Secretary Wan received a call from the county government: Bring Qin Chizian to the county government immediately!
The caller was Zhang Wentian, the director of the county government office. He abruptly hung up after saying this one sentence, despite usually being very friendly.
Secretary Wan called Qin Chizian and rushed to the county government in a hurry, urging the driver Lao Qu to step on the gas pedal all the way to the gas tank.
In the meeting room of the county government, not only County Magistrate Gao Song-shan, Office-led Director Zhang Wentian, and Executive Deputy County Magistrate Wu Youshun were present, but even County Party Secretary Li Honghai was also sitting there.
The expressions of several people were one worse than the other.
Before the two could catch their breath, Li Honghai spoke first. "Wan Hongcai, have you lost your ability to manage Baliushu, or do you simply lack the capability to oversee the overall work right now?"
Wan Hongcai was taken aback. "Secretary Li, what do you mean by that?"
Deputy County Magistrate Wu Youshun chimed in. "Wasn't it you who assigned Wu Jiefeng to go to Huacheng alone? He's a newcomer and doesn't understand the specifics. Why didn't you let him take Qin Chizian with him?"
Wu Jiefeng cannot carry out the work over there, and you are the first one who should take responsibility!"
Although secretary is the class monitor, the town mayor is the administrative leader, and it's not a major decision, so it's not a matter of who approves or assigns whom, right?
"You are the big brother, Wu Jiefeng is young, you should give him some guidance!" Gau Songshan glanced at Wu Youshun and then slowly spoke, "There's a very harsh inquiry letter from Huacheng, take a look at it."
Zhang Wentian handed a fax to Wan Hongcai.
To the Committee and Government of Wenyuan County:
On the x day, Wu Jiefeng, who claims to be the Town Mayor of Baliushu Township in your county, came to our office with the intention of violently unilaterally tearing up the cooperation agreement we had previously reached!
Our bureau attaches great importance to this matter. After research by the bureau's party committee, we believe that Baliushu's actions have not only affected the mutual trust between us but also brought significant uncertainty to our cooperation. We are now formally requesting verification; please confirm the nature of Wu Jiefeng's work during this trip.
Sincerely,
Huacheng Commercial Bureau
Date: xxxx Year x Month x Day
Wan Hongcai was stunned. What exactly did Wu Jiefeng do in Huacheng to provoke such a strong reaction from the other party?
Take a look at secretary Li Honghai, County Magistrate Gao song-shan, and then look at Deputy County Magistrate Wu Youshun, Wan Hongcai feels like crying in his heart.
This Wu Jiefeng is really not an easy person to deal with.
Before leaving for Huacheng, Wu Jiefeng also greeted Wan Hongcai, who suggested, "Chief Wu, you can bring Qin Chizian with you. He knows the situation better since he arranged it, especially at Deputy Director Jia's place, it seems like the relationship is not ordinary."
But Wu Jiefeng retorted, "Secretary Wan, we are currently engaged in a public cooperation. How can we allow personal feelings to interfere too much? Are we supposed to stop our work just because of one person?"
Well, don't create trouble then!
Wu Jiefeng is the biological son of Wu Youshun. His good brother, Zhang Wentian, privately revealed to him, "The economic and trade company that was originally planned by the county was actually the idea of Deputy County Magistrate Wu Youshun: to bring the achievements of Baliushu Township into the county. The first person proposed to lead the economic and trade company is Wu Jiefeng... Deputy County Magistrate Wu and Secretary Li have been getting quite close..."
County Magistrate Gao, though dissatisfied with the proposal, did not wish to create too much tension with the old guard. Moreover, the county indeed wanted to showcase something substantial to the higher-ups.
Last time, Qin Chizian's remarks had a direct impact on County Magistrate Gao. At the meeting, he insisted that Baliushu should develop independently; the county could provide guidance but should not interfere too much!
Later, the matter concerning the Economic and Trade Company was temporarily shelved, but the storyline continued to unfold according to Wu Youshun's arrangement: Wu Jiefeng, the former Deputy Mayor of Chengguan Town, was reassigned to Baliushu as Town Mayor!
At that time, Wan Hongcai was only concerned with his own promotion. When the organization sought his opinion, he never thought about what kind of cooperation the team would give him.
Li Honghai glanced at Wu Youshun, feeling dissatisfied in his heart: They say to promote the capable without avoiding relatives, but you are not giving me face.
But regardless of his thoughts, he still had to resolve the conflicts on the Huacheng side first.
