304: Chapter 304 The tree desires stillness, but the wind will not cease.

"Xiao Zhao, who is she!"

Xiao Zhao said, "She is no ordinary person. She is the finance manager of Hongli Real Estate, and word is that she is Young Master Zhao's woman."

Hongli Real Estate is the company developing the Qinglong Bay Villa District on Phoenix Mountain, and its legal representative is Zhang Hongli.

On the surface, Hongli Real Estate has absolutely no connection to Young Master Zhao, but what is interesting is that the finance manager is Zhao Zhijie's woman.

There is a reason for this woman's arrogance; she has someone backing her, which is why she is so unscrupulous. Even in the capital, she didn't take anyone seriously.

This isn't the capital; this is Northwest Province. It is likely she will be even more lawless here.

Sure enough, as Xiao Zhao drove, he continued to spill the details, "This woman is not someone to be trifled with. In our Xizhou City, basically no one dares to provoke her. Anyone who does either has to offer an apology—some even have to kneel and apologize—or else they get sent inside to be locked up..."

Hearing this, a cold sneer appeared on the corner of Qin Chuan's mouth. Wasn't her sentence changed last time? From five days to three months. To think she appeared here; the Zhao family truly has impressive methods. It is likely this woman was released long ago.

Heh, don't land in my hands, otherwise, you won't have a good time.

The Central Inspection Team attaches great importance to the real estate development in the Phoenix Mountain National Ecological Zone. After returning from there, the first thing Qin Chuan did was to represent the Central Inspection Team and have a talk with the top official of Xizhou City, the capital of Northwest Province.

"Secretary Zhou, regarding the Qinglong Bay Villa District, I am formally speaking with you on behalf of the Central Inspection Team. I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation."

The top official of the provincial capital is a member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, a deputy ministerial-level cadre. Secretary Zhou felt a bit stifled; as a dignified deputy ministerial-level official, he was being questioned by Qin Chuan, a deputy department-level cadre.

Although he felt stifled, there was nothing he could do; the other party represented the Central Inspection Team.

"Director Qin, this matter is a long story and cannot be explained in just a few words."

Qin Chuan looked stern, "Then take your time and tell me. I have the patience to listen."

Helpless, Secretary Zhou had no choice but to explain the matter in detail, but it was clear that he was trying to shirk responsibility, pushing many things onto the Mayor of Xizhou City.

Shirking responsibility wouldn't help; both of them would get punished. Just because you are a member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee in Northwest Province doesn't mean those above won't discipline you.

Besides shirking responsibility, he was also playing tai chi and even feigned a look of embarrassment, saying they had no choice, while implicitly mentioning that Young Master Zhao was behind Hongli Real Estate.

Qin Chuan was very dissatisfied with this interview. His tone became stricter, and he stated clearly, "Your Xizhou City Municipal Party Committee must immediately order the Qinglong Bay Villa District to stop construction. Additionally, provide a resolution plan to the Central Inspection Team."

Stop construction first, then discuss the next steps for handling it.

As for how to handle it, your Xizhou City Municipal Party Committee must come up with a plan first; Qin Chuan would not tell them directly how to handle it.

If the plan is not satisfactory, everyone will be punished.

The Central Inspection Team had already set its sights on this project, so the Xizhou City Municipal Party Committee dared not be negligent in the slightest. They immediately convened a Municipal Standing Committee meeting to specifically discuss this matter, and the notice ordering the cessation of construction was sent to Hongli Real Estate.

Zhang Hongli saw the notice very quickly, but he didn't take it to heart and wanted to throw it directly into the trash can.

With Young Master Zhao behind him, he wasn't afraid at all; he was only a little wary of the Central Inspection Team, otherwise he really would have thrown it in the trash can.

Stopping construction was out of the question. At most, he would report it to Young Master Zhao, so he gave Zhao Zhijie a brief report.

Zhao Zhijie told him not to worry about it, to continue construction, and that he would handle it.

