This statement was already brimming with sarcasm.
Such a statement had already crossed the line.
Yet, Jin Shuangxi had something even more excessive to say.
He turned to Hu Guanxiong and said, "Old Hu, open the drainage pipe right away, and make sure not to let some short-sighted people interfere with production."
Getting the hint, Hu Guanxiong glanced at Chen Fang and asked, "Director Jin, what if someone says it's polluting the environment?"
With a sneer, Jin Shuangxi said, "Then it depends on whether he has the ability to stop me..."
Everyone present heard these words.
Some even covered their mouths, giggling.
Facing such a scene, Guo Linkun forced a smile and said, "Deputy Chen, don't take it to heart, Jin Shuangxi is a straightforward person, who speaks his mind. Please don't be offended by him."
This statement virtually handed a powerful weapon to Jin Shuangxi.
He immediately responded, "Correct, Deputy Chen, that is just the kind of person I am. Please don't mind, and even if you do, it doesn't matter, after all, I do it for the good of Guyang City."
The insinuations kept coming, one after another.
"Do you think I can't handle you?"
Chen Fang asked with a grim expression.
Jin Shuangxi shrugged, with a helpless look.
He said, "You are the high-ranking Deputy Mayor, but you heard it yourself, it was Mayor Dou who asked us to produce. You are just an assistant; Mayor Dou is the top authority in the city government. Whose orders do you think we should follow?"
Then looked at Guo Linkun, who was smug.
As if telling Chen Fang, this matter was settled today, and he was curious about how he would deal with it.
Chen Fang took out his phone.
He dialed a number directly.
He asked, "Where are you?"
From the phone, a clear voice replied, "We've arrived."
Meanwhile,
a convoy appeared in the distance.
There were exactly five cars.
The convoy raced toward the lakeside at top speed.
When all five cars had come to a stop,
the doors opened.
Zhang Cheng got out of the first car.
From the other vehicles, several people also emerged and marched over with a menacing air.
Upon seeing Zhang Cheng,
Jin Shuangxi was taken aback.
Then he assumed a sycophantic air, hurried forward with quick, small steps, bowed, and fawningly asked, "Chairman, what brings you here?"
Zhang Cheng ignored him.
He walked straight into the crowd.
He paused briefly, nodding at a middle-aged woman behind him.
Understanding, the woman pulled out a document from her bag and read, "After review by the board of directors of Boiling Point Group, Jin Shuangxi, the Factory Manager of Yongxing Electroplating Factory, and Hu Guanxiong, Maintenance Director, are hereby relieved of their positions, effective immediately."
Boom!
It was a bolt from the blue.
Jin Shuangxi had thought the chairman had come to support him.
After all, as the chairman of Boiling Point Group, he would definitely want to protect the interests of the group.
Chen Fang's obstruction of Yongxing Factory's production would inevitably impact the group significantly, so how did he dismiss him as soon as he arrived?
Swallowing his saliva,
he asked, "Chairman... are you... are you mistaken?"
Zhang Cheng sternly said, "No mistake, from now on, both you and Hu Guanxiong are dismissed. Next, the group's legal team will contact you. Furthermore, I order that from now on, Yongxing Electroplating Factory must cease all operations and production until Deputy Chen agrees to restart operations."
He wasn't talking about waiting for the inspection by the relevant department.
He was talking about waiting for Chen Fang's approval.
This statement was essentially an endorsement of Chen Fang.
Seeing this, Guo Linkun
felt a chill in his heart.
He stepped forward and said, "Chairman Zhang, the production at Yongxing Factory was approved by the city government. Are you going against the city government?"
"Mayor Guo, I'm sorry, but as the chairman of Boiling Point Group, I decide when to produce and when to stop production. It's not your place to be here ordering people around."
"You—"
Was rebutted by Zhang Cheng in this manner.
For a moment, Guo Linkun didn't know how to respond.
Seeing that Chen Fang was gaining the upper hand,
Guo Linkun felt extremely uncomfortable.
He glared fiercely at Chen Fang and Zhang Cheng and angrily said, "Fine, fine, fine, Deputy Mayor Chen, well done. I would like to see how you are going to explain this to Mayor Dou in the end."
After dropping this remark, he made a move to leave.
Jin Shuangxi noticed that Guo Linkun was about to leave.
He was extremely anxious.
Once Guo Linkun left, it meant he had no one to rely on.
He immediately grabbed his sleeve, with a crying tone, and said, "Mayor Guo, you can't leave. You have to give me an explanation. You can't just let the group fire me. I have been producing because I followed your orders."
He thought that Guo Linkun would either speak up for him or find a way out for him.
Unexpectedly, Guo Linkun glanced at him and said, "Let go."
"Mayor Guo, you can't burn bridges after crossing them."
"Let go!"
Seeing that Guo Linkun was getting angry,
Jin Shuangxi had no choice but to let go of the sleeve.
Guo Linkun angrily said, "Useless, you can't even handle a small thing, what's the point of keeping you?"
That was the last thing he said to Jin Shuangxi.
Then, he furiously drove away.
When Guo Linkun left,
the Director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, Liu Hao, also left.
The noisy scene quieted down.
Jin Shuangxi had not easily climbed to the position of factory manager.
He certainly didn't want to give up just like that.
Glancing at Zhang Cheng, then at Chen Fang, he quickly realized that Chen Fang was his last hope. Suddenly, he came in front of him, knelt down with a thud, and pleaded, "Deputy Mayor Chen, I was wrong, I realize my mistake. Just now I should have obeyed your orders. Please don't fire me. I will order the factory to stop production right now. Deputy Mayor Chen, please give me another chance."
Chen Fang's gaze fell on a plastic bottle not far away.
He picked up the bottle.
Squatted down.
He filled the bottle with water from the discharge outlet of Tianjing Lake.
Placed it in front of Jin Shuangxi.
Said, "With such a dirty mouth, drink this water, and I will ask Chairman Zhang to not fire you."
"No, no, this water can't be drunk, it could kill someone,"
Jin Shuangxi repeatedly waved his hands and said.
Chen Fang directly kicked Jin Shuangxi, who staggered and fell back onto the ground.
"Do you realize drinking this water could kill someone? What sort of place is Tianjing Lake? It is a tourist spot, a reservoir; this water is meant for the people downstream to drink. So only your life is valuable, and theirs are worthless, right?"
Such words left Jin Shuangxi speechless.
Chen Fang turned to Yu Beihai and said, "Yu Teacher, from now on, I leave this man to you. If you don't handle this case well, then you might as well not continue being an instructor."
