Chapter 365 Excuses
"...It is said that you have been digging here for too long, and it has had a great impact on the desert. Originally, if your excavation was fruitful, we would have a reason to convince the masses, but now there is no fruit, except for some There is nothing but cultural relics... so we are very embarrassed now."

Listening to Xu Peng's words, the smile on Sun Ming's face remained unchanged, as if what Xu Peng said had nothing to do with him.

"Mayor, thank you very much! I know that our work has brought you great pressure, but our archaeological work has entered a relatively critical stage today, and breakthroughs may be made at any time, so I hope the city government will do more. Support us."

Sun Ming had already made up his mind, unless Xu Peng directly said that he wanted the project in his hand, or he would pretend to be confused. Anyway, at this age, even if he had nothing, he would still have a thick skin.

Xu Peng's complexion was a little ugly. It turned out that he wanted to say tactfully that Sun Ming could appreciate his hard work and offered to let the project go, but now it seems impossible: he saw Sun Ming's thoughts , understand that unless you tear your face, it is impossible to make progress.

Li Xue has been silent all this time, but seeing this situation, he couldn't bear it any longer.

"Professor Sun, since you can't find anything, in order to appease the anger of the local people, the project should end."

Sun Ming turned his head and glanced at Li Xue, and said with a smile: "Oh? Professor Li, right? After I stop this project, will you take over? When you came here a few days ago, you said that you will take over this project If so, I don’t know if that’s the case?”

"You and I……"

Li Xue made Sun Ming squeeze like this, and he was speechless immediately. He did say such a thing when he came here before, and now he can't deny it.

Xu Peng waved his hand and said, "Professor Sun, it's like this. I wonder if we can stop this project for a while? Let's continue after we straighten out some relationships. This way, it can be less burdensome for us." pressure."

Xu Peng is very smart. He knows that under the current situation, it is impossible for Sun Ming to give up the entire project. If he must force it, everyone may not be able to step down in the end. Instead of doing this, it is better to change the way , is to ask Sun Ming to stop the project first: as long as you stop, you don’t know what year and month it will be when you start again, and you and Li Mingguang can take over this project in other ways. In the end, the goal can still be achieved.

It's just that Xu Peng is very smart, how could Sun Ming be a fool?As soon as he heard what Xu Peng was up to, he immediately shook his head and said, "Mayor Li, as I said just now, the entire excavation has reached a critical stage and a breakthrough may be made at any time. If you stop, you've lost all your work, so I think it's better not to stop - or the consequences will be dire."

Sun Ming is also a master, so it is difficult for Xu Peng to refute what he said.

Xu Peng frowned, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, Sun Ming was pretending to be confused while pretending to understand!

"Professor Sun, in fact, you may not know that the local people have already approached the government, and they will continue to respond if they don't deal with it. If such a thing really happens, we will be quite passive. If the incident gets worse, then we will be held responsible. So, Professor Sun, I hope you can also be considerate."

These few words of Xu Peng's words are relatively serious, which made Sun Ming frowned. Xu Peng has raised the question to a very high level. If someone didn't really come to respond to the situation, then I don't know, and even if there is no Xu Peng, he can be said to be there. Such a thing is easy for Xu Peng.

"Heh... mayor, I still hope you can support us more in this matter."

"Humph!"

Xu Peng suddenly put on a serious face and said: "Professor Sun, you hope we can support you, but you should also support us, the work in our locality is not easy to do, and I am not going to kill this project, But just asking you to stop for a while and continue after the limelight passes, is that not okay? As I said just now, you should also support our work."

Sun Ming smiled wryly in his heart. It is very difficult for Xu Peng to turn around when he said this, and Xu Peng is indeed smart. If he asked him to terminate the entire project directly, or Take the project away from him, and he will have more sufficient reasons when he raises objections, but the problem is that now Xu Peng just wants to suspend it temporarily, "avoid" the limelight, and if he says no, then It will give Xu Peng the opportunity to "make a mess": you don't support our work at all, then we have no way to support your work.

Backed into a corner, this is exactly what Sun Ming felt.

