After listening to Tao Anguo's complaint, Zhang Zhiyuan was moved. He took out a napkin from the table and handed it to Tao Anguo. "Wipe your sweat first."
Tao Anguo took the napkin and wiped his sweat. "County Zhang, I have never mentioned this matter in front of anyone. Firstly, I'm afraid of getting myself involved. Secondly, it's useless even if I mentioned it. The other party is the Director of the Municipal People's Congress, and I'm just a small mine manager. Even if I have three heads and six arms, I can't shake his position. I can't even make a move, and the other party has already beaten me to the ground. My son is already crippled, and I've let him down. I really don't want anything to happen to him. "
Zhang Zhiyuan handed a cigarette to Tao Anguo and lit it up. "Old Tao, I sympathize with you in this aspect. But you have already violated the law, and I can't do anything about it. But I intend to help you. Are you willing to cooperate with me?"
"Yes!" Tao Anguo suddenly stood up and vowed, "Magistrate Zhang, as long as Ma Linhui can be sent to prison, even if I have to risk my life, it's worth it."
"Okay!" Zhang Zhiyuan stared at Tao Anguo. "Old Tao, it's impossible to turn back now. Even if you go to court in the future, I can vouch for you and ask the judge to give you a lighter sentence. But to bring Ma Linhui to justice, you still need to do a few things. "
"Okay, okay. Go ahead!" Tao Anguo nodded.
"First, write down all the information about you and Xinyuan Coal Mine Equipment Company over the years and give it to Lu Yiwei. Remember, this matter must not be known by a second person. This is also to protect you. "
"Second, maintain regular contact with Ma Linhui. Don't let him see any flaws. Isn't Baitai about to intervene? Contact him in the next few days. Tell him that the company will be buying a batch of equipment before the restructuring. You have to record the entire process and keep all the financial transactions. "
"Third, find a way to meet Director Li of the Municipal People's Congress. You don't have to worry about the rest. Can you do it? "
"Okay, no problem!" Tao Anguo promised.
"Alright!" Zhang Zhiyuan stood up and walked around the table. He patted Tao Anguo's shoulder and said, "Where is your son studying now?"
"I just finished my college entrance examination this year."
"Oh, how was the exam?"
"Average. He only scored 482 points. He hasn't reached the minimum score yet."
"Oh, which university do you plan to go to?"
"I've been worrying about this matter. I want to spend some money to get him into a university. I've asked a few people, but they all said that it's a difficult matter."
"Okay, send me your son's name, score, and admission ticket number. I'll do you a favor," Zhang Zhiyuan said.
"County Zhang, this …" Tao Anguo was touched and looked at Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan nodded with a smile and said, "Old Tao, I might not be able to help much with your problem, but I can't let you have any regrets in your life. I will definitely help you." After saying that, he asked, "Which unit does your wife work at?"
"In the Animal Husbandry Bureau, an ordinary staff member."
"Okay, I've noted it down. I will arrange for your wife to be promoted to a better unit."
"County Zhang, you … I …" Tao Anguo thought that there was something wrong with his ears.
All of a sudden, Zhang Zhiyuan turned solemn. "Old Tao, just as you said, we're facing a powerful opponent. I can't guarantee that you'll be able to hide from the law in the future, but I'll do my best to compensate your family and get rid of all your worries."
"County Zhang!" Tao Anguo knelt on the ground again and said with tears and snot, "Magistrate Zhang, you are my great benefactor. I thank you so much …"
Tao Anguo cried loudly, making Lu Yiwei, who was at the side, feel a lump in his throat. He felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Zhang Zhiyuan helped Tao Anguo up and said sincerely, "Old Tao, according to our age, I should call you Big Brother. As your younger brother, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. I don't have much ability, but seeing Nanyang develop like this, my heart is sad. I can maintain the status quo. I can drag out an ignoble existence for a few years, and maybe I will be transferred away. Why should I care about this mess? But what about the people of Nanyang? Who will pity them? The standard of living is still at the beginning of the reform. How will I feel? What will others think of me? "
Tao Anguo nodded and said, "County Zhang, since the first time I met you, I know that you're a man with feelings. You're a man who does big things and practical things. I completely understand what you're doing and support you. Don't worry, I promise to do my best."
"Okay, then I'll thank you in advance. I'll wait for your good news! "Zhang Zhiyuan patted Tao Anguo's shoulder twice.
After walking out of Tao Anguo's office, Zhang Zhiyuan's expression was solemn. His face was ashen, which made people tremble. When he returned to Bai Yuxin's office, he went straight to the desk and sat down. He closed his eyes and leaned on the swivel chair. The muscles on his face were slightly twitching.
