"Brother, I just heard some rumors. Leaders at all levels hope that Qingyuan will have a harmonious and stable development environment." Lin Dengshan said vaguely. He knew clearly that Chu Tianshu should understand that this was what Zhu Minwen meant, and what He Tianying meant.

meaning.

"Brother Mountaineer, I understand your difficulties. However," Chu Tianshu declined politely: "If you ask me to say such things to Boss Yi, I can't open my mouth."

Linden Mountain sighed: "Brother, if you can talk easily, the bosses won't need you and me who carry bags and run errands."

Chu Tianshu said: "The construction of the business circle along the Yangtze River is a project that Boss Yi personally took charge of. He poured his heart into every contract signing, every capital investment, and every construction link. Suddenly he has to do it himself."

It is unfair to take the initiative to admit to the province that there was a fault in this and take all the responsibilities. It is unacceptable for anyone to blame it."

"Tian Shu, don't get excited, you are right." Linden took a sip of tea and said helplessly: "However, politics is an art of compromise. Only by losing can you gain, and by retreating can you make progress.

"

What Lin Dengshan said about gains and losses was somewhat threatening. Of course Chu Tianshu could tell that what Zhu Minwen meant was that if Yi Haitao wanted to successfully become mayor, he must obey his mercy and continue to endure the humiliation and bear the burden.

Chu Tianshu couldn't help but get excited. He said: "Brother Mountaineer, the big boss should be aware of the initiator of this passive situation. He is the one who really should retire, not Boss Yi."

Lin Dengden had been following Zhu Minwen and knew what Chu Tianshu was referring to. He smiled bitterly and said: "Tian Shu, is your statement a bit too wishful thinking? He only entered for the sake of success. Why?"

Maybe you will withdraw?"

Chu Tianshu argued: "In this case, the business district along the Yangtze River itself is a political achievement project. If the big boss really supports Boss Yi, then shouldn't he make some kind of compromise for the sake of the overall situation? I think, the big boss

We should be able to distinguish which political interests are more important at this moment."

Lin Dengshan finally couldn't bear it anymore and said with a sullen face: "Tian Shu, what you said is too much. You should also be able to tell clearly, who has the final say in Qingyuan?"

"Brother Mountaineer, please forgive me for my bluntness." Chu Tianshu said tit for tat: "If you have power, can you ignore the facts and confuse right and wrong?"

Linden stood up excitedly and stared at Chu Tianshu.

Chu Tianshu also looked directly at him fearlessly.

Eyes facing each other.

In the end, Lin Dengshan chose to back down. He sat down slowly and said, "Tian Shu, let me tell you, the big boss is very optimistic about your ability. It is precisely because of this that he asked me to come and talk to you."

By reporting these situations, you must not let down the big boss’s good intentions for you.”

Chu Tianshu smiled slightly and said: "Brother Mountaineer, I may let the big boss down this time."

"Tian Shu, why did you come here?" Lin Dengshan said earnestly: "You always think about Boss Yi.

The big boss is always in charge, and our future is in his hands. You can't admit death and ruin your bright future."

"Brother Mountaineer, I know that in the officialdom, people can't help themselves." Chu Tianshu pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but said with admiration: "However, in China's officialdom culture, there is a saying that 'a good man will not suffer the immediate consequences'.

, there is also the awe-inspiring attitude of 'no hesitation', the tact of 'one who knows the current affairs is a hero', and the generosity of 'sacrifice for righteousness'."

Linden Hill said: "Brother, you are going too far. No matter what choice we little people make, it will not be our turn to leave a lasting legacy, nor will we be infamous for thousands of years. However, the end of power is naked and sharp.

Blade, if we get bruised all over because of this, wouldn’t we be the ones suffering the same pain?”

Chu Tianshu said: "Brother Mountaineering, we may not be able to choose who to be our secretary, and it is even more difficult to determine whether we will be successful. However, we can choose and be sure of being a human being. We must not lose the minimum ambition, integrity and dignity."

Lin Dengshan looked very embarrassed, and he asked: "Tian Shu, can you think about it again?"

Chu Tianshu shook his head firmly.

Linden said disappointedly: "Tian Shu, I admire your loyalty to Boss Yi."

Chu Tianshu relaxed and said, "Brother Mountaineer, this is not just loyalty to a certain person, but also respect for the facts."

Linden Hill said helplessly: "Well, everyone has their own ambitions. I hope you won't regret it."

Chu Tianshu said categorically: "I stick to the bottom line of being a human being and I have no regrets."

Lin Dengshan was completely desperate. He said frustratedly: "Tian Shu, are you sure that Boss Yi will also reject the big boss's suggestion?"

Chu Tianshu hesitated and did not answer immediately.

After all, Yi Haitao is the final decision maker.

"I was ordered to come here. No matter whether I am successful or not, I have to make a final effort." Lin Dengshan picked up the tea cup, drank it in one gulp, and said, "Tian Shu, since you are unwilling to help, I have to communicate with Boss Yi directly.

