Chapter 556: Strict Investigation
Although Xiao Xue has always wanted to forget Lin Chuan, she never could. The image of Lin Chuan has been deeply etched in her heart. Xiao Xue knows well that Lin Chuan belongs to Tang Yumeng, so she doesn't dare to have any inappropriate thoughts about him. How could she possibly make a move on the boyfriend of the City Committee Secretary?
However, Xiao Xue deeply knows that she seems to have gradually started to like Lin Chuan. Especially today when Lin Chuan kissed her earlobe. And then held her tightly. In Lin Chuan's embrace, Xiao Xue could deeply feel how warm, broad, and moving it was. It's just a pity that such a man is already taken, and she is doomed to have no hope.
Despite knowing there's no hope, she still wants to watch him from the corner where the lights dim, silently gazing at him.
Xiao Xue is outstanding, and numerous high-quality men are lining up to pursue her. But she just doesn't find them appealing. Perhaps, truly outstanding men are like the fireflies in the summer night sky. So dazzling, so attractive, so tempting.
Yes, outstanding men always attract the attention of women. Truly outstanding men are not like Bai Yifan, not like Song Hao who have distinguished family backgrounds. But such men often exude excellence, loftiness, and nobility in every aspect.
Xiao Xue stands in the distant corridor, looking at Lin Chuan from a five or six-meter distance. In her eyes is a glimpse of sadness, a faint sadness. Outstanding men are always so outstanding, and the scoundrels will always remain scoundrels. Why can't she encounter a man like Lin Chuan?
Suddenly, Xiao Xue remembered. Back when Lin Chuan and Tang Yumeng were not yet together, why did she not seize the opportunity? Moreover, at that time, she seemed to look down on Lin Chuan, always feeling that he was a very rude man. Little did she know that he was refined in his roughness, and was an incredibly practical, responsible, and dependable man. With such a man, you would never have to worry about being bullied, nor would you ever have to worry about encountering any danger.
"Xiao Xue, what are you doing here?" Suddenly, a man from the secretarial department came out.
"Ah... I..." Xiao Xue was a bit flustered, she quickly smoothed her hair, and then smiled: "I was just thinking about something."
"Is that so? Secretary Tang just called looking for you," the man said with a smile: "Go to her office."
"Alright!" Xiao Xue nodded, and immediately scurried upstairs.
The man watched Xiao Xue's retreating figure with curiosity. He quickly looked from the spot where Xiao Xue had just stood, curious about what she was looking at. The angle from this spot happened to overlook the situation in the break room, where Lin Chuan was standing with his hands on his hips, emanating an air of leadership.
"Could Xiao Xue have been peeking at him?" the man wondered, thinking it over, he felt Xiao Xue should not be peeking at Lin Chuan. After all, Lin Chuan is the boyfriend of Secretary Tang. Xiao Xue, as Secretary Tang's personal secretary, had no reason to spy on Lin Chuan. Perhaps there is only one possibility, that Xiao Xue was acting on Secretary Tang's orders to supervise Lin Chuan. The man couldn't help but feel moved by his own 'high IQ' reasoning.
......
Inside the break room, it was quiet. Lin Chuan stood to one side with his hands on his hips. Luo Guoqing looked like a victorious general as he watched the battered 'pig-headed brothers'. Song Wen and Song Wu were sitting on chairs. After all, they were the nephews of Song Ming, and when striking a dog, one must consider the owner, so Luo Guoqing didn't bother with these Song brothers.
"You guys had better behave yourselves from now on," Luo Guoqing snorted coldly, "Otherwise, don't blame me for not being nice."
"We understand," the burly men, well handled by Song Ming, replied like aggrieved little wives.
"Good if you understand," Luo Guoqing nodded.
At that moment, Lin Chuan's phone rang with the old 64-chord ringtone. The antique Nokia phone; there were plenty of such phones at Lin Chuan's home. Liu Cheng, that kid, had left dozens of phones at Lin Chuan's place. Probably only Lin Chuan was still using such a phone. Even Mrs. Lin had started using a Samsung smartphone, and the sanitation department's staff had begun using WeChat groups to post work content and notices. Thus, the sanitation workers had all switched to smartphones, registered WeChat accounts, and learned to use WeChat.
"Hello, Qiangzi, what's up?" Lin Chuan took a drag from his cigarette, rolling up his sleeves.
"Chuan, not good, you need to hurry to the sand field." Li Qiang shouted urgently.
"What happened?" Lin Chuan asked anxiously.
"Damn, several departments have come to dismantle our site." Li Qiang said hurriedly: "Kai and Brother Pao are both up front confronting them."
"Okay." Lin Chuan nodded, said: "None of you cause trouble, tell Zhou Kai and the others to stay calm, I'll be right there."
"Got it!" Li Qiang nodded urgently.
At this moment, five or six police vehicles and more than twenty policemen were blocking the entrance of the transportation market. A couple of vehicles from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce were stopped at the entrance. Roughly thirty or forty people with large-brimmed hats were standing in the sand field.
Among the policemen, Song Hao was leading. More than ten leaders from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce were also on the scene.
They claimed it was a joint law enforcement action, but in fact, it was just this kid Song Hao taking advantage of his connections to drag these people over. Not only that, but even media reporters were pulled over as well. They planned to carry out an environmental rectification campaign, striking hard, targeting those who illegally mined river sand. The City Committee's Propaganda Department, the City Bureau of Industry and Commerce... Multiple departments were joining forces for the crackdown. And this time, the main target was the sand mining site under Feixiang Company.
"What are you trying to do!" Zhou Kai, along with more than twenty brothers from Unity Hall, was standing at the entrance of the transportation market.
"A joint rectification." At this moment Song Hao walked over and said: "Your sand field is not only illegally mining sand, damaging the environment. But also severely evading taxes, we must be strict with the handling. There can be no concessions on this matter."
"Fuck, why didn't you rectify before? Now that we've taken over, it needs rectification?" Zhou Kai sneered: "This is obviously a targeted action against us."
"Exactly." Song Hao sneered: "Today, we are going to hit you with a heavy hand and be strict with the rectification."
"Let's see who dares to come forward." Zhou Kai stood in the middle of the road, angrily said: "I want to see who dares to mess around."
This time, Song Hao was fully prepared.
"Whoever dares to cause trouble, arrest them!" Song Hao shouted furiously.
Behind, several media cameras and photographers were following; their lenses were always focused on the scene. Since Lin Chuan initially broke through the trouble with Long Wu's death by using public opinion as a guide.
The idea was good, but there were still difficulties in implementation.
"Who dares to move forward!" Zhou Kai glared angrily, as if he had the stance of being the lone defender against a thousand foes.
"Arrest him." Song Hao was full of momentum as he shouted: "He's suspected of obstructing official duties."
