443: Chapter 443 Time Enters 2017

"Leader, you have to help me, boohoo..."

Vice Governor Huang Lize frowned slightly and asked, "What happened?"

Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang cried and complained, "Leader, Qin Chuan is bullying me..."

She briefly explained the situation.

After listening, Vice Governor Huang Lize said, "Rest assured, he is just trying to scare you. A disciplinary warning is impossible. I will personally communicate with Provincial Party Secretary Zhao Jiasheng about this matter."

Changing the subject, Vice Governor Huang Lize reminded her, "Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang, you are now the third-in-command of Dongjiang City. You must cooperate well with the work of Secretary Qin Chuan. Currently, Dongjiang City has a very promising situation. Not only are there two key national projects with huge investments, but I have also heard that two academicians have joined. The future development prospects are very bright."

"I have heard that Secretary Qin Chuan has a powerful background. There is no need to stand in opposition to such a figure. It doesn't matter if you are wronged a little. Be obedient. After you calm down, think about it carefully. Do not fight him; you cannot win..."

Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang was a bit unconvinced. "Leader, does that mean I can only endure humiliation and be submissive under him?"

"Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang, you must adjust your attitude. He is the first-in-command, the squad leader. It doesn't matter if you are wronged a little. At most, in two or three years, I will definitely help you resolve your status at the department level. Be obedient and don't cause any trouble."

After some persuasion, Vice Governor Huang Lize said, "Don't go back tonight. Let's have a deep, in-depth chat tonight."

Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang felt a bit unwilling; Vice Governor Huang Lize had only persuaded her and hadn't helped her vent her anger. However, she dared not show it on the surface and nodded, saying, "Mm, I will listen to you. Let's have a deep, in-depth exchange tonight."

...

Dongjiang City, Municipal Party Secretary's office.

Secretary Guo Yubo of Ningjiang County came to report to Qin Chuan on the investigation and handling of Vice County Magistrate Gu Fuan and others.

"Secretary, under the guidance of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the investigation into Vice County Magistrate Gu Fuan and others is progressing smoothly..."

After reporting, Secretary Guo Yubo said, "The situation of Vice County Magistrate Gu Fuan is very serious. In addition to causing death by negligence, there is also serious corruption. Furthermore, the main leaders of County No. 1 High School, the director of Shawan Village, Township Head Liu, and others have all been dismissed from their posts and are all under investigation."

After listening to the report, Qin Chuan said, "These people must be dealt with severely. In addition, issue an official notice of the handling, so that everyone in Ningjiang County can see it. This is the consequence of having no awe for the common people!"

Soon, Ningjiang County issued an official notice.

Once the notice was released, people within the entire system of the county were very shocked because the penalties were too severe. Not a single person from the group was missed; all were severely punished.

"I didn't expect the penalty to be so severe. Vice County Magistrate Gu Fuan is finished this time; he might even be executed!"

"The principal of County No. 1 High School was caught in the crossfire. If he hadn't acted as an accomplice to Vice County Magistrate Gu Fuan, he actually wouldn't have had any issues!"

"I know that old man; he was a very good person. His son and daughter-in-law died over a decade ago, and now he has been beaten to death. Vice County Magistrate Gu Fuan really went too far!"

"..." Within Ningjiang County, many people were heatedly discussing this matter. It wasn't just people within the system; many ordinary citizens were also talking about it.

Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang finally returned from the provincial capital.

However, she only returned to Dongjiang City the next afternoon, and shortly after she returned, she was called over by Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan kept a straight face and criticized sternly, "Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang, do you have any sense of organization left? Where did you go yesterday!"

It was a bit unexpected.

Being criticized like this, Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang was not angry or dissatisfied at all; on the contrary, she appeared very humble.

"Secretary Qin, I apologize. I will reflect on this. I promise that I will not make such a mistake again in the future. If I need to leave Dongjiang City, I will definitely ask for your leave in advance."

Seeing her like this, Qin Chuan was slightly surprised.

He had originally intended to criticize her severely, but seeing her good attitude, he only reprimanded her a few times and let her leave.

Why was this the case? It was mainly because Vice Governor Huang Lize had warned her yesterday not to be in opposition to Qin Chuan, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to help her, because Qin Chuan's background in the capital was extraordinary, and his relationship with Provincial Party Secretary Zhao Jiasheng was also extraordinary.

Since that was the case, Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang had no choice but to keep a low profile and act humble while accepting the criticism on the surface, though in reality, she was very unhappy inside.

Returning to her own office, she closed the door, and her face turned dark.

Damn it, that Qin guy. I will endure this for now. As long as I have the chance, I will definitely pay you back.

Because Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang's attitude changed significantly, she showed great respect for Qin Chuan in public, and there was no more opposition in the Standing Committee. The entire leadership team of Dongjiang City was harmonious.

With a united team, everything went smoothly. The entire Dongjiang City showed signs of rapid development. In addition to the tourism industry getting better and better, with a large number of tourists coming to Dongjiang City, the tourism environment was also excellent.

Secretary Wu Qiaoxi would not be able to see all of this. A few days ago, he finally didn't make it and passed away in a provincial capital hospital.

The province held a memorial service for him. Death is a significant matter; Qin Chuan personally went to the provincial capital to pay his respects, and many leaders from Dongjiang City also went.

Time passed day by day, and time entered 2017.

The two major key projects in Dongjiang City were progressing smoothly. The chip project had already assembled an R&D team of tens of thousands of people, and the main factory building for chip manufacturing had entered the water, electricity, and equipment installation stage.

The R&D center for the lithium battery project had already been built, and the construction of the production and manufacturing plant area was nearing its end.

Qin Chuan had been quite busy, devoting his main energy to the construction and development of Dongjiang City. In addition to these two major projects, there were also a large amount of infrastructure construction, livelihood projects, and so on.

Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang remained relatively quiet on the surface, and Minister Qu Boming also kept a low profile. Qin Chuan did not push things to the extreme; as long as you behave and don't cause trouble, he wouldn't touch you for the time being.

A united and stable leadership team was very important for the current Dongjiang City.

Time entered March 2017.

One day, Minister Qu Boming personally went to the Provincial Capital Airport to pick up a few people. The person leading them was named Manager Xiao, about forty years old, with a very imposing manner. It was said that he was the son of a high-ranking leader in the capital.

Minister Qu Boming had met him through an introduction when he went to the capital to run a project. After communicating a few times, the relationship between the two sides improved. So, Manager Xiao took the initiative to suggest that he wanted to come to Dongjiang City to have a look, and if possible, he was prepared to invest in Dongjiang City.

This made Minister Qu Boming overjoyed.

That was the son of a high-ranking leader in the capital! If he could establish a connection, he wouldn't be afraid of anything; he could walk sideways in Dongjiang City.

Privately, he was very close to Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang. After picking up Manager Xiao and his group and arranging for them to stay at the best hotel in Dongjiang City, Minister Qu Boming contacted Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang immediately.
