Few people speak so forcefully and sharply, leaving themselves no room for maneuver.
However, things are not going well in Meilin Village. We've been working for two days and haven't managed to secure many households. That's understandable; even securing two or three households would be a good start, and we could take it slow. But we haven't secured a single household, which means that someone here has started to collude.
Otherwise, he doesn't believe that no one in the village would be tempted by this policy. Demolishing the old houses and building new ones is a very good policy. Perhaps some people are greedy, but not everyone should be greedy.
So it's quite obvious that someone is pulling the strings behind this.
Zhang Xingdong sighed and said nothing more. Li Xiuyuan waved and got into his car and left. He actually gave the village cadres some face. In the meeting room, he didn't give Wang Zhitao a chance to reveal which village cadres were on the list of those whose land was being demolished.
After Li Xiuyuan, Zhang Xingdong, and the others left, the atmosphere in the meeting room became very heavy. Everyone smoked and remained silent. Zhou Jianzhong opened his mouth several times as if to say something, but in the end, he just stood up and said, "Alright, everyone, disperse. Think carefully about what Mayor Li said."
After Zhou Jianzhong came out of the conference room, Tian Hong followed him.
"Director, what do you think about what Mayor Li said? I'm definitely not willing to accept it," Tian Hong said to Zhou Jianzhong. His family's land was involved in the demolition and relocation, but Zhou Jianzhong's family's land was within the demolition area.
“I’m unwilling too, but what good will it do if we’re unwilling?” Zhou Jianzhong stopped and looked at Tian Hong, saying, “You’ve seen how assertive Mayor Li’s attitude is.”
“Director, he’s powerful, but he doesn’t have the final say in the village. We’ll hold on as long as we stick together and refuse to back down. Mayor Li will definitely compromise. He can’t just remove us all, can he?” Tian Hong said.
Zhou Jianzhong narrowed his eyes, looking at Tian Hong. "Hold on, but can Tian Hong hold on? Or is he just clinging to me, thinking about his position as village chief?"
"Okay, then let's keep each other informed and discuss things anytime." Zhou Jianzhong nodded with a smile, which was considered an agreement, and Tian Hong then turned and left.
On the other side, Li Xiuyuan's car arrived at the central town. As soon as he entered the town, he saw a car parked by the roadside, and Pi Kai was standing by the roadside waving at him.
Li Xiuyuan stopped the car and rolled down the window. Pi Kai immediately jogged over.
"Li Zhen, I went to town to look for you earlier, and someone said you went to Meilin Village. I'll wait for you here," Pi Kai said with a smile. Tonight's dinner party was attended by Director Zhou from the Education Bureau, so he took it very seriously.
If it weren't for Li Xiuyuan, he wouldn't have had such an opportunity.
"Then get in the car, let's go to the county together," Li Xiuyuan nodded and said.
“Mayor Li, why don’t you get in my car? I have a driver with me,” Pi Kai said.
Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment and nodded: "Wait a moment, I'll park the car inside the government compound."
"Okay, Mayor Li." Pi Kai smiled broadly, and as soon as Li Xiuyuan drove away, he immediately got into his car and told his driver to follow.
