Chapter 381 This old guy is a little abnormal today
When Zhou Yong rushed over, Yang Sen was banging the table with the heads of other townships, while the county head stood with his arms folded, looking at them expressionlessly.
Upon seeing the situation, Zhou Yong immediately realized that nothing good was waiting for him.
Now that he was here, it was impossible to leave, so Zhou Yong could only bite the bullet and knock on the open door of the reception room.
As soon as Yang Sen saw him, he immediately became extremely excited: "Zhou Yong, tell County Magistrate Gao the details of what happened..."
Zhou Yong couldn't help but frown after hearing what Yang Sen said. The head of Hongri Township, Lao Lu, smiled and said, "I, Lu, have always been upright. I want to hear what you have to say about me."
In addition to Lao Lu, there were also the head of Qianjin Township and the head of another township.
Township head Lu did send someone to look for Zhou Yong, but he didn't say anything else. He just meant that if they wanted to recruit workers, they could go to Hongri Township.
Zhou Yong just agreed with a grunt and a ha, and his words were just for show. However, when Yang Sen heard about this, it was not the case anymore.
It feels like several other townships want to snatch Zhou Yong away. To put it more exaggeratedly, it seems as if they want to move the entire Huaixi Village there.
County Mayor Gao said that Yang Sen was too sensitive. After all, some things are subject to policy constraints and it is impossible for anyone to do whatever they want.
Yang Sen, who had always been a soft persimmon in front of his superiors, was caught off guard this time. No matter how County Magistrate Gao tried to persuade him, he refused to listen.
He had to ask the heads of several other townships to come for a confrontation. On the one hand, he wanted to prove that he was not exaggerating, and on the other hand, he hoped that Zhou Yong would stand firm in his position.
Zhou Yong listened to their argument silently, secretly holding his forehead and thinking: What is going on?
He was really busy. If he had known about this over the phone, Zhou Yong would have said he would not have come no matter what.
The four township heads were arguing with each other until their faces turned red and thick necks. County Chief Gao glanced at Zhou Yong's face.
Zhou Yong hasn't said a word since he entered the office, and all he did was watch the four township heads engage in a verbal battle.
County Magistrate Gao slammed the table and said, "That's enough. You are all party members, but you are so unorganized and undisciplined..."
Yang Sen and Village Chief Lu gradually lowered their heads, and the remaining two village chiefs also shut their mouths.
Zhou Yong secretly raised his eyebrows, and his eyes moved away from County Magistrate Gao's face.
"Zhou Yong, can you tell me what's going on?"
What's going on?
What does Zhou Yong say about this?
If he tells the truth, he will offend Yang Sen, but if he doesn't, he will offend the other three village heads.
Zhou Yong was in a dilemma. Just as he was trying to figure out what to say, County Magistrate Gao said, "Just say whatever you want to say."
What he said was true, but as a village cadre at the lowest level, Zhou Yong had to be careful with what he said.
He was not afraid of these people, but mainly because Zhou Yong did not want to get into trouble.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yong sighed: "County Magistrate Gao, after all, all this is the fault of Huaixi Village. How about this, I resign and let someone else be the village chief of Huaixi Village..."
No matter what Zhou Yong said, it was wrong, so he simply took a tactic of retreating to advance.
County Chief Gao was well aware of the situation in Huaixi Village. If Zhou Yong could have been replaced as village chief, he would not have stayed in the position for so many years.
Previously, because of Zhou Yong’s incident, the villagers of Huaixi Village made a big fuss at the county government. No matter who served as the top leader of Qingmu County, they would not remove Zhou Yong from his position as village chief.
In other words, even if Zhou Yong did not want to be the village chief, the county leaders would find ways to keep him doing it.
Because the villagers of Huaixi Village only recognize Zhou Yong as the village chief, no one else would be able to manage the affairs of Huaixi Village.
Besides, Huaixi Village is now developing rapidly. Even if Yang Sen, the village chief, is removed, County Chief Gao cannot let Zhou Yong leave.
