In fact, Zhou Sande had never seen Mayor Hong Lijie, but he recognized Zhao Lijuan, the director of the subdistrict office. Zhao Lijuan followed Hong Lijie, and Hong Lijie called Chen Xing Mayor Chen. Zhao Lijuan and others also looked respectful. What else could be said in this situation?
Zhou Sande's face turned pale when he heard the word Mayor Chen. How could this young man in front of him be the mayor?
Haha, this person is interesting. He pretended to be pretentious, but he also invited people to act with him, and it was a big group of people. Isn't this the same as those people outside? The triangular-eyed man suddenly laughed. What? Do you want to compete with us in the territory of the Plain Village? Believe it or not, I can immediately call more than a hundred people over with a roar.
The triangular-eyed man laughed wildly. His voice was so harsh at this moment that even Hong Lijie and others who did not know the situation looked at the man. For a moment, they did not understand the situation. At this time, Zhou Sande's heart was about to jump out of his chest. After hearing the triangular-eyed man's words, his chest rose and fell sharply. Zhou Sande felt that he was going to vomit blood and die.
The triangular-eyed man was unaware of the strange situation. He approached Hong Lijie, because he just heard Hong Lijie call Chen Xing mayor. After approaching Hong Lijie, the triangular-eyed man looked back at Zhou Sande and smiled. Village head, did you hear that? He called me mayor. He acted really well. Do you really think that we are scared?
Why don't you call him governor? Isn't it better to bluff? The triangular-eyed man turned to Hong Lijie and stretched out his hand to poke him. I also said that I am the chief of the central government. Believe it or not.
Where did this psycho come from? Hong Lijie's eyes were about to spit fire. With Chen Xing around, he could only curse in a low voice. At the same time, he reached out and slapped the triangular-eyed man's hand away. From the initial confusion of the situation to the current rage, Hong Lijie actually had no idea what was going on. However, this did not stop him from getting angry. What the hell was wrong with these people from the countryside?
You called me a psycho? You're asking for it …
Zhang Mazi, get back here. Zhou Sande exploded. His face was pale.
Village head, what's going on? I was just about to teach you a lesson …
Why don't you shut your mouth. Zhou Sande looked like he was going to eat someone alive, but that was only for Zhou Sande. When he turned around to look at Zhao Lijuan, the director of the street office, and Hong Lijie and the others, Zhou Sande was about to cry. He knew that he had really caused a huge disaster this time.
Hong Lijie didn't argue with the triangular-eyed man directly. He just glanced at Zhao Lijuan, and his expression didn't look any better.
Village Chief Zhou, what's going on? What the hell is your village doing? Zhao Lijuan shouted at Zhou Sande with a sharp voice. She was the only female director in the nine street offices under the jurisdiction of Anshun District. She was usually a bit shrewish, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to control the people below her. Zhao Lijuan almost wanted to tear Zhou Sande apart. Zhou Sande really made her, the street office director, proud in front of the mayor and the mayor. Zhao Lijuan had never made the mayor and the mayor pay so much attention to her. She didn't expect that the first time would be in this way … Zhao Lijuan wanted to slap Zhou Sande to death.
Director Zhao, this … this is a misunderstanding. Zhou Sande's face was mournful. The fat on his fat head and big ears shook from time to time. Zhou Sande hated that his brain, which was usually considered smart, wasn't working well. At this critical moment, he wanted to make up an excuse to get rid of the responsibility, but he didn't know what to say.
Zhou Sande glanced at Chen Xing carefully. The cold sweat on his back didn't stop. He knew that it was hard to find an excuse now. The key to the lie was Chen Xing. Chen Xing had been watching the scene for a long time. He knew what he shouldn't know. What's more, he was caught on the spot. How could he find an excuse to cover up the fact that the village collected money?
"Mayor Lijie, this Pingcun Village used disaster relief supplies to make a fortune, and he even openly divided locals and foreigners into different classes, blatantly discriminating against them. I don't know how your district arranged for the post-disaster relief work, but I don't want to hear about Pingcun Village's behavior ever again. Chen Xing turned back to look at Hong Lijie. "As for this incident, I hope your district can be a negative example and serve as a warning."
"Rest assured, Mayor Chen. The district will investigate this matter strictly and give an explanation to the people who were discriminated against. The district will also severely punish the cadres who violated the law and discipline." Upon hearing Chen Xing's words, Hong Lijie immediately expressed his stance without thinking.
