Chapter 31: Sinister Means

Li Tian's face was green, red, and white.

His CPU was directly scrapped.

In this conference room, he had always been the one to order others, and no one had ever dared to talk to him.

This also included Party Secretary Qin Chuan.

"This..."

"I had something just now..."

"Where did we just talk about? Continue," Li Tian just wanted to find a lame excuse to explain, but Su Yang interrupted directly.

Not giving any face at all.

Li Tian was directly stiff there. Sitting was not, standing was not, walking was not.

The atmosphere in the conference room was as quiet as it could be, and this silence was mixed with a trace of weirdness.

It was stiff for a full half minute before Publicity Committee Member Bai Jing stood up and said: "Just now we were discussing the bill problem of Niu Cuihua's restaurant."

"The Town Mayor said that if this public-funded eating and drinking of nearly 300,000 was agreed by a leader, letting Director Pan sign the bill, then this leader is responsible."

"If no one authorized it, then it is Director Pan's personal behavior, let Director Pan be responsible for it himself."

"If it cannot be solved at the meeting today, the Town Mayor's meaning is to report the bill to the Discipline Inspection Commission, let the Discipline Inspection Commission investigate..."

"In addition, it was also mentioned that because of personal moral character, Director Pan is no longer suitable for the position of Government Office Director."

"Please Town Mayor Li express your opinion."

As expected of the lubricant for the town government, she has clearly explained the matter while also giving Li Tian a way to step down.

Otherwise, Li Tian's face would have completely fallen to the ground today.

Li Tian then went down the slope and sat in his position, saying with a stiff face: "This is not my meaning, nor is it the meaning of any one leader."

"It is the collective meaning of the Party Committee team."

"It cannot be blamed on any one person... However, whether Pan Yu Hai can be competent as Government Office Director is the Town Mayor's personal decision, no need to go to the Party Committee meeting."

It is Li Tian after all, no one can bear the charge of public-funded eating and drinking.

And he understands Su Yang, saying he would poke it to the Discipline Inspection Commission, it is definitely not scaring people.

The fatal thing is that these all happened before Su Yang came, and have nothing to do with Su Yang.

You are noble, you are great!

You didn't eat but you are messing with everyone?

As for the position of Government Office Director, he didn't care about it anyway.

He had always exercised the Town Mayor's rights, and it was natural to use Pan Yu Hai. Now there is a Town Mayor, he is naturally not in line.

Now that you, Su Yang, want to dismiss, then dismiss. When the time comes, the person Pan Yu Hai resents is you.

"Good, since that's the case, then issue a notice after the meeting to dismiss Pan Yu Hai."

"Regarding the bill, since it is a matter for the Party Committee team, then we shall take collective responsibility. I will not repeat this matter again. Secretary Qin, comrades, do you have any objections?" Su Yang continued, picking up the thread of the conversation.

Qin Chuan thought: Amazing, Xiang Zhuang dances with the sword, aiming at Pei Gong.

You are using the bill matter to talk about things, easily removing the disobedient Office Director.

Speaking of which, it is all this idiot

He said, "Of course I have no objections."

"If anyone here has different opinions, just speak up."

With the Secretary, the Town Mayor, and the Executive Deputy Town Mayor all in agreement, who would dare to say half a word of dissent?

"Since there are no objections, then this matter is settled."

Qin Chuan glanced at the Party Committee members who were focused on their own noses and hearts, and said this.

Then he stopped talking and lowered his head to drink tea.

However, his gaze was fixed on Li Tian. After all, this meeting was proposed by Li Tian, so he surely had something to say.

Sure enough, Li Tian said, "I would like to bring up the issue of the division of labor among our government leadership team."

"Previously, most of the work was on my shoulders. Now that the Town Mayor has arrived, it would be overstepping my authority for me to continue being responsible."

"So I suggest handing back the responsibility for flood and drought prevention, public security, and green funeral reform to the Town Mayor."

"Of course, the Town Mayor is originally responsible for the overall work."

"If there are any objections, everyone can raise their hands to vote."

Su Yang sneered inwardly; this was truly turning the world upside down.

Theoretically, shouldn't the division of labor be arranged by him, the Town Mayor, for the other deputy town mayors?

Now it was actually Li Tian arranging it for him, and in a Party Committee meeting at that.

Suddenly he thought of something: there would be heavy rain in the next two days, which would lead to flash floods and mudslides.

And this irresistible disaster would happen tonight.

It seems Li Tian also knew about this through Jin Zhe or the Meteorological Bureau, but they could never dream it would be this serious.

Now they were setting the person responsible in advance, so if any accident happened, he would be the one to take the blame.

"As the Town Mayor, I am responsible for the overall work, which is beyond reproach."

"I personally agree."

Su Yang did not wait for others to speak and agreed directly.

Because he knew clearly that Li Tian would definitely take the government division of labor to the Party Committee for a show of hands.

Such a thing that does not conform to the rules would absolutely not happen, and could not happen, elsewhere.

But in Huatian Town, as long as it was brought to the Party Committee, and as long as it was something Li Tian wanted to do, then nothing was impossible.

But no one knew that the reason Su Yang agreed to this was because after the flash floods and mudslides broke out, the daughter of a provincial committee bigwig, currently a division chief in the Civil Affairs Department, happened to be in the disaster area, Huatian Village, conducting a secret inspection on the implementation of relief subsidies.

That night, she was staying at a villager's house, and as a result, the flash flood and mudslide broke out together, and she was swept away in the end.

It was precisely because of this that the provincial committee leaders were extremely furious, to the point that both the city and county levels received severe disciplinary actions, and the entire leadership team of Huatian Town was dismissed.

Some even took the blame for this and went to eat prison food.

He was isolated and helpless in Jincheng County, and even in Lancheng City; he had to seize this opportunity.

Seeing Su Yang agree so readily, Li Tian was extremely pleased inwardly.

Hmph, the scapegoat has been perfectly arranged. When the time comes, I won't even give you time to cry.

Flash floods are bound to happen in Huatian Town every year; although the higher-ups allocated funds, they had long since misappropriated them.

Therefore, they let it run rampant.

Yesterday, I heard from the County Meteorological Bureau that this year's rainstorm would be fiercer than in previous years, and it was highly likely that flash floods would occur.

As long as a flash flood breaks out and lives are lost, then Su Yang, this Town Mayor, should go back to wherever he came from to cool off.

By then, the position of Town Mayor would still be his.

"Since that's the case, I have nothing else. Meeting adjourned."

After Li Tian finished speaking, he was the first to walk out of the conference room.

What he lost at the start, he would take back at the end.

The others were also accustomed to it; after Qin Chuan and Su Yang went out, they walked out one by one.

"Xiao Zhou, prepare yourself, the two of us are going to the village for a walk."

"Bring raincoats."

Su Yang said to Zhou Tai after leaving the conference room.
