The gloom of a dozen families has no impact at all on Suzhou, a city with a permanent population of hundreds of thousands.
Saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, with the sound of firecrackers, Yang Baiyi welcomed another New Year in Suzhou.
Jinyun Villa seemed even more lively this year with the addition of Yu Shicheng and Xie Xun.
At the New Year's Eve dinner, Xiao Qingyang raised his glass and once again welcomed Lin Tieshan's family and two old friends.
Yu Shicheng and Xie Xun responded repeatedly. They had benefited a lot and gained a lot from this trip.
Xiao Qingyang's bold and radical development gave the two of them great inspiration, as well as endless strength and confidence.
More importantly, they watched Xiao Fuxing grow up and promised to provide for them in their old age after they retired.
To the two of them, apart from the fact that they are not related by blood, Xiao Fuxing is much closer to them than the ungrateful person they raised with their own hands.
After the Chinese New Year, Lin Tieshan's family and Lao Yu and Lao Xie had to say goodbye and leave because they had to return to work.
After seeing off the three old friends, Xiao Qingyang went to the government agency, and all the heads of the units were there.
A kick-off meeting is held on the first day of resuming work every year, and Xiao Qingyang will put forward work requirements for the new year to the heads of each department.
At the first meeting of this year, Xiao Qingyang emphasized one point, asking all departments to conduct self-inspection and self-correction and resolutely prevent similar incidents from happening again.
Public security comrades acted separately, and government staff were taken away one after another.
"I managed to survive the first day, but I didn't make it to the fifteenth."
The people who participated in the robbery were all very calm. They knew that the time for reckoning had come.
"You can't arrest me. I'm innocent. I know nothing."
"It's unfair! Since I started working, I have always worked hard and conscientiously, and I have never done anything illegal or disorderly!"
…
When they went to other departments or state-owned factories and mines to arrest people, it was not so smooth. They cried and shouted that they were wronged.
"You didn't go that day because you had no legal authority and it was beyond your authority. It doesn't mean that you are honest.
Now that I'm back in the city, I should just work hard. Why would I want to form Qianlongzaiyuan?
There are so many educated youth returning to the city, and you are the ones who stand out? You are organizing a group called "Hidden Dragon in the Abyss". With your few talents, are you really that qualified to be a dragon?
Ignoring their cries and struggles, they were directly thrown into the police car.
All the arrests this time were public, intended to serve as a warning to others.
"Xiao Wang, aren't you also an educated youth who returned to the city this year? Didn't you join this Longyuan organization?"
The police made such a big fuss that after they left, the people present couldn't help but discuss it.
"Section Chief Sun, you must be joking. I've been in the countryside for several years and finally came back. I just want to work hard, find a wife, live a good life, and be filial to my parents.
When they first formed Hidden Dragon in the Abyss, someone approached me to join, but as soon as I heard the name, I immediately declined.”
Seeing the person who was taken away in such a miserable state, Wang Jun felt extremely relieved at this moment.
One thought leads to heaven, one thought leads to hell. Fortunately, he did not get involved at that time, otherwise Wang Jun would definitely be on the arrest list this time.
The vigorous arrest lasted until noon, and not a single one of the more than 200 people in the entire organization was spared.
In the afternoon, all departments held a general meeting to explain the arrest and serve as a wake-up call for everyone.
Working hard to develop the economy and make people's lives better is the general trend in the future. Anyone who dares to take advantage of the opportunity to cause damage will inevitably suffer the most severe blow.
Especially the educated youth who have just returned to the city should cherish this hard-won opportunity, work hard, and not get involved in those fancy things.
After get off work in the afternoon, the educated youth who had escaped the disaster pedaled their bicycles as fast as they could and ran back home as if they were escaping.
"Dad, Mom, thank goodness you stopped me at that time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back today."
It was the sixth day of the first lunar month, in the middle of winter, but Qiao Zhengwang was sweating profusely.
"What's going on?"
Everyone in the Qiao family looked at the embarrassed Qiao Zhengwang, quickly pulled him to sit down, and poured him a glass of water.
"Mom, last year, the educated youth formed an organization called Hidden Dragon in the Abyss. I wanted to join, but you and Dad stopped me. Do you still remember?"
Qiao Zhengwang just took a breath and couldn't wait to speak.
"Of course I remember that. What happened? Did something happen?"
Because of this, the son was at odds with his family for a long time, and the old couple of course still remember it vividly.
"Something's happened, something serious. Before the New Year, they organized a group of more than a dozen people to rob fellow villagers who were setting up stalls. Mayor Xiao personally ordered the arrest of all 200-plus members of the organization."
Qiao Zhengwang looked frightened.
His parents stopped him from joining the Qianlongzaiyuan organization. Other educated youth mocked him for being timid and despised him for being disunited, which made him unable to hold his head up for a long time.
"Are you scared now? Where's the energy you had when you started to fight with us?"
"Son! Your parents will never harm you. Go back to the city and work hard. Doing those useless things will only hurt yourself and others."
The old couple took the opportunity to educate their son.
"Dad, Mom, I really know I was wrong now. An elder in the family is like a treasure. You have more experience than me and are rich in life experience. It is right to listen to you two elders in everything."
In order to resist his parents' wishes, he made a big fuss and even went on a hunger strike for two days, but his parents still refused to give in.
Later, I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it anymore and had no choice but to compromise.
"Second brother, I have found a suitable girl for you in our textile factory. She has good character and looks, and she is the right age for you.
Go out and meet her this weekend, treat her to a meal and a movie."
Qiao Zhengwang's sister-in-law took the opportunity to speak.
"Okay, sister-in-law, thank you for your trouble."
Qiao Zhengwang agreed without hesitation and never mentioned finding a like-minded soul mate again.
I have been working in the countryside for several years and am already 25 years old this year. In this era, I am considered an older bachelor.
Today's arrest woke him up and he stopped having those unrealistic fantasies.
More than 200 people filled two detention centers. This was the first time so many people had been arrested since Xiao Qingyang rehabilitated himself and cleaned up the officialdom four years ago.
"Mayor Xiao, how should this matter be characterized?"
The next day, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, the court, the procuratorate, the public security department, and the main leaders of the public security, procuratorial and judicial systems all sat in a small conference room to discuss the nature of the incident.
This matter can be minor or serious. If it is classified as unfamiliarity with the policy, criticism and education, and the next administrative penalty, the matter can be over.
If it is defined as illegal occupation, highway robbery, and deliberate harassment of the masses, the sentence will be at least several years.
