Chapter 32 Seizing Power on the Spot

Several deputy county magistrates looked at each other and smiled in their hearts. It was a very embarrassing thing for a county magistrate to be beaten on his territory. If he called him someone else, he would definitely find a way to cover him secretly. Even if he was dressed in the city and rainy outside, he would never mention it in front of him. How could he put this matter openly at the county magistrate's office meeting like Zhao Changfeng? Isn't this slandering himself in his face? Could it be that mainland cadres have such a habit?

Zhao Changfeng opened his handbag, took out a few things from it, and said, "I have a few photos here. To be honest, if I didn't know in advance that this photo was taken Yinyue Bay, the most beautiful place in Yuehai County, I really thought it was a landfill somewhere!"

After a pause, Zhao Changfeng said again: "I still have several letters of reporting from migrant workers, reporting on the issue of several shoe factories in Housha Town's arrears of wages and work-related injury compensation."

Mo Rigen lowered his head and took the meeting minutes, feeling very strange. If the photos were taken by the female reporter, then where did these letters of complaint come from?

"I don't talk about the great principles of protecting the legitimate rights and interests of labor, protecting the legitimate interests of vulnerable groups, promoting the steady growth of regional economy, and maintaining long-term social stability. You can sit here today, and everyone understands these simple principles." Zhao Changfeng looked at the venue and raised his voice and said: "I just want everyone to see these photos today and read these letters containing the blood and tears of migrant workers' brothers."

Speaking of this, Zhao Changfeng looked at Mo Rigen who was sitting at the end of the conference table: "Director Rigen, come here and send these things to the county magistrates to pass on them."

Mo Rigen walked over quickly, took photos and letters of reporting from Zhao Changfeng, and sent them to several county magistrates one by one. These county magistrates had no intention of seeing these things, but Zhao Changfeng was the top leader of the government. After sending a message to see them, they had to look at them, so they gritted their teeth and quickly passed them to the next county magistrate. Several photos and letters were passed on from several county magistrates, and finally concentrated in Mo Rigen, who looked at Zhao Changfeng with these things.

Zhao Changfeng signaled Mo Rigen to put it in first, but said, "Comrades have read these things. You can talk about your own opinions on the two issues I just raised. Who will come first?"

Deputy County Mayor Yang Jiaqiang was in charge of the Labor Bureau, and this labor supervision was naturally related to him. He coughed, looked up at Zhao Changfeng, and was about to speak. Zhao Changfeng suddenly spoke, "Comrade Jin Kun, you are the executive deputy County Mayor, come first!"

Yang Jiaqiang's words were choked back, and he sat there with awkward expression, with a flushed face. He was both embarrassed and angry. As mentioned earlier, there was a strange rule in Yuehai County, that is, leading cadres never speak in the order of ranking, and whoever wants to speak will speak. This rule not only appears at the Standing Committee meeting. The county government also appears when the county magistrate's office meeting. The reason is that local cadres in Yuehai County are arrogant and never take cadres from other places seriously, so they do not pay attention to any ranking rules in the venue. Yang Jiaqiang is a financial-based cadre. He is used to being arrogant at the county magistrate's office meeting. Moreover, the topic of this meeting involves his scope of responsibility, so it is normal for him to speak first, but he did not expect to be blocked by Zhao Changfeng.

Although Zhao Changfeng didn't know who Yang Jiaqiang was, he knew Yang Jiaqiang's ranking among the deputy county magistrates. Dong Jinkun, the executive deputy county magistrate who ranked first, and Wu Guoyong, the second place, had not spoken yet. Yang Jiaqiang, the third place, wanted to rush to speak. To put it lightly, he did not understand the rules of the officialdom. To put it seriously, he despised the authority of the county magistrate who presided over the meeting. This was the first county magistrate's office meeting held by Zhao Changfeng. The rules must be set well. If the rules were indiscriminate in the first meeting, what else should I do in the future? So Zhao Changfeng knocked Yang Jiaqiang quietly and reminded him to understand the rules.

Everyone was not foolish when they could climb to the position of deputy county magistrate. They naturally understood the meaning of Zhao Changfeng doing this. Xiao Zhao's county magistrate was so strong at the first meeting. It seems that the visitors were indeed not kind!

Dong Jinkun is also a cadre from other places. He often faces joint suppression by several deputy county magistrates from Yuehai County, so he is used to keeping a low profile at the meeting. Unexpectedly, Zhao Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief for him at the beginning of the meeting today. He couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

"After looking at the photos just now, I felt like what County Mayor Changfeng said. It was shocking! How could the good Yinyue Bay become like that?" Dong Jinkun sorted out his thoughts and said, "Among our cadres in Yuehai County, there is such a thinking that divides economic development and environmental protection into two opposites. I think this view is wrong. Economic development and environmental protection complement each other and promote each other, not mutually opposite aspects. That kind of sacrifice is the same.

