The words were spoken in a grand and dignified manner, but the true intention was self-evident.

Hao Jianshe understood that Deputy Secretary Zhou was trying to challenge his authority.

If he wanted to get things done, he needed to gain control of the commune.

Otherwise, whatever you want to do, you'll be suppressed by him.

What if Hao Jianshe rejects him every time, just like when Hao Jianshe first came to Baishi Commune and was suppressed by Zhou Zhigang?

But Hao Jianshe felt that Deputy Secretary Zhou was overthinking things.

If it's a good thing, wouldn't Hao Jianshe agree?

It's just that Deputy Secretary Zhou is overthinking things.

But at this point, he still had to speak.

Before Hao Jianshe could speak, Fu Shuhua seized the opportunity and said, "Deputy Secretary Zhou, you shouldn't say that. Since Secretary Hao came to Baishi Commune, he has been wholeheartedly devoted to public service and has done a lot over the years. Which one of them wasn't for the country and the people?"

Have the seasoned veterans of Baishi Commune been eliminated?

Some of the elderly people who had lived in Baishi Commune immediately brightened up, thinking that it seemed that Secretary Hao was going to win this time.

Everyone knows that Fu Shuhua, this seasoned veteran, will only step onto the field when he is absolutely certain of victory.

Gu Yunyang almost burst out laughing. Fu Shuhua actually noticed his expression before deciding to step in.

What if he was just putting on a brave face, putting on an act that led Fu Shuhua to misunderstand?

However, this time, Fu Shuhua was right.

Fu Shuhua said, "Officer Gu was also specially approved by County Chief Chen to come to the commune. After he arrived, he did a great thing and brought a path to prosperity to our Baishi Commune. We all have to acknowledge this."

Deputy Secretary Zhou frowned: "I don't doubt his contributions either. However, merits are merits and demerits are demerits. What I mean is that the issues surrounding Secretary Chen are also very important."

We cannot wrongly blame any meritorious person, but we also cannot let any corrupt person get away with it, can we?

That sounds even more high-sounding.

Fu Shuhua was speechless.

He's already given you an out, what's the point of you still clinging on?

Hao Jianshe coughed, surprised by Fu Shuhua's fate.

But now that I think about it, I understand why Fu Shuhua stepped in.

This shows they think highly of Gu Yunyang and want to do him a favor.

Hao Jianshe smiled and said, "Since everyone is curious, I'll tell you."

Everyone looked over curiously, but Deputy Secretary Zhou frowned.

Hao Jianshe wasn't worried at all; on the contrary, he spoke very frankly.

He's so certain, does that mean Officer Chen misheard today?

But the fact that Officer Chen reported so confidently means that he must not have misheard.

Seeing Chen's resentful expression, Deputy Secretary Zhou reassured himself and decided to listen to Hao Jianshe's excuses first.

What he needs to do today is raise questions.

Regardless of success or failure, Hao Jianshe's prestige will be affected.

He was also a very ambitious cadre, and to realize his ambitions, he needed to have a voice.

This has nothing to do with personal hatred; it's simply that he wanted to do things his own way, and therefore had to fight for control.

Facing the gazes of a group of people, Hao Jianshe remained calm and said slowly, "I think everyone is very curious about what happened today."

Yes, I admit that when Secretary Gu came to see me today, he did say that some things needed the commune to resolve.

At this point, Hao Jianshe looked around.

Chen immediately gave off a look that said, "See, I knew he said those things."

He's here to get things done through connections.

They themselves admitted it.

He seemed eager to take credit, wanting Deputy Secretary Zhou to remember his contributions and to think about promoting him later.

Gu Yunyang was speechless.

This person probably can't admit his failure and incompetence, and thinks that the reason he is not as good as Gu Yunyang is because he has no one behind him and no powerful backer.
