Chapter 1043: Chapter 1043: Go with the Flow 4

Feng Qingxue glanced at Secretary Zheng, "Didn’t you say that Li Chengdong was promoted from above? Can you replace him without the approval from above? If you don’t have that power, Ajiang and I will go directly to the municipal committee, to save you the trouble."

Upon hearing this, Secretary Zheng and both the township head and deputy laughed.

"Replacing him, of course, can’t be decided by us alone; we have to report it," Chen, the township head, carefully explained. "Li Chengdong’s guilt is proven. The person who promoted him from above would only feel embarrassed. Thinking of their own future, they certainly won’t come forward to defend Li Chengdong. Besides, what gives a county committee member the right to prove Li Chengdong’s innocence?"

Although Chen, the township head, didn’t spell it out clearly, both Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue understood in an instant.

Secretary Zheng glanced at Chen, the township head, "Alright, alright, the matters above are too complicated, let’s not meddle blindly!"

Chen, the township head, smiled and stopped talking, lifting an enamel tankard to take a drink of water.

After swallowing a mouthful of water, he suddenly remembered that Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue had walked over in the hot weather and seemed not to have had a sip of water since entering, so he quickly stood up, washed two enamel Gangzi, poured them water, and handed them over.

"Drink water, drink water. Look at my memory. You two drink first; we can talk slowly."

Seeing that Chen, the deputy township head, was much more enthusiastic towards Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue than Secretary Zheng, he couldn’t help but glance at him.

Chen, the township head, didn’t notice his colleague’s opinion of him, and after Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue had both taken a drink, he began, "Comrades, the issue of Comrade Feng Shuanzhu being maliciously slandered as a landlord and the incident of Li Chengdong insulting an active-duty female soldier have both been handed to us. We will definitely give Qingxue and Comrade Feng Shuanzhu an explanation."

Feng Qingxue said indifferently, "I hope you comrades keep your word and don’t let a conscientious and dedicated elder from the Caohu brigade go to his grave with regrets! The old leader cared most about the living conditions of the people; whether it was me or my father-in-law and uncle, the old leader always asked most about the issues concerning the people when we were in front of him. ’To be the people’s teacher, first be the student of the people.’ This is the original saying of the old leader, which we have always kept in mind. As public servants, shouldn’t we do even more so?"

The three officials present suddenly remembered that, although Lu Jiang held a high position, Feng Qingxue was the one who had been to the Capital and received by the old leader; Li Chengdong was simply courting death.

After the couple took their leave, Secretary Zheng and the township head and deputy returned to the office, staring at each other, dumbfounded.

Chen, the township head, broke the silence, "I said that Li Chengdong was no good. You initially said he was just an inexperienced bumpkin who could see no further than his village, a small-minded man who had become arrogant after a little success, but would not be able to cause any major trouble. Now look what’s happened. In an instant, he’s stirred up a huge storm, sinking his own boat in the process!"

Secretary Zheng said, "Li Chengdong is just a petty man. Isn’t his misfortune a cause for everyone’s delight? We should take this opportunity to take him down, lest he think he can boss us around just because he’s a brigade leader! Pah, what a joke!"
