Chapter 3282 Digging out the rotten meat

Conference Room 9.

When Yang Xiaotao entered the conference room, Liang Zuoxin, Yu Zecheng, and Zhao Gang all stood up from their seats, their expressions grim.

"Tell me what happened!"

Yang Xiaotao walked to his seat and asked directly, his expression quite unpleasant.

The three looked at each other, and Yu Zecheng took out a report and spoke first, "We launched an investigation based on the information provided by Director Zhao."

As he spoke, Zhao Gang handed a tattered newspaper to Yang Xiaotao and said, "This is an anonymous tip we received."

Yang Xiaotao glanced at it and wrote a few words crookedly in the blank space at the edge of the newspaper.

Judging from the writing, the person is either using an unfamiliar hand or is new to writing.

However, Yang Xiaotao could clearly understand the meaning behind the words.

"Commander, we want to go to school!"

“They wouldn’t let us go to school, and they even took money from our family.”

Two lines of text, with no beginning and no end.

Then Zhao Gang handed over another envelope, "This envelope is homemade, made of white paper. The address on it is Huangjia Town, and it even has a stamp..."

As he spoke, Zhao Gang pointed to the stamp, which was a five-cent stamp featuring a female worker.

"This stamp has probably been used, but it has been treated so simply that you can't tell unless you look closely!"

Yu Zecheng suddenly spoke up, "It's also possible that they're pretending not to see it!"

Zhao Gang nodded, and Yang Xiaotao listened without saying a word.

"Afterwards, we sent people to Huangjia Town to check the situation according to the address on the envelope. Sun Ming has been reporting to us every day for the past two days!"

He opened the file, saying, "This is the information they gathered at the very beginning!"

Yang Xiaotao took it and started reading.

"The appearance of strangers in the village easily attracts attention, and a letter of introduction is indispensable for staying in the town!"

"Sun Ming and his team made contact with a small local steel mill before going down there. They used the steel mill's connections to investigate the quality of the steel!"

Yu Zecheng briefly explained the situation: "The news from the past two days was all trivial, but when Sun Ming called last night, he said they had contacted a rural teacher who said he knew some things and they were going to talk to him today!"

"I'm not entirely clear on the specifics, but it seems there's a discrepancy between the number of children in the village attending school and the amount of subsidies being distributed."

"Then, by the time we got the news, something bad had happened!"

"Sun Ming was the first to call the local police station, and they immediately sent people over to check the situation!"

"They called me later, but the signal dropped after only a couple of sentences."

"When we got back in touch, it was the local police station officers who contacted us!"

Yu Zecheng recounted all the information he had gathered, and Yang Xiaotao's expression turned cold and stern.

Liang Zuoxin remained silent until Yang Xiaotao entered, and only spoke after Yu Zecheng finished speaking, saying, "I've already had the rapid reaction squadron ready!"

"Special forces reserves can also be deployed at any time."

"There are three other factory security departments around Huangjia Town; we can manage to gather enough..."

After they finished speaking, the group looked at Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao had already come up with an idea on his way home.

"First, dispatch helicopters to safely bring the people back to Beijing, and let the hospitals do their best to treat them!"

"it is good!"

"Second, have the nearest security department send someone to protect the investigation team's residence."

"Yes!"

"Third, call on the local police station and ask them for help!"

Yang Xiaotao paused for a moment, then said solemnly, "Also, contact the local authorities and demand an explanation!"

The three looked at each other and finally nodded in agreement.

Soon, the three left one after another, and Yang Xiaotao returned to his office.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's appearance, Liu Lixue and Lou Xiao'e both recalled the incident in Liuzhou.

The situation then is so similar to the situation now.

Thinking back to that time, the two of them couldn't help but feel a sense of panic.

Ignoring the changes in their expressions, Yang Xiaotao sat down and thought for a while before saying to Lou Xiao'e, "Call Director Yang over!"

Lou Xiao'e immediately left the office, glancing at Liu Lixue before leaving. The latter nodded slightly to indicate that everything was alright.

The door closed, and Liu Lixue stood up and walked over. "President Yang, how do you plan to handle this matter?"

As they spoke, he picked up the teapot and poured tea for Yang Xiaotao.

"Handle it as it should be handled."

Yang Xiaotao didn't look at her, but gave a cold answer.

Liu Lixue glanced at Yang Xiaotao but didn't say anything more.

A moment later, Yang Youning and Lou Xiao'e returned together.

"Old Yang, there's something I need you to arrange."

Yang Youning heard about what happened in Huangjia Town, so he nodded and said, "Go on, I'm listening."

Yang Xiaotao nodded and said, "I need you to create a legal program on television that can broadcast some cases."

"The key is to popularize the law, so that people understand their responsibilities and obligations, and the rights they enjoy."

"One cannot do whatever one wants just because one does not understand the law, nor can one be blinded by others just because one does not understand the law."

"You know what I mean, right?"

Yang Youning pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand, I understand what you mean."

"Go find someone now, and broadcast it as soon as the radio starts."

After leaving the office, Yang Xiaotao stood by the window, looking out with a solemn expression.

People's hearts are restless; people's hearts have changed.

Yang Xiaotao knew that this parallel world had changed a lot.

There was not much internal strife or excessive internal friction; the economy experienced a qualitative leap, and technology made rapid progress.

The early emergence of high-yield crops and the high level of attention paid to them have brought about repeated changes in farmers' lives.

The development of light industry has also increased with the popularization of machinery, and the improvement of productivity has given people more leisure time.

