279: We were wrong before Chapter 279, terribly wrong.

Watching Secretary Jia Wen being taken away, everyone was stunned!

It took a good while before they gradually came back to their senses, and the looks they directed at Secretary Qin Chuan were filled with awe.

Amazing, Secretary Qin Chuan is too amazing!

In just a few words, Secretary Jia Wen was taken down.

Those who were close to Secretary Jia Wen felt a little afraid in their hearts, wondering if it would implicate them, wondering if they would also be taken down.

Qin Chuan didn't have much interest in these small fry; he could just leave them to Deputy Party Secretary Fu, Vice Township Head Mu Xiuwen, and the others.

After Secretary Jia Wen was taken away, the atmosphere in the reception room gradually lightened up. Qin Chuan and Secretary Guo Shunmin chatted happily, while others said all sorts of flattering things; even the Party Secretary and County Head of Sanjiang County began to butter up Secretary Qin Chuan.

"Secretary Qin Chuan, you should come back to visit our Sanjiang County more often, especially Dahe Township; this is the place where you fought."

"Secretary Qin, we want to apologize to you. We didn't expect that Secretary Jia Wen would make such a mess of Dahe Township. We are truly sorry."

Since they had proactively admitted their mistake, Qin Chuan didn't hold onto it; he laughed heartily and brushed it off. The leaders of Sanjiang County knew what to do next.

After chatting for a while and drinking a cup of tea, Secretary Guo Shunmin invited him, "Comrade Qin Chuan, it's rare that you've returned to Dahe Township; I will accompany you for a walk and a look around."

Since the Municipal Party Committee Secretary himself offered to accompany him, Qin Chuan still had to show some respect, so he readily agreed, "Alright, then let's go take a look."

The group left the Township Government building. Seeing the surrounding fences, Qin Chuan said first, "What does it look like to be fenced in like this? It is seriously detached from the masses. I suggest tearing all of this down."

Secretary Guo Shunmin nodded in agreement, "Comrades of Dahe Township, did you hear that? Tear all this down immediately."

Walking to the main street and seeing these paid parking spaces, Qin Chuan said, "Who came up with charging for public parking spaces? I suggest canceling it all. Within the borders of Dahe Township, all public parking spaces should be free."

Several leaders of Dahe Township followed behind, holding small notebooks, recording everything Qin Chuan said, intending to implement it strictly.

Deputy Party Secretary Fu even declared that any suggestions made by Comrade Qin Chuan would be adopted and implemented, with rectifications to be put in place as soon as possible.

Everyone didn't take a car but walked, pointing out problems as they saw them and carrying out rectifications.

Many ordinary people were surrounded around them, appearing even happier than during the New Year or festivals, and from time to time someone would shout.

"Secretary Qin, hello!"

"Secretary Qin, welcome back to Dahe Township!"

The common people who heard the news arrived in droves. Seeing Qin Chuan so supported, whether it was the leaders of Sanjiang County or the officials of Dahe Township, their looks towards Secretary Qin Chuan were a bit different, filled with admiration.

To be an official and reach the level of Secretary Qin Chuan, one would have no regrets in this life.

The Party Secretary and County Head of Sanjiang County exchanged glances more than once, both understanding the other's meaning: we were wrong before, wrong outrageously; hopefully, we can make up for it in the future. Those supporters of Qin Chuan from back in the day in Dahe Township must be promoted.

The group walked unknowingly to the Jiucailing Coal Mine. Looking at this large coal mine, Qin Chuan had no interest in going in to take a look.

It must be a mess, a world of difference from when he left. He shook his head gently and said slowly.

"Secretary Guo, it is a huge mistake to contract such a good coal mine to certain businessmen."

Secretary Guo Shunmin said, "It is indeed a huge mistake. Comrades of Sanjiang County, did you hear that? You take the lead, and together with the comrades of Dahe Township, re-examine the contracting contract. If the contract is invalid, immediately terminate the contract and take back the operation and management rights of the coal mine to Dahe Township."

"Yes, yes!"

"Certainly, certainly, we will re-examine it immediately."

Several leaders of Sanjiang County nodded repeatedly. Even a fool could understand clearly that this coal mine must be taken back to Dahe Township and could not be contracted out.

Unknowingly, two or three hours passed, and the time reached four or five in the afternoon. They had seen all the places that needed to be seen, and even went to the Dahe Township Central School.

Seeing that the students' food was poor and the cafeteria environment was bad—it was originally free to eat, but it was changed to students paying to eat, and it wasn't cheap either—Qin Chuan got angry on the spot.

This was another thing done by Secretary Jia Wen.

When Qin Chuan left, a large number of teachers and students saw him off, because from now on, everyone could eat for free again, and there was also free milk.

Seeing that it was already four or five o'clock, Qin Chuan said goodbye.

"I have disturbed everyone. I have a gathering tonight, so I won't delay your time any longer."

After speaking, he prepared to get in the car and leave for the county town.

He had already contacted Ma Zhengnan, and the latter had contacted that group of people from back then. The place was also set, just waiting for Qin Chuan to go over.

The leaders of Sanjiang County originally wanted to have a meal with Qin Chuan in the evening to make up for things, but obviously, there was no such opportunity.

Secretary Guo Shunmin smiled and got into Qin Chuan's car, "Comrade Qin Chuan, adding one more person shouldn't be too many, right?"

Qin Chuan smiled, "If Secretary Guo can have a meal with us, it is exactly what we wanted."

At night.

Everyone ate and drank together.

Ma Zhengnan, Deputy Party Secretary Fu, Vice Township Head Mu Xiuwen, and others, were all that group of people from back then, plus Secretary Guo Shunmin, making for a full table.

Interestingly, the Party Secretary and County Head of Sanjiang County actually sought them out, apologizing and offering toasts again. In the end, both of them got very drunk.

That night, Qin Chuan and Zhu Qingxi stayed at the Sanjiang County Party Committee Guesthouse. The next morning, only at the request of Secretary Guo Shunmin did they go to Dongzhou City for a while, sat with Secretary Guo Shunmin, finished lunch, left Dongzhou City, and returned to the provincial capital.

Secretary Jia Wen was arrested, and Secretary Guo Shunmin was still under great pressure.

That day, he received a phone call from Vice Governor Jia Shenping. Although he only asked about the situation and did not mean to question or apply pressure, the meaning was already very clear.

If it wasn't to apply pressure, why make this call?

Some things, even if not explicitly stated, just a single phone call could represent certain meanings.

Secretary Guo Shunmin clearly felt the pressure from the Provincial Party Standing Committee member and Vice Governor Jia Shenping, but this pressure did not last long.

The next day, he received a file that Qin Chuan gave him regarding Secretary Jia Wen's corruption, which was very detailed, with not only data but also pictures, videos, and so on.

Qin Chuan said that someone had reported it anonymously and sent the information to him. Secretary Guo Shunmin did not ask about the source of the information.

He only felt joy in his heart. With this thing, everything was not a problem. Next, the comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission would be accurate in every investigation, and a large amount of evidence of corruption was unearthed.

After Secretary Jia Wen was arrested, in just three days, the Handong officialdom experienced a major earthquake, and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection launched an investigation into Vice Governor Jia Shenping.

Immediately, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and CCTV news both announced the news that Vice Governor Jia Shenping was under investigation, and then a large amount of corruption information was disclosed.

Qin Chuan went to Jianning City again, had a small gathering with Secretary Dai, Director Huang, and others. He originally wanted to go back to Wanshun County, but the official appointment had already come down.

There was not so much time; he needed to return to Beijing to take up his post at the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
