Names: Uncle Zhao Mengsheng, Father-in-law Pei Yihong

Throughout the entire factory, the workers trusted Chen Yanshi the most, and they also trusted Zheng Xipo's words the most.

Yu Ruixing immediately looked up, his eyes brightening, and his confidence instantly surged. "Chairman Zheng is absolutely right!"

We don't need to panic at all; the advantages are entirely on our side! Old Chen is Secretary Gao Yuliang's former superior.

Ji Changming, the chief prosecutor of the provincial procuratorate, was Chen Lao's subordinate back then.

In addition, Chen Lao's eldest son, Chen Shan, is the director of the Provincial Public Security Department, and his second son is the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Provincial Procuratorate.

We have powerful backers, so what are we afraid of?

"Don't even mention a mere district head like Ding Yizhen from Guangming District; even if he personally came to my door to put pressure on me, I'd dare to slam my fist on the table and confront him!"

Zhang Tiezui chimed in, his tone firm and assertive, "That's right!"

Rising Antivirus is right: those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose!

We workers have nothing left but the Dafeng Factory.

Anyone who tries to take away our livelihood, we'll fight them to the death!

Deputy Factory Director Ma nodded in agreement: "Yes, with Elder Chen backing us up, connections in official circles, and legal grounds, Ding Yizhen and the Shanshui Group's idea of ​​controlling everything is pure fantasy!"

The more the group spoke, the more confident they became, finally releasing all the pent-up frustration they had been suppressing.

The previously somber atmosphere instantly transformed into one of high morale.

At this time.

Hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

A worker, drenched in sweat, stumbled into the meeting room, shouting, "Chairman Zheng! Factory Director Ma! Team Leader Wang! Something terrible has happened!"

Deputy Factory Director Ma jumped to his feet. "What's the panic! The sky's not falling, talk slowly!"

The worker, panting heavily, exclaimed, "Ding Yizhen! That bastard has personally brought his men here! They're right at the factory gate!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the meeting room erupted in chaos.

Deputy Factory Director Ma swung his arm sharply, "Let's go! Take some men!"

Today, we'll fight that bastard Ding Yizhen to the bitter end!

"Let's get him!" Wang Wenge chimed in.

Everyone stood up in unison and stormed out angrily.

At the entrance of Dafeng Factory.

Ding Yizhen, with his round belly, dressed in a formal suit, had a fat head and big ears, and his face was shiny with oil, giving him the air of a corrupt and incompetent official.

Standing in front of the factory gate, he glanced at the old factory buildings with an arrogant look in his eyes, carrying a hint of contempt.

Only two people followed behind him: Chen Qingquan and Xiao Gangyu.

The workers swarmed out and gathered densely in the factory courtyard, their faces filled with anger, staring menacingly at the three people at the gate.

Ding Yizhen paid no attention to the hostility of the crowd, raised his hand and took out an official document with a red header, held it in one hand and waved it lightly in the air.

"Attention all workers at Dafeng Factory. This is a demolition decision document issued by the Jingzhou Municipal Government."

According to the city's overall plan, the Dafeng Factory site has been included in the key construction area of ​​Guangmingfeng, and demolition is required within a specified period. The final work should begin immediately.

I'm here today not to discuss anything with you, but to give you a formal notification.

This was also Ding Yizhen's first time here; previously, he had been directing operations remotely.

These words completely ignited the workers' long-suppressed anger.

Zheng Xipo took a step forward, his face ashen.

Ding Yizhen!

You bastard.

Why should our more than 1,000 workers at Dafeng Factory have their livelihoods destroyed just like that?

You're a damn corrupt official-businessman!

Zhang Tiezui felt relieved and immediately shouted angrily: "Ding Yizhen, I wish your whole family would die! It was you, Ding Yizhen, who colluded with the Shanshui Group!"

They conspired to swindle us workers' equity, draining us of a lifetime's blood and sweat!

Yu Ruixing chimed in, "A plot of land worth ten billion! You guys manipulated things behind the scenes and handed it over to the Shanshui Group!"

Do you have any conscience?

Oh, no, you have no conscience, your conscience has been eaten by dogs.

Despite the overwhelming barrage of angry words, Ding Yizhen remained unfazed.

