Chapter 336: On-site Office

The other town cadres, upon seeing Su Yang, all wore expressions of trepidation. They wanted to explain to Su Yang that it wasn't that they were unwilling to arrive at the first moment, but that Qin Chuan had deliberately delayed them there; otherwise, they would have arrived at least five minutes earlier.

Some of the smarter ones came up to greet Su Yang, "Mayor Su, you've worked hard."

"Mayor Su, you came directly to the scene without fearing the toil; you are a model and example for us to learn from."

"Mayor Su, we rushed and hurried, yet we still didn't make it in time? We just saw some villagers already beginning to evacuate in an orderly manner."

"We knew that with Mayor Su's ability, you would definitely be able to resolve this matter well and would certainly nip the impending conflict in the bud."

Bai Jing, in particular, said, "Mayor Su, when we received the news, we intended to rush over immediately, but Secretary Qin called us into a small, impromptu meeting. He also wanted us to resolve the contradictions among the villagers as quickly as possible after arriving, so he gave us instructions on several important matters."

"Otherwise, we would have arrived earlier; how could we let you handle such a matter here all by yourself?"

"Our town government has forty or fifty people; there are many of us when it comes to eating, but when it comes to doing real work, letting you handle it alone—even as a woman, I feel bad about it."

This was purely applying eye drops to Qin Chuan.

In any case, she had already stood completely on Su Yang's side and didn't care at all what Qin Chuan might think; furthermore, she had never had any good feelings toward Qin Chuan as a person.

If this were just a normal political struggle between Qin Chuan and Su Yang, that would be one thing, but it involved the landing of the town's investment promotion project and concerned the income and livelihood improvements of hundreds of villagers in Shuigua Zhuang.

Qin Chuan not only failed to step out and resolve it at the first opportunity but instead sat there waiting for the matter to blow up. This behavior was something not only she was dissatisfied with; in fact, everyone was dissatisfied.

It is true that the investment promotion project was brought in by you, Qin Chuan, but you didn't take it seriously at all and even wanted to use it to create conflict. Are you not treating all the leading cadres of the Town Party Committee as human beings?

A dark cloud flashed across Qin Chuan's face. The people in the town were becoming more and more excessive; the respect due to him as the top leader had gone from superficial compliance to indifferent disregard, and finally, directly to face-to-face sarcasm.

This made him feel extremely uncomfortable, and it was in front of so many people, too.

But he couldn't lash out, because what they were saying was the truth; there wasn't a single word of exaggeration or fabrication.

To avoid embarrassment, he immediately stepped forward and said to Su Yang, "Mayor Su, you have really worked hard. I also gave them a few instructions to avoid the situation from worsening; we can't let your hard work go to waste."

"By the way, how is the situation now? Are their emotions still that intense? Let's do this, I will go and say a few words to them."

After Qin Chuan finished speaking, without waiting for a response from Su Yang or the others, he walked directly to the temporarily erected platform, picked up the microphone, and said, "I am Qin Chuan, Secretary of the Huatian Town Party Committee. I know you all want to contribute to the village's development and want the Four Seas Biological Pharmaceutical project to land sooner, but everything has its procedures."

"It is true that you have your considerations, but the government also has its arrangements."

"What the government can give you, it will certainly give you; what it cannot give you, you cannot reach out and grab by force."

"Disperse immediately right now. I will discuss with the other leaders in the town and try my best to satisfy your demands, but if you insist on acting recklessly, I don't mind letting the Public Security Bureau people come over."

Just as he finished speaking, Jiang da tou appeared from nowhere and shouted directly, "You all want to turn the sky upside down, right? Disperse for me immediately."

With Jiang da tou stepping forward, the people from the Jiang family and their relatives naturally dispersed, and added to the fact that Chen erzi's relatives and friends had already been scattering one after another, the crowd cleared.

The few people Du lao er had on the scene certainly didn't dare to continue making a scene. In just five or six minutes, the crowd that had been dark and dense just a moment ago was instantly gone, clean and empty.

If this had been seen by a leader, they would certainly have praised Qin Chuan's ability to handle the situation...

Unfortunately, there were no leaders at the scene.

Only then did Qin Chuan turn back into the village committee office and say, "Comrades, I have already dispersed the masses. I think, why don't we let the groundbreaking ceremony proceed as normal?"

"This group of people is truly too excessive. Jiang da tou, the work you and Chen Erzi have done is truly not up to par; you must strengthen your guidance work in the future."

"Such things must not happen again, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

Jiang da tou and Chen Erzi nodded repeatedly, especially Jiang da tou; at this moment, if Qin Chuan hadn't come, he wouldn't have known what to do. With Qin Chuan here, he felt he finally had a backbone.

However, what he didn't expect was that his backbone actually didn't have much say in his own problems.

At this time, he heard Su Yang say, "Please let the comrades from Four Seas Biological Pharmaceutical rest in another office for a while. Let's hold an internal meeting first to discuss today's events. After the meeting, we will give you a satisfactory answer and explanation."

The representative from Four Seas Biological Pharmaceutical was already so embarrassed he wanted to dig a hole to hide in; hearing this was like being granted a reprieve.

Otherwise, if he were really forced to make a decision to say they wouldn't invest here and would withdraw capital immediately, what would he say? Would he say he was just a worker who couldn't make decisions and was just trying to put on a show?

It would be fine to talk to Su Yang alone, but in front of so many leaders of the Huatian Town leadership team, did he still want his face?

After the people from Four Seas Biological Pharmaceutical left, Jiang da tou and Chen Erzi also left with a keen sense of the situation. Su Yang immediately said, "The reason I asked Secretary Qin and you all to come over is mainly to hold an on-site office here and resolve the problems we discovered in a timely manner."

"What I want to emphasize here is the inaction of the Shuigua Zhuang Village Party Secretary and the Village Director. Such problems are clearly caused by them; otherwise, how could such problems appear, and how could they be allowed to intensify and almost lead to conflict?"

Qin Chuan said from the side, "Mayor Su, actually, this cannot be blamed on them. Everyone knows that the villagers of Shuigua Zhuang Village have been poor for too long. They have never seen so much money in their lives. Now that this opportunity has suddenly appeared, they all jumped out, wanting to fight for a little benefit for themselves; this is also a normal reaction of human nature."

"If it were us, it would certainly be the same, so I don't think this is a big problem. Moreover, Jiang da tou has been working conscientiously all these years, trying his best to serve the villagers."

It seems Jiang da tou's money wasn't sent in vain; at this time, Qin Chuan was still thinking about protecting Jiang da tou. Although this mass incident didn't blow up, Jiang da tou had indeed paid a lot.

As soon as he said this, he was seized upon by Su Yang, "Secretary Qin, if according to what you say, then it means Jiang da tou and Chen Erzi do not have enough control over the village. Such people are completely unqualified to serve as Party Secretary and Village Director."

"You all have seen it; this is fat meat fed to them, and they can even spit it out. If you let them rely on themselves, then don't even mention it."

"Keeping such people in these positions is the greatest irresponsibility to the villagers and the greatest irresponsibility to Shuigua Zhuang Village in Huatian Town."

"Therefore, I suggest directly dismissing Jiang da tou as Village Party Secretary, with a town cadre concurrently holding the position for the time being." ===== CHAPTER 337 =====
