District Mayor Chen Wengui walked in with his men. Seeing Chen Xing's gloomy face, Chen Wengui's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Chen Xing must have misunderstood him, so he quickly walked over with a smile. Mayor Chen, I heard that you came to Big Head Village. I was worried about your safety, so I rushed over with my men.
Comrade Wengui, this is the jurisdiction of your Nangang District. Do you think that the security in your district is bad? Or do you think that the people's place is not safe? Chen Xing stared at Chen Wengui and said in an unfriendly tone.
Mayor Chen, that's not what I meant. Chen Wengui smiled awkwardly as he cursed in his heart. His good intentions were not reciprocated. If he was not worried that Chen Xing might get into an accident, he would not have rushed over in such a hurry. Although he did not get along with Chen Xing, if something happened to Chen Xing in his district, as the district mayor, he would not be able to absolve himself from the blame. That was why he rushed over with the people from the Public Security Bureau. At the end of the day, Chen Wengui's impression of the villagers in Big Head Village had always been linked with the word 'mob'. These villagers would petition for help at the slightest provocation and even dared to go against the riot police. Chen Wengui was also worried about Chen Xing's safety. Otherwise, he could totally pretend that he did not know anything since Chen Xing did not inform the district when he came to Big Head Village in the afternoon.
The reason why Chen Wengui knew that Chen Xing was coming over was because the district had sent someone to keep an eye on him at the main road leading to Big Head Village. On one hand, they could monitor whether the villagers of Big Head Village were organizing any petitions. On the other hand, if any leaders from the city came down without informing the district, the district would be notified in time.
The villagers are all simple and kind people. You can make them leave. Chen Xing pointed at the policemen brought by Chen Wengui and said in an unquestionable tone.
Mayor Chen, I'm afraid this is not a good idea. I know the villagers are good in nature, but with so many of them crowding and bumping into each other, I'm afraid they might hurt you. Chen Wengui hesitated. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that more and more villagers were gathering here. Deep down, he still had a bad impression of the villagers. He really did not think that these villagers had any morals. Deep down, he still looked down on these ordinary people.
Comrade Wen Gui, I am not as delicate as you say. Chen Xing didn't like Chen Wengui at all.
Hearing Chen Xing's words, Chen Wengui angrily asked the people of the District Public Security Bureau to step back. Huang Shixing, the Secretary of the District Political and Legal Committee and the Director of the District Public Security Bureau who came with Chen Wengui, was quite quick-witted at this time. He shouted, "Folks, don't push. Mayor Chen is here. If you want to talk to him, you can have the chance.
Don't push forward. "Huang Shixing's shout attracted Chen Xing's attention. Chen Xing knew Huang Shixing's identity last time, but he didn't pay much attention to Huang Shixing. This time, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
At Huang Shixing's shout, many of the villagers spontaneously stood their ground. No one dared to push forward anymore. Most importantly, Chen Xing had gained the trust of the villagers. No one dared to make a fuss anymore. The current situation made Chen Wengui feel disgusted. He thought to himself that he had worried for nothing. Chen Xing was like a living Bodhisattva in the eyes of the villagers, while he was the villain.
The police had all retreated outside. Chen Xing smiled as he walked towards the villagers, greeting each and every one of them. Fellow villagers, the city is organizing a free physical examination for everyone. Is everyone here yet?
Yes.
You all went.
The villagers responded to Chen Xing's words enthusiastically. No matter how many promises Chen Xing made before, they were not as effective as a practical action. Now the villagers didn't listen to empty words. They only cared about the real benefits in front of them. Since the physical examination was organized for everyone and the patients who were treated in the hospital had been exempted from medical fees, the villagers now chose to believe Chen Xing's words.
The city had asked several big hospitals in the city to hold a coordination meeting to ensure that every patient could receive timely treatment. Don't be discouraged. The disease can't beat us. As long as we actively cooperate with the hospital for treatment, I believe we will gradually get better. Chen Xing said comforting and encouraging words. In fact, everyone knew the truth. Cancer was an incurable disease. Even with the current advanced medical technology, it still couldn't be cured. People who got cancer were usually sentenced to death.
