Chapter 2659 Commentary

Tang Shaoying smiled and said, "Comrade Qinghe is too modest. Your letter of intent doesn't have the gambling nature that comes with the Chaojiang region. By following the formal procedures and signing the letter of intent for cooperation, both parties have shown great sincerity. We are only one step away from truly achieving cooperation. If there are no other factors interfering, Zhixiong Group's investment will be 100% realized."

This was said to Liu Fusheng again - you are soliciting investment and engaging in gambling, but foreign investors are still skeptical. This proves that your reception work in Chaojiang area is not up to standard.

To put it bluntly, you only know how to play tricks and perfunctorily appease the public. Look at Yang Qinghe from Pengcheng, he is the one who gets practical work done in a down-to-earth manner.

Sun Hai frowned and thought to himself: Master may be wrong. Tang Shaoying is clearly coming for him. If he doesn't fight back, won't he be trampled into the dirt by the other party?

Thinking of this, Sun Hai coughed and said, "Tang Sheng, the chief designer once said that it doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat. I think it is better to wait patiently for the results rather than commenting on the process. What do you think?"

Everyone present fell silent. When Liu Fusheng was abroad for inspection, Sun Hai had confronted Tang Shaoying head-on in many meetings, thus preserving many interests in the Chaojiang area, especially in Jiangtou City.

At that time, Sun Hai's rank was even lower than it is now. Even though his actual power has not increased much now, his aura has become stronger as his position has been promoted.

Only a few people, including Liu Fusheng, shook their heads secretly, thinking that Sun Hai should not be impulsive at this time.

However, Liu Fusheng did not stop him. Sometimes, people have to encounter setbacks in order to grow. Moreover, Tang Shaoying wanted to target Sun Hai in this meeting. No matter what Sun Hai's attitude was, the final focus would fall on him.

As expected, Tang Shaoying showed a half-smile. "Comrade Sun Hai is right. What we want is the result, not just the process. I would like to ask Comrade Sun Hai, you and Comrade Qinghe both participated in the reception of foreign business delegations. Comrade Qinghe brought Zhixiong Group to Pengcheng. What changes have you brought to Yangcheng?"

"This... situation is different, we can't generalize!"

Sun Hai was choked and almost couldn't speak.

Tang Shaoying's attitude was aggressive. "Yes, your situation is indeed different from Comrade Qinghe's. You are the director of the Department of Commerce and the mayor of Yangcheng, and you are also in charge of Yangcheng's economic development. Comrade Qinghe is only the deputy mayor of Pengcheng. Whether in terms of rank or the resources you can mobilize, you have more advantages than Comrade Qinghe. Am I right?"

Without waiting for Sun Hai to reply, he took out another folder and said in a deep voice, "This is your work record from the time you became the mayor of Yangcheng and the director of the Provincial Department of Commerce until today. In this record, we can clearly feel what efforts Comrade Sun Hai has made for Yangcheng."

This angle is too tricky. Not to mention the work of the Department of Commerce, just the meetings Sun Hai held during his tenure as mayor of Yangcheng regarding Yangcheng's economic development and the efforts he made are all recorded in the book.

Even Sun Hai himself knew that these records were pitifully few.

Sun Hai said in a deep voice, "Leader, you may be overthinking some things. Since I took office as the mayor of Yangcheng, I have never received any work reports from the leaders of any relevant departments. The meetings I suggested and the instructions I issued were all evaded with various excuses and no one carried them out..."

It is a fact that Sun Hai in Yangcheng faces the same situation as Liu Bo in Jiangtou City. His instructions cannot even leave his office.

Sun Hai had been mentally prepared at the beginning, and the situation in Chaojiang was even more critical, so he didn't care too much about it. Instead, he was happy to have some peace and quiet and concentrate on helping Liu Fusheng in Chaojiang.

Unexpectedly, this was a trap set by Tang Shaoying for him.

At this time, Tang Shaoying said coldly: "Comrade Sun Hai, what you want to say is that you are isolated and sidelined in Yangcheng, right?"

Sun Hai said seriously: "That's right."

Tang Shaoying said in a deep voice, "Comrade Sun Hai, don't you think this is ridiculous? You are the mayor of Yangcheng. You can say that all the cadres in the municipal departments are your subordinates. They have responsibilities and must accept your leadership."

"If they don't come to you, can't you take the initiative to go to them? If no one obeys your instructions, you can talk to the Organization Department, the Discipline Inspection Commission, and the Secretary. Is the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee just a decoration to you? If the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee can't do it, then what about the Provincial Party Committee? You've been in office for so long, have you ever contacted any department to report the situation?"

Tang Shaoying tapped the table and said, "If any department hasn't properly addressed the issue after receiving your feedback, you can come to me. I will personally hold them accountable and have their responsible person immediately explain what happened... However, if you haven't made any effort, what you just said is completely shirking responsibility."

The meeting room was completely silent, and every question from Tang Shaoying made people tremble in their hearts.

Many things are unspoken rules and cannot be discussed openly. Instead, what Tang Shaoying is talking about now is the real means of suppressing subordinates.

Faced with such questioning, Sun Hai was speechless and could only bite the bullet and say: "I'm very busy at work. I want to sort things out one by one..."

Tang Shaoying interrupted him and said, "Comrade Sun Hai, I'm not criticizing you now, nor do I wish to criticize any comrade. I understand that you didn't do well in the past, and I can even help you recover. As you said, what I need is not the process, not the beautiful words, but a good result."

"You should know that what Guangdong Province, and indeed the entire country, needs most right now is to revitalize the economy. You must do a good job in this regard, be firm in your convictions, and truly work hard."

This sudden change left Sun Hai speechless. Tang Shaoying was the one who said all the good and bad things.

On the surface, Tang Shaoying generously forgave Sun Hai's dereliction of duty, but in fact, he sealed Sun Hai's mouth tightly.

Your boss has expressed understanding and said they will no longer pursue your mistake. As a subordinate, it would be inappropriate for you to continue to explain anything. You might even be accused of being stubborn and refusing to admit your mistakes, which is understandable.

No matter what, the folder in Tang Shaoying's hand contains real information.

Everyone knows that if Sun Hai stops refuting those "non-problems", it will be tantamount to admitting all the accusations, which will become a sword of Damocles hanging over his head in the future.

Tang Shaoying was very well prepared today. He was determined to suppress Sun Hai to death.
