Naked threat! Luo Hui's eyes seemed calm, but they revealed a murderous aura. He actually hoped that Fang Zhicheng would not agree with his plan, because in that case, he could move the matter to the county magistrate meeting, or even the county party committee standing committee meeting.
In the final analysis, the fact that China Merchants Steam Navigation Company encountered the perpetrator was largely related to Fang Zhicheng's poor management. If Fang Zhicheng had managed effectively, how could he have allowed his subordinates to engage in such bad behavior that damaged the government's image
Moreover, once the news spreads and becomes known to everyone, the China Merchants Group is the government's window for attracting foreign investment, and it will inevitably affect the entry of enterprises.
In short, if the matter gets out of hand, it will only be disadvantageous to Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng was originally very young, and had been the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau for less than half a year. Most people thought that it would be difficult for Fang Zhicheng to gain a foothold. If there was any poor management, it would be a good excuse to sideline Fang Zhicheng or kick him out of Dongtai County directly.
How should Fang Zhicheng respond? Of course he would not bow his head. "County Magistrate Luo, our Merchants Bureau is not at fault for this matter. Yan Hao brought people to the government to cause trouble, which falls into the category of gathering a crowd to cause trouble maliciously. If the circumstances are serious, it may even be classified as the crime of gathering a crowd to attack state organs. According to the relevant criminal law, the ringleaders shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years, and other active participants shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, detention, control or deprivation of political rights."
The two sturdy men next to them, when they heard that those who participated in the riot would also be punished, immediately showed hesitation on their faces. They originally thought that they were just here to make some trouble, but they didn't expect the problem to be so serious. Fang Zhicheng exaggerated it and even linked it to national security.
"Also, this should have been a family affair. As the saying goes, it is difficult for an honest judge to judge family affairs. County Magistrate Luo, you only listened to Yan Hao's one-sided words and thought that Xie Mengmeng was at fault. This is extremely irrational. Caught in bed, does Yan Hao have any substantial evidence besides the ambiguous text messages? Taking a step back, there is no such thing as adultery in the criminal law now. It belongs to the category of morality. County Magistrate Luo, can you ensure that Yan Hao has no moral problems? As far as I know, Yan Hao is a famous playboy in Dongtai County."
"… You are slandering me!" Yan Hao was speechless after hearing what Fang Zhicheng said, especially the word "playboy" which exposed his true nature.
Fang Zhicheng stared at Yan Hao coldly and sighed, "I'll give you three minutes to get out of the Merchants Bureau, or I'll call 110 immediately..."
Yan Hao was slightly startled. He was always a troublemaker, but he didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to be so tough that he actually felt timid. Fang Zhicheng grasped the crux of the matter. He did not have any evidence that Wang Chong and Xie Mengmeng were having an affair. It was mostly just speculation.
Li Hui and Wei Xiaoyan secretly broke into a cold sweat. According to the normal way of dealing with problems, it is natural to make a big deal out of a small matter. Fang Zhicheng is holding back now and fooling Yan Hao away. The rest is naturally discussed behind closed doors. There is no need to confront the supervisor directly for Wang Chong and Xie Mengmeng. This is a bad strategy.
Luo Hui frowned and said in a deep voice: "Comrade Zhicheng, your way of handling the problem is too superficial. How can you handle today's conflict?"
Fang Zhicheng said calmly: "I can't let my subordinates suffer unjust accusations for the sake of someone else's unfounded duties!"
Fang Zhicheng's words were very precise. Not only did they show his open-mindedness, but he also indirectly criticized Luo Hui for helping outsiders bully his colleagues at the China Merchants Group.
But Li Hui's eyes sparkled. She knew that this was Fang Zhicheng's sincere words, and he dared to bear the pressure and faults for his subordinates. If Fang Zhicheng hadn't worked hard for her in the previous Xia Guangming case, she would have fallen into the quagmire. Li Hui felt the justice and courage from Fang Zhicheng. She was so excited that she turned over the watch on her wrist and said lightly: "Yan Hao, three minutes are up. If you don't leave, I will call now."
Yan Hao gritted his teeth and said angrily, "I'm not leaving yet. If you have the guts, call someone over."
Li Hui smiled and said softly, "You asked for it."
Luo Hui hurriedly said, "Don't call! Fang Zhicheng is young and ignorant, why are you still foolish? If you really make a call, things will get out of hand."
However, Li Hui did not listen to Luo Hui at all and directly dialed the number on her mobile phone. When the Public Security Bureau heard that there was a disturbance inside the county government, their first reaction was to ask the guards at the door to rush to the Merchants Bureau, which took less than two minutes.
When the guard entered the office, Luo Hui was speechless. In this situation, Yan Hao was the one who was unreasonable. It was completely out of his control.
