"I agreed to give the other party money, but Director Qin refused, which led to the escalation of the situation!" Chen Caihong gritted her teeth and said.
"If simple concessions and compromises are the methods for handling issues, I believe I could manage that too!" He Hongmei pressed down on the microphone. "But have you considered what would happen if this performance team demands money and the other two teams also make similar requests? Would you just throw money at it? Do you realize how much more we would have to pay if that happens? It would be over one million yuan!"
Chen Caihong stammered, "If they really refuse to perform, who will bear the serious consequences?"
He Hongmei replied, "For this situation, Director Qin has already prepared multiple contingency plans. First, we bet that their demand for money is an unspoken rule that won't come to light. Second, when Director Qin negotiated with them, he brought along reporters from Entertainment Report; if they dare to refuse to perform, we can ruin their reputation. Third, we organized performance teams from various townships that can step in at any time; it's just that none of them are stars.
The reality is that under Director Qin's efforts, the other party compromised."
"Let's not discuss this matter anymore; it hasn't caused serious consequences anyway. Let's talk about the next incident involving external friends; the impact is simply too severe!" Wu Youshun's first shot fell flat as he shifted the topic.
At the main table, Li Honghai and Gau Songshan turned their attention to this female Deputy Township Head who dared to confront the Executive Deputy County Magistrate without following conventional norms.
He Hongmei looked at Wu Youshun with disdain: "Deputy County Magistrate Wu, are you sure you want me to continue?"
Wu Youshun hesitated slightly and said, "Such a big issue shouldn't we discuss it in detail?"
He Hongmei's expression hardened: "Alright then, I will speak! To successfully organize this arts festival, Secretary Wan and Village Chief Jian discussed a lot. Secretary Wan suggested purchasing several mini cameras and arranging for staff from the cultural station and Party and government office to record the highlights during the festival.
I was fortunate enough to arrive at the scene immediately when villagers clashed with Japanese merchants and recorded the entire process with my camera: how Tao Anmin handled it, how the Japanese personnel behaved, and what happened after Bureau Peng and you arrived. I have a complete record of everything: the most severe moments of conflict, the reasons for the intense clashes between police and villagers, and how Comrade Qin Chizian hurriedly came to successfully mediate...
Originally, these recordings were just for archiving purposes. Since leaders have brought up this matter, I believe facts speak louder than words. Would you like to take a look? I can pull out the tape and play it here so everyone can evaluate where the problem lies?"
After speaking, He Hongmei fixed her almond-shaped eyes on Wu Youshun, waiting for his response.
Wu Youshun was stunned; he knew Peng Guoan wouldn't dare reveal the truth. If Peng Guoan didn't speak up, others in lower positions wouldn't be believed either. However, he never expected that a mere Deputy Township Head would stand up for the Deputy Director of the Party and Government Office and openly challenge him. It wasn't just a challenge he feared; he didn't expect she had evidence.
If this got out, his reputation would be irreparably damaged...
Thinking of this, Wu Youshun found himself at a loss for words.
At the main table, Gau Songshan and Li Honghai were both people-oriented individuals who could tell from Wu Youshun's expression that he had already lost.
Li Honghai was about to speak when He Hongmei pressed on relentlessly: "Deputy County Magistrate Wu must have no objections; our conference room has a large television. I'll connect my camera now so we can watch a live broadcast."
As she spoke, she took out her equipment from her bag and addressed Qin Chizian: "Deputy Director Qin, didn't reporters from Entertainment Report also record content? There’s footage of Director Chen Caihong's performance as well; please give me that video so I can report it here."
Deputy Magistrate He interjected: "There's no need to play the video." A voice drew everyone's attention.
