Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

"If you ask me, building 16 lanes is a waste. Building an eight-lane road is just right. Now all the roads in the city have six lanes and the traffic is very smooth. In another ten years, when people's lives are better and they have the financial means to buy cars, I will definitely not object to building 32 lanes!" Ren Tao continued.

His tone was firm and unquestionable.

What Ren Tao said made some sense, but as the secretary of the municipal party committee of a provincial capital city, his vision was still too short-sighted.

Moreover, Ren Tao once publicly criticized Shi Hongwen at the secretary's office meeting, saying that Shi Hongwen, as the mayor of a city, was too ambitious and did not proceed from reality, and that the senior officials from the province did not know how expensive rice, oil and salt were.

Ren Tao had implicitly mocked Shi Hongwen in front of so many people, not to mention that he was guarding his old leader. This made him feel very embarrassed. His face turned ashen and he immediately retorted, "Secretary, you still want to build an eight-lane road? I think 32 lanes are too narrow! Go to Beijing, go to the Bund, go to South J Road. The Spring City is also the provincial capital, and tourism is our famous brand! The city has no money, so I will go to the province and the ministries to fight for it! I will build these 32 lanes!"

"Now you want to build an eight-lane road. I'm sure it will be jammed within five years. If you want to rebuild it by then, not only will the cost be considered, but it will also restrict the development of the entire city! What we have to do now is to pave the road for future generations!" Shi Hongwen continued.

This is the gap in realm between Shi Hongwen and Ren Tao.

Shi Hongwen knows very well that the scale of Quancheng will be huge in the future.

Now, as the mayor of Quancheng City, he has to plan ahead and pave the way for future generations!

Those who plant trees will enjoy the shade!

It has to be said that Shi Hongwen's current realm is far higher than that of today's cadres. Some people simply cannot understand the plans he proposes now. They are not at the same level at all.

Recently, the two partners had a big fight because of the road construction.

After Shi Hongwen said so much in front of the minister, his expression became better.

He knew that Minister Qingliang was there to support him.

However, the face of the municipal party secretary Ren Tao looked a little unhappy. He couldn't lose his temper in front of Minister Qingliang, but he must be very angry.

This is Mayor Shi, but he is also Zhao Qingliang’s old secretary. As soon as the two of them had a little disagreement at work, Minister Zhao immediately came to Quancheng for research. Who knows if he came here to take sides?

Although the road construction issue seemed to be just a minor disagreement at work, it actually involved a struggle between him and Shi Hongwen for control of power!

Although he is old and has no hope of promotion, he will not let go so easily.

He has been running Quancheng for so many years, he will not let a young boy who is still wet behind the ears ride on his head so easily.

Ren Tao had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward. Several key figures had their own little thoughts, and the accompanying people also felt that Minister Zhao's visit this time was probably not just an ordinary investigation.

Zhao Qingliang suddenly said, "Secretary Ren, Mayor Shi, I came to Quancheng for research this time. In addition to the normal research, I also have an important purpose."

Ren Tao and Shi Hongwen's faces both froze, knowing that Minister Qingliang was about to get to the point.

"You two partners must pay attention to unity! Don't let the people below laugh at you." Zhao Qingliang said in a flat tone.

Although the words were spoken softly, the cadres present were all shocked.

Although the city party secretary and the mayor had a big dispute, it was all done behind the scenes. No one expected Minister Qingliang to be so straightforward and say it directly at the meeting.

The lack of unity within the team is also the responsibility of Zhao Qingliang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization.
