Six o'clock in the evening, in front of Longcheng Administrative Office.
Many police officers from the police station patrolled here, occasionally dispersing some people who came to protest.
A black car drove over and drove along a special passage that had been specially opened.
Kong Zhenghui sat in the car, watching the busy police officers on both sides. Many people were more persistent, holding banners and shouting loudly, completely ignoring the police officers' dissuasion.
"Advocate peaceful negotiations! Reject armed conflict!"
“Advocacy…”
These people shouted the same slogan and their expressions were very excited.
“Squeak—”
The car stopped, and Kong Zhenghui retracted his gaze, straightened his collar, and walked into the administrative hall under the protection of several police officers.
The entire administrative hall was brightly lit, and everyone was working overtime, extremely busy.
Soon, Kong Zhenghui took the elevator alone and arrived at the door of the conference room. When he pushed the door open and looked inside, he found that almost everyone had arrived.
The top leaders of the entire Huatong Society, such as Su Tianbei, Zhang Taotao, Wei Xiangzuo, Lu Feng, Zhou Tonghui, and even Wang Xiao, also came.
Leaders at the vice-chairman level and above, scattered here and there, totaling about twenty people, filled the conference hall.
"Zhenghui, sit here!" Zhou Tonghui waved his hand, and Kong Zhenghui walked over and sat next to him.
The leader had not arrived yet. Although there were many people in the conference room, the atmosphere was a bit depressing and everyone looked unhappy.
Kong Zhenghui looked at them one by one. Su Tianbei was chatting with Lu Feng in a low voice, Zhang Taotao was sorting documents with her head down, and Wei Xiangzuo was sitting next to them with his eyes closed in deep thought.
The remaining cadres were also talking to each other and discussing quietly.
Wang Xiao, who was sitting opposite, was sitting there alone, smoking silently, and seemed to be sizing up everyone.
After a long silence, Wang Xiao's eyes fell on Zhang Taotao and he suddenly asked, "President Zhang, what are you busy with?"
Zhang Taotao raised her head and answered politely, "I have several investment proposals recently and I need to sort them out. If Brigade Commander Wang is interested, he can also invest some money to try."
"I'll let it go." Wang Xiao waved his hand: "But Dragon City is in such a mess, won't your business be affected?"
Zhang Taotao thought for a moment and said without missing a beat: "The situation is a little tense now, but we just need to follow the policy and try our best to maintain stability. We should do what needs to be done."
Kong Zhenghui was listening on the side and whispered, "How can this thing be stable? Now that the fleet of District 1 is coming, we in Longcheng can only close the sea! We are also a port city. How many people make a living by the sea? Their interests are directly hindered? Naturally, they will make trouble! Didn't the news today report that most of the people shouting slogans are from the docks. These people can't make money, and they don't let us be happy. In my opinion, the problem is not on our side, it's that group of people who are making trouble!"
When Zhang Taotao heard this, her brows furrowed and she said nothing.
Wei Xiangzuo on the side opened his eyes at some point and was looking at this side with a gloomy expression.
Wang Xiao smoked a cigarette, grinned, and said nothing.
Zhou Tonghui couldn't help it, and secretly kicked Kong Zhenghui under the table, signaling him to stop talking.
Kong Zhenghui was unmoved by his friend's reminder, and continued: "The current strategy of District 1 is obviously to oppress us internally and force us to cause chaos first. Some people just fell into their trap! They really did it!"
At this point, even Lu Feng couldn't help but look at him and frowned.
Su Tianbei said directly: "Okay, Zhenghui, why are you saying this?"
Kong Zhenghui intervened and said, "We are here today to discuss issues. Am I wrong in what I said?"
Wei Xiangzuo finally couldn't sit still anymore, looked at Kong Zhenghui, and said in a deep voice: "Are you saying something else?"
Kong Zhenghui immediately replied: "No, I am just doing normal analysis. If I can't find the problem, then holding meetings every day is just a waste of time."
Wei Xiangzuo said bluntly: "What are you analyzing? Don't you just want to say that the troublemakers are all from the dock association? Now that the sea ban has been implemented, many of us can't eat. How can we not be anxious? We are already putting pressure on us, and everyone is eating from the same bowl. You don't want to think about how to solve the problem now, but come here to divide the camps and share the responsibilities. Is this interesting?"
Kong Zhenghui intervened and looked at him: "The problem is not on our side? Then how to solve it? Should we go door to door and give money to the coders who are causing trouble?"
At this point, the smell of gunpowder became stronger, and Wei Xiangzuo's voice also carried some anger: "If you have something to say, just fire it directly, don't be sarcastic here."
Kong Zhenghui shook off Zhou Tonghui and gently pulled his hand, staring at Wei Xiangzuo and said, "If you don't like it, I can't help it. I'm just analyzing it normally. Besides, I don't understand. Some people have been caught in the act with irrefutable evidence, but the higher-ups are still conducting observations! I want to ask, what are they observing?! My brother's affair was not even cleared up, but he was called over twice! The other party set a trap, and we tortured him directly? Is this fair? Now all the people he manages are furious, doesn't he have any responsibility? Don't the management of your Old Coders Association have any responsibility?"
Wei Xiangzuo stood up and frowned, cursing, "Kong Zhenghui, you're going too far! What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that he didn't commit any crime? Will he be acquitted?! Are you here to mess with you?"
The atmosphere in the entire conference room suddenly became tense, and everyone frowned, thinking about how to persuade him.
Wang Xiao sat aside, smoking a cigarette and watching the two people arguing, with a slight smile on his face.
Zhang Taotao hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Forget it, forget it. The pressure is already great enough at this critical moment. Let's not quarrel among ourselves."
Lu Feng also stood up and said to Wei Xiangzuo, "Old Wei, please give me some face and say less."
Su Tianbei reminded Kong Zhenghui: "You should also be quiet for a while and stop making noise."
Kong Zhenghui said: "Solve the problem where it occurs. This is the most rational way."
“Bang!”
Wei Xiangzuo slammed the table, pointed at Kong Zhenghui's nose, and said word by word: "Mr. Kong, there are some things I have been holding back. Now I am laying them out here. You'd better hope that Gu Baishun really betrays me. Then I will definitely not say anything and watch him be sentenced to death! But if he doesn't, and I find out that you are the one who is interfering... I tell you, I will never forgive you!"
Zhou Tonghui frowned and said with some dissatisfaction: "What are you doing? Is it necessary to say this much?"
"Alright, alright, stop arguing!"
The room was noisy and full of tension.
At this moment, Su Tianbei, who was facing the door, suddenly changed his expression and said loudly: "Shut up, the leader is here!"
Everyone turned around suddenly and found that Li Mingsheng had been standing at the door at some point, with a gloomy look on his face.
He glanced at everyone and asked slowly, "You all look pretty spirited, right? How about giving each of you a gun, and you continue the meeting with the guns?"
Everyone immediately fell silent and stopped talking.
