Chapter 2171
Dismissal
The neighborhood offices of today are different from those of the past.
Previously, they had to manage everything, and the neighborhood committee had a lot of power. More importantly, they also owned collective enterprises, which generated sufficient revenue.
Everything has changed now.
The government has clearly defined the scope of authority of the subdistrict offices, and the leaders of the subdistrict offices cannot provide financial assistance to help Yi Zhonghai and others solve their problems.
Director Qian also realized that Yi Zhonghai and the others wanted He Yuzhu to be the scapegoat.
For him, resolving the troubles caused by Yi Zhonghai and his group was the most important thing.
If He Yuzhu can spend money to help the subdistrict office gain some political achievements, that would be good.
"You mean you want He Yuzhu to lend you money, right?"
"Yes. That's exactly what we mean. But we can't get in touch with him. We hope the neighborhood committee can call him over." Seeing that Director Qian understood their meaning, the three people nodded quickly.
Director Qian didn't think it was a big deal, so he agreed: "Do you know his phone number?"
“We only know the phone number for Chaoyang Hotel,” Yi Zhonghai quickly replied, afraid that Director Qian might change his mind.
Director Qian clearly wanted to help them, so he naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Director Qian thought for a moment and then said, "Then you wait here, I'll go make a call."
A staff member followed Director Qian out: "Director, are you going to call Chaoyang Hotel?"
Director Qian stopped in his tracks: "Do you have other ideas?"
"No. I just feel like this is a bit inappropriate. We all know He Yuzhu's relationship with them, do you think he would agree to this?"
Director Qian said firmly, "Of course I know about the conflict between them."
However, this is a matter of life and death.
No matter how big their conflict is, can it be bigger than a human life?
That amount of money, which would be an astronomical figure for others, was just a drop in the ocean for He Yuzhu.
He took out some money to help these old neighbors; it was a good deed, after all.
Okay, that's settled then.
Ignoring his subordinates' advice, Director Qian made a direct call to Chaoyang Hotel.
Xie Fang received the call and, not wanting to refuse, said she would report it to He Yuzhu.
Director Qian said, "Manager Xie, you should tell your General Manager He that it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester."
Moreover, this is a good deed, a matter of life and death.
On behalf of the director of Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office, I hope that Mr. He can come here and work together to solve this problem.
I know that Mr. He and Yi Zhonghai and the others have some misunderstandings.
But what neighbor living together doesn't have conflicts?
If everyone talks things out openly, the problem will be solved.
They're waiting in my office; I hope Mr. He will arrive soon.
Xie Fang hung up the phone and then spoke to He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu said directly, "Alright. Don't worry about it. I'll handle this."
If you can't solve the problem, then solve the people who created it.
Since Director Qian dared to threaten him, he shouldn't blame him for being impolite.
With just one phone call from He Yuzhu, Director Qian was dismissed.
Inside the Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office, Yi Zhonghai waited in the meeting room for over an hour but still didn't see Director Qian.
The group was getting a little impatient, so they asked someone for directions.
"Comrade, where is Director Qian?"
At this time, everyone in the subdistrict office knew that Director Qian had been dismissed, and people were filled with anxiety.
Who would bother with other people's business?
"Director Qian has been dismissed."
"Huh?" Yi Zhonghai's mouth dropped open in shock. "What happened? Everything was fine just now!"
"I don't know." That was the cold reply he received.
If this were in a courtyard house, he would definitely teach that person a lesson if anyone dared to speak to him like that.
But this is not a traditional courtyard house.
Yi Zhonghai didn't have the guts to lose his temper with the street office officials.
He could only ask gently, "Then what about our situation?" "Just wait and see." It was still a sentence about feelings.
Having no other option, Yi Zhonghai had to return to the conference room.
Liu Haizhong then asked, "Old Yi, how did it go? What did Director Qian say?"
Yi Zhonghai sighed: "There's no Director Qian left, he's been dismissed."
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui stood up in shock.
"He was just the director a moment ago, how come he's been dismissed? You didn't hear wrong, did you? Was he promoted?" Liu Haizhong asked doubtfully.
Yan Bugui chimed in, "That's right, Director Qian didn't do anything wrong, so how could he be dismissed?"
Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai became uncertain. He also harbored a sliver of hope that he had misheard.
Director Qian shared the same idea as him.
After receiving the call from his superior, he looked incredulous.
You should know that not long ago, his former boss had told him that he was going to be promoted to the district level.
This is also why he hoped He Yuzhu would provide the funds to resolve the issues concerning Yi Zhonghai and the others.
He didn't want any trouble to arise just as he was about to be promoted.
Director Qian called his former boss, and the only reply he received was three words: "I don't know."
His former boss was the second-in-command in the district. If even his former boss didn't know, Director Qian would be even more flustered.
Secretary Li from the subdistrict office also learned of the news and came to Director Qian's office.
"Old Qian, what happened? How come you were suddenly dismissed?"
Director Qian looked completely bewildered: "I don't know. Old Li, you know a lot of people, could you ask around for me? I..."
Secretary Li said, "I asked the leaders, and they said they didn't know. It was a direct notice from the city."
"The city?"
Director Qian was even more bewildered.
He couldn't understand why those high-ranking city leaders would pay attention to a mere street office director like him.
Judging from his expression, Secretary Li knew that he didn't understand the situation either.
The most terrifying situation is when you don't even know who you've offended.
This means that if the person he offended doesn't speak up, Director Qian's career is basically over.
Fearing trouble, Secretary Li quietly left Director Qian's office.
Yi Zhonghai and the others left the meeting room and, leaning against the sign for the street office, found Director Qian's place.
"Director Qian, what about our matter?"
"Get out." Director Qian is no longer Director Qian, so naturally he has no scruples.
Yi Zhonghai and a few others became the targets of his venting.
Seeing Director Qian, who looked like an angry lion, Yi Zhonghai and the others chickened out and slunk away.
They wanted to find someone else, but nobody cared about their affairs.
Left with no other option, the group had to leave the neighborhood office.
Liu Haizhong was completely bewildered: "That Director Qian must have made a big mistake. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been suddenly dismissed."
Just like me back then…
Yi Zhonghai said with dissatisfaction, "Don't bring up what happened back then. In the entire subdistrict office, only Director Qian is a good person who is willing to help us."
He's been dismissed now, what about us?
Qin Huairu suddenly thought of He Yuzhu and said in surprise, "Do you think Director Qian was dismissed because he helped us?"
Yi Zhonghai said, "Impossible. He was doing a good deed by helping us. How can someone be dismissed for doing a good deed?"
Liu Haizhong retorted, "Why is it impossible? Who is Sha Zhu? And who is his wife's father?"
"If Sha Zhu wanted to get revenge on Director Qian, getting him dismissed would be a piece of cake."
Yi Zhonghai fell silent immediately.
If that's the case, then his method of using the neighborhood committee to deal with He Yuzhu won't work.
Not only the neighborhood committee, but even the public security bureau couldn't get through to them.
Why do methods that worked before no longer work now?
Yi Zhonghai was confused. (End of Chapter)
