Chapter 163

If the initiative for handling this matter were handed over to Ji Tao, and he were to make a big issue out of it, it would likely implicate Tao Yan. At that time, Shan Guozhi and Tao Yan would be too passive.

After calling Zheng Jianan and telling him that he, Secretary Ji, and County Magistrate Zhang were waiting at the County Party Committee guesthouse for the investigation results, Shan Guozhi hung up the phone and looked at Ji Tao. His intention was to see if Ji Tao approved of his handling method.

Ji Tao nodded, indicating that he was relatively satisfied with Shan Guozhi's handling. This made Shan Guozhi feel slightly relieved. Regardless of what purpose Ji Tao and Zhang Kaishan had today, it was enough that they could refrain from making a big issue out of this. He felt that this might be because Ji Tao still wanted to maintain a low profile.

Shan Guozhi said, "Where are the comrades from the Jiangnan District Crafts Store? Let's go visit them!"

Ji Tao nodded, and together with Zhang Kaishan, he took Shan Guozhi to the room next door. At this time, Lu Xiaoya, Su Xinghui, and the others had already avoided the scene; only Deputy Manager Li and the three drivers were in the room next door.

Zhang Kaishan introduced Deputy Manager Li's identity to Shan Guozhi. Shan Guozhi said, "Manager Li, I'm sorry. This matter might be a misunderstanding. I have already asked the comrades from the Public Security Bureau to investigate this matter. We will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

Deputy Manager Li put on an air and said, "Regarding today's matter, I have already reported it to our Manager Song. Our Manager Song said that if your county cannot handle this matter well, she will report it to the provincial leaders."

Shan Guozhi had thought Deputy Manager Li was bluffing, but they were from the provincial capital, after all; who knew if they might have some connections? Since he wanted to calm this matter down now, he naturally would not offend people with his words casually. He followed Deputy Manager Li's words and said, "Please tell Manager Song, and please ask Manager Song to rest assured. Let's not disturb the provincial leaders. Our county will definitely handle this matter well." ===== CHAPTER 165 =====
