“Leader Pan, Deputy Leader Hong from the county is here!” The subordinate reported to Pan Shouhong, “He doesn’t look happy.”
The subordinate was slightly worried! It was clear that Hong Qing came to cause trouble.
Pan Shouhong naturally knew what Hong Qing was there for.
With a serious expression, he said, “No matter what, I’m not going to approve that demolition plan. I can’t do it!”
The subordinate said worriedly, “But, big leader, this will greatly affect you!” You would be suspended and fired!
Pan Shouhong said calmly, “So what? At most, I’ll quit as the town council leader.”
With that, he walked to the reception room.
‘The moment Hong Qing saw Pan Shouhong, he immediately shouted loudly, “Pan Shouhong, you really have guts. How do you dare to block the development plan of Taoyuan Village? Do you not want to work here anymore?”
Pan Shouhong calmly replied, “Deputy Leader Hong, the development plan is very unreasonable and completely harms the interests of the farmers. I won’t agree to it.”
Hong Qing immediately flew into a rage when he heard this, “You won’t agree to it? Pan Shouhong, who do you think you are? The city leaders, the prefectural government, the county leaders, and the county organizing committee have all agreed to this. You are nothing, so who are you to disagree?” Then,
he added in an authoritative tone, “I came here today to tell you that regardless of your opinion, you have to approve the development plan, or else your days as the town council leader are numbered.”
Pan Shouhong didn’t immediately respond but only used silence to answer Hong Qing.
Hong Qing was instantly angered to the point of laughing.
Following that, his face sank. He picked up the cup on the table and threw it on the ground.
The cup shattered. The ground was a mess.
Hong Qing shouted loudly, “It seems that you really don’t want to be the council leader anymore. That’s fine. If you don’t want the job, many people will fight for it. If you refuse to pass the demolition plan, many other people will.”
Having said that, he directly threw a document in his hand onto Pan Shouhong’s face and said with a sneer, “Where’s your arrogance now? You are very considerate of the villagers, aren’t you? But from this moment on, you’re no longer the council leader. Let me see what else you can do!”
Pan Shouhong knew that this was the outcome.
To say that he did not feel any discomfort in his heart was definitely a lie.
However, he couldn’t go against his conscience and approve this demolition plan. If he couldn’t serve the people, why waste time being an official?
‘When the Taoyuan Village Chief, Xiao Taiyang, received the demolition notice from the town again, his anger rose.
Xiao Taiyang said furiously, “This is simply too much! What’s the difference between this demolition plan and the one from before?”
However, there was something different. The compensation fee for Xiao Zhengyang’s family was many times higher than the others.
The others were compensated with 5000 each. The Xiao Family would get 20,000 each. That was not written clearly in the demolition notice.
Xiao Taiyang didn’t read it that clearly due to his anger.
The person in charge of the demolition, Li Jianman, was still lying in the hospital, so the head office sent another person over.
This person was someone who came to Taoyuan Village with Li Jianmin to investigate. He was Liu Jian.
After the incident last time, the county sent Hong Qing to accompany Liu Jian.
Liu Jian looked at Hong Qing with a very modest attitude and said with a smile, “Sorry for troubling Leader Hong for this matter.” But in his heart, he thought, ‘Li Jianmin, that fool. If he had come with the people from the county last time, things would have been settled already. The man is too arrogant.
He didn’t have someone to accompany him, and he got into a car accident.’
Liu Jian was different. Since he was given this chance, he would use it well. He looked down on Hong Qing too, but he smiled at the man. Was face more important than his future?
Hong Qing was extremely satisfied when he saw Liu Jian’s friendly attitude.
Li Jianmin, who came last time, was very arrogant and looked down on everyone. He was very annoying, but the county leaders still had to please him. Clearly, the man didn’t understand the concept of not trying to offend the locals when you’re far away. Even if Li Jianmin was a dragon at City Z, he was a
worm at Xing Yin County. The man had no self-awareness. No wonder he…
Hong Qing smiled and said, “It’s my honor to be able to work with Chief Liu. Chief Liu, don’t worry. This time, we will succeed.”
“Deputy leader Hong gives me so much confidence.” Liu Jian said, “Don’t worry, deputy leader Hong, After the matter is done, I will definitely not forget your contributions.”
The implication was that he would be given certain benefits.
After Hong Qing heard this, he only nodded and didn’t say anything else.
However, when Hong Qing, Liu Jian, and the others entered the village with the demolition team, they were stunned when they saw the three luxury cars parked in a row at the entrance of the village.
Liu Jian was full of doubt and frowned.
Then, he looked at Hong Qing and immediately asked with a smile, “Deputy Leader Hong, when did Taoyuan Village get a millionaire?”
Hong Qing was obviously very surprised when he saw these cars.
According to what he knew, this Taoyuan Village was really a very poor village. So, where did these luxury cars come from?
Hong Qing shook his head and said, “Maybe someone in the village struck gold outside and came back.”
“But who could that person be?” Liu Jian seemed a little unhappy.
Liu Jian and Hong Qing were successful men. They loved beauties and cars. So, they easily recognized the value of these three cars.
Hong Qing said with a serious expression, “Chief Liu, I’ll get someone to ask. Zheng Wanli, you go and ask!”
Zheng Wanli was the person who replaced Pan Shouhong as the new town council leader.
Zheng Wanli looked at these cars, his brows tightly knitted together. Then, a wave of anger surged in his heart toward the owners of these cars.
Zheng Wanli was not as worldly as the two other men, so he didn’t recognize these cars’ value.
‘What are these people doing? Did they deliberately park here to stop the demolition? They are overestimating themselves! Do they think commoners like themselves can stop powerful people like us”
Zheng Wanli walked over, chose the middle car, and knocked on the window.
The window rolled down, revealing the face of a man wearing sunglasses.
Zheng Wanli put on airs and said angrily, “What’s wrong with you? You parked the car in the middle and stopped the demolition team from entering the village. Are you trying to obstruct official business?”
Yue Qilin saw this man putting on the air and snorted in his heart. He cursed, “Idiot.”
Then, he turned to look at Zheng Wanli and sneered, “Are you back to demolish the village? Fine, explain the development plan to me in detail first.”
“You…” Zheng Wanli was very angry when he heard that. “Who are you? Why do we need to explain ourselves to you?”
“Why shouldn’t you explain yourself to me? You are trying to demolish our house. So don’t we have the right to know why?”
Zheng Wanli frowned and said, “We already informed your village chief. Ask him. Where is he?”
As he said this, he looked around, trying to find the village chief.
However, he noticed that other than the three cars blocking the road, there was no one else. This didn’t make sense at all.
Logically speaking, they had entered the village in a grand manner. No matter what, it should have caused a stir, right?
But apparently not.
No villagers could be seen. What was the reason?
Zheng Wanli could not think of it..
