Chapter 95 The construction of the Haishi Port is imminent, but initial obstacles have been encounte
The summer winds in W city can be quite oppressive, and the air at night is filled with the smoky aroma of grilled meat skewers.
Jiang Chengcheng walked alone on the steps leading home, the sounds of cicadas and birds constantly filling her ears.
Because of what had happened before, Jiang Chengcheng hadn't eaten much. Just as she was succumbing to the temptation of the barbecue skewers and considering whether to have another meal, her cell phone rang again.
"There's just no peace and quiet these days." Jiang Chengcheng glanced at her phone screen; it was a call from Ning Qier, who was currently far away in Haishi.
Considering her personality, she probably wouldn't call unless something serious had happened that she couldn't handle.
Sure enough, Ning Qier's anxious voice came through the phone after it was connected.
"President Jiang, there's been some trouble with the port development here. The villagers in the nearby fishing villages are saying they're afraid it will affect their fisheries and are absolutely against the development!"
"Huh? What does that mean?" Jiang Chengcheng was a little confused when she heard Ning Qier's words. She recognized each word individually, but she didn't understand them when put together!
What does it mean to affect fisheries?
Ports, ah! Aren't they meant to promote the development of the fishing industry?
It is important to know that ports not only have disaster reduction capabilities and modern equipment, but also effectively alleviate the increasingly tight area of sheltered waters, the insufficient number of fish unloading berths, and the inadequate loading, unloading and supply capacity of fisheries, and can better protect the lives and property of nearby fishermen!
Even if it has some environmental impact on the surrounding area, as long as it is properly managed, the benefits to the development of the fishery will definitely outweigh the drawbacks!
Although Jiang Chengcheng knew about the fishermen's situation before, she did not consider it an obstacle to the port construction. In her opinion, why would they obstruct something that would benefit the development of the fishing village?
However, Jiang Chengcheng underestimated their thought process. She felt that her most urgent task was not to appease them by providing housing subsidies, but to spend money to give their entire village a knowledge class!
However, that's one thing, but we still need to understand the specific situation.
"Has the authorities not stepped in to reassure us?" Jiang Chengcheng asked the question that had been bothering her the most. Logically, the authorities should be more anxious than she was, given the state of Shenzhen's port! It's fair to say that the construction of Shanghai's port is imminent.
Every day of delay means a significant financial loss for the authorities, and they absolutely cannot allow the other party to drag this out!
"We've searched! We've searched several times! We've used every trick in the book, from threats to bribes! But those fishermen seem determined to oppose us, and they absolutely refuse to let the construction team start work! They've been sending people there to guard the place every day, even more frequently than when they're fishing! The officials are so anxious they're cursing!" Ning Qi'er got even angrier when she talked about this!
Logically, these fishermen should have listened to their superiors, but for some reason, nothing seemed to work! In short, they wouldn't allow construction!
Hearing Ning Qier's words, Jiang Chengcheng didn't think that this matter was simply a matter of fishermen thinking it affected the fishing industry. Judging from the other party's attitude of risking their lives, it was obvious that someone was behind it all!
I bet those excuses were just made up!
Upon considering this possibility, Jiang Chengcheng frowned inwardly before speaking.
"Could you book me a flight to Haishi for tomorrow? I'll go check on things there."
Regardless of whether someone is behind this or not, Jiang Chengcheng is going to Haishi. She wants to see who dares to touch her pension for the next few decades!
"You two don't need to go this time. Just stay with my parents. I'll be careful," Jiang Cheng said to the two people behind him as if he had just remembered something after finishing the call.
“But…” Xiao Yun was still worried and wanted to say something more, but Zeng Zhan stopped her.
"Don't worry, you also need to be careful. I've already spoken to the higher-ups about sending more people," Zeng Zhan replied.
……
the next day.
After telling her mother Cheng Juan where she was going, Jiang Chengcheng boarded a plane to Haishi. By the time the plane landed, it was around 2 p.m., and Ning Qier was waiting in the airport terminal.
Seeing Jiang Chengcheng dragging her luggage down the street, she waved excitedly to get her attention, and then quickly ran over.
"Boss Jiang, here!"
Upon seeing Ning Qier, Jiang Chengcheng walked over directly, and Ning Qier took her suitcase from her.
The first thing Jiang Chengcheng did after getting off the plane was not to look for the fishermen, but to go straight to Zhao Pengcheng's residence. In her opinion, no one knew the true situation better than him, the top official of W City.
Sure enough, not long after Jiang Chengcheng arrived at Zhao Pengcheng's house, she received important news.
"Someone is stirring things up behind the scenes, and those fishermen are probably being paid off," Zhao Pengcheng said, sitting on the sofa.
He had previously sent people to investigate and found that these fishermen had recently been getting very close to people from the Lu City Group. However, the authorities believed in catching people red-handed, so even if they knew that the Lu family was involved, they couldn't do anything to the Lu Group without evidence.
"Have you found out which company is stirring things up behind the scenes?" Jiang Chengcheng asked, raising an eyebrow at Zhao Pengcheng, who only spoke half of what he wanted to say.
“...It might be the Lu family.” Originally, Zhao Pengcheng didn’t plan to say it, after all, Jiang Chengcheng and Lu Juncheng had a grudge, and he had started investigating this aspect. But after thinking about it, he figured that even if he didn’t say it, Jiang Chengcheng would probably be able to find out by herself.
“It’s him.” Upon hearing the name Lu family, Jiang Chengcheng finally remembered Lu Juncheng, with whom she had a previous conflict, and guessed that this matter was probably related to him.
"Okay, I'll have someone check it out." Jiang Chengcheng got up to leave after hearing Zhao Pengcheng's message.
If it really was Lu Juncheng who did this, once she gathers the evidence, she won't need to do anything else; the authorities will take action against him.
After leaving Zhao Pengcheng's house, Jiang Chengcheng headed to the fishing village that Ning Qier had mentioned.
When the two arrived at the scene, they looked around and saw that almost every few dozen meters along the coast, a fisherman was sitting on the beach, whether he was scrolling on his phone or sorting his catch, he never left the beach!
……
Seeing this scene, Jiang Chengcheng was at a loss for words.
Judging from their relaxed demeanor, Jiang Chengcheng wouldn't believe it if they said no one gave them money to sabotage things behind her back!
"What are you doing! Didn't I say this area isn't for development! Get out of here!"
As soon as Jiang Chengcheng and Ning Qier came into the sight of those people, a fisherman who was closest came over to drive them away.
“I’ve been here twice before, and they both recognized me.” Ning Qi’er whispered to Jiang Chengcheng as she saw the person approaching from a distance.
Jiang Chengcheng didn't say anything after hearing this; instead, she became even more certain that the fishermen had taken the money.
A moment later, the young man walked up to the two of them, still making a gesture as if to drive them away.
Ning Qier was about to step forward to argue with the other party when Jiang Chengcheng raised her hand to stop her.
"I wonder what reasons and status this man has for controlling this area?" If he wants to carry out construction in this area, it's basic procedure to be courteous first and then resort to force.
"Of course! Our ancestors have lived here for generations, eaten here, and used here! This is our home! You want to demolish our home, and we're not allowed to object?" The man's high-sounding words left Jiang Chengcheng speechless. If she remembered correctly, the fishing village was quite a distance from here, wasn't it?
