He Qing's mood calmed down, and he smiled: "Complaints are complaints, but work still needs to be done. If it really doesn't work out, we can hide and praise ourselves. However, the entire town has collapsed over 120 houses, and the proportion of families in extreme poverty is particularly high. The county's disaster relief funds are less than 100,000 yuan, which cannot solve all the problems..."

  "First, we'll provide 1,000 yuan to each household affected by the disaster, and the injured will receive full treatment at the town's hospital," Shen Hua said. "Those who can't stay with relatives or friends are temporarily housed in the town's school classrooms for the Spring Festival. Money is not a problem, I think the city will also allocate some disaster relief funds in the next two days. If not, we'll first allocate 1 million yuan from the steel factory to use. The town will also launch a donation campaign. However, it's difficult to help the victims rebuild their homes before the new semester starts, and the town needs a batch of transitional housing..."

  "It's impossible to finish the transitional house before school starts," said Li Feng, "It's a big holiday, but after the fifth day of the new year, neither the construction site nor several contractors can get workers..."

  "The contract period of the printing and dyeing factory has expired, I pressed for not renewing the contract, thinking that Pan Shigui would change the chaotic pollution," Shen Huai said. "It seems that there is no need to give Pan Shigui another chance. In special circumstances, we should take special measures. I think we can immediately shut down the printing and dyeing factory and use its workshops as a temporary resettlement point to solve the problem of transitional housing. What do you think?"

  "What about the hundred or so workers in the weaving and dyeing factory?" asked He Qing She.

  "Chu Yiliang has always said that he wants to expand production, hasn't he? After the weaving and dyeing factory closed down, there was a problem with the workers, so they came to him to digest it." Shen Huai said.

  " 行." Pan Shigui, the contractor of the weaving and dyeing factory, used to follow Du Jian's instructions. Neither Li Feng nor He Qing had received any benefits from him. Shen Huai decided to shut down the weaving and dyeing factory. There were no problems with the procedures, as long as they could resolve the workers' issues, they would naturally comply.

  "That's it, then the town government and the Assets Office will draft a notice," Shen Hua said, "I'll call Hu Yi-liang over to discuss the matter of accepting workers..."

  He Qing didn't want to offend anyone, but at this time he could only silently accept it and said: "Alright, I'll go with Guo Quan to do this."

  Some things he and Li Feng didn't charge forward together, so should Shen Hua go up and block the firepower?

  After Shenhuai Guan stopped the weaving and dyeing factory, Zhu Yiliang was responsible for meeting with workers and made it clear that this was a continuation of the previous joint venture to establish Zilu Home Textiles Co., Ltd.

  Shen Huai made it clear that he wanted to support Chu Yiliang, and He Qing thought that since he had benefited from Chu Yiliang many times before, now was the time for him to take a stand and do some pioneering work.

  Watching He Qing Society walk out of the office, Shen Huai also let out a gentle sigh.

  He was previously a deputy secretary and relied on Tan Qiping as his backer, joining forces with He Qing to suppress Du Jian, so he got along well with He Qing.

  Now he is the party secretary, and He Qing She is still the town mayor. Whether He Qing She can cooperate with him to do his job, or whether he will have other ideas, Shen Hua is still somewhat worried. After all, in the domestic officialdom system, it is extremely difficult for the party and government leaders to get along harmoniously.

  Shut down the dyeing factory, Shen Huai really didn't have the energy to take care of everything, and needed someone to share the burden with him. But handing it over to He Qing's responsibility was also a test of his attitude.

  ***************

  Chu Yiliang received the phone call and rushed to the town, as soon as the car entered the government compound, Chu Yiliang's people had not yet gotten off the car when they ran into Pan Shigui, the contractor of the dyeing factory.

  Pan Shigui's eyes turned gloomy as he looked over, as if he wanted to stab Chu Yiliang twice. In a sinister tone, he said: "Brother Chu, I usually think you're a smooth talker and a yes-man, but I didn't expect you to be so ruthless at critical moments!"

  Shen Hua has always been dissatisfied with the textile dyeing factory's discharge of pollutants into the Tongtang River, and is willing to shut down the factory, even if it means that the town will lose tens of millions of yuan in contract fees each year, which can be made up for from other sources. This would also solve the biggest pollution problem along the Tongtang River. The key issue now is how to resolve the livelihood problems of over a hundred workers after the factory is shut down.