The practice of the environment in exchange for economic growth is short-term behavior. Under the guidance of this wrong idea, the environmental protection work in Yuehai County has weak law enforcement and less punishment or even no punishment for illegal acts that pollute the environment. In the end, the environment in many places in Yuehai County continued to deteriorate, and Housha Town is one of them. County Mayor Changfeng began to focus on environmental problems at the beginning of his tenure. I think this is grasping the key points of Yuehai County's development. Only by solving environmental problems can we solve the problem of sustainable economic development in Yuehai County."

"As for the problem of migrant workers, if the problems reflected in these letters are true, the problem will be very serious." Dong Jinkun glanced at Yang Jiaqiang, whose face turned red, and said: "This at least shows that there is a serious absent phenomenon in the process of labor protection and labor law enforcement. The truth of the facts needs to be carefully verified!"

Yang Jiaqiang did not expect that Dong Jinkun, who was so smart and safe, would have become a different person today, and would be celebrating the labor supervision department of his subordinates. He suppressed his anger and waited for Dong Jinkun to finish his words, and immediately retorted: "County Magistrate Dong, are you saying this too one-sided? Do you know how many shoemaking factories in the letter bring to our county every year? Do you know what the pillar industry of our Yuehai County is? If the Labor Bureau strictly enforces the law, will it have an impact on the economic development and fiscal revenue of our county?"

Zhao Changfeng did not expect Yang Jiaqiang to be so arrogant. He jumped out to destroy the discipline when he had emphasized the discipline of speaking at the meeting. Zhao Changfeng did not expect that Yang Jiaqiang would be so stupid that he would actually oppose the strict law enforcement of the Labor Bureau with economic development and fiscal revenue. Cadres with such low policy levels did not know how to become deputy county magistrates. Since Zhao Changfeng had made up his mind to act in a high-profile manner in Yuehai County, he naturally would not let people like Yang Jiaqiang jump around. After Yang Jiaqiang finished speaking, Zhao Changfeng smiled and said, "County Mayor Yang Jiaqiang, right? He is in charge of the Labor Bureau?"

Yang Jiaqiang glanced at Zhao Changfeng and said, "Yes, the Labor Bureau is my jurisdiction."

Zhao Changfeng smiled at the corner of his mouth and said lightly: "Comrade Yang Jiaqiang, from your speech just now, you can see that you have a very shallow understanding of national labor policies and regulations and are not suitable to continue to be in charge of labor law enforcement departments. I will now announce the adjustment of your division of labor. From now on, the Labor Bureau will not be under your jurisdiction!"

"What?" Yang Jiaqiang jumped up immediately, "Zhao Changfeng, why do you do this? Did you get the approval of the county party committee?"

Zhao Changfeng looked at Yang Jiaqiang coldly and said, "Adjusting the department under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate is an internal matter of the county government. The county magistrate's office meeting can make a decision, and it does not require the approval of the county party committee."

After pausing, he said again: "As for why I do this, Comrade Yang Jiaqiang, I can tell you. Just based on the words you just said."

Zhao Changfeng looked at Mo Rigen who was taking the meeting minutes at the end of the conference table and said, "Director Rigen, you can read his words to County Mayor Yang Jiaqiang. Especially the sentence 'If the Labor Bureau strictly enforces the law, will it have any impact on our economic development and fiscal revenue in Yuehai County?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Changfeng turned his attention to Yang Jiaqiang again, "Comrade Yang Jiaqiang, after hearing your words, I realized that our Yuehai County's previous economic development and fiscal revenue were based on the lack of strict law enforcement by the Labor Bureau. I don't know what would happen if the leaders of Haizhou City or relevant leaders of the Provincial Labor Department saw this?"

Yang Jiaqiang's face changed. He usually relied on being a member of Qian Yunfeng's team and was used to being arrogant and did not speak through his brain. Unexpectedly, Zhao Changfeng suddenly caught the handle this time. Moreover, the speeches of the county magistrate's office meeting were recorded. If the Haizhou City leaders saw these words, would they say that he had smeared the economic development of Yuehai County? Could it be that Yuehai County, among the top 100 county economies in the country, were developed by the Labor Bureau's unscrupulous law enforcement?

Zhao Changfeng ignored Yang Jiaqiang at all. He turned his eyes to Dong Jinkun and said, "County Magistrate Jinkun, you are temporarily in charge of the Labor Bureau. Are there any difficulties?"

"No!" Dong Jinkun replied loudly, feeling extremely happy! With such a strong county magistrate, both the two teams of Qian Yunfeng and Duan Zhikui were fighting for each other.

Several other deputy county magistrates looked at each other and saw shock from each other's eyes. They really didn't expect that County Magistrate Xiao Zhao was so strong that he did not play according to the rules of the cards. Qian Yunfeng's direct descendant Yang Jiaqiang even had no chance to resist, and a powerful department in his hand was deprived of Zhao Changfeng!
