When the video call was connected, Liu Haotian saw Mayor Gao Pengfei, whom he had only seen on TV before.
Gao Pengfei said straight to the point: "Comrade Liu Haotian, let me introduce myself. I am Gao Pengfei, the mayor of Bailu City. Can you please lift up your noble stinky feet now?"
Liu Haotian hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly: "Mayor Gao, I will give you this face today."
Gao Pengfei said expressionlessly: "Okay, thank you. Just wait at the scene. Mayor Duan will rush over to deal with the matter in a while."
Liu Haotian nodded: "Okay, no problem."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Haotian's expression became serious.
Although Gao Pengfei and he only exchanged a few words, Liu Haotian could tell that Gao Pengfei was very dissatisfied with him. Especially the noble words about smelly feet clearly expressed Gao Pengfei's dissatisfaction with him.
.
Liu Haotian was confused. Logically speaking, he had just airborne from the Northern Province. He had no interest relationship with Gao Pengfei and had never offended Gao Pengfei. So in this situation
Next, why does Gao Pengfei use this tone when communicating with him?
And she asked herself to wait at the scene for Duan Zhengtao to come and handle the matter. Will Duan Zhengtao handle it fairly and justly?
It only took 10 minutes for Duan Zhengtao to arrive at the scene.
At this moment, Steve had already stood up, staring at Liu Haotian with eyes full of hatred, but now, his mouth did not dare to continue the American curse. Because just when Liu Haotian let go of his noble
While touching his smelly feet, he used a secret force to directly loosen a few of his molars. As long as he opened his mouth, those teeth would hurt.
Duan Zhengtao came to the scene and saw the blood flowing from the corner of Steve's mouth. He immediately became angry. However, he calmed down his anger. He looked at Steve with an apologetic look and said, "Mr. Steve, I'm very sorry for letting you stay here."
Our Bailu City has encountered such unfair treatment. You can rest assured that our Bailu City will severely punish those responsible and give you a proper explanation.
At present, I have informed us that the best experts and doctors from the city hospital are rushing here. They will do a simple examination for you first, and then take you to the city hospital for a comprehensive physical examination to ensure that you leave us in good health.
Bailu City. I wonder if you have any other requirements?"
Steve pointed at Liu Haotian, then pointed at the ground, gritted his teeth and said: "Let him kneel on the ground and apologize to me."
When Steve said this, he used blunt Mandarin, and everyone present could hear it clearly.
At this time, the translator Lacasse repeated it loudly twice with his sharp voice, and then said with a face full of grief and anger: "Mayor Duan, the investment environment in your Bailu City is really bad.
Come on, look, who are these people? They dare to beat up investors in broad daylight. Is there any law?
Haven’t you always claimed to be a country governed by the rule of law? Why do such people have such weak legal awareness?
Should a person like this be arrested and imprisoned so that he can harm others outside?"
After Duan Zhengtao heard the two people's speech, he frowned slightly and looked at Liu Haotian: "Liu Haotian, did you hear clearly what Mr. Steve and his interpreter said?"
Liu Haotian nodded: "I heard you clearly. What's going on, Vice Mayor Duan, do you still want me to kneel on the ground and apologize to him?"
Duan Zhengtao said with a serious expression: "It is certainly not appropriate to kneel on the ground, but it is still necessary to apologize."
The translator Lacasse immediately said sharply: "You must kneel on the ground and apologize to Mr. Shrive, because Mr. Steve always keeps his word. If this person does not kneel on the ground and apologize to Mr. Shrive, then
We will firmly believe that Bailu City is not sincere in solving the problem, so we will not only report this matter to major international media, but also provide feedback to the relevant foreign affairs departments of your country, and will also ask our foreign affairs department to
The department is putting pressure on your foreign affairs department, because no one in this world can step on the face of us Americans and show off our power!"
Liu Haotian suddenly sneered and said: "Then, Mr. Erguizi, are you an American citizen? Or do you have an American green card?"
The second devil Lacasse opened his mouth, then straightened his back and said: "I am applying for a green card in the United States. If nothing happens, I will get the green card in a few months."
Liu Haotian smiled disdainfully: "No wonder you behave so badly? It turns out you are here for the green card. You are a scum!"
Lacasse glared at Liu Haotian fiercely, looked at Duan Zhengtao and said: "Mayor Duan, look at you people in Bailu City. You are a complete mess. You beat Mr. Steve first, and now you are doing it to me."
Personal attacks are simply the scum of scum.
Our attitude is very clear, this person must kneel on the ground and apologize to Mr. Steve.
