No!
I can't just sit here and wait for death!
As for Geng Junyu's case, no matter how it's explained, it's a dead end.
Thinking of this.
Guo Linkun swept away his dejection.
He furrowed his brows and asked Liu Hao who was beside him, "I haven't heard about this matter, Director Liu, is it true?"
Liu Hao was taken aback.
He also understood in an instant.
Guo Linkun intended to push all the responsibility onto him.
Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp.
This is the logic of shirking responsibility in officialdom.
Liu Hao knew, as the head of the Environntal Bureau, it was impossible for him to pass the buck further down.
He had no choice but to steel his heart and nod as he said, "It's true, Geng Junyu was indeed arrested by the Environntal Bureau."
With a slap,
Liu Mingkai slamd his hand on the table.
He roared, "Outrageous, it's simply outrageous! Director Liu, explain yourself. Why did the Environntal Bureau arrest Geng Junyu?"
"Because… Because… Geng Junyu had been obstructing the production of the electroplating factory, and I did it also for the sake of Guyang City's GDP."
Liu Hao had no other choice but to appear more righteous.
Upon hearing this, Liu Mingkai was even more furious, indignantly saying, "I propose to relieve Comrade Liu Hao of his position as the director of the Environntal Bureau. Let the Disciplinary Committee handle this matter. Nobody objects, right?"
Who would dare object?
Even if everyone knew it was a setup by Chen Fang, they could only pretend to be unaware.
And so,
The fact of Liu Hao's unlawful detention was established.
That night at ten o'clock.
Geng Junyu was released.
At the sa ti, Liu Hao, the head of the Environntal Bureau, and Lian Zhuangfei, the head of the Integrated Law Enforcent Brigade, were taken away by the Disciplinary Committee.
The Public Security Bureau, on its part, revoked the state of alert for major criminal cases, and everything returned to normal.
For Chen Fang, it was a thoroughly satisfying victory.
Although Dou Qingquan and Guo Linkun had narrowly escaped trouble, both had taken a serious hit.
Guo Linkun was completely subdued this ti, and he did not confront Chen Fang head-on anymore in the following period.
Because of the sacrifice of Liu Hao,
His reputation also deteriorated drastically.
During the ti Chen Fang served in Guyang City, he had beco soone who was no longer sought after.
Similarly,
The loss was also a heavy blow for Dou Qingquan.
Not only did it cool the hearts of the local faction like Liu Hao, resulting in subordinates keeping their distance from him, it also made him lose face in the eyes of other leaders.
Of course, his hatred for Chen Fang grew day by day.
Hate as he might, Dou Qingquan still knew he had to avoid direct conflict.
Consequently, over the next month, no one dared to cause trouble for Chen Fang.
A few days after the resolution of Geng Junyu's matter,
Dong Youying and Xu Nuo bid farewell to Chen Fang and returned to Yuanjing.
Initially, before their departure, both won were worried about being reprimanded for not handling Chen Fang.
But it turned out exactly as Chen Fang had predicted.
Upon learning that neither family had managed to handle him, there were no complaints from either side.
The retaliation that Xu Yan had worried about also never occurred.
This was yet another significant victory.
In early July, Liu Mingkai presided over the executive committee eting.
He officially announced that all the preliminary preparations for the Economic Developnt Zone had been completed, and the leadership team would transition from preparatory work to officially engaging in investnt attraction.
Although it was still the early stages of the establishnt of the Economic Developnt Zone.
Quite a few companies had already co to inspect.
And a series of investnt contracts of various sizes had been signed.
But compared to expectations, there was still a significant shortfall.
Therefore, in addition to announcing the shift of strategic focus, Liu Mingkai also planned to select a leader primarily responsible for investnt attraction work.
This move was also to grant greater autonomy to the investnt attraction efforts.
After explaining his thoughts, Liu Mingkai looked towards Dou Qingquan and asked, "Mayor Dou, do you agree with my idea?"
Dou Qingquan nodded.
He said, "Indeed, investnt attraction is now the top priority for the Economic Developnt Zone. If the results of our investnt attraction are not satisfactory, then the large investnt we have made will be akin to throwing money into the water. During a recent inspection trip, not to ntion the whole country, but our province alone is busy with investnt attraction, with one policy more attractive than the next. This increases the difficulty of Guyang City's investnt attraction work, especially since Mayor Zhao Yiping of Wulan City established another technology park in the Jingshan District, which is akin to adding frost to snow for us."
A few months ago,
Guyang City had changed from being under the administration of Wulan City to being a county-level city directly managed by East River Province.
Although geographically still affiliated with Wulan City,
Wulan City actually no longer had much control over Guyang City.
Zhao Yiping, who masterminded the establishnt of the Guyang Economic Developnt Zone,
imdiately created a technology park in the Jingshan District.
It was the sa soup but with a different garnish, fundantally the sa as the Guyang Economic Developnt Zone.
Furthermore,
Zhao Yiping also provided substantial tax incentives for this technology park.
As a result, companies that had originally planned to invest in the Guyang Economic Developnt Zone flocked to the Jingshan District's technology park to throw their money.
To call it a stab in the back would not be too far-fetched.
But in an era where economics reigns supre, it was also within reason.
Dou Qingquan's words
were ant to illustrate the difficulty of investnt attraction; there was also a second point, he was speaking for Chen Fang and Liu Mingkai to hear.
He wanted to tell these two people,
that even though Guyang City was now directly managed by the province, Zhao Yiping still had enough ans to suppress them.
Upon hearing these words,
Liu Mingkai scoffed, saying to Dou Qingquan, "Comrade Qingquan, GDP is the main standard for governnt assessnts. If the investnt attraction work is not done well, you, as the head of the governnt, will be primarily responsible. I heard that you had a good relationship with Mayor Zhao Yiping when you worked in Wulan City. Why not ask Mayor Zhao to bestow so favor upon you?"
This was an outright mockery.
He wanted to tell Dou Qingquan,
aren't you a person from Zhao Yiping's side?
Now that he has established a technology park,
isn't that depriving you of a way out?
Unexpectedly, Dou Qingquan was not the least bit angry; instead, he turned to look at Chen Fang and said, "Executive Director Chen, Secretary Liu is right; GDP is our governnt's assessnt standard. Your ability in Guyang City is well recognized, how about you take the lead on this investnt attraction work?"
With that remark,
Liu Mingkai was montarily stunned.
He imdiately detected the ulterior motive.
It turned out Dou Qingquan had been planning a major move all along, targeting Chen Fang.
If Chen Fang agreed, he would bear all the responsibility for any lack of success in investnt attraction.
If he didn't agree, it would be Chen Fang's way of shirking responsibility, akin to picking and choosing, and being negligent at work, which wouldn't be an exaggeration.
This little trick,
how could Chen Fang not see through it?
He smiled slightly,
and asked, "Does Mayor Dou an for to clash with Mayor Zhao Yiping? If I win, I'll be cutting down Mayor Zhao's prestige, and if I lose, you'll also have the opportunity to accuse of inadequate performance at work, right?"
In one sentence, he exposed Dou Qingquan's sche.
This caused Dou Qingquan's face to alternate between pale and flushed.
Grinding his teeth, he asked, "Executive Director Chen doesn't think he lacks the ability to take over, does he?"
