Official excuse: I've put you on patrol in Handong, and the whole province is in a panic.

Qi Tongwei, who was standing to the side, slowed down his movements as he was fastening his cufflinks when he heard the word "special case".

Qi Tongwei knew who provided the police car.

That's Cheng Du, the director of the Guangming District Public Security Bureau.

This person is Zhao Ruilong's man.

Now that I'm in trouble, I should try to help myself if necessary.

After all, if the investigation by the Guangming District Public Security Bureau really goes further, no one can say for sure whether it will implicate the Shanshui Group.

Qi Tongwei coughed and said, "Secretary Dakang, handling the situation on-site is the top priority tonight. We can put the accountability on hold later. First, we need to calm the workers down and prevent this from escalating."

Li Dakang glanced at him and said, "Director Qi, is it a small matter to impersonate a policeman to forcibly demolish a factory?"

Qi Tongwei was speechless and could only say, "What I mean is, the scene is dangerous, so safety should be the priority."

Su Zhe looked at Qi Tongwei and said, "Director Qi is right, safety comes first. So who suggested demolishing the dangerous building just now?"

Li Dakang's face immediately turned ugly.

Zhao Donglai stood between the two, pretending to listen to the walkie-talkie, but his feet quietly moved to the side.

Xu Ming looked at Qi Tongwei and asked, "Director Qi, the Provincial Public Security Department is a professional agency. There are torches, gasoline, and workers resisting at the scene. In your professional judgment, should the demolition machinery continue to proceed?"

Qi Tongwei's back began to sweat. He didn't answer immediately, but instead turned his gaze toward the oil depot.

Wang Wenge was still holding a torch, and the workers surrounded him. In the distance, you could hear people shouting, "Don't be afraid, we can't let them demolish the factory!"

Qi Tongwei said, "Team Leader Xu, from a professional perspective, the machinery should indeed be evacuated first."

Su Zhe pressed further, "Then why didn't you insist on your professional judgment just now?"

Qi Tongwei's lips twitched slightly as he said, "After I arrived at the scene, my main task was to cooperate with the local authorities in carrying out their work. The provincial department did not overstep its authority in giving orders."

Li Dakang couldn't help but say, "Qi Tongwei, you just said that the provincial department was willing to cooperate in maintaining order."

Qi Tongwei sighed inwardly.

You're a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, so I can't possibly take the blame for you now...

At most, you'll be unhappy, or even vote against me in the Standing Committee meeting.

Team Leader Su could fire me with just a few words!

Qi Tongwei immediately replied, "Secretary Dakang, I meant maintaining order, not pushing for forced demolitions... This matter of demolition... we still need to investigate who authorized it."

Li Dakang's face completely fell.

Chen Yanshi stood to the side, watching the group of leaders shirking their responsibilities, and his anger flared up again.

He frowned and said, "Now you're scared? When the workers were pushed to the limit, who among you cared about them?"

Xu Ming glanced at Chen Yanshi and said, "Comrade Chen, please don't get agitated. The inspection team will see tonight's events clearly and record them truthfully."

Chen Yanshi looked at Xu Ming and said, "Team Leader Xu, I only have one thing to say: the employee shares of Dafeng Factory cannot be swallowed up like this, and the workers cannot be forced to a dead end."

Xu Ming nodded and said, "You can express your demands, but you must put down the torches. Safety comes first."

Chen Yanshi turned to the oil depot and shouted, "Wenge, did you hear that? The inspection team is here. Put down the fire and tell the organization what you have to say."

Wang Wenge shouted from afar, "Old Chen, where is the organization? Excavators and police have just come in. They want to demolish our factory and take our land!"

Su Zhe took the megaphone from Zhao Donglai and walked to the control line.

Li Dakang frowned and said, "Team Leader Su, please don't get too close. It's dangerous on site."

Su Zhe didn't turn around, but said, "Secretary Li, danger and conflict are often caused by ourselves."

Li Dakang was speechless, choked up.

Su Zhe raised the megaphone and said into the factory area, "Wang Wenge, this is Su Zhe from the Central Inspection Team."

Wang Wenge waved his torch and shouted, "I know you, leader of the inspection team. Can you really manage this? If you can, why are the excavators still driving in?"

Su Zhe said, "Put down the torch first, the machines are being evacuated!"

