Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 435: Silenced

As the saying goes, enemies become jealous of each other when they meet!
When Zheng Kaitao walked into the director's office and saw Li Guoqiang and others, he was stunned for a moment, and then soon revealed a very proud smile.

"Wow! Isn't this Li Guoqiang from Jinshanbao in Chang County? I was thinking of taking some time over here in the next two days to take over the apiary! I didn't expect you guys to be so proactive and actually come here on your own initiative."

As he said this, he walked up to Li Guoqiang, as if he wanted to look down at Li Guoqiang.

However, he forgot for a moment that he was shorter than Li Guoqiang.

At this point, not to mention looking down, even looking straight ahead is impossible.

Fortunately, he suddenly had an idea and immediately put on the attitude of a superior leader, then stretched out his hand and wanted to pat Li Guoqiang on the shoulder.

However, before his hand touched Li Guoqiang, Li Guoqiang had quietly moved his feet, causing him to slap the air.

Seeing this situation, he was slightly stunned, and just as he was about to explode, he heard Li Guoqiang's slightly indifferent voice.

"Sorry! We are sorry to disappoint you. We came here to inform the city leaders that the apiary has been closed down."

"Revoke?"

Hearing Li Guoqiang's words, Zheng Kaitao's eyes suddenly widened, and then he angrily accused: "You are so bold, who allowed you to close the bee farm? You are openly disobeying orders, do you know?"

As he spoke, he saw Li Guoqiang and the others, all of whom looked like they didn't care. He immediately became furious, and then quickly turned his head to look at Li Chunyang, like a bullied child, and then started to complain: "Director Li, look at them, they are simply doing whatever they want, you must punish them severely!"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang did not react, but Xu Yuliang, Xu Yu'an and others all showed a hint of fear.

After all, the people should not fight against the officials. This is a truth that has been passed down for thousands of years. Especially now, the people in front of them are the leaders of the city, who are several levels apart from them.

If it weren't for the apiary, they probably would never have the chance to be in the same room with such a high-ranking official in their lifetime.

Just when they were a little worried that Li Chunyang would listen to Zheng Kaitao and punish them, Li Chunyang's face darkened, and then he waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't worry. Even if you want to punish them, you have to figure out the situation first."

After saying that, he didn't care about Zheng Kaitao's suddenly ugly expression, and directly looked at Li Guoqiang's face, feeling a little surprised in his heart.

Originally, he thought that among the people in Jinshanbao, it was the captain Xu Yuliang who was in charge.

However, after what happened just now, he finally realized that the person who really made the decision was Comrade Li Guoqiang.

In this case, he did not want to beat around the bush and asked Li Guoqiang directly: "Comrade Li Guoqiang, now tell me! What is going on?"

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang nodded without hesitation and said, "In fact, before our production team received the document issued by your company, we had to cancel the apiary due to some issues.

So we came here this time to explain this matter clearly to your company and the municipal government to avoid misunderstandings, such as the misunderstanding that Section Chief Zheng had just made about us. "

Having said that, he glanced at Zheng Kaitao indifferently, which made him so angry that his teeth were itching.

Then he continued, "Among them, all the villagers' voting documents and the commune's approval documents have been brought here by us. If Director Li doesn't believe it, you can check it on the spot."

After saying that, he gave Xu Yuliang a look.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yuliang reacted immediately, then hurriedly took a few steps forward and handed all the documents in his hands to Li Chunyang.

Li Chunyang did not say anything about this. He silently took the document, put it on his desk and looked through it carefully.

Soon, he found that what Li Guoqiang said was true, and all the procedures were very complete. Even if he wanted to find some faults, he didn't know where to start.

So, he thought about it, gently put down the document, and then asked with some doubt: "As far as I know, your Jinshanbao Bee Farm made a lot of money for the villagers at the end of last year. Why did you cancel the bee farm?

Could it be that you just don't want to hand over the apiary to the city?"

"no!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang immediately shook his head and said seriously, "You misunderstood. The reason why we closed the apiary was because a very serious disease occurred in the autumn and winter of last year, which almost destroyed the entire apiary."

"Oh? Is there anything else?"

When Li Chunyang heard what Li Guoqiang said, he couldn't help but frowned, and then his eyes swept across Zheng Kaitao's face like a knife.

When Zheng Kaitao saw this, a layer of cold sweat immediately seeped out of his forehead. He then quickly pointed his finger at Li Guoqiang and asked loudly, "You are talking nonsense. If this is true, then why didn't I hear any news about this when I was in Chang County before?"

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang chuckled, then said in a teasing tone: "Chief Zheng, what you said is really unreasonable. Chang County is dozens of miles away from our Jinshan Fort. Isn't it normal that you don't know about this?

Besides, as the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public, and the leaders of Chang County are planning to vigorously promote the apiary. If they spread the news that our Jinshanbao apiary was almost destroyed due to a disease, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face of the county leaders?"

"This"

When Zheng Kaitao heard these words, he was immediately speechless.

Afterwards, he felt very regretful in his heart, regretting why he didn't ask someone to keep a close eye on the Jinshanbao Bee Farm, so that such a big mistake would not have happened.

correct!

At this moment, he never thought that all this was a big drama staged by Li Guoqiang and the villagers of Jinshanbao. He just felt that he had not figured out the situation before, so he failed.

However, Li Chunyang was very keen to hear the key point from Li Guoqiang's words, and then he quickly asked: "Since you know that the leaders of Chang County want to promote the bee farm, how dare you cancel the bee farm?"

“It’s not a question of whether we dare or not!”

When Li Guoqiang heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "This is really because we have no choice!
You should have heard me say just now that there was a disease in the apiary before, which almost killed all the bees.

