Chapter 1438

~6 min read 1,059 words

Three days after Liang Chunhua's incident, Ren Guisheng called Xue Xingyuan again. This time, his tone on the phone was quite displeased.

"Comrade Xingyuan, it seems that it has been a long time since we last met, right? Let me tell you, I asked you to consider that matter carefully, but after so long, it seems you haven't taken any action yet."

Listening to Ren Guisheng's somewhat cold words, Xue Xingyuan said, "Mayor, I had already prepared to let them start work, but they acted foolishly themselves. They secretly started work and sold goods. Not only did the sales fail, but they even ran to the construction site of the Changyu Highway to make trouble. Mayor, you know how important this Changyu Highway is to Changshan County..."

Ren Guisheng interrupted Xue Xingyuan's words, "I don't listen to these objective reasons. I just want to see the results. Comrade Xingyuan, I remember you were a decisive person before, acting efficiently and decisively. Why are you so hesitant now?"

Xue Xingyuan said, "Mayor, if I just let them resume work like this? I'm afraid the voices of opposition below won't be small. I have to let them make some actions first, so it's easy for me to speak, right? They are like this now, without any intention of rectification, I..."

Ren Guisheng interrupted Xue Xingyuan's words again, "Alright, alright, I don't want to hear this kind of thing. I'll give you three more days. If this matter still isn't handled well, then Junda's matter might not be handled well by me either."

After speaking, Ren Guisheng hung up the phone directly.

Ren Guisheng doing this is naturally very rude, and as a mayor of a city, he is also very unlevel. A mayor shouldn't speak so bluntly. However, Ren Guisheng is even more self-opinionated than Xue Xingyuan. In front of his subordinates, he doesn't say those twists and turns.

Xue Xingyuan held the receiver for a long time without putting it down. His brows were tightly wrinkled, and he didn't know what he was thinking. His face was uncertain.

Yes, this determination is too difficult to make. Although Xue Xingyuan is domineering, he is still reasonable in such matters. He knows that if he really lets these quarries resume work this time, he will stir up the excellent situation in the county into a mess.

Don't underestimate these quarries. These quarries represent a force in the county, an old force that hinders the county's economic development.

Su Xinghui is a new force that has emerged in Changshan County. He seems to be coming fiercely and has strong aggressiveness, but he is the hope for Changshan County to turn over. Moreover, from the observation during this period, Xue Xingyuan can see that Su Xinghui is indeed a person who does things without any selfishness, which makes Xue Xingyuan's view of Su Xinghui better and better.

Su Xinghui's actions have caused a huge conflict with the interests of those old forces. This is not only a conflict of interests but also a conflict of concepts, which is basically irreconcilable.

This is equivalent to one mountain not being able to accommodate two tigers. These old forces are already stumbling blocks to Changshan County's rise.

The problem is that these old forces have slowly grown under Xue Xingyuan's nose. Although Xue Xingyuan can still order people like Li Bokun, Shi Ronghuai, Zhang Shiqing, Qi Sheng, Fang Ligang, etc., he can feel the ambition hidden under their superficial obedience.

Like the phone call from Ren Guisheng today, it must be that these people went to Ren Guisheng to speak again, so Ren Guisheng made such a phone call. Behind this, there might be some shameful interest collusion.

Although Xue Xingyuan is hard on himself in terms of economy, he knows these dirty transactions very well.

Xue Xingyuan couldn't help but regret whether he had been too indulgent to these subordinates all these years, making their nature change, but their power grew, making Xue Xingyuan unable to control them.

Xue Xingyuan had a sense of powerlessness. He was thinking, was he a bit old?

He wanted to make a decision decisively, for the sake of Changshan County's future, to eradicate these tumors. However, he thought of his son Xue Junda. What should his future be?

Xue Xingyuan was fighting between heaven and man in his heart. After a long time, he put down the receiver. However, just as he put the receiver on the phone, the phone rang abruptly, which startled Xue Xingyuan. He calmed down and answered the phone. His voice became majestic again, "Hello, I am Xue Xingyuan."

A panicked voice came from the phone, "Secretary Xue, I am Wang Zhongfa. Something big happened in our township again."

Xue Xingyuan said, "Wang Zhongfa, don't worry, speak slowly."

Wang Zhongfa calmed down a bit and explained the matter clearly with a fast speaking speed. It turned out that Zuo Yuanzhi's quarry had been secretly starting work these past few days. A few days ago, they only used excavators to dig down the stones loosened by blasting before to sell block stones, and didn't start the production line. But today, they became even worse.

Today they set off a blast and started the production line, which felt a bit unscrupulous. This made Yue Yaohua angry. He brought dozens of young people from the village to the quarry and blocked the quarry's door. He personally led more than a dozen people to smash open the door of the quarry's power distribution room and pulled the switch directly.

Of course, the people in the quarry didn't agree. Liang Chunhua, the deputy captain of the quarry's security team, called two trucks of people with one phone call. As soon as they got off the bus, they started fighting. The two sides were mixed in a battle, and the situation became very serious. Now more than a dozen people have been injured.

The police from the Dashitang Police Station went out after receiving the report, but more and more people participated in the battle, which triggered a large-scale armed fight. The police couldn't control the situation at all. After Wang Zhongfa got the news, he immediately called Xue Xingyuan, but couldn't get through for a long time, so he called Xie Linsheng for help. Xie Linsheng promised to send police immediately.
