Chapter 2082

One day, Su Xinghui was inspecting the construction of the new county government office building in the new district when his mobile phone suddenly rang.

He bought this mobile phone after returning to the county after the Spring Festival; it was a Nokia, neither high-end nor low-end, costing three thousand yuan, which for him was just a few months' salary, so it wouldn't be too conspicuous.

But having this mobile phone was indeed much more convenient; he was often running around outside and didn't spend much time in the office; even with a pager, it wasn't always convenient to return calls; now, if a call came, he could just answer it, and it wouldn't delay his work.

Of course, the only inconvenience was that the phone bill was too high, and he had to pay for both incoming and outgoing calls, at forty or fifty cents per minute; if he left Chongjin County, there were also roaming charges; as a county magistrate with busy affairs, his monthly phone bill was several hundred to over a thousand yuan.

The county did reimburse phone bills for county leaders, but it was impossible to reimburse everything; there were standards, and because of this phone bill, Su Xinghui had at least two or three hundred yuan in extra expenses every month.

In fact, Su Xinghui was not the first county leader to use a mobile phone; many county leaders were using them; the county stipulated that cadres above a certain level had subsidies for buying mobile phones, and part of the phone bills could also be reimbursed; this was also because these county leaders were indeed busy with affairs, and most of their calls were for public business, which was an objective need, so it was normal to subsidize them.

Su Xinghui answered the phone, and Xie Shuchen's voice came from the phone: "Is that Xinghui? It's bad, something big has happened!"

Su Xinghui said: "Shuchen, what happened? Tell me slowly."

Xie Shuchen explained the ins and outs of the matter; it turned out that early this morning, a group of people ran to the gate of the provincial government and unfurled banners with words like "Heartless County Magistrate Embezzles Private Assets" and "Su Xinghui Forcibly Shuts Down Legal Enterprises After Bribe Demands Failed."

These banners were written in a sensational way, pointing directly at Su Xinghui; this group of people also shouted grievances loudly, repeatedly saying that Su Xinghui was corrupt and took bribes, forcing people to shut down, and so on, immediately attracting a large crowd of onlookers.

And the most bizarre thing was that as soon as this group of people appeared and the banners were unfurled, a number of reporters holding cameras and pens and paper immediately arrived to interview this group of people; many of these reporters were from other provinces, and among them, a relatively influential media outlet from Jingcheng also sent reporters.

Xie Shuchen spoke relatively briefly; he said that the province had already taken measures to seal off the scene and had invited this group of people into the provincial government office building for dialogue, and had also invited the group of reporters to the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department; now the situation had been initially brought under control.

As soon as Xie Shuchen mentioned this, Su Xinghui knew that this must be Chen Changqiao making trouble again; with his ability, he couldn't have caused such a big commotion; there must be someone behind the scenes instigating or even planning it, and a nameless fire suddenly rose in his heart.
