The expressions of the people in the small conference room were even more surprised than at the beginning, and the atmosphere inside became increasingly depressing. Feng Yuxing didn't seem to mind at all. Everyone thought to themselves, "This little brother has a really big heart!"
Gong Yongli and County Magistrate Xin Chunguang chatted for nearly two hours. However, everyone else had to sit there for two hours in silence, following Feng Yuxing's lead.
"Let's go to the development zone. Our Changming Development Zone is quite successful!" Gong Yongli chatted for two hours. This sentence made everyone feel a sense of accomplishment. They thought that Vice Mayor Gong was affirming their achievements.
But Feng Yuxing didn't think so. He knew that when Deputy Mayor Gong arrived in the development zone, he would definitely find something to cause trouble.
Gong Yongli estimated that once he had the chance, he would make things difficult for various affairs in the development zone, try to find a breakthrough, and display his ability to manipulate the situation.
As expected.
A group of people headed towards the development zone in a mighty procession.
Gong Yongli’s goal was very clear, he went directly to inspect “Changdong Food” which was under the charge of Bavit.
Rao Yu, deputy general manager of Changyun Food, also led several key management personnel and waited at the company gate early.
"Welcome Mayor Yongli and all the leaders. Changyun Food is honored!" Deputy General Manager Rao Yu's face full of fat was full of smiles.
The last time Feng Yuxing came, none of the key management personnel had appeared. This time, Deputy Mayor Gong arrived, and he was treated like a distinguished guest. Feng Yuxing was unaware of this, but whenever anyone from the Changming County Party Committee or County Government came, the management personnel didn't take it seriously.
"Vice President Rao, I haven't seen you for a year or two. How is the company lately?" Gong Yongli spoke in a tone as friendly as an elder talking to a junior, with a friendly smile on his face.
"Thanks to Mayor Yongli, the business is still good. However, ever since President Ba was arrested by the county police station for no reason, the production line has not been functioning properly." Rao Yu pretended to be embarrassed while speaking.
What he meant was that if their General Manager Ba was not released, then they would consider moving the factory to another city or county; he said this to Gong Yongli, and even more so to Feng Yuxing.
The people of Changming County Party Committee and County Government were not surprised at all that the people from Changyun Food said this, but saying this in front of Feng Yuxing was obviously a complaint about him to his superiors in front of him.
The purpose is obvious.
Gong Yongli turned around and looked at Feng Yuxing and the others. After looking at everyone, he began his speech.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we must prioritize economic development. This focus cannot be shaken, no matter when or where! As local officials, we must benefit the local community and create a favorable business environment for businesses. This is extremely important.
Enterprises not only bring tax revenue to the local area, but also create a large number of employment opportunities for local people. This is a pioneering move to enrich the people.
We must respect the law and not use power to replace the law. We cannot use power to replace the law just because we dislike people or things, otherwise we will become the creator of social troubles and hinder enterprises.
The speed of a train depends entirely on the locomotive; the development and growth of an enterprise depends on the person at the helm. Some of our comrades simply do not respect enterprises, and therefore do not attach importance to economic development.
Arresting the helmsman of a company for no reason, how can we develop the local economy if we continue like this? I solemnly declare here that those who undermine the favorable situation of economic development, whether individuals or groups, will be resolutely punished, and those who are cadres will be resolutely held accountable.
Gong Yongli raised his official tone by several levels, chattering on for a long time, putting accusations one after another. Everyone present turned their eyes to Feng Yuxing, their eyes full of, "Little brother, you have such a big heart. This is a blatant bullying against you! Why don't you fight back!"
But Feng Yuxing's faces showed no joy or sorrow, and they even had a faint smile on their faces.
Anyone present with a sound mind could see that Deputy Mayor Gong Yongli was practically pointing his finger at Feng Yuxing and saying, "Feng Yuxing, you ordered the arrest of Bavit, the head of Changyun Food. You are saboteurs who are sabotaging Changming County's economic development..."
It was really an explosive incident that Deputy Mayor Gong directly scolded his subordinates in front of business people.
Things like this do happen, but it's rare to see someone just pretending to scold someone and going through the motions and then getting along with their subordinates like this.
Unfortunately, some people are still not satisfied and think the firepower is not enough!
"Mayor Yongli is truly a father and mother official for us ordinary people. He is a true pioneer in economic development and a close partner of our enterprise. With Mayor Yongli's words, our enterprise can produce and operate with peace of mind. It gives us full confidence. I believe that the economy of Changming County will take off again."
At this moment, Rao Yu was like a passionate orator, his tone changed.
"I hope Mayor Yongli will quickly resolve the matter concerning General Manager Bavitt of Changyunling. This is a case of 'finding a crime is easy to do'!"
Rao Yu used his flattery skills to the fullest, but in the eyes of everyone, this was a rhythm of seeking death; given their attitude towards Feng Yuxing, since he ordered the arrest of Bavit, the evidence was conclusive, and there was no way they could ask Feng Yuxing to release him.
"I've heard about this as well. If he is found not guilty, then he should be released, and..." Gong Yongli said as he turned to look at Feng Yuxing. His words seemed to be swallowed up by a heavenly dog and disappeared.
When everyone looked back, they saw Feng Yuxing, his secretary Pei Qingyuan, and driver Lao Le had already arrived at his car, opened the door and got in.
With the sound of "da da..." from the motor, Feng Yuxing's car sped away, leaving behind Gong Yongli with a gloomy face and everyone else's surprised expressions.
Everyone felt quite embarrassed, but fortunately Feng Yuxing was the top leader of the party and government, and they were still Feng Yuxing's subordinates in political ranking. If it were the other way around, it would be a big deal.
Although Feng Yuxing showed Deputy Mayor Gong Yongli a very bad behavior, no one felt that Feng Yuxing was disrespectful to the leader. Instead, they felt that Gong Yongli asked for it.
From the county government office to the development zone, Gong Yongli's series of actions have made Feng Yuxing, the county party secretary, look bad. He does not behave like a leader should, and there is no need to talk about the overall situation.
Deputy Mayor Gong Yongli could only pretend to look at the development zone and then went back home.
Feng Yuxing did something even more outrageous. He said that he had something to do at home and went back to the provincial capital just to avoid meeting Gong Yongli.
Unfortunately, Gong Yongli still refused to give up and wanted to follow the trend and fight to the end.
Not to mention other places, in Changming County, Xiyun City, and even the provincial capital, anything related to following the trend is big news.