Originally, he planned to let Yan Hao cause trouble, and then come forward to criticize Fang Zhicheng for poor management and condoning improper relationships among his subordinates. Unexpectedly, Fang Zhicheng was a protective child and did not buy it at all. He believed that Yan Hao was the one at fault.
Luo Hui was at his wit's end. What should he do in this situation
The guards rushed forward and tried to restrain Yan Hao and the other two, but were stopped by Luo Hui. Luo Hui sighed and said helplessly, "Don't arrest anyone. This is not entirely Yan Hao's fault... Yan Hao, you guys should leave. I will report the problem to the higher-ups and will give you a reasonable explanation."
Yan Hao was startled when he saw the guards rushing up. Seeing that Luo Hui had helped him find a way out, he quickly nodded and said, "Today, for your sake, County Magistrate Luo, I won't bother him any more. However, the demands I put forward must be resolved. If they are not met, I will come again." After saying that, Yan Hao and the other two ran away in shame like rabbits.
Luo Hui was so embarrassed that he stared at Fang Zhicheng and Li Hui's faces, glared at them fiercely a few times, then turned around and left without hesitation.
When only Wei Xiaoyan, Fang Zhicheng, and Li Hui were left in the office, Li Hui said with some concern, "Director Fang, you went a little too far today."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hands, sighed, and said, "Everyone is making trouble for us, so why don't we help our family members but help outsiders?"
Wei Xiaoyan laughed and said, "Director Fang is a good squad leader, but I'm afraid that County Magistrate Luo will bring this to the county magistrates' meeting."
Fang Zhicheng raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "No matter how Luo Hui makes trouble, I will play with him."
Wei Xiaoyan had only known Fang Zhicheng for a short time, and she always felt that Fang Zhicheng was a little too arrogant, and her eyebrows showed worry, but Li Hui was inexplicably confident in Fang Zhicheng. How difficult was it for Fang Zhicheng to save himself from the Xia Guangming case, and to save Wang Chong and Xie Mengmeng
After Li Hui and Wei Xiaoyan left, Wang Chong and Xie Mengmeng came and knocked on the door. Fang Zhicheng pointed to the sofa, asked them to sit down, and then poured them a glass of water each.
"Director Fang, we have decided not to drag down China Merchants Group and are ready to resign voluntarily." Wang Chong lowered his head and sighed softly.
Xie Mengmeng echoed softly, "Director Fang, I'm sorry. This matter has caused you a lot of trouble, and you have also offended County Magistrate Luo because of this. I really feel bad..."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "First of all, you all raise your heads. I don't think you are at fault, so you shouldn't act like a sinner. Secondly, I won't allow you to resign, because if I can't even protect my subordinates, what qualifications do I have to be the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau? Finally, you must change your perspective. You haven't done anything to let anyone down..."
Wang Chong and Xie Mengmeng raised their heads one after another and looked at Fang Zhicheng in surprise, only to see a warm smile on the corner of his mouth.
Fang Zhicheng continued, "But it's obviously inconvenient for the two of you to work in the same department. China Merchants Group plans to set up offices in Yunhai and Shenzhou next year. I hope one of you will go out."
"Me!" Wang Chong and Xie Mengmeng said in unison.
Fang Zhicheng smiled slightly and said calmly: "We will decide on this matter when the time is right. Now you should be prepared, complete your work, and keep your distance. Don't let your colleagues gossip and avoid disputes. As for other pressures, I will help you to bear them."
Wang Chong and Xie Mengmeng left one after another. Fang Zhicheng tapped his fingers lightly on the desk. Luo Hui was obviously not going to swallow this anger so easily. The county government would soon be under pressure like a landslide and tsunami.
Qian Dechen had been dissatisfied with him for a long time, so he arranged for Luo Hui to suppress him. Since the storm was bound to come sooner or later, it would be better to light the fuse earlier.
Chapter 0208 The Courage to Argue
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Zhicheng received a call from the county magistrate's office. Ten minutes later, he entered the office and saw Sun Weiming making tea. His face did not look as angry as he had imagined, but rather seemed somewhat calm.
"Please take a seat!" Sun Weiming pointed to the seat opposite and said with a faint smile.
Fang Zhicheng sat down calmly, pondering Sun Weiming's psychological state. Luo Hui and he were not in the same camp. If Luo Hui said that he was wrong in front of Sun Weiming, it would naturally cause Sun Weiming's disgust. On the other hand, the growing conflict between Luo Hui and himself was exactly what Sun Weiming wanted to see.
Sun Weiming's attitude towards Fang Zhicheng has always been clear. He uses the means of winning him over because he values Fang Zhicheng's power in the municipal party committee. Qian Dechen has been rooted in Dongtai County for many years and his strength is unshakable. If Sun Weiming wants to make further progress, he must use external forces. Song Wendi has not been in Yinzhou City for long, and is naturally hostile to Qian Dechen's deep-rooted old forces. If he can skillfully use many aspects of the problem, he can naturally achieve good results.