But what is unexpected is that Wu Youshun suddenly turned his spearhead towards Qin Chizian, who had been silent all along: "You are familiar with the situation in Huacheng, why didn't you accompany Magistrate Wu on his business trip? What are you avoiding? Are you intentionally not aligning with the leadership, making a joke of the leadership, in order to highlight your achievements? What kind of mentality is this?"
If words could kill, Qin Chizian would have been torn to shreds by Wu Youshun long ago.
I've been here for the second time, and I'm not afraid of shameless scum like you!
Qin Chizian Evil breeds courage: "Report to the leader, Magistrate Wu did not arrange for me to accompany him. He sent me down to supervise production and Quality inspection! If the leader has instructions, I must strictly follow them!"
Wu Youshun had an unpleasant expression and secretly cursed: "Can't you take the blame for my son?"
Gau Songshan stepped forward: "Xiao Qin is just an ordinary staff member. How can he decide what the leader does?"
Take a look at Wu Youshun: Old man, don't bully people too much!
Li Honghai also thinks Wu Youshun has gone too far. Let's not talk about picking peaches, but you can't just shift the blame when you come up. You have no sense of responsibility. How can you do a good job!
Li Honghai clears his throat and looks at Qin Chizian: "Xiao Qin, right? You are more familiar with the other party. Contact them first and understand the specific situation... You must tell the other party that Wenyuan is sincere and optimistic about the cooperation between the two parties. If Wu Jiefeng has any inappropriate words or actions, it's just his personal behavior and does not represent the organization's intention! Wenyuan will also hold him accountable for his work!"
Gau Songshan continued, "Secretary Honghai is right. Xiao Qin, go to my office now and negotiate with the other party. Try to calm things down. Wenyuan has faced many difficulties over the years. If we don't act, it's already bad enough. If we backtrack now, we'll be the culprits in the eyes of over 400,000 people in the county!" This accusation made Wu Youshun's face even darker.
The meeting was adjourned. Gau Songshan stood up, and Qin Chizian and Zhang Wentian followed him out.
Wan Hongcai Neither leaving nor staying, after some thought, he sat down again.

In Wu Jiefeng's mind, the whole world belongs to his father Wu Youshun.
After graduating from high school and failing the college entrance examination, his father used connections to get him into Jiangcheng Light Industry School for vocational training. After graduation, he worked for six months as a clerk in the county Department of Transportation, then transferred to Chengguan Town Party and Government Office, where he served as deputy director and later director. In less than four years, he reached his current position as the town mayor of Baliushu Township.
On a business trip to Huacheng, he envisioned the scenario: the top leaders would come out to greet him, followed by friendly discussions about expanding future cooperation. Everything would go smoothly, and he would return triumphantly.
However, upon arrival, the Huacheng Commercial Bureau only sent a department head to meet him—the same He who was the head of the Economic and Trade Department and had clashed with Qin Chizian before.
In the reception room, with a hint of dissatisfaction, Magistrate Wu said, "Director He, I think the scale of our cooperation can be expanded, don't you agree?"
Director He, who was not a bad person, had a straightforward personality: "The existing cooperation plans have all been researched by the office."
Magistrate Wu had always been successful in Wenyuan, but at this moment, his words lacked tact: "How about this, if you can't make the decision here, then take me to directly communicate with our leaders. The contract can be modified again."
Director He remained calm and said, "Alright, I will report to the leader, you can go back and wait for the news first."
I don't know how Director He reported to the leader, but the General Manager Deputy Director was very angry and directly instructed to send a letter of inquiry to Wenyuan County.
Wu Jiefeng got into big trouble.
When trying to communicate with the office again, not only did the bureau leaders not have time, but even Director He couldn't meet with him.
Nothing was accomplished; he came and only exchanged a few words. How is he supposed to explain this when he goes back?
This really put Chief Wu in a difficult position, and it gave him a taste of how complex society can be.
Chief Wu from Wheat City called his father and was immediately scolded by Wu Youshun: "You little brat, aren't you the one looking for trouble? You captured Qin Chizian, and all the credit should be yours! Who told you to act on your own and go to Huacheng? Even if you went to Huacheng, why did you leave Qin Chizian behind?"
Deputy County Magistrate Wu tried to find someone to take the blame for his son's ignorance and recklessness.
There were two best candidates: one was Wan Hongcai, the class leader, who at least bore some leadership responsibility; the other was Qin Chizian, who was young and easy to talk to. But how could this matter be pinned on him?
