Wei Ming looked at the group of people staring angrily at him, feeling utterly overwhelmed. He was filled with hatred for Zhang Qinghua, wishing he could kill him with a hoe.
If he hadn't been so talkative, the matter would have been resolved long ago.
But even with a big head, there was nothing he could do. Looking at the people below, he could only force a fake smile, and it was a forced smile at that.
"Hehe... I only just mentioned the beginning; I haven't even talked about the rest yet. This young man is just too impatient," Wei Ming said with a smirk, a sinister glint in his eyes.
Zhang Qinghua pursed his lips and looked at Wei Ming, ignoring the look in his eyes. He simply sat down in silence, wanting to hear what solution Wei Ming could come up with.
Wei Ming had originally hoped that Li Weiguo or Yang Weimin would come forward and offer to accept a punishment of 9, but to his surprise, no one spoke up.
He was angry, but also helplessly knew that if he didn't give a clear explanation, the day wouldn't pass so easily.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "How about this, we'll release everyone we arrested in your village, and then we'll compensate each household for the damages."
"There are also so many innocent people, we will comfort them and apologize to them, I don't know if that's okay?" As he spoke, Wei Ming wanted to grit his teeth, but in the end, he could only control himself tightly.
After speaking, his eyes were filled with anger, and he glared at the people sitting below.
Zhang Qinghua's lips curled into a sneer, inwardly disdainful, but he also knew that this was the biggest concession Wei Ming could make.
Seeing Li Weiguo looking over, Zhang Qinghua could only nod without saying a word.
At least there are some gains. At least those who were arrested can be released, which is a good thing for every household.
"Alright, since Director Wei says so, then let's do it that way." Li Weiguo said in a deep voice after seeing Zhang Qinghua nod.
“However, Director Wei, you should still keep a closer eye on your subordinates in the future. If things continue like this, we can’t guarantee that everyone won’t hold grudges. So please keep that in mind, Director Wei.” Suddenly, Yang Weimin, who had been silent all along, spoke up, and the content of his words made Zhang Qinghua give him a thumbs up in his heart.
That's brilliant! It's practically saying that if there are any more Red Guards making such a big fuss in the future, everyone will settle all old scores together!
"After all, this incident has caused quite a stir, and we can't stop everyone from harboring resentment. We can only try our best to persuade them." Yang Weimin said with a bitter face.
Ideological work is difficult, especially with so many families involved; just thinking about it makes me anxious.
However, Wei Ming misunderstood, thinking that Yang Weimin was just putting on an act and deliberately showing such an expression.
However, what they said is also true; such things can happen. But if the work is done properly, such things will never happen.
So, Yang Weimin was threatening him, but he had no choice but to accept it.
Finally, with a grim expression, he nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder. I will keep a close eye on my men."
However, I felt nauseous, like I had swallowed a fly. I couldn't swallow it or spit it out; it just made me feel disgusted.
So even after they got outside, Wei Ming's face was still sour, almost as if it were about to unleash a storm.
As soon as she stepped outside, Luo Juan greeted her, "Director." As the team leader, she had to step forward first.
"Get out of here first." Wei Ming glanced coldly at Luo Juan before walking forward, harboring resentment towards her.
This person is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. They can't even handle such a small matter; they're utterly useless.
She actually made things so out of control that he had to clean up the mess himself. What use is she?
At this moment, all of Wei Ming's previous appreciation and praise for Luo Juan disappeared, leaving only resentment and anger towards her.
Hmph, let's deal with the outside matters first. Once these are resolved, we'll teach this bitch a lesson.
Thinking this, Wei Ming stood in front of the Red Guards in the courtyard, looking at them with a serious expression.
"Do you realize you've made a mistake? I encourage you to work hard, but not to overdo it."
“You have already caused harm to Hongqi Village. Go out and apologize to the villagers, and then release all the people you arrested,” Wei Ming said expressionlessly.
The people in front of him were all his own trusted confidants. He didn't believe Luo Juan would be so heartless as to harm the people in his own village, which was why he sent his own men.
Unexpectedly, he almost made a huge mess of things and nearly got into trouble.
Now, seeing that they were also in a bad mood, Wei Ming's expression wouldn't be very good either, and his tone was just commanding.
However, these people were all Wei Ming's men, so they obeyed his words. Although many of them were resentful, they could only go out and apologize silently in the face of Wei Ming's cold demeanor.
And so, what Song Lili, who was waiting outside, was a group of Red Guards coming out and apologizing to everyone.
Although there was resentment and unwillingness in his tone, and even his voice was soft, he apologized in the end, didn't he?
This is like being slapped hard across the face; it not only hurts, but it's also humiliating.
This made the Red Guards, who had enjoyed immense prestige in the past year or two, feel aggrieved, insulted, and trampled upon, yet they still had to apologize.
Since the leader said that an apology was required, then an apology was necessary.
The villagers are all quite simple and honest; their anger stems from their own misfortune.
Now that they've apologized and will compensate for the family's losses, I've forgiven them and won't hold it against them anymore.
Once both parties reached a consensus, things became much easier: calculate the cost of the damaged items and then pay compensation.
Those who had been locked up in the cowshed and recently arrested were all released, and among them, Song Lili saw Xu Youcai.
He was lucky enough to be released this time, but Xu Youcai couldn't be happy about it.
Even if he gets out now, she'll make him go back in. Don't think you can escape like that.
Song Lili looked at Xu Youcai, and then she noticed that Luo Juan was also looking at Xu Youcai. In her eyes, there seemed to be hatred and malice.
She gave a cold smile. It seemed that some things didn't require her to do them personally. Some people hated Xu Youcai even more than she did.
Then she'll just wait quietly, wait for Xu Youcai to have another stroke of bad luck, and wait to see these two fight like dogs.
That scene must be amazing, right? I really look forward to seeing it.
In the end, Wei Ming brought money from the town and distributed it to every household, satisfying everyone, and only then was the matter considered closed.
Those who had been arrested were released, Zhang Qingguo was also released, and Gu Shi, whom Song Yongren was worried about, was also released.
