Director Zhou was genuinely startled!
He knew that over the past six months or so, by racking up results and achievements, his reputation in Changtian City had pretty much reached the "respected" level.
But he still hadn't expected a single sentence from him to have such an immediate effect, or even potentially resolve the problem outright.
Something was wrong!
Something was seriously wrong!
It was hardly surprising that the residents facing demolition would listen to his advice, but why had those fellows who had been stirring things up suddenly done a complete about-face and started speaking in his favor?
Zhou Yi even had the strange impression that a few of them were actually extras he had planted himself, only he had developed amnesia and forgotten about them!
He set those questions aside for now. Whatever the reason, he would deal with the situation first.
"Vice Mayor Xie has already told everyone that if you're dissatisfied with any part of the relocation arrangements or compensation, you can negotiate with the developer. If further problems arise, you can also take them directly to the district authorities. Now, please disperse..."
As Director Zhou addressed them again, voices of agreement rose throughout the crowd.
"We'll do as Director Zhou says..."
"We trust Director Zhou. He would never deceive us..."
After that, everyone except the deceased's family dispersed in twos and threes.
Zhou Yi frowned, beckoned Criminal Investigation Detachment Captain Xing Zhaojia over, and whispered a few words to him.
Detachment Captain Xing nodded and immediately assigned several plainclothes officers to slip into the crowd.
Watching the crowd gradually disperse, the police officers maintaining order looked at their director with admiration.
In all of Changtian City, who besides their director could settle a large-scale mass incident with a single sentence? Who else?
