Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

"Here I would like to commend the management and security department. The management and security department never slackened and conscientiously implemented the requirements of the group company and did a good job in security, which prevented the bad guys from succeeding in their sabotage."

Comrades, we must always believe in justice and fairness. Some people want to seize the coal mine through evil means, harming the collective's interests. Will you allow that?

Fang Wei stood on the platform, waving his arms, gradually shifting everyone's emotions to hatred towards certain individuals.

Everyone felt that if those people's schemes succeeded, they would definitely not have a good life. If the other party could use such despicable means for their own selfish interests, it would be strange if they didn't exploit the workers ruthlessly once they took over the coal mine.

"No way! Absolutely not!"

The cheers at the scene were loud and everyone was very excited.

Fang Wei raised his hands and made a downward pressing motion, and everyone gradually quieted down.

Then he pointed to the mine and said, “This is a mine that we have rebuilt with our hard work and sweat, a place where everyone depends on for survival. I assure you here that no one will be allowed to steal the fruits of our labor.”

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience. The previous hesitation and confusion had vanished, and everyone was filled with fighting spirit.

Fang Ping then adjourned the meeting, and everyone went to their respective positions to begin their day's work.

Before Fang Wei could even leave the coal mine, Team Leader Wu arrived with his men.

"We have received a report that you are engaged in illegal production. Please cooperate with our inspection."

When Team Leader Wu arrived today, he immediately sensed that something was amiss.

He was unaware of the sabotage, but someone had ordered him to come today, regardless of the true situation at the coal mine, to teach the mine a lesson.

Whether it was psychological or not, Team Leader Wu felt uneasy, but he still launched a surprise inspection.

This time, he wasn't just nitpicking; he was fabricating something out of nothing, calling a deer a horse, and issuing a notice to suspend production and rectify the situation on the spot before noon.

“Team Leader Wu, you can do it this way, but you will be fully responsible for your actions today.”

Fang Ping's lips trembled with anger, but Fang Wei stopped him and then spoke directly to Team Leader Wu.

"You dare threaten me? Secretary Fang, you may have absolute power in Xinlin County, but I'm not afraid of you."

Team Leader Wu's heart skipped a beat. He was actually quite intimidated by Fang Wei, but the other party had taken the initiative to stand up for him today.

However, he still didn't want to be overwhelmed by the other party's imposing manner, so he forced himself to show his "toughness".

“Threatening you? You’re overthinking it. I will report your actions to the provincial authorities. In addition, I will use various channels to report your illegal activities.”

Fang Wei smiled faintly, then made a gesture, signaling Team Leader Wu and the others to leave immediately.

Since the inspection team has crossed the line, he completely rejects this so-called notification and intends to fight them to the bitter end.

The workers who hadn't gone down the mine gathered around in twos and threes, their eyes filled with hatred. They had worked hard to earn a stable, well-paying job, and now someone wanted to destroy it all; how could they possibly be friendly?

Team Leader Wu and the others realized something was wrong, and they turned pale with fright. They quickly got into their car and left in a panic.

"Old Pang, there's no time left, let's pack up the net."

"I understand. Be careful."

Back in his office, Fang Wei called Pang Wanxin. Regardless of whether the conditions were right or not, the decisive moment had arrived.

He then took out the evidence materials that Fang Ping had given him regarding the investigation team's illegal activities, made some minor modifications, and sent them to the provincial capital and Beijing via express mail.

Wang Lin's side also sprang into action, and the county bureau's interrogation yielded results.

The person who caused the damage took 50,000 yuan from someone in the county and planned to sabotage the equipment without anyone noticing, hoping to cause a significant impact.

He patted his chest when he took the money, promising to keep his mouth shut no matter what. But he only lasted less than 12 hours at the county police station before confessing everything.

Based on the clues, the county bureau arrested a large number of people involved.

Finally, a key figure was brought to light. The county bureau didn't dare to arrest him directly, so they reported it to Wang Lin's side.

"Arrest them! Arrest everyone, no matter who's involved. I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

With Wang Lin's willingness to take responsibility, his subordinates had a pillar of support, and the arrest operation was successfully completed.

provincial capital.

Pang Wanxin led his men to find Ma Guoxing, who was leisurely drinking tea.

"Old Pang, what do you want by bringing so many people here in such a menacing manner? If you want to arrest me, you're overthinking it, because you don't have the qualifications or the authority to do so."

This is where Ma Guoxing's confidence comes from. He knows that things at the coal mine have gone wrong, but there are some things he didn't participate in, and he didn't even give any instructions.

Often, he only needs a glance or a hint, and someone will take care of things for him.

As for Team Leader Wu's actions, he could completely deny any connection. There was no direct exchange of benefits between the two, and the benefits Team Leader Wu received had long since taken many roundabout routes.

