When Hong Lijie received Huang Jianghua's call, he was also inspecting the post-disaster recovery in the district. Huang Jianghua's call surprised and frightened Hong Lijie. Although he was a district mayor, he was not qualified to put on airs in front of Huang Jianghua, the mayor's secretary. Huang Jianghua was the mayor's close aide, and his invisible status was not something that a district mayor like him could ignore.
Hearing that Huang Jianghua's call was ordered by Mayor Chen Xing, and that Chen Xing was still in Pingcun Village, Anshun District, Hong Lijie immediately shivered. The mayor was coming down, but he did not inform the district in advance, and then called at this time. Hong Lijie had a bad feeling.
After hanging up Huang Jianghua's call, Hong Lijie was no longer in the mood for inspection. At this time, he was inspecting Chengguan Street with the deputy district mayor, Shi Yansheng, and the others. Chang Zhijian, the director of Chengguan Street Office, was accompanied by a group of people from the street. Chang Zhijian was now a favorite of Chen Xing, and this was Hong Lijie's opinion. Therefore, when Hong Lijie chose to inspect, he naturally chose Chengguan Street, which naturally implied some kind of hidden message. The first place that the leader chose to inspect showed that he attached great importance to that place. Hong Lijie came to Chengguan Street with the same intention. Li Yajun, the deputy district mayor, had been publicly suspended by Chen Xing at the meeting the day before yesterday. Although it was only a verbal statement from Chen Xing, and there was no related punishment for Li Yajun, no one thought that Li Yajun could continue to be the deputy district mayor.
Hong Lijie was determined to recommend Chang Zhijian to be the deputy district mayor. Not only could he make Chang Zhijian be on his side, but he would also have one more person in the district party group to strengthen his control over the district government. Moreover, he could curry favor with Chen Xing. After all, Chen Xing had praised Chang Zhijian in front of Hong Lijie last time. Hong Lijie thought that if he nominated Chang Zhijian to be the deputy district mayor, it would be the right choice, and naturally, the leader would be happy.
Let's go to Xianglin Street. Hong Lijie ordered. Pingcun Village belonged to the Fragrant Forest Street Office, which was quite a distance away from them.
Hong Lijie suddenly wanted to leave after receiving a phone call. The rest of the people looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. The deputy mayor, Shi Yansheng, looked at Hong Lijie in confusion. He was closer to Hong Lijie, so he vaguely heard the words "Mayor Chen," but he didn't know what was going on. He asked quietly, "Mayor Hong Lijie, what's the matter?"
Mayor Chen was in Pingcun. Hong Lijie replied with a simple sentence and had already started walking in the direction of the car.
Chen Xing was in Pingcun Village. Hong Lijie's simple words had explained enough. No wonder Hong Lijie didn't dare to delay. Chen Xing was now a volcano, and he could erupt at any time. Everyone was afraid of him now. The day before yesterday, he even went crazy at the Beishan Reservoir. It was said that the director of the Reservoir Administration Bureau, Sun Wencai, was about to be out of luck.
Because of the sudden change of schedule, the people on the streets of the city gate were a little unprepared. Chang Zhijian didn't understand what was going on, so he walked towards Hong Lijie's car.
Hong Lijie, who had already sat in the car, looked at Chang Zhijian. He changed his mind and immediately got out of the car. "Zhijian, come with us to Pingcun Village. Mayor Chen is there."
After Hong Lijie finished speaking, he patted Chang Zhijian's shoulder. His affection was obvious. Chang Zhijian was stunned for a moment, then he was pleasantly surprised. Not to mention Hong Lijie's friendly attitude towards him, now that Chen Xing was in Pingcun Village, how could Chang Zhijian not be happy?
The group got into the car. Because Hong Lijie was in a hurry, there were no delays on the road, and the speed was much faster than usual.
When Hong Lijie and the others arrived, Chen Xing was still in the same place. The triangular-eyed man almost wanted to hit Chen Xing and was ready to drive Chen Xing away. In his opinion, Chen Xing was obviously a troublemaker. He was deliberately hindering them from getting rich. If it wasn't for the official-looking man who stopped him, the triangular-eyed man would have already waved his fist and threatened Chen Xing.
The official-looking man was the village chief of Pingcun Village, Zhou Sande, nicknamed Zhou Laosan. Zhou Laosan had been in a good mood for the past two days. Although the heavy rain that was rarely seen in a hundred years had caused a disaster in the village, the higher-ups had promised to allocate funds according to the disaster situation to reduce the villagers' losses.
This was a great thing for the village. Once the higher-ups allocated funds, how much money was allocated and how the villagers would be compensated would be decided by the village committee. There were many tricks to be played here, and the village committee would undoubtedly make a windfall. Therefore, Zhou Sande was not at all disgusted by the heavy rain these past two days. Instead, he was secretly delighted. He could not wait for the rain to get heavier and last longer. His house was a building, so it was not affected this time.
