Chapter 696

Peng Taiping naturally wouldn't be impulsive just because of these few people's provocation, but it was impossible for him to have no reaction at all. After all, he had always been the leader of the local cadres, and he relied on this to maintain his prestige. If he really did nothing, his prestige would be gone.

Peng Taiping drank another glass of liquor with Zhang Lihui and said, "Regarding this matter, we shouldn't confront Su Xinghui hard. After all, he is standing on the high ground of righteousness. No matter where you go, he has the point. Asking enterprises to reimburse expenses is always something that can't be put on the table."

Zhang Lihui said, "Then just let him be arrogant and domineering in our Pengjiawan Town, bullying us locals?"

Peng Taiping laughed sinisterly, "How can there be such a simple matter? Are you all so stupid? You tell the people below not to cooperate with Su Xinghui's work. No matter what work Su Xinghui arranges, drag it out. No matter how capable he is, he is still just one person, not someone with three heads and six arms. If he can't carry out his work here, how long can he stay?"

Tong Yuejin nodded, "Secretary Peng is still the best. This method is good. Recently, the one surnamed Su has arranged quite a lot of work. We won't cooperate with him. Let's see what he does."

Zhang Lihui hesitated, "Then what about the water conservancy work I'm in charge of? This flood prevention and disaster relief is a big deal. If something happens, it will be a big problem."

Tong Yuejin said, "What problem can there be? Nothing has happened in the past few years, and the dry embankment was rebuilt this year. Even if you don't cooperate with him, nothing will happen. Isn't the one surnamed Su capable? Let him go to the dry embankment to carry sandbags himself!"

Peng Taiping poured himself a glass of liquor, took a small sip, and was noncommittal about this question.

Tong Yuejin said, "Also, as long as those people who ran away aren't caught back, the pressure on the one surnamed Su will only get bigger and bigger. If things go wrong, the county will directly recall him. Once he leaves, we will be liberated."

Everyone nodded in agreement. The incident of storming the town government put too much pressure on the county. For them, the local cadres, the pressure wasn't particularly great. After all, this happened after the county replaced the top two leaders of Pengjiawan, and they had always said it was because Qi Jian and Hong Shilin pressured the common people too much that such a thing happened.

The county letting Su Xinghui come here was clearly to let him stabilize the situation in Pengjiawan. If Su Xinghui couldn't stabilize the situation for a long time, the pressure the county received would also get bigger and bigger. This kind of pressure would eventually be transmitted to Su Xinghui.

Peng Taiping said, "It's not that easy for them to catch people back. Those people don't even know where they ran to. Some might have even run to other provinces. Where are they going to catch them?"
