The Deputy Mayor of Hu Shan Town, Zhou Hongyuan, was thinking about something else. Xu Chunliang is not simple, within just two days, he managed to trace Mrs. Jiang’s whereabouts on Weishan Island clearly.

In fact, it’s not hard to find out these things, but why did no one else think of it? Even if they thought of it, they might not have done it. According to his original thought, the person is already dead, so the main focus should be on the aftermath; what significance does investigating these problems have?

Now it seems not only significant but very significant, as Xu Chunliang used surveillance footage to clear up the whole thing, and from the current situation, the Da Heng Group is unlikely to extricate itself from it.

On the screen, Mrs. Jiang stumbled as she walked into the night, the footage due to the lighting flickered, much like the uncertainties of life.

Mrs. Jiang must have wanted to see the construction site of the Hot Spring Town. Although Da Heng Group’s construction speed is average, the company is very outstanding in terms of safety on the construction site.

Mrs. Jiang couldn’t successfully enter the construction site and had to walk along the fence of the construction site, walked and walked until she reached the construction site of the Huannian Health and Elderly Care Hospital, the small gate of the site was open, the security office light was on, but there was no security guard at the door, so Mrs. Jiang just walked in.

Everything fell into darkness...

The surveillance finished playing, and Xu Chunliang asked Lv Aihe to turn on all the lights.

The conference room remained silent, and everyone’s expression was heavy, as was their mood.

Xu Chunliang took a sip of tea and said, "Does anyone have anything to say after watching it?" He looked at Wu Fajun.

Wu Fajun was obviously more confident at this moment, everyone sees something different in the same surveillance footage, Wu Fajun said, "Based on this surveillance video, it can fully prove that Jiang Ailian mistakenly entered our Huayuan Group’s construction site, she mistook our site for another developer’s site, in this matter, our Huayuan Group is completely misunderstood and victimized."

Wu Fajun didn’t name Da Heng Group, which was considered giving Liu Jiaqi face. The surveillance video was very clear, Mrs. Jiang was there to ask Da Heng for a refund. If Da Heng Group had refunded her earlier, this tragedy might not have happened.

Tan Haiyan said, "The responsibilities we should bear, we will not shirk, but the responsibilities we shouldn’t bear, we won’t accept either." She felt she had supplemented appropriately, feeling much relieved inside, as she had been tormented for the past two days. Luckily, Xu Chunliang gave them a clean slate.

Xu Chunliang said, "Then what responsibilities do you think you should bear?"

That single question stumped Tan Haiyan, she looked at Wu Fajun, who cursed inwardly, who told you to butt in?

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Secretary Tan, don’t be concerned, say whatever you need to, our team requires criticism and self-criticism."

The attendees all felt like laughing, Tan Haiyan brought this upon herself, why show off without any reason? Now Xu Chunliang caught her loophole, the surveillance video just now pointed towards Da Heng, but does not mean Huayuan Group has no responsibility.

Tan Haiyan pursed her lips, what does Xu Chunliang mean by this? Shooting here and there, what do you actually want? Isn’t your purpose, by showing this video, to help us out of the predicament?

Wu Fajun said, "What Secretary Tan means is that the responsibilities need to be clarified, it should be clear what the real reason behind Jiang Ailian’s incident is."

Xu Chunliang said, "Comrade Wu Fajun, did you not carefully read the case description that was handed out? Mr. Li already gave a complete explanation inside: Jiang Ailian committed suicide, this is beyond doubt. Just now Comrade Haiyan said you will not shirk the responsibilities you should bear, I appreciate your attitude, but solving the problem still needs specifics. I want to ask, what do you think is the problem with Huayuan in this process?"

Xu Chunliang caught on to one issue and pressed on relentlessly, not giving them any breathing space.

Zhou Hongyuan reached into his pocket for a cigarette but ultimately held back, Xu Chunliang is indeed not simple; even he can’t see through his tricks. However, at this moment, he doesn’t mind adding insult to injury, calmly saying, "Mayor Xu means that your Huayuan Group should reflect on the issues within yourselves."

Wu Fajun said to Tan Haiyan, "Secretary Tan has always been responsible for the work here." His meaning was clear; the mess you made, you clean it up.

Tan Haiyan said, "In this matter, we found shortcomings in our work, mainly a lack of safety management, with insufficient safety awareness of contractors and many loopholes in project management."

Xu Chunliang said, "I’m a bit unclear, are you talking about the contractor’s problem or your own problem?"

Tan Haiyan said, "We didn’t play the correct supervisory role."

Xu Chunliang said, "Who specifically is responsible for engineering supervision in the Huayuan Group?"

Tan Haiyan thought to herself, don’t you know? In the past, weren’t all engineering matters managed by you?

Xu Chunliang said, "If I’m not mistaken, it should be Tang Tianyi, right?"