In fact, even the village committee could make a profit from the disaster relief food. After all, those foolish migrant workers were easy to fool. Who else would they cheat if not them?
When the time came, the money would be divided among the village cadres. The ordinary cadres would get a small portion, while he and the village secretary would get a large portion. Zhou Sande did not know how many people would be willing to fork out money to buy food, so he specially came over just now to take a look. Seeing so many people in the queue, Zhou Sande was originally beaming with joy. If his mood had not been ruined by Chen Xing's words, Zhou Sande would still be smiling now.
Zhou Sande didn't allow the triangular-eyed man to act recklessly. When he was sizing up Chen Xing, he was bewildered. Chen Xing didn't seem to be putting on an act when he was on the phone just now. Moreover, Chen Xing was standing there calmly and leisurely. Zhou Sande was a little frightened. Could he really be some big leader?
I am the village chief of Pingcun Village. Do you know District Chief Hong? Zhou Sande decided to test Chen Xing, so he changed his attitude.
Chen Xing glanced at him and did not reply. He just walked closer to the food distribution point. Behind a few tables, boxes of instant noodles and mineral water were piled up. Bread was also placed in white plastic boxes. There were also boxes of bread.
These food and water were enough for a day and a half. If it was really not enough, as long as the people below reported it, they would be able to get it immediately. The so-called shortage of supplies was simply nonsense.
Chen Xing tried to go around the tables, but the two village food distribution people stood still and blocked in front of Chen Xing.
I say, what do you want to do by walking around here? If there is nothing else, leave quickly. The triangular-eyed man did not know why the village chief, Zhou Sande, stopped him from beating up Chen Xing. This was the territory of Pingcun Village. Even if he beat someone up, would he be afraid of an outsider? The triangular-eyed man was a little confused about Zhou Sande's thoughts. At this moment, when he saw that Chen Xing was still walking around, he suddenly became unhappy and glared at Chen Xing. If Zhou Sande had not said anything, he would have really beaten him up.
What? Is there any special rule in your village that you don't allow others to see? Chen Xing's expression was cold. He was suppressing the anger in his heart. The Pingcun Village in front of him may only be a microcosm of the whole city. If there was a problem here, what about other places? When there was a lack of supervision and there was a vacuum of power, it was often when there was a problem. Chen Xing understood this more than anyone else, but he did not expect to personally encounter the trick below so soon.
Whether there are rules in our village or not, it is not up to you, an outsider, to criticize. Who do you think you are? The triangular-eyed man squinted at Chen Xing and shouted.
Who I am is not important. What is important is that this is a Pingcun Village under the rule of the XX Party, not a Pingcun Village where some of you can do whatever you want and do whatever you want. Chen Xing's voice was stern, especially when he stared at Zhou Sande. His eyes were even colder. The other party was the village chief of this Pingcun Village. The Pingcun Village played such tricks when distributing free disaster relief food. As the village chief, Zhou Sande undoubtedly had the main responsibility that he could not shirk.
Oh, you talk big. Believe it or not, I will send you to the hospital with one punch. Let's see if you talk big or if my fist is bigger. The triangular-eyed man's chest was very arrogant. He was originally a ruffian in this Pingcun Village, not even a village leader. This time, the village distributed food and collected money from outsiders, so naturally, a group of people had to be organized to maintain order and prevent outsiders from causing trouble. The triangular-eyed man was recruited under such circumstances. His task was to prevent trouble and to keep an eye on reporters who came to investigate secretly. As a reward, he could receive 200 yuan from the village every day and an extra portion of food. Since he had nothing to do, he was naturally happy to accept this kind of task.
"Village chief, let me teach this kid a lesson so that he won't be an eyesore here." The triangular-eyed man turned to consult Zhou Sande. Without Zhou Sande's permission, he did not dare to act on his own.
Zhou Sande did not say anything. He stared at Chen Xing and frowned. He did not know Chen Xing's background, but judging from Chen Xing's expression, it did not seem like he was bluffing. He was really afraid that he had offended a ruthless person.
"You are the village chief, right? Let me give you a suggestion. If you can seriously change, apologize to everyone, and return the money, I will not pursue your actions." Chen Xing looked at Zhou Sande. He wanted to see if this group of village leaders had really lost their minds for the sake of money.
Refund? Zhou Sande, who had been silent all this time, finally changed his expression. He looked at Chen Xing with a more sinister gaze. He, Zhou Sande, valued money as much as his life. Asking him to spit out the money that was almost in his mouth? Wasn't this asking for his life?
"Do you really think that you are a leader just because you said the name of the district chief? I don't care that you are a troublemaker here, but you really dare … "Zhou Sande's words stopped abruptly. His mouth, which was about to speak, was just like that, as if his neck was being squeezed. His eyes were wide open, and he stared at the back.
Hong Lijie, who had arrived with the district cadres, was immediately overjoyed when he saw Chen Xing. He hurried to greet him. It was Mayor Chen.
