"First, today's Standing Committee has no option to discuss personnel issues. Second, Fang Yan is just a deputy department-level cadre and is not within the scope of the Municipal Standing Committee."

Li Yuanlang tapped his fingertips on the table and continued in a serious tone: "In that case, the retention and treatment of the more than 6,000 deputy section-level cadres in Lanqiao City will have to be discussed at the Standing Committee, and we, the municipal party committee, will not have to do anything.

Besides, I’m afraid I can’t complete this work alone without sleeping and resting all year round.”

"Everything you do must follow rules. Without rules, nothing can be done. I think some of the comrades here need to reflect on themselves. Your little cleverness should be used in serious places, and used to do practical things for the masses. Don't do this

A despicable and despicable trick."

"I will not pursue what happened today, but I hope this is the first and last time. Whenever something like this happens again, please ask such people to go directly to the provincial party committee and explain to Secretary Nie!"

After that, Li Yuanlang crumpled the piece of paper into a ball and threw it out in front of everyone.

This move surprised everyone present.

Fan Jun, in particular, frowned slightly and immediately lowered his head, drinking water to hide his uneasiness.

Jing Boxiao glanced at Fan Jun secretly, turned down the corner of his mouth, grabbed the piece of paper, folded it into a rectangle, and started scribbling on it.

Seeing Li Yuanlang's anger, the rest of the people imitated Jing Boxiao's actions, and some simply imitated Li Yuanlang, crumpled up paper balls, and threw them into the trash can.

Upon seeing this, Lou Anguo signaled with his eyes to the staff of the Municipal Party Committee Office present.

They came over in a hurry and took away the papers.

At this time, Lou Anguo planned to explain to Li Yuanlang in public that he had no knowledge of placing this piece of paper.

After thinking about it carefully, he decided to forget it. He understood why the description became darker and darker.

Moreover, Li Yuanlang has reiterated that he will not pursue the case any further.

At this time, silence is better than sound, so shutting up is the best policy.

"Okay, let's have a meeting below..."

Seeing the staff quickly taking away the waste paper, Li Yuanlang got down to business.

He listened to reports from relevant departments on material preparations before the Spring Festival, and studied and deployed safety inspections and other work.

Afterwards, the meeting moved on to the issue of whether to implement the ban on firecrackers and the Spring Festival Lantern Festival during the Spring Festival.

He Zheng, deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, said: "Setting off fireworks not only pollutes the environment, but also easily causes fires and other safety hazards. It is really not worth the gain. The ban on setting off fireworks must continue to be implemented."

United Front Minister Qian Yizhong took out his glasses cloth and wiped his lenses, then put on the pair of myopia glasses behind the bottle, and said slowly: "I don't agree with the ban on fireworks, it doesn't feel like the New Year at all."

"We have been enforcing the ban on travel in the past few years, and the New Year is not like the New Year at all, and it is not as interesting as usual."

"The ban on fireworks will make many citizens feel psychologically disappointed, and the cohesion of the Spring Festival folk customs will also be greatly reduced."

"I don't think it's necessary to ban them. They can be lit in designated places. Simply banning them will inevitably lead to the monotony of festival cultural symbols, thereby endangering the continuation of traditional culture."

"We should choose a place that is accepted by the majority of the people and where social safety is guaranteed, and set off fireworks and firecrackers in an organized manner within a designated time period to strengthen the positive function of folk customs."

Executive Deputy Mayor Wang Guanxiong said: "Minister Qian elevated the ban on the continuation of traditional culture, which is making a mountain out of a molehill."

"Set off fireworks not only pollutes the environment and endangers personal safety, but also produces noise and increases the workload of cleaning."

"Just think about it. On New Year's Eve, most citizens can't go to bed until midnight. At this time, the sound of crackling firecrackers will affect their rest."

"It was hard to fall asleep, but when the next day was the New Year's Day, the sound of firecrackers would come one after another, seriously disturbing the people. So, I agree with Vice Mayor He's opinion."

"It makes sense." Niu Bolin nodded slightly, "I feel deeply what Deputy Mayor Wang said. My hometown is in a township, and there is no ban on release there. Every time I go back during the Chinese New Year, from ten o'clock in the evening on New Year's Eve, I will stay until the New Year's Eve.

On the first day of the new year, the sound of firecrackers has not stopped during this period."

