Lin Hong sat on the chair in a daze. She had intended to put the recording pen in her handbag, but then she thought about it and put it in her pocket. It was purely an unintentional move. Lin Hong had done the same thing before, and nothing had happened. Lin Hong did not expect that Chen Xing would put his hand in her pocket. Judging from Chen Xing's action, it was not an unintentional move at all. Lin Hong was filled with hatred. Just now, she thought that Chen Xing was interested in her, but now she realized that it was not the case at all.
Lin Hong did not know that Chen Xing had been set up several times and had become extremely vigilant. It was not the first time that Chen Xing had encountered something like a recording pen. Lin Hong had talked so much with him today, and Chen Xing just wanted to see if Lin Hong had done anything secretly. As expected, Lin Hong did not have good intentions.
Xiao Li, go back to the Municipal Government. After Chen Xing went downstairs, he ordered the driver, Li Yong, to drive back directly. Weighing the recording pen in his hand, Chen Xing sneered. He believed that Lin Hong would come to him again.
As the car drove on the street, Chen Xing remembered that he had not had lunch yet. He had not had time to eat in the hotel. He asked Li Yong to find a place with Nanzhou snacks, and they went in to have lunch.
At about one o 'clock, Chen Xing returned to his office. The newspapers on the table were all reports about Song Yi's death in the interrogation room of the Public Security Bureau yesterday. Because the Public Security Bureau had held a press conference in time to report the incident, most of the reports were objective and friendly. There was even a lot of praise for the Municipal Public Security Bureau's open and transparent timely reporting of such a vicious incident. They thought that the functional departments of the government should be like this. If there was a mistake, they should dare to expose it, instead of blindly covering it up and creating conflicts with the people.
There was no doubt that what the Municipal Bureau did yesterday was successful. Most of the media focused on the Municipal Public Security Bureau's open and transparent practice, as well as the immediate punishment given to the policemen involved. They also promised to investigate the incident.
As for Song Yi's death, it was downplayed. Chen Xing did not know if Zhang Qingyang, Li Haocheng, and the others had exerted pressure on the news media through administrative means. However, it was undeniable that the negative reports in the newspapers were not as much as he had imagined. Only a few foreign media outlets raised deeper doubts about Song Yi's death. Some newspapers directly mentioned the group petition that happened at the entrance of the municipal government yesterday morning and pointed out that it was under such circumstances that Song Yi was arrested and brought to the Public Security Bureau.
Chen Xing had browsed through most of the newspapers in the morning. At this time, he did not read them again. He put them aside and sat in silence for a while. He Yijun had also secretly investigated Song Yi's case. As for what Zhang Qingyang would announce next, Chen Xing also wanted to know. He had a very bad impression of Zhang Qingyang. Deep down, Chen Xing believed that Zhang Qingyang had something to do with Song Yi's incident. It was not normal for the two policemen involved to interrogate Song Yi for an entire night. Without the instructions from the higher-ups, Chen Xing did not believe that the two ordinary policemen would do this.
There was a knock on the office door. Chen Xing shouted to come in. It was Xiao Yuanqing. Xiao Yuanqing, who had just been transferred to the Municipal Government office for a few days, did not go back to rest at noon every day. Instead, he had his meals in the canteen of the Municipal Government. In the afternoon, he only rested in the office for a while and spent most of his time working. Xiao Yuanqing, who had been promoted by Chen Xing, undoubtedly cherished this opportunity. He worked hard and never let Chen Xing down.
Mayor, this was sent to the city by the Nangang District Health Bureau at noon. You happened to be away at that time, so they did not send it over. Xiao Yuanqing placed a document on Chen Xing's desk. The document contained the statistics of cancer patients over the years in Da Tou Village and its surrounding areas in Nangang District.
Chen Xing nodded and took over the document. Yesterday afternoon, he did not have the opportunity to investigate the situation in Da Tou Village. However, he had informed the Nangang District Health Bureau to collect the statistics of cancer patients over the years in Da Tou Village and its surrounding areas. The efficiency of the District Health Bureau was quite high.
