RBCT Chapter 393 You guys have some nerve!
Chapter 393 You guys have some nerve!
David closed the back door.
Sitting in the back, Ye Chu quietly reminded the driver, Lin Yunxing, "Master Lin, don't mind him."
David didn't mean to blame us when he said that.
In official circles, this kind of operation is normal.
"Outside, we need to uphold his authority and cooperate."
David was speaking to the crowd outside.
Director Ye had seen this kind of thing quite often in the provincial capital.
"I understand, but I still have to go outside and keep an eye on things."
There are too many people; I'm afraid there might be bad people in the crowd.
Lin Yunxing called the Xiapu Police Station to report the incident, then immediately got out of the car and stood half a step behind Dawei, looking warily at the surrounding crowd.
When Section Chief Zhang, who was standing at the alley entrance, saw Dawei arrive, he quickly winked at Dawei, signaling him not to get involved personally, fearing that Dawei would get caught up in this kind of trouble and have difficulty extricating himself.
Dawei gave Section Chief Zhang a reassuring look, signaling her not to be afraid.
Immediately afterwards, Dawei arrived at the bank entrance and reached out to help Widow Sun.
His face had a kindness that belied his age, and his eyes held a look of pity for the lonely elderly.
This can't be acted out.
David got out of the car, partly out of a desire for fame, but also out of genuine concern and determination to solve the problem.
"Auntie, what's wrong? Tell me."
I am Chen Dawei, the county head of Yuanshan County.
The ground was dirty and damp.
Let's stand up and talk.
Don't worry, there's a place where reason prevails.
Widow Sun frowned as she looked at Dawei, her heart filled with suspicion.
How could a county magistrate, a high-ranking official, speak to a powerless commoner like her so politely?
She has absolutely no connection with this county magistrate, so why would he help her?
"You, are you really the county magistrate?"
David smiled but did not answer.
The crowd behind him spoke up for him.
"Hey lady, aren't you watching TV?"
"That's right, this is the newly appointed County Chief Chen who was on TV during the meeting."
"Big sister, your luck has turned! County Chief Chen is a good leader who gets things done."
"That's right. The issues of unpaid wages and medical insurance for the employees of Wansheng Stone Factory were all handled by County Chief Chen."
"Yes, yes, I've lived most of my life and I've never seen a county magistrate like this. He really works for us ordinary people. Wansheng Group is such a big company, yet he dares to offend them."
"Yeah, Jiang Xiong and his gang used to be able to walk all over the county town like they owned the place. If it weren't for County Chief Chen coming, they would still be doing the same thing now. But look what happened, that guy's in jail."
"Several polluting enterprises in Wansheng have also been shut down."
"Big sister, listen to County Magistrate Chen, get up."
……
Hearing the people in the county praise him so highly, Dawei felt a warm glow in his heart, but also a heavy weight in his chest.
There are no more lovable people than them.
They remembered it so well and were so grateful for what they had done.
But Director Ye, who was in the car, couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this, because public opinion is a double-edged sword.
They might praise you today, but they could criticize you tomorrow.
If you get close to the people today, it won't work if you distance yourself from them tomorrow. In the future, if they have any problems, they will habitually go to this county magistrate, causing endless trouble.
Surely someone as bright as Dawei wouldn't be unaware of these things?
Unless... he's taking a risky gamble.
Is he planning to spend these past few years building up a good reputation so he can make a clean getaway?
But how are we going to get through these next few years?
Every day, you have to hide and maintain your image. You can't let anyone know if you're not good at all. Otherwise, under the public's attention, even the slightest flaw will be magnified infinitely, and eventually your image will collapse.
Director Ye secretly worried for Dawei.
At this moment, with Dawei's help, Widow Sun had already stood up.
Some people in the crowd actually started clapping. One person took the lead, and many others followed suit. Even those who didn't want to clap joined in.
"County Chief Chen, you must do me justice!"
This bank has cheated me, a lonely old man.
They're refusing to acknowledge the money we deposited here.
That was my old man's hard-earned money, the money he left me for living expenses... Waaaaah...
This is outrageous!
"This is so unfair!"
Discussions arose again among the crowd.
"How could this happen?"
"Who would dare deposit their money in their bank?"
"I can't imagine how desperate this woman must be. I heard she lives alone."
"Damn it, this needs to be explained!"
"Call their leader out."
"Yes, find their manager. Where's the bank manager? The bank manager needs to come out!"
"The bank manager should come out and speak with us!"
……
Everyone's emotions were ignited.
Seeing Widow Sun is, in fact, seeing countless people as weak and helpless as her, including themselves.
They also worry that one day they will become like Sister-in-law Sun, and be bullied by the bank.
While Dawei is around, let's make a scene.
At this moment, everyone in the crowd hoped to see the bank manager come out, issue a public apology, and for Widow Sun to win.
Everyone looked towards the bank entrance.
The security guards blocking the door started to panic.
David naturally knew what everyone present was thinking. Having risen from the bottom, he understood their thoughts best.
If this bank manager had any brains, he wouldn't be out here now.
However, David had to join everyone in denouncing the bank manager.
"Go and call your manager out," Dawei ordered the security guard at the door.
The security guards were in a dilemma, looking at each other, none of them moved.
Lin Yunxing stepped forward, pointed at the security guards, and cursed, "Even the county magistrate can't command you anymore?"
You guys have some nerve.
"Hurry up and go!"
After being yelled at like that, one of the security guards finally couldn't take it anymore and went back to the office upstairs to report it.
At this moment, in the bank manager's office, the director and President Qi were anxiously hiding behind the second-floor window, secretly watching the situation downstairs.
"That's Chen Dawei. Look how imposing he is," the director whispered in President Qi's ear.
"I see. Young people like to show off, want to establish their authority through this kind of thing, and want to get promoted and make money. It's normal—especially for those from rural areas."
"What should we do?"
"You go down and hold the line for a bit, ignore him. I'll contact the leadership here so they can protect us if anything happens."
The director pointed to his chest: "Me?"
"Oh, you mean I have to go?" The bank manager glanced at him impatiently. "If I go and something goes wrong, you're all finished."
Go and block them.
Even a county magistrate needs to maintain his dignity and act reasonably and in accordance with the law; he cannot arrest you without evidence.
"You are safe only because I am here."
Money isn't so easy to come by. This director has done a lot of bad things with the bank manager and has also made a lot of money.
At this point, we have no choice but to go ahead.
The office director reluctantly went downstairs.
Under the watchful eyes of dozens of people at the bank entrance, the short office manager, with his head down, appeared even shorter and more unsightly, and timidly walked up to Dawei.
"County Magistrate Chen..."
