Director Lancelot didn't want to come at all.
However, he had to come because the day before yesterday, a system was activated on the White House's official website.
The White House once issued a rule that when a citizen's suggestion received more than 100,000 signatures within 30 days, the White House must respond.
As of today, the White House had responded to many citizens' suggestions.
As the number of times increased, it was inevitable that there would be some perfunctory replies.
For example, "We can't comment," "We can only regretfully express our concern," and so on. It was better not to reply.
Of course, there were also many ridiculous suggestions, such as asking the White House to make tofu pudding sweet, asking the government to ban Yanjing's crepes, and so on.
But this time, it was different. The proposal was publicly issued by the famous environmentalist Waldem. Once it was issued, it gathered 100,000 signatures in just half a day.
The content of the topic was very simple. He suggested that the United States send a team to Hua Xia to discuss the introduction of this industrial sewage treatment equipment project.
Waldem was an environmentalist worthy of the American people's respect. He once exposed a multinational company that was wantonly polluting the local environment in Africa. He was shot twice by a capitalist hired gunman and survived the disaster by lying in the hospital for two whole years.
In addition, in just half a day, he broke the record by gathering 100,000 signatures. Mr. President, who had just taken office, could not be perfunctory about this proposal even if he had a hundred thousand reluctance in his heart.
In order to appease the anger of the public, and also to win a reputation for his newly taken office.
Mr. President ordered the Environmental Protection Bureau Director Lancelot, who had caused trouble, to be kicked to Hua Xia.
Yesterday, the White House sent a note to Hua Xia's Department of Environmental Protection through official channels, requesting a high-level visit.
Hua Xia naturally had no reason to refute and could only do a good job of reception.
That's right, Mr. President decided to go through official channels to exert pressure on Monster Heavy Industries.
Hua Xia time, Tuesday, three o 'clock in the afternoon.
Director Lancelot took a chartered flight to Hua Xia Capital Airport. After a standard reception ceremony, Director Lancelot and his entourage carried the flag of visiting Hua Xia's environmental protection industry and came to Hua Xia's Department of Environmental Protection for a friendly visit.
In the reception hall of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, a huge landscape painting of Guilin hung horizontally on the white marble wall. Director Lancelot and the leader of the Ministry of Environmental Protection sat on ring-shaped chairs under a beautiful landscape painting. The entourage of the United States and Hua Xia sat on either side.
Opposite them was a special correspondent from Hua Xia News Channel. The visit of the head of the US Environmental Protection Agency was a rather important diplomatic matter, so of course, it had to be reported on the news.
"Mr. Lancelot, please forgive our lack of hospitality." Fang Wenshu, the leader of the Ministry of Environmental Protection who was responsible for receiving him, kindly held Lancelot's palm and said with a smile in Mandarin, "You came so suddenly this time that we don't have many projects for you to visit."
"You are too polite. From the moment I stepped into the airport, your enthusiasm has always been with me." Lancelot, who came to visit, straightened his body and put on a smile for the reporters to take photos.
"Mr. Wenshu, the friendship between Hua Xia and the United States goes back to ancient times. Since 1995, when we both joined the United Nations Conference on Global Environmental Issues, we have always held the same goal on environmental protection. "
"This time, I took the liberty to come here because your country has made shocking achievements in environmental protection!"
After taking the photos, Lancelot relaxed, leaned slightly on the soft silk sofa, and patted the back of Fang Wenshu's hand with a blessing: "Your country doesn't need to prepare. Our two countries have had many exchanges on environmental protection."
"This time, we mainly want to know about your country's gratifying results in industrial sewage treatment."
I knew you came for this.
Fang Wenshu couldn't help but curse in his heart. These guys came really quickly. Usually, official visits were more than a month in advance, but this time it was faster than going abroad for a vacation. The note flew in the second day.
Thinking like this in his heart, Fang Wenshu's smile was impeccable: "No, no, no, this is not our credit. Presumably, Mr. Lancelot already knows that this gratifying result was created by the famous Monster Heavy Industries of Hua Xia. "
"Eh …" Lancelot pretended to be curious: "So it's Monster Heavy Industries. Our president also likes their products very much."
"Mr. Wenshu, can you arrange for us to visit this company?"
"And that sewage treatment plant. Mr. Wenshu, you don't know, in the United States, this sewage treatment plant is more famous than Superstar."
"As you wish." Fang Wenshu couldn't refuse this proposal.
…
The news that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's delegation was coming to Zhongyun for a visit was conveyed through official channels layer by layer.
This speed was very fast, so fast that the leaders of Zhongyun City were caught off guard.
"What, the director of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is coming to Zhongyun for a visit?"
At three o 'clock in the afternoon, the director of the Zhongyun Environmental Protection Agency, Ma Xinyu, looked as if she had seen a ghost.
"They're coming tomorrow?"
"Mayor, the date isn't wrong, right?" Director Ma Xinyu was very surprised: "According to the usual practice, the higher-ups' visits are notified a month in advance. This time, it's the head of a heavyweight department in the United States. If they come tomorrow, we can't organize the manpower at all, and we don't have time to prepare for the reception work. "
"I also suddenly received the notice. The order is not wrong. The delegation will come tomorrow morning." Zhongyun Mayor Xia Yuming sat at the conference table and pinched his eyebrows with a headache: "The higher-ups will understand the lack of time."
"We have to work hard these two days. We have to put in 120% of our effort to complete this mission."
"Since we don't have enough time, then strive to use the rest of the time on the edge of the blade."
Mayor Xia Yuming began to arrange the reception tasks: "The National Parks Bureau will be responsible for the road cleaning work on the tour route of the U.S. delegation. The airport will immediately set up a unique reception room and let us welcome the director together. "
"Also, send someone to inform the director of the U.S. of the places he wants to visit. Be sure to do it perfectly."
"And …"
…..
"What?"
"You mean, the guy named Lancelot from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency wants to visit our Monster Heavy Industries?"
In the CEO's office of the Blue Sky Building, Ye Qing, who was looking at the mobile phone sales report from yesterday, also looked at the government staff member as if he had seen a ghost.
"Mr. Ye, when tomorrow comes, you must not call them 'this guy' anymore." The staff member smiled apologetically: "Please forgive us, Mr. Ye. We also have no way to refuse their request."
"This guy, he really has the nerve to come!"
"Alright, I will receive them well."
