I Led the Entire Village out of Poverty and to Prosperity

Tiger Mountain Village, a provincial-level poverty-stricken village, had worn out three successive poverty alleviation cadres, yet it still maintained a stagnant attitude.

After a continuous ...

Chapter 188: Betrayal

Considering Tie Niu's well-known fighting skills throughout the town, Director Luo called two policemen, quickly opened the door, and looked defensive.

Huo Qianli turned his head to look at them and waved his hand, "It's okay, you guys go out. Don't worry, go out!"

The crowd retreated again, and behind them were gathered a group of onlookers' family members. There were even a few patients with needles and IV bottles in their hands who came over to look in.

Surrounding the door, they listened to Huo Qianli speaking earnestly: "Brother, you have to be understanding. Such a big thing happened in the industrial park, and the security is to blame. Although it is not your responsibility, you still have to give an explanation."

"With such a large park, who can guarantee that nothing will happen?" Tie Niu's voice was still angry. "I don't even have enough food to eat every day. I patrol the park several times every day. I'm tired and thin. If something goes wrong, I'll be fired. Are you killing me after I've done my job? Are you destroying my bridges after crossing them?"

"Tell me honestly, if I hadn't agreed to it in the end, would you have been able to concentrate the land? What did you say at the beginning? You said that I was the only one who could ensure the security of the whole village, and you needed me the most! No matter what you did later, I would stand firmly on your side and help you a lot. Now that there are more people and something has happened, you have abandoned me and my son. Look, he is still unconscious now. Aren't you too selfish?"

Huo Qianli's voice was very helpless. "Brother, I'm not trying to destroy your bridges, and this is not something I can decide. This kind of treatment is necessary, and it's just a temporary suspension pending investigation. Once the matter is clarified, you can still return to work."

"What? Investigation?!"

Huo Qianli quickly said: "Brother, don't get excited, just cooperate with the police to ask a few questions."

"roll!"

With a bang, the glass bottle was thrown out and exploded on the ground.

Director Luo and the police officers could no longer sit still and rushed in, standing in front of Huo Qianli.

Huo Qianli said sincerely and even humbly: "Brother, please listen to my explanation."

"Get lost! Huo Qianli, I haven't seen you for five years. I thought you were still the same as before, but I didn't expect that you have changed and become the same as those officials! Huo Qianli, look at my bed, look at my son who is still sleeping here! Don't you feel guilty?"

"Remember this! I'm a hero! Not a criminal!"

Amid the roar of Tie Niu, Huo Qianli walked out of the ward dejectedly. The wounded and their families next door, who had just bowed down to him and expressed gratitude, began to look at him strangely.

On the way downstairs, Director Luo hesitated and said, "Secretary Huo..."

Huo Qianli took a deep breath and pulled himself together, "Get ready, go to the industrial park, and work on site at night."

As soon as their car entered the industrial park, county official Guo Haoran called.

"Secretary Guo!"

"Comrade Qianli! How is the situation at Hushan Pharmaceutical Factory?"

He did not report it to his superiors, but Guo Haoran knew about it.

How did he know and who said it? This is very intriguing.

But now was not the time for him to think about these things. He immediately said, "Secretary, I just came out of the hospital. No one was killed. The few who were sent to the hospital had minor burns and scalds. They will be fine after a few days of rest."

Guo Haoran breathed a sigh of relief, "Where's the property?"

"Secretary Guo, please wait a moment."

He hurried into the Hushan Pharmaceutical Factory, covered the microphone of his mobile phone, and looked at a staff member, "Call your factory director over! Has the damage been counted?"

Soon, Qi Mingguang ran over with a document in his hand.

"Secretary Huo, the statistics have just been completed."

Huo Qianli took it and turned directly to the summary at the end, "Secretary Guo, the disaster-affected area is 980 square meters in total, and the property losses total......"

Huo Qianli looked at the number and read it out slowly, "More than 21.4 million."

On the other end of the phone, Guo Haoran couldn't help but take a breath.

"Chisato, the situation is serious!"

"Secretary Guo, I will speed up the process."

“Sometimes, you don’t have to be too cautious.”

"good!"

After hanging up the phone, Huo Qianli was very glad that before coming, he asked the Organization Department for help in transferring Senior Haoran over, otherwise this one move would have made him passive in an instant.

Even for an industrial park with a current output value of hundreds of millions, 20 million is an astonishing figure.

He calmed himself down a little, walked to the large conference room of Hushan Pharmaceutical Factory, and met up with Qin Shan and others who were in charge there.

Then they immediately began to issue relevant disaster relief instructions:

First, strengthen the park's security to prevent similar incidents from happening again;

Secondly, the police station quickly retrieved the surveillance footage, sealed the video footage, and controlled the relevant personnel;

Then they protected the scene, set up a cordon, and strictly prohibited anyone from entering the fire area. Huo Qianli directly requested support from the criminal police team of the county public security bureau, and the criminal police there were on their way;

Finally, in order to reassure the people, Huo Qianli did not hide the rumors like other officials did and let them ferment. Instead, he asked the office to draft a statement of the situation and announced the true situation. After making some minor modifications to the text, he printed it out and posted it in several prominent locations such as the village committee, pharmaceutical factory, and industrial park.

After finishing all these, he looked at everyone and said, "The emergency has been dealt with. It's not a big deal to have so many people here. We still have work to do tomorrow. Let's do this. Mayor Qin, Deputy Secretary Liu, and I will take turns. I will go first today. Deputy Mayor Wang and Director Luo will stay. The rest of you should go back and have a rest! All the rest of you should go back and keep the phone open!"

Everyone was a little hesitant. After all, the leader was still there, and they were somewhat scared to go back to sleep by themselves.

Huo Qianli forced a smile and said, "Let's go quickly. If you don't leave, I'll feel embarrassed if I secretly take a nap."

Under the leadership of Qin Shan, the rest of the people slowly left.

After everyone left, Huo Qianli looked at the two of them and said, "Thank you for staying with me tonight!"

Director Luo quickly said, "It's my duty. Secretary Huo, that's very polite."

Wang Anquan also nodded and said, "Secretary Huo, you have already taken the lead. What else can we say?"

He sighed, "Not to mention, it's such a big deal."

Huo Qianli said to Director Luo: "Go and call Director Qi over."

Just as Qi Mingguang, the director of Hushan Pharmaceutical Factory, hurried into the meeting room with a look of panic on his face, the phone in Huo Qianli's pocket rang.

After taking a look at the caller, Huo Qianli raised the phone to his ear and turned down the volume.

"Honey, I just looked through the report and saw something!"

Huo Qianli glanced at Director Luo and the others and said calmly, "Well, continue."

Jiang Qingyue asked: "Are you not convenient now?"

"No, you talk and I listen."

"There is a big problem with the report of Hushan Pharmaceutical Factory!"

Huo Qianli raised his head, and Qi Mingguang nodded slightly at him awkwardly and sheepishly.
