Official excuse: I was sent to work at the grassroots level for training, and Hou Liangping arrested

Sha Ruijin looked at the workers around him, his brows furrowed, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me."

When the workers saw Sha Ruijin, they all quieted down.

Sha Ruijin began, "I know that everyone has suffered a lot of grievances regarding the Dafeng Factory matter."

"However, please believe that the Provincial Party Committee will definitely stand up for you."

"Currently, Changteng Capital has decided to invest in the Bright Peak project."

"This will bring new job opportunities to everyone."

Everyone, please go back first. I will arrange for someone to discuss this with you in detail.

Zheng Shengli was somewhat unwilling: "Secretary Sha, are you telling the truth?"

Sha Ruijin nodded: "As the provincial party secretary, would I lie to everyone?"

Zheng Shengli gritted his teeth and finally said, "Alright, then we'll wait for Secretary Sha's good news."

After saying that, he waved his hand and led the workers away.

As Sha Ruijin watched the workers' departing figures, he secretly felt fortunate.

Fortunately, I arrived in time and stabilized the situation.

. . . . .

Sha Ruijin turned around, preparing to return to his office.

Just then, a reporter suddenly spoke up: "Secretary Sha, does Changteng Capital's investment in the Guangmingfeng project mean that the Dafeng Factory matter is just going to be dropped?"

Sha Ruijin stopped and looked at the reporter, saying in a deep voice, "The Provincial Party Committee will definitely give everyone an explanation regarding the Dafeng Factory matter. Changteng Capital's investment is for the better development of Guangming County. This does not conflict with the Dafeng Factory matter."

After saying that, he didn't linger and strode into the provincial party committee building.

The reporters watched Sha Ruijin's retreating figure, their eyes flashing with complex emotions.

. . . . . .

The following day, Gao Mingyuan of Changteng Capital received a call from his protector and immediately took a plane to Jingzhou City.

He immediately went to the Hantong Provincial Party Committee building to meet with Sha Ruijin.

Sha Ruijin, seeking to achieve political success, personally received the man.

Gao Mingyuan walked into Sha Ruijin's office with a confident smile on his face.

He looked at Sha Ruijin and slowly said, "Secretary Sha, thank you for receiving me in person."

Sha Ruijin stood up and shook hands with Gao Mingyuan: "Mr. Gao Mingyuan, welcome to Handong Province."

After the two sat down, Sha Ruijin got straight to the point: "Mr. Gao Mingyuan, Changteng Capital's decision to invest in the Guangmingfeng project is a major event for our Handong Province."

Gao Mingyuan smiled and nodded: "Secretary Sha, Changteng Capital has always been committed to promoting social and economic development. We are optimistic about the potential of the Guangmingfeng project, and we believe that with the support of the Provincial Party Committee, this project will definitely succeed."

Sha Ruijin nodded in satisfaction: "Mr. Gao Mingyuan, it is an honor for our Handong Province to have the support of an entrepreneur like you. The Provincial Party Committee will definitely give its full support to Changteng Capital's investment."

The two had a pleasant conversation, and Sha Ruijin expressed high appreciation and support for Gao Mingyuan's investment plan.

He knew that Changteng Capital's investment would not only solve the mess in Guangming District of Jingzhou City, but also bring new development opportunities to Handong Province.

Gao Mingyuan also recognized Sha Ruijin's determination and ability, and believed that he could gradually hunt down Sha Ruijin.

At that time, they will drag Sha Ruijin down with them, making this provincial party secretary an even bigger protector for themselves.

By then, I will be able to do whatever I want in Handong Province.

After the conversation, Sha Ruijin personally escorted Gao Mingyuan out of the office.

He stood at the window, watching Gao Mingyuan's car drive away, his heart filled with anticipation and confidence.

He knew that with the support of Changteng Capital, the Guangmingfeng project would be revived.

By then, he would have an indestructible political achievement.

126. Workers surrounded the nursing home, and Chen Yanshi was seriously injured.

126. Workers surrounded the nursing home, and Chen Yanshi was seriously injured.

As the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad.

Sha Ruijin has been happy these past two days, with a bright smile on his face.

Zheng Xipo's son, Zheng Shengli, was filled with worry. The 200,000 yuan in cash he had saved for his wedding had already been invested by Zheng Xipo in the Xindafeng Factory Company.

Zheng Xipo and Ma Wenming have both been arrested. Moreover, they were arrested by the National Security Bureau on charges of organizing a criminal organization.

The workers at Xindafeng Company were filled with anxiety. Many employees came to Zheng Shengli's door, demanding that he withdraw his shares and return his money.

"Give me my money back! Give me back my hard-earned money."

"That's right, Zheng Shengli, your father is now a gangster. Your whole family is gangsters!"

"This is absolutely outrageous! Nobody cares about our shares, and your dad swallowed up our severance pay."

"If you don't pay us today, we'll move our things."

"Dear uncles and aunts, please calm down. Secretary Sha has already said that he will help us solve the problem."

Zheng Shengli was in a complete mess. He was originally a self-media blogger who made a little money through self-media, and he had never experienced such a big storm before.

