The words from Ma Guozhu shook everyone present. Zhang Chubin’s expression also changed at this moment. Looking at Mayor Ma, even his eyes were somewhat moist. This is what a real party member is like. Such a broad mind, such camaraderie.

Zhang Chubin was about to speak, but Nie Zhenbang pulled him aside. From Zhang Chubin’s expression, Nie Zhebang knew that Zhang Chubin was going to decline. With Mayor Ma’s character, he might lose his temper. Such a man is not just putting on a show. Anyone who doubts Mayor Ma’s intentions at this time would be insulting the mayor.

Then, Nie Zhenbang also nodded and said, “Mayor Ma, we will accept your money. Here, I assure you that every penny will be put to good use and will not be wasted.”

At this moment, hearing what Nie Zhenbang had said seemed to lift a huge weight off Ma Rongchang’s shoulders. He nodded with satisfaction and said to his grandson, Ma Guozhu, “Let’s go, it’s getting dark. Let’s head home.”

Looking at Mayor Ma’s retreating figure, in his solitude, he seemed even more towering. Such nobility, as the market economy gradually matures and society develops, people like Mayor Ma will become fewer and fewer. Nie Zhenbang felt somewhat helpless, but at this moment, he couldn’t help but admire Mayor Ma.

Nie Zhenbang then turned to Qu Feng, the director of the County Party Committee office, and said, “Director Qu, arrange a car to send Mayor Ma home. It’s dark and the road is long, and there aren’t any lights. Riding a bike is not safe.”

Nie Zhenbang and Zhang Chubin walked out of the office. At this moment, both of them were feeling a bit uneasy. After a moment of silence, Nie Zhenbang said, “Director Zhang, I’d like to discuss something with you. I think we can consider arranging a position for Mayor Ma’s grandson in the county party committee or government body. Old cadres and party members like Mayor Ma who wholeheartedly serve the people are truly role models for us. We can’t let the old man leave with worry.”

At this moment, Zhang Chubin also nodded in agreement and said, “Director Nie, you have a good suggestion. We haven’t done enough.”

After returning to the venue, Zhang Chubin immediately gave Xue Daming some instructions. After the next performance ended, the male host walked back to the center of the stage, still carrying the package from Mayor Ma, and said passionately, “Dear leaders and friends in the audience. Just now, we received a special donation. This is a donation delivered to us personally by an old cadre…”

At this moment, Zhang Chubin had also walked to the center of the stage, his expression very serious, and said solemnly, “Mayor Ma’s spirit is worthy of our learning. This is a real party member. An old cadre, his life’s savings, all donated. Here, I call on all cadres in the county to learn Ma Rongchang’s noble spirit and his ethos of serving the country and the people. We should contribute our own strength to build Lixian.”

The moment his words fell, several people in the audience had already stood up and shouted, “Director Zhang, we want to donate!”

One yuan, two yuan. Ten yuan, fifty yuan. It is the accumulation of small steps that leads to a journey of a thousand miles; it is the accumulation of small streams that forms a mighty river. At this moment, under the influence of this lofty personality, the passion of the people of the county seemed to have erupted all at once. The donation boxes set up at the event were quickly filled up.

By the end of the event, in addition to the seven million donations from several businesses, the county had received a staggering two million plus in educational donations. Two million plus. Subtracting the previous donations from county party and government organs as well as various units totaling nearly one million, this means that the audience of over six thousand donated more than 1.1 million, averaging about two hundred yuan per person. This is equivalent to a month or even several months’ income for the ordinary people of Lixian.

After the event, the education special fund of nine million one hundred seventeen thousand two hundred fifty-five yuan and four cents was immediately transferred by Nie Zhenbang to the account of the Lixian Education Committee. At the same time, the county finance bureau also sent in a special auditor to the education committee to supervise the use of these funds.

After the event, Lixian returned to its normal work routine. Nie Zhenbang was even busier at this point. The renovation and rebuilding of schools throughout the county, though mainly the responsibility of the county education committee, also required his attention as the county head. Matters related to the resettlement of residents and the development area were even more pressing. Now, Nie Zhenbang wished he could split himself in two.

At this moment, a voice suddenly called out from the county government courtyard, “Feng Jiao, Feng Jiao, come out!”

Feng Jiao was a celebrity in the county government. In the official circle, female cadres, especially pretty ones, were never short of rumors.

At this moment, a man suddenly rushed to the county government and loudly called out Feng Jiao’s name. Immediately, many county government staff members ran out.

Seeing that people were coming, the man was even more energized and shouted again, “Feng Jiao, you bitch, you think you can just hide? You think I can’t find you if you run to Lixian? Let me tell you, as long as I live, you won’t get off so easily. We still have the rest of our lives to play with.”

