Chapter 2800: Promise me one condition

The other vice mayors were also stunned. This mayoral office meeting was truly explosive. Su Xinghui had clashed with Miao Leshan for the sake of Xin Jing?

In fact, since Su Xinghui arrived, he hadn't had any conflicts with anyone, and he hadn't had any conflicts with Miao Leshan either; they just nodded when they met. After all, there hadn't been such confrontation at previous meetings, and everyone had been in harmony.

Wei Ziming watched Su Xinghui and Miao Leshan with interest, looking like he was watching a good show.

This Miao Leshan relied on his seniority and had no other desires, and he had never been very submissive to Wei Ziming. Su Xinghui had an extremely strong background and the reputation of a "disaster star," and Wei Ziming didn't like him much either. Seeing the two of them fight, he could watch the show.

Miao Leshan pointed at Su Xinghui: "You little brat whose hair hasn't even grown out yet, you actually dare to lecture me?"

Su Xinghui said, "Age is not a reason for you to be disrespectful. Are you going to apologize to Mayor Xin or not?"

Miao Leshan said, "And what if I don't apologize?"

Su Xinghui turned calmly to Wei Ziming and said, "Mayor, are you not going to do anything about this kind of thing?"

Wei Ziming felt a bit flustered when he was looked at by Su Xinghui's bottomless eyes. He remembered Su Xinghui's reputation as a "disaster star" and his extremely strong background. If he, Wei Ziming, didn't do anything about Miao Leshan spouting nonsense at the meeting, he was truly a bit afraid of the people behind Su Xinghui.

Wei Ziming said to Miao Leshan, "Old Miao, I said long ago that our mayoral office meeting today should focus on the matter at hand and not stray too far. I believe Comrade Xin Jing could not have done such a thing; you must have misunderstood her."

Miao Leshan stared angrily at Wei Ziming: "Mayor Wei, what is the meaning of this? Do you want me to apologize to her too?"

Wei Ziming also became uncharacteristically firm: "Old Miao, you groundlessly accused a comrade at the mayoral office meeting; this is an irresponsible act. If you insist on not apologizing to Comrade Xin Jing, I will report it truthfully to the municipal committee, and you will bear the consequences!"

Everyone was shocked. Usually, Wei Ziming was a low-key person and rarely had such a firm stance toward the municipal government leaders. Today, he actually said such things to Miao Leshan?

Miao Leshan was so angry that the veins on his forehead were throbbing. Everyone was actually a bit afraid that he would have a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.

Miao Leshan's eyes stared fixedly at Wei Ziming, and Wei Ziming's eyes met his without any fear.

Just when the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed it would explode if a spark were lit, Miao Leshan suddenly turned to Xin Jing and said, "Comrade Xin Jing, I may have misunderstood you regarding that matter. Please don't blame this old man for being muddled!"

Miao Leshan's words made everyone drop their jaws. This old man actually had a moment of softening?

In fact, Miao Leshan's apology had no sincerity at all; his tone and the meaning behind his words were very perfunctory. However, Xin Jing didn't want to pursue it any further; she just wanted this attitude from Miao Leshan. She said, "Mayor Miao, I was also a bit impulsive. I hope we can live in peace and unite as one in the future."

Since Xin Jing didn't want to pursue it anymore, Su Xinghui stopped talking. If the principal party didn't say anything, and he continued to be relentless, he didn't know how others would view him. Besides, today's occasion wasn't suitable for a real falling out with Miao Leshan.

Wei Ziming also breathed a sigh of relief. He had been afraid that Miao Leshan would fight him to the end. If that had happened, this mayoral office meeting would have become a farce, which would have been a huge blow to his prestige. Fortunately, Miao Leshan still had his reason, and Su Xinghui stopped talking, so the matter was settled for today.

Wei Ziming laughed, "That's how it should be. Old Miao, you have shown the sense of the big picture of an old comrade, and Comrade Xin Jing, you are also very magnanimous."

Miao Leshan gave two dry laughs.

Wei Ziming said, "Then let's continue the meeting. How about this, Comrade Su Xinghui, you are the only one who hasn't expressed an opinion yet. Do you have any suggestions on how to resolve this matter?"

Su Xinghui said, "I agree with Comrade Xin Jing's opinion. I think that to thoroughly resolve this problem, we must resolve the difficulties of those laid-off workers."

Miao Leshan said sarcastically, "Since Mayor Su has said so, he must have the ability to resolve the difficulties of the laid-off workers, right?"

Miao Leshan didn't actually hate Xin Jing that much; after all, he was the one who provoked her first. He hated Su Xinghui more; it was Su Xinghui's words that made him lose so much face, so now that he had the chance, he would mock and ridicule Su Xinghui.

Wei Ziming also nodded: "Comrade Su Xinghui, then tell us your thoughts."

Su Xinghui said, "Mayor Wei, then let me state my immature opinion."

Wei Ziming nodded to show encouragement.
