After hearing "Go fetch the Buddha at once"-no, wait, "Go get Director Zhou Yi at once"-Secretary Yang dared not delay and hurried out of the meeting room.
Director Zhou had just finished his interview when the news brought by Secretary Yang gave him a shock.
A huge crowd? Carrying banners and looking aggressive?
This already bore the early hallmarks of a mass disturbance. One wrong move, and the consequences would be disastrous!
"Let's go!"
Director Zhou did not hesitate for a moment. He immediately rushed out of the room with his three trusted subordinates.
Concern appeared on Tian Tian's face, and she hurried after them.
Meanwhile, Provincial TV Station reporter Lin Gongzhi looked like a shark that had caught the scent of blood. A delighted, feverish smile spread across her face as she immediately led her crew after them.
Hahaha! Heaven really does have eyes. Here's my chance!
A crowd of more than two hundred people charged into the Changxing Coal Mine Company's office compound, holding banners high.
"The mines must stay open! We need to eat!"
The red lettering on the white banner clearly expressed the crowd's demands. Unfortunately, those demands ran counter to both local government policy and national policy.
Shan Wenxu and the Provincial and Municipal Leaders stood at the second-floor windows, watching the dense crowd below. Their thin police presence offered little sense of security.
"Where are Ma Baojin and Feng Zhihong?" Mayor Shan asked darkly.
Those two had said that morning that they were returning to the township to relay the directives from the meeting on restructuring and closing the coal mines. There had been no word from them since.
"We've reached them. They said they'll be here right away," Deputy Mayor Tang Yingzhong replied anxiously.
Shan Wenxu's expression grew even darker.
*Right away?
