The first Wenyuan Woven Art Festival concluded perfectly. As the chief coordinator, Wu Youshun submitted a commendation list to the County Committee and county government:
The organizing unit, Bayuliu Tree Township People's Government, received a notice of commendation from the County Committee and county government. The festival's chief coordinator, Wu Youshun, was recognized for his "excellent management." The public security department and the People's Hospital were commended for their "strong support." The Wenyuan County Radio and Television Bureau also received recognition. Peng Guoan, Chen Caihong, and the director of the county hospital, Kang Yu, were honored as advanced individuals.
At the same time, criticisms were directed at relevant personnel regarding certain issues: Chief Coordinator Qin Chizian's inadequate performance nearly led to a serious incident with Yanjing Silver Goose Company. Due to Qin Chizian's poor handling of the situation, conflicts arose between foreign friends and villagers, almost resulting in a collective incident and diplomatic mishap. It was suggested that Qin Chizian and Tao Anmin be held accountable.
The commendation list was quickly approved, but the accountability issues surrounding the two major matters became mired in a stalemate. During the summary meeting, Wu Youshun spoke eloquently about how severe the situation was when villagers clashed with the Japanese and how he managed to avert disaster. Chen Caihong recounted how Qin Chizian lacked restraint at Silver Goose Company, exacerbating tensions.
Qin Chizian sat beside He Hongmei, struggling to contain his anger: Were these people even human? The two were clearly intent on putting Qin Chizian in a difficult position. Peng Guoan immediately voiced his opposition: "I am not familiar with the Silver Goose situation, but I was present during the conflict with the Japanese. I believe Comrade Qin Chizian handled it appropriately—politely and reasonably. In fact, if it weren't for Comrade Qin Chizian's timely intervention, things could have escalated even further!"
Wu Youshun did not expect the County Public Security Bureau Chief to openly contradict him; this had never happened before. "Bureau Peng, what do you mean by that?" Wu Youshun's expression darkened.
Peng Guoan replied expressionlessly, "I just want to express the actual situation as it was. The circumstances were indeed dangerous at that time, but those issues were not caused by Comrade Qin Chizian."
"Then, could you describe the specific circumstances at that time and how they arose?" Wu Youshun dared not completely fall out with Peng Guoan.
"Well..." Peng Guoan indeed felt intimidated.
Wu Youshun's attitude was firm and resolute. "As our cadre, I also believe that Comrade Qin Chizian has contributed a lot throughout the entire arts festival, but hard work cannot cover up mistakes!"
He signaled to Chen Caihong, hoping she would follow up, but Chen Caihong noticed Qin Chizian's suppressed anger and pretended not to see the cue.
Sitting next to Qin Chizian was He Hongmei, who had been waiting to speak. Seeing Wu Youshun temporarily pause, she directly turned on the microphone in front of her: "As a member of the organizing committee for the arts festival, we have all witnessed Director Qin's work ability and sense of responsibility since the preparations began.
I take responsibility for every word I say: during the entire arts festival, Comrade Qin Chizian not only worked diligently and fulfilled his duties but also dealt with various emergencies. Regarding the two matters mentioned by Deputy County Magistrate Wu, I feel I have significant authority to speak on them. The first matter is that Silver Goose rudely demanded transportation fees from us, totaling hundreds of thousands. Director Chen, they first approached you about this issue; is that correct?"
Chen Caihong lowered her head under He Hongmei's somewhat agitated questioning: "Yes."
"Then how did you handle it? Why did you later ask Director Qin to go and discuss this matter with them?" He Hongmei pressed on relentlessly.
