Chapter 1041: Go with the Flow 4
Feng Qingxue glanced at Secretary Zheng and said, "Didn't you say that Li Chengdong was promoted by the higher-ups? Can you remove him without their consent? If you don't have this power, A Jiang and I will go directly to the Municipal Party Committee to avoid causing trouble for you."
Hearing this, Secretary Zheng and the two township heads and deputy township heads immediately laughed.
"We can't decide on our own about the replacement. We have to report it." Mayor Chen explained carefully, "Li Chengdong's guilt is irrefutable. The people who promoted him will only feel embarrassed. For the sake of their own future, they will definitely not come forward to defend Li Chengdong. Besides, as a county committee member, how can he prove Li Chengdong's innocence?"
Although Village Chief Chen did not explain it clearly, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue understood it instantly.
Secretary Zheng glanced at Mayor Chen and said, "Alright, alright, the situation is so complicated, let's not get involved!"
Village chief Chen smiled and stopped talking, then picked up the enamel jar and took a sip of water.
After swallowing a mouthful of water, he suddenly remembered that Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue came over in the hot weather, and it seemed that they didn't drink a sip of water after entering the door. He hurriedly got up to wash two enamel pots, poured water for them, and handed them to their hands.
"Drink some water, drink some water. Look at my brain. You two should drink some water first and then we can talk slowly."
Seeing that Township Chief Chen was much more enthusiastic towards Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue than Secretary Zheng, Deputy Township Chief Wang couldn't help but glance at him.
Village Chief Chen was unaware of his colleagues' opinions of him. After Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue drank the water, he spoke up, "Comrades, leave the matter of Comrade Feng Shuanzhu being maliciously accused of being a landlord and Li Chengdong insulting a female soldier to us. We will definitely give Comrade Qingxue and Comrade Feng Shuanzhu an explanation."
Feng Qingxue said calmly, "I hope that you comrades will do what you say, and don't let an old man who has worked hard for the Caohu Brigade regret his life! The old leader is most concerned about the living conditions of the people. Whether it is me or my father-in-law and uncle, the old leader always asks the most about the people. To be a teacher of the people, you must first be a student of the people. This is the original words of the old leader, and we have always kept it in mind. As a people's cadre, shouldn't we do it even more?"
The three cadres present suddenly remembered that although Lu Jiang had a high rank, Feng Qingxue had been to the capital and was received by the old leader, while Li Chengdong was simply seeking death.
After the couple said goodbye, Secretary Zheng and the two township heads and deputy heads returned to the office and stared at each other.
Village Chief Chen broke the silence and said, "I said that Li Chengdong was a worthless person. You said at the beginning that he had never seen the world and was just an old country bachelor who only saw the world from a narrow perspective. He was a little arrogant when he succeeded and could not cause any big storms. But now, he has raised a huge wave for us and submerged the boat he was on!"
Secretary Zheng said, "Li Chengdong is just a villain. Isn't it a great joy for the people that he is in trouble? We should seize this opportunity to punish him, otherwise he will think that he can boss us around just because he is a captain! Pah, what a jerk!"
