103: Chapter 103 Qin Chuan's One Phone Call Resumes Investment

Secretary Zhao Shaojun's face was terrifyingly dark!

He hadn't expected Qin Chuan to have the audacity to come to him and say such things.

Suppressing his inner fury, Secretary Zhao Shaojun said slowly, "Qin Chuan, this is insubordination. Are you not afraid of me dealing with you?"

His words were thick with intimidation.

If it were any other township Party Committee Secretary, they would likely be shaking in their boots by now.

It was far too easy for a County Party Secretary to deal with a subordinate; there were more than a hundred ways to do it.

But Qin Chuan was not afraid. His expression remained calm as he smiled and said, "Secretary Zhao, I am merely here to remind you. I have no intention of being insubordinate."

"Then you may leave. I am already aware of this matter," Secretary Zhao Shaojun said with a wave of his hand.

Qin Chuan smiled again. "Then I shall await your news, Secretary Zhao. If you are too busy and forget this matter again, I will come back to remind you."

Having said that, he left in a good mood.

Secretary Zhao Shaojun's gaze was cold. Once he saw Qin Chuan leave the office, he picked up the water glass on the desk and smashed it onto the floor.

Crash!

The glass shattered into pieces, and tea water splattered everywhere.

Qin Chuan heard the sound and couldn't help but smile again.

Since he was already at the county seat, he planned to visit the offices of other county leaders, such as County Magistrate Zhang Yuansong and Organization Minister Sun Zhen.

However, before he reached the County Magistrate's office, his phone rang.

As soon as the call connected, Secretary Guo Shunmin's voice came through. "Xiao Qin, is it convenient for you to come over? There's something I'd like to discuss with you in person."

Being invited by the Municipal Party Committee Secretary in such a polite tone, Qin Chuan naturally agreed immediately. "Secretary Guo, I'll be right there."

Qin Chuan needed a powerful supporter.

Secretary Guo Shunmin was an excellent choice. As the Dongzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary, his word carried significant weight within the Dongzhou area.

He couldn't run to his family every time something happened; having supporters like Secretary Guo Shunmin would make things much easier.

Secretary Guo calling him personally was a great opportunity, and Qin Chuan felt he had to seize it.

Thus, Qin Chuan changed his plans. Instead of going to County Magistrate Zhang Yuansong's office, he went straight to the Dongzhou Municipal Party Committee and knocked on the door to Secretary Guo Shunmin's office.

"Secretary Guo, you were looking for me."

Secretary Guo Shunmin, who had been reviewing a document, immediately put down his pen when he saw Qin Chuan enter. He said warmly, "Xiao Qin, you got here so quickly."

Qin Chuan said with a smile, "I wouldn't dare delay when invited by Secretary Guo."

Secretary Guo Shunmin laughed heartily.

He felt that Qin Chuan was truly impressive.

Despite his youth, he gave off an air of stability. Most notably, he wasn't nervous at all when facing a Municipal Party Committee Secretary alone.

Other officials, even those at the county level, would be somewhat nervous, yet Qin Chuan was merely a section-level official.

"Xiao Qin, please sit. Let's have a casual chat."

Secretary Guo Shunmin first asked caringly about Qin Chuan's work and life before getting to the main point.

"Xiao Qin, are you still in contact with Vice President Yu Zhen?"

Qin Chuan replied, "I spoke with Vice President Yu once after he returned to the capital."

"Xiao Qin, to be honest, it would be a great pity if this project fell through. What I mean is, could you contact Vice President Yu again to see if there's still hope for this investment?"

Over the past two days, Secretary Guo Shunmin had frequently thought about this investment.

He had lamented the loss many times!

His dissatisfaction with Secretary Zhao Shaojun was also growing stronger.

He was thinking about the investment again today. Since the problem started with a specific person, it had to be resolved by them; only through Qin Chuan was there hope of getting Shenlong Energy Group to restore the investment.

That was why he had made the call to bring Qin Chuan over.

Facing the Municipal Party Committee Secretary's inquiry, Qin Chuan smiled confidently. "Secretary Guo, as long as the county rescinds its previous resolution and returns the coal mine to Dahe Township, I believe Vice President Yu Zhen would be willing to restore the investment."

What!

The coal mine hadn't been returned yet?

Secretary Guo Shunmin was slightly surprised.

Back at the Municipal Party Committee Guesthouse, he had personally said in front of so many people that Sanjiang County should immediately issue a formal document to veto the previous resolution and return the mine to Dahe Township. It had been over two days, and Secretary Zhao Shaojun actually hadn't followed through.

This was simply outrageous!

He clearly had no respect for him as the Municipal Party Committee Secretary. Without another word, Secretary Guo Shunmin picked up the phone and dialed.

He started with a harsh scolding and strictly demanded that a formal document be issued immediately, stating clearly in black and white that the coal mine was returned to Dahe Township. He warned Secretary Zhao Shaojun never to target this coal mine again.

Originally, Secretary Zhao Shaojun had intended to stall, but that was no longer possible.

With the Municipal Party Committee Secretary calling personally and using such a severe tone, he didn't dare delay any longer, fearing the Municipal Party Committee might strip him of his position.

After hanging up, Secretary Guo Shunmin immediately put on a kind face. "Xiao Qin, you heard that just now. Your county will soon issue the document to return the coal mine."

Qin Chuan nodded. "Secretary Guo, in that case, I'll give Vice President Yu Zhen a call."

He took out his phone and dialed.

The call connected quickly, and Qin Chuan turned on the speakerphone.

"Vice President Yu, I have news. The coal mine has been returned to Dahe Township. I'd like to ask you to come over to sign the formal cooperation contract. What do you think?"

Hearing that the coal mine had been returned, Vice President Yu Zhen said without hesitation, "No problem. We'll head over tomorrow and should arrive in Dahe Township by the afternoon."

"Good, then it's settled. I'll wait for you in Dahe Township tomorrow."

After hanging up, Qin Chuan made an "OK" gesture. Secretary Guo Shunmin had heard every word of the conversation clearly.

His mood instantly brightened.

He gave a thumbs up and praised, "Xiao Qin, you deserve the most credit for bringing this investment to Dahe Township!"

Next, Secretary Guo Shunmin asked caringly about more of Qin Chuan's work matters and even tried to subtly probe into the relationship between Qin Chuan and Vice President Yu Zhen.

Qin Chuan naturally wouldn't say anything and used a random excuse to change the subject. Secretary Guo Shunmin was tactful enough not to press further.

When Qin Chuan left, he personally saw him to the office door.

Watching Qin Chuan go downstairs, Secretary Guo Shunmin thought to himself that it seemed the relationship between Qin Chuan and Vice President Yu Zhen was quite extraordinary.

It was already past four in the afternoon when Qin Chuan returned from Dongzhou. Once the car entered Sanjiang County, he gestured and said, "To the County Party Committee and County Government."

Shortly after, Qin Chuan arrived back at the County Party Secretary's office door.

Secretary Zhao Shaojun had just returned from a meeting with a dark expression. He felt he had lost too much face; he had just issued a document to take over Jiucailing Coal Mine for county management, and only a few days later, he had to issue another formal document to veto that decision and declare that the mine still belonged to and would be managed by Dahe Township.

This was a literal slap in the face.

Looking at the document on his desk, his face felt hot, and he wished he could tear it to shreds.

Knock, knock, knock!

Just then, a knock sounded at the office door.
