Inside the village office of the guidance team, Li Xiuyuan looked at the courtyard where five households, led by Wang Yongde, were still discussing something. Although he couldn't hear what Wang Yongde and the others were talking about, it was clear that they still had no intention of signing the contract.
However, Li Xiuyuan didn't care. A total of 113 households were involved in the demolition and relocation. If everyone else had signed the agreement, only five households would remain. That would mean that the majority of the work was done, and the demolition and relocation work would be basically completed.
These five households need to be dealt with one by one, which involves relevant leaders. This is actually the most troublesome thing for Li Xiuyuan. But fortunately, the leader, Wang Yongde, is a relative who is really unfortunate.
It happened to be Wang Zhixing.
Li Xiuyuan would have a headache if his relative was a bureau chief or someone in the county. After all, it's best not to offend anyone, because if you offend someone today, they might cause you trouble someday.
Within the system, the emphasis is on mutual respect and favors; everyone is expected to help each other out.
But Wang Zhixing was different. Ever since Li Xiuyuan came to the central town, Wang Zhixing had been opposing him.
Of course, Wang Zhixing wasn't the only one who opposed him. He and Hou Peng hadn't gotten along before, but now they were on good terms. The problem was, Hou Peng was the town mayor, a section chief.
There is still a possibility of turning hostility into friendship. You, Wang Zhixing, are just a deputy section-level cadre. If you do the right thing, you will die.
The saying "no fight, no friendship" applies only when both sides are evenly matched. If someone kills you in one blow, then what's the point of the saying "no fight, no friendship"?
Li Xiuyuan pondered to himself, but he wasn't in a hurry about the remaining five households. Now that most of them had signed contracts, the most important thing was to go through the public bidding process.
Before lunch, Zhou Jianzhong, Zhang Xingdong, and others came to report that a total of 21 households had signed agreements in the morning. Currently, Meilin Village involves demolition and land acquisition, totaling 113 households, of which 108 have been completed.
Only five households remain to be completed.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and nodded. After lunch, he convened a meeting of the guidance group. At the meeting, Li Xiuyuan announced that the current work focus would shift from demolition mobilization to open bidding.
Of course, Li Xiuyuan didn't just give up on the remaining five households. He handed them over to Zhou Jianzhong and others, asking them, as village officials, to mobilize them.
However, Li Xiuyuan was also prepared for the worst: if these five households insisted on not relocating, he would modify the planning map and bypass them.
These five families are different from those petty thugs; they all have connections. It's not a matter of whether they're afraid or not, so Li Xiuyuan certainly won't resort to force. Petty thugs are easy to deal with.
However, if someone hasn't committed any crimes and still has connections, using harsh methods to deal with them can easily leave them vulnerable.
It's not worth getting your hands dirty for the sake of a few households.
After the meeting, Li Xiuyuan was about to return to the central town, but he received a message from Su Ziying asking what happened last night.
Li Xiuyuan knew that Su Ziying probably found out about what happened last night from other people, and that it couldn't be kept secret any longer. He didn't say much in the morning, not because he wanted to hide it from Su Ziying, but because he brought it up himself, making it seem like he was complaining.
