Chapter 452

Su Yang smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Zhou."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a click on the other side and the phone was hung up.

Su Yang leaned against the head of the bed and smoked a cigarette. After pondering for a while, he went to Wei Xiaohai's office.

When he pushed the door and went in, Wei Xiaohai was still lying on the table filling out those forms.

Seeing Su Yang come in, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Hello, Director Su."

Su Yang said, "Sit down, don't be so restrained. I'm just here to chat with you. Don't worry about these forms for now. It seems you are the only one in the whole township who is working seriously. I want to talk to you about the work in your township."

Su Yang chatted for a whole morning. He obtained a lot of useful information from Wei Xiaohai. The most important point was that Shuishui Township had a primeval forest, and the climate was pleasant, making it a good place to escape the heat.

This made Su Yang very pleasantly surprised. Apart from the natural forest, there were no usable resources in the entire Shuishui Township. He felt it was unreliable to let these people engage in planting and breeding because they weren't that diligent at all.

If they were a little more diligent, they wouldn't be so poor.

But if there were natural resources that could be transformed, that would be another matter.

However, immediately after, he thought of another problem: the energy, financial resources, material resources, and manpower required to build a scenic area were not as simple as creating a specialty economy.

Of course, this was just a thought in his heart for now. Even if he wanted to build this project, he would have to investigate it first, and then do it after officially taking over as the Town Party Committee Secretary.

After finishing the meal with Wei Xiaohai, Su Yang suddenly said, "Little Wei, do you want to be seconded to the Poverty Alleviation Office? Otherwise, I see you are the only one in the whole township who is working."

"And for these works accumulated over the years, if you fill them all in, it will probably take a few months."

With your diligence, the Poverty Alleviation Office has opportunities for you to display your talents, and after you go to the Poverty Alleviation Office, it will also be helpful for your future."

"To put it simply, if you want to climb up in the township and become a section chief or something, it will probably be difficult without three to five years."

"But if you are seconded to the Poverty Alleviation Office above for a year or a year and a half and then come down logically, at the very least you will be an office director."

Hearing this, Wei Xiaohai immediately became excited. He was sent to Shuishui Township just because he had no connections and no back door. To be honest, who would want to come to this kind of place after just graduating from university?

Only he, who was forcibly sent here by others, would come.

He dreamed of returning to the county seat. To put it bluntly, if he keeps working in this place, he might not even be able to find a partner in the future.

Unless he finds a girl from a local farmer's family, but he is not reconciled to that.

"Okay, thank you, Director Su. I will definitely work twice as hard and perform well by then."

Su Yang patted Wei Xiaohai on the shoulder and said, "It's all for the organization, it's all to serve the people, don't be so excited."

The reason Su Yang talked to Wei Xiaohai was, on one hand, he indeed needed a township government cadre who was familiar with the local situation. On the other hand, Wei Xiaohai was indeed diligent and hardworking enough.

If such a person was always kept in Shuishui Township and always kept at the bottom, he might be ruined in this place for the rest of his life.

Of course, he also had a deeper consideration: if he only let Wei Xiaohai help him do things as the Director of the Poverty Alleviation Office, even if Wei Xiaohai had this intention, he wouldn't dare to put in 100% effort, because Cui Mingjiu was the one who had the final say in Shuishui Township.

If Wei Xiaohai really kept following Su Yang's butt, by the time Su Yang left, Wei Xiaohai wouldn't be able to finish wearing all the small shoes (trouble) given to him.

Coming out of Wei Xiaohai's place and just returning to his office, he saw a man in a police uniform already waiting for him at the door.

"Ah, you are Director Xiang of the Shuishui Police Station?"

The man in the police uniform said, "Xiang Donglai, Director of the Shuishui Police Station, reporting to Director Su under orders. Please give instructions, Director Su."

Su Yang was stunned. When could he, a director of this level, order a police station director?

"Director Xiang, don't be so formal. Besides, I haven't reached the level where I can give you instructions. I'm already very grateful that you can come to help. Hurry into the office and talk."

Xiang Donglai gave a salute: "This is what I should do."

Su Yang poured a cup of tea, gave Xiang Donglai a cigarette, and then began to talk about the main business. "Director Xiang, I encountered a situation here, specifically in Shuishui Village..."

Then he explained in detail what happened this morning.

Xiang Donglai said, "The shifty-eyed man you saw is probably Ma Ergui. This person has never been a good thing. There is nothing he hasn't done, from kicking a widow's door to digging up a family's grave. No one in the ten miles and eight villages doesn't know this."

"Regarding the situation you mentioned, I dare to assert that they planned it beforehand."

"The two brothers Liu Da and Liu Er do indeed have problems with their intellectual development, at most having the intelligence of an eight or nine-year-old child. But a person with the intelligence of an eight or nine-year-old, even if he is a man, couldn't possibly rush up and do those hugging and holding actions as soon as he sees a strange woman."

"As for the other villagers, they were most likely fooled by them."

"I will take the two of them to the police station now. Of course, it's not easy to take them in broad daylight. I will choose to take them to the police station at night."

"For people with the mentality of a child, after scaring them, they will say everything."

"As for the shifty-eyed Ma Ergui, I am prepared to have someone go and bring him over now."

"Although he has a way of spreading rumors and inciting the masses in the village, as long as we get him in, he will confess in minutes."

Su Yang first expressed his gratitude and then said, "No need, no need. This matter is not urgent in these one or two days. If we arrest them immediately and clarify the matter now, it will instead alert the enemy."

"I think you can also guess, if this matter is organized, then who is the person behind it? As long as we make a move like this, he will definitely clear himself completely. I think we shouldn't move for the time being, keep an eye on the people first, and I will tell you when the opportunity is appropriate."

Xiang Donglai said, "Okay, okay, no problem. But you have to tell me in advance, because the police station here is a small police station with only a few people, so we need to arrange it in advance."

Su Yang said, "Okay, I know. I estimate it will be this weekend or next week."

"By the way, I heard that you have a natural forest in Shuishui Village here. Are there still people in the forest protection team now?"

"And is it true that there is a forest protection team composed of one policeman, one joint defense team member, and several old people guarding the mountain?"

Xiang Donglai said, "Yes, Director Su knows about this too? The place in Shuishui Mountain is quite good. The vegetation on the mountain is dense, and there is a stream at the foot of the mountain that flows all year round. It's quite good to go there to cool off in the summer and sometimes camp."

"It's just a little far. It's still twenty or thirty kilometers away from Shuishui Village. But if a straight road were built there, it would only be about 5 kilometers."

"But it would be more troublesome to build a few tunnels. Of course, I'm just saying it. You also know the situation in our Shuishui Township. We can't even get enough to eat, so who has the patience to think about building roads and camping?"

But Su Yang became interested as soon as he heard this.
