"I am also thinking about the safety of the leader." Yang Chen looked at Tai Man in surprise, "Leader, I didn't expect you to be such a good fighter."
I really didn't see it before, Tai Man is actually a martial arts enthusiast, and he was able to easily drive away two hooligans.
"I have been practicing taekwondo since I was young. Dealing with a few troublemakers is no problem. Unlike you, who can only cause trouble without being helpful. Are you okay?" Tai Man complained, but deep down, she was a little touched. After all, Yang Chen was willing to stand in front of her when she was in danger.
Yang Chen moved his shoulder, "No bone injury, just apply some medicine when you get back."
"Let's still go to the hospital." Tai Man was still worried.
Yang Chen insisted, "No need. Don't forget, my grandfather and father are renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctors in the surrounding area. I've learned a thing or two from them."
Tai Man thought of how he had accompanied Yang Chen upstairs to treat his sprained ankle.
"If you're okay, I'll head back first."
Yang Chen said helplessly, "Leader, my injury is on my back, I can't apply medicine by myself."
"Are you asking me to apply the medicine for you?"
"I dare not, I dare not. How could I trouble the leader? It's really not a big deal. Even if I don't apply the medicine, the pain will be gone in a couple of days. Leader, please rest early." Yang Chen deliberately made a hissing sound from his mouth.
"Never mind, after all, you took the hit for me. I'll help you apply the medicine."
"The leader's care for the subordinates really makes me deeply grateful. Leader, rest assured, I, Yang Chen, will definitely go to great lengths for you. I wouldn't even flinch if I had to block a steel pipe for you, let alone a bullet."
"Those two thugs should have punched you in the mouth to stop your nonsense," Tai Man followed Yang Chen to Yang Chen's residence.
Yang Chen went to get the traditional herbal ointment for treating injuries. "Sorry to trouble you, leader."
"Do you have disposable gloves?"
"Such things have happened before, is it necessary to make such a fuss?" Yang Chen muttered to himself, then went to get a pair of disposable gloves and handed them to Tai Man.
Looking at the two bloodstains on Yang Chen's body, Tai Man worriedly said, "You should still go to the hospital for a check-up."
"Really no need, this ointment was formulated by my grandfather, it's very effective. Just apply it for a day and you'll be mostly healed."
Tai Man put on disposable gloves, scooped out the ointment and gently applied it for Yang Chen, while asking, "Who did you provoke outside? Why did someone hit you?"
I'm a straightforward and honest person, yet I still manage to offend someone - almost certainly that woman Xia Qi is looking for revenge against me.
"Who's Xia Qi?" asked Tai Man, sounding puzzled. "Why is she seeking revenge against you? Did you do something wrong to her?"
"Leader, Xia Qi and I really don't have the kind of relationship you think. Up to now, I've only been with you..."
*Sound of a slap*
Tai Man slapped Yang Chen on the back and warned, "Dare to say another word and see what happens!"
Yang Chen quickly shut his mouth. "I won't say anything, but you've really misunderstood me. Xia Qi came to see me early this morning with the intention of having me speak favorably for Haori Meat Company in front of you, so that you would allocate the land in the south of the city to them. Naturally, I couldn't do that. But that woman actually tried to seduce me using The Art of Seduction, and when I rejected her, she must have felt humiliated and sought revenge by sending someone after me."
"Really?" Tai Man was skeptical.
In her impression, Xia Qi was a capable and strong woman, how could she do something like seduction.
Yang Chen sighed, "Leader, it's hard to truly know someone's heart. And she's not the first to try to seduce me."
Yang Chen then recounted Xia Qi's attempt to get Zhao Na to speak favorably of her in front of Wang Ji, in an effort to seduce him into divorcing.
Tai Man finally believed Yang Chen, "I didn't expect this woman to be so By all means in her actions!"
"But even if she tries By all means, it's useless. I, Yang Chen, remain unmoved, The Art of Seduction doesn't work on me. The reason I was with you that night was also because..."
"Yang Chen, do you want to die?" Tai Man stood up in anger and embarrassment.
Tai Man still vaguely remembered that night, it was also because of her initiative.
"Leader, the medicine is almost finished. You should go back and rest. Also, you need to be on guard against Xia Qi. She didn't succeed with me, so she might try to make trouble with you."
Xia Qi coldly snorted, "I don't fear the soft, and I'm not afraid of the hard. If she wants to come, let her come. It seems that after the Ling River matter is resolved, I need to properly manage the public security in Hualin. How dare they commit acts of violence in broad daylight!"
"It's a black sky," Yang Chen corrected.
Tai Man rolled his eyes, took off his gloves, and walked away.
"Leader, take care."
...
Every other day, Tai Man convened a meeting on the renovation of Ling River, with leaders from various departments and Wang Hongen all in attendance. Although Xia Qi was in charge of the Ling River renovation project, he still had to report on the progress to the secretary.
After listening to the report, Wang Hongen said, "I didn't expect County Chief Tai to come up with a comprehensive plan so quickly. I think the plan is fine, let's continue to implement the next steps."
The next task is Project bidding, but after several days, only one company Bid.
"How could this happen?" A twenty million project is not a small project, any qualified company in the county should Bid.
Yang Chen is as expected, saying, "I suggested expanding the bidding scope to the urban area, but the leadership didn't listen to you."
"I just want to keep the project within Our county to promote the development of local construction teams," Xia Qi also has her own ideas. If the bidding scope is expanded to the urban area, it will be difficult for construction companies in county to compete.
"Only three county companies are capable of taking on this project."
"Well, the other two should also come and compete. Government projects can enhance their influence and they won't be treated unfairly. Why not Bid?"
Yang Chen pointed to the Tender document and said, "The head of this company is the nephew-in-law of County Magistrate Guo. Who would dare to compete? As long as it's a government project, they basically all fall into the hands of United Construction Company, unless United Construction Company isn't interested."
County Magistrate Guo is Hualin County's Deputy County Magistrate, Guo Tianyi. Wang Hongen was promoted from county mayor to Hualin County Party Secretary. People thought Guo Tianyi would be promoted to county mayor of Hualin County, but unexpectedly, Tai Man was parachuted in.
Tai Man really didn't know that United Construction Company had such a relationship with Guo Tianyi, the county magistrate. "Even if the boss of United Construction Company is County Magistrate Guo's nephew-in-law, what does it matter? Whoever has the strength will take on this project. You go and contact two other qualified companies for me, and let them Bid as they please."
Yang Chen advised, "It's better to forget about it. Even if I contact them, it's useless. They dare not compete with United. In Hualin County, any construction-related projects have to be chosen by United first. The projects left over by United are then contested by other companies. This has become an established rule."
"I must break this rule, you can let them argue all they want!"
