Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

"Governor Song is different from them. Stop crying and speak properly." Zheng Xipo nudged Deputy Factory Director Ma's arm. "Old Ma, you have the most say in this."

Deputy Factory Director Ma sighed, "Governor Song, I have a lot to say."

I don't know what to say right now.

If Dafeng Factory is gone, where will our thousands of workers go to eat?

The whole family is counting on this salary.

"I'm old and it doesn't matter, but what about everyone else?"

He portrayed himself as virtuous and righteous.

The implication is that, Governor Song, you see, I'm not seeking justice for myself, but rather defending the rights of the workers at Dafeng Factory.

The five people were talking amongst themselves.

They thoroughly criticized Cai Chenggong and Gao Xiaoqin.

Song Yunhui listened as he walked.

He nodded from time to time.

He turned to look at Li Dakang and asked, "Comrade Dakang, how much does your Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and Government know about this matter?"

Li Dakang's face flushed slightly. "Governor Song, this matter is a historical issue stemming from the equity of Dafeng Factory."

Cai Chenggong is a complete liar, and our city has been searching for him.

We cannot get in touch with Tsai Cheng-cheng.

As for the ownership of the shares, the Jingzhou Intermediate People's Court has already ruled that the shares of Dafeng Factory belong to Shanshui Group.

I feel that all my mistakes are Cai Chenggong's fault.

Li Dakang was eager to shirk responsibility, and it was perfectly reasonable for him to shift the blame to the owner who had mortgaged the shares.

As for other details, Li Dakang really didn't know much.

Some of these details were also discovered by Secretary Kim on short notice and communicated to Lee Da-kang via text message.

As the vice governor, since he was there, Zhao Qilun had to make a statement: "We understand the workers' feelings."

The provincial government will also urge Jingzhou City to handle the matter properly, and absolutely ensure that the workers do not go hungry.

Song Yunhui stopped and looked at a pile of rusty steel pipes by the roadside.

He shook his head.

This alone demonstrates that there are problems with the management of Dafeng Factory.

"It's not enough to just listen to what you say; we have to look at the actual situation."

"Chengdu, Xiao Zhou, and Sun Liancheng, the three of you go to the factory and talk to some workers to ask about the situation."

"Yes, sir." The three men knew that Song Yunhui wanted them to take this opportunity to investigate the situation inside.

Outside the gate of Dafeng Factory.

Two black Audis slowly came to a stop.

Ren Zhimin, Wu Xiongfei, and Chen Yanshi got out of the car.

Ren Zhimin and Wu Xiongfei's original plan was to go directly to Shanshui Group.

The car happened to pass by the nursing home where Chen Yanshi lived.

Wu Xiong glanced out the window and saw an old man standing by the roadside waiting for a car.

It was Chen Yanshi.

Wu Xiongfei asked the driver to stop the car, and when Chen Yanshi said he was going to Dafeng Factory, he gave Chen Yanshi a ride.

During their conversation on the way, Song Yunhui, Li Dakang, and others mentioned that they had all gone to Dafeng Factory and also to some Shanshui Group.

We must go to Dafeng Factory instead.

Chen Yanshi strode forward, walking with a brisk pace.

Wu Xiongfei and Ren Zhimin followed closely behind.

Inside the Dafeng factory.

Zheng Xipo was arguing with Li Dakang about the issue of compensation and resettlement.

"Secretary Li, that resettlement fee is not enough for us at all, and Shanshui Group didn't give us any either, so why should we be demolished?"

Li Dakang was about to lose his temper.

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, "West Slope, I'm here!"

His voice was aged, yet full of energy.

Zheng Xipo was startled, and swallowed his words back down.

Looking back, Chen Yanshi was striding towards them.

Zheng Xipo's eyes immediately reddened.

He left Li Dakang behind and ran straight towards Chen Yanshi.

From a distance, they called out, "Old Chen, you've finally arrived! We workers now have someone to rely on!"

