Chapter 472: Please fulfill your promise!

~12 min read 2,306 words

As soon as she pushed the door open, Secretary Li didn't even look at him, and said coldly to the air, "Bureau Chief Zhang is calling you!" After speaking, she twisted her buttocks and left, with an attitude of being at odds with him. Ever since Secretary Li reported Zhao Desan's actions to Zhang Ailing, he had felt an incomparable dislike for this girl he once liked. Seeing her arrogant look of looking down on ordinary people made him angry.

After she left, Zhao Desan finished the cigarette in his hand calmly before slowly going to Zhang Ailing's office. While walking to the sofa and sitting down, he asked, "Bureau Chief Zhang, what can I do for you?"

"Comrade Xiao Zhao, you succeeded!" The Bureau Chief said expressionlessly.

Zhao Desan looked at her blankly, and suddenly realized, looking at her with joy: "Bureau Chief Zhang, do you mean that matter is done?"

"Yes, the reply from the Provincial Party Committee has come down, agreeing to the proposal submitted by the city. The Municipal Party Committee just notified me." Zhang Ailing said.

"Really?" He pulled out a cigarette and lit it with joy, looking excited. He took a puff and continued to ask: "Bureau Chief Zhang, then didn't it say when it will start to be implemented?"

"Once the reply comes down, the specific implementation will definitely be fast. This depends on how the city arranges it." She said, "Now you should also fulfill your promise, right?"

"Promise? What promise?" He deliberately pretended to be confused and asked.

This made Zhang Ailing angry, her face stiffened, the corner of her mouth twitched, and she puffed her cheeks and said: "Comrade Xiao Zhao! Don't pretend with me! You said at the beginning that if the matter was done, you would give those photo negatives to me!"

He suddenly realized and laughed: "Oh, I remember, Bureau Chief Zhang, don't be anxious. I won't publish them. Look at how scared you are. Once the matter is implemented, I will definitely give them to you."

"You..." Zhang Ailing puffed her mouth, softened her tone, and sneered: "Okay, Comrade Xiao Zhao! I'll believe you one more time. Don't play any tricks! People's patience is limited! Once the Heihe Coal Mine is closed, you must fulfill your promise immediately!"

"Definitely, definitely." He chuckled, "Then if there's nothing else, I'll go first." Saying that, he got up and left the Bureau Chief's office.

As soon as he returned to the Safety Quality Section, he sent a message to Ma Lan telling her the latest progress. Learning that the Provincial Party Committee had approved the closure of the Heihe Coal Mine, Ma Lan was extremely excited. Thinking that the Lin family would lose its leading position in the coal industry in Yuyang City because of this, a feeling of great satisfaction arose in her heart.

At the same time, the Lin family was still kept in the dark. As the Secretary of the Shenfu County Party Committee, Lin Jianyang had repeatedly sent the town head of Baishui Town to unite with the local village head where the coal mine was located to organize villagers to go to the city government to make trouble, urging the Municipal Party Committee very tightly. As soon as the reply from the Provincial Party Committee came down, the Yuyang Municipal Government held an emergency meeting that day and decided to seal and close the Heihe Coal Mine from that day on.

Zhao Desan sent a message to Ma Lan and sat in the office smoking calmly. Once the Provincial Party Committee approved this matter, it was a settled matter. Helping Ma Lan complete her matter, he began to consider his own future. Especially since he had offended the two major leaders in the bureau because of this matter, and had also ruined his relationship with Li Li Shanshan, the favorite around the Bureau Chief. Moreover, the Lin family would sooner or later know the truth of this matter. Offending so many people at once, he felt that his future days would definitely be like a "street rat that everyone shouts to beat," and he would not be peaceful.

It just so happened that Su Qing told him about the provincial public recruitment of talents that day. Perhaps this was an opportunity, but it would take until June next year to get the results. There was still half a year left, and it seemed that his days in the bureau would not be easy. Thinking that he was about to fall into a situation where he might be framed at any time, he made up his mind. Before he could safely get out of the Coal Bureau and even Yuyang City, he must not hand over the handle in his hand to the Bureau Chief and Deputy Bureau Chief Wang. And he still had the wonderful photos of Mrs. Lin in his hand. As long as these things were still in his hands, these enemies would not be able to do anything to him for the time being.

In the afternoon, the city sent the notice to Ma Lan, the general manager of Xinmao Mining. Seeing the red-headed document in black and white, she truly saw the "appointment letter." For a moment, she was really excited and couldn't help herself, thinking that this Zhao Desan was really capable. Counting this time, he had done her two big favors. The second favor was a very important step in her revenge plan. As long as the Heihe Coal Mine was closed, the Lin family's industrial scale would be on par with hers. Further, after the underground coal mining belt of the Heihe Coal Mine was merged into the Xiaogou Coal Mine, Xinmao Mining would easily surpass Lin's Mining without any effort. To show her gratitude, Ma Lan invited Zhao Desan out in the evening and gave him a bank card with one million yuan as a reward. After repeated refusals, he had no choice but to accept it. Having been in the Coal Bureau for three and a half years, although the salary and benefits were good, he had been spending money lavishly and had never saved any money. If he went to work in the province after the public examination in June next year, he would inevitably need money to clear the relationship. Taking this money was good, leaving it for his future path.

