Looking at the several leaders of the county committee who appeared disheveled from the mountainous path, Ji Yang stepped forward to meet them, shaking hands with each person and saying, "You’ve all had a hard time."
"Secretary Ji, did those things really happen here?"
After receiving Ji Yang’s phone call and learning that people from the provincial and municipal levels had arrived in Kuzhu Town, these leaders from the county committee could no longer sit still.
With so many leaders coming, they could not possibly just sit in the county office, so they all hurried over.
"The case has now been handed over to comrades from the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, and I’m not quite clear about the specifics myself, but it’s a big deal."
"Ji Yang, with such a big issue, why didn’t you first let the county know?" Huangfu Kun caught his breath for a while before speaking up, clearly unhappy.
"Mayor Huangfu, the situation is complicated. I was worried that some of the local cadres might be colluding with certain people in the county, so I dared not notify the county."
Huangfu Kun frowned and said, "I still haven’t figured out the situation, tell me about it."
Although this young man always seemed rather aloof, Ji Yang wasn’t dissatisfied and instead looked at the crowd and said, "I will give everyone a rough idea of the situation."
Ji Yang then explained that he originally came here for an investigation but discovered some issues, and then quickly arranged to handle the matter.
After hearing this, everyone was speechless, truly not expecting such a situation.
In this matter, Ji Yang’s performance was commendable. Not only did he avoid getting caught up in it, but he also quickly resolved the issue at hand. This was a big merit in itself, and even if the higher-ups understood the situation later, they would also praise him. In contrast, the county’s leaders didn’t accomplish much in this matter.
Many of them had come here hoping to gain political achievements. If they had been involved in this matter, they would indeed have benefited greatly.
After all, they had just arrived; the previous incidents were not related to them. As long as they played a role in this matter, they would naturally achieve some success.
However, Ji Yang had not informed them throughout the entire event. They only learned about it afterward, and by then, they couldn’t claim any credit.
No wonder Huangfu Kun was so infuriated.
As for what they thought, Ji Yang didn’t care and looked toward the crowd, saying, "As you’ve all seen on the way here, there are many problems in this area, starting with transportation. We’ve been developing for so long, yet there is no road leading here. Isn’t that laughable?"
Remembering their journey here, everyone’s faces were grim, as they truly had not expected such a situation.
"If we could build a road here, it would benefit generations to come!" Ji Yang said, looking directly at Huangfu Kun.
Sure enough, although Huangfu Kun was still angry, his eyes lit up at these words and he said loudly, "Indeed, building a road here is a major issue. I think we must get this road through as soon as possible."
Ji Yang said, "I’m afraid the plan for building roads this year has probably fallen through, so we need to find a solution."
Huangfu Kun said, "The road is not that long and won’t need much funding. I will handle this matter."
Ji Yang nodded internally. Huangfu Kun was an astute person. With such a big incident occurring in Kuzhu Town, it would quickly become the focus. In this situation, everyone would realize that the road issue was a major one. If Huangfu Kun took responsibility for building the road and got it done, he would be credited with a significant achievement.
"Alright, Comrade Huangfu Kun, please take on this task. If you need our cooperation, just let us know."
"No need, I can handle it."
Ji Yang nodded and said, "Although I haven’t started the investigation yet, from what I know, even though the Huang Family is the largest here, in reality, most of their members are at the bottom rung of society. What we need to do now is to start working as quickly as possible."
The leaders from the county committee all understood the seriousness of the situation and nodded repeatedly.
