Traveling through the Great Northern Wilderness and marrying the most beautiful educated youth.

The secretary immediately went out, and soon a middle-aged man walked in, hunched over.

"Secretary Dong!" Sun Yushan greeted.

"Sit down," Dong Guangping gestured.

"Thank you, Secretary." Sun Yushan nodded quickly in thanks, gently resting one side of his buttocks on the chair.

"What do you want with me? Is it related to spring plowing?" Dong Guangping asked in a deep voice.

"That's right! Someone reported that a major event has occurred in Xiaheyan Town Commune!" Director Sun said with an exaggerated expression.

"What's the big deal?" Dong Guangping asked indifferently.

This Sun Yushan, a bureau chief, speaks with such exaggerated words; his competence is mediocre.

Director Sun was unaware that his performance had already subtly negatively impacted Dong Guangping's opinion of him.

He continued, "Some people say that Qiu Tingjiang ruled with his own authority, ordering all the villages under his jurisdiction to grow soybeans. Some villagers disagreed and were even criticized by him!"

"Those village secretaries have a very crude and simplistic work style, which often leads to disputes!"

Sun Yushan looked heartbroken.

"Is that so?" Dong Guangping raised his thick eyebrows slightly.

He had heard Qiu Tingjiang report on the soybean planting once, but he knew nothing about Qiu's autocratic style of governance or the rough handling of the village secretaries.

"Absolutely true!" Sun Yushan perked up even more when he saw Dong Guangping's seriousness.

"Not only that, I've also heard..." Sun Yushan hesitated, then stopped himself from speaking.

"Speak your mind!" Dong Guangping's voice turned serious.

What is Sun Yushan up to? He's not efficient at all.

"I heard that Qiu Tingjiang did this for Su Qingyun! There's a high possibility that they're involved in some kind of conflict of interest!"

Sun Yushan clenched his fists and revealed some "explosive" news.

Based on his understanding of Dong Guangping, he knew that Dong Guangping was a man who wouldn't tolerate any injustice.

If anyone below dares to collude between public and private interests, they will not be let off lightly!

Upon hearing Su Qingyun's name, Dong Guangping paused slightly, then gave Sun Yushan a meaningful look.

At the last Top Ten Outstanding Youth Commendation Conference, Sun Yushan went to the provincial government for a meeting and did not know Su Qingyun.

At the paper mill's opening ceremony, Su Qingyun deliberately kept a low profile and did not make any public appearances.

Therefore, Sun Yushan did not know who Su Qingyun was.

They don't even blink at investments of hundreds of thousands, why would they care about your few acres of land?

That's simply a fantasy.

Can the harvest from all the land in Xiaheyan Town equal the output value of that winery?

Seeing Sun Yushan's instigating behavior, Dong Guangping had an idea.

This person definitely has ulterior motives.

He remained calm and said indifferently, "Tell me in detail."

Seeing that Dong Guangping was interested, Sun Yushan hurriedly said, "I have looked at Su Qingyun's information. He was originally a farmer in Xiangyang Village. After the household responsibility system was implemented, he started a farm."

"I think this is because Lin Xiaowen, the Party Secretary of Xiangyang Village, is his relative!"

Sun Yushan first presented the first layer of the relationship.

Then, he continued, "Lin Xiaowen and Qiu Tingjiang are very close friends. With his help, Qiu Tingjiang promoted Su Qingyun to the commune and made him the head of the agricultural station."

"Then, all the soybean seeds planted in all the villages were provided by Su Qingyun's farm! It's a complete chain!" Sun Yushan exclaimed.

"That's how it happened. Qiu Tingjiang and Su Qingyun colluded to force farmers to plant Su Qingyun's soybean seeds, and they profited from it."

"But what about the farmers? Xiaheyan Town is a major grain-producing area. If the harvest is reduced in the fall, it will affect the overall output of our prefecture!"

"If the provincial government blames us then, we'll be in big trouble!"

Sun Yushan directly exaggerated the severity of the situation, implying that if Dong Guangping didn't take action, even the prefectural committee would be implicated!

After hearing his words, Dong Guangping understood.

