Chapter 19: Youthful Impetuosity!
"No problem! Let's register!" Lin Man took over the conversation casually, took a notebook from the drawer, threw it on the table, and tapped it with his finger.
This casual gesture made Liang Ge feel insulted. He wanted to hit him, but when he clenched his fist, he noticed Lin Man's expression and could only angrily lower his fist.
"Secretary Lin, your actions don't seem like those of someone preparing to solve a problem!"
After saying that to Lin Man, Liang Ge turned to the group of people behind him: "Don't you all agree?"
His question did not resonate with the people behind him as he had imagined; instead, it caused the group behind him to take two steps back.
The people behind them simply left the village secretary's office.
The reactions of these people brought a smile to Lin Man's face. It's not scary that people come to collect debts; what's scary is that there are people inside stirring up trouble.
With people like this around, even if you agree to take responsibility today, they'll jump out tomorrow and make you pay the money tomorrow.
The only solution is to divide and conquer one faction while simultaneously attacking the other.
The reactions of these people now prove that my words have had an effect.
He picked up his notebook and pen and waved them at the people behind Liang Ge:
Let me put it more clearly.
"To solve the problem, we must first clarify the problem. I need to know exactly how much money Lin Yaozu owes you, when he borrowed it, how he borrowed it, and no one can prove it. We also need to know the agreed interest rate and how much interest has already been paid."
"I know that the police officers have already had you register once, but that was the police's information. That information is currently confidential, so I can't see it or process it. If you are willing to cooperate, then register."
"If they're not willing to cooperate, then let's just block them!"
"Furthermore, let me be more explicit: Lin Yaozu's fabricated red tourism projects were neither planned nor approved."
"The project is illegal!"
"He transferred the illegally raised funds out through illegal projects under the guise of engineering contracting, without bringing any benefits to the village."
"So the village doesn't have to take responsibility!"
"His claim of using the profits of the village collective enterprise as collateral is also illegal!"
"Hongxing Village cannot bear this blame."
"What you can do now is trust the police officers and believe that they can recover the transferred funds."
"After we recover the money, we will refund the amount you actually registered and approved, and we will also need to deduct the interest you have already received!"
"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do!"
"Making a scene won't help. In the end, it's all because you were greedy for small gains and fell for Lin Yaozu's trick!"
After he finished speaking, the group of people blocking the door all turned pale.
Just then, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties pushed through the crowd and stood in front of Lin Man: "So many people are struggling to make ends meet, can't you do something to help them out?"
"A safety net!" Lin nodded, and seeing the smile on the person opposite him, he smiled back, then took out a low-income household application form from a drawer and slammed it on the table:
"reveal all the details!"
"Fill out this form and clearly explain the background. I will conduct a preliminary review, and if you meet the requirements, I will report it to higher authorities."
"Once the town approves it, it will be reported to the relevant department."
"Once you pass the approval process, you'll be eligible for welfare!"
"This is the safety net."
"If you're ashamed to receive welfare payments, we can help you find a job. We're going to be improving the village's sanitation in the coming period, and we need cleaners who will be changing jobs. You can come and apply."
"Only if you're from our village!"
After a few words, the man who had just stepped forward turned red in the face, seemingly very angry.
Gritting his teeth, he pointed at Lin Man: "I'll go to the city government to report this tomorrow!"
Lin Man took out his phone, pressed the complaint hotline for the Discipline Inspection Commission, and put it on the table: "No need, this is the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission's number."
"If you need, I still have the mayor's phone number. You can call the mayor's hotline; it works."
"If you think that's not enough, I also have the direct line to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, which is even more effective."
"After making these three phone calls, there's a high probability I'll be transferred or dismissed."
"As for whether later generations will listen to your rambling, I don't know!"
"Whether the city and province will use this as a model for the whole province to learn from, I have no idea."
The series of words caused the man who had spoken earlier to turn from red to pale. He pointed at Lin Man, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
But he was unwilling to give up, so he spat on the ground, then pushed through the crowd and squeezed out of the village secretary's office.
Lin Manjiang locked the low-income household application form on the table back in the drawer, then pushed the notebook in front of him forward a little more.
"Everyone, line up to register. Don't think about anything else!"
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, one of Liang Ge's underlings quietly leaned close to his ear and gestured with his eyes, "Brother Liang, should we?"
Liang ignored his underling's gaze and pointed to the notebook on the table: "Go register!"
The younger brother was puzzled, but he still stepped forward, picked up a pen, and registered it.
Just as he picked up the pen, Lin Man pointed to Liang Ge beside him: "Who is the lender of funds? Register whose name, ID number, mobile phone number, home address, amount of funds lent, agreed interest rate, time of lending, agreed repayment time, whether it is cash or transfer. If it is transfer, we also need to register the lending account and the receiving account."
Upon hearing this series of requirements, the younger brother decisively gave up on registering and let his older brother do it instead.
Liang Ge's face twitched, and he stepped forward, picked up a pen, and began to register.
As soon as he registered, Lin Man immediately revealed a malicious smile:
"You street hustlers wouldn't be short of 400 million, would you?"
"That's a fucking 400 million in cash!"
"You poor bastard, I thought you had hundreds of millions in cash. You're struggling to make ends meet with just 400 million."
"I'll fucking fight you to the death!"
"If you dare to lay a hand on me, I'm ready to escalate the situation!"
"..." Liang was speechless and could only pick up the pen and honestly register his information.
After registering, he glared at Lin Man again before turning and leaving with his underlings.
With him as an example, the others had no choice but to step forward one by one and register their information, even though they felt helpless.
After the hundreds of people outside had finished registering, it was already 3 p.m. After seeing the last person off, Lin Man stuffed his notebook into his backpack, locked the village secretary's office, and walked out.
As they reached the conference room door, Yang Jian grabbed him and pulled him aside.
"I think I just saw someone livestreaming. Watch your temper; what you said earlier was too youthful and impetuous!"
Lin Man observed Yang Jian for a while, confirming that the other man was worried about him, and then shrugged: "Didn't this situation already go wrong a long time ago?"
"Furthermore, Director Yang, I need to correct you on one point: if a young person isn't spirited, then they can't be called a young person!"
"This matter isn't that complicated, but it's not that simple either. I have some other things to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer, Director Yang."
