Wandering the Heavens

Chapter 274 In the Name of People 6

"Mayor Liancheng District, do you think the Dafeng Factory can still be preserved?" Zhao Donglai couldn't wait to ask Yu Xian as soon as he caught up with him, even changing his address.

"Director Donglai, whether to demolish or not is not up to you and me to decide. Let's evacuate the people and sort out a safe passage first! No matter whether it is the people of Guangming District or their interests, I, as the district chief, have had no say from beginning to end. I am very ashamed!" Yu Xian sighed.

"It all depends on people!"

Having said that, Zhao Donglai didn't know what to say.

"Director Donglai, has anyone ever said that you look like Wu Dutou in Water Margin?" Yu Xian suddenly said this inexplicably.

"Yes! They also said that I was the county police chief in my previous life, and I was promoted to city police chief in this life!" Zhao Donglai also started joking.

The atmosphere tonight was too depressing, so they had to make a joke to lighten the mood, or else they would go crazy. After laughing, the two of them got to work.

After more than two hours of hard work, all those who came to watch the fun and those who wanted to take advantage of the situation were persuaded to leave, and the safe passage was finally cleared and cordoned off.

On the demolition side, Chen Yanshi saw that he could not stop Li Dakang and Qi Tongwei, so he called Gao Yuliang on the spot and said that he would report the matter to Sha Ruijin.

Because it was too late, Sha Ruijin was not contacted. However, Li Dakang sensed from Chen Yanshi's tone that their relationship was not simple. In addition to Yu Xian's previous words, he ordered a suspension. So Chen Yanshi led the workers of Dafeng Factory and the demolition team to a stalemate. Chen Yanshi even sat in front of the bulldozer.

Yu Xian finally relaxed and arranged for the staff to bring more than a dozen boxes of charcoal and charcoal basins, and after the fire was built, they were sent to Chen Yanshi and the workers for them to keep warm. It was the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year would come in a few days. If I got sick, I would not be able to celebrate the whole year.

In order to ensure safety and prevent fire, the workers were asked to form circles around a fire in an open area three meters away from the gasoline-doused construction site.

"Xiao Sun! If you were always like this, Dafeng Factory wouldn't be in this situation today." Chen Yanshi said meaningfully as he looked at Yu Xian who was adding charcoal to the charcoal basin.

"Mr. Chen, you know that after Ding Yizhen came, I, the district chief, became a mascot and had no say. Otherwise, when you reported the problems of Dafeng Factory to various departments over the years, you would not only be talking about Ding Yizhen, but also me, Sun Liancheng." Yu Xian acknowledged what he said.

"You're lucky. Li Dakang hasn't even heard about it yet that he has been sidelined!" Chen Yanshi said to Li Dakang who was standing in the distance.

"Mr. Chen, what you said is wrong. All officials in Handong have heard about Secretary Li's personality and style of doing things. Whoever dares to undermine him must be dead."

Yu Xian's seemingly teasing words made Chen Yanshi's face freeze suddenly.

How could a person who acts so overbearingly and is so sensitive to power be deceived by his subordinates? Chen Yanshi said that he wrote letters and made phone calls to Li Dakang, but Li Dakang did not receive or see them. The huge secretariat of the municipal party committee is just there to do nothing, so how could it not fall into Li Dakang's hands?

Ding Yizhen was only the deputy mayor and could not interfere with the work of the municipal party committee office. There was only one explanation: Chen Yanshi's calls and letters to Li Dakang were intercepted by Secretary Jin. And Li Dakang was not unaware of this, because after that, Li Dakang did not investigate the interception of calls and letters. Secretary Jin was always by his side and just said that these things were done by Ding Yizhen and then lightly covered it up.

Thinking of this, Chen Yanshi's face turned ugly. Who would have the courage to undermine or deceive Li Dakang, unless he pretended not to know.

"This Sun Liancheng is quite capable!"

Li Dakang sighed as he watched Yu Xian add charcoal to the charcoal basin in front of Chen Yanshi. Why did he suddenly feel a chill on his back? It must be because he gave the coat to Chen Yanshi and saw the workers of Dafeng Factory warming themselves by the fire. This was the only explanation Li Dakang could give.

After a long night, Chen Yanshi looked at the mess on the field somewhat listlessly. Although it was dawn, the clouds in the sky showed no sign of dispersing and the sun was still nowhere in sight.

At Yantai Hotel, Sha Ruijin's biological clock is very good. He wakes up on time at eight o'clock every day to wash up and have breakfast. While he is having breakfast, Secretary Bai reported to him the accident that occurred during the demolition of Dafeng Factory last night and the request of Chen Yanshi, the former director of Handong Provincial Procuratorate, to contact him to explain the situation through Gao Yuliang, the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Sha Ruijin asked, putting down his chopsticks.

"Secretary Sha, you must have been tired after a whole day of inspection yesterday. You finally got a rest, so I didn't want to disturb you." Secretary Bai didn't expect Sha Ruijin to react so strongly.

