When Wang Zhixing left the central town, not a single person came out to see him off. The saying "out of sight, out of mind" was perfectly illustrated at that moment. For most people, a deputy mayor going to Longgou Township was of no value.
Even if it had some value to a small group of people, they wouldn't dare to be the first to see Wang Zhixing off at this time. The reason was simple: Wang Zhixing's departure involved the town's complex political struggles, and ordinary people wouldn't dare to get involved.
No sooner had Wang Zhixing left the central town than Li Xiuyuan led the guidance team to Meilin Village.
With Wang Zhi's departure, the second phase of the Meilin Village project was able to proceed without any obstacles. The few households that had not yet signed the agreement were now required to do so, bringing the matter to a satisfactory conclusion.
When the car arrived at the village committee compound of Meilin Village, Zhou Jianzhong was already waiting. As soon as Li Xiuyuan got out of the car, Zhou Jianzhong came over to greet him and reported to him.
"Mayor Li, apart from Wang Yongde, the other four households are all waiting for you to arrive so we can sign the contract directly."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and casually asked, "Wang Yongde hasn't arrived yet? Have you contacted him?"
"No, we were thinking of waiting for you to arrive before making a decision," Zhou Jianzhong said. He hadn't dared to let any of the four households sign the demolition and land compensation contracts directly. The reason was simple: Li Xiuyuan had previously instructed that only if he agreed could the remaining five households sign the contracts.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to sign a contract even if they wanted to.
"Okay, I understand." Li Xiuyuan nodded. The matter was finished, and the contracts would definitely be signed today. The reason they wouldn't let them sign before was because Wang Zhixing was still around. They wanted to use this matter to get rid of Wang Zhixing. Now that Wang Zhixing was gone, the matter couldn't be delayed any longer.
We must sign the contract as soon as possible, and at the same time, make sure Wang Zhixing takes the blame for this whole mess.
Let everyone see that the county's decision was correct. Before Wang Zhixing left, the five households, led by Wang Yongde, resolutely resisted the demolition policy. On the day Wang Zhixing left the central town, all five households signed the agreement.
The effect was immediately apparent: it was the right thing to do to remove Wang Zhixing. Wang Zhixing was objectively hindering the construction of new rural areas, and he was effectively locked down in Longgou Township.
When Li Xiuyuan walked into the conference room, everyone stood up. The four families who were about to sign the demolition contract looked at Li Xiuyuan with complicated emotions: awe, fear, and helplessness.
They never expected that instead of discussing compensation or raising the terms, Li Xiuyuan would directly eliminate the connections behind them if the five households refused to sign the agreement.
A deputy town mayor was transferred from the central town to Longguagou Township because of their refusal to demolish the houses.
"Director Zhou, let everyone sign the contract." Li Xiuyuan didn't have the mind to say anything to these people. They were all stubborn elements who just wanted more compensation. Now that they were willing to sign, it wasn't because they knew they were wrong, but because Wang Zhixing had been transferred and they were scared.
The signing went very smoothly, and the relocation of the four households was completed in less than ten minutes.
Zhou Jianzhong handed the demolition contract to Li Xiuyuan, who didn't even look at it before passing it to Zhang Yaozong, who was standing next to him, to keep it. Then, his gaze swept over the four households, and he slowly said, "Since you've signed the contract, it doesn't matter if it involves land acquisition, but if it involves demolition, move out in the next two days. If you encounter any difficulties, I estimate you can handle them yourselves."
