Chapter 762

Jiao Qiang immediately sweated profusely, his voice began to tremble: "County Magistrate Su, give me one chance, I will definitely serve you well, and from now on I will follow your orders!"

Su Yang said sternly: "Shut up! It's not about serving me; we are all cadres trained by the Party and the government, don't give me this!"

"I just want to ask you, can you hold steady at the winery? Of course, it doesn't need to be too long—at least guarantee no problems for a month."

Jiao Qiang hurriedly said: "Yes yes yes! Can can! I will report the county's policies to them and publicize them thoroughly!"

"They actually already had a layoff plan beforehand; it's just that this situation blew up too fast, entirely because of Geng Miao."

"Besides, Geng Miao is really vicious; he originally planned to have people sabotage the agricultural trade market that was about to open, but I took care of those people!"

"As for the overall situation in the county, if the winery workers are given hope of future employment, they should thank the Party and thank the government."

"Especially those mid-level cadres, speaking bluntly, their previous work could be described as doing nothing."

Su Yang interrupted: "Enough, no need to tell me all this; as long as you can handle this matter, that's fine!"

"Also, let the other comrades know that these days my work is indeed busy; for now, don't come in groups to report work—just get your own work done."

Jiao Qiang's problems were actually serious too, but before the incident he had already returned all the illicit money and goods to the Discipline Inspection Commission. It was precisely this move that saved him; otherwise, even if the special task force didn't name him, Su Yang would have kindly reminded him.

The vast majority of cadres who voluntarily returned illicit gains when they learned the Discipline Inspection Commission would launch a thorough investigation were hardly affected this time. Those who were obstinate, thinking they had county leaders as backing and that they had connections with Geng Miao, basically all went to drink tea.

Su Yang wasn't idle either; after work he again invited the little witch Liu Zixuan out for dinner.

"As for the agricultural market matter, no one would dare to cause trouble; I've already handled all the procedures that needed to be done in the county, so you just need to operate normally."

"Besides, I want to ask you: do you know any friends in the white liquor business?"

Liu Zixuan's eyes rolled and she understood Su Yang's plan: "In your godforsaken Lieshan Xian, do you think those winery enterprises would even look at it? Moreover, the reputation of Twin Ditch Large Koji Winery hasn't been that good out there lately—who would be willing to take on this Messy Situation?"

Besides, the conditions here aren't that convenient either—no expressway, only national roads for coming and going. Wanting to develop and bring enterprises here is basically courting death! Especially since this kind of enterprise differs from our daily goods trade; it needs to produce goods for external sale.

Su Yang said: "Building an expressway isn't that easy. Moreover, the Twin Ditch Large Koji Winery has been operating for years on national roads, hasn't it? It used to run normally; what's so difficult now? The point is having enterprises willing to invest in our Lieshan Xian to produce high-quality white liquor; as for the rest, we can gradually improve."

Liu Zixuan said: "Following your suggestion isn't impossible, but are you rushing into this work too much, overstepping your bounds? Shouldn't we wait for the newly appointed Secretary and County Magistrate to resolve it?"

If you handle these things well, no one will praise you; if you mess up, the whole county will stab you in the back! Moreover, if things turn out just so-so, once the Secretary and County Magistrate take office, they might just pluck this fruit from you! Working for others' benefit—can you stomach that?

Su Yang had already thought of this; he said: "Others have plucked the fruit before, not just once or twice. Everything I do is for the Common People. Forget it—I won't boast here, otherwise you'll criticize me again. In short, do you know anyone in this field?"

Liu Zixuan said: "I know what you mean—you want me to find suitable people from Jingcheng to come invest here. But this Messy Situation truly has few people willing to take it on; it's not a sure-profit deal, and given your current rank, not many people are willing to invest in you."

Don't look at them as if they're simple-minded day-to-day; they're actually very sharp! When they were at the Jingcheng club, they valued family background.

For example, back then you were Governor Zhou's prospective son-in-law, and Jia Guolong's status goes without saying! So everyone targeted Jia Guolong to step on you there; of course, you later turned the tables and slapped them back! But that doesn't make them think you can represent the Zhou Family, so investment can only be in you personally.

Especially in a place like Lieshan Xian, if you lack the ability to toil here for half a lifetime, then their investment would be wasted! If you have the ability to work a couple of years and then move elsewhere, what would they do with their enterprise left here?

I say, why aren't you paying attention to what the special task force is doing? Now that so many people have gone in for tea, you should be concerned about whether your former colleagues have confessed everything, how long they'll likely stay inside, how many positions can be filled from above, and how many of your people in the county can be promoted.

Su Yang laughed: "It seems you still understand Within the System fairly well, but the matter of my old colleagues is naturally handled by the special task force; I don't need to stick my nose in to see the outcome! If nothing unexpected happens, results will come out in about ten days to half a month; then we'll just wait and see."

As for the investment you mentioned, that just shows these people lack vision—people like me, they don't do political investment, so they're simply blind! Alright, let's not talk about this anymore; let's eat and drink. I want to serve you, my sole investor, well first; as for the rest, I'll think of something.

Liu Zixuan said: "Actually, it's not that there's no one to choose—Tian Xiaofei, for example. I only found out this afternoon that Bright Moon Star and Geng Miao went to see Tian Xiaofei a few days ago; I guess Tian Xiaofei gave them a big pie, so he's definitely involved in this matter. Taking this opportunity, let him also shed some blood!"

Liu Zixuan was just speaking offhand, but Su Yang suddenly understood why the Audit Bureau personnel and the public security bureau staff who came down then were withdrawn; why Geng Miao was released so quickly—it turns out this guy had been putting in effort behind the scenes! Moreover, he actually admired Geng Miao for using his lover as bait! In that case, this matter really can't be separated from him.

While he was thinking that, Liu Zixuan already pulled out his phone from his pocket and said: "Like this, I'll give him a call directly, you two can chat! His situation isn't great right now—maybe if you scare him a bit, you'll figure out a way to solve this problem for yourself."

Su Yang didn't even think that the last incident had blown up so much, with public opinion fermenting to the point of being uncontainable; in the end, wasn't it just a pat on the back and leaving? But at this moment, Liu Zixuan had already gotten through on the phone.
