Dong Xuebing was furious after accompanying Li Shengbing for the whole morning.
Li Shengbing kept causing trouble and did not follow Dong Xuebing's itinerary. He made it look like he is inspecting the County's projects. He even recorded some minor problems, and the investors were confused. After the meeting, they kept asking Dong Xuebing to change their plans.
Even Cao Xupeng, who has a good temper, was angered, let alone Dong Xuebing.
They could tell that this group of reporters had come here with colored glasses from the beginning.
Dong Xuebing guessed Li Shengbing and his men might be purposely looking for trouble. Just like what Secretary Cao had said, Yan Tai County might have offended someone, and that person is familiar with these reporters. That's why he asked them to come to Yan Tai County to create trouble. Another possibility is that these reporters did not find anything wrong with their interviews a few days ago and felt their reports are not shocking enough. That's why they chose Yan Tai County at the last minute to increase the 'entertainment' factor. Problematic incidents are usually more attractive than 'everyone is happy.'
But no matter how angry Cao Xupeng is, Xin Hua News Agency is a national newspaper, and Cao Xupeng had reported to Xiang Daofa about what happened. Xiang Daofa had instructed Cao Xupeng to take care of these reporters and prevent any problems from appearing in the newspapers under Xin Hua News Agency, especially Li Shengbing. If Li Shengbing goes against the higher-ups and the Xin Hua News Agency's newspapers publish Yan Tai County's name, it will cause an uproar, and no one in Yan Tai County wants to see this happen.
Before noon, the interview mission had finally come to an end.
Zhao Xinglong said. "Mr. Reporter, the guest house had arranged lunch, and it's getting late. Shall we go over?"
Li Shengbing looked at Dong Xuebing and laughed. "Why don't we go to the Investment Promotion Agency? We can take a look at the Agency and save time."
Wang Na also agreed. She is Li Shengbing's university classmate.
Cao Xupeng saw Zhao Xinglong's face changed, and he said. "Alright. Let's go to the Investment Promotion Agency. Xiao Dong, can you make the arrangements?"
Dong Xuebing took a deep breath to suppress his anger and nodded.
After boarding the car, Dong Xuebing called Luo Haiting and asked her to arrange a sumptuous dinner. The County Government's car led the way to the Investment Promotion Agency. When Dong Xuebing was in the General Affairs Office, he had arranged meals for them. But these reporters were more troublesome than the leaders. When Xie Huilan's father, Xie Guobang, came to the State Security for an inspection, he was not as troublesome as Li Shengbing.
On the way, Dong Xuebing's phone rang several times.
"Hello, Chief Dong. I'm Old Wang from the battery factory. A reporter from Xin Hua News Agency had come to our factory for an interview. You have to give me some information. Is there a problem with pollution? But we had an agreement, and we followed the county government's requirements to adopt the domestic standards for pollution treatment. I heard from the people in the factory that Xinhua News Agency wants to implement some international standards? There's no such thing in our agreement. If you want us to change it, we won't bear all the losses. "
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "Manager Wang, this is just a suggestion. Don't worry."
"But this will be reported in the papers, and our factory can't afford it."
After talking for a while, Dong Xuebing hung up and almost dropped his phone on the floor. Damn! These bastards are trying to create trouble for me. They don't know anything about Yan Tai County's situation, and they dare to talk nonsense?! What international standards?! You think it's easy for you to talk?! What do you know?! Dong Xuebing looked at the reporters' car in front of him through the window and was furious.
Cao Xupeng looked at Dong Xuebing. "They will be leaving in the afternoon, and it's not a good time to clash with them. Xiao Dong, control your temper."
Dong Xuebing nodded and took a few deep breaths. Hurry up and leave. If they don't leave now, he will beat them up.
… …
Noon.
Noon.
Dong Xuebing and his team are about to reach the Investment Promotion Agency. Ring … ring … ring … Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
It's Luo Haiting's panicked voice. "Chief, something happened in the Agency. Don't let the reporters in!" It's noisy on the other end, and someone seems to be cursing.
Dong Xuebing got nervous and shouted. "The cars are here. What's going on?"
Cao Xupeng and Zhao Xinglong looked over.
Luo Haiting said, "It's Wang Shaoyan. He came to ask for money again. When we saw him, we immediately asked the guards to kick him out. But he refused to leave and insisted that we beat him up. Now there are many people outside, so we can't force him. We're dealing with it now."
Dong Xuebing shouted. "Hurry up and chase him away! I will give you all one minute! The car is already at the junction! "
"Errr … there's no time. I will try my best …"
Cao Xupeng asked. "What's wrong?"
Dong Xuebing quickly told Cao Xupeng what happened and said. "That Wang Shaoyan is unreasonable. Secretary Cao, turn around and don't go to the Investment Promotion Agency."