Chen Xing nodded his head. He was quite satisfied with Hong Lijie's attitude. At the very least, he believed that Hong Lijie would not dare to disobey him. Looking around at the disaster victims, there were locals and foreigners among them. Chen Xing sighed. Locals would always subconsciously look down on foreigners. Little did they know, in the process of the city's development, these migrant workers had also made great contributions. They had also participated in the construction of the city, and it was only right that they be respected by the people of this city and even the people here.
"Your district should apologize to those migrant workers who were discriminated against." Chen Xing glanced at Hong Lijie.
Hong Lijie hesitated for a moment this time. Ask the district government to apologize? This was a good deed done by Ping Village itself. It would be enough to ask the Ping Village Committee to publicly apologize. At most, it would be the grass-roots government of the township and street level to apologize. As for asking the district to apologize? Hong Lijie didn't agree with Chen Xing's words.
Hong Lijie appeared to be hesitant, but when he raised his head and met Chen Xing's gaze, he saw that there was a hint of fierceness in Chen Xing's eyes. Hong Lijie's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to hesitate anymore. He lowered his head and said, "Our district will definitely apologize to the migrant workers who were discriminated against. Today's incident has also taught us a lesson. In the future, we will try our best to avoid this kind of situation from happening again."
After Hong Lijie finished speaking, he looked in Zhao Lijuan's direction. Zhao Lijuan was embarrassed and even a little worried. This was the way of officialdom. One level suppresses the other. Zhao Lijuan knew that if Chen Xing pressured Hong Lijie, Hong Lijie would only vent his anger on the street office. Who asked them to make trouble this time?
Because of Chen Xing's intervention, the money collected by Ping Village was returned to everyone on the spot. At the same time, it was announced that everyone could receive food and water for free. The cheers at the scene became louder and louder. At this time, Chen Xing's face also showed a bit of a smile.
Many people cheered and squeezed in front of Chen Xing. Now everyone had heard that the mayor had come and helped them. It was just that this young man in front of them looked like a big boy. The people didn't have the awe they had when they saw big leaders in the past. Instead, they felt that Chen Xing was very friendly. Many people fought to shake hands with Chen Xing.
Chen Xing didn't dare to stay at the scene for long, for fear of causing chaos later. The enthusiasm of the people was really overwhelming for him.
When Chen Xing left, he didn't know that there was a middle-aged man behind him. At this moment, the middle-aged man was looking for something on the ground with his head down. After a while, the middle-aged man finally showed an expression of excitement. He picked up an extinguished cigarette butt from the ground, only to hear the middle-aged man muttering to himself a little crazily, "Damn, this is the little panda invited by the mayor. I smoked it all in one puff. It's such a waste. I have to keep this cigarette butt well. In the future, I can tell others that this is the little panda invited by the mayor."
The middle-aged man was very happy, but the triangular-eyed man was almost out of his soul. The mayor … the district … had been offended by him. The triangular-eyed man still didn't know what was waiting for him.
…
Mayor, I heard that you just went to Anshun District? When Chen Xing returned to the Municipal Government, Shao Huadong had already heard about what happened in Ping Village in Anshun District.
Well, he drove alone in the morning and wanted to look around. He didn't expect to see this kind of thing. Chen Xing shook his head and said.
You can only see it in private visits. If you arrange a formal inspection, you won't see anything. Shao Huadong laughed.
What you said makes sense. As a leader, more often than not, they are still deceived. The people below them may not be good at other things, but they are good at fraud. Chen Xing said.
As the two were talking, Huang Jianghua came in. Seeing Shao Huadong was also there, Huang Jianghua nodded and greeted Shao Huadong. He came to report to Chen Xing about the mountain collapse in Xing Hua County. There was no need to deliberately avoid Shao Huadong, so Huang Jianghua also reported directly to Chen Xing. Mayor, just now the latest news came from Xing Hua County. At present, the rescue work is almost over. Thirty-five bodies have been dug out, and no survivors have been found.
Thirty-five people, not even a living person. Chen Xing's face, which had a bit of a smile just now, had become extremely serious.
The accident happened too suddenly. Sigh, it didn't even give people a little time to prepare. Shao Huadong also sighed. This was the biggest casualty in Nanzhou in recent years.
