Since Dou Qingquan ca to Guyang City.
He and Liu Mingkai had never agreed on anything.
But today, both harboring their own sches, they had unprecedentedly reached a consensus.
This also verified a saying.
Any attitude, any decision, is determined by interests.
The three main leaders had expressed their positions, and naturally, no one else would oppose. Within just two minutes, aside from Chen Fang who had yet to speak, the other 11 mbers all cast affirmative votes, only Pei Shanglian saw that Chen Fang had not expressed his position and cast an abstention.
This ant that Xie Xuefeng was once again entrusted with significant responsibilities.
Facing such a scene.
Liu Mingkai was very pleased.
He asked, "Executive Director Chen, you haven't expressed your opinion yet. Do you have any different thoughts?"
He certainly knew that even if Chen Fang expressed opposition, it wouldn't have any substantial influence on the resolution. The reason he asked was, frankly, to humiliate and provoke.
"I need to use the restroom, can I share my opinion after I return from the restroom?"
Chen Fang asked.
Liu Mingkai smiled faintly and said, "Executive Director Chen, this matter has already passed by a large majority. Whether you go to the restroom or not, what can change?"
Chen Fang laughed and asked, "Since the overall situation is already settled, going to the restroom and coming back won't make any difference, right?"
Liu Mingkai was visibly displeased.
He grumbled, "Fine, fine, fine, then go quickly; we'll wait for you."
Chen Fang stood up.
He walked out of the conference room door.
He quickly took out his phone and sent a text ssage.
Just as he entered the restroom, he heard a trail of mocking laughter behind him.
Turning around, he saw Xie Xuefeng, who had appeared in the restroom at so unknown ti, clearly waiting next to the conference room.
"Executive Director Chen, I've heard that I've been promoted?"
Xie Xuefeng asked deliberately.
Chen Fang said, "Director Xie's news is very fast, but I haven't expressed my position yet, the proposal hasn't passed."
"Heh heh, Executive Director Chen really has a big voice. Thirteen committee mbers; eleven have already passed it. Do you think you have so kind of veto power now?"
Xie Xuefeng's tone was filled with mockery.
Chen Fang laughed and said, "I don't have veto power, but as I said, as long as I don't express my stance, the proposal won't pass."
"Haha… Executive Director Chen, Executive Director Chen, I don't know where your confidence cos from. Isn't it just a delaying tactic? Can it change the result? But no worries, I have plenty of ti, I'll just wait. I really want to see, with your grand talk, what can you change?"
"Alright, then please, Director Xie, wait for good news."
With that,
Chen Fang left the restroom, slowly made his way back to the conference room, and sat down again.
All eyes fell on him; it was clear that most were contemptuous—they thought, like Xie Xuefeng said, that Chen Fang was rely stalling for ti, essentially changing nothing.
"Alright, Executive Director Chen, you've been to the restroom, and everyone is waiting for your stance. Let's hear it, what's your opinion?"
Liu Mingkai spoke with a disdainful tone.
Chen Fang paused, then said, "I disagree."
"Is this your final stance?"
This result, presumably, was within Liu Mingkai's expectations, he casually asked.
"Yes, I believe Comrade Xie Xuefeng is unsuitable for the position of this group leader and, in fact, I also think he's unsuitable to be the director of the Bureau of Industry and Comrce."
Chen Fang stated decisively.
"Hahaha…"
Liu Mingkai laughed aloud.
Scanning everyone, he said, "Executive Director Chen, aren't your words a bit exaggerated? But the Central Committee practices democratic centralism; you can say whatever you want, it just seems unlikely to achieve the result you desire."
"Not necessarily, sothing unexpected might occur, right?"
Chen Fang said with a forced smile.
Liu Mingkai's expression darkened as he silently thought "clueless" and said, "Alright, everyone has made their stance clear, 11 votes in favor, 1 abstention, 1 opposed, I declare—"
Just when everyone thought the result couldn't be changed.
Suddenly.
The phone of Secretary Song Chiping, who was taking notes on the side, rang.
The pleasant ringtone interrupted what Liu Mingkai was about to say next.
Liu Mingkai was visibly upset.
He gave Song Chiping a stern look.
Song Chiping quickly apologized, saying, "Secretary Liu, it's a call from the person in charge of the 'Great Prosperity' production team."
Upon hearing this, Liu Mingkai hurriedly said, "Then take the call first."
Song Chiping nodded, pressed the answer button, listened to a few sentences, and his expression changed.
Before he could speak,
the call was hung up.
He looked at Liu Mingkai, his face pale and at a loss.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Mingkai asked.
Swallowing hard, Song Chiping said, "The person in charge said they have decided to cancel the 'Great Prosperity' production team's filming in Guyang City."
"What?"
Liu Mingkai's expression froze.
Not just him, everyone was shocked.
It was well known that the 'Great Prosperity' production team had already set up in Guyang City, and to cancel now would be a huge loss for everyone. Furthermore, the production team had invested in building several physical facilities at the filming site, and to just quit ant all that investnt was wasted.
Who would make such a decision?
"Did they give any reason?"
Dou Qingquan asked.
Song Chiping nodded, still hesitant to speak.
Liu Mingkai, unable to contain his anxiety, said, "Speak up, hurry up and say it!"
Song Chiping pursed his lips and finally said, "The person in charge said that when they went to the Business Bureau recently to handle so business, they found that Guyang City's Business Bureau was mismanaged, with a lazy style. From the director to the clerks, everyone acted arrogantly. In such a governnt service environnt, they are filled with worries about future collaboration, so after careful consideration, they decided to cancel the cooperation."
Boom!
It was like a thunderclap striking everyone's minds.
They had just been about to promote Xie Xuefeng as the leader of the leadership team, and the production crew canceled their cooperation with Guyang City because of the Business Bureau's issues.
If this news was to spread,
it would cause irreparable damage to the image of Guyang City.
All eyes sharply turned towards Chen Fang, as they suddenly recalled his words: "Sothing unexpected might occur."
Before this prediction had even settled,
the unexpected situation indeed occurred.
"Did you sabotage this?"
Liu Mingkai asked Chen Fang through gritted teeth.
Chen Fang shrugged, saying, "Secretary Liu, you might be giving too much credit. Wasn't it you who brought the production team here? How could I possibly influence their decision?"
These words made Liu Mingkai's face turn from green to white, as if swallowing a bitter pill, too aggrieved to speak out.
He had always boasted that the recruitnt of the production team was his doing.
If Chen Fang really had the power to influence them, wouldn't that be slapping his own face?
