Chapter 895 Resignation
Chapter 895 Resignation
Natural disasters often go beyond human control.
Two days of heavy showers.
There were several collapses in Tianzhou Coal Mine. The problem was not serious at first, just a few small collapses.
However, because some coal bosses were eager to resume work, unexpected casualties occurred, resulting in one death and seventeen injuries.
As soon as the rescue operation was over, Sha Ruijin hurried back to the Municipal Party Committee, his body still wet, and went to the office of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, angrily scolding Long Fuhai for prioritizing economic development over human lives.
Facing Sha Ruijin's accusations, Long Fuhai not only failed to reflect on himself, but instead blamed Sha Ruijin for making a fuss: "It was just an accident, why do you have to make such a big deal out of it? You have to bring it up financially?"
Sha Ruijin said: "This is not an accident, it is a man-made disaster, a man-made disaster that is completely avoidable.
I have said long ago that Tianzhou Coal Mine has many problems and serious safety hazards.
It was you, Long Fuhai, who, for the sake of the so-called economy, allowed them to resume work, which led to the current consequences. You should bear full responsibility for this matter."
Long Fuhai was also angry when he heard this: "Responsibility? Responsibility! When did I ask you to take responsibility? Huh?
Don't worry, I, Long Fuhai, am the top leader of the six counties and three districts in Tianzhou. The responsibility cannot be placed on you. If the Provincial Party Committee blames you, I, Long Fuhai, will bear it all."
Sha Ruijin responded passionately, "How can you take responsibility for a life? Can empty words and a pitiful amount of compensation mend the broken homes of ordinary people? Is this your responsibility?"
Long Fuhai slammed the table and stood up, "Then where is your responsibility?! Human survival is a battle against nature, and China has been a country that depends on nature for its livelihood since ancient times.
Just because of a small loss, a life, we threw the baby out with the bathwater, causing the Tianzhou economy to collapse and tens of thousands of people to fall into hardship. Is this what you call responsibility?
Sha Ruijin was stunned. He didn't expect that Long Fuhai was so indifferent to life. A life was so important to him.
Seeing Sha Ruijin stunned, Long Fuhai did not let him go. He snorted coldly and continued, "I know exactly what you, Sha Ruijin, are thinking. Everyone in Tianzhou knows it.
You just want to seize power and take the opportunity to take down me, Long Fuhai, right?
If you want to seize power, then do it openly and honestly, and don't use the people as a cover.
You said it with great righteousness. If you, Sha Ruijin, were to sit in my position today, you would also choose economy rather than a life.
Why? Isn’t it GDP that determines our status? "
Sha Ruijin denied it: "I never thought about it that way."
"You haven't thought about it that way? Oh, then explain why you investigated last year's casualties? Ah?"
Sha Ruijin asked in return: "As a mayor, is there anything wrong with me knowing about past casualties in coal mines?"
Long Fuhai snorted coldly, "Whether you understand the situation or have ulterior motives, only you know."
Sha Ruijin said: "Lao Long, if I wanted to seize power, I would have made this investigation public long ago.
Please don't deny my party spirit.
No matter what, I, Sha Ruijin, will never make a fuss about such a matter involving human lives.
But today's death and seventeen injuries are real data, and I cannot turn a blind eye to them.
Whether you think I have ulterior motives or ill intentions, this is all a mistake made by you, Long Fuhai, and you cannot deny it!"
Long Fuhai said: "I have never denied it, but if you want me to shut down the coal mining area in the Black Triangle, it is impossible unless you become the party secretary."
Seeing that Long Fuhai was stubborn, Sha Ruijin didn't want to continue talking nonsense. He decided to give this top leader a final blow.
"Secretary Long, since we have different opinions, let's convene a Standing Committee meeting to discuss this matter again."
Seeing Sha Ruijin so serious that he even changed his address, Long Fuhai was stunned, wondering what Sha Ruijin was up to.
"Discuss? This matter has been discussed many times. Why are you wasting time?"
Sha Ruijin said seriously, "I promise, this is the last discussion."
Long Fuhai pondered for a moment and agreed. After a period of consolidation, he had completely stabilized the situation in Tianzhou. He didn't believe that Sha Ruijin could make a comeback.
"Okay, since you insist on doing this, don't blame me for giving you another 7:3 record."
Sha Ruijin was unusually calm: "I respect democratic choices."
At 2:50 p.m., the Tianzhou Standing Committee convened.
There were no unexpected turns, no escape from desperate situations.
The ending was obvious. Under the intimidation of Minister Cao, all those fence-sitters turned to Long Fuhai.
Only Ma Lifeng and Gong Qinglian supported Sha Ruijin.
Seven to three, the outcome is decided.
Long Fuhai, who was sitting in the first seat, couldn't help but smile smugly. He spread his hands and looked at Sha Ruijin with a half-smile: "Look, why do we have to waste this time? We might as well go to the hospital to see the injured."
Sha Ruijin said: "I can see the injured, but I can't see the dead. This is how democracy works. I have nothing to say."
Sha Ruijin slowly stood up and glanced at all the standing committee members present.
Several fence-sitters on the Standing Committee didn't dare to look at each other.
"To this day, I still believe that Tianzhou's top priority is to immediately rectify the Tianzhou Coal Mine and eliminate hidden dangers.
But I also respect everyone's choice and I won't make things difficult for you.
After this meeting, I will submit my resignation to the Municipal Party Committee, Municipal People's Congress, and Municipal Government. Today, I will go to the Provincial Party Committee to explain why I cannot work."
Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Long Fuhai was stunned. He didn't expect Sha Ruijin to use this trick on him.
He hoped that Sha Ruijin would leave, but it was definitely not like this. He was forced to leave by Long Fuhai.
He has already forced out two mayors. If he forces out another one, Sha Ruijin, even if his old leader, Minister Cao, talks his mouth off on his behalf, it will be difficult to resist the disgust of the provincial party committee.
The Provincial Party Committee absolutely cannot tolerate Long Fuhai continuing to stay in this position. This is a principle.
Long Fuhai slammed the table and said, "Comrade Ruijin, are you threatening me? Are you threatening the Tianzhou Municipal Party Committee? You need to think carefully. You are still young. Don't ruin your bright future because of a momentary impulse!"
Sha Ruijin said: "I didn't threaten anyone, and I thought clearly.
My conscience and my Party spirit won't allow me to stand by and watch someone die, but human power is limited, and since I can't save them, I'll just turn a blind eye."
After saying this, he said nothing more, bowed deeply to everyone, stood up and left the meeting room.
Everyone was stunned.
They didn't expect Sha Ruijin to be so resolute and so tragic!
He actually used his own career to launch a fatal blow to Long Fuhai.
Sha Ruijin is finished, Long Fuhai is finished, and their Tianzhou Municipal Party Committee is also finished.
Everyone can imagine what will happen to everyone after Sha Ruijin resigns.
I think being transferred is a good thing.