Actually, I was incredibly panicked inside.

However, Li Dakang, Qi Tongwei, and a large group of people were not far away, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.

"Gentlemen, we must speak reasonably."

The judgment is entirely in accordance with legal principles.

When Dafeng Factory's cash flow dried up, it voluntarily pledged all of its shares as collateral.

If the loan cannot be repaid by the due date, the equity will belong to Shanshui Group. This is entirely legal and compliant, and there is no underhanded dealing involved.

"Legal principles? What the hell!" Wang Wenge was instantly enraged. He rushed forward two steps, his eyes bloodshot. "Your legal principles are just taking advantage of us ordinary people who don't know the rules! It's just officials and businessmen colluding to plunder the people's wealth! Ding Yizhen, if your mother were a worker at Dafeng Factory, you wouldn't say such things."

At the critical moment, he firmly remembered Chen Yanshi's advice: hitting someone is illegal, and the workers would only suffer if they resorted to brute force.

But the anger in his heart was hard to quell, and he had to vent his anger.

Taking advantage of Ding Yizhen's distraction while he was talking, Wang Wenge raised his wrist and quickly scratched Ding Yizhen's greasy cheek with his fingertips.

Five faint red marks instantly appeared on Ding Yizhen's face.

Caught off guard, Ding Yizhen winced in pain and instinctively took a half-step back, both shocked and furious.

Chen Qingquan immediately stepped forward and showed his work ID.

"Everyone, calm down and don't act impulsively."

I am Chen Qingquan, Vice President of the Jingzhou Intermediate People's Court.

First of all, it should be noted that the judgment has taken effect and has full legal force.

But beyond the law, there is humanity. The municipal party committee and government attach great importance to everyone's demands and are not trying to force everyone to their deaths.

Any demands or conditions can be discussed at the table.

There's no need to resort to violence and escalate the conflict.

Chen Qingquan was insightful and extremely shrewd.

He knew that if things really escalated, no one could bear the responsibility for a mass incident, so it was better to feign concessions and appease the workers first.

But the workers were already completely disillusioned and wouldn't buy into it.

Wang Wenge stood his ground, refusing to budge an inch.

"Talk? There's nothing to talk about! If you want the factory demolished, bring ten billion in compensation! Otherwise, nobody will touch a single brick or tile of Dafeng Factory!"

Ding Yizhen covered her face, both angry and annoyed. "Wang Wenge, you're asking for an exorbitant price! This is utterly unreasonable!"

"You're the ones making trouble!" Deputy Factory Director Ma retorted in a deep voice. "Ding Yizhen, you abuse your power to oppress the people, drain the workers' hard-earned money, and now you're accusing us of causing trouble? Your skin as an official is thicker than a city wall!"

Ding Yizhen was publicly insulted, losing face and feeling utterly humiliated.

And I don't know what to do.

The next second, Wang Wenge bent down and grabbed a shovel standing in the corner, slamming it heavily onto the ground.

The shovel struck, raising a cloud of dust.

"Ding Yizhen, you bastard! You want to forcibly demolish our factory? Anyone who dares to take a step forward today, I'll fight them to the death!"

Seeing the shovel and the furious, impulsive worker, Ding Yizhen felt a pang of panic.

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle; if he really provokes a mass incident, he'll be the first to take the blame.

Ding Yizhen dared not linger and turned to run away.

And under the shade of trees not far outside the factory area.

Li Dakang and Qi Tongwei stood quietly, taking in the entire scene.

Li Dakang shook his head slightly. He realized today that the problems at Dafeng Factory were far more complicated than he had imagined.

The workers were extremely resentful, but their bottom line was firm, and they showed no intention of backing down.

"Governor Qi, I never expected that the demolition issue of Dafeng Factory would be deadlocked to this extent."

"If the people's grievances aren't resolved, this demolition and relocation work will be truly difficult."

Qi Tongwei paused for two seconds before slowly speaking, "Secretary Dakang, verbal negotiations are useless; the workers' resentment runs too deep."

Since neither gentle persuasion nor force is working, why not just let the demolition team in and see what happens?

Qi Tongwei wanted to test whether Chen Yanshi would come.
