Everyone looked back and saw a few people walking in from outside the hall. The leader, whom many people knew, was none other than Yiping Mayor Wang Hongliang. The person who just spoke was a cadre who was following Wang Hongliang. Some people could recognize him.
, this person is the director of the municipal government office, named Zhang Yanqiu.
The crowd automatically parted a path, allowing Wang Hongliang and Zhang Yanqiu to walk in front of Gusev. Wang Hongliang nodded to Gusev, and then said: "Mr. Gusev, Mr. Akin, are you preparing to leave Yijin?"
Ping?"
Xu Yang took on the task of translating and translated Wang Hongliang's words to Gusev and his party. After hearing this, Gusev nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. Mayor, we have other arrangements, so we have to leave Yiping temporarily. However,
, we will come back after a while.”
Wang Hongliang smiled and asked: "I heard that Mr. Qin Hai, the chairman of Daqin Group, sent an invitation to you two to attend a seminar held at Yiping Central Square. You two are so enthusiastic about Yiping's rx project.
, why not go and participate?”
Gusev still used the same rhetoric as before. He replied: "Because we think such activities are meaningless. What we want to say has already been said, and there is no need to communicate face-to-face with enterprises."
Wang Hongliang said: "My personal suggestion is that you'd better accept the invitation of Daqin Group. This will be beneficial to you and the citizens of Yiping."
Gusev shrugged his shoulders, made a disdainful gesture, and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Mayor, we really don't have time."
Wang Hongliang smiled again and said: "If that's the case, then I'm afraid I can only say sorry to you two. Daqin Group has reported to the Yiping Security Department, saying that you are suspected of maliciously spreading false statements and interfering with the normal production of the company.
Activities. The Yiping Security Bureau has issued a notice restricting your departure. If you want to leave Yiping, you must either go to the central square to confront Daqin Group and clarify the facts in front of all Yiping citizens, or you can only go to
The security department has gone to explain your words and deeds."
"Security!"
Everyone around was shocked. Damn it. Daqin Group is really here to play. It is not an ordinary case for the security department to intervene. If the accusations made by Daqin Group are true, that is to say
What Gusev and the others published is indeed false, so this matter will rise to the level of commercial espionage. On the other hand, if Daqin Group dares to do this, it is obviously confident. After all, the security department is not able to open a case casually.
of.
Of course they didn't know that the person who came to Yiping with Qin Hai this time was Xiao Weihao, an official from the national security department. Xiao Weihao was already a bureau-level cadre, the same level as the mayor of Yiping. He ordered the Yiping security department to do something
Things are not a piece of cake. To be honest, Gusev and Akin have dirty butts. Even if they are as pure as white lotuses, Xiao Weihao will always find trouble for them.
Gusev's expression suddenly changed. He did not expect that the other party would react so violently. This was clearly a fight-to-die attitude. In fact, it is common for members of the Blue Sky Organization to deal with powerful agencies of various countries.
Scheff himself was once detained by the French police, but that was because he took the lead in attacking a local chemical plant, which almost led to a vicious incident. This time, he did not do anything extraordinary. He just spread some rumors.
How could the rumors get to this level?
"Mr. Mayor, I protest!" Gusev's first reaction was to use the magic weapon of protest. According to his impression, Chinese officials are particularly afraid of foreign protests. By the way, his great-grandfather came here when he was young.
When he arrived in China, he was a member of the Eight-Power Allied Forces. Much of Gusev's understanding of China came from his family education.
"What are you protesting for?" Wang Hongliang asked calmly.
"You persecute public welfare people!" Gusev casually gave Wang Hongliang a big hat.
Wang Hongliang smiled: "Mr. Gusev, whether you are public welfare persons or not, it doesn't matter what you say, nor does it matter what I say. You have to use facts to speak for yourself. If what you said a few days ago are facts, then.
No one will do anything to you. But if what you say is not true, then I can’t help but ask. What is the purpose of you traveling thousands of miles to China to spread these rumors?"
A few days ago, Wang Hongliang would not have had the confidence to speak like this to Gusev and the others. In the past two days, he had in-depth exchanges with Qin Hai and listened to Xiao Weihao talk about espionage struggles on the economic front. For
Now he has a full understanding of the nature of the matter. He originally did not understand why Gusev blocked the Yiping rx project, but now he knows that there are some Western chemical companies such as Germany's Warren Group and Japan's Nitsuka Chemical behind it.
Corporate black hands.
In order to avoid listening to biased beliefs, Wang Hongliang also privately asked several experts from the Science and Technology Bureau to inquire. From these experts, he learned the true situation about rx, and also heard how Xu Yang ignored the opinions of other personnel in the Science and Technology Bureau.
Opposed and blindly supported Gu Xiefu and others. Combined with what he heard from Qin Hai about Xu Yang's past misdeeds, he knew that both the municipal party committee and the municipal government had been deceived by Xu Yang. This mistake was very embarrassing.
