Chapter 3827
After Vice Mayor Tang made compromises and concessions, Zhao Desan thought to himself that he could finally hold his head high and feel proud in front of Wu Min again. At dusk, after Zhao Desan and Su Qing parted reluctantly, he drove back to the district. Halfway back, unable to bear the excitement in his heart, he called Wu Min.
As soon as the call went through, Zhao Desan said excitedly, "Sister Wu, I have good news for you. Vice Mayor Tang has agreed to allocate the 50 million support fund to our district."
"I know," Wu Min replied on the other end of the line.
This made Zhao Desan feel somewhat surprised, and he couldn't help but ask, "Sister Wu, how do you know?"
Wu Min replied, "Vice Mayor Tang just called me."
It turned out that just after Vice Mayor Tang finished Su Qing's call, he put down his phone and thought about it. Unable to swallow this anger, he called Wu Min. On the phone, Vice Mayor Tang sneered and said, "Secretary Wu, you're quite something. You actually moved provincial leaders to secure that 50 million support fund. For the sake of the provincial leaders, I plan to allocate this 50 million to your Chanba District. As for whether you, Secretary Wu, can use this fund to make a name for yourself, it depends on your ability, Secretary Wu!"
After finishing Vice Mayor Tang's call, Wu Min knew that it must be Zhao Desan who went to the city to find his cousin for help. Sure enough, not long after putting down Vice Mayor Tang's phone, Zhao Desan called and excitedly told her about this matter.
Although Vice Mayor Tang's tone on the phone sounded extremely unhappy, no matter what, being able to secure this support fund was a good thing after all. Wu Min continued, "You're quite capable, Xiao Zhao. I approved three days of leave for you, and you completed this task in less than two days. Should I praise you or criticize you?"
Wu Min's words made Zhao Desan feel a bit strange. He smiled awkwardly and asked, "Sister Wu, why do you say that?"
Wu Min sighed and said, "If it weren't for the pressure from above on Vice Mayor Tang, he definitely wouldn't have allocated this 50 million support fund to our district. Because of this matter, he must be very angry in his heart. It might be a bit difficult to secure any good policies from Vice Mayor Tang in the future."
Zhao Desan said dismissively, "Sister Wu, you don't need to think so much. Forget about him. Just secure this money first. As long as it's used for normal purposes, what else can he do to us!"
Wu Min felt that what Zhao Desan said also made sense. As long as they didn't embezzle this money and used it for normal channels to improve people's livelihood and environment, Vice Mayor Tang couldn't do anything to them either. Wu Min then said, "Since it's already like this, it can only be like this. Where are you now?"
Zhao Desan replied, "I just drove back from the city and am halfway there!"
Wu Min said, "That's fine. We'll talk when you get back."
"Loving you is hard to say..." Not long after finishing the call with Wu Min, Zhao Desan's mobile phone rang. He picked up the phone and saw it was a call from Biaozi, so he answered it.
"Big Brother, where are you?" Biaozi's tone on the phone was a bit anxious.
Zhao Desan asked with some confusion, "Biaozi, what's wrong?"
Biaozi said, "Old Chen has run into some trouble. The situation is a bit bad!"
Zhao Desan was stunned at first, then understood. The Old Chen Biaozi mentioned was the Old Chen who was bullied by Xu Dongxing's two sons. That night when they went to Dongxing Fertilizer Plant to slaughter those ten Tibetan Mastiffs, Old Chen was the main force. Zhao Desan hurriedly asked, "What happened to Old Chen?"
Biaozi said, "The situation with Old Chen is not very good. I went to Old Chen's house just now and found out that Old Chen was taken away by the criminal police team of the Chanba District Public Security Bureau yesterday. He hasn't been released yet. I guess the Public Security Bureau found out about us killing the Tibetan Mastiffs at Dongxing Fertilizer Plant."
Hearing Biaozi's words, Zhao Desan's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly said anxiously, "The matter of killing the Tibetan Mastiffs was done by the few of us together. Why would the Public Security Bureau only arrest Old Chen?"
"Yeah!" Biaozi thought for a moment and said, "I also find it strange. Old Chen was arrested, so why are the three of us safe and sound!"
Zhao Desan thought for a while and finally understood. He suddenly realized and said, "Biaozi, I think Old Chen must have shouldered the matter alone. He didn't reveal the three of us to the Public Security Bureau!"
After Zhao Desan said this, Biaozi also came to his senses. He immediately said, "I really couldn't tell. This Old Chen wears glasses and looks scholarly, but he's actually quite loyal. He's a buddy worth making friends with!"
