It's not that you can't make a scene at the local industrial and commercial bureau, but that's only if you're in the right. If you are in the right, making a scene will make the other party afraid of things escalating, and they'll relax their guard where necessary.
But they're not in the right now, they're acting strangely, and making a scene won't help; it will only make things worse and harder to handle.
"I've heard that this operation wasn't just targeting our family. Many agricultural supply stores throughout the town were investigated, including those unlicensed vendors in the villages. Not a single one of them escaped."
"The same goes for the county; this is a county-wide special campaign..." Zhang Yucai has been working in the agricultural supplies, seeds, and fertilizers industry for quite some time and knows many of his colleagues in the county. They all say that this special inspection is very thorough and resolute, and no connections will help.
No one dared to show favoritism.
"So what do we do now?" Zhang Zhihao said helplessly. With the entire county taking action, going to the Industry and Commerce Bureau was useless. Moreover, upon hearing about the county-wide action, he immediately stopped being angry. That's just how people are; they are not worried about scarcity but about inequality.
Other companies have also investigated, so I'll just accept it.
"Sigh, what can we do? There's no good way, we can only wait. Xiu Yuan reminded us a long time ago, but we just didn't take it seriously." Zhang Yucai sighed, remembering Li Xiu Yuan's reminder earlier.
"Sigh, if only I had paid more attention back then, things wouldn't have turned out like this."
Zhang Zhihao recalled that he had thought Li Xiuyuan was just saying it casually, but he didn't expect that Li Xiuyuan was reminding him in advance. He couldn't help but say, "Xiuyuan didn't explain clearly at the time, he only mentioned the business license."
"How much clearer could they have been? They only mentioned it once, we should have been more cautious, but unfortunately we didn't think much of it at the time," Zhang Yucai said helplessly.
Zhang Zhihao thought for a moment and looked at his father, saying, "Dad, how about this, I'll go find Xiuyuan and ask him about the situation?"
“We definitely need to ask, but don’t rush. Here’s what we’ll do: this afternoon, call Xiuyuan and invite him over for dinner. That way, we can gather some information before evening and see what to do,” Zhang Yucai said.
Zhang Zhihao nodded in agreement.
At the town government, Li Xiuyuan didn't go to Meilin Village in the morning. Around noon, he called Zhang Xingdong and invited him to lunch.
At noon, Li Xiuyuan and Zhang Xingdong sat in a private room at a restaurant in town. Li Xiuyuan looked at Zhang Xingdong and briefly explained what Zhang Xingguo had asked him about that morning.
“I suspect that Secretary Zhang wants to get involved in the second phase of the project. We have to be careful,” Li Xiuyuan said, looking at Zhang Xingdong.
Zhang Xingdong nodded: "Yes, Mayor Li, we do need to be careful about this, but as long as we have Mayor Hou's support, there shouldn't be any problems."
“Well, I arranged to meet with Wang Yonghua this afternoon to hint to him that he should talk to Mayor Hou privately. But besides Mayor Hou’s support, we still need to make other preparations. We can’t put all our hopes on others. What do you think?” Li Xiuyuan said.
If Hou Peng supports it, he will have three votes at the town party committee meeting; if Lu Zhenhai supports it, he will have four votes, which would be a sure thing. But all of this is based on Hou Peng's support.
