Hearing Wentao's call, Liu Jianquan quickly responded: "Yes, Mayor!" His voice was loud and firm, indicating that he would fully cooperate.

Wentao's face darkened and he shouted loudly and seriously, hoping to calm the storm.

However, despite his tough attitude, the movement below did not completely stop.

At this time, a dark-faced young man spoke again. He said fearlessly: "You officials only bully us ordinary people. Even if you are put in the detention room, what does it matter? I am not afraid!"

Wentao sneered in his heart, because he knew that this young man was definitely not a worker in the factory.

He had asked Li Hu to check the list of laid-off workers. Li Hu just told him that there were no workers under the age of 40 on the list.

Therefore, he had already determined that this young man was one of the instigators of this mass gathering! Thinking of this, Wen Tao suddenly shouted: "Liu Jianquan, arrest him and bring him here!"

Upon hearing Wentao's order, Liu Jianquan and two other police officers rushed forward and restrained the dark-skinned young man. The young man struggled desperately, shouting, "They're beating me! The police are beating me! The officials are beating me!"

However, Wentao was not affected by the young man's words. He grabbed the young man's arm and shouted to the workers around him: "Comrades, look, is this your coworker?"

The workers looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know him.

Someone asked, "Which section is this from? Why don't I know him?" Another person chimed in, "Yeah, who is this?"

Voices kept coming from the crowd, saying that they didn't know the young man.

"Take him away for a thorough investigation!" Wen Tao shouted loudly at Liu Jianquan.

There must be something fishy going on! Wen Tao thought to himself, how could it be such a coincidence that a mass "petition" took place on his first day in office?

"Comrades, I am Wentao, the newly appointed mayor of Longwan Town. I am familiar with everyone's situation and demands! Now that I have come to Longwan Town as the mayor, I have the confidence and ability to resolve this matter for everyone. Please give me three months and don't come to the town government to make trouble again. When the three months are up, you can come to collect your money at the same place as today!" Wentao said to the masses with a firm look, a sincere tone and full of confidence.

If you owe money to workers, you still have to pay it. This is only natural.

Wentao had his own plans. He wasn't about to leave this "hot potato" to the next mayor, leaving them with further headaches. He was determined to resolve the issue once and for all and give Longwan Town a brand new look.

"The previous leader said so. What will happen if you officials just leave when the time is up?" "Three months is too long!" Some laid-off employees shook their heads when they heard Wentao's words.

Wentao looked at the crowd in front of him, feeling helpless and anxious. He was well aware of the concerns and dissatisfaction of these laid-off employees, but he also knew that solving this problem would not be easy.

"The money we owe you is not a small amount, and the town has to find a way to solve it!" Wen Tao raised his voice, trying to make his voice more convincing.

"Also, let me reassure you all. In front of all these government officials and laid-off workers, I, Wentao, as the mayor of Longwan Town, hereby issue a 'military order': if you can't come up with the money within three months, I, the mayor, will resign!"

Wentao's words were so powerful that they moved everyone present. They felt his determination and sincerity, and saw the firmness in his eyes.

Wen Tao then added, "Also, I will revitalize our town's egg-laying chicken farm. You are all excellent employees of the egg-laying chicken farm. If anyone doesn't want the salary anymore and wants to continue working in the factory, our town will give you priority!"