  Shen Hua repeatedly asked Pan Shigui to rectify the pollution problem of the dyeing and weaving factory, but Pan Shigui always pushed it away with excuses that there was no factory, no efficiency, and workers had to eat. Before Shen Hua took the position of party secretary, Du Jian also mentioned the issue of workers' rice bowls, so Shen Hua couldn't use coercive measures against the dyeing and weaving factory.

  As long as Chu Yiliang can take over the more than 100 workers, Shen Huai doesn't need to worry about what Pan Shigui will think; taking advantage of this opportunity to arrange for the affected masses, a batch of transitional houses needs to be urgently prepared, decisively cutting off Pan Shigui and shutting down the weaving and dyeing factory.

  There is no cadre who can get benefits from Ping Shi in the town usually.

  He Qing Society found Guo Quan and the two secretaries of the Party and Government Office to discuss how to draft a suitable document. The news that the town had decided to shut down the dyeing factory immediately reached Pan Shigui's ears. Pan Shigui had no other choice but to rush to the town before the formal documents were issued to see if there was any room for maneuver.

  Several times when the town's assets were handled to urge the weaving and dyeing factory to rectify, it was always Chou Yiliang's son with a unlucky face. Pan Shigui had long suspected that Chou Yiliang was secretly sabotaging him. Now seeing Chou Yiliang appearing in the town government at the same time, he confirmed his previous speculation, and his anger surged up, unable to help but use words to stab Chou Yiliang.

  The textile dyeing factory and the blanket factory are adjacent to each other, both of which have wastewater to be discharged into Tongtang River. However, the amount of pollutants discharged by the textile dyeing factory is much larger. In the past, the town government required the two factories to rectify their pollution, so Zhu Yiliang spent 500,000 yuan to build a sewage treatment pool and purchase wastewater treatment equipment. Since then, Pan Shigui has felt that Zhu Yiliang is not upright and hypocritical, and has been intentionally making things difficult for him.

  This time, I heard that the town is going to let Chu Yiliang take charge of receiving the workers from the weaving and dyeing factory. Although Chu Yiliang was forced by the town, he agreed to it. Pan Shigui hated him so much that he wanted to curse his ancestors for eight generations: this was originally his biggest capital to blackmail the town, but Chu Yiliang helped dissolve it away.

  "What did Director Pan say? I didn't quite catch it," said Yu Yiliang, forcing a smile on his face and pretending to be confused.

  He knew that this time he would accept the workers of the dyeing factory, and Pan Shigui would definitely be offended, but he also knew that in order to do things, no one wanted to offend anyone, there was no such good thing in the world.

  Another thing, Shen Hua did not accept his gift and did not owe him a favor, but he has been actively promoting the establishment of a joint venture company. Now Shen Hua also wants to solve the pollution problem of Tongtang River and the resettlement problem of the affected people, wanting to remove one or two small nails, Chu Yiliang does not come forward to charge into the trap, but still wants to continue hiding behind and enjoying the benefits, is there such a good thing in the world?

  Shutting down the weaving and dyeing factory will also be beneficial for the soon-to-be-established Zilu Home Textiles Co., Ltd.

  Nowadays, the weaving and dyeing factory is adjacent to the blanket factory. The north side is Tongtang River, the south side is Xiamei Highway, and both sides are residential areas. Neither of the two factories has a larger development space. If you don't want to spend a lot of money to start another project, the blanket factory wants to develop, it must take over the weaving and dyeing factory. The weaving and dyeing factory wants to develop, it must take over the blanket factory.

  Now the weaving and dyeing factory has been closed down, it is used as a temporary relocation point for the affected masses. After some time, it will be allocated to the newly established Chai Luo Home Textiles Co., Ltd., which is a natural thing to do.

  Even for this, Ou Yiliang had to help Shen Huai shut down the weaving and dyeing factory, and was afraid that Pan Shigui would remember the hatred.

  Wei Yiliang and Pan Shigui entered the office together, while He Qing was discussing the wording of the notice with Guo Quan in the outer office. Seeing Pan Shigui follow them in, he knew that someone downstairs couldn't keep their mouth shut and had leaked the news prematurely.

  Seeing Pan Shigui rushing into Shen Hua's office, He Qing shouted loudly: "Director Pan, what are you doing? Have some discipline! You dare to barge into Secretary Shen's office?"

  "The town is going to shut down my dyeing and weaving factory. If I don't go to Secretary Shen to complain, who should I go to?" Pan Shigui also came with a rogue attitude.