Wang Wenge shouted, "Then make them all leave, make the people from Shanshui Group get out, and make these fake policemen get out."

Su Zhe had not yet answered.

suddenly.

Wang Wenge looked at the excavator in the distance and shouted, "That machine is still moving! It's moving again!"

All eyes turned to them.

Next to the main plant, an excavator driver was about to turn off the machine, but Chang Chenghu had been arrested and there was no one to direct the operation. In his panic, he tried to back the machine out, but the tracks carried broken bricks backward. The boom swept against a low wall next to him, and bricks fell down with a crash. The sound reached the oil depot and immediately caused an uproar among the workers.

Wang Wenge's eyes reddened, and he raised his torch, roaring, "You bunch of bastards! You say you're leaving, but you're still dismantling! If Dafeng Factory is gone, we won't live either!"

Zheng Xipo lunged forward and grabbed his arm, shouting, "Wenge, don't be foolish! Don't start a fire!"

Wang Wenge shook off Zheng Xipo and pressed the torch down onto the wet ground beneath his feet.

"If you want to demolish the factory, we'll all die together!"

moment!

Everyone was stunned!

Li Dakang was about to walk forward when he stepped on a broken brick, causing him to sway. His secretary, Xiao Jin, quickly steadied him.

Zhao Donglai's expression changed, and he roared into the walkie-talkie, "Everyone retreat! Firefighters, prepare foam coverage! No one is allowed to fire! Do not provoke the workers!"

Qi Tongwei stood there, with only one thought in his mind.

It’s over.

Gao Yuliang was watching a live stream on his phone at home. His hand, which was holding a teacup, touched the lid, and the lid slid onto the table, but he didn't bother to pick it up.

He watched the fireball fall on the screen, his face tightening. He muttered, "Nonsense, utter nonsense! Li Dakang, Qi Tongwei! Are you really going to embarrass yourselves over something so trivial?!"

......

Meanwhile, inside the Yantai Hotel, Sha Ruijin had already stood up.

Secretary Xiaobai stared at the screen, her face drained of color.

Sha Ruijin, gripping his phone, angrily exclaimed, "Nonsense! What exactly is the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee doing? They haven't even controlled the machinery under these circumstances; they're forcing the masses onto a dead end!"

Xiao Bai asked in a low voice, "Secretary Sha, should we immediately order an evacuation?"

Sha Ruijin stared at the screen and said, "It's too late to say anything now. First, check if there's any explosion at the scene. Notify the Provincial Emergency Management Department and the Provincial Health Commission to prepare rescue forces immediately!"

......

Yanjing.

Old Sun sat in his study, holding a brand-new iPhone in his hand.

He had his secretary get it from China Unicom.

I heard that this stuff is in short supply, and you have to queue up to buy it outside.

Some news reports even claim that some young people have gone astray because of this, with some even selling a kidney to buy it...

Out of curiosity, Mr. Sun also got one to study.

Of course, the entire phone has been handled by security personnel to ensure that no secrets are leaked, and Mr. Sun will destroy it after reviewing it.

Huang Jiang stood to the side, looking at Old Sun with a calm expression.

Mr. Sun, who was still examining the phone's casing, remarked with admiration, "Such a small phone has become a globally popular product. It was made in a factory in China, right?"

Huang Jiang nodded and smiled, "Yes, Mr. Sun, this is manufactured by a domestic company."

Mr. Sun asked, "I've read the relevant research. To manufacture this phone, we need to provide raw materials, labor, and consume water, electricity, and factory space! In the end, we can only get 2% of the profit, while Apple can get 58% of the profit?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Jiang said seriously, "Yes... our domestic processing industry is at the very bottom of the smile curve..."

Upon hearing this, Old Sun sighed softly.

"This small example reveals a larger truth: China's path to industrial upgrading is still very long..."

Mr. Sun randomly opened a few apps, which were different from those on domestic mobile phones.

The iPhone's stability, smoothness, and even screen clarity at this point are truly overwhelming...

Old Sun couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Amazing, truly amazing! I wonder when we'll be able to create a mobile phone with the intellectual property rights of the Great Xia people!"

As they were talking.

suddenly.

Mr. Sun opened a live streaming app.

I couldn't help but be a little surprised.

at this time.

on the screen.

The scene was shocking: workers from the Dafeng factory resisting a forced demolition...
