Li Da Kang furrowed his brow, this matter was indeed suspicious!
He had been in Jingzhou for several years now. Li Da Kang, the city party secretary, was no mere figurehead or someone completely sidelined. He truly understood some things.
Especially within Jingzhou’s cadre ranks, Sun Lian Cheng was a unique case!
Sun Lian Cheng was a diligent and pragmatic man with a clean and honest work style. He had a good reputation within Jingzhou’s officialdom with few negative rumors.
While he wasn’t flashy, he strived for perfection in every task, and it was said that he put in a great deal of effort in the Guangming Peak project.
Especially a few days ago, the matter concerning Cai Cheng Gong and Da Feng Factory was discovered by him. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a solution today.
Upon hearing Ding Yi Zhen’s report, Li Da Kang couldn’t help but feel suspicious. Was there something else behind this?
“Yi Zhen Comrade, what are the specifics of the report? Have you investigated it thoroughly?”
Ding Yi Zhen replied with some hesitation, “Secretary Li, the report is quite general, lacking specific examples. It only mentions in passing that some of District Chief Sun’s actions may be problematic. I originally wanted to investigate it myself, but considering the sensitivity of the matter, I decided to report it to you first.”
Li Da Kang pondered for a moment and said, “Alright, first hand me the report. I’ll have someone conduct a preliminary investigation. Until we have concrete evidence, we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. At the same time, stay vigilant and gather more information for future handling.”
“Alright, Secretary Li, I will be careful.”
Li Da Kang didn’t really take it to heart. Such things often happened with other cadres. What else were the Discipline Committee and the Anti-Corruption Bureau for?
But when it came to Sun Lian Cheng, he wasn’t so sure.
However, he never expected that this was merely the beginning. More problems would be directed at Sun Lian Cheng!
…
After leaving the city party committee, Ding Yi Zhen quickly contacted the city Finance Bureau and prepared the relocation funds for Da Feng Factory.
The next day, Sun Lian Cheng, together with Ding Yi Zhen and others, made a grand appearance at Da Feng Factory.
They were accompanied by several heads of departments from the district government, as well as several mainstream media reporters from Jingzhou city.
A grand ceremony was held at Da Feng Factory to distribute the relocation funds. Sun Lian Cheng presided over the meeting, while Ding Yi Zhen gave a key speech, conveying the spirit of Secretary Li from the city party committee…
The reporters took photos throughout the entire event, and even Sun Lian Cheng was on camera.
After the formalities were over, the distribution of relocation funds began.
Sun Lian Cheng personally supervised from the side, watching the money being handed out to the workers.
It was ironic. This money should have been used for more critical purposes, but it was wasted like this. It was unclear if it could be recovered.
The workers without equity were happy to receive their money, and those with equity wouldn’t complain about getting more.
Initially, Zheng Xi Po and his disciple, Wang Wen Ge, were quite pleased. After all, things were half-solved, and it was a good start.
But as the distribution progressed, some workers without equity began to resign!
Even though Da Feng Factory still had some unfinished work, they lost the motivation to stay. They didn’t have equity, and the factory was destined to be demolished. There was no future in staying, so they might as well find a job earlier.
Currently, Jingzhou’s economy was quite good. It was easy to find a job with modest requirements.
Everyone had their families and lives. No one thought of clinging to Da Feng Factory.
When Ding Yi Zhen, Sun Lian Cheng, and others finished distributing the relocation funds, and everyone received their share, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became lively.
At this point, Zheng Xi Po and the others were influenced. They thought that Ding Yi Zhen and Sun Lian Cheng were good officials, as they actually helped them resolve the relocation fund issue.
But no one informed them, and Zheng Xi Po and the others didn’t anticipate the problem of building a new Da Feng Factory, which also saved Sun Lian Cheng and the others a lot of trouble.
The meeting was a huge success, and everyone was very satisfied. The workers expressed their support for the work of the district committee and the district government, cooperating with the city’s construction, striving to develop the economy well, and working together towards prosperity.
The media reporters even got an explosive piece of news. After this meeting, the Guangming Peak project would likely begin in earnest and on a grand scale.
The meeting concluded successfully, and Ding Yi Zhen, Sun Lian Cheng, and others quickly left.
Of course, Ding Yi Zhen and Sun Lian Cheng could see the hidden problems, but they each had their own thoughts and didn’t say anything for now.
It was just that the situation at Da Feng Factory gradually began to change, and those who were paying attention noticed.
Especially Zheng Xi Po and the others, they started to feel more and more uneasy.
“Not good, they’re all gone. Can we, just the equity-holding workers, protect the factory? Can we get our equity back?”
“Yeah, we were able to block the demolition team before because we had more people. But now, just with us, less than five hundred equity-holding employees, can we really do it?”
“The demolition team doesn’t have that many people either, but we have fewer, and the momentum isn’t strong enough!”
“Yeah, if the momentum isn’t strong, how can we attract attention? How can we make them hesitant?”
“Chairman Zheng, what do you think we should do?”
“Chairman Zheng, we all depend on you to make the decision. You can’t give up!”
“Chairman Zheng…”
The crowd was in an uproar, losing their previous excitement.
Although Zheng Xi Po was a poet, he also had many worldly desires and a lot of petty thoughts.
Because of Chen Yan Shi’s previous guidance, he wasn’t too worried now.
“Okay, listen to me! The relocation funds have been distributed. Now, we must reclaim our rightful rights, which is to clarify the equity issue.”
“So, we should form an equity-holding association, hire lawyers and professionals, gather evidence, and sue Shan Shui Group. We must get back our rightful rights!”
“What do you say?”
The crowd praised him, making Zheng Xi Po quite pleased.
But the next problem was a bit tricky because it involved taking money out of everyone’s pockets.
Fortunately, Zheng Xi Po had decent abilities, and his prestige and credibility were trusted by the workers. So, in the end, they managed to scrape together enough money for the lawsuit.
Zheng Xi Po then took several representatives and eagerly went to see Chen Hai.
After all, Chen Hai was a professional, and they needed his advice.
Li Da Kang was also closely following the situation at Da Feng Factory. Knowing that Ding Yi Zhen had taken the money to distribute the relocation funds, he instructed his secretary to stay informed and keep him updated.
When Ding Yi Zhen and the others returned to Guangming District Government, the secretary had already passed on the news.
Li Da Kang was very satisfied with this, as if he had already seen the Guangming Peak project completed under his leadership, achieving remarkable success and then being promoted to governor…
What a beautiful prospect!