Hearing the man’s roar again, Nie Zhenbang’s eyebrows furrowed. He looked up and said, “Xiaoyi, come in.”

As Nie Zhenbang’s voice fell, Yi Jun entered from outside and asked, “Director, you called for me?”

Nie Zhenbang pointed out the window and nodded, “Xiaoyi, go check out who that is, causing such a ruckus in a government office, speaking so obscenely. What’s going on?”

For such people, Nie Zhenbang had the utmost disdain. Judging by this man’s tone, he had a close relationship with Yan Fengjiao. But no matter who he is, such a blatant disregard of decency was unacceptable. After all, Yan Fengjiao is the vice mayor of the Li County Government. She is a leader within the county’s administration. By behaving this way, isn’t he tarnishing Yan Fengjiao’s reputation?

By the time Yi Jun reached the ground floor, Director Gu from the county government’s security sector had already arrived. Looking at the man, Director Gu also tried to reason with him, “Comrade, who are you? Even if you are a family member of County Mayor Yan, this is a government building. How can you make such a racket? This is not your home, but a government office. Do we not need a normal work order anymore?”

Upon hearing Director Gu’s words, the man became even more enraged. He rushed up to Director Gu and shouted, “Who the hell do you think you are? You dare to meddle in my affairs. You’re nothing. Do you even know who I am? My name is Fan Jianjun. Fan Guoliang is my dad! You’re not qualified to argue with me.”

Fan Jianjun’s words left all the officials of Lixian gasping. Fan Guoliang was none other than the former Secretary of Bazhou City. No wonder this young man was so audacious, he wasn’t just anybody.

At this moment, Director Gu backed down. Although Fan Guoliang had retired many years ago, he was probably about seventy years old. But he was, after all, the former city secretary. More importantly, the current city secretary, Liu Wenqing, had once been Fan Guoliang’s secretary. This connection was what everyone feared.

Yi Jun had also stepped downstairs by now and seeing the situation calm down, his brows furrowed as he said in a deep voice, “Director Gu, what’s going on here? He’s disrupting work order in the government office. Escort him out immediately. What a spectacle he’s making.”

Fan Jianjun, a man of about forty to forty-two, was clean-shaven with a sinister air about him. When he spoke, his voice was shrill. When he was angry, his face became horribly twisted, giving off a menacing aura.

Hearing Yi Jun’s words, Fan Jianjun’s eyebrows raised in anger. “Who the hell do you think you are? I came to find my wife. What does this have to do with you? If you know what’s best, get the hell away from me.”

“Fan Jianjun! What do you think you’re doing?” A furious shout rang through the air. Yan Fengjiao’s face was filled with anger, her face turning a deep red as she glared at Fan Jianjun.

On seeing Yan Fengjiao emerge, Fan Jianjun began to laugh. With his fingers crooked like the petal of an orchid, he said, “And what am I doing? You wretch! You went behind my back to pull strings and have Liu Wenqing transfer you to Lixian, and you thought you could get away? Hmph, Yan Fengjiao, stop dreaming – there’s no escape for you in this lifetime. You put me in this state. You dream of living a peaceful life, you really think that’s possible?”

Yan Fengjiao’s face shifted colors. After all, she was the vice mayor of Li County Government. She was a leader. Yet here she was being scolded by Fan Jianjun as a ‘wretch’ and ‘whore’, leaving her with no dignity or respect. Tears were already streaming down her face. In a hoarse, spent voice, Yan Fengjiao pleaded. “Fan Jianjun! I’m begging you, let me go. If there are any issues, let’s talk about it when we get home. Can you please give me some face here?”

“Face? Hmph! You wretch, do you have any face left?” Fan Jianjun sneered. “You whore, you absolute slut. You dare talk about face in front of me? When you were avoiding me, ignoring my calls, did you spare any thought for my dignity?”

To everyone’s surprise, Fan Jianjun, who had only been verbally abusive until now, suddenly lunged at Yan Fengjiao, grabbing her hair and pulling. With this sudden move, Yan Fengjiao was knocked off balance and fell to the ground, crying out in pain.

“Stop it! Who are you? We can’t interfere with your family affairs with County Mayor Yan. But you are here causing such a ruckus. What a spectacle this is. Director Gu, immediately have this mad dog removed.” At this point, Nie Zhenbang, his expression grave, stood at the entrance of the government office building.

PS: Brothers and sisters, it’s the end of the month and Old Cai knows not many of you may have monthly tickets left. Still, I ask for your support. Please give a monthly ticket if you can.