"No matter how big or small the mass incidents are, let alone this kind of mass incident, has the on-site situation report been made?" Sha Ruijin stopped there and did not pursue the matter further.

"According to statistics, two people suffered severe burns and 38 people suffered mild burns of varying degrees. They are currently being properly treated in major hospitals in Jingzhou. The standoff at the scene is still going on." Secretary Bai briefly explained the report sent by the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee Office.

"End the inspection immediately and return to Jingzhou right away!" Upon hearing this situation, Sha Ruijin had no choice but to end the inspection early.

"I'll arrange it right away!" Secretary Bai immediately stood up and prepared to notify everyone.

"Wait a moment, I'll contact Li Dakang first, give me the phone!" Sha Ruijin didn't stop him.

Secretary Bai took out his cell phone, found Li Dakang's number, dialed it and handed it to Sha Ruijin. Sha Ruijin took it, took a look and confirmed that the call was connected. He immediately stood up and walked to the window to wait for Li Dakang to answer.

When the call was connected, the two exchanged some official words. Sha Ruijin praised Chen Yanshi, and then instructed Li Dakang to stop the demolition of the Dafeng Factory and wait for the follow-up investigation to be clear and the burned workers to be properly handled before proceeding to the next step. He also said that he would return to Jingzhou immediately. Before that, the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee must hold a press conference on the incident last night to respond to the concerns of all sectors of society.

At the same time, he said that Chen Yanshi was very old and he must be taken care of. After instructing Li Dakang, Sha Ruijin asked him to give the phone to Chen Yanshi, and he wanted to talk to him.

Li Dakang was very surprised. It was true that Chen Yanshi had a lot of experience, but it shouldn't be that important to Sha Ruijin. It wasn't until Chen Yanshi took the phone and called out "Little Jinzi" that he suddenly realized what was going on. In less than a minute, the micro-expressions on his face changed several times.

Chen Yanshi and Sha Ruijin didn't talk for long. After a few words, they hung up and returned the phone to Li Dakang. After Li Dakang received it, he took Chen Yanshi to the workers of Dafeng Factory with a smile on his face and said this and that. After praising him, he said that Sha Ruijin had instructed that Dafeng Factory should not be demolished before the equity dispute and workers' resettlement were resolved.

Chen Yanshi also stood up and asked everyone to go home and rest, after all, they had been sitting in the cold wind all night.

The matter seemed to be resolved happily. Li Dakang expressed his intention to resolve the workers' rights and interests, and the workers believed him. The fire truck was able to enter the site to clear the gasoline in the gasoline depot.

Yu Xian began to feel uneasy. He called the director of the Finance Bureau in the car and asked him to hand over the fund book on the account to him so that Li Dakang would not be at a loss when it came time to make the assignment.

According to the current situation, in order to appease the Dafeng Factory incident as soon as possible and give Sha Ruijin an explanation, Li Dakang will not wait for the results of Sun Haiping's investigation before handling the matter. Instead, the government will advance the funds first.

If Yu Xian were to handle the matter, he would do the same thing, but he would not pay the money all at once like Li Dakang did.

The deadline for cashing in the money is before the Chinese New Year. The Guangming District Government will definitely pay, but Yu Xian must fight for it at the meeting. Thirty percent will be paid in the early stages, and the remaining part will be settled after the Shanshui Group is liquidated. In this way, the financial pressure on Guangming District will not be too great.

But I am not so easy in front of Li Dakang. I slapped him in the face last night, and I will contradict him again in the meeting tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I am sure to be bullied. Fortunately, Wu Zuoli has rectified the petition window. In addition, the change from full advance payment to partial advance payment will not put much financial pressure in the later period, and the reform of the treatment of retired employees can also be realized. I just don't know what reason Li Dakang will find to make things difficult for me.

Thinking about his current situation and the plot line, Yu Xian broke out in a cold sweat and was so busy that he ignored Chen Hai's car accident.

On the evening of January 1, there were actually quite a few dramas in Jingzhou. Zhao Donglai's Municipal Bureau and Qi Tongwei's Provincial Department were looking for Cai Chenggong everywhere. This man who liked to add drama to himself contacted Chen Hai according to the phone number provided by Hou Liangping, saying that they were going to meet at the car dismantling factory outside the city. However, when they arrived at the place, they did not see the real person, but only saw Cai Chenggong's brother-in-law.

The other party had just said a few words when two police cars came over. He immediately said that they would make an appointment another day and turned and ran away, leaving Chen Hai standing there in a daze being questioned by the police.

Ding Yizhen has been arrested and is being interrogated, but Handong is unaware of this and is still proceeding according to the previous work arrangements.

Now, after Chen Hai sends Chen Yanshi back to the nursing home, he will return to the unit to get the information and go to Jingzhou International Airport to take a flight to Beijing to meet Qin Siyuan to report on his work.

"Xiao Li, go to the Handong Provincial Procuratorate!"
