Chapter 60, Doctor Xu Makes a Grand Entrance
At first, Jin Lingqiang thought someone had come here to play, but seeing the director of the South City Sub-bureau, he was taken aback. Especially upon hearing that Secretary Li had come to inspect the work, he became extremely nervous.
In fact, he knew Zhou Jian and had even had meals together. He could talk to him because the influence of Jin Zhuang in South City was well recognized.
However, in front of Secretary Li, the first secretary of Qingyuan, he felt somewhat uneasy.
Without much thought, he quickly greeted Li Zhenfeng and then said, "Thank you, Secretary Li, for caring about the people’s livelihood and coming to South City to inspect the work, but..."
"No need to be nervous, feel free to speak your mind." Li Zhenfeng smiled slightly. Although he appeared dignified and authoritative in front of others, he seemed very approachable to ordinary people.
Jin Lingqiang, holding back his inner tension, said, "The situation by South Lake is extremely complex. I hope Secretary Li can take people back now."
"Jin Lingqiang, what do you mean?" Zhou Jian from the South City Sub-bureau had a gloomy face. "Secretary Li braved the heavy rain to come and inspect the work, hoping to improve the environment of South Lake and make life better for the people of South City. What exactly do you mean by obstructing this?"
The leaders from other departments were also whispering among themselves.
Jin Lingqiang, with a face full of anxiety, said, "I know you’re thinking of us, but I’m also thinking of your safety. Really, you should hurry back. Absolutely no one should go down to the lake, let alone step onto Lake Heart Island."
He really wanted to speak about everything he encountered yesterday, but he feared being accused of promoting superstition.
Zhou Jian, too, became anxious. "Old man, Secretary Li specially invited two masters to manage South Lake. If they don’t go down to the lake, don’t land on the island, how can they manage South Lake properly? You aren’t old yet, why so muddleheaded?"