There was still hope for early or middle stage cancer patients to be cured. As long as they could survive five years of relapse, they basically didn't need to worry too much. However, advanced stage cancer patients had almost no hope of survival. Chen Xing learned from the hospital's physical examination report that there were many advanced stage cancer patients in Big Head Village. Those people were almost racing with death. After reading the report, Chen Xing's heart was heavy.
Although the villagers knew that it was an incurable disease, they were still very grateful for the comfort and encouragement from the mayor. These innocent and simple villagers used their simple cheering movements to express their inner excitement. They kept cheering and applauding, and the applause lasted for a long time.
Mayor Chen, we misunderstood you before. Now we know that you are different from other officials. You are really thinking about us. The villagers elected a representative to express their gratitude to Chen Xing, but they also asked a question. Mayor Chen, we all appreciate your concern for us, but we also want to ask you whether the government can solve this pollution problem or not. If the pollution problem is not solved, even if the government provides us with money for treatment, it will still be useless. In the future, more and more people will get sick one after another. Moreover, we also want to ask, our village has been affected by this industrial zone. Now our home is no longer a home. Now many people have proposed that the whole village should move out. But many of us have stayed in the village all our lives, and we don't know what to do if we move out. Some elders have stayed in this place for a long time and don't want to move too far. We don't know what to do. Has the city considered this situation for us? They can't leave so many of us without a place to live.
The expressions of the villagers were very heavy. It was not that they wanted a foot after taking an inch, but that this place was really uninhabitable. In the past, the villagers dug their own wells and used the well water. Now, no one dared to use it. They could only get tap water from the outside. However, it was an indisputable fact that the ecological environment here had been destroyed. The villagers had lived here for generations. Now, they had reached the point where they had to consider moving.
My fellow villagers, the situation you mentioned will be seriously considered by the city. I don't dare to promise you anything, but I will try my best to meet your requirements. The city will hold a meeting to discuss this situation as soon as possible. Chen Xing said seriously.
Chen Xing's words caused another round of cheers from the villagers. After the villagers calmed down, Chen Xing introduced Zhang Ningning and his group. Fellow villagers, these are the comrades of the China Compassion Foundation in Beijing. They heard about the situation of the villagers and specially came to visit you.
Chen Xing introduced Zhang Ningning and his group to the villagers. The villagers were a little stunned for a while. Most of them had lived in the countryside all their lives, so they did not know what the foundation was for. It was not until someone who knew a little bit explained it to them that they understood. At this time, Kong Yuxuan stood up on behalf of the foundation and said that the foundation planned to give red packets to the villagers according to their households. There was no other meaning. It was just a token of the foundation's sincerity. They hoped to provide some help to the villagers within their ability.
At the same time, the foundation also bought some daily necessities. Because they came in a hurry today, the supplies were not delivered yet. They would be delivered tomorrow and distributed to the villagers. Later, the villagers would send a representative to register. After Kong Yuxuan finished speaking, the villagers cheered again.
When Chen Xing heard about the practice of the foundation, Chen Xing, who did not know beforehand, was slightly surprised. He turned to his wife and whispered, "Ningning, can the foundation afford to give them red packets directly?
This is just a little help to the villagers within our ability. It's not a big deal. " Zhang Ningning smiled. In fact, the money was not much. It was only 2,000 yuan per household. It was a token of our sincerity. The main consideration of the foundation was to give greater help to the villagers in terms of treatment. We are contacting several big hospitals in Beijing to see if we can form a medical expert group to come over.
This was good. Beijing's medical level was relatively high. It would be good to let them organize some experts to come over and provide some help in treatment. Chen Xing agreed with the latter. After all, giving money to the villagers was of limited help. But no matter what, as Zhang Ningning said, it was a token of our sincerity.
The people from the foundation were warmly received by the villagers. Chen Xing was fine at the moment. When he turned to see Chen Wengui and Huang Shixing, Chen Xing waved to them and asked Chen Wengui, "Comrade Wengui, is your district still turning a blind eye to the enterprises in the industrial district that need to be rectified?"
