The door slowly opened.
Wu Qiangwei glanced at him and turned to walk into the living room.
She took a bottle of soda water from the fridge and placed it on the coffee table.
Song Guanchao ca over and sat down, saying, "Secretary, I have an idea."
"Speak."
"Report," Song Guanchao said. "This demolition price is unreasonable, wherever it goes, it’s unreasonable."
Wu Qiangwei quietly looked at him. After he finished speaking, she asked, "Is that your solution?"
Song Guanchao added, "It’s not reporting, it’s the residents reporting."
Wu Qiangwei sighed, "Do you think the point of the issue is who reports?"
"I said, reporting is useless."
"Money is the key point."
Song Guanchao said, "As long as there’s a report, it will definitely be useful."
"The project is under Secretary Lu’s charge. If sothing goes wrong with his project, he will have to be accountable."
She knew Song Guanchao was in low spirits, so she explained to him gently, "This kind of report won’t affect him."
"If we don’t try, how do we know if it’s useful or not?"
"As long as the issue becos big, Secretary Lu will be the most anxious!"
"Doesn’t he want to advance?"
"If the project can’t proceed, how can he advance?"
Wu Qiangwei patiently waited for him to finish, then said, "Your solution is reporting, right?"
"Yes."
"Reporting unreasonable demolition prices?"
"Yes."
"Are there any other issues?"
"There may be interests involved in the project, and the bidding may be non-compliant."
"Do you have evidence?"
"I will investigate."
"Alright, let’s assu these two issues exist, the next step is to report."
"The ways they report are nothing more than petitioning or posting videos online."
"Petitioning, almost impossible. From the mont of demolition, they will be key surveillance targets, and their every move will be monitored."
"Posting videos is the sa, their social accounts will be monitored, and once sensitive content is detected, they’ll imdiately be banned and deleted."
Song Guanchao said, "I can help them."
"You can’t help."
"Secretary Lu won’t allow you to get involved, you won’t even have the chance to get near them."
"Does Secretary Lu not consider that soone might seize the opportunity to make a big deal out of this?"
"He won’t give you that chance."
Song Guanchao said in a low voice, "Secretary, these are all your analyses and assumptions. If we don’t try, how do we know it won’t work?"
"Because there’s no need to try."
"Because this small problem won’t topple him or cause much impact."
"Because everything you’re doing is futile."
"Do you understand what I an?"
She wanted Song Guanchao to understand her point, rather than stubbornly doing sothing inherently aningless.
"Futile?"
Song Guanchao mulled over her words, then suddenly smiled and nodded, "I got it."
"Won’t disturb your rest, Secretary, I’ll be going now."
He stood up, his tone calm, his smile peaceful.
For so reason, looking at his unusually calm face, Wu Qiangwei suddenly felt a bit dazed.
His eyes were polite yet distant.
As if intentionally keeping a distance from her.
Wu Qiangwei’s lips moved slightly, wanting to say sothing, but found it difficult to start.
Watching Song Guanchao leave, as the door closed, Wu Qiangwei couldn’t help biting her lip.
She suddenly felt angry, a surge of naless fire rising in her heart.
Even though she had made it very clear and he was a smart person, why did he insist on getting stuck on this matter?
Besides, there was nothing she could do about it either.
A clever housewife cannot cook without rice.
No money, even the best plan is just talk.
In the end, it would be a lose-lose situation, solving nothing.
Why didn’t he understand?
Of course, Song Guanchao understood.
He just thought it was worth a try.
Solutions are created by people; there are no absolutely unsolvable problems.
If it can’t be solved for the ti being, then stall the project for now.
Wait until there is funding.
Once the project proceeds, everything becos a foregone conclusion, and even if there’s money later, compensation is not possible.
There’s no such precedent with the governnt.
He also understood Wu Qiangwei’s difficulties, but understanding doesn’t an agreent.
Perhaps, as Liang Jianfeng said, they were in different positions and couldn’t fully empathize with each other.
He didn’t go ho but instead returned to Fengn Building, entering the yard through the side gate.
The old man just happened to step out for a pee: "Back?"
"Hmm."
"Not in a good mood?"
"Not at all, I’m fine."
"Having a falling out with your boss?"
"Old man, are you a mind reader?"
"Your feelings are written all over your face." The old man tossed him a cigarette, lit one for himself, and took a few satisfied puffs, "Listen to your boss, you can’t make the decisions here."
Song Guanchao silently took a few puffs, then discarded the cigarette: "I have to try."
The old man looked at the cigarette on the ground, angrily cursed, "Wasteful!"
...
The next day, Song Guanchao slept until he naturally woke up.
He called Lu Feng to Fengn Building, and the two sat in a modest noodle shop eating noodles: "Have Zhijun and the others contact the evicted residents here, and go to Beijing to appeal!"
Lu Feng took a deep breath, "Class monitor, are you serious?"
"Do I look like I’m joking?"
"This..." Lu Feng scratched his head, "Won’t this cause too much of a commotion?"
Song Guanchao sneered, "It’s ant to be a big commotion. Without it, these bureaucrats won’t know fear!"
Lu Feng said, "Will it have any impact on you?"
Song Guanchao didn’t imdiately respond. After smoking half a cigarette, he said, "When the ti cos, I’ll personally lead them to Beijing."
Lu Feng’s eyes widened, "Class monitor, are you crazy?"
"Doing this, your future..."
"What future are you talking about?"
Song Guanchao waved it off, "Being an official ans doing the right thing. Watching a bunch of beasts exploit common people, doing nothing... if it were you, could you tolerate it?"
"I couldn’t."
"Then that’s settled."
"But..."
"No buts."
"But what about your boss?"
Lu Feng said, "That Secretary Wu is pretty good to you. Doing this might drag her down, right?"
"It’s not related to her."
"That’s easy to say, but you’re her secretary..."
"Enough, you do your part, don’t worry about the rest."
...
Today, Wu Qiangwei was working at the City Committee. She was about to go to so enterprises for research, reviewing related company details.
Many people think that leaders visiting and inspecting companies is a foolish act.
You’re just a leader; how can you understand this or that, how are you so amazing?
In reality, the core of research isn’t about seeing how a company operates.
Specialization is key, and it’s impossible for leaders to understand these things.
The main purpose of research is to help companies solve certain problems.
But companies rarely expose their problems voluntarily due to a lack of trust.
So, so-called research is really about bringing companies and the governnt closer.
Making the company trust the governnt, or rather, trust the researching leader.
Only with mutual trust will companies be willing to discuss their difficulties and issues with the governnt in detail.
And what the governnt needs to do is provide the appropriate help.
"Knock, knock."
Wu Ming pushed the door open and said, "Sis... Secretary, Uncle Hong is looking for you."
Wu Qiangwei put down the company files she was looking at.
Uncle Hong ca in and sat down, saying, "Your secretary is quite the handful."