At the same time, the Lin family, who was determined to close Ma Lan's Xiaogou Coal Mine, received another mine closure notice from the Municipal Party Committee. Given that the Heihe Coal Mine had been mined for more than a year, the Municipal Party Committee would pay 80% of the winning bid to Lin's Mining in installments. The completely opposite red-headed document from the Municipal Party Committee was like a bolt from the blue for Lin Lin Dafa. Seeing the document, his mood fell from the clouds to the bottom of the valley. He couldn't believe that after waiting for a month or two, the decision result of the Provincial Party Committee was completely opposite to what he expected. While disappointed, he felt extremely angry. The first person he wanted to find was naturally Zhang Ailing, the director of the Yuyang Municipal Coal Bureau, whom he had always relied on.

Of course, Lin Lin Dafa drove directly to the entrance of the residential area where Zhang Ailing lived. At the entrance of the residential area, he stopped Zhang Ailing, who had just stepped off her special car and was about to go in, and questioned her with extreme dissatisfaction: "Bureau Chief Zhang, I asked you to do things for me. It's fine if you don't do it, but why do you want to close my mine in the end?"

Seeing his angry look, Zhang Ailing also lost her confidence for a moment. She was stunned for a moment, adjusted her glasses, and said: "Old Lin, this is the decision of the Provincial Party Committee. I also just received the notice from the Municipal Party Committee today. I was also very surprised when I received the notice. I have tried my best to help you with this matter, but I don't know what tricks Ma Lan of Xinmao Mining did in secret, which made the Provincial Party Committee reverse the result."

"Director Zhang, since you can't help, you could have told me earlier. You made me wait for a few months in vain. If I had known, I would have found someone else. You are really unreliable!" Lin Lin Dafa was in a fit of anger, and his attitude towards Zhang Ailing was quite bad, which made her a bit angry. She sneered with a straight face: "Humph! Boss Lin, I don't have the ability to help you, then you should have known not to find me! You don't think about how much I have helped you over the years! Otherwise, you, Lin Lin Dafa, wouldn't be where you are today!"

Seeing that Zhang Ailing was also angry, Lin Lin Dafa knew that his attitude just now was a bit too much, so he softened his tone and said: "Old Zhang, I didn't mean that. I just think this matter is very strange. I have been waiting for the result, and your side has always been calm, but now the Provincial Party Committee has made such a decision. Don't you think it's strange?"

Zhang Ailing sneered and said: "Old Lin, you are indeed very capable in Yuyang City, but you should know that this matter is ultimately decided by the province! You should know how complicated the relationship in the province is! Besides, I don't know the relationship with that Ma Lan. Maybe she bypassed Yuyang and found someone in the province, otherwise the province wouldn't have made such a decision. You should think about it yourself. Anyway, I have tried my best to help you with this matter. As for whether it succeeds or not, I have told you that it depends on the meaning of the superiors. Now the result is like this, and the city's documents have come down. If you want to change it again, it is impossible."

Hearing her say this, Lin Lin Dafa couldn't help but feel that he had underestimated Ma Lan, this woman. If she really used someone in the province, and someone who could influence the result, then it must be a big shot. If there was really such a person with heaven-reaching ability behind her, then he could only admit his bad luck. He puffed his cheeks and said: "Since you say so, Old Zhang, it seems that I, Lin Lin Dafa, can only admit my bad luck. The document says that I will be paid 80% of the winning bid in three years. When can the first payment arrive?"

"You have to ask the Municipal Party Committee about this. The bureau can't manage this." She softened her tone and said, "Okay, I've been working for a day and I'm very tired. I'll go back first. Old Lin, you should also reflect on it when you go back." After speaking, Zhang Ailing turned and walked into the residential area.

Lin Lin Dafa looked at Zhang Ailing's distant back, his face was covered with dark clouds, and his expression was extremely ugly. Unfortunately, Zhang Ailing had already made it very clear. If Ma Lan had a heaven-reaching figure behind her, he could only accept this reality. As long as the Municipal Party Committee promised to compensate him and not let him do a losing business, it would be fine. After returning home and telling this news to Lin Jianyang, the Secretary of the Shenfu County Party Committee, the latter was also shocked. He had made a lot of efforts in secret for the Lin family to annex the Xiaogou Coal Mine, but it had the opposite result. And because of this matter, he had personally visited Zhao Desan. He thought that the Coal Bureau had been cleared from top to bottom, but the current result really made him unable to accept it for a while. He rushed back to the Lin family's villa from Shenfu County overnight to discuss countermeasures with the old man.

For this result, Zhang Hui, who was sitting on the side, was also shocked and said incredibly: "No way? Section Chief Liu took the card and promised to help us, how... how could he close our family's mine?"

Lin Jianyang was in a fit of anger. It would have been fine if she didn't speak, but as soon as she spoke, she immediately attracted his reprimand: "You still say! Didn't you say there was no problem at all?"

Mrs. Lin was like a deflated ball, stammering and saying: "Section Chief Liu said... said he would help us... and he took the card."

"I guess those guys in the Coal Bureau are playing with our Lin family? Could it be that the woman surnamed Ren gave them more benefits?" Lin Jianyang guessed through gritted teeth.

"That's impossible, right? The friendship between our dad and Bureau Chief Zhang hasn't been a day or two. It's not something that can be bought with a little money, right?" Mrs. Lin put forward her own view.

Lin Jianyang glanced at his flirtatious wife and asked the old man: "Dad, what should we do?"

Lin Lin Dafa had been gloomy, took a sip of tea, and said weakly like a deflated ball: "What else can we do? The Provincial Party Committee has decided, and the Yuyang Municipal Government has also issued a notice. What else can we do? We can only admit bad luck!"

Lin Jianyang said through gritted teeth: "That woman surnamed Ren's wishful thinking is a bit too early. I won't let her go so easily!" ===== CHAPTER 473 =====