The booming sales of televisions offer a glimpse into this phenomenon.

As the economy continues to develop, the 'historical inertia' of another time and space inevitably emerges, leading to a return to the old ways.

In fact, a surge is expected in the near future.

Lighting a cigarette, Yang Xiaotao looked at the leaves rustling in the wind outside the window and gently exhaled.

Those who do not occupy a position should not concern themselves with its affairs.

Now that he has reached this position, Yang Xiaotao is naturally aware of the responsibilities he shoulders.

In the smoke, Yang Xiaotao recalled what it was like when he first came into this world.

Red flags waved, spirits soared. Their hearts were filled with patriotic fervor!

Thinking about it carefully, I've been in this world for sixteen years, which is almost the length of a generation.

Over these sixteen years, Yang Xiaotao has walked step by step, experiencing laughter, tears, confusion, and longing, but more than anything, he has had a burning, bright hope.

Because he believed that at this time, the people still had dreams in their hearts and the light of revolution still shone in their eyes.

And he must hold onto this dream, hold onto the light in his eyes.

He wants to preserve the beauty in his heart for the lovely people under this starry sky.

He wants to keep this fiery red color flowing forever.

Perhaps this idea is too simplistic and wishful thinking.

Perhaps, in the face of the torrent of history, some are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating their own strength.

Having already traveled through time, how could I be satisfied without trying?

Watching the sparrows constantly descent from the tree in search of food, Yang Xiaotao suddenly smiled. 'Actually, it's not that difficult.'

"Just dig out the rotten meat."

Huangjia Town.

bump

"Look what you've done."

A middle-aged man in a white short-sleeved shirt slammed his fist on the table, looking furious. Standing in front of him was a row of cadres from Huangjia Town, both men and women, all of whom were quite old.

They had lost their former energy; instead, they all had their heads down, their faces tense.

"This is what you call foolproof, this is what you call an 'unreasonable request,' you idiots, a bunch of idiots."

The middle-aged man walked around the house, and as more and more good voices appeared, his mood sank to the bottom.

"Secretary Pan, we didn't expect them to go down there on their own. By the time our people got the news, it was too late."

"As you know, those villages are like this. There's no guarantee that nothing bad will happen to these outsiders if they go in."

Seeing that no one spoke, a middle-aged man nearby began to explain.

Do I need you to explain?

What are you explaining to me?

"You should go and explain to your superiors, to the heads of the nine departments. Do you think they'll listen?"

"After such a major accident, do you think they'll even listen?"

Everyone lowered their heads again, and even the person who had spoken earlier dared not utter a sound.

Silence fell over the scene.

Secretary Pan sat in his chair, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

The group looked at each other, their gazes finally settling on the middle-aged man who had spoken first.

This person is the section chief of the township education department.

"Secretary Pan!"

The middle-aged man swallowed hard and said, "What do we do now?"

"How to do?"

Secretary Pan snorted coldly, then suddenly stood up. "Do I need to teach you what to do?"

"Whoever ate it or took it must return it all. If they can't return it all, they have to make up for it themselves."

"Furthermore, everyone who did it, everyone who participated, should voluntarily confess."

"Don't take any chances. Don't forget the rapid reaction squadron of the Ninth Division. They're the kind of team that travels thousands of miles to Liuzhou."

"Before they arrive, quickly explain everything clearly."

"Otherwise, no one can save you."

After saying that, he slammed the door and left.

Inside the room, the group looked at each other, and someone was wiping the sweat from their face from time to time.

All eyes were on the middle-aged man in the lead, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Don't panic, don't be flustered."

"We still have time."

The middle-aged man forced himself to calm down, then looked at the woman beside him and said, "You, quickly find those prepared documents and make sure it's confirmed that the other party voluntarily gave up going to school."

The woman looked flustered. "These documents are simply not enough."

"Never mind all that, let's just take it out and deal with it."

"well."

The woman readily agreed, and then the middle-aged man said, "Now you go back and immediately gather people to raise the money to make up the difference."

"That way we can say it was a mistake on our part, and the punishment might be less severe."

"Also, the investigation team can't afford any more mistakes, especially with the data they've collected; we absolutely must get it back."

After the middle-aged man finished making the arrangements, everyone rushed out in a panic, and then the entire office building seemed to be in an earthquake, with everyone looking hurried.

In the office, a middle-aged man strode in and slammed the door shut.

"Uncle Pan, what should we do about this?"

The middle-aged man looked at Secretary Pan with a pleading expression on his face, as if he were grasping at a last straw.

Secretary Pan looked at the middle-aged man, feeling equally flustered.

He also reaped the benefits.

However, we need to understand the whole story right now.

"Jia Dao, tell me properly, what exactly happened?"

The middle-aged man swallowed hard, then stammered, "Uncle, I think it's something down there."

"Explain it more clearly."

Secretary Pan looked serious and wanted to know the specifics.

bang bang

Just then, a knock sounded at the door. The middle-aged man quickly regained his composure and opened the door, only to see the woman from before shouting anxiously, "Airplane! Airplane is here!"

buzz

whoosh whoosh

Then a piercing sound came from above, and gusts of wind howled into the room.

Secretary Pan ran to the door and watched as three helicopters slowly landed outside the office building.

It's not far away, and you can see it clearly.

The words "Nine Departments Security Division" came into view.

The three stood at the doorway, looking dazed.

"Here I am."

Secretary Pan himself didn't realize that the voice sounded a bit off.

The two people standing to the side had already gone weak in the knees, as if they were about to fall over at any moment.
