"Simin, tell He Meili later that you should make sure it's clear. Since Xiuyuan doesn't mean it that way, it's better to be clear so as not to delay him." After the group arrived at Song Limin's house, Song Limin seized the opportunity to pull his wife Li Simin aside and said this.
Li Simin sighed upon hearing this. She had also sensed her nephew Li Xiuyuan's attitude at the dinner party; there was no need to persuade him, his attitude was very firm.
"Okay, I understand. I'll let you know later." Li Simin nodded.
Song Limin was relieved. The two families had a good relationship, and he hoped that this matter wouldn't cause any conflict.
At 2 p.m., Li Xiuyuan arrived at Meilin Village. The three relocation mobilization teams had not yet visited any households and were discussing the matter in the meeting room. Several days had passed and not a single household had been visited, so they were getting a little anxious.
Upon seeing Li Xiuyuan enter, everyone stood up to greet him.
Li Xiuyuan waved for everyone to sit down, then took out a cigarette and offered it to everyone before saying, "Everyone worked overtime this weekend, thank you for your hard work."
“Mayor Li, I don’t mind working overtime, but the problem is that we haven’t completed a single household’s work. I can’t explain this to you,” Zhang Xingdong said first.
Zhang Yaozong and Wang Zhitao chimed in, saying that several days had passed and even if they had signed a contract with just one household, they would have seen hope. But the problem was that there wasn't a single household signed, and there was no progress at all.
The three heads of the demolition mobilization team looked worried, but Li Xiuyuan had a faint smile on his face: "It's normal to be difficult at first, but it will be easier after we break through. We've only worked for four days this week, so let's just consider it as explaining the policy to everyone and getting a feel for the situation. Don't worry."
Hearing Li Xiuyuan's words of comfort, the expressions on Zhang Xingdong and the other two's faces softened a bit. Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Alright, it's getting late. You guys continue with your work and mobilization efforts. Remember to get a clear picture of the situation. We'll have a debriefing meeting tomorrow morning."
After seeing everyone off, Li Xiuyuan's expression turned gloomy. It had been two days this weekend, and there hadn't been a single sound from Meilin Village.
I had to force myself to use tough measures.
As Li Xiuyuan was pondering this, Zhou Jianzhong pushed open the door and walked in.
"Director Zhou." Li Xiuyuan glanced at Zhou Jianzhong, his face expressionless. He had given Zhou Jianzhong face in the conference room the other day, but it seemed that Zhou Jianzhong had no shame at all.
When he initially chose Zhou Jianzhong, he felt that Zhou Jianzhong was a suitable candidate in all aspects, but he never expected that Zhou Jianzhong would now cause him trouble.
"Mayor Li, I have some work to report to you." Zhou Jianzhong's heart trembled when he saw Li Xiuyuan's unpleasant expression.
Li Xiuyuan coldly uttered a single word, "Speak."
Li Xiuyuan's attitude made Zhou Jianzhong's heart sink even further. Clearly, Li Xiuyuan was angry. Zhou Jianzhong forced himself to say, "Mayor Li, I have some thoughts on the issue of compensation for this demolition."
“My home is also within the demolition area. We're relatively well-off; while we're not rich, we're not struggling either. So I can accept no compensation, just demolition and relocation to a new house, but…”