"No, no, no, you're overthinking it. I'm just asking for your cooperation in the investigation; there are some things you need to clarify." Pang Wanxin wouldn't invite trouble; he had extensive experience in struggle and wouldn't make a mistake on such a trivial matter.

All he needs to do now is keep Ma Guoxing occupied. He believes the orders and personnel from above will arrive soon, and he won't give the other side any chance.

"Are you determined to fight me to the death?"

The relaxed expression on Ma Guoxing's face disappeared. The other party stared fiercely at Lao Pang and spat out a few words through gritted teeth.

"Die or be damned? The fish may die, but the net won't break! To be honest, I've already handed over the evidence of your illegal activities to my superiors. Someone will take over the case soon, and you won't be able to escape."

Pang Wanxin shook his head indifferently; the other party was making a death throes effort, which was completely meaningless.

Now, Ma Guoxing has no chance of turning things around.

"How dare you! I'm going to see your superior."

Ma Guoxing roared and then grabbed the phone.

If you look closely, you'll see that the other person's hands are trembling slightly, which is not as confident as he appears.

As a result, there was no sound from the receiver, and Ma Guoxing's heart sank lower and lower.

He felt that the Xinlin Coal Mine incident couldn't possibly involve him, but Pang Wanxin was so confident, and it didn't seem like he was faking it, so he finally felt scared.

In reality, Pang Wanxin possessed most of the other evidence, which had nothing to do with Xinlin Coal Mine.

The story is long, but to put it simply, Pang Wanxin persuaded one of Ma Guoxing's trusted confidants to defect, willing to atone for his crimes through meritorious service. This took him a great deal of effort and was only recently successful.

So he handed over all the evidence he had, as well as the evidence Fang Wei had sent him, to his superiors. His superiors ordered him to keep a close eye on Ma Guoxing and not give him any opportunity to make any underhanded moves.

This must be very difficult, but Pang Wanxin doesn't care; he's a master at skirting the rules.

Ma Guoxing roared in the room, smashing everything on the table to pieces.

Just then, the door opened and three people walked in.

"Ma Guoxing, come with us. You need to explain your issues at the designated location. Here are the procedures; have you seen them clearly?"

The people sent by his superiors finally arrived, and the moment they took out their identification and documents, Ma Guoxing immediately deflated.

The rest is none of Pang Wanxin's business. Once the case is closed, he will definitely be among those who receive a commendation and reward.

The fate of Team Leader Wu and certain individuals in Xinlin County is predictable; none of them will escape punishment.

Wang Lin was deeply moved, but there were still many aspects that he didn't understand, so he called Fang Wei to his office.

"You can still ask Lao Pang about this when you have the chance. I don't have the ability to bring down Ma Guoxing. In short, Ma Guoxing has done too many bad things. He'll either fall from grace in this matter or in that matter."

Fang Wei smiled and picked up the teacup without saying anything more.

There's a saying that goes, "If you walk the dark road too often, you'll eventually encounter a ghost." Ma Guoxing's reckless and unruly behavior has already offended countless people.

All he and Lao Pang had to do was get leverage over the other party, then hand it over, and someone would naturally use that leverage to put Ma Guoxing to death.

The implications were too broad, and Fang Wei dared not speak carelessly.

"Then I understand. You and Lao Pang are really ruthless; you've probably already turned the people around the other side. I won't ask about the specifics; I'll just ask questions. Aren't you worried about the potential consequences?"

Wang Lin seemed to be deep in thought, and at the same time, he made a suggestion to the other party.

"What am I afraid of? I'm just an ordinary citizen, and the company is collectively owned. Who can do anything to me? Don't forget, I'm a breeding expert, and I have access to the best rice varieties in the country."

Fang Wei burst out laughing and offered an explanation.

Wang Lin thought about it and realized that it was indeed true. People often say, "He who has no desires is invincible." For someone who doesn't care about personal gain, it's really hard to find fault with them.

However, this matter is also beneficial to him, since he has removed those obstacles in the county without lifting a finger, and his future work will be much smoother.

As for Lao Pang, needless to say, he will be promoted soon.

The matter was finally settled, becoming a topic of conversation among everyone. However, what circulated outside were mostly rumors, and almost no one knew the truth.

Yaoling Agriculture started selling seeds at this time, and a large number of rice seeds were shipped to the port and then transported abroad.

The remaining rice seeds were snapped up, resulting in a tight supply of rice seeds for this season. Next spring, we can go all out for production again without needing to adjust our production plan.

Seeds for other crops also sell very well. Given the egregious behavior of the three major seed companies, the company's sales channels have been diversified, and several large seed sales companies have been established.

For example, Lao Pang's nephew is one of the best among them.

The first phase of the county transportation company's land development project was successfully completed before National Day. As the year drew to a close, most of the relocated residents had moved into their new homes, and the county's first large supermarket opened ahead of schedule. (End of Chapter)