"Some children, in particular, set off firecrackers randomly on the street, often scaring pedestrians. When everyone sees children playing and making noise with firecrackers, they all hide away for fear of splashing on themselves and burning holes in their clothes.

.”

Tang Jiang, secretary of the Yuge County Party Committee, added: "I understand very well what Secretary Niu said. Likewise, I also support Minister Qian's views."

"We in Yuge County have been insisting on setting off fireworks and firecrackers at designated places and designated times in recent years. In this way, we can not only reflect the excitement and joy of the Spring Festival, but also avoid disturbing the residents and polluting the environment."

Gao Minghua took over, "I also think this is the best thing to do. To be honest, setting off fireworks and firecrackers is a tradition passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years, and we cannot discard it in our generation."

"Every New Year's Eve, the city is completely silent, giving people a lifeless feeling. It really lacks the flavor of the New Year."

"Occasionally there will be a few firecrackers and fireworks, and many citizens will crowd to the balcony to watch, as if they are seeing a novel sight."

"Yes, I feel the same way." Jing Boxiao said: "If we change the ban on release to restricted release, we can meet the expectations of the general public and greatly avoid harm. We kill two birds with one stone. I agree."

Hong Guangju, Tang Xia, Lou Anguo and others, who had not spoken, echoed one after another.

Li Yuanlang finally expressed his position: "I think most comrades support Minister Qian's suggestion, and the ban on release can be changed into restricted release. We will not vote by a show of hands and let it be passed by applause."

Under his leadership, everyone present, including those attending the meeting, clapped their hands, and the conference room burst into thunderous applause.

Afterwards, everyone discussed the issue of the lantern festival.

Li Yuanlang talked about his views, "Comrades, there are many unsafe factors in setting off fireworks and firecrackers, but it is really inappropriate to cancel the lantern show."

"I think the resumption of the Lantern Festival Lantern Show and Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, together with the lighting of fireworks and firecrackers at designated places, is a perfect ending to the Spring Festival. I wonder what you think?"

Li Yuanlang took the lead in taking a stand on this issue, which set the tone.

The rest of the people had nothing to say.

Only He Zheng mentioned a suggestion, saying: "Qian Pinzheng of the Pinyuan Group once proposed to me that once there is a lantern festival during the Lantern Festival, their group is willing to sponsor 2 million to buy fireworks for all the citizens to enjoy."

Wang Guan suddenly beamed and praised: "This is a good idea. After watching the Lantern Festival lantern show, citizens can collectively enjoy the fireworks show, which can also greatly promote consumption. I think it can be done."

"Pinyuan Group's willingness to do so is a sincere move to give back to the society and citizens. We should strongly support it."

The one who spoke turned out to be Fan Jun, who had said nothing from beginning to end.

Li Yuanlang looked around and asked, "What do you think?"

"Yes, it can be implemented."

"agree."

"I agree too."

Voices of approval came one after another, and a consensus was basically reached.

Li Yuanlang looked at Meng Xianxin, who was sitting in the distance, and joked: "Comrade Xianxin, this is putting more pressure on your public security department."

Meng Xianxin said: "The Municipal Public Security Bureau will definitely increase its police force to ensure safety during the festival."

"The safety you mentioned is very important. Our city has not been so lively for many years, and a large number of citizens will flock to watch."

"Your public security department must increase its efforts to maintain order and ensure that no serious security incidents such as stampedes occur."

After Li Yuanlang finished speaking, he asked Fan Jun and Jing Boxiao on the left and right respectively to confirm that they had nothing to do, and then announced the adjournment of the meeting.

After putting away the water glasses and notebooks on the table, Li Yuanlang took the lead in walking out of the conference room.

As soon as he returned to the office, Li Yuanlang's expression instantly turned gloomy.

The proposal that appeared on the Standing Committee to deal with Fang Yan was deftly resolved and given a serious warning by him.

But he knew very well that this was someone's behavior against him.

Knowing that Fang Yan has not yet reached a conclusion, it is impossible to take any decision on him.

But I just wanted to use this to disgust Li Yuanlang and cause trouble for him.

When he thought that more than ten days had passed, the Spring Festival was getting closer and closer, and Fang Yan still showed no sign of release, Li Yuanlang became extremely anxious.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, Captain Qin, I think what you said last time is feasible. Yes, yes, we will implement it immediately."
Chapter completed!