Looking at the document carefully, Chen Xing's face tightened. Seven years ago, before the petrochemical industry district was established, there were only one or two cancer patients in Da Tou Village. Moreover, they were all elderly people in their sixties or seventies. In the past seven years, the proportion of cancer patients had been increasing year by year.
At this time, Xiao Yuanqing had not left yet. Chen Xing's words were undoubtedly directed at Xiao Yuanqing. Xiao Yuanqing smiled bitterly and said. It was indeed a bit shocking. Da Tou Village only had a population of more than 3,000, but the proportion of cancer patients was as high as one to one. There were more than 200 cancer patients in the village, and the proportion was still increasing. Moreover, there might be some latent cancer patients that had not been detected.
Chen Xing remained silent with a sullen face. The information submitted by the Nangang District Health Bureau was quite detailed, and it was precisely because it was so detailed that Chen Xing's mood became heavier after reading it. Last year, 25 villagers in Big Head Village had passed away. Five of them were elderly people, which were considered normal deaths due to birth, old age, sickness, and illness. The other 20 all died of cancer, the oldest of which was only 55 years old. This year, so far, 23 villagers in Big Head Village had died of cancer, and there were even several families holding funerals at the same time.
This year's death statistics did not include those cancer patients who were in the late stage and on the verge of death. Xiao Yuanqing said with a heavy heart.
Yesterday, the villagers said there was no hope. They were not wrong at all. That place was not a place for people to live. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a village of death. Chen Xing sighed. This was only the situation in Da Tou Village. According to the statistics from the Nangang District Health Bureau, the situation in the villages around Da Tou Village was also similar. However, it was not as serious. In recent years, the cancer rate had been increasing year by year. It involved more than 10,000 people, so this problem had to be taken seriously.
The petrochemical zone is one of the key areas in Nanzhou City's 11th Five-Year Plan. The industrial zone has been approved by the provincial government. The city also attaches great importance to it. With the continuous expansion of the industrial zone and the arrival of large chemical enterprises, the provincial government has also begun to pay more attention to it. They intend to build a petrochemical industry chain in Nanhai Province on the basis of the Nanzhou petrochemical zone. According to the provincial plan, it will be a petrochemical zone with an annual output of 100 billion. Not only will it have a profound impact on the city, but it will also be of great significance to the province. Xiao Yuanqing talked about the situation in the petrochemical zone. It seemed like it had nothing to do with the cancer village that was being discussed, but it was actually the root of the problem. Xiao Yuanqing undoubtedly wanted to tell Chen Xing that the petrochemical zone could not be touched. Otherwise, they would face pressure from both the provincial and provincial levels.
The petrochemical industry was a highly polluting industry. It was not that it could not be done, but before a petrochemical project could be built, it had to go through a strict environmental assessment. After the enterprise started, the follow-up environmental monitoring could not be sloppy. Nanzhou City did not really pay attention to it. Chen Xing frowned. He was not a rigid person. He did not think that this kind of highly polluting enterprise could not be built. If he saw something bad, then he would completely deny it. That kind of attitude was undoubtedly wrong. It could only be said that he gave up eating for fear of choking. But for a highly polluting enterprise like the petrochemical industry, pollution control was definitely the most important issue. If the pollution could not be controlled to an acceptable level, and there was no impact on the environment and people, then it was better not to go.
At present, some enterprises in the industrial zone did not strictly control their pollution emissions. Over a long period of time, it had led to such a bad result. To solve the problem of Big Head Village, apart from establishing a cancer prevention and treatment system, they also had to deal with the root of the problem. Some of the industrial zone's emissions did not meet the standards had to be resolutely ordered to rectify. Otherwise, it would only be treating the symptoms and not the root of the problem. Xiao Yuanqing said.
You are right. Controlling pollution is the root of the problem. Otherwise, it would only be treating the symptoms and not the root. Chen Xing deeply agreed with Xiao Yuanqing's words.
