Chapter 4804

Zhao Desan hurriedly said with a face full of smiles, "Thank you, Mayor Zhang."

"Now that you've been elected district mayor, what are your thoughts?" Mayor Zhang asked slowly with a smile on his face.

"I feel that the responsibility on my shoulders is heavier, and I need to work harder in my work, otherwise I won't be worthy of the kindness of the higher-level leaders." Zhao Desan answered very officially, which was the only thing he could think of to answer Mayor Zhang. After speaking, he looked at Mayor Zhang with a smile, waiting for him to speak.

Mayor Zhang still smiled lukewarmly, nodded, and said slowly, "Being a district mayor, you have to be responsible for the overall work of the Chanba District government. It's natural that the burden is heavy. But for you to be elected as the district mayor of Chanba District by the representatives at the People's Congress at such a young age, it shows that you did your work well before and were recognized by everyone." Speaking of this, Mayor Zhang suddenly changed the subject, as if he had remembered something, looked at Zhao Desan and asked, "By the way, how is the situation at the textile factory now? I heard a while ago that the textile factory workers went to the district committee to petition?"

Hearing Mayor Zhang suddenly ask about the textile factory, Zhao Desan's heart skipped a beat. He vaguely realized that Mayor Zhang looking for him today seemed to be aimed at this matter. Thinking that a while ago, on the matter of the Brilliant Company investing in the textile factory, Mayor Zhang specifically called Wu Min, clearly demanding to stop this matter, and the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Yang Tianyu supported them very much in doing so, now Mayor Zhang must have thoughts about the approach of the district committee and district government. For a moment, he was a bit at a loss, just laughing "hehe," not knowing how to answer his question.

Seeing Zhao Desan's hesitant appearance, Mayor Zhang smiled lightly and continued to ask, "Why? Hasn't the textile factory matter been resolved yet?"

Zhao Desan listened to Mayor Zhang's step-by-step interrogation, and his heart hardened. He thought, damn it, it's already done, what's there to be afraid of him asking? If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. If this matter is questioned by Zhang Dewang, there is Secretary Yang to support him, what's there to be afraid of! So he answered somewhat awkwardly, "The textile factory matter has been resolved, and the workers' wages have also been paid."

"How was it resolved?" Mayor Zhang leaned back in his boss chair, looking at Zhao Desan with interest.

"The Brilliant Company invested in the textile factory. The district committee and district government, proceeding from the overall situation of the district, in order to maintain the economic development and social stability of the district, agreed to the Brilliant Company's investment and restructuring of the textile factory." Zhao Desan simply poured everything out. After speaking, he saw that the subtle change on Mayor Zhang's face, which had been carrying a lukewarm smile, froze instantly. Then he leaned forward, took out a Zhonghua cigarette from the cigarette box on the table, didn't offer one to Zhao Desan, and just put it straight into his mouth. Before Zhao Desan could take out his lighter, he lit it with a "snap," threw the lighter on the table, and it made a "snap" sound, which gave Zhao Desan a fright.

Seeing Mayor Zhang's actions, Zhao Desan knew that Mayor Zhang had an opinion, so he sat there without saying a word, like a prisoner waiting for judgment, waiting for Mayor Zhang to speak.

Mayor Zhang frowned, smoking with a cold face. After a long time, he put the cigarette in the ashtray, and a wisp of blue smoke drifted from the corners of his mouth and nostrils. Although he was not angry, he glanced at Zhao Desan with those sharp triangular eyes, and his tone became indifferent: "Your district committee and district government are quite good at making decisions on your own. I have already called Wu Min on this matter and clearly told her to stop this matter. Why? Does your district committee and district government not belong to the management of the Xijing Municipal Government? Do you not need to listen to the words of the municipal government leaders? Do you treat the instructions of higher-level leaders as wind in your ears?"

Seeing Mayor Zhang frowning and putting on a high-and-mighty posture, he stammered, "Mayor Zhang, this is Secretary Yang's intention. The district committee and district government are considering the overall situation for the economic development and social stability of the district, so we decided to restructure the textile factory. Secretary Yang also agreed with our district's ideas and supports them very much. I..."

As mayor, Zhang Dewang was already at odds with Municipal Party Committee Secretary Yang Tianyu. Hearing Zhao Desan use Municipal Party Committee Secretary Yang Tianyu to pressure him, he was instantly enraged. He stared at Zhao Desan with horizontal eyebrows and glaring eyes, and his tone became severe: "Secretary Yang's words are all correct, and my words are wrong? I am the mayor of Xijing City after all. If everything is decided by the secretary, then what do I need to do as mayor!"

Zhao Desan saw that Mayor Zhang was angry. Looking at Mayor Zhang's horizontal eyebrows and glaring eyes, he thought, damn it, go tell these words to Secretary Yang! Damn it, his heart was also a bit excited, and he couldn't help but say, "But this is Secretary Yang's intention. Our district committee and district government can't turn a deaf ear to Secretary Yang's words, right?"

As mayor, people below had always been full of smiles, submissive, and nodding and bowing when they saw him. Seeing Zhao Desan dare to talk back when he was furious, Mayor Zhang was so angry that he almost roared, "Zhao Desan, it's a pity you were elected as district mayor. I think you don't even have the basic common sense of being a district mayor! What does the secretary do? The secretary is responsible for party affairs. As for the daily economic affairs of the city, I am responsible for them. The restructuring of the textile factory falls within the scope of the municipal government's management. Compared to Secretary Yang's words, your district committee and district government should listen to me more!"

Zhao Desan saw that Mayor Zhang's face had turned the color of a pig's liver with anger. He didn't want to be Mayor Zhang's punching bag. That fearless spirit suddenly rushed to his forehead, and he couldn't help but ask back, "Then Mayor Zhang, your meaning is that Secretary Yang's words are all nonsense?"

When Mayor Zhang heard Zhao Desan's words, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Isn't this framing him? Although he was extremely dissatisfied with the handling of the textile factory matter, Yang Tianyu was the Municipal Party Committee Secretary after all, and still had more prestige than him, the mayor. He then softened his tone a little, but still looked very angry, and said, "I'm not saying that Secretary Yang's words shouldn't be listened to, but as leading cadres, you should distinguish which leader's words you should listen to at what time. Regarding city-wide economic issues, you should communicate with the municipal government and listen to the arrangements of the municipal government. If it's about party affairs, then you should all listen to Secretary Yang, and I, Zhang Dewang, won't say a word!"

Zhao Desan laughed and said, "Mayor Zhang, I understand your meaning. Then in the future, for all the big and small things in the district, we will listen to you. We won't listen to Secretary Yang's words. If Secretary Yang blames us, we will say it's your intention, Mayor Zhang. Is that okay?"
