You won't let me sit?
Witnessing Chen Fang, with a chilling expression and ruthless methods.
Even Geng Tiancheng, a veteran in the field, felt somewhat intimidated.
This young man, he doesn't care for the officialdom rules at all.
"The land beneath your feet belongs to our Gaokin County. I believe many of you are native to Gaokin County. Now that the flood peak is upon us, if the Longjiang Dam cannot hold, every single one of the 600,000 citizens of Gaokin County will suffer. Within these 600,000 people, there must be your relatives, friends, and children, right? When your hometown needs you, I don't know for what reasons you've made such a decision, but please search your conscience. Isn't the money you earn from the common people of Gaokin County?"
"If the Longjiang Dam fails to hold because of a few of you, it's not just about whether I have the power to deal with you. Even if I don't, the spit from the common people alone will be enough to drown you. The materials from your sand fields, I demand all of it be hauled out for me today, and I need your people to help with the packing. Unless you no longer wish to mix in Gaokin County's territory, I'm laying it out right here, right now."
The words of Chen Fang.
Were powerful and resonant.
The sand field owners present all fell silent.
At that moment.
A younger guy stood up.
He said, "Secretary-General Chen is right, Gaokin County is our home. If we don't help out when there's trouble at home, who will? I'm willing to contribute manpower and effort."
In any issue, as long as one person takes the lead.
Others will follow suit.
Now was no different.
One after another, they stood up, willing to agree to Chen Fang's request.
When it was finally Zhao Janguang's turn, he didn't dare to defy either.
Raising his hand, he said, "I'm willing to contribute manpower and effort as well."
In just fifteen minutes.
The issue that Geng Tiancheng had been unable to resolve was completely settled by Chen Fang using his forceful methods.
After these people had left.
Geng Tiancheng grabbed Chen Fang's hand, saying excitedly, "Secretary-General Chen, I owe you one. These people were so ungrateful. If you hadn't stepped in, I really wouldn't know what to do."
"Alright, Secretary Geng, let's not talk about anything else. Those sand and gravel from the fields will soon be transported to the dam. Please immediately arrange for packing and reinforcement of the dam."
"Got it, I'm on it right now."
And with that, Geng Tiancheng hurried off.
Chen Fang turned to Mayor Zou Changping and asked, "Is the list of engineering equipment ready?"
"It is prepared, but Secretary-General Chen, those operators are not like these owners. Using force to make them work doesn't seem realistic. Moreover, the site managers are unwilling to lend their machines to us."
Zou Changping said with a furrowed brow.
Chen Fang nodded, took the list and glanced over it.
He asked, "They refuse to lend them?"
Zou Changping sighed slightly, with a look of helplessness.
Obviously, the same trick can't be used twice.
Moreover, these engineering people, each with large family businesses and high statuses, could react badly if forced in the same manner.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Fang said to Zou Changping, "Notify these managers that if they do not comply with the government's orders by five o'clock this evening, their companies will be put on a blacklist for all future Gaokin County government projects."
"But..."
Zou Changping began to explain.
But Chen Fang cut him off: "I know what you want to say. You think this command won't coerce them, right? No worries, do as I say, and I'll handle the rest."
"Alright, Secretary-General Chen. I'll do it right now."
Zou Changping also turned and left immediately.
At this moment, Chen Fang had calmed down.
Zhao Yiyi walked over to his side, handing him a bottle of water.
"Thank you."
Chen Fang took the water and said.
Zhao Yiyi asked, "Secretary-General Chen, I'm afraid the same threat won't work on these construction teams, will it?"
"I know, I'm giving them a chance. If they don't cherish it, then I'll use my backup measures."
"You have backup measures? What are they?"
Zhao Yiyi asked in surprise.
Chen Fang slightly smiled and said, "I'll keep it a secret for now. You'll know when the time comes."
Looking at the confident Chen Fang.
If it were earlier, Zhao Yiyi wouldn't have believed him at all.
But seeing how he easily resolved the crisis with the sand and gravel, she had a premonition that there was more to Chen Fang than she had imagined.
Just as Zou Changping had said.
When the government issued the notice.
The bosses or persons in charge of several major construction sites in Gaokin County were gathered together to "discuss plans."
Their subordinates brought in the received information.
Someone sneered, "It seems these high and mighty bigwigs are at their wits' end, starting to use such lowly threatening tactics."
"Hahaha, I heard that the bosses of the sand quarries were taught a lesson by that Secretary-General Chen. Aren't you guys afraid of facing the same treatment?"
"He wouldn't dare! Even if he had the guts, he wouldn't dare. What status do those quarry bosses have, and what status do we sit here have? Don't mention him being the Municipal Government Secretary-General. Even if he were the Municipal Party Committee Secretary-General, he wouldn't dare do this. Anyway, we've already given the heads up, I'll just drag this out, I really want to see how he's going to pressure us."
"Exactly, as long as we stick together and stand firm, they can't do anything to us. Trust me on this."
Everyone voiced their opinions.
Each one appeared confident.
Soon.
The time reached five o'clock.
After a whole afternoon of lighthearted chatter.
They were somewhat tired.
One of them stood up and said, "Secretary-General Chen's deadline has passed and nothing happened, we don't need to drag this out anymore. Let's go home, everyone, back to your own places."
"Hahaha… Actually, I was quite looking forward to something happening, really wanted to see what that guy could do."
Someone echoed.
Another person also laughed loudly, "Tactics? What tactics? I guess he's frantically hopping mad by now?"
As this was said.
The whole room burst into laughter.
At that moment.
One person's phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the call, held it to his ear, and no one knew what was said on the other end, but this guy suddenly stood up, astonished, and asked, "What did you say? Say it again?"
This unexpected development attracted everyone's attention.
He slowly put down the phone.
With a stunned look in his eyes.
An onlooker asked, "Mr. Li, what's happened? You look so scared?"
This Mr. Li, after scanning everyone, took a deep breath and said, "At the highway entrance, dozens of pieces of engineering equipment have rolled in, all with their workers and fuel…"
As he spoke.
Everyone was shocked.
"Impossible, how could this be possible? Wulan City doesn't have that much equipment to begin with, and even if it did, it would have been requisitioned by the municipal government long ago…"
Someone questioned.
