Chapter Twenty: Entrusting a Task in a Critical Situation

  At the Standing Committee meeting, as expected by Zhou Dalong, five members of the Standing Committee, led by Zhang Dashan, strongly demanded that those responsible be held accountable and severely punished for this incident. They also shifted the blame for Jamison's unauthorized trip to the county party committee office.

  Zhang Daxian proposed that Jameson must be subject to public security punishment, saying that the present is not the Qing dynasty era, the Chinese people have stood up, foreigners who commit crimes in the country should also be punished, and cannot ignore the law because of investment promotion, otherwise the leadership team of Yonghe County will be scolded by the masses as weak and contemptible, and become a second-rate citizen when seeing foreigners.

  The fact itself is that the county committee office has no reason, after all, the person in charge of taking care of Luo Lun and Jamison is a staff member of the county committee office. Jamison went out at midnight, and the county committee office was unaware of it, resulting in Jamison being caught. When dealing with the personnel responsible for taking care of Jamison in the county committee office, even Chen Yuan, the director of the county committee office, cannot find a reason to defend them.

  Zhou Dalong was forced to swallow his anger and could only propose a motion to handle the prostitution case of Jamison in a low-key manner, prioritizing attracting investment.

  For the sake of investment promotion in the county, Jemison's public security punishment can be appropriately reduced or exempted, and Jemison will not be detained for public security reasons. However, a fine must still be imposed on Jemison, with an amount of at least 100 yuan payable according to the minimum standard. Fortunately, Zhou Dalong was still able to control the Standing Committee, and his proposal was passed by a show of hands.

  After the Standing Committee meeting, Zhou Dalong smashed a cup as soon as he returned to his office. Jamison left the hotel alone and surprisingly no one noticed. Moreover, the Public Security Bureau found Jamison's location in the hair salon with incredible accuracy and caught him red-handed, which suggests that this was premeditated.

  Who in Yunhe County can command the Yunhe Hotel and also command Director Luo Song of the Public Security Bureau? Without thinking, it's clear that it must be Zhang Dashan. Apart from him, no one else would dare to take such actions at this critical moment.

  Luckily, Jimmy followed Yang Jie to Hukou Township, and Luo Lun fell asleep again. The matter of Jamieson has not expanded for the time being, so there is still a chance to make amends. Considering that Yang Jie had established a good private relationship with Jimmy and was also proficient in English, he could have a friendly conversation with Jamieson.

  So Zhou Dalong let Chen Yuan hurry to Hukou Township and bring Yang Jie back to the county town, letting Yang Jie handle this matter.

  Santana drove very quickly, and by the time Chen Yuan had finished explaining the situation in detail, the car had already entered the county town.

  "Director Zhou and Director Lei are waiting for you at the county party committee office. They can't show up in person, so we'll go see them first and then send you to the Public Security Bureau later." Chen Yuan said to Yang Jie as he saw Santana had already entered the county party committee compound.

  "The secretary and others really don't want to show up, in fact, this matter, any county party committee leader is not convenient to show up, after all, such a shameful thing, Jamison doesn't want everyone to know." Yang Jie nodded understandingly, the county did not send leaders to the Public Security Brigade, this matter was handled relatively steadily.

  The county committee building, fifth floor, secretary's office. At this time, Zhou Dalong and Lei Shuping were sitting in the office, frowning and smoking, the whole room was filled with smoke, and the ashtray was already full of cigarette butts, it can be seen that their mood at this time was very bad.

  "Secretary, Yang Jie is here!" Chen Yuan knocked on the door and pushed open the office door, ignoring the smoke in the room.

  "Hurry up and let him in!" Zhou Dalong's spirits lifted at the words, he extinguished the cigarette in his hand and stood up to open the window, letting out the smoke in the room.

  Yang Jie followed Chen Yuan into the office, looking at this spacious secretary's office, which was decorated very simply and low-key. Except for a row of bookshelves, a large office desk, an executive chair, a set of guest sofas, a tea table, and two armchairs, there were no other unnecessary items.

  This is Zhou Dalong's home, Yang Jie has been here several times. His office, however, he came for the first time. Looking at Zhou Dalong and Lei Shuping sitting on the sofa, "Secretary Zhou, Secretary Lei, Yang Jie reports for duty!"