  "It's good that you know about this. This is the decision made by Secretary Shen, Secretary Li Feng and me. I was just about to look for you to talk about this. If you have anything else, you can also come find me." He Qing She said.

  Shut down the dyeing factory and build a temporary settlement point. Shen Huai, He Qing She, and Li Feng divided their tasks: Shen Huai was in charge of persuading Chu Yi Liang to accept the workers; He Qing She was responsible for the specific shutdown of the dyeing factory; Li Feng was responsible for finding several contractors in the town to try to start work after the new year.

  It wasn't until after the fifth day of the new year that they found construction workers to renovate the factory building, which may have delayed the start of school.

  "What's it to you?" Pan Shigui had never looked down on He Qingshe from the heart, seeing He Qingshe wanting to stop him, he glared and scolded.

  "How did you talk to He Zhenchang?" Shen Huan opened the door and stood at Pan Shigui's door, looking sternly at the man in front of him who was equally famous with Chu Yiliang in Meixi Town.

  Pan Shigui is a powerful figure in Meixi Town, his elder cousin Pan Shihua is the deputy minister of the Organization Department of Donghua Municipal Party Committee. Normally, even within Xiapu County, no one wants to offend Pan Shigui.

  In the past, except for Secretary Du Jian, He Qing She, Li Feng and other town officials didn't take Pan Shigui seriously.

  Shen Huai came to Mei Xi Town, and Pan Shigui was also lukewarm towards him. They had only met twice before. Later, he wanted to tackle the pollution problem of the weaving and dyeing factory, but Pan Shigui kept hiding and never showed up. Shen Huai had a deep impression of this fat-faced and thin-eyed guy.

  Shen Huai originally wanted to hand this guy over to He Qing She, but he didn't expect him to insult He Qing She as soon as he opened his mouth. In the outer office, he brazenly opened the door and stared fiercely at Pan Shigui, scolding: "Immediately apologize to Mayor He, don't think I won't deal with you..."

  As soon as Shen Huai arrived in Meixi Town, he dared to crash the mayor's son's car. Pan Shigui, although a rascal, didn't dare confront Shen Huai face-to-face and said with a fallen face: "The textile mill has been contracted by me all these years, I have feelings for the factory. Today, the town is going to shut down the factory, my heart is anxious, my mouth is also anxious. Mayor He and I have known each other for many years, he also knows that I just have a stinky mouth..."

  "You have feelings for the dyeing and weaving factory, you were born in Meixi Town, grew up in Meixi Town, do you have any feelings for Meixi Town? Look at what Tongtang River has become! The ditch next to the dyeing and weaving factory is all black water, do you have the face to say you have feelings for Meixi Town?" Shen Huai glared at Pan Shigui.

  "I used to do poorly, but for the sake of over a hundred people's livelihoods, I had no choice. If I didn't do this, the factory would not be profitable. Besides, the town asked me to make changes, and haven't I already made them? Pan Shigui said with a sorrowful face, "I've invested tens of millions in environmental protection, but the money hasn't even broken even yet. The town wants to take back the factory and shut it down, isn't that unjust?"

  "Are you really innocent?" Shen Huan walked back into his office, slapping a stack of photos in front of Pan Shi Gui's eyes.

  "You dug a hole in the factory, stored the wastewater inside during the day and secretly discharged it at night. Is this what you call investing tens of thousands of yuan in environmental protection? Do you think the town officials are blind? I gave you an opportunity, but you delayed for two months. Don't treat me like a peddler selling yellow sprouts... Today, don't blame me..."

  Looking at the top few photos of the weaving and dyeing factory secretly discharging wastewater at night, Pan Shigui touched his hot forehead and didn't dare to make another sound.

  "You took over the dyeing and weaving factory and made a lot of money, the town has been fair to you. Whether you like it or not, the town has already made its decision. Now all the work is focused on disaster relief, shutting down the dyeing and weaving factory is also to use the factory building as a resettlement point." Shen Huai said in a stern tone, not giving Pan Shigui a chance to argue back, "If you cooperate with the town, the town can consider giving you some compensation. Your cousin's brother-in-law has an printing and dyeing factory in Xinjin, I know you have shares there too, raw materials and orders can be transferred over. If you stubbornly resist the town, you'll get what's coming to you!"

  Shen Huai's attitude was tough, and he pushed Pan Shigui to the point where he had no room for bargaining. Then he said to Hou Yiliang: "Hou General Manager, come to my office for a moment!"
