In name only: In the name of Zhao Mengsheng's son!

Upon hearing this, Sha Ruijin remained silent, but seeing Chen Yanshi's distressed expression, he waved his hand dismissively.

"Comrade Zheng Xipo, right? Let's go outside to talk; Old Chen is a bit tired!"

Just as Sha Ruijin finished speaking, Wang Fuzhen arrived. Sha Ruijin greeted Wang Fuzhen, and Liu went out.

Zheng Xipo, eager to make his fortune, quickly followed, but Secretary Bai pulled him back!

"Comrade Zheng, please speak properly later and don't exaggerate!"

Secretary Bai was instructing Zheng Xipo to be careful with his words, but Zheng Xipo didn't care. Why wouldn't he embellish the story? Would that allow Sha Ruijin to deal with Zhao Zhongxin?

So Zheng Xipo ignored Secretary Bai and walked straight out!

"Secretary Sha, let me tell you, this Zhao Zhongxin lacks Party spirit and integrity, and he displays bureaucratic behavior! And also..."

"Wait a minute, Comrade Xipo, you tell us first, how did Zhao Zhongxin exhibit bureaucratic behavior?"

Sha Ruijin interrupted Zheng Xipo. "Zhao Zhongxin has bureaucratic tendencies? How could that be? He's just arrogant, how could he possibly have bureaucratic tendencies?"

"When I handed my business cards to Secretary Gao Yuliang and Zhao Zhongxin, Secretary Gao Yuliang accepted them with both hands, showing no airs whatsoever. But Zhao Zhongxin, sitting on the sofa, didn't even glance at me, and then had his secretary take my business card. What is this if not bureaucratic behavior? Old Chen always said that cadres come from the people and must return to the people sooner or later. If he treats me like this now, what about his subordinates?"

Zheng Xipo's words were spoken with great conviction. Secretary Bai, who was behind him, shook his head upon hearing this. "You can't reason with a stubborn fool! Who do you think you are, Zheng Xipo? It's already a favor that Zhao Zhongxin has given you, that his secretary can accept your business card. And you still say that cadres all come from the people and will eventually return to the people? Only Chen Yanshi could say that. What right do you have to say that?"

"and then?"

Sha Ruijin said expressionlessly! Zheng Xipo thought Sha Ruijin agreed with him, so he continued!

"I won't go into those details!"

Secretary Bai was speechless at Zheng Xipo's words. "You've said everything, and now you're saying you're not going to say anything more."

"Our new Dafeng Factory needed to get a plot of land, industrial land, but he refused to approve it no matter what. He even called Qi Tongwei and said that if anyone dared to approve it, even a bureau-level official would be reported to the provincial party committee for criticism and denunciation. If it was Secretary Sha who wanted to approve it, he would report it to the central government! You tell me, this kind of cadre is so disorganized and undisciplined. When Old Chen heard this, he fainted! If Secretary Gao Yuliang hadn't asked to use his official car, he would have wanted Old Chen to die on the spot!"

Zheng Xipo was furious. After speaking, he looked at Sha Ruijin, hoping that Sha Ruijin would say something like, "Tomorrow I will convene a provincial committee meeting to teach this Zhao Zhongxin a lesson." But Sha Ruijin just looked at him calmly and nodded.

"I see!"

After saying that, Sha Ruijin walked into the ward, and Chen Yanshi said to him!

"Little Jin, you'd better find a way out for the more than a thousand employees at Dafeng Factory!"

Hearing this, Sha Ruijin looked very troubled. He did respect Chen Yanshi, but this matter was indeed difficult. The Zhao family had not yet been brought down, and the task assigned by the organization had not yet been completed. How could land be approved now? Zheng Xipo had just said that Zhao Zhongxin would be the first to disagree!

And frankly speaking, if the land is approved for the sake of just over a thousand of you, how will the 430,000 people of Guangming District explain it? How will the 8 million people of Jingzhou explain it? How will the Provincial Party Committee explain it? Power cannot be used like this! Sha Ruijin has a keen political sense to have reached this point; he would never do something like this!

As if seeing through Sha Ruijin's predicament, and recalling what Zhao Zhongxin had said earlier that day, Chen Yanshi also spoke up: "That's right, land in Guangming District is so expensive now. With six million, I can only buy a plot of land for a toilet."

"How about we get a plot of land in the suburbs? Zhao Zhongxin seemed to have woken me up today too. Land in Guangming District is incredibly valuable; we can't sell it off so cheaply!"

Sometimes, even the best words can't replace a good whip. Although Zhao Zhongxin's words were harsh, they seemed to have awakened Chen Yanshi!

Hearing this, Sha Ruijin breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't in Guangming District, other districts were fine! But Zheng Xipo was dumbfounded. "Wait, Old Chen, why did you change your mind? What would I need land in the suburbs for? To wait for development? It's more like a cemetery!" So he quickly said...

"Old Chen, how can that be? Our Dafeng Factory employees all live in Guangming District, the suburbs? They definitely won't do that. Commuting every day is one thing, they definitely won't pool their money to buy land. They're all over forty years old on average, and they don't know how to do anything else. If we don't get land in Guangming District, they'll be unemployed! What can they do? They can't do anything! Old Chen!"

Zheng Xipo spoke very hastily, saying, "Old Chen, you can't turn against us!" So he revealed all the problems, not for Chen Yanshi's ears, since Chen Yanshi already knew all about them. He was speaking to Sha Ruijin!

Sha Ruijin didn't say anything when he heard this. He hated Zheng Xipo. Secretary Bai saw that the boss didn't want to talk to him, so he thought for a moment and said!

"Comrade Zheng Xipo, that's not quite right. The government has already provided subsidies, so how is commuting inconvenient? Jingzhou has thirteen subway lines, with an operating mileage of over 500 kilometers. It's convenient to go anywhere!"

"Can……"

Zheng Xipo was about to speak when Secretary Bai spoke again!

"Comrade Zheng Xipo, I'll say it again: the land in Guangming District won't be approved!"

Sometimes that's what secretaries do; they can say things that the boss shouldn't say!

This is how Zhao Zhongxin previously had Liu Kun mock Zhao Ruilong.

"Mr. Chen, I..."

Before Zheng Xipo could say anything more, Sha Ruijin spoke up!

"Uncle Chen, you should rest first. I have other things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. Also, you and the employees at Dafeng Factory have already discussed going to the suburbs. I'll ask the Jingzhou Municipal Government to give you a government subsidy!"

Sha Ruijin didn't want to hear what Zheng Xipo had to say. In fact, he knew exactly what Zheng Xipo was thinking, so he wouldn't approve it. In the original story, Li Dakang's scolding of Sun Liancheng was just to give Chen Yanshi an explanation, but in the end, he still didn't approve it.

But now that Qi Tongwei is here, do you expect Li Dakang to go and scold Qi Tongwei again? Impossible. Qi Tongwei is a member of the Handa gang, not a lone wolf like Sun Liancheng. If the Handa gang causes trouble, even his position as provincial party secretary will be in trouble!

Chen Yanshi nodded!

"Alright, Little Gold, you can go ahead and get busy!"

Zheng Xipo was extremely anxious and distressed. Why wouldn't they be granted land? It's government land, why are you so worried? You're not even as good as Ding Yizhen. If Ding Yizhen were still alive, he could definitely buy 20 acres of land for 600 million!