As far as I know, this should be the highest level of apology. Only in this way can the sincerity of the person's apology be shown, and the anger in Mr. Steve's heart can be somewhat relieved. And Mr. Steve does not rule out pursuing the case.
Follow-up measures for criminal liability.”
After Steve heard what Lacasse said, he nodded vigorously and confirmed Lacasse's words. Lacasse suddenly seemed to be an inspired animal in the zoo and started to perform vigorously again.
At this moment, the entire scene was silent, and all the onlookers around were silent. Everyone's eyes were on Duan Zhengtao, Liu Haotian and others.
At this moment, Duan Zhengtao also felt the strong pressure from the onlookers. He knew very well that he represented the municipal party committee and municipal government of Bailu City today, and he must give a reasonable and appropriate handling measure.
The current situation is very difficult. If he were to make the decision and propose a solution to Liu Haotian's problem, if it aroused public outrage, he would definitely become the target of public criticism. This solution is absolutely unacceptable.
Duan Zhengtao rolled his eyes, looked at Liu Haotian and said, "Liu Haotian, how do you plan to solve this matter?"
Liu Haotian said calmly: "It's very simple. Let Steve apologize to the girl next to him and bear all the medical expenses of this girl. Only in this way will I forgive him."
Duan Zhengtao was stunned, but at this moment, a burst of thunderous applause erupted from the scene: "Okay, well done!"
"Liu Haotian, well done!"
"This is what Chinese men should do!"
All of a sudden, the crowd was filled with compliments.
Duan Zhengtao began to sweat on his forehead.
The onlookers represent the people's hearts and minds, while the investors represent political achievements and the pressure he will be under.
what to do?
Just when Duan Zhengtao was hesitating, Lacasse stood up again, glared at Liu Haotian and said: "Liu Haotian, who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to ask Mr. Steve to apologize? Do you know this?
Who is the woman? She is an employee of our company. Mr. Steve has taught an employee of his company, do you still need to apologize to him?"
Liu Haotian sneered and said: "If what happened today was in the United States, I wouldn't say a word. However, what happened today happened in our China. This is our land in China. We are a land that pays attention to the law. Regardless of
Is this girl an employee of your company? You are not qualified to treat her by beating her because this is illegal.
Moreover, the cause of today's incident was because Steve harassed the girl. The girl was forced to fight back and was beaten severely by Steve. All the onlookers could see clearly. If anyone wants to confuse right and wrong,
If so, we have to ask the onlookers if they agree!"
Speaking of this, Liu Haotian looked at Duan Zhengtao coldly and said: "Vice Mayor Duan, you are here on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. I believe you can also see what the public sentiment and public opinion of the people at the scene are like.
, I hope you can handle this matter fairly and justly. Otherwise, I will solve this matter in my own way."
Duan Zhengtao looked at Liu Haotian with a gloomy face, and after pondering for a while, he said coldly: "Liu Haotian, I don't care how wronged you are, but I hope you put the overall situation of our Bailu City first.
Hals's biopharmaceutical project is a high-tech industrial project that our Bailu City is actively introducing. It will fill the gap in this field in our Bailu City. And the competition is very fierce now. I hope you will not become the one who ultimately leads us to
The main culprit for failure in investment competition.”
Liu Haotian sighed deeply and said in a deep voice: "Vice Mayor Duan, do you know that no matter how big the project is and no matter how much investment is made, if we lose our dignity and if we people lose confidence, then no matter how big the project is, it will
what's the function?"
Duan Zhengtao shook his head: "Liu Haotian, don't use your theory to misinterpret the city's strategy. Now I'll give you two options. First, apologize to Mr. Steve immediately. Of course, kneeling down is definitely the right choice."
Impossible, this point cannot be passed here. But an apology is necessary. This is to show our Bailu City's broadmindedness, and it is also a time for you to show your overall view.
The second way, if you don't apologize to Mr. Steve, then I will punish you on behalf of the city.
Now, make your own choice."
After Duan Zhengtao finished speaking, the scene became quiet again, and the onlookers were silent. Everyone's eyes fell on Liu Haotian's face.
Liu Haotian smiled: "Since Vice Mayor Duan has given me two options, I will choose the second option because I, Liu Haotian, have done nothing wrong, and it is Steve who should really apologize."
After saying that, Liu Haotian strode out and said as he walked: "Even if the floods are surging behind me, I will not insult the dignity of a Chinese!"
As he walked out, Liu Haotian's lonely back looked so majestic and so thin. Even though he knew that by leaving today, he might even lose his title of county party secretary, he had no regrets.
Because this is his character, Liu Haotian.
This is a man of iron and steel of the Chinese nation.