.”

Chu Tianshu was suddenly full of sympathy for Linden Mountain. If there were other circumstances, he would definitely choose to cooperate with Linden Mountain. He thought for a moment and said, "Brother Mountain Mountain, I'm sorry. Let me contact Boss Yi."

Lin Dengshan nodded. He also knew that Chu Tianshu was an upright person, but as Zhu Minwen's secretary, he could only act in accordance with the orders of the big boss.

Chu Tianshu dialed Yi Haitao's number and said, "Mayor Yi, Secretary Lin wants to talk to you." After saying that, he handed the phone to Lin Dengshan.

Lin Dengshan briefly informed Yi Haitao of the situation he had just discussed with Chu Tianshu, and implicitly clarified Zhu Minwen's intention.

Yi Haitao pondered.

This is an important moment.

This is not like before, when Zhu Minwen sat down and talked to himself in person. He could bow his head and obey the orders of Qingyuan government work, and he could compromise on certain criticisms. Instead, he had to give a clear answer to the request conveyed tactfully by Lin Shanshan.

:Reject or accept.

Saying no seems like a foolish choice at first glance.

Lin Dengshan still dared to express Zhu Minwen's intention confidently even after Chu Tianshu refused to pass the message. This shows that Zhu Minwen, who has been immersed in officialdom for decades, could not have considered that Yi Haitao would refuse, nor would he

There is no follow-up means.

Not agreeing is a clear statement that he refuses to take orders from Zhu Minwen. Next, will Zhu Minwen refuse to support him in the mayoral competition?

Yi Haitao suddenly felt a painful feeling. Why did it have to be like this?

Why!

Since arriving in Qingyuan, he has been carefully maintaining a certain standard and abiding by his rights and responsibilities. He is very disgusted with getting involved in this complicated and boring, absurd but cruel power struggle.

Indeed, he wants to be the mayor of Qingyuan City, but he also just wants to do his job well and ensure that the Qingyuan government operates efficiently and effectively. He just wants to do something practical for Qingyuan during his term of office, and Yan Guo will leave a voice.

, he hopes that when he leaves one day, the people of Qingyuan will say: Mayor Yi is good.

But now, it seems that he can no longer hide and endure. He must make a choice, which makes him feel extremely frustrated and painful. In the vortex of the mayor's battle, it is impossible for him to escape this power struggle and stay clean.

All the considerations and efforts he had made were in vain.

So, do you agree?

He rejected this choice without hesitation. For his own conscience, for the people of Qingyuan, and for the sake of justice and dignity, he could not do this!

A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, this is his final bottom line!

In the face of Zhu Minwen's strength, he could turn a deaf ear or turn a blind eye to things he didn't know, things he hadn't personally handled, and things that had nothing to do with him.

He considers himself not a very courageous person. On the contrary, he sometimes seems to be very timid and overly cautious in doing things. However, perhaps it is precisely because of this timidity, this awe and persistence of power that he is more

I cannot agree to Zhu Minwen's request.

Zhu Minwen could not help but know that this was Tang Yifu's step-by-step pressure on him to achieve his personal goals, but why did he do this? Especially at the critical moment when the provincial party committee was about to determine the mayoral candidate?

A seasoned and powerful figure should not raise an issue at such a time, and when the inspection team has upset Qingyuan's people, he should not show his sword again.

Could it be because...?

Yi Haitao didn't dare to think further.

Or will Zhu Minwen understand his choice?

Yi Haitao immediately rejected his idea.

Who is Zhu Minwen? The top leader in Qingyuan was a strongman when he was the mayor. Now that he has great power, he is even more arrogant. It is very likely that he has not considered the feelings of his executive deputy mayor at all, and has never considered it.

He put it in his eyes, which made Yi Haitao feel humiliated and humiliated.

In just ten seconds, Yi Haitao thought hard. He controlled his emotions and slowly said: "Mountain climber, thank you. I would like to ask you to tell Secretary Zhu that if it is verified that along the Yangtze River,

There were mistakes in my work during the construction of the business circle, and I am willing to bear the responsibilities that I should bear as the executive deputy mayor!"

This is a definite rejection!

Lin Dengshan lamented in his heart that this time, he could not complete the task assigned to him by Zhu Minwen.

At this time, he regretted that he should not have made this call, because from his conversation with Chu Tianshu, he should be able to guess Yi Haitao's attitude. The reason why he wanted to take the risk and test it was because he overestimated it from his usual observations.

They underestimated Zhu Minwen's strength and underestimated Yi Haitao's persistence.

This answer made him feel an inexplicable fear. The situation he had never wanted to see finally appeared.

Now, he finally understood Yi Haitao's true thoughts, or in other words, he saw his hard nature beneath Yi Haitao's gentle appearance. What will happen next? Linden Mountain couldn't imagine it.
Chapter completed!
