The Beautiful County Magistrate
Chapter 256: The Second Steal Home!

Chapter 256: Chapter 256: The Second Steal Home!

Lan Qianrong didn’t dare to intervene, and Fan Wenbin was truly at a loss.

He could only watch helplessly as several cadres were suspended by the County Disciplinary Committee; he was beyond anger.

Damn Xu Qianli, that despicable bastard, taking advantage when he and the cadres of Qingshan Town were not at the government complex, bringing people from the County Disciplinary Committee and Public Security Bureau to search all offices, and then suspending seven more cadres all at once. Such methods were too domineering, too lacking in honor!

He had thought that by taking away all the cadres he could intimidate Xu Qianli, only to find that he had handed his home turf over to Xu Qianli, allowing the bastard to rob him blind.

Now, he regretted it down to his bones.

Unfortunately, regret was useless.

The County Disciplinary Committee acted quickly, calling a truck to load up those possessions and stuffing the people into cars before swiftly taking them away.

As he watched the County Disciplinary Committee’s people leave, the remaining cadres each felt an immense sense of relief.

Thank goodness they hadn’t kept their possessions in the office, or else they’d be doomed as well.

Especially for those who had transferred items from their offices after Li Zhu had been suspended, they felt an incredible stroke of luck.

With some feeling frightened and others relieved, more people gathered around Fan Wenbin.

"Village Chief Fan, with such a big incident today, what do you think we should do?"

"Without bringing up other points, that Xu Qianli is just too hard to deal with. He struck so ruthlessly, we can’t just do nothing, can we?"

"He’s made it clear he wants to take over Qingshan Town using the most domineering means. If we let him continue like this, we’re all done for."

"Village Chief Fan, you’ve got to make a decision."

Someone spoke up, and all eyes were on Fan Wenbin.

They had all been Li Zhu’s people, but after his suspension, they had thrown their lot in with Fan Wenbin.

Now, Fan Wenbin was their pillar; he had to come up with a plan, a way to cope.

Otherwise, if they allowed Xu Qianli to continue wreaking havoc, it was doubtful any of them would escape unscathed.

Fan Wenbin said, "Everyone, don’t panic. The methods Xu Qianli used today were too overbearing and don’t adhere to the rules of officialdom. Not to mention our Qingshan Town, there must be many in the county who are annoyed with him. Here is what I’ll do: I’ll head to the county right now; there are people there who can deal with him!"

No sooner said than done, Fan Wenbin immediately set off in a rush to the county town to seek out Lan Qianrong.

Even though Lan Qianrong had said that the suspension of several cadres was based on irrefutable evidence from the County Disciplinary Inspection Committee and she could not intervene, surely there was a way to deal with Xu Qianli.

No sooner had Fan Wenbin left than a person walked out from the office building, casually approaching the group of Qingshan Town cadres.

Upon seeing him, almost everyone felt a chill down their spines.

For no other reason than that this person was none other than Xu Qianli!

He had already taken down Li Zhu, casting a shadow over all the cadres of Qingshan Town, leaving many of them scared of him.

On his first day in office, he had been ruthlessly efficient, suspending eight people including the Police Station Director Ma Qianjin and the Finance Office Director Zhao Feng. One could not be more ruthless.

Facing such a man, the group was ill at ease.

Being stared at by him felt like being watched by the most ferocious tiger.

Xu Qianli, on the other hand, approached them amiably with a smile, cleared his throat, and began to speak.

"I suppose you all must be cursing me, Xu Qianli, in your hearts?"

"Actually, I also know it wasn’t very upright. How could I, on my very first day, bring comrades from the County Disciplinary Committee to search each of your offices? It really was quite inappropriate."

"But really, it wasn’t my fault, and it wasn’t what I set out to do; it was a task from the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee."

"The City Disciplinary Inspection Committee believed there were serious problems with the integrity establishment in Qingshan Town and had long ago assigned the task to conduct a general investigation of all the cadres in Qingshan Town."

"I thought about it. If we really did that, how could the government work in Qingshan Town continue? So I persuaded the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee to take it easy, just a token gesture would do."

"Eventually, the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee came up with an idea, letting me take the people from the County Disciplinary Committee, to just conduct a search of all the offices."

"It would have been better not to search at all, for the search was quite a shock. We actually found seven cadres with problems, truly alarming, very frightening indeed."

"However, fortunately, after such a search, it cleared everyone’s name here, didn’t it?"

Xu Qianli buck-passed everything completely onto the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee. After all, the authority of the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee was significant, and he wasn’t afraid these people would really go there to cause trouble, making the Committee take the blame was the most appropriate.

While shifting the blame, Xu Qianli also gave a fierce knock to the officials present.

The meaning within his words was clear to all the officials present, each person was scared out of their wits.

Where was Xu Qianli talking about their innocence? He was clearly hinting that their official hats were all firmly in Xu Qianli’s grip!

If today he could handle eight cadres, tomorrow he could take down eighteen. Anyone who dared to disobey would have no right to blame him for his lack of politeness!

The faces of the crowd were not looking good, exchanging glances with one another, secretly thinking that this new Party Secretary of the town was really damn difficult to deal with.

Could they really cope with such a tough person?

Just as everyone was trembling with fear, Xu Qianli suddenly dropped a bombshell.

"Although I’ve just arrived at Qingshan Town, I’ve had a concrete plan for the development of Qingshan Town for a long time, just thinking about discussing it with everyone."

"Taking the opportunity of today, let’s hold an expanded work meeting of the Qingshan Town Party Committee, and all cadres can participate."

"To avoid the disturbance of noise disrupting the meeting process, everyone here, hand over your mobile phones immediately."

At Xu Qianli’s command, the crowd’s heads grew bigger.

Damn it, the guy took advantage of everyone’s absence from the government building, and swept through first.

And now he’s taking the opportunity while Fan Wenbin has gone to the county, to hold a meeting to discuss the future development of Qingshan Town; it’s obvious he’s planning to sweep through again.

And he’s demanding everyone to hand over their phones, clearly not wanting Fan Wenbin to make it back in time, sweeping through so dominantly; this guy is really ruthless.

A lot of people cursed all of Xu Qianli’s ancestors in their hearts.

Displeased as they were, they still obediently handed over their phones.

Not for any other reason but because the man was too overbearing; his actions were too brutal; no one dared to openly offend him now.

After collecting all the mobile phones, Xu Qianli let his two female bodyguards watch over them and then led all the cadres, big and small, of Qingshan Town to the conference hall for the meeting.

After a brief opening, Xu Qianli immediately presented his ideas for the development of Qingshan Town’s tourism resources, attracting investment, and the construction and development of Qingshan Town’s tourism resources.

After expounding on his ideas, he announced that they would proceed to the voting phase.

After speaking, he was the first to raise his hand, then swept a seemingly amused glance at all the cadres present.

He was curious to see who among these people had the guts to oppose him.

Everyone looked around at each other, and finally, in rapid succession, they all raised their hands; no one dared not to.

Xu Qianli finally showed a trace of a smile.

"I announce that the Qingshan Town tourism investment and development plan is unanimously approved!"