After hesitating for a while, Sun Ming suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a good way to delay: "Mayor Xu, how about this, we have to think about this matter, because there is still a lot of work to do if we want to suspend it. For example, the excavated area may need to be re-buried, which is a time-consuming task, because if it is not handled in this way, the excavated area will be easily damaged by the wind and the sun. .”

Xu Peng was taken aback for a moment, just as it was difficult to find rebuttals for the reasons he gave, what Sun Ming said at this time was also very reasonable, didn't you ask me to stop for a while?It's impossible to just leave the excavated place there like this, right?I have to deal with it, right?
"All right……"

Xu Peng really didn't want to agree, but after thinking about it for a while, he could only nod his head and agree - no way!
"Oh, mayor, we will report to you after we have made a plan, what do you think?"

Xu Peng's eyes narrowed. He is a member of the system, so how could he not know that it would take a long time.

"Professor Sun, we still need to hurry up on this matter! If it drags on, we will be quite passive."

Xu Peng is forcing Sun Ming.

Sun Ming spread his hands and said, "I don't think it's better than this. Let's stop the new excavation. In this way, I think even if the local people have objections to us, they will temporarily get rid of the conflict if they see us stop. Mild. Don't you?"

Xu Peng's face became even more ugly. He found that Sun Ming's statement was very reasonable, and it was difficult to refute it, so unless he directly asked Sun Ming to stop the project by tearing himself apart, he could only watch helplessly. Sun Ming wasted his time.

He became short of breath, and he felt a burst of anger. Under such circumstances, Sun Ming actually played such a trick with him, but what made him even more angry was that he really had no good way to do it.

Torn skin?

This is a method, but it is a method that Xu Peng is not very willing or dare to use.

The simplest reason is that for a university student like Sun Ming, who knows how many connections there are behind him?It is not surprising that I have taught some high-ranking officials when I was a teacher in some training courses.This can also be seen from the fact that Li Mingguang said to himself that many people greeted him.

Therefore, it is doomed that this matter must not be resolved in a strong way: this project belongs to Jiangxia City. If Li Mingguang, as the mayor, must take this project into his hands, no one else has anything to say, Use a gentle method, and if you are strong, you will give others an excuse.

Xu Peng is very clear about this, so at this time, he can only suppress his anger.

"Oh, Professor Sun is right, this method is good, but I still have that opinion, we must hurry up on this matter."

After Xu Peng said this sentence, he left. The current situation is that the words are not speculative, and there is not much point in sitting down.

Looking at the car slowly disappearing into the distance, Sun Ming turned to Liang Bo who was standing beside him and said, "It seems that Li Mingguang has really made up his mind about this matter. If it wasn't for that, he wouldn't have sent Xu Peng."

Liang Bo smiled and said, "So what? Your rhetoric just now is very powerful. Even if they get angry again, there is nothing they can do. We have already agreed to end the work here. We just need time to deal with the aftermath. They If there are still opinions or actions, then the people above us are not vegetarians."

"Ah."

Sun Ming nodded. He needed time to end all the things in front of him. It was a temporary solution that he came up with. Now it seems that this solution is very effective. Otherwise, it would be impossible to overwhelm Xu Peng so much that he doesn't know how to do it well.

"Anyway, we are procrastinating day after day. I hope that kid Fang Ming will be as amazing as he was in Ningdong City, and help Niu Ping find the imperial tomb that is buried somewhere."

There are too many sand dunes like this, and it is easy to cause aesthetic fatigue. However, when Liang Bo looked at the sand dunes in the distance, he looked so intently, as if he was looking at beautiful women instead of sand.He knew that Fang Ming and Niu Ping had already entered the desert early this morning, but he didn't know where they were now.

"Hope it!"

Sun Ming didn't know how long he could last. Li Mingguang was the mayor of a city, and his influence in a place like Jiangxia City was enormous. After Xu Peng went back to report, he would definitely research a new method. People are passive, and the pressure can only increase, and the only way to relieve the pressure is to find the imperial tomb as soon as possible.

But, how easy is this?

Therefore, Sun Ming can only say hope.