"Xipo, be down-to-earth and don't be afraid of anything. If anything happens, I, Chen Yanshi, am here for you." Chen Yanshi strode up to the crowd.

Wu Xiongfei and Ren Zhimin, who were behind them, were a step behind and fell behind.

Before Chen Yanshi could catch his breath, he headed straight for Song Yunhui.

When you encounter a problem, it's always right to seek the highest authority.

"Governor Song, this is Chief Prosecutor Chen Yanshi, who is dedicated to serving the people." Zheng Xipo, standing beside him, straightened his back and spoke in a louder voice, "Old Chen, you've come at just the right time. The provincial leaders are all here today, you have to stand up for us."

The surrounding workers also joined in the commotion.

The buzzing of voices created a chaotic mess.

Song Yunhui stopped and looked Chen Yanshi up and down.

"Comrade Chen Yanshi, you can solve the problem for the workers."

This question embarrassed Chen Yanshi.

Chen Yanshi waved his hand, "Governor Song, I'm here today for no other reason than..."

The Dafeng factory must not be demolished.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xipo led the applause.

clap clap clap!

Wang Wenge, Deputy Factory Director Ma, and others cheered.

Li Dakang stood to the side, wringing his hands and frowning deeply.

Why does Chen Yanshi always have to cause trouble at such crucial moments?

With the provincial governor right in front of them, isn't this a blatant attempt to embarrass the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and Government?

Song Yunhui remained calm and composed. "Comrade Chen Yanshi, may I ask you a question?"

What exactly is your relationship with this Dafeng Factory?

The question was asked casually, yet it hit the nail on the head.

Those who are not in a position should not concern themselves with its affairs.

What right does a retired cadre have to manage the demolition of enterprises?

Chen Yanshi raised his chin and said, "Governor Song, if we're talking about the accounts, I have absolutely no connection with Dafeng Factory."

I don't receive a salary from Dafeng Factory, nor do I own a single share of its stock.

But back then, I was the cadre in charge of the restructuring of Dafeng Factory. I was the one who stood on that platform, holding a megaphone, urging the workers to put up their hard-earned money to buy shares.

The workers trusted me, Chen Yanshi, and the government, and they emptied their pockets of their entire families.

Now, things have gotten even worse; the company is about to be forcibly demolished.

The workers' shares were lost without any explanation.

Anyone would swallow this insult.

I stand here today with no other identity than as a former Party member, here to seek justice for the workers of Dafeng Factory and to reclaim their shares.

His words were powerful and impassioned.

Zheng Xipo's eyes were red, and he kept wiping them with his sleeve. "Old Chen is absolutely right."

Wang Wenge shouted at the top of his lungs, "Old Chen is right, Shanshui Group should return our shares."

Song Yunhui raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to be quiet. "Comrade Chen Yanshi, when it comes to seeking justice, we must be mindful of the methods we use."

The core issue facing Dafeng Factory is the ownership of its shares.

Since there is a dispute regarding the equity issue, we will have to wait for the court's ruling.

In a society governed by the rule of law, we must act in accordance with the law.

With just a few casual words, Song Yunhui steered the issue to the legal level.

Upon hearing the word "court," Chen Yanshi's anger flared up. "Governor Song, the verdict? What verdict?"

The case was decided, but not a single person from the court came to the scene to see it.

The Dafeng Factory has thousands of workers, most of whom have elderly parents and young children to support. It involves thousands of people, and just based on a single judgment, they want to drive them all out into the streets.

This is a serious matter.

That's not how things are done.

Anyway, I, Chen Yanshi, have a lot of opinions about this.

Li Dakang couldn't listen to this any longer. "Old Chen, I, Li Dakang, can say with absolute certainty that in our Jingzhou, there has never been a case of people being driven onto the streets due to demolition disputes."

"Li Dakang, you dare to say that? Who would believe you!" Chen Yanshi found Li Dakang utterly unpleasant to look at.

Gao Yuliang respected himself greatly, while Li Dakang was a sly fellow who never visited him in the nursing home after retirement.
