Chapter 1081: Is the New County Magistrate a Softie?

The next morning, at the summons of Li Yongan.

A meeting of the work group for the major safety production rectification campaign was held in the conference room of the County Work Safety Supervision Bureau.

Tang Ye attended this meeting; he walked into the conference room and shook hands with everyone one by one.

Before attending the meeting, he had looked over everyone's files.

Although there were discrepancies between the photos and the people themselves, he was still able to match them up.

A bloodstain on the face of a Deputy Bureau Chief of the Safety Supervision Bureau was particularly conspicuous.

Tang Ye asked, "Comrade Wang Jin, what happened to your face?"

Wang Jin immediately complained with a sense of grievance, "Shunteng Development Company is too rampant. Yesterday, we intended to enter the construction site quietly to inspect, but a group of people suddenly rushed out. This scar was from being scratched by someone during the conflict. It's not very serious, just a bit unsightly."

Tang Ye's expression was somber, "Were the people who hit you common citizens, or gangsters?"

A staff member nearby angrily lifted his shirt, revealing a clear bruise on his chest.

"County Magistrate Tang, I was kicked in the chest, and it has been hurting for several days.

You have only just arrived in Yechuan County and are not very familiar with the local situation.

Chen Shunfei, the boss of Shunteng Development Company, has long kept a group of idlers under his command who are usually overbearing and tyrannical.

Relying on their money and backing, they didn't take this operation seriously at all."

Li Yongan did not know about this matter.

He thought to himself, these people are actually quite earnest and responsible in their work.

Some time ago, Li Yongan had demanded that the work group chew on hard bones.

Shunteng Development Company was undoubtedly a hard bone.

As it turned out, they didn't manage to chew the bone, but instead had their front teeth knocked out directly!

Tang Ye actually understood their helplessness; they were not a law enforcement department and only possessed Supervisory Power.

When encountering an enterprise like Shunteng that had backing, they couldn't even get through the door.

Tang Ye said in a deep voice, "The County Party Committee attaches great importance to this major safety production rectification. Next, the work group must take action to conduct public relations targeting enterprises that resist inspection. Additionally, the work group must write a situation report, and the Discipline Inspection Commission will talk to the relevant people. The main focus will be on whether there were any violations such as demanding bribes or gifts, and whether the administrative procedures were legal."

Wang Jin was stunned and said in disbelief, "We carried out our work entirely in accordance with the county's rectification requirements; our procedures were legal, and there was absolutely no behavior of demanding bribes or gifts."

As a dignified Deputy Bureau Chief of the Safety Supervision Bureau, leading a team to work only to be beaten by social idlers, and then having the investigation team also investigate the legality of his actions, made him feel unprecedented humiliation.

At this moment, Li Yongan explained, "The County Party Committee's idea is to turn this case into a typical case, using it as an opportunity to promote the rectification work throughout the county."

Chen Zhihe, the Director of the Safety Supervision Bureau, was very experienced, "To forge iron, one must be strong oneself. Our work processes are absolutely flawless, and our work style can stand the test. We are willing to accept the investigation."

After the meeting ended, several young people from the work group were notified to go to the conference room.

Chen Zhihe explained the situation.

The young people were immediately unhappy.

"We shed sweat, blood, and tears. After getting beaten, we still have to be investigated; this is too dark!"

"Is the county being too excessive? Shunteng Development Company has so many problems, and just because they have backing, they can do whatever they want."

"The new County Magistrate is a softie. We responded to his call and worked our lives away for him, but he doesn't care about us at all."

"You've got it wrong. As far as I know, it was the new County Magistrate's idea to have the Discipline Inspection Commission talk to us."

"I'm also on the verge of a breakdown. The new County Magistrate is too disheartening!"

"It has nothing to do with County Magistrate Tang. I heard that someone made a malicious report and splashed dirty water on us."

"Damn it, Shunteng Development Company is disgusting. I will keep a close eye on them from now on; they better not let me find any dirt on them."

Chen Zhihe slapped the table, and the meeting room finally quieted down.

"The county must have its reasons for arranging it this way. Stop complaining, and just provide truthful feedback when the comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission arrive."

Mao Yu sat in his office and opened a novel.

The author of this novel was very famous.

He picked up a pen and made a mark on one of the pages.

At this moment, the desk phone rang.

Mao Yu took a look and saw it was a call from Chen Shunfei.

"Is there something?"

Chen Shunfei said happily, "I received news that the people who kept coming to the company to cause trouble have been called in for talks by the Discipline Inspection Commission. As expected, County Magistrate Mao still has enough influence!"

Mao Yu said indifferently, "The government has procedures for doing things. If you frequently go to enterprises to find fault, you will definitely be complained about. However, you should also be careful recently. Don't slack off; you need to get a grip on safe construction."

Chen Shunfei hurriedly flattered him, "With you covering for us, no one dares to do anything to us!"

Mao Yu still said cautiously, "There is no need to escalate the conflict. The other side knows you are not to be trifled with; at this time, offer them some benefits and give them a way to step down."

Chen Shunfei thought to himself that Mao Yu was indeed brilliant, "County Magistrate Mao, you are still the brilliant one! However, I still need you to set up the meeting; I don't have that kind of face."

Mao Yu stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, "Wait for my notification!"

After hanging up Chen Shunfei's call, a cold sneer appeared on the corner of Mao Yu's mouth.

He previously thought Tang Ye was very smart, but now he felt that while he might have a talent for rushing political achievements, he still lacked sufficient struggle experience in power games.

At the Standing Committee meeting, he had proposed that the work group was demanding bribes and gifts.

At that time, Tang Ye not only failed to defend them but also proposed to let the Discipline Inspection Commission intervene in the investigation; wasn't this going to dishearten the people below?

At this time, if he stepped in to provide some comfort and benefits, he could easily win these people over.

Once the people below all became his loyal followers, Tang Ye's attempt to push for the major safety production rectification would be directly bypassed, and he would become a puppet.

This campaign would then become a mere show with loud thunder but little rain.

The prestige that Tang Ye had worked so hard to build would also be weakened as a result.

Therefore, when Mao Yu brought this matter up at the County Party Committee Standing Committee, she had made meticulous deployments and arrangements; it was not an impulsive act.

Mao Yu dialed Chen Zhihe's phone number.

"Director Chen, this is Mao Yu."

Chen Zhihe had just finished communicating with the investigation team, and although the investigation team was only going through the motions, he still felt somewhat aggrieved inside.

He knew that he must have become a bargaining chip in the power struggle between two factions at this moment.

How should Chen Zhihe consider responding in order to protect himself?

"Executive Mao, may I ask what instructions you have?"

Mao Yu feigned concern, "I heard that the Discipline Inspection Commission working group has entered the Safety Supervision Bureau, and I would like to understand the situation!"

Chen Zhihe reported calmly, "The working group conducted a detailed investigation into our work processes and also held talks with all members who participated in the major safety production rectification; no issues were found."

Mao Yu took a deep breath, "Director Chen, we have known each other for many years, and I understand your character quite well. This Discipline Inspection Commission investigation is a demand from County Magistrate Tang; I actually do not support it. In addition, I heard that the working group and Shunteng Development Company have some misunderstandings."

"The chairman of Shunteng Development Company, Chen Shunfei, would like to invite you and the members of the working group to a meal to clear up the misunderstandings."

Chen Zhihe was silent for a few seconds, "Executive Mao, let's skip the meal. The Discipline Inspection Commission just finished talking to me, and I am afraid of causing unnecessary trouble."

Mao Yu smiled faintly and said humorously, "You must give me some face! Otherwise, I will be angry! I will send you the address later."
