120: Chapter 119: Coming to the Door 120: Chapter 119: Coming to the Door “If we wait until sothing really happens, not even gods will be able to save us!” Liu Hun said to the two, knowing full well what his superpower could and couldn’t handle.
If the land got polluted, what could they possibly use to salvage it?
“Last ti you dealt with Wu Jin.
I heard that you also made Xie Heguo eat humble pie over removing the ‘poverty hat.’ He might not only ignore your advice, but he might also co after you,” Cai Yan said worriedly to Liu Hun.
As a biologist, she clearly understood the dangers of chemical pollutants, but she was even more familiar with the nature of these bureaucrats.
Liu Hun stood still, suddenly silent, his facial expression turning fiercely grim.
After a long while, he ground out the words, “If the village’s ss isn’t cleaned up, I’ll replace the mayor!”
As Liu Hun made his way to the township governnt, he pondered how he had dealt with Wu Jin and had the ‘poverty hat’ of Wanbao Village removed, essentially tearing a piece of flesh from Xie Heguo’s mouth.
Believing that Xie Heguo would listen to him seed as plausible as a turtle floating.
Thus, he either had to make Xie Heguo realize the harmful ss created by the leading village and ask for reform, or use this situation to turn Taiping Town upside down, overthrow Xie Heguo, and give Taiping Town a fresh start!
For a re peasant to think about toppling a mayor might seem utterly foolish to anyone; insane even.
But there’s an old saying: knowing the mountain has tigers and still heading towards Tiger Mountain — that’s the spirit needed!
After Liu Hun had figured everything out in his mind, he entered the township governnt office and t Peiling, the director of the rural departnt.
Peiling was not in formal attire today; instead, she wore a refreshing short skirt, seemingly in good spirits recently, even sporting a bright makeup look, intently studying so docunts.
Occasionally, she would run her fingers through her hair at her temples, and her eyes would coyly flicker, her charming mole adding to her allure.
Peiling had beco even more enchanting — officials had their unique charm indeed.
Admiring her, Liu Hun knocked on the door and called out, “Director Peiling.”
When Peiling looked up and saw it was Liu Hun, she instantly smiled and said, “Liu Hun, co in and take a seat.
What brings you here today?” She still rembered the fuss Liu Hun had caused last ti; it was truly relieving, yet it had offended people including Lin Fugui.
Liu Hun wasted no ti in politeness and sat down across from Peiling, telling her everything he knew about the situation in the leading village, including his suspicions.
Listening, Peiling’s brow furrowed like a lump of dough, as she hastily searched for recent docunts about the leading village before handing them over to Liu Hun saying, “This should be it!”
Liu Hun promptly looked at the docunt, “Mingri Chemical Co., Ltd.?”
“Yes!
It’s noted here as a producer of chemical agents.
And…” Peiling said with so difficulty, “this investnt project was specially approved by Mayor Xie.”
“Do you an, this whole thing was known by Xie Heguo, so there’s basically no hope of getting it revoked?” Liu Hun asked Peiling.
He had no idea that this damned chemical company was actually Xie Heguo’s initiative.
It was like catching a thief right in their den, leaving them no escape.
Unexpectedly, Peiling shook her head and said, “I heard that this investnt project was brokered by Director Bai from the Cooperative, and then reported to Mayor Xie by Lin Fugui.”
Liu Hun felt Bai Hongcai and Lin Fugui were just like sewer lids; the ntion of their nas brought up nothing but stench.
Hearing Peiling’s words, Liu Hun seed to catch a hint of sothing and hurriedly said, “Director Peiling, you an to say that Xie Heguo actually doesn’t know about the dangers of this chemical company?
If we clarify these dangers to him, do you think he might agree to cancel it?” Saying this, Liu Hun himself felt skeptical, but it was a question that still needed asking.
Sure enough, Peiling shook her head again, then got up, closed the office door, ca back, and whispered to Liu Hun, “Whether Xie Heguo knows about the dangers doesn’t really matter.
What’s important are the benefits he sees!
I heard the project’s profits could match the financial aid provided to several villages.
Therefore, unless there’s a major accident involving loss of lives, this project will definitely not be stopped.”
Liu Hun might not fully understand Xie Heguo’s nature, but Peiling had it clear in her mind as if it were reflected in a mirror!
To Xie Heguo, this project was like an old bachelor with a young bride—once he’s on, he’s not coming down!
“Liu Hun, let put it this way.
Financial prospects and future prospects are both vital for Xie Heguo.
If you want to persuade him to cancel this project, you must lay out the risks clearly before him so he realizes that his financial prospects could ruin his future prospects.
