Chapter 1930: Chapter 1930

Song Guanchao asked calmly, "What’s going on?"

Vice District Chief Wang replied, "The residents of Wenxin Garden District are planning to come to the industrial park to display banners."

Song Guanchao hadn’t heard of this neighborhood before, but since they planned to display banners in the industrial park, they must be from a nearby area.

"What are they displaying banners for?"

Vice District Chief Wang appeared slightly embarrassed, "The government previously collaborated with developers to promote the construction of supporting facilities nearby, which have not been delivered..."

Song Guanchao understood, but sensed something was amiss.

"Have they displayed banners before?"

With his reminder, Vice District Chief Wang also sensed something was wrong, "They complained before, but never displayed banners."

He speculated, "Maybe they heard the government is restarting the industrial park and decided to make a fuss?"

Song Guanchao chuckled; after years of silence, they’re suddenly displaying banners—it’s clear someone is instigating them.

Additionally, they specifically chose to do this during the foreign enterprise’s inspection.

This was a premeditated move, clearly aiming to ruin the inspection by the foreign enterprise.

"You handle this yourself. I don’t care what method you use, just don’t let this situation affect the inspection." Song Guanchao said sternly.

The current leadership naturally has the responsibility to resolve past issues left by previous leaders.

But that’s based on the premise that the district government cannot resolve them.

Don’t start cleaning up without even making an attempt.

If even such a small issue cannot be resolved, you’ll be dismissed, and find someone capable to take over.

Vice District Chief Wang noticed he was getting upset and quickly assured, "Director Song, rest assured, I’ll handle it properly."

"Okay." Song Guanchao continued accompanying Mr. He and the others for the inspection.

...

Cars drove up outside the gates of the industrial park, parking in a line and blocking the entrance.

The arriving group were residents of Wenxin Garden District; they pulled banners from their trunks, spread them out, and waited outside the gate.

After a while, local street office personnel arrived and earnestly tried to persuade them, but to no avail.

Later, district government officials arrived to persuade as well.

But no matter how hard they tried, the group of residents refused to leave.

Inside the industrial park, Vice District Chief Wang followed the inspection team, continuously making calls.

Upon learning that residents were blocking the gate, his cold sweat started to drip immediately.

Once the inspection ends, if foreign executives witnessed this scene, the investment... is likely to fail.

If it fails... Vice District Chief Wang knows he cannot bear this responsibility.

Vice District Chief Wang’s forehead was covered with a layer of fine sweat, feeling a surge of pressure.

What to do, what to do?

Call the police and have them removed?

No, doing so will only escalate the situation.

Besides, most people who bought properties here years ago did so as an investment, meaning these residents are not ordinary citizens.

Many are middle class, well-versed in the law, familiar with societal rules.

Attempting to violently suppress them with police intervention will only worsen the impact, making it impossible to resolve.

He glanced at Song Guanchao ahead, hesitated repeatedly, but ultimately decided to seek his help.

The most distinguishable trait between ordinary leaders and those like Song Guanchao, who rose through ability, is handling sudden incidents.

"Director Song." Vice District Chief Wang approached, quietly called out.

Upon seeing his expression, Song Guanchao knew the matter was likely unresolved.

He gestured to Zhou Xingjian to take his place, then slowly stepped back, falling a few meters behind.

Vice District Chief Wang didn’t dare to hide anything, explained the situation to him, observing his expression, and only when noticing no anger, did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Call Mr. Du and have him invite the residents to the district government. Remember, don’t be rough, be courteous. Once the inspection is over, I’ll go give them a response."

"Mr. Du... I’m afraid he won’t show up." Vice District Chief Wang said bitterly.

With Mr. Du’s character, he certainly wouldn’t handle such matters.

"This is Wensong District; if something happens here, and he doesn’t show up, who will? Just call him and inform him of the situation. If he doesn’t appear, let me know."

"Alright, sure."

Vice District Chief Wang dared not say anything more, pulled out his phone, and called Du Qin.

...

Du Qin answered the call, indifferent, "Mayor Wu appointed you in charge of the industrial park, so handle it yourself. I haven’t been involved from the start, suddenly contacting me, how would I know how to resolve it?"

"Mr. Du... beep beep."

"Damn it!"

Vice District Chief Wang wanted to curse; he thought no matter how reluctant Du Qin was, he would at least make an appearance.

In the end, he straightforwardly rejected.

As if completely unconcerned about the disturbance these residents might cause in his jurisdiction.

He had to find Song Guanchao again and inform him of Du Qin’s stance.

Song Guanchao wasn’t surprised at all, only responded with an "oh": "Then you go, lead them to the district government."

"I..." Vice District Chief Wang was devoid of confidence, fearing he might mess up.

"Just go ahead and try, don’t fear making mistakes. No leader dares to claim they can solve every problem. If you can’t resolve it, then come to me." Song Guanchao patted his shoulder in a superior-to-subordinate gesture of encouragement.

Their age difference was over a decade; at another time, Song Guanchao using this tone might have displeased him.

But now, he felt deeply encouraged.

"I’ll definitely succeed!" Vice District Chief Wang nodded vigorously, adopting a do-or-die mindset, heading towards the parking lot.

...

"What’s going on here?"

Outside the industrial park gate, a sedan parked by the roadside.

The window rolled down, revealing Jiang Heng’s face inside.

He gazed at the line of cars outside the gate and the throng of people, somewhat dazed.

He noticed people were displaying banners, but due to the angle, couldn’t see what the banners said.

"Go find out." He instructed the driver.

The driver responded with a nod, got out, and walked over.

A few minutes later, the driver jogged back and reported, "Mr. Jiang, these people are residents from a nearby neighborhood. The government and developers had promised supporting facilities long ago, which haven’t been delivered, so they came to display banners seeking answers."

Jiang Heng was still puzzled, "Why are they displaying banners here instead of at the district government?"

The driver responded, "Leaders from the city government are accompanying foreign executives for an inspection at the industrial park today; they’re blocking the entrance here."

Jiang Heng’s eyes lit up; he knew Song Guanchao was responsible for attracting investments to the industrial park.

Which meant that the city government leader inside was likely Song Guanchao.

And he keenly identified a problem.

The industrial park had been completed for several years, yet these residents chose this moment to display banners blocking the entrance.

And coincidentally caught the foreign enterprise inspection.

Jiang Heng didn’t believe this was a coincidence.

He had reason to believe someone was deliberately behind this.

"Looks like someone wants to deal with Mayor Wu!"

Jiang Heng’s eyes shifted, quickly analyzing.

He wasn’t particularly concerned about who was against Mayor Wu.

He just felt an opportunity had arisen.

Jiang Heng scanned his surroundings, noticing street office and district government staff, revealing a cunning smile.

In such situations, how could the police’s involvement be missing?

He got out of the car, walked alone to a distant spot, took out his phone, and dialed the emergency number.
