Chapter 1443

Ling Anguo arrived quickly. A few minutes later, he arrived and entered Xue Xingyuan's study. Xue Xingyuan's wife brewed a cup of tea for him as well.

Ling Anguo said, "Secretary, the Public Security Bureau has finished screening everyone. The villagers indeed did not strike first; it was the people Liang Chunhua called who struck first, and the villagers only fought back. The comrades from the Public Security Bureau criticized and educated them, then let them go."

Xue Xingyuan nodded; he was quite satisfied with this result.

Ling Anguo said, "As for those thugs, that counts as picking quarrels and provoking trouble. After interrogation, they will be dealt with accordingly. As for those quarries, I have already made it clear to the leaders of the relevant departments: those that have not been rectified beyond the deadline or whose rectification does not meet requirements will be shut down uniformly."

Xue Xingyuan nodded and said, "Good, shut down all those that should be shut down."

Ling Anguo said, "This time I gave them a strict order. Three days later, we will organize an investigation team to investigate each quarry. If those that should be shut down are not, we will hold them accountable."

Xue Xingyuan said, "County Magistrate, I support you. When the time comes, hold those accountable who should be held accountable, dismiss those who should be dismissed, and investigate those who should be investigated."

Xue Xingyuan knew what Ling Anguo meant. Among the leaders of these relevant departments, there were those who had conflicts of interest with these quarries. The fact that these quarries dared to defy the wind and commit crimes this time was related to these people's lack of supervision. Therefore, this time, they must be determined to push this measure through, even if it meant dismissing and investigating them.

Ling Anguo said, "Once these quarries that should be shut down are closed, we will let a few state-owned quarries expand their production scale and strictly regulate production according to safety production and labor protection standards. The output of these quarries should be enough for the construction of the whole county."

Xue Xingyuan said, "You can arrange these matters."

Ling Anguo smiled and said, "Secretary, I saw that your wife was very happy just now. Is there some good news in the family?"

Xue Xingyuan smiled and said, "This is indeed good news. Junda is transferring to the General Office of the Provincial Government, and his girlfriend has also agreed to get their marriage certificate with him."

Ling Anguo said, "Really? Then congratulations, Secretary Xue. This matter has been a knot in your heart for a long time."

Xue Xingyuan sighed, "It's a pity that I don't even know who helped me with this, and I don't know who to thank."

Ling Anguo said, "I might actually know who that person is."

Xue Xingyuan asked in surprise, "You know who it is?"

Ling Anguo nodded and said, "Yes, if I'm not mistaken, this person should be Su Xinghui."

Xue Xingyuan said in astonishment, "You say it's Su Xinghui? But what reason would he have to help me with such a big favor?"

Ling Anguo said, "That time I was having a heart-to-heart talk with him, he asked me if you, Secretary Xue, had any hidden difficulties. I told him about the work situation of your younger son and daughter, saying you were worried about these things. He said he might be able to help."

Xue Xingyuan understood immediately. This must be because he had appeared indecisive regarding the quarry issue, so Ling Anguo had told Su Xinghui about his difficulties. Su Xinghui helping him resolve this matter was, in a sense, helping him remove a future worry so he could make up his mind to rectify the quarries.

Xue Xingyuan sighed in his heart. He hadn't expected that Su Xinghui, at such a young age, would have such a broad mind. He had had conflicts with him, yet Su Xinghui had not held a grudge at all. He had helped him with such a major matter without saying a word, all for the sake of improving the work in Changshan County.

Looking at Ren Guisheng, as a city mayor, his breadth of mind was nowhere near that of a young man like Su Xinghui. From this one incident alone, Xue Xingyuan could see that Su Xinghui had a boundless future.

Xue Xingyuan said, "In that case, I must thank Little Su."

Ling Anguo said, "The Secretary is right. Such a major event is indeed worth thanking him for."

Just as Xue Xingyuan was talking to Ling Anguo, Ren Guisheng was going crazy in his office.

Xue Junda had received the transfer order, and Ren Guisheng naturally knew about it. Xue Junda was transferring to the General Office of the Provincial Government. Unlike Xue Xingyuan, who didn't understand who had helped him, Ren Guisheng thought immediately that this was Su Xinghui operating behind the scenes.