You also have to make him believe it’s true; only then might you have a chance of persuading him!” Ren Peiling said to Liu Hun, giving him a heartfelt truth that set everything straight.
Liu Hun understood completely; that Xie Heguo, beholden to RMB, wouldn’t stop unless RMB turned into Joss Paper.
Thinking to himself, Liu Hun figured from what Ren Peiling said, persuading Xie Heguo now was as tough as climbing Mount Hua; although challenging, at least there was a way.
He then spoke to Ren Peiling, “Director Ren, it’s definitely impossible for Xie Heguo to go to the village ahead of us on his own.
I’m just a farr, as clear as soup; I can’t even get through the village gates.
So, I hope you can join on a trip to that village.”
To Ren Peiling, who had seen most farrs with their humble plots and cattle, the wives and children warm on the kang, Liu Hun, who continuously stirred up troubles and turned Wanbao Village upside down, was sowhat admirable.
Even a sensual misunderstanding caused by an accident before was now giving her a strange feeling.
She believed the man before her could take on significant responsibilities!
However, for Ren Peiling, who had maneuvered through the murky waters of Taiping Town for years without a stain, being cautious was her principle.
So, she asked Liu Hun, “Didn’t you just say it would take at least a month before anything happens to the village ahead?
If we go there now, not only will we not find any evidence to convince Xie Heguo, but he might even think we are causing trouble.”
“Young and strong people might still be able to withstand it, but the old and children in the village ahead might already be showing symptoms.
Even if the people are alright, the livestock and plants will surely be affected,” Liu Hun said confidently to Ren Peiling, his words were not just empty boast; after all, the hot springs in Wanbao Village just over the mountain had caused problems for several healthy won.
Ren Peiling stared at Liu Hun for a long while before bursting out, “Alright!
Let’s go to that village now!”
The mont Liu Hun and Ren Peiling arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a shiny new car parked at the village entrance, gleaming like a tortoise shell.
“A rcedes, what kind of person would co to this village?” Ren Peiling muttered in confusion, noting such a car was rare even in the county seat, let alone in the impoverished leader of the village ahead.
As they were about to head into the village, they heard a shout from behind, “Stop!”
Liu Hun turned around and saw it was Geng Erzhu, whom he had stepped on the face a few days earlier.
Rested and now wearing clean clothes, Geng stood there officially, starting to shout orders again.
“Geng Erzhu, what’s up?
You got sothing?” Liu Hun stopped and asked Geng Erzhu, not really concerned about Geng but noticing another unfamiliar man dressed in a black suit and a skinny man in a shirt standing behind him.
“Geng…
Liu Hun.” Geng Erzhu took a sudden breath as though his blood drained for a mont at the sight of Liu Hun, steadied himself, and with two protectors behind him, he felt bold.
Pointing at Liu Hun, he shouted, “I told you, you are not allowed in our village!
Did you not hear ?”
Liu Hun didn’t want to waste ti on Geng Erzhu, this reptile, so he pointed to Ren Peiling next to him and said, “This is Director Ren from the Township Governnt’s rural office.
So shut your dog mouth, and cut the crap.”
After he spoke, Liu Hun was about to proceed into the village with Ren Peiling when Geng Erzhu really went too far and blocked their way with his companions.
“Humph!” Geng Erzhu snorted coldly, spat a thick gob of phlegm onto the ground, and then scuffed it with his shoe, saying, “Today even the Jade Emperor couldn’t enter our village, let alone a woman!
Rural office?
Bullshit!
More like an office bed!
Which official isn’t sticking their nose in?”
Ren Peiling, unprepared for this village ruffian to spew filth at her, was itching to retort when she saw Liu Hun suddenly move.
Seeing Liu Hun coming straight at him, Geng Erzhu quickly backed away, tripped over a rock, and landed on his behind, about to yell for his mother to save him when the man in the suit stood out, raised his hand to stop Liu Hun, and said, “You want to fight?
I’ll cripple you!”
“Hey!
Heh, heh, heh…
Co on!
Co on!
Blockhead!
You want to stomp on grandpa’s face, huh?
Co on, try stepping on one!
So village bumpkin really thinks he’s sothing, huh?
Ever seen a city bodyguard?
I could cripple you just for fun!
Stupid dog!” Geng Erzhu, seeing his backup stand forth, could barely contain his glee, feeling even more thrilled than if he had slept with the village widow Li!
“Cripple ?” Liu Hun glared at the square-faced man with a cold look in his eyes, extended his right hand, and said, “Let’s give it a try!
Watch closely!” And imdiately, Qi surged to his right hand.
