With the land use approval, Xiao Dazhuang could dig the mountain behind the village in the name of exploiting coal and promoting economic growth.
He didn't know why Leader Wang retreated with his people after answering a phone call, but there was no turning back for him right now.
Leader Wang hadn't fawn on Fang Shen right now. Maybe he left because something urgent happened and he had to deal with it.
Waving the document, Xiao roared at Fang as if he went mad.
Standing still, Fang looked to the group of people approaching, remaining silent.
Suddenly, someone caught Xiao's arm and led him aside.
Xiao turned his head and saw Director Li of Bureau of Natural Resources of Jianghai County. They had dinner together last night, but Li took the document back with a straight face.
"Director Li, what's going on?" Xiao asked in confusion.
"Mr. Fang?" Shen Hong, chief of Bureau of Public Security of Jianghai City, greeted Fang tentatively.
He was excited at this moment. He was reluctantly to be away on official business in normal times, but this time, the Ye Clan asked him to go to the Jianghai Village to help a young man called Fang Shen.
As a native in Jianghai City, he knew well about the power of Ye Clan. After he got things done this time, the Ye Clan might help him to get promoted if the Ye Clan was satisfied with the results.
Shen was quite curious about Fang as well. Fang was only above twenty, but the Ye Clan thought highly of him.
"I am Fang Shen." He replied as he stepped forward.
Shen immediately moved forward and held Fang's hand with both hands. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Fang. I'm Shen Hong, chief of Bureau of Public Security of Jianghai City."
"Nice to meet you." Fang greeted indifferently.
A man in black suit and leather shoes moved forward as well and introduced himself, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Fang. I'm Zhu Ming, secretary of Bureau of Natural Resources of Jianghai City."
"Nice to meet you too."
While Fang, Shen and Zhu were chatting together, the rest people widened their eyes and became dumbfounded.
The high-ranking officials travelled a long distance just to fawn on Fang Shen?
Wang swallowed hard and wiped the sweat away from his head. He was so thankful that he answered the phone in time and didn't offend Fang so much.
Xiao fell down to the ground. He couldn't believe what he had seen.
"No wonder he said Zhang Lu was nothing. I thought he was talking nonsense. It turns out the officials from Jianghai City have to fawn on him. Zhang Lu is indeed nothing to him. I managed to get the land use approval at a heavy price, but I've come all this way for nothing!" Xiao thought to himself, lost in despair.
"Mr. Shen, Mr. Zhu," Fang stated in a serious manner. "Since you happen to be here, as a part of Jianghai Vilaage, I have something to report to you."
Shen and Zhu's faces convulsed at Fang's words. "We made a special trip of fifty kilometers to Jianghai Village only because of your phone call!" They thought.
They smiled in a friendly way and said sincerely, "Mr. Fang, please feel free to talk."
"Jianghai Village is an environmental protection area. I guess enterprises with high pollution such as coal mine are not allowed to be established here. Am I right?"
"Of course!" Zhu answered firmly. "Any act that may damage the environment in Jianghai Village is prohibited."