After understanding these things, Wang Hongliang actively promoted the confrontation between Qin Hai and Gusev. He personally rushed to the Marriott Hotel with Zhang Yanqiu to prevent Gusev and the others from escaping. Also coming with him was Yiping
Several field officers from the security department carry summonses against Gusev and Ekin in their pockets, and they can take coercive measures when necessary.
Blue Sky Organization is suspected of commercial espionage!
Gusev and Ekin have been restricted from leaving the country!
Such breaking news spread throughout Yiping City almost instantly. Those who had previously been firmly opposed to the rx project couldn't help but begin to waver.
"Maybe, this Gusev is really spreading rumors!"
"Isn't it possible? Is the rx project really not dangerous? I don't believe it anyway."
"Even if Gusev has ulterior motives, I still oppose the rx project. Foreign countries have placed such projects 100 kilometers outside the city. How far away can we be?"
"Yeah, I feel uneasy just thinking about it. Maybe the Daqin Group is persecuting Gusev and the others..."
All kinds of opinions became noisy again, but this time, the people of Yiping City were divided into two groups. One group firmly stood on the side of Gusev and the others and held anti-rx views. The other group claimed to be the awakening group and began to check various
They collected information and tried to put aside their prejudices and explore the truth about rx. People from the two groups started a debate on the local BBS in Yiping. The latter group mocked the former group for being ignorant, brainwashed by foreigners, and being an IQ-deficient party;
One faction accused the latter faction of taking Qin Hai's money to post. Some people also provided conclusive evidence that these people could earn 50 cents for each post, so they named it the Fifty Cent Party.
"Who is right and who is wrong? Just wait until the weekend to listen to the debate in the central square!" a representative of the Fifty Cent Party said at the forum.
"Who knows if the Daqin Group spent money to bribe the city, and if Gusev and the others are not allowed to speak, why are they still arguing?" the party in arrears retorted.
"Who doesn't want them to speak? I'm afraid it's because they don't dare to speak when the time comes," the Fifty Cent Party said confidently.
"Bah, Gusev doesn't dare to speak, because he's afraid that you won't admit your defeat!" said the party in arrears.
"Dare you bet?"
"Just bet, tell me your name and address!"
"What's up, do you want to make a date?"
"I just made an appointment, I'm still afraid of you!"
"..."
Conversations like this will inevitably become heated in the end. However, the result of this kind of quarrel is that more and more people are full of expectations for the debate in the central square at the weekend. What is right and what is wrong will be revealed by then.
See the difference.
A few days passed in this controversy. Gusev and Akin were finally not allowed to leave and could only stay and wait for the debate. At this point, they had no choice. Xiao Weihao said, either in the central square
, or in the interrogation room, they have to talk on some occasion. In comparison, the central square seems to be a better place.
The weekend is here, and the scheduled lecture time is at 9 a.m., but anxious citizens have arrived at the square before 8 a.m. and gather in front of the podium, waiting for the show to begin.
A huge curtain was hung on the rostrum, and several staff were adjusting the projector. For this presentation, Daqin Group also spent a lot of money and specially transferred a high-definition and high-brightness projector worth more than 300,000 yuan from the headquarters.
The projector allows people in the square to see the projected content clearly even in the daytime.
Gusev and Aijin were "invited" to the rostrum and sat on one side. Opposite them were the seats of the Daqin Group. In addition to Qin Hai, there were also people who had come from Jintang to sit there.
Chemical experts Yu Lihong and Xia Yangjie, and another guest who surprised everyone, turned out to be the great singer Qin Ling.
"What the hell, isn't that person Qin Ling?"
Fans have long noticed Qin Ling's appearance. Although Qin Ling is now in her early 30s, her popularity is much stronger than that of a girl in her 20s. She feels like a "big sister" in the music industry. She sat on the stage
, immediately attracted countless attention.
"Didn't you talk about confronting rx? Why is Qin Ling here too?" someone said in surprise.
"Look, look, Qin Ling has an ambiguous relationship with the chairman of Daqin Group!" Someone exclaimed as if they had discovered a new world.
"Tsk!" an insider laughed disdainfully, "You don't know that Qin Ling and Qin Hai are brothers and sisters. I came here today to support Qin Hai. This is to play the emotional card."
In the midst of the chaos, Wang Hongliang walked to the center of the rostrum. He held a microphone in his hand and said loudly to the audience: "Dear citizens and friends! Please be quiet. In recent times, a considerable number of citizens have expressed their opinions on the situation.
The Daqin rx project under construction in Yiping has expressed strong concerns, and some people have also made requests to close the project. In order to answer everyone's concerns, the Yiping Municipal Government held an event like this today and invited Daqin Group and Blue
Sky Organization personnel debated on the spot the dangers of the rx project. Now I announce that the event has begun!" (To be continued.)