Xiao Yuanqing stood for a while. Seeing that Chen Xing did not ask him any more questions, he planned to leave. Before leaving, he thought of Song Yi and said, "Mayor, in the afternoon, the teachers and staff of the Capital University will come to Nanzhou to find out about Song Yi. Do you think the city should send someone to receive them, or only the people from the Education Bureau?
Yes, in the afternoon, you go to the airport to pick them up and represent me and the Municipal Government. Our city cannot be impolite. " Chen Xing nodded.
OK, I will go in the afternoon. Xiao Yuanqing was stunned, then nodded. He knew that Chen Xing was giving him such a task because he valued him more.
After Xiao Yuanqing left, Chen Xing looked at the information he had just finished reading. It was no longer a few pieces of paper with numbers in his hand, but a heavy responsibility.
His phone rang. Seeing that it was Lin Hong calling, Chen Xing's attention was diverted. He did not press the call, but picked it up with a sneer.
Mayor Chen, it's me. On the other end of the phone, Lin Hong took a deep breath. After struggling with herself for nearly an hour, Lin Hong decided to call Chen Xing again. She had to admit that Chen Xing's cautiousness was beyond her expectation. This kind of thing had been tried and tested when she dealt with officials before, and never had an official been so vigilant. Sometimes, she casually put the recording pen in her small handbag, and sometimes, she directly put it in the pocket of her trousers. The recording pen she bought was like a pen, which could not be distinguished if one did not pay attention to it. Once, when it fell out, everyone on the scene thought it was a pen, so no one paid attention to it at all. This also made Lin Hong more and more careless. She did not expect that she would fall into Chen Xing's trap today. She went for wool and came home shorn.
As for whether Lin Hong did this with malice or not, it could not be said that Lin Hong had the idea of harming Chen Xing in advance. She did this only to save herself a little capital to protect herself. Zheng Guangfu took things by force and made use of violent and bloody means to accumulate capital. She also used the protection of power to quickly accumulate some money. Without the protection of Li Haocheng, she would not be where she was today. Without the advantage of government resources through Li Haocheng, Lin Hong could not have accumulated a wealth of one or two hundred million in just a few years.
Therefore, in essence, there was no difference between Lin Hong and Zheng Guangfu. Both of them were doing evil things. The only difference was that Zheng Guangfu's means were too violent in the early stage. As for many of Zheng Guangfu's shady businesses, she was no exception. Her investment consulting company also carried out illegal activities in a glamorous way, which also made Lin Hong feel insecure.
Lin Hong urgently needed to have her own business so that she could become a real industrialist, instead of relying on the investment consulting company that could only be regarded as a shell company to continue to accumulate wealth. She was not willing to be ordinary, nor did she want to make such a small fortune. Lin Hong also wanted to become a real industrialist, so she wanted to take over Jin Du Hotel by force. However, because of Huang Ming's involvement, her plan was disrupted. In consideration of Chen Xing, Lin Hong did not dare to do anything to Huang Ming. This also forced Lin Hong to gradually give up on Jin Du Hotel and set her eyes on other prey.
Perhaps Zheng Guangfu would never have thought that she would have such great ambitions. She even wanted to take over his business. However, there was no doubt that both he and Lin Hong were people who believed in the dogma that those who were bold would starve to death. They were essentially the same kind of people, but Lin Hong's courage was beyond Zheng Guangfu's imagination.
The ultimate purpose of Lin Hong's trick to Chen Xing today was to save her life in the future, and also to give her another choice in the future. In particular, the path she took was to betray Li Haocheng. Lin Hong had to prepare another amulet for herself. She knew better than anyone else that all the halos on her head came from Li Haocheng. Without Li Haocheng, she was nothing. There were definitely a lot of people who wanted to settle accounts with her. If they wanted to settle accounts with her in the past few years, it was absolutely not a problem to sentence her to life imprisonment.
Mayor Chen, I was just joking with you today. I hope Mayor Chen will not take it to heart. Seeing that Chen Xing did not speak, Lin Hong took the initiative to laugh.
