Chen Yu was momentarily stunned by Cao Jianping's statement.
He never expected that, amidst this extreme cold and natural disaster, when the people were on the verge of despair, Cao Jianping would make such a shameless statement.
Issuing food for disaster relief requiring approval, otherwise it's considered malicious disaster relief? What kind of absurd logic is that?
"How can you be so unreasonable?" Lin Lele couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward. "This disaster has lasted for so long, and we were the first to come and distribute food. It's one thing for you not to appreciate it, but you also have to accuse us of 'malicious disaster relief'!"
Feng Xinran also frowned and said, "Old District Chief, you know the situation now. The district government is paralyzed, and no one is working. Where are we supposed to find someone to approve things?"
“Young lady, what are you saying? Rules are rules. If you can’t find someone to approve it, you should find a way. If everyone did this, holding major events without reporting them, wouldn’t society be in chaos!” Cao Jianping said earnestly, as if he were standing on the high ground of justice and order. “Moreover, as a large enterprise, your Tianyu Group should set an example by abiding by national laws and regulations and setting a good example for society.”
Just then, a portly middle-aged man stepped out from the crowd. He stared at Feng Xinran with a scrutinizing look and said in a deep voice, "I know you. You're one of Lao Qi's men, aren't you?"
"So what? What are you trying to say?" Feng Xinran said calmly.
"Heh, as a police officer, you're actually colluding with these private capitalists. Director Qi, you really have a keen eye!" The middle-aged man's lips curled into a sarcastic smile, his tone full of disdain and provocation. He deliberately emphasized the words "private capitalists" and "police officer," as if hinting at some unspeakable secret.
"What?" Cao Jianping frowned. "As a police officer, he actually broke the law and colluded with Chen Yu to harass the people. How did Li Xiubai become the district head? And how does Qi Xiaowei manage his subordinates? I think our Anping government really needs a thorough overhaul!"
"I support the old district chief! Humph! Saying he can't find anyone to report, and that our government office is paralyzed, I think he's just making excuses!"
"Yes, since the natural disaster, due to limited conditions, we have been working tirelessly at home every day, yet these few people say they can't find anyone. Isn't that disheartening?"
“I am Wang Zhijian, the director of the Anping Civil Affairs Bureau. I have been working from home these days. You can come to my home to report your disaster relief activities in advance.”
"I am Liu Liang from the Emergency Management Bureau. You can also register with me."
…………
"Look, so many people can give you permission slips, yet you claim you can't find anyone. I bet you didn't even look! This is nothing short of malicious disaster relief!" the old woman said viciously. "You should all be arrested as a warning to others!"
“Since everyone is here, let’s get the approval slips done now,” Lin Lele said.
“Now? Sure, we’re not unreasonable people, but this period is indeed quite special,” Cao Jianping said with a righteous expression.
"Xiao Wang, Xiao Liu, you two go and check if their disaster relief grain is up to standard. If it is, then approve it!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhijian and Liu Liang exchanged a glance, both revealing meaningful smiles. Then, the two joined hands and strode towards the grain piled up beside Chen Yu and the other two.
"Bang bang~"
Two gunshots rang out, and Wang Zhijian and Liu Liang fell to the ground.
The sudden gunshot froze the entire scene. Everyone's gaze turned in astonishment to the two figures lying motionless on the ground, and to Chen Yu, who had somehow produced a pistol. The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and an atmosphere of unease.
"Is there anyone else who needs to help me with the approval?" Chen Yu asked casually.
Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately realized what was happening, and they burst into terrified screams and fled in panic.
Cao Jianping immediately ran towards the stadium gate. Despite his old age and frail appearance, he ran faster than anyone else in this life-or-death situation.
"Get out of my way!" Cao Jianping seemed to have gone mad, running and shouting. Some people who were running slower blocked his way, and he even pushed them aside.
However, running fast is of no use.
While Feng Xinran was arguing with them, Chen Yu had already locked the gymnasium doors.
They ran to the gate, only to find it locked tight, and could only roar in frustration.
Suddenly, Cao Jianping spotted a ping-pong table not far away. His eyes lit up, and he ran over to it.
Originally, this gymnasium did not have a ping-pong table, but he loved playing ping-pong. The staff, sensing his mood, used the public's demands as an excuse to dismantle a piece of sports equipment and put a ping-pong table in its place.
As for why only one is displayed, it's not because the staff is stingy, nor because other people don't like to play this game.
It's simply to highlight the uniqueness of those who participate in this activity.
Despite the fact that there's only one ping-pong table in the huge gymnasium, no one dares to play on it normally.
Because they all knew that this was Cao Jianping's personal pool table.
This gave Cao Jianping a strange sense of superiority, which made him very satisfied.
To this end, he even made a special trip to the government office to promote the stadium director who handled the matter by two ranks.
...
But that's getting off-topic. Let's get back to the scene.
At that moment, Cao Jianping rushed toward the ping-pong table with his eyes shining, as if that was his only hope for survival.
