Chapter 2642 Kicking the ball

Tang Shaoying said calmly, "Currently, the reputation of the Chaojiang region, especially Jiangtou City, is almost bankrupt. If the province doesn't take measures to save it, our losses will only be greater."

"Eastern Guangdong is the strongest province in China economically, with enormous potential for economic development. The three cities in Chaojiang are definitely not the only ones capable of retaining foreign investors. We cannot abandon this great opportunity for economic development simply because of mistakes made by a certain individual or company in Chaojiang."

Tang Shaoying's speech was beautiful, but her intentions were vicious.

Sun Hai and Yang Qinghe are unwilling to compete with Liu Fusheng for foreign investment in Chaojiang area, so I will invite foreign investors to Pengcheng and Yangcheng and put them in your mouths to see whether you will eat them or not.

As long as this matter is finalized, even if the foreign investors are not retained, Sun Hai and Yang Qinghe will be put on the fire.

Liu Bo, standing nearby, echoed, "What Tang Sheng said is absolutely right. I missed out on the opportunity to receive foreign investors due to work, but I still hope that other sister cities in the province can retain foreign investment and achieve better development. After all, the entire province is a chessboard. Director Sun, Deputy Mayor Yang, you must shoulder your responsibilities and be brave enough to do so."

The timing of his intervention was just right, and Tang Shaoying was ready to finalize the matter right away.

At this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open and Liu Fusheng stepped into the room.

When he was at the door, he had already heard Liu Bo's words and based on this, he judged what everyone had talked about.

Therefore, Liu Fusheng said with a smile: "Comrades, I'm sorry I'm late. I just listened to Comrade Liu Bo's speech, and it seems very reasonable. However, the whole province is a chessboard, and sister cities help each other. There should also be a first-come, first-served principle, right? The foreign business delegation hasn't even completed their visit to the three cities of Chaojiang, and the investment matters haven't been settled yet. Is anyone rushing to draw conclusions?"

Sun Hai and Yang Qinghe were cheered up when they heard this, Liu Bo's smile froze on his face, and even Tang Shaoying narrowed his eyes slightly.

Liu Fusheng walked into the room, and with just one sentence, he made the aura that Tang Shaoying had painstakingly created disappear into thin air.

He sat in his seat, looked at Liu Bo, and continued, "I want to ask Comrade Liu Bo something. You weren't involved in Jiangtou City's foreign reception work in the later stages. How do you know that Jiangtou City missed out on foreign investment? On what basis did you come to this conclusion?"

"I, I am the first secretary of Jiangtou City, so I naturally have the authority to know the relevant situation."

Liu Bo relied on Tang Shaoying to be beside him and said with his neck stiff.

Liu Fusheng said with a smile, "When I held a working meeting with the reception team, I repeatedly emphasized that foreign investment intentions must be kept strictly confidential. This is to prevent the federal government from interfering. I wonder which comrade dared to disclose relevant information to you despite the ban?"

"Uh."

Liu Bo's eyes flickered and he was a little confused about what to say.

He did not receive any report and knew the result only because he was one of the instigators of sabotaging investment attraction.

Seeing Liu Bo hesitating, Liu Fusheng's face suddenly darkened. "Comrade Liu Bo, you are the secretary of Jiangtou City. Your words and actions represent not only yourself, but also the image of the entire Jiangtou City. Failure to report something when you know it is a violation of discipline, and fabricating rumors is illegal!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bo trembled all over and his face turned pale.

Seeing this, Tang Shaoying immediately coughed and said, "Comrade Fusheng, don't get excited. I think Comrade Liu Bo just made a slip of the tongue. I called you to a meeting today, and the main topic is not this... Since you're here, let's discuss business first."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Provincial Tang, I know we're discussing the Cole case today, so that's why you're angry. We've discussed this matter individually before, and I even went to the Provincial High Court to see Dean Wei. I never thought things would turn out like this."

At this point, Liu Fusheng looked at Wei Chunlin and said, "President Wei, what exactly do you mean by the High Court?"

Wei Chunlin didn't expect Liu Fusheng to be the first to ask him. He grinned and said, "Vice Governor Liu, I sent the Kerr case directly to the Jiangtou City Intermediate Court. After the case was transferred to the local court, our Provincial High Court will no longer be involved. Like you, I only learned about Kerr's victory through the media."

This guy kicked the ball to Gao Shicai of Jiangtou City Intermediate People's Court.

Gao Shicai said, "President Wei is right, but our Intermediate Court is just following normal trial procedures."

"Normal?" Liu Fusheng looked at him sideways.

Gao Shicai said hurriedly, "I understand what Liu Sheng meant. The efficiency of this trial is indeed much higher than normal. However, this is the intention of Secretary Liu of the Municipal Party Committee. He asked us to prioritize the overall situation and handle special matters with special care. He also issued written procedures."

Liu Fusheng nodded and his gaze returned to Liu Bo: "So, Secretary Liu, do you think I should question you?"

"..."

Liu Bo's heart trembled and he didn't dare to answer at all. At this time, he finally realized that something seemed to be wrong.

Wei Chunlin passed the buck to Gao Shicai, and Gao Shicai turned the blame onto himself. Wouldn't he become the scapegoat?

Liu Bo couldn't help but look at Tang Shaoying.

Tang Shaoying said calmly, "I understand Comrade Liu Bo's approach. He wasn't part of the reception team at the time, but he also wanted to contribute to Jiangtou City's investment attraction efforts. So, when he learned that the Municipal Intermediate Court had accepted Kerr's case, he urged them to make a ruling as quickly as possible. He probably didn't expect Fuyun Network to lose the case."

Regardless of whether you are prepared or not, you must treat Liu Bo as a pawn and do the necessary superficial work.

If Tang Shaoying did not come forward to protect Liu Bo, the initiative of this meeting would be completely handed over to Liu Fusheng.

Liu Fusheng nodded and echoed Tang Shaoying, "Indeed, I never imagined that Fuyun Network would lose the case. After all, Kerr has already committed fraud against Fuyun Network. I don't understand why the Municipal Intermediate Court ruled in favor of Kerr."

Gao Shicai was well prepared for this. He said seriously, "I can answer Vice Governor Liu's questions. First, our Municipal Intermediate Court follows the law and relies on evidence. Kerr has provided sufficient evidence for this lawsuit. Second, the leaders also know that Secretary Liu asked us to close the case as soon as possible."

"If Fuyun Network believes the verdict is unreasonable, they can appeal to the provincial high court. In fact, they have already chosen to do so after the verdict was announced."

"If it is ultimately determined that it was a mistake on our part, I am willing to accept the organization's punishment."

Gao Shicai's words cover all aspects.