But it's too late. They can hear shouts from afar, and there are more than a dozen people outside the Investment Promotion Agency's building. Li Shengbing, Wang Na, and the rest turned to look at the reporters' car in front. Li Shengbing even rolled down his window and looked out.
Cao Xupeng is furious. "Why did something happen at this time? Ah? "
Dong Xuebing replied. "I did not do my job well."
"I know that Wang Shaoyan." Zhao Xinglong helped Dong Xuebing explain. "He is a hooligan, and he had come to my office to cause trouble before. That was before Lunar New Year."
The car stopped, and everyone alighted.
Wang Shaoyan is lying on the ground in front of the building's gate. Sun Shuli, Luo Haiting, Lin Pingping, and the rest of the Investment Promotion Agency's leaders are standing beside him. Jiang Hailiang and two young men from the Investment Promotion Agency are trying to pull him away. But Wang Shaoyan refused to get up. He even rolled away from them and shouted. "Someone is beating me up! The Investment Promotion Agency is beating me up! Where is the law?! Ah?! "
The commoners were pointing and discussing at the side.
Luo Haiting and the rest are sweating. They had heard that the reporters from Xin Hua Agency are here to cause trouble and know nothing must happen at this time. But the more they don't want anything to happen, the harder it is to cause trouble. Luo Haiting, Sun Shuli, and the rest saw Dong Xuebing, Cao Xupeng, and the rest walking towards them.
"Secretary Cao."
"Chief."
"Mayor Zhao."
Dong Xuebing pointed at them and wanted to scold them. But he knew he could not blame them for this and swallowed his words. He took a deep breath and looked at Wang Shaoyan furiously!
Cao Xupeng shouted. "Call the police! Chase them away! "
Luo Haiting agreed and immediately called the Public Security Bureau.
But Li Shengbing, Wang Na, and Wang Ting are one step ahead of them and had walked over to Wang Shaoyan.
Li Shengbing looks down at Wang Shaoyan. "Brother, we are reporters from Xin Hua Agency. What happened?"
Wang Shaoyan's eyes brighten up when he heard these people were from Xinhua News Agency. He grabbed Li Shengbing's arm and said: "Reporters, you all came at the right time. Look at how they beat me up!" He grimaced in pain and moved his arm. "My arm is almost broken. Is this still a government agency? Is this still a government agency? Reporters! You all can be my judge! I must get an explanation from them today! "
Dong Xuebing is furious. "Stop talking nonsense here! Who beat you up?! Point it out! "
Xin Hua Agency is too famous, and Wang Shaoyan is not afraid. "He … he … and him … all of them beat me up!"
Before Dong Xuebing, Sun Shuli, and the rest can say anything, Wang Na frowned. "Why did they beat you up?" Li Shengbing whispered to Wang Ting, and Wang Ting took out her notebook to record.
Zhao Xinglong's face changed. "Young comrade! This is not part of the interview. "
Li Shengbing stood up straight and said, "The people are injured, so we need to seek justice for them. I accompanied Little Na and the others to understand the situation of the investment. Of course, this is also within the scope of the interview." After saying that, he looked at Wang Shaoyan and said, "What exactly happened?
Wang Shaoyan thought for a while and shouted. "The Investment Promotion Agency staff is corrupt! They are afraid I will expose them, and that's why they beat me up! "
Sun Shuli shouted angrily. "Wang Shaoyan! Stop talking nonsense here! "
Luo Haiting, Jiang Hailiang, and the rest almost scolded Wang Shaoyan.
Wang Shaoyan shouted. "If you all are not corrupt, then what are you all? Ah? We had agreed to give me 50,000 RMB commission for every investment I get! But how long has it been? I have not seen a single cent! Where did the money go? It's all because you all are corrupt! I came over to ask for money, and you all beat me up! Damn! Something must be going on! Reporters! You must report this in the papers! Let everyone know about this! "
Wang Na blinked, squatted down and said, "Tell me more details."
"This person is a hooligan! Why are you all paying attention to him? Can you all believe what he said? " Zhao Xinglong looks at the reporters. "I know what happened, and I will tell you all when I get back. Let's have lunch in the Agency!"
Li Shengbing looks at the reporters. "Leaders, let's have lunch first. We need to know more about this." He took out his camera and started taking pictures without listening to the Investment Promotion Agency staff's explanation. After taking pictures of Wang Shaoyan and the bystanders, he even pointed the camera at the Investment Promotion Agency's signboard. He had only heard Wang Shaoyan's side of the story, and Li Shengbing is overjoyed.
Li Na asked Wang Ting to record what Wang Shaoyan said.
Dong Xuebing saw this and immediately stepped forward. "I gave you face, but you don't want it! Who asked you to take pictures?! "
Everyone was shocked. No one had expected Chief Dong to scold someone from Xin Hua News Agency!