Why would Su Xinghui help Xue Xingyuan? Ren Guisheng didn't think the reason was very complicated. He believed that Su Xinghui must have reached an agreement with Xue Xingyuan, helping Xue Junda transfer in exchange for Xue Xingyuan's support in his work.

Xue Junda had transferred, which meant that a hostage Ren Guisheng held was gone. Previously, when Xue Junda was under his command, he had to ask Ren Guisheng to transfer to the provincial capital. Ren Guisheng could completely use this to manipulate Xue Xingyuan, making him have to obey his orders, whether reasonable or unreasonable.

But now that Xue Junda had transferred, how could Ren Guisheng make Xue Xingyuan obey his unreasonable orders?

Ren Guisheng had already heard that Xue Xingyuan had rushed to Dashishan Township this morning and announced on the spot that he would shut down those non-compliant quarries. At the time, he didn't understand why Xue Xingyuan had such confidence. Now he knew: it turned out that Xue Xingyuan already knew Xue Junda was transferring to the General Office of the Provincial Government at that time.

Ren Guisheng didn't expect that, in fact, Xue Xingyuan didn't know this news at that time. He knew this news even later than Ren Guisheng. At that time, Xue Xingyuan made up his mind not because of this news; he had already prepared for Xue Junda to resign.

Ren Guisheng himself was a selfish person, so he certainly wouldn't think there were people like Su Xinghui in this world who, without being sure of gaining any benefit, would silently help Xue Junda handle his transfer. This was something Ren Guisheng couldn't imagine.

Ren Guisheng could feel that this time Xue Xingyuan had made up his mind. It seemed that those quarries in Changshan County couldn't be saved. Those people had promised him benefits, saying how many shares he would get if the quarries were saved, but now it had all gone down the drain. How could Ren Guisheng not go crazy?

Xue Xingyuan had done this, and Ren Guisheng really felt a bit helpless. After all, this was Changshan County's own affair, and their act of shutting down these quarries had policy grounds and was completely reasonable and legal. Even if the Yulin Municipal Government was a superior government, they couldn't order them to let these quarries resume work.

Moreover, Ren Guisheng couldn't cover the sky with one hand in the Yulin Municipal Government. Every time he called Xue Xingyuan, it was in a personal capacity, a personal act, and could not represent the meaning of the Yulin Municipal Government.

And Xue Junda had been transferred to work in the General Office of the Provincial Government; Ren Guisheng couldn't stop it either. On what grounds could he stop a provincial government transfer order? He didn't have the ability to stop it either. This gave Ren Guisheng a sense of powerlessness. This feeling was truly too bad for him.

While Ren Guisheng was going crazy, Shi Ronghuai was also feeling very depressed at home because his wife was pestering him endlessly.

This was because Liang Chunhua had been arrested by the Public Security Bureau. Although he had been injured, it was only a minor flesh wound. After an examination, there was nothing wrong, and he was taken back to the Public Security Bureau after being bandaged. This time, he was the mastermind and main participant in this incident, so he had to bear the heaviest responsibility.

Liang Chunhua was the nephew of Shi Ronghuai's wife, Yuan Sumei. Yuan Sumei's sister, Yuan Lamei, had only this one seedling, Liang Chunhua. Now that he had been arrested, Yuan Lamei begged Yuan Sumei. Yuan Sumei also felt sorry for her nephew, so she asked Shi Ronghuai to get him out.

Shi Ronghuai was already annoyed, so he roared at Yuan Sumei, "It's all the trouble caused by your good nephew. Now the trouble is big, and I have no way to get him out. Let him spend a few years in jail."

When Yuan Sumei heard that Liang Chunhua was going to spend a few years in jail, she was terrified. She pestered Shi Ronghuai endlessly, insisting that he help. This made Shi Ronghuai extremely irritable. In a fit of anger, he slapped Yuan Sumei. This poked a hornet's nest, and Yuan Sumei started fighting with him at home.

For a time, the Shi family was in chaos and extremely lively.