If the apiary continues to develop along its previous path, it would be disastrous if a disease strikes again one day.

Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation, we can only decide to close the apiary and distribute the bees to each household for breeding. "As soon as these words came out, both Li Chunyang and Zheng Kaitao immediately understood the real purpose of Jinshanbao's closing of the apiary.

Then, before Li Chunyang could say anything, Zheng Kaitao couldn't help but say, "Li Guoqiang, no wonder I always felt something was wrong! It turns out you guys were secretly plotting something!

Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the city's leaders?"

"Chief Zheng!"

Li Guoqiang frowned when he heard this, and then said with some displeasure: "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. We have just reported the true situation, and all the documents are on Director Li's desk.

You said we were doing it secretly, where is the evidence?

Moreover, have you ever thought about this? Even if the city takes over the apiary, and if a large-scale disease occurs and all the bees die, who will be responsible for it? Will it be you?"

"I"

When Zheng Kaitao heard this, he was so scared that he shrank his neck, then stammered, not knowing what to say.

At the same time, Li Chunyang, who was originally angry about Li Guoqiang's real plan, was also silenced by his words.

Originally, when he heard that the Jinshanbao Bee Farm would be able to bring hundreds of yuan in income to each villager after just one year of development, he agreed without hesitation and asked Zheng Kaitao to issue the documents and send them to Jinshanbao.

His purpose is to put the big golden peach of Jinshanbao Bee Farm into his own pocket, and then use it to achieve some results and thus climb up.

However, he had never imagined that there was such a huge risk involved.

If the situation is really as Li Guoqiang said, and a disease comes and kills all the bees, then he will not only be branded as a thief, but he will also never be able to make further progress in the future.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glared at Zheng Kaitao in annoyance, then forced a smile, waved his hand and said: "Comrade Li Guoqiang, don't worry, I don't think Chief Zheng means that.

Since you have already cancelled the apiary, explained the situation, and followed legal and compliant procedures, the document I sent to you before will be invalidated!"

"Okay, thank you Director Li for understanding!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang nodded quickly and expressed his gratitude.

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then continued, "However, I would like to trouble you to introduce the city leaders to us."

"Recommend city leaders?"

When Li Chunyang heard Li Guoqiang's request, he couldn't help but feel a little confused for a moment, and then hurriedly asked: "Why do you want to see the city leaders?"

"because."

Li Guoqiang first glanced at Zheng Kaitao, then explained softly: "The city has sent a document to our county, asking the county to hand over the apiary project, so we must explain it to the city leaders in person."

Hearing this, Li Chunyang's heart trembled slightly, then he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly turned to look at Zheng Kaitao.

Seeing this, Zheng Kaitao couldn't help but lower his head guiltily, not daring to look at Li Chunyang.

When Li Chunyang saw Zheng Kaitao like this, how could he not understand that he was being used as a gun? A surge of anger suddenly surged in his heart and his face became a little ugly.

If it weren't for the fact that Zheng Kaitao's brother-in-law was a city leader, he would probably have wanted to send Zheng Kaitao directly to clean toilets.

Fortunately, his psychological quality was still good, and he quickly suppressed his anger. Then he nodded to Li Guoqiang and said, "Okay, I'll call the mayor and report the situation to see if he has the time to see you!"

After saying that, he immediately picked up the phone on the table.

Seeing this, Zheng Kaitao moved his lips slightly, as if he wanted to open his mouth to stop him.

However, he changed his mind and thought about the diseases that Li Guoqiang mentioned, as well as the various difficulties he had encountered when he was responsible for digging beehives in the mountains in Chang County. He found it difficult to open his mouth.

After all, even if he could stop them and successfully take over the Jinshanbao Bee Farm, he did not have the ability to guarantee the development of the bee farm.

If anything goes wrong at that time, he will face the accountability of the city leadership team, and even if his brother-in-law is also one of the city leaders, there will be no way to save him.

Soon, Li Chunyang explained the situation to the mayor on the phone, and then, under the mayor's instructions, he immediately took Li Guoqiang and others to the municipal government, and did not forget to call Zheng Kaitao, who wanted to find an excuse to slip away.

Just like that, not long after, Li Guoqiang, Xu Yuliang and others successfully met with Cui Zhengshan, the helmsman of the municipal government, and then repeated what they had said to Li Chunyang before.

At the same time, Cui Zhengshan also learned from the municipal government office that the document sent to Chang County was arranged by Zheng Kaitao's brother-in-law, Deputy Mayor He Anshun.

Therefore, after listening to Li Guoqiang's report, he felt angry.

You have to know that he is the head of the municipal government, and He Anshun actually dared to hide it from him and caused such a big incident.

Although He Anshun has every right to do so given his position, doing so would be tantamount to completely ignoring him.

If He Anshun really succeeds in this matter, wouldn't he have to give way to He Anshun?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and then he said to Li Guoqiang, Xu Yuliang and others with a serious face: "Comrades in Jinshanbao, don't worry, I will give you an explanation for this matter.

Also, since you have decided to distribute bees to every household for breeding, then do it well. If you encounter any difficulties, come to me and I can help you find a solution. "

The implication is that Li Guoqiang and others don't have to worry about He Anshun in the future.

"Okay, thank you, Mayor!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang nodded quickly and expressed his gratitude.

Afterwards, he and Xu Yuliang and others, under the arrangement of Cui Zhengshan, went to stay in the city guesthouse and waited to return to Jinshanbao early the next morning.

After sending Li Guoqiang and others away, Cui Zhengshan immediately asked someone to call He Anshun over, ready to give him a good beating.