Zhao Desan had originally agreed to sit down and have a good meal with these brothers in the next two days, but now Old Chen was implicated because of killing the Tibetan Mastiffs. Zhao Desan felt that he definitely couldn't sit idly by. In this society, even death row prisoners can be bailed out with money, let alone killing a few dogs, which doesn't count as a major crime. Zhao Desan hurriedly said, "Biaozi, Old Chen is loyal enough, and we can't be disloyal. No matter what, let's handle Old Chen's matter first!"
Biaozi stated his position, "Big Brother, I'll listen to you! I'm still waiting for Old Chen to open a restaurant together! I also want Old Chen to be released sooner!"
"We'll talk in detail when I get back," Zhao Desan said, speeding up the car toward the district.
Back in the district, at Biaozi's place, Zhao Desan asked Biaozi about the details of the matter. Zhao Desan thought for a while. Now, the only person who could bail Old Chen out of the Chanba District Public Security Bureau might be Yang Meixia. Because he himself was also involved in the killing of the Tibetan Mastiffs, it was inconvenient for him to step forward. Moreover, it was obvious to everyone that the killing of the Tibetan Mastiffs was closely related to the smooth progress of the demolition work. Of course, it was also inconvenient for Sister Wu to step forward. Therefore, Zhao Desan took out his mobile phone and called Yang Meixia. In this situation where he needed to take care of things on both sides, for now, he could only rely on Yang Meixia.
As soon as the call went through, after Zhao Desan explained the situation, Yang Meixia said unpleasantly on the mobile phone, "What a Zhao Desan. When there's nothing you need me to do, you forget me. When there's something you need me to do, you think of this girl! Not doing it!" After speaking, before Zhao Desan could explain, Yang Meixia hung up the phone.
Listening to the "beep-beep-beep" sound coming from the phone, Zhao Desan thought helplessly that this Yang Meixia was really angry! However, Zhao Desan didn't take it to heart. He knew that Yang Meixia had this kind of temper, and he understood her.
Seeing that Zhao Desan was given the cold shoulder by Yang Meixia, Biaozi looked at him with some worry and said, "Big Brother, if Big Sister Yang doesn't care about this matter, then this matter will be really hard to handle!"
Zhao Desan smiled dismissively, "Don't worry about this. This Yang Meixia just has this stinky temper. I can guarantee that within three minutes, she will call back!"
Biaozi "hummed" through his nose, not quite believing Zhao Desan's words. However, it was really guessed by Zhao Desan. In less than three minutes, Zhao Desan's mobile phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was indeed Yang Meixia's call. Zhao Desan shook the phone triumphantly at Biaozi and answered the call. Immediately, Yang Meixia's scolding voice came through: "Zhao Desan, where are you now?"
Zhao Desan replied, "I'm in the district!"
"Come to the District Committee immediately!" Yang Meixia said in a commanding tone. Just after speaking, she hung up the phone again.
So Zhao Desan immediately asked Biaozi to drive to the District Committee. Just as they arrived at the entrance of the District Committee, Zhao Desan saw Yang Meixia wearing a black women's suit, her hair flying, standing gracefully on the side of the entrance of the District Committee.
Zhao Desan asked Biaozi to stop the car beside Yang Meixia. Yang Meixia didn't stand on ceremony either, pulled open the car door, got in, and said, "Go to the Public Security Bureau!"
Biaozi obediently drove Zhao Desan and Yang Meixia toward the Chanba District Public Security Sub-bureau. On the way, Zhao Desan asked Yang Meixia, "Minister Yang, do I need to explain the process of the matter to you in detail again?"
Yang Meixia said coldly, "No need. When we arrive at the Public Security Bureau, you and Biaozi go and surrender yourselves. I can let them handle you leniently!"
Hearing Yang Meixia's words, Biaozi was so scared that he slammed on the brakes, causing the car behind to also brake, almost hitting the rear bumper of Biaozi's car. When passing Biaozi's car, the driver also rolled down the window and complained a few words about Biaozi's driving skills.
Biaozi hurriedly stopped the car on the side of the road and argued with Yang Meixia, "Minister Yang, you can't do this! If we surrender, we won't ask you for help with this matter. If we surrender, the two of us can do it completely! We want you to help us bail Old Chen out of the hands of the police, not send us in too!"
Seeing Biaozi's anxious look, Zhao Desan smiled and didn't speak, because he knew that Yang Meixia was completely angry and just scaring them. He didn't expect Biaozi to take it seriously.
Yang Meixia ignored Biaozi, but reached out and pinched Zhao Desan's thigh hard, saying, "Zhao Desan, why aren't you speaking!"
Zhao Desan let out an "ouch" in pain and said with a smile, "I know, Minister Yang is just teasing me and Biaozi!"
Yang Meixia didn't use force for the first time. Zhao Desan just let out a slight "ouch" and only felt a bit itchy. Just after Zhao Desan finished this sentence, Yang Meixia wrinkled her nose and pinched his thigh hard.
