This is no small matter right now.
Since one utility pole has a problem, it's hard to guarantee that the others won't have problems. If they all have problems, then...
He felt a chill run down his spine; this was going to blow up big time.
I remember hearing before that the utility poles here came from Dongyuan Town next door. It is said that the factory was originally a state-owned factory, but it was later privatized. It is considered one of the more famous state-owned enterprises in Qingcheng.
Every time Wang Tianxiao went to the city, he could see this company from afar on the provincial highway. Its thick, tall chimneys pierced the sky, constantly billowing thick smoke.
This is because environmental protection wasn't valued much in this era; if it were in later times, they would be forced to shut down in no time.
There are also people in the village who burn cement at the cement factory. I heard it's not easy to get in, but they can earn fifty or sixty yuan a month, which makes others very envious. They think this job is like a secure job.
Wang Tianxiao would occasionally think of this factory before, and he remembered that it didn't seem to have much of a name in later generations. It was probably closed down for various reasons when he was working in another city, and he missed the development of the real estate industry. Otherwise, he would have made a fortune.
Thinking of real estate, he quickly thought of Zhang Wenyuan again.
Since Zhang Wenyuan caught the wave of the real estate boom, isn't this cement factory a very interesting place...?
Unbeknownst to Wang Tianxiao, his brain was racing again.
Just then, a familiar figure rode a bicycle down the main road.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be village chief Liu Jiqing.
After his wife was hospitalized and used up all of Liu Xiangrui's tractor, he moved to the mountains and never saw Liu Xiangrui again.
Liu Xiangrui also saw Wang Tianxiao standing in the field from afar, got out of the car, and waved to him.
Wang Tianxiao walked over.
"Tianxiao, what brings you to the village today?" Liu Xiangrui tried to maintain a calm and composed demeanor, but after several attempts, he couldn't manage a smile.
Wang Tianxiao knew he was in a bad mood, and said with a wry smile, "Village chief, no one could have predicted this, there's no use in worrying."
"What kind of mess is this? These unscrupulous factories made us lousy telephone poles! They're completely substandard, causing trouble and delays, and now they've even hurt Captain Da Bao..."
Liu Xiangrui became increasingly agitated as he spoke, and he beat his chest and stamped his feet in frustration.
"Well... since that's the case, have you told everyone to stop? In the face of something like this, we definitely can't continue using these utility poles. This is no joke. If they suddenly break after being planted, all the high-voltage lines will collapse, and the consequences would be unimaginable."
"That's right. Look at the mess this has made. I've already stopped everyone. I also discussed it with the leaders of the power supply station this morning and decided to temporarily halt the project. I've also reported it to Secretary Zhao, and he agreed to do so. He will arrange for someone to cooperate with us and the power supply station to handle this matter. Now there are counterfeit and substandard utility poles, the project has been suspended, and people have been injured. This is not something our village can handle."
The "Secretary Zhao" that Liu Jiqing mentioned refers to Zhao Yunxiang, the town's Party Secretary.
Wang Tianxiao was also quite familiar with Zhao Yunxiang.
This guy is no good.
In their past life, Wang Tianxiao and Wang Tianxin had a conflict. Wang Tianxiao was honest back then and tried to find someone everywhere to resolve the issue, but to no avail. Finally, he came to the town government compound. Zhao Yunxiang, because of Wang Tianzhong, kept trying to smooth things over and lacked the responsibility of a leader.
Given his condition, the police station naturally didn't dare to do anything. The police station was under the jurisdiction of the Public Security Bureau, and if there was nothing else to do in the town, they wouldn't have time to care about the people's affairs.
Therefore, when Wang Tianxiao heard the title "Secretary Zhao" in this life, he smiled contemptuously.
"Alright, if you need anything, just let me know."
Upon hearing Wang Tianxiao's words, Liu Jiqing recalled something and exclaimed, "Tianxiao, I never thought you'd become so successful. I've heard Dabao mention how you helped the villagers pay their expenses. It's truly admirable that you still think of your fellow villagers even after you've improved your own life. It's rare to see such a person."
"Not at all. It's my duty to do something for the team. Besides, I need to get the power connected anyway. If things don't go smoothly, none of us will be able to make a living."
"That's true, but you didn't need to worry about these things in the first place."
"Haha, we made it just in time!"
"I never realized you were such a broad-minded young man," Liu Jiqing exclaimed with satisfaction. "Good. The village remembers all the contributions you've made to its development. If you ever need any help in the future, just come to me, and I'll definitely help you."
"Haha, definitely, definitely, I won't be polite then."
"Alright, you go ahead with your work. I need to check other places to make sure nothing else goes wrong. Injuring Da Bao has already terrified me. If another person gets hurt, how can I still have the face to be the village chief?"
"Okay, I'll go to the hospital to see Brother Da Bao."
"good."
After the two separated, Wang Tianxiao rode to the hospital, only to find that Wang Dabao had been moved to a regular ward. Upon further inquiry, he learned that because the ground was relatively soft and had a cushioning effect, Wang Dabao's leg injury was much less severe than he had imagined. It was just some soft tissue contusions, and there were no major problems with the bones.
It was a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune.
Wang Dabao's wife, who had been enduring the situation, greeted Wang Tianxiao as he entered and then left.
Wang Tianxiao sat down next to him, handed Wang Dabao a banana, and said with a wry smile, "I never expected something like this to happen. It's truly an unexpected disaster."
Wang Dabao was both laughing and crying: "I knew it! Who knew something like this would happen? That damn cement factory cut corners and made such shoddy stuff. If I hadn't pushed him away, it would have hit him on the head, and it might have even killed him."