It seems that Zhao Zhijie had gotten a bit carried away amidst everyone's obsequious cries of "Young Master Zhao." He didn't take the Xizhou City Municipal Party Committee seriously, nor did he consider on a deeper level that this was the will of the Central Inspection Team.

Qin Chuan heard the report the next day. Hearing that the Qinglong Bay project was still under construction as usual and hadn't stopped, he was very angry and prepared to go to the Xizhou City Municipal Party Committee himself.

Whether Secretary Zhou was doing it on purpose or really had important business in the capital, he wasn't there. The people from the Municipal Party Committee office said he had gone to the capital for a meeting.

If he wasn't there, then he would find the Mayor.

Qin Chuan sternly criticized the Mayor of Xizhou City and demanded an immediate stop to construction; otherwise, the leaders of Xizhou City would all be punished.

Director Qin was so serious and his tone was so heavy that they didn't dare to harbor any wishful thinking. They started making phone calls, then mobilized personnel from multiple departments, including a large number of police officers, and even riot police were dispatched to forcibly stop construction.

This time, Zhang Hongli was the first to lose his composure. He personally went to find the relevant leaders of Xizhou City, but it had no effect.

For the sake of their own positions, no one dared to give the green light; the stance on stopping construction was very firm.

Zhang Hongli couldn't resolve it, so he had to report to Zhao Zhijie.

At first, Zhao Zhijie didn't take it seriously either and called the leaders of Xilin City to apply pressure. Only after it had no effect did he realize that the Central Inspection Team had intervened, and no one's pull would work.

Some leaders even explicitly said, "Young Master Zhao, don't make things difficult for them. You can go and communicate with the Central Inspection Team. As long as the Central Inspection Team agrees to resume construction, they won't have any objections."

Only then did Zhao Zhijie feel that the matter seemed a bit serious. He immediately started checking the background of the 10th Inspection Team, then took a few people and hurried to Northwest Province, preparing to handle the public relations himself.

Qin Chuan had just come out of the Northwest Provincial Party Committee compound. He had met with the Provincial Party Secretary of Northwest Province and communicated some of the reports received by the Inspection Team over the past two days, especially emphasizing the matter of the Phoenix Mountain National Ecological Zone being developed into a villa district.

The Provincial Party Secretary explicitly stated that it would be handled strictly and that the Inspection Team would certainly be given a satisfactory answer.

Walking on the streets of Xizhou City, the provincial capital, with Old Liu, Xiao Zhao, and others following far behind, he was thinking about work matters in his mind.

The Xizhou Municipal Government compound is not far from the Provincial Party Committee compound; they are on the same street. Unknowingly, Qin Chuan had walked near the Xizhou Municipal Government compound. The gate was not far ahead, but he had no intention of going in.

The opportunity had already been given. If they knew the gravity of the situation, they would actively handle the matter of the Qinglong Bay Villa District. If they continued to drag their feet, then they shouldn't blame him.

Sometimes, things are really a coincidence.

Or rather, sometimes the world is really small.

Qin Chuan did not intend to go in; he was just preparing to pass by the entrance of the Xizhou Municipal Government. Who would have thought that a stylishly dressed woman would come storming out, her face looking very ugly. It was likely she had hit a wall while trying to get things done inside.

It's her!

From far away, Qin Chuan saw clearly that this was the arrogant woman who had been driving against traffic at the hospital in the capital last time—the finance manager of Hongli Real Estate, who was said to be Zhao Zhijie's woman.

He only glanced at her once and then withdrew his gaze, not wanting to have any interaction with her. However, the trees desire stillness, but the wind will not cease; the other party actually saw Qin Chuan as well and recognized him.

As for Qin Chuan, Zhang Ping would recognize him even if he were burned to ashes. Back at the hospital in the capital, it was his single phone call that got her detained for a few days.

When had she ever suffered such indignity? She dreamed of revenge, but Young Master Zhao had said the other party had a powerful background, so she should just let it go.

Originally, she felt she should just let it go, but the moment she saw Qin Chuan, she threw everything to the back of her mind. Zhang Ping glared at Qin Chuan and walked over quickly.