  "Alright! Little Jie, I've been waiting for you!" Zhou Dalong saw Yang Jie calm and composed, with excellent mental quality, nodded in satisfaction, and let Yang Jie sit down before saying in a deep voice: "About Jamison's matter, I suppose Director Chen has already told you about it on the way here?"

  "Director Chen has already told me about the Jamison matter, and I have to take responsibility for it. Yang Jie needs to apologize to the secretary for causing trouble for the leaders!" Yang Jie said as he stood up and bowed deeply to Zhou Dalong and Lei Shuping.

  Zhou Dalong was taken aback by the words and looked at Yang Jie in front of him, puzzled and asked: "What does this mean?"

  "Secretary, it's like this..." Yang Jie seeing Zhou Dalong didn't understand, immediately told him about the lowering blood pressure wine and the tonic wine, and informed Zhou Dalong that Jimmy had Secretary Lei's driver send the wine to the county town, letting Luo Lun and Jamieson taste the wine.

  After listening to Yang Jie's account, Zhou Daliang, Lei Shuping and Chen Yuan in the office all felt a little ridiculous. Jensen's affair was actually related to Yang Jie and Jimmy. The reason why Jensen went to find a girl at night was because he drank the aphrodisiac wine brewed by Yang Jie.

  Zhou Dalong looked at Yang Jie with a strange expression, unable to speak for half a moment. He pointed at Yang Jie several times and said, "I was wondering why he suddenly left the hotel to find a prostitute when everything was fine. It turns out it's because of the wine you made. Since this is your doing, you must take responsibility for resolving the situation."

  The bottom line is that detention can be waived, but fines must be punished in accordance with the requirements of the Public Security Regulations, and it cannot affect the county's investment promotion work. If this Jamesson makes any trouble in the next project negotiation because of this matter, I will settle accounts with you!

  "Yes! Yang Jie guarantees that he will complete the task entrusted by Secretary with reason, benefit and integrity! He will never hold back the county's investment promotion work!" Yang Jie stood up straight, looking at Zhou Dalong solemnly.

  "No! Something's not right!" Lei Shuping sat silently on the sofa, listening to Yang Jie's account, and always felt that something was off. "Yang Jie brought up the Zhuangyang wine incident, only a few people knew about it, and Jamison suddenly had an unexpected outing to find a girl, how did they make arrangements in advance?"

  Zhou Dalong is a military man, a veteran of battles and bloodshed. He has an extremely rich experience in struggle. Upon hearing Lei Shuping's words, he was taken aback for a moment. "Xiao Jie, how many people know about Jimi sending wine to Jamison?"

  "Because it was Jimmy's sudden idea, not many people knew about it. Only five of us knew: me, my dad, my little uncle, Jimmy and Secretary Lei's driver. After Luo Lun got the wine, he probably knew too." Yang Jie was also extremely clever and immediately thought of a possibility after hearing Lei Shuping's questioning.

  Obviously, Yang Jie could think of things that Zhou Dalong and Lei Shuping, Chen Yuan had thought of. Yang Jie, Yang Xinhua, Liu Daxing, and Jimi would not have leaked the matter to Zhang Dasen, so only Secretary Lei's driver had this opportunity and possibility.

  Lei Shuping's face was extremely gloomy, his driver had leaked such an important matter to Zhang Daxian's side, which led to the occurrence of this incident. How could he not be furious? The driver was the leader's confidant, and there was nothing more disappointing and infuriating than the betrayal of a confidant.

  "Director Chen, notify the Administrative Affairs Bureau tomorrow and get me a new driver." Lei Shuping suppressed his anger, looked at Chen, took a deep breath, and made this decision in front of Zhou Dalong.

  "Old Lei, since the matter has already happened, getting angry won't help. Let's think about how to handle Jamison's work next!" Zhou Dalong looked at Lei Shuping, whose face was clouded with gloom, and advised him in a gentle tone before waving his hand at Yang Jie, signaling him to hurry up and deal with Jamison's affairs.

  Chen Yuan handed Yang Jie an envelope as he was leaving the office, "Here's your work permit and 500 yuan. The person is still being held at the Public Security Bureau, and news has been blocked. You go pay the fine first and get the person out, we'll talk about other things later!"

  Chen Yuan has already called the county bureau and the Public Security Brigade to inform them that the county committee office will arrange for someone to pick him up immediately. Yang Jie took the work permit that Chen Yuan had processed for him, as well as the 500 yuan fine, and hastily left Zhou Dali's office.