Seeing this, Bai Yuxin glanced at Lu Yiwei and asked about the situation. Lu Yiwei gently shook his head and quietly poured a cup of tea for Zhang Zhiyuan.
"Yuxin, we have to move forward with the Erbao Coal Mine. Among the four of them, who do you think should be dealt with first? "Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly opened his eyes and asked Bai Yuxin.
"Ma Linhui," Bai Yuxin answered without hesitation.
"Okay, let's start with Ma Linhui. We now have a lot of evidence of Ma Linhui's crimes. I'll go see Secretary Guo of the Municipal Party Committee tonight and ask for his support. "Zhang Zhiyuan slammed the table.
"Okay, I'll make the preparations now." Bai Yuxin had been looking forward to this day for a long time. She said, "By the way, County Zhang, Baitai will be coming tomorrow. Do you want to receive them?"
"You'll be in charge of this. I won't be involved. It's still the few conditions we agreed on. We can't take a step back. If they push their luck, there's no need to talk. At this point, I can't care so much anymore, "Zhang Zhiyuan said impatiently.
At night, Zhang Zhiyuan brought Lu Yiwei to Bei Zhou City. On the way, Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly said, "Manager Lu of the non-staple food processing factory came to me and asked for my opinion about the canned food factory. I only have one opinion. As long as it's unanimously approved by the staff meeting, I can sign the contract. "
Lu Yiwei did not know how to respond. He could only say, "County Zhang, I told Manager Lu the same thing back then. I must see the signatures of all the staff on the contract."
"Okay." Zhang Zhiyuan still closed his eyes and said, "I won't ask too much about this matter as long as you control it well."
Although it was just a few words, Lu Yiwei could feel Zhang Zhiyuan's concern. He did not order Lu Yiwei to stop, nor did he reprimand Lu Yiwei for violating the business rules. He could only blame Lu Yiwei for being too smart and skirting the party's rules. Even if the investigation was carried out in the future, it would have nothing to do with him. Most importantly, Lu Yiwei was not like other businessmen who squeezed the benefits of the staff to save costs. Instead, he was always thinking about the staff.
There was another reason why Zhang Zhiyuan turned a blind eye to Lu Yiwei's actions. Products of the times like the non-staple food processing factory and the sugar and wine factory should have declared bankruptcy long ago and found a way out through the corporate model. But now, they were dragging out an ignoble existence. It was a burden to the government and a pain to the staff. Every year, they had to rely on their meager income to support their family. It was undeniable that they had made great contributions to the country in a certain period of time. But in the new era, it was indeed not suitable to look at the world with the old eyes.
After a long time, Zhang Zhiyuan said again, "After the Shuyang Coal Mine and Erbao Coal Mine incident is over, you and Mayor Bai can go around the battlefield and focus on the restructuring of collective enterprises like the non-staple food processing factory. You can either not change it or change it completely. Cannery model is not a bad idea. We can give it a try. But this model has a certain drawback. You give the staff a sum of money, and they will be happy at the time. But when the money is spent, they will come looking for trouble again. My idea is to separate these people, release some of them from their labor contracts, and consider providing re-employment for those who are able to work. Do you have any ideas? "
Lu Yiwei thought for a while and said, "I have thought about this problem before. But Nanyang is not close to the consumer market and does not have the advantage of transportation. It might be difficult to develop a labor-intensive industry. I can't think of a good idea for now."
"Okay. You can treat this matter as a research topic. Think about it carefully. If you have any good ideas, communicate with me in time, okay? "Zhang Zhiyuan said with some disappointment.
"Okay, County Zhang. I will make preparations in the near future."
When they arrived at Bei Zhou City, the car went straight to the scenic area of Mount Tiantong and stopped in front of a villa. Zhang Zhiyuan got out of the car and walked straight in.
After entering, the living room was empty. He could only hear the sound of splashing in the backyard. When he walked to the backyard, he saw the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Guo Jinzhu, swimming contentedly. His secretary, Li Xiaochuan, was sitting at the side, holding an expensive laptop in his hands. His brows were furrowed as he wrote furiously. When he saw Zhang Zhiyuan, he quickly got up and walked over. He said with a smile, "County Zhang, you're here." Then he nodded at Lu Yiwei.
Although Guo Jinzhu had a fat head and big ears, his body was extremely agile when he swam. He was like a strong shark swimming freely in the water, which made Lu Yiwei look at him in a new light.
Under Li Xiaochuan's lead, Zhang Zhiyuan and Lu Yiwei sat under an umbrella and enjoyed Guo Jinzhu's solo performance.