Mayor Chen,
"We are also thinking of a way. We are thinking of a way." Chen Wengui tried hard to squeeze a smile.
I think even if you want to go next year, you can't think of a way. " Chen Xing sneered and looked at Huang Shixing. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. "Comrade Shixing, I have a task for you. I don't know if you can complete it."
Mayor Chen, please say it. Huang Shixing was stunned. His eyelids twitched. He did not know what Chen Xing was up to.
"As far as I know, individual enterprises in the industrial district have organized and intended to openly confront the law enforcement department. Did your district branch do nothing?" Chen Xing stared at Huang Shixing. He was undoubtedly talking about the obstruction of the Environmental Protection Bureau's law enforcement.
When Huang Shixing heard Chen Xing's words, his face suddenly became solemn. It turned out that Chen Xing wanted him to arrest people. This made Huang Shixing feel awkward. He quietly glanced at District Chief Chen Wengui. Huang Shixing quickly calculated in his mind. The question that Chen Xing suddenly threw out was not easy for him. If he agreed, he would offend a group of people led by District Party Committee Secretary Zhao Shi Ming and District Chief Chen Wengui to protect the interests of the industrial district. However, if he refused, he would offend Chen Xing. This made Huang Shixing very embarrassed. At this time, Huang Shixing also realized that this was likely to be a test from Chen Xing.
Huang Shixing did not immediately answer Chen Xing's words. He did not know that today's answer would have a great impact on his future. Huang Shixing was now thinking carefully in his heart.
"Mayor Chen, I will listen to your instructions." After thinking for a long time, Huang Shixing suddenly said.
"Well, comrade World Bank, you did not let me down. I hope you can have a better performance in the future." Chen Xing took a deep look at Huang Shixing. Huang Shixing's answer did not let him down. Next, he wanted to see Huang Shixing's actual actions. If Huang Shixing's words matched his actions, then Chen Xing, who lacked manpower, would undoubtedly include Huang Shixing in his observation list.
Huang Shixing responded to Chen Xing's words. Chen Wengui's eyes flickered for a moment, but soon returned to normal. Chen Wengui just glanced at Huang Shixing's face, intentionally or unintentionally, and did not say anything more. Chen Wengui regarded Huang Shixing's response to Chen Xing as a perfunctory answer to Chen Xing. At this time, he did not take it seriously.
"Comrade World Bank, when it comes to the problem of the industrial zone, we must cut the Gordian knot with a knife. Since the enterprise dared to put on a confrontational attitude, then the government agencies must have a tougher attitude, instead of blindly indulging and even secretly colluding with the enterprise." Speaking up to this point, Chen Xing glanced at Chen Wengui. His dissatisfaction with the Nangang District Government was not just a little bit.
"Mayor Chen, later, our bureau will immediately launch an investigation. The senior executives of the enterprise who instigated the workers to gather and resist the law enforcement officers will be arrested in accordance with the law. Huang Shixing nodded. His words attracted Chen Wengui's attention, who frequently looked at Huang Shixing's face. Chen Wengui began to doubt. No wonder Huang Shixing wanted to do it for real?
"Well, I'll wait and see." Chen Xing looked at Huang Shixing for a while and nodded calmly.
After Chen Xing finished speaking, he walked to the front. Zhang Ningning was in front. At this time, Chen Wengui seized the opportunity and directly asked Huang Shixing. "Comrade World Bank, what you just said to Mayor Chen, is it true?
Mayor Chen, I can't not listen to Mayor Chen's instructions. " Huang Shixing said indifferently. He had made a decision in his heart. Huang Shixing also expected that Chen Wengui would definitely ask him questions, so he was already mentally prepared to deal with it.
"Comrade World Bank, you have to be clear that you are a part of our Nangang District. You have to understand your position." Chen Wengui said with a straight face.
Mayor Chen, I only know that I am not only a part of Nangang District, but also a part of Nanzhou City. Our Nangang District belongs to Nanzhou City. I can't ignore Mayor Chen's instructions.
Huang Shixing, you …
