When Leader Qi saw Xi Lianghong turn around and leave, he snorted and felt very disdainful.
He kept saying he was doing it all for the town's benefit, but he didn't believe Xi Lianghong could be completely selfless.
To judge others by one's own standards.
Anyway, he has it.
When he received this directive from above, Wu An's image flashed through his mind.
Wu An performed exceptionally well during the last inspection tour by county and city leaders.
In addition to what he's doing now, he's more than qualified to be named an outstanding youth in a county.
However, he felt that Xi Lianghong and Wu An were getting very close, so he hesitated at the time.
In addition, his former boss wanted to chat with him, so after much consideration, he reported Shen Nan's name.
This also aligns with his interests.
It also repays Mr. Shen's favor, so it's a win-win situation.
Now that Xi Lianghong is challenging him like this, he is even more convinced that his initial decision was correct.
Even if Xi Lianghong is right and has no ulterior motives, it's still unacceptable to disagree with him!
These thoughts flashed through his mind in the brief moment he picked up the microphone.
Upon hearing the voice of his superior, he quickly composed himself and greeted him with a smile.
"Your application for the county's outstanding youth award has been rejected by higher authorities." The superior bluntly stated, "You should reapply."
Leader Qi's expression changed.
Sensing that his superior's tone was not good, he subconsciously stood up and asked, "What's going on?"
"You're asking me? I'd like to ask you the same thing: have you done your job properly? Are the people who submitted the applications qualified?"
"this……"
Whether this is enough or not is up to them to decide, but it seems quite obvious right now that Shen Nan is not qualified.
This is very unusual.
Previously, even if the candidates did not meet the requirements, most of the time they were turned a blind eye.
Submitting a candidate may seem simple, but the underlying situation is actually quite complex, and it's rare for a candidate to be rejected outright like this.
"You should attach great importance to this task and select candidates based on the principles of fairness, impartiality, and transparency."
"Don't harm others or yourself."
The superior's words were quite blunt and severe.
He quickly reassured them again and again, then cautiously asked, "Has there been any guidance from above?"
The superior coughed and said, "Last time when you accompanied the city leaders, didn't that young man from your town named Wu An perform very well?"
"Also, didn't you read today's newspaper?"
"Is there anyone in Fuyuan Town who meets the standards of an outstanding young person better than him?"
Every word his superior said was a question, indicating that he was quite dissatisfied with the superior.
After all, what does it mean that the higher authorities rejected the candidate?
This shows that his selection of personnel was inaccurate, and that everyone's work was not done properly in the process of submitting the list to the superiors.
Leader Qi quickly said, "I didn't expect him to be so capable."
"It's a good thing that your town has produced such a talented young man."
Yes, yes, yes.
"Of course, I'm just giving you a suggestion; you'll still have to do the actual work."
Hearing his superior say that, Leader Qi understood the situation.
Hang up the phone.
Leader Qi then realized that he was covered in sweat, and a gust of wind made his back feel cold.
The more I think about it, the more frightened I become.
I'm getting angrier and angrier.
Damn it.
Could it be that Wu An's head has become sharpened?
You can't even step on it.
If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have submitted Shen Nan in the first place.
That's good now.
Even if he resubmits the application to Wu An, the favor will not fall on him.
He even suspected that the reason Shen Nan's application was rejected was because Wu An complained to the higher-ups.
Sit down.
After smoking a cigarette, he picked up his briefcase and hurriedly drove away from the town compound.
...
On the other side.
After Ma Weiqun's confession, Chen Laoda's suspicion was basically eliminated.
However, this does not mean he was without fault, since he provided Ma Weiqun with "tools of crime," and was therefore heavily fined.
Old Chen was extremely aggrieved.
He didn't know that Ma Weiqun was involved in this kind of shady business; otherwise, even if he had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to cooperate with Ma Weiqun.
But he had no way to complain.
It was precisely because he didn't know that he was only fined; otherwise, he would never have been released.
After this commotion...
Chen Laoda had just returned home and hadn't even had a sip of water when his family came knocking on his door.
The two types of trawlers owned by the Chen family were purchased through a joint investment by all members of the Chen family.
He is the big boss and in charge of operations.
Before this, the annual dividends given to the clan members were quite good; it was a win-win situation for everyone.
However, after the fishing moratorium ended this year, things went wrong. The trawlers had an accident, and Chen Baosheng was beaten and fined.
The Chen family members who participated in the investment were unhappy.
They felt that Boss Chen was always causing trouble and not making money properly, and they demanded an explanation from him.
Old Master Chen explained earnestly, "Everyone knows what has happened recently, and many of these things were not caused by me."
Then nobody listened to his explanation.
The Chen family came all together this time, frankly speaking, just to cause him trouble.
An elder of the Chen family said, "I think the troubles that have happened to our Chen family recently are all related to Wu An from Xiaoxi Village."
"First it was Chen Long's family, then it was you."
"Now our Chen family has a terrible reputation in the village."
Old Chen nodded repeatedly.
These words really struck a chord with him.
He had offended Wu An in the first place because he was standing up for Chen Long's family. He thought Wu An was just a young man who could be easily manipulated, but unexpectedly, he was the one whose family was now in turmoil.
to be honest.
Old Master Chen was now filled with regret. If he had known better, he wouldn't have helped Chen Longyu's pig-headed son, and perhaps none of this mess would have happened.
The elder glanced at him, then changed the subject: "You still have the nerve to nod?"
"It was you who instigated us to cause trouble in Xiaoxi Village for the sake of Chen Long's family."
"Later, when Lao Fu went to work on Wu An's ship, you also caused trouble for him."
"Later, when your second son was beaten, you also accused Wu An of doing it."
"You tell Ah Shui to cause trouble for the Mei family brat."
"You insisted on taking in Ma Weiqun and his gang, and what happened?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Chen's face turned extremely grim: "Third Uncle, so you think all of this is my fault?"
The elder chuckled angrily: "Otherwise, what do you think I'd talk to you about, coming to your house on a cane?"
Others joined in the conversation.
"It is said that harmony brings wealth. What good can come from repeatedly causing trouble for others?"
"I heard that Wu An is very lucky. If you cause trouble for him, even the Goddess Mazu won't forgive you."
Chen was already overwhelmed with problems, and now his own family was causing him trouble, with everyone criticizing him.
It exploded on the spot.
What was supposed to be a pleasant meeting almost escalated into a fight.
After this incident, the Chen family members became demoralized and demanded to disband.
Old Master Chen had no choice but to agree.
He originally had enough money to buy all the trawlers, but after these two incidents, his savings were depleted, and he no longer had the money to buy them.
After everyone discussed it, the clan elder finally made the decision: "Sell the boat."
Logically speaking, Elder Chen should have absolute control over the trawlers, and no one should be allowed to sell them unless he wants to. However, in their case, the clan is the most powerful.
Now that things have come to this, he dares not disobey.
So here's the problem: finding someone to take over the trawler isn't so easy all of a sudden.
Who should we sell this trawler to?
