Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 896 A big gamble

Long Fuhai quickly reacted and looked at Ma Lifeng and Gong Qinglian, "Why are you still standing there? Comrade Ruijin is young, are you young too?"

Ma Lifeng and Gong Qinglian hurriedly got up and chased after him.

Sha Ruijin didn't walk fast. When Ma Lifeng and Gong Qinglian chased him out, Sha Ruijin walked into the elevator and the two of them hurriedly followed him in.

"Mayor Sha, we haven't reached this point yet. Please don't be impulsive." Ma Lifeng said anxiously.

"Yes, yes, let's take a long-term view. It's not necessary." Gong Qinglian also advised.

The two of them were visibly panicked.

If Sha Ruijin really resigned, their situation would not be much better.

Especially since they are the two youngest members of the Tianzhou Standing Committee, how could they bear to become "burial objects"?

Sha Ruijin pressed the button for the first floor, looked at the two frightened people, suddenly smiled, and then burst into laughter.

The two of them laughed so hard that they were scared.

An idea suddenly popped up in the two people's minds - Sha Ruijin is crazy!

Of course Sha Ruijin was not crazy, but rather very sober.

He walked out of the Municipal Party Committee building with clear minds, not taking a single unnecessary step.

Gong Qinglian was unsure of Sha Ruijin's thoughts, so he wanted to call Qi Tongwei, but Sha Ruijin snatched the phone away.

Sha Ruijin looked at the number, hung up the call he was about to make, and threw it back, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Ma Lifeng patted her plump chest and said, "Mayor Sha, you scared me to death."

"Yes, yes, Mayor Sha, I thought you really intended to resign."

Sha Ruijin said: "Of course, a real man should stick to his guns."

"what!?"

"No, Mayor Sha, you don't have to die with Long Fuhai. He's old, so you just need to be patient for another year or two. You will still have the final say in Tianzhou in the future, and it won't be too late to renovate the Tianzhou Coal Mine then."

Sha Ruijin smiled at the two of them, "When did I say I wanted to perish with him? Who said resigning means perishing together? I tell you, my trick is called escaping from the shell and retreating to advance."

Gong Qinglian and Ma Lifeng looked at each other, not understanding what tricks this mayor was playing.

Gong Qinglian was young and couldn't help asking, "Mayor Sha, what's your plan? Could you... tell us about it?"

Sha Ruijin looked at Ma Lifeng and then at Gong Qinglian, thinking that since they had been able to track him down, they must be his confidants. He stopped hiding anything and analyzed the information he had gathered from various sources with them:

"You and I have been around the Black Triangle Development Zone quite a bit these past few days. Have you noticed anything?"

Hearing this, the two were stunned at first, and then started thinking.

After a while, Ma Lifeng took the lead and said, "I see that our Tianzhou coal mining industry is lagging behind."

Gong Qinglian nodded. "Not only are the mining methods outdated, but the management is also very chaotic."

"What you mentioned is only one aspect; the main issue is the mining situation at the Tianzhou coal mine.

After so many years of disorderly mining, the Tianzhou Coal Mine has become riddled with holes.

If the municipal party committee today had the courage and put in a lot of effort to re-survey and renovate, there would still be a chance of saving it.

But Long Fuhai won't let us touch his wallet, so even if nothing happens at Tianzhou Coal Mine today, something will happen tomorrow.

Now all that's missing is a heavy rain.

Or a few heavy rains.

By then, problems like today will surely occur again, or even worse.”

After a pause, he continued, "Actually, this isn't a big problem. If it collapses, it collapses. As long as the municipal party committee forbids people from going down the mine during this period, everything will be fine.

But Long Fuhai will not agree, and neither will the coal bosses. Instead, they will speed up mining.

The reason is the current coal market conditions.

In fact, at this time every year, due to the influence of the rainy season, the difficulty of mining increases, resulting in a coal shortage and rising prices.

But this year the prices are surprisingly high.

As for the reason, we all know that our neighbor Beishan is developing rapidly and has recently built a large power plant.

These reasons combined have resulted in coal prices this year being far higher than in previous years.

Money can be a powerful asset! Given the greed of these coal bosses, they will definitely risk the lives of their workers and send people down the mines.

Imagine what would happen if a sudden torrential rainstorm hit and the workers failed to evacuate in time."

Gong Qinglian and Ma Lifeng were shocked.

If what Sha Ruijin said is true, who knows how many people will die!

"Sha... Mayor Sha, we have to find a way to stop this catastrophe!"

Sha Ruijin said: "I tried to stop it, but sometimes the development of things cannot be changed according to human will.

What we have to do now is to deal with the aftermath of this incident, and secondly to save ourselves.

Staying in Tianzhou would not change the outcome, so I thought I needed to leave temporarily.

At least this way I won't be dragged down by their stupidity."

Ma Lifeng grasped the crux of the matter, "Mayor Sha, what if... what if your prediction is wrong, or if it survives the rainy season, then you will..."

"That's right, so this is a gamble. If I win, I will return to Tianzhou and sweep away Chen Ke. If I lose, I will have to go into business." Sha Ruijin joked.

Ma Lifeng and Gong Qinglian couldn't laugh, as they found themselves caught in this gambling game.

Even if they didn't gamble, if Sha Ruijin really resigned and left, they would still lose everything.

bet!

The harvest looks tempting, but the risks are actually huge.

If the coal mine had not collapsed, or if it had collapsed a few months later, they would still have lost their position.

Sha Ruijin saw what they were thinking and said, "You can stay in Tianzhou. I don't blame you. I will also explain to the Provincial Party Committee on your behalf."

Ma Lifeng said, "Mayor Sha, you're a big mayor and you don't care about your official hat. How can a little girl like me be so timid? I'll take this gamble with you. If I lose, I hope you can agree to one thing."

Sha Ruijin asked: "What is the request?"

"You have to reserve a position as your boss's secretary for me. I can't do anything else but be a secretary. If you go into business, I'll have to follow you to make a living."

Sha Ruijin didn't expect Ma Lifeng to have such courage.

"No problem, but the salary may not be high, so you have to be mentally prepared."

"Just enough for three meals a day."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Gong Qinglian did not have the courage of the other two. For such a big matter, he felt it necessary to ask Qi Tongwei for instructions. After all, he was joining Qi Tongwei, not Sha Ruijin.

Besides, as long as Qi Tongwei takes action, he can still escape.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Mayor Sha, I might need to think about it."

Sha Ruijin waved his hand and said, "Comrade Qinglian, you don't have to think about it. I've made the choice for you. You should stay in Tianzhou. You're still young and have a bright future. There's no need to take risks with us."
