched out his hand and clapped softly.

The rest of the people seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and then a warm applause resounded throughout the conference room.

This applause is not only for Liu Fusheng, but also for themselves, and for those original intentions that have been forgotten or deliberately avoided.

Tang Shaoying took a deep breath. He knew that Liu Fusheng's speech was very popular. If he insisted on speaking in an official tone, this guy might take away all the leaders of the three cities in Chaojiang. In that case, his prestige in East Guangdong Province would suffer a great blow.

He has put a lot of effort into building his reputation and image. If it is destroyed this time, it will be a waste of time.

Thinking of this, Tang Shaoying's mouth curled up slightly, his face gradually became warmer, and he said: "Comrade Liu Fusheng's words are resounding and powerful. As leading cadres trained by the organization, we should have this kind of persistence. Here, I apologize to Jiyang City. It is our province that did not do a good job and failed to communicate with Jiyang City in time before the meeting. I promise that similar situations will never happen again in the future."

"In addition, on behalf of the provincial party committee, provincial government and relevant departments, I also made a positive response to Jiyang City's planning application for the construction of an international airport..."

Tang Shaoying was very cunning. He explained the direct rejection of the Jiyang City planning proposal as a mistake due to not having time to read it. Since it was a mistake and he also promised to pay attention to it next time, it was no big problem.

Now he wants to put the matter out in the open for everyone to hear. It seems that he is following Liu Fusheng's wishes, but in reality that may not be the case.

Because Tang Shaoying has already set the tone for the planning of Jiyang International Airport in the name of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, this is no longer something to discuss.

Next, he will narrate this incident in a negative tone, which will completely determine the fate of Jiyang Airport.

After Tang Shaoying finished speaking, everyone below the podium had their own thoughts. Many leaders looked at Tang Shaoying with admiration. They felt that Deputy Secretary Tang was sensible and had the overall situation in mind. He dared to admit his mistakes in public and took the initiative to assume relevant responsibilities. This was truly the demeanor of a great general.

Tang Shaoying said: "The provincial party committee and government treat all cities equally. We have never thought of targeting any comrade or any region. We have carefully studied all plans. For example, although the Jiyang International Airport was rejected by the province, I still remember the content of the plan clearly."

"If I remember correctly, Jiyang City wants to build a modern, large international airport that can accommodate four-digit flights."

Tang Shaoying is indeed very capable. In front of everyone, without consulting any information or asking anyone, he directly stated the planning proposal for Jiyang International Airport.

He is telling everyone with his actions that I am not rejecting Jiyang City's application without reason just because of my personal likes and dislikes.

I have kept the contents of the plan in mind. As a well-known leader in the province, I am very busy with official duties every day. It would be impossible for me to achieve this without careful research.

His behavior instantly won the recognition of many people.

Tang Shaoying glanced at Liu Fusheng and said, "Secretary Liu, and Secretary Zhao, is there anything I missed in what I just introduced?"

Zhao Qiuwei shook his head.

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Deputy Secretary Tang introduced it very carefully, without leaving anything out."

Tang Shaoying nodded and said, "In that case, let me tell you about the considerations of the provincial party committee and government, and the reasons why we vetoed it."
