Fang Ren paused after speaking, took a deep sip of tea, looked at Feng Yuxing, and said with a smile:
"Old Ou heard that our Zhouxi City has a bold and enterprising young mayor. He admires him very much and said that if there is a chance, he would like to have tea and chat with the mayor!"
"Oh! So, Fang Ren is here to act as a lead for Ou Liangchang!" Feng Yuxing's mind raced, "Well, it wouldn't be a bad idea to meet this Ou Liangchang, maybe he knows more about Yuan Xi!
Especially when it comes to matters of interest, since he was once a provincial-level official, he must know more than Mou Minmu and the others.”
"Oh! If Comrade Ou Liangchang has such an idea, then I'm honored. Alas! Coming to Yuanxi, being the mayor of this Zhouxi, I'm a bit clueless. Chatting with the seniors will only benefit me!"
Feng Yuxing put on a cheerful expression and said, "Let Mr. Ou decide the date. When the time comes, call me and let me know!"
"Then I would like to thank the mayor on behalf of Mr. Ou for his kindness, which allowed me to enjoy the sense of accomplishment of this appointment..." Fang Ren said happily, but before he finished his words, his secretary Gogu pushed the door open.
Under normal circumstances, when the mayor is listening to reports inside, his secretary will not come in to disturb him. Even if someone comes to visit, he will keep them out.
Now he came in straight away, it must be an urgent matter.
"Something went wrong. The call was from Secretary Zhu of the Chunjiang County Party Committee!" Ge Gu said as he handed the phone to Feng Yuxing.
At this time, Fang Ren had achieved his goal. Seeing Feng Yuxing was about to answer the phone, he stood up to say goodbye. Feng Yuxing pointed at the sofa with his right hand and told him not to leave yet, so he had no choice but to sit down.
"Comrade Zhu Yi, is there an urgent matter?" Feng Yuxing answered the phone without leaving the office, but went to the balcony to answer the phone.
"Mayor, our Chunjiang County government owes them construction fees. Our two branches, Zhouxi Ming Construction and Yuanyuan Landscaping, are planning to cause trouble at the city government, and they're even carrying banners!"
Zhu Hao said anxiously, "Do you want me to send the police to stop them?"
When Feng Yuxing went to Chunjiang County, he told him in person that if the two companies wanted to collect debts, they should come to the municipal government. Therefore, Zhu Hao had to ask Feng Yuxing for instructions first.
“No, let them come. Besides, you can’t stop them. They actually came from Chunjiang County to Zhouxi City to cause trouble, which proves that they are well prepared.
Also, do you think the police can carry out your orders 100%? Think about it carefully!"
Feng Yuxing said calmly, but he was angry in his heart.
He knew that the other party would definitely cause trouble, but he didn't know how. Now it seemed that they were using debt as an excuse to besiege the city government and target him. It was obvious.
What angered him was not this, but the fact that the Chunjiang County Police Department had been taken over by someone. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the two companies to rush directly to Zhouxi so openly, and in such large numbers.
In other words, the Chunjiang police will not stop them.
"Mayor, I know what to do!" Zhu Hao said in a deep voice.
Feng Yuxing had just hung up the phone with Zhu Hao when his own phone rang again. It was the city police chief Mou Minmu calling.
"Hello, Comrade Minmu!" Feng Yuxing was still angry at the moment, and tried to keep his tone as calm as possible.
"Mayor, I got news from Chunjiang County that people from two companies are going to cause trouble at the city government. If I don't send people to arrest them!"
Mou Minmu felt that the situation was urgent and spoke very quickly.
"No need, let them come, welcome their arrival!" Feng Yuxing said calmly.
"Mayor, there are so many of them. They are all managers of their company, as well as their engineering workers!"
Mou Minmu said hurriedly.
If the city government is attacked, the police, as the main force for maintaining social stability, will be judged as dereliction of duty if they fail to stop the attack in time.
"Bring your people to the city government, but don't stop them. They can go wherever they want, but don't let them destroy the city government's property, especially prevent any harm to the city government staff!"
Wind and movement explain the way.
"Okay, Mayor, that's no problem!" Mou Minmu replied calmly.
After Feng Yuxing hung up the phone with Mou Minmu, he returned to the office and sat down with Fang Ren to drink tea.
"Is it serious?" Fang Ren asked Feng Yuxing.
He just saw Feng Yuxing's face was not good when he answered the phone, and there was a hint of cruelty in his eyes. He was curious for a moment and asked casually.
"It's a bit bad, and since you're here, let's wait together!"
Feng Yuxing said lightly.
"Something bad? As someone who manages the finances, how can I share his worries? Is it related to money?" Fang Ren became more and more curious.
"Well, it's about money! There are two companies in our city, Zhouximing Construction and Yuanyuan Greening, and their branches in Chunjiang County are coming here to cause trouble;
When Comrade Yi Gurong was the county magistrate and county party secretary, he owed them over 4 billion yuan in project fees. You know this! He probably still hasn't paid back half of it, and it's all for these project fees!"
Feng Yuxing spoke in a calm tone, as if they didn't care much about these debts.
"Oh! I know about this. Lin Kefu, the Finance Director of Chunjiang County, always sighed and lamented whenever he talked to me. He said that as the Finance Director, he was a god of wealth, but he was a debtor, being chased for debts every day!"
Fang Ren laughed as he spoke.
"Yes! You're right. Comrade Kov has worked hard for you. After so many years, these messed-up accounts must be resolved. We can't leave them to the next person. Let's leave our posts without feeling guilty!"
Feng Yuxing's words still carried a faint smile and calmness, just like a breeze blowing across the lake without a ripple.
He did not show any worry or uneasiness about being the mayor who was burdened with government debt, as if the debt did not exist in his mind at all.
"Mayor, you can't ask me to ask Chunjiang County for help now. The funding gap for our projects is already so large. If you transfer funds to Chunjiang County, all the projects will be ruined.
I have no money to hide, but your reputation will be ruined! "Fang Ren first went to the poor.
"Hey! Why are you so nervous? As the mayor, don't I have a clear idea about this? Don't worry!"
Feng Yuxing said leisurely, "Come, have a cigarette, drink some tea, chat, and wait for them to arrive!"
Fang Ren was a little uneasy. To him, someone attacking the city government had little to do with him, but to Yifeng Yuxing, the hot-blooded young mayor, anything could happen, or maybe it was just an outlet for him to vent his anger.