If it were just hearsay or someone had simply reported it, Sun Yushan wouldn't have gone to such lengths to come here and spread such alarmist rumors.

Then he must have a secret he's hiding.

Someone else might have been fooled by him.

It's a pity... as the bureau chief, you don't even know the key tasks of the prefectural committee recently. You deserve your bad luck.

The paper mill has been listed as the top priority by the prefectural committee, and Su Qingyun's name is also written in the minutes of the prefectural committee's office meeting.

But you, Sun Yushan, don't watch it.

Do you really think Su Qingyun is just an ordinary farmer?

Knowing that Sun Yushan had ill intentions, Dong Guangping gave a cold smile.

"Director Sun, what you're saying, did you see it with your own eyes or hear it with your own ears?"

"I..." Sun Yushan paused.

"Or did you personally go down to Xiaheyan Town Commune to conduct an investigation?" Dong Guangping then asked.

"I..." Sun Yushan was a little confused.

"Answer me!" Dong Guangping's voice suddenly turned stern.

"I didn't..." Sun Yushan's face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"So, what you're saying is all just hearsay and rumors?" Dong Guangping sneered.

"I...I heard about it...but it should be true..." Sun Yushan's voice began to tremble.

"There should be... You think it's Yue Fei from the Song Dynasty? A fabricated charge is enough to convict him!"

Dong Guangping slammed his hand on the table, startling Sun Yushan so much that he jumped up from his chair.

"If everyone were like you, coming to me to complain about whatever they've heard, I wouldn't be able to keep my job as the Party Secretary!"

"Then all those grassroots cadres below them don't need to work anymore! Go investigate them all!"

In the end, Dong Guangping resorted to profanity.

If it weren't for his position as the Party Secretary, Dong Guangping would have liked to slap him.

What is that?!

Just as things were starting to develop, someone jumped out and sabotaged things.

Moreover, it's like killing someone by destroying their spirit.

Not only are you trying to sabotage someone's production, but you're also going to frame them for collusion between public and private interests and try to destroy them!

Seeing Dong Guangping's stern gaze, Sun Yushan felt his legs begin to cramp, and he wished he could slap himself a few times.

I must have been blinded by greed to dare to stir up trouble with Dong Guangping.

Have you forgotten that he is a notoriously stern and unyielding Party Secretary?

We will not tolerate any mistakes made by cadres.

We show no leniency towards those who make false accusations and cause trouble!

Sun Yushan felt a chill creep up from the soles of his feet and trembled all over.

He actually had no grudge against Su Qingyun; it was all because his wife had whispered in his ear last night.

They said someone from their hometown had come to file a complaint, saying that the commune secretary was colluding with others to harm farmers.

Firstly, he was afraid of his wife; secondly, he saw it as an opportunity to make a name for himself; and thirdly, he belonged to a different faction from Qiu Tingjiang and wanted to take advantage of his misfortune.

Both Sun Yushan and Qiu Tingjiang are veteran section-level cadres. Recently, a deputy division-level position has become available, and both Sun Yushan and Qiu Tingjiang are considered strong contenders.

If I get rid of Qiu Tingjiang, my chances of taking over will be practically guaranteed!

With this in mind, Sun Yushan came eagerly, wanting to deliver a fatal blow to Qiu Tingjiang.

As for Su Qingyun... he's just a nobody, a stumbling block on my road to success. Who cares?

What Sun Yushan didn't know was that this small stumbling block, which he didn't care about, became the mountain that crushed him!

Seeing Sun Yushan's nervous look, Dong Guangping immediately realized that his idea was correct.

He has ulterior motives!

"Xiao Liu!" Dong Guangping called out to the outside.

Secretary Xiao Liu came in immediately.

"Send the deputy secretary to Xiaheyan Town Commune to investigate the spring plowing incident!"

"The key is to thoroughly investigate whether Qiu Tingjiang, Su Qingyun, and the village secretaries below them have any dealings involving benefits!"

"Report back immediately with the results; I'm waiting!"

"Director Sun, you just wait, we'll definitely give you an explanation..."

Dong Guangping glanced at Sun Yushan, who seemed to have lost all his strength.
