When Peter returned to the village, Seth Nelson finally figured out the situation. He never expected that his attempt to deal with Peter would cause such a big commotion in Fruitful Village.

At that time, the Town Party Committee meeting was also taking place. Bruce Richardson, sitting there, glanced at everyone and said loudly, "As I’ve mentioned, the county is taking the Fruitful Village project very seriously. It’s under my charge, and the town must prioritize Fruitful Village’s poverty alleviation efforts. We must provide manpower and funds as needed to ensure the success of this initiative."

Seth said, "Bruce, although Peter has done some work, his undisciplined behavior still needs to be addressed. This time he bypassed our town to contact the county authorities directly. That’s a disrespect to our town’s leadership. Everyone, let’s discuss whether we should discipline him. Without consequences, if everyone starts acting this way, wouldn’t it be chaos?"

Bruce said with a smile, "Who said he bypassed the town? Comrade Peter Brown has always been in touch with me. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to initiate these two projects. I think not only should we not discipline him, but he should also be commended."

This was the first face-off between the two men. The leaders were all startled as this was unprecedented.

Seth was a local power broker, and Bruce was an official from outside. Hadn’t Bruce always yielded to Seth? What happened today?

The conference room suddenly became quiet, and everyone started feeling uneasy, unsure of what might happen next.

Seth spoke solemnly, "Look, Peter is just an employee, yet after the shareholding company was established, he ended up owning so many shares. Is that the behavior of a cadre?"

The room buzzed with disapproval at his words. Who in the town hadn’t used development projects to buy into some investments? It was just that their profits weren’t high, and now Seth was making an issue out of it.

"Seth, the shareholding issue was decided within the village by the village assembly. Nobody can really object to that, can they?"

"Anyway, I believe that Peter is undisciplined and must be dealt with. Let’s vote by raising hands," Seth insisted.