Faced with the workers' persistent questioning, he could only explain repeatedly that Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin had promised to help them resolve the issue. But the workers wouldn't listen; they were only concerned with whether they could safely recover their hard-earned money.

Forced into a corner, Zheng Shengli, looking utterly exasperated, suddenly shouted, "Listen to me! It was Chen Yanshi, that old man, who instigated my dad!"

"Chen Yanshi had malicious intentions and served as a consultant for Dafeng Factory. In fact, my dad told me that he took 1 million yuan."

In his desperation, Zheng Shengli resorted to any means necessary, and in his desperate attempt to make a shocking statement, he told a lie.

Requesting flowers...

The workers were even more furious upon hearing this. They had initially held a degree of respect for Chen Yanshi, this veteran Party member and cadre, but they never expected him to be implicated as well.

"Chen Yanshi? He got involved too? That old man, he's really wasted his life!"

“That’s right, Chen Yanshi is not a good person. He is also responsible for the state of Dafeng Factory!”

“That’s right. It was Chen Yanshi who refused to allow the demolition of Dafeng Factory. Otherwise, I would have joined the sanitation bureau and obtained a permanent position long ago.”

The workers became increasingly agitated, their voices growing louder, and the situation briefly spiraled out of control. Seeing this, Zheng Shengli panicked even more. He knew that his words had not only failed to quell the workers' anger but had instead fueled it to another level.

He was filled with regret, but there was nothing he could do. He could only watch helplessly as the workers clamored for their hard-earned money back.

Zheng Shengli began to incite, raising his hands high: "Uncles and aunts, let's all go to the Sunset Red Nursing Home together to settle accounts with Chen Yanshi. Let's make Chen Yanshi spit out this 1 million."

"Okay, let's do it."

“Let’s go to the nursing home together and find Chen Yanshi.”

The workers thought it was a good idea and responded enthusiastically.

They followed Zheng Shengli and arrived at the Xiyanghong Nursing Home in a grand procession.

Upon seeing this, the nursing home staff were terrified and immediately called the police. However, the workers were agitated and ignored all warnings, rushing straight into Chen Yanshi's room.

Chen Yanshi was taking a nap in bed when he saw this scene and was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

"Chen Yanshi, you old bastard, you actually cheated us out of our money!"

"That's right, give us back our hard-earned money!"

"That old man, he pretends to be honest and upright. In reality, he's still a corrupt official."

The workers started talking all at once, accusing Chen Yanshi. Chen Yanshi was completely bewildered; he had no idea when he had cheated them out of their money.

"No... what are you doing?"

"No, I... I didn't cheat you out of your money. It's the district government; you should go to the Guangming District government."

He struggled to sit up, but was surrounded and unable to move, so he could only lie helplessly on the bed.

These words were like igniting a powder keg.

"Fuck you, Chen Yanshi. How dare you say that the head of Guangming District is your son, Chen Hai?"

"That old man, serving as our company's consultant, secretly pockets benefits from Zheng Xipo."

Zheng Shengli hid behind the crowd, watching this scene with a mix of fear and unease. He knew that his actions had not only failed to solve the problem but had actually made things worse.

Wang Fuzhen immediately became furious and angrily rebuked, "Don't you have any conscience? Old Chen has been running around for you."

"You're all a bunch of ingrates."

Chen Yanshi watched this scene, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He never imagined that he, who had lived an upright life, would encounter such slander and attacks in his later years.

He sighed deeply, his heart filled with helplessness and sorrow.

One of the young workers suddenly lost his temper. He slapped Wang Fuzhen across the face, yelling, "Shut up! You corrupt officials are just protecting each other!"

Zheng Shengli stood at the door and loudly provoked, "That's right, since we can't get our hard-earned money, let's beat up that old scoundrel Chen Yanshi."

"Damn it! Let's fight this corrupt official!"

Upon hearing this, the workers became even more agitated. They rushed towards Chen Yanshi and began punching and kicking him.

Chen Yanshi was old after all, and he couldn't withstand such a beating. He groaned in pain, but the workers wouldn't stop; their anger had completely spiraled out of control.

Seeing this, Wang Fuzhen tried to step forward to stop them, but she was pushed aside by the workers.

"What are you doing? Stop it right now. Hitting people is illegal."

Chen Yanshi groaned in pain and cried out, "No... my feet, my stomach. Ouch, don't hit my head!"

Police arrived quickly after receiving a report. They attempted to stop the workers' violence, but the workers were agitated and refused to listen to their pleas.

After a fierce struggle, the police finally subdued the workers and took them away from the scene.

Chen Yanshi lay on the bed, his face pale, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his body covered in wounds. Wang Fuzhen looked at him, her heart aching as tears streamed down her face.

"Old Chen, how are you? Are you alright?"

Chen Yanshi shook his head with difficulty, his voice weak: "I'm fine, but I never thought that I would encounter such slander and attacks in my life."

Wang Fuzhen held his hand tightly, her eyes filled with determination: "Old Chen, don't worry, I will definitely help you get justice."