Wu Fajun and Tan Haiyan exchanged glances; in this respect, they indeed aren’t as clear as Xu Chunliang, Tang Tianyi is indeed responsible for overseeing the safety of the Huannian Health and Elderly Care Hospital project, but this guy is just a figurehead, no one has seen him visit once since the start of the project.

Xu Chunliang said, "You don’t know?"

Wu Fajun said, "I’ve just come to Huannian Health and am still adapting to the work process."

Tan Haiyan said, "Mayor Xu, you know that in the past, I was always responsible for the party group work, the specific matters were managed by you."

The attendees silently laughed, this Tan Haiyan really leaves people speechless, do you still take Xu Chunliang as the former Weishan Island Hospital director? This guy is now the mayor of Hu Shan Town, and anyway, there’s no sign he intends to stand up for Huayuan Group.

Xu Chunliang said, "President Ding, you are the contractor of the Huannian Health and Elderly Care Hospital, what do you think are the problems you have this time?"

Ding Si said, "Since the tragedy has happened, we at Dingli Construction will not shirk our responsibilities, we respect the final findings of leaders at all levels, and we will bear any responsibility we need to. Currently, I have already fired the two security guards responsible for security that day, who were temporary workers."

Ding Si’s statement showed some accountability, at least better than Tan Haiyan’s constant shirking of responsibility.

Xu Chunliang said, "No safety incident is trivial, President Ding should take this as a warning. Huayuan Group’s supervision is lax, in light of the societal impact of this incident, I have decided to temporarily halt the Huannian Health and Elderly Care Hospital project, for a comprehensive safety self-examination, supervised by the town’s Comprehensive Law Enforcement Office."

The room went silent, when the surveillance was played earlier, everyone thought Xu Chunliang was going to mediate for Huayuan Group, directing the accusations toward Da Heng, but unexpectedly, the first blade he swung was towards Huayuan Group.

Xu Chunliang said to Director Li Fangliang of the Comprehensive Law Enforcement Office, "Director Li, I apologize for the extra work."

Li Fangliang said, "Mayor Xu, rest assured, I will promptly supervise Huayuan Group to improve its safety mechanism."

Wu Fajun was also caught off guard, halting work? Although it’s presently the New Year period, issuing a work suspension notice will undoubtedly have a negative impact on Huayuan Group, Huayuan is a listed company, and this impact will soon be reflected in the stock price.

Xu Chunliang turned his gaze to Liu Jiaqi, Liu Jiaqi’s heart pounded, if Xu Chunliang can be so harsh with his old company, even more so with them.

Xu Chunliang said, "President Liu, what responsibilities do you think Da Heng ought to bear?"

Liu Jiaqi said, "This incident is an accident, and..."

Xu Chunliang interrupted her and said, "Everything is clear, I don’t need explanations. A house is also a type of commodity, you engaged in pre-sales of a product, where the consumers didn’t even see the physical product, and already gave all their money to you. ’Taking people’s money to eliminate disasters for them,’ but you’ve brought disaster upon them instead, look into your conscience."

Liu Jiaqi said, "Mayor Xu, Jiang Ailian’s suicide wasn’t because of us, we cannot accept your statement."

Xu Chunliang said, "I haven’t finished speaking, don’t interrupt me; this is basic respect between people. If you don’t even respect me, how can you talk about respecting consumers?"

Liu Jiaqi was bewildered, fearing Xu Chunliang’s imposing accusations without evidence, she thought he was trying to trap her.

Xu Chunliang said, "Mrs. Jiang stood outside your sales office for a whole day, your security didn’t see her? Even just saying a few comforting words or offering her a cup of hot tea might have prevented her from taking a desperate path. Why can’t your security exhibit some humanity? When people came to buy a house, you welcomed them with a smile, but once you got the money into your accounts, you turned hostile, do you understand who really owns the Hot Spring Town?"

Liu Jiaqi said, "I admit there are deficiencies in our work and we will try to correct them in the future, but Mayor Xu, your statement is biased. First, we came to Weishan Island for investment to promote the local economy, in the first place, it was the Hu Shan Town leadership that made considerable efforts, and this is why Da Heng decided to settle on Weishan Island. Second, our security strictly adheres to the rules and regulations, and I believe there’s nothing wrong with that."

Xu Chunliang solemnly said, "The intention of Hu Shan Town’s leadership bringing in Da Heng was to promote the local economy, but Da Heng, and also Huayuan, you renowned enterprises, none of you came to Hu Shan Town to do charity, your purpose is to make money. You must understand one thing, it is the Hu Shan Town government that gave you the opportunity, it is the local people who gave you the opportunity."

All the people from the Hu Shan Town government were stunned, although they all thought the same. At the beginning, they treated investors with the utmost respect, like almighty patrons, but soon they realized everyone in this world is driven by profit. Whether it is Da Heng or Huayuan, or other investors, weren’t they all attracted by the opportunity of Dongzhou’s development into a national-level resort district? They came to make money.