Some things are tacitly understood by everyone. As soon as Zhou Yong said this, County Mayor Gao's face changed.
Yang Sen frowned and looked at Zhou Yong unkindly: "What do you mean by that?"
Ever since Yang Sen took office as the head of Hongqi Township, his relationship with Zhou Yong has been somewhat subtle.
Yang Sen wanted to control Zhou Yong, but he had Chen Pingliang and Guo Xiangqian backing him, so he didn't dare to confront Zhou Yong openly.
However, Yang Sen wanted to get to know Chen Pingliang and Guo Xiangqian through Zhou Yong. Whenever he mentioned this, Zhou Yong never responded.
It was also because of these things that Yang Sen would occasionally make small talk and criticize Zhou Yong.
It was just a few harmless words, and Zhou Yong thought Yang Sen was talking nonsense, so the two of them have always been at odds with each other.
Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows and looked directly at Yang Sen's angry face: "Village Chief Yang, haven't I made my words clear enough? I said I resigned so as not to be caught between you and be a nobody..."
Yang Sen bit his back teeth, his eyes becoming slightly sinister.
County Magistrate Gao frowned slightly: "This matter really puts you in a difficult position. It's my fault for not thinking it through."
After hearing what County Magistrate Gao said, Zhou Yong hurriedly said, "County Magistrate Gao, I am flattered by what you said. It really humiliates me."
County Mayor Gao had dealt with Zhou Yong several times, and had also heard from others about how he had slammed the table in the early years with several previous party secretaries and county mayors.
It must be said that County Mayor Gao admires Zhou Yong very much as a person and his talent.
Yang Sen almost got angry when listening to the conversation between County Chief Gao and Zhou Yong, while Township Chief Lu was laughing happily beside him.
At this time, County Magistrate Gao cleared his throat and thought for a moment: "This matter is over, no one should mention it again."
Yang Sen was not happy with this and immediately started to make a scene: "County Magistrate Gao, if this is the case, can I also go to other townships to seek development?"
County Chief Gao's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes flashed with displeasure. He looked at the aggressive Yang Sen and said, "Yang Sen, since you took office as the head of Hongqi Township, I have not seen you make any contribution to the township. What qualifications do you have to be so arrogant in front of me?"
If he had a certain performance at work and had the confidence to challenge his superiors, the problem was that Yang Sen had not done anything, and County Magistrate Gao kept him in this position because he took him into consideration.
Following County Chief Gao's words, Yang Sen's arrogance subsided.
County Chief Gao glanced at Yang Sen's face and said, "It's been two years. No matter how poor you are, you should at least make some contribution to the village. But look at Hongqi Township now. Every village is in turmoil, and you, the township chief, are also in turmoil. It's true that like generals, like soldiers..."
These words were like several big slaps in Yang Sen's face, and his face instantly turned as pale as a palette!
County Magistrate Gao raised his hand and pinched his brows: "Let's have a meeting later to discuss and transfer you to another place!"
"County Magistrate Gao, where are you going to transfer me to?"
When Yang Sen said this, Zhou Yong actually caught a hint of excitement in his eyes.
County Magistrate Gao did not answer Yang Sen's words, but showed a tired look: "You all go back! I will notify you if there is anything..."
After several people left County Magistrate Gao's office, Zhou Yong glanced at Yang Sen, who looked unhappy.
Mayor Lu deliberately greeted Zhou Yong in front of Yang Sen: "Brother Zhou, I'm leaving first. Let's get together and have a drink when we have time."
Zhou Yong laughed and exchanged a few polite words with Village Chief Lu. Taking this opportunity, Yang Sen turned around and left without saying hello to anyone.
Village Chief Lu looked at Yang Sen's back and said, "This old guy is a little abnormal today. You have to be careful of him."
Zhou Yong pretended to be stunned: "Village Chief Lu, what do you mean by this?"
