"What do you mean by 'I' and 'you'? If you ask me, since you're an incompetent member of the Discipline Inspection Commission, you might as well quit. You're just wasting your time in the town's Party Committee. You might as well learn from other towns and replace you with the Director of the Party and Government Office."
Li Xiuyuan slammed his hand on the table and declared that he would replace Ma Tao. He was full of arrogance. Although Li Xiuyuan certainly couldn't do it, he had Ma Tao firmly under his thumb.
Zhang Xingguo couldn't stand it anymore. If things continued like this, Li Xiuyuan would lead the meeting astray, which wouldn't do.
Bang bang bang!
Zhang Xingguo tapped the table. He knew Li Xiuyuan was a troublemaker, but he didn't expect him to be this difficult to deal with.
"Alright, stop arguing. Committee Member Ma does bear responsibility for what happened last year. The town has already given a serious reprimand for this, and the county has also reached a conclusion on the matter concerning the Tian brothers. Let's not bring it up again."
Zhang Xingguo immediately suppressed the matter, leaving Ma Tao feeling wronged. Why should he be scolded for no reason? Zhang Xingguo didn't defend him at all.
If we just let it go so easily, what about the face we've lost?
It's one thing to be humiliated by Li Xiuyuan like that.
But when he turned his head and met Li Xiuyuan's eyes, Ma Tao couldn't help but shrink back. Li Xiuyuan still looked unwilling, which made Ma Tao's heart skip a beat. Damn it, does Li Xiuyuan really want to replace me?
Is this possible? Does Li Xiuyuan have the ability? When Li Xiuyuan said he wanted to replace him, Ma Tao felt it was like two people arguing and Li Xiuyuan saying "I'm going to kill you"—just empty words.
But looking at Li Xiuyuan's eyes now, Ma Tao felt that Li Xiuyuan seemed to be serious. At this moment, Ma Tao didn't care about being humiliated by Li Xiuyuan. What did a little face matter? What he was thinking now was whether Li Xiuyuan had the ability to replace him.
Li Xiuyuan himself certainly lacks ability, but what about the people behind him? Zhang Xingguo said this matter is settled, but is it really settled?
Ma Tao's heart skipped a beat. Although his face was still full of resentment, his straight back bent slightly, and he shrank back to appear less aggressive.
The other members of the town's Party committee were also watching. Hou Peng looked at Li Xiuyuan with even more apprehension. This guy's fighting power is really strong. Qi Weihua, on the other hand, looked at Li Xiuyuan with great admiration. Regardless of whether Li Xiuyuan could achieve his goal at this meeting, he would still be honorable even in defeat.
Lu Zhenhai looked at Li Xiuyuan with a meaningful gaze. This Li Xiuyuan was no ordinary person. His words were sharp and his attitude was tough. He managed to suppress Ma Tao, this old comrade, without giving him any temper.
“Deputy Mayor Li, we are currently discussing the selection of the acting village head for Meilin Village. Getting back to the main topic, if you have any other opinions on Tian Hong, who was proposed by Comrades Kang Yong and Ma Tao, then please speak up,” Zhang Xingguo said, looking at Li Xiuyuan.
His expression also became more serious. A perfectly good meeting had been ruined by Li Xiuyuan, making it seem as if he had lost control of the meeting.
