When Chen Xing returned to the office, it was already past three o 'clock in the afternoon. As soon as he arrived at the office, his secretary, Huang Jianghua, came in to report. "Mayor, Director Zeng of the Environmental Protection Bureau just came to wait for you. I don't know if there is anything urgent.
Oh, why didn't you call me if there is something urgent? " Chen Xing frowned. He asked the Environmental Protection Bureau to keep an eye on the petrochemical industrial area. Zeng Ping came to see him. He was afraid that there was something urgent.
He didn't say what it was. He said that he would report when you came back. I just saw him waiting in the reception room.
Let him come now. Chen Xing nodded and went to the sofa to sit down. Chen Xing's thoughts were still on the conversation with Chang Shengjun just now.
Huang Jianghua went out to find Zeng Ping. When he walked to the reception room, he found that Zeng Ping was not there. It was very strange. Zeng Ping waited for so long. Now that the mayor finally came back, why did he disappear? Even if he wanted to leave, he had to say hello. He came to see the mayor, not in his Environmental Protection Bureau. He could do whatever he wanted. At least he had to say hello when he left.
Not daring to let Chen Xing wait for a long time, Huang Jianghua quickly called Zeng Ping. He wanted to ask where he was, but no one answered. Did he go to the toilet? After hanging up the phone, Huang Jianghua muttered to himself. He felt very strange in his heart. Unless the phone was set to silent mode, it would be impossible for no one to answer.
After waiting for a while, he didn't see Zeng Ping appear. Huang Jianghua didn't dare to wait any longer. If he made Chen Xing wait for a long time, it would be his negligence as a secretary. He walked to the corridor and happened to meet a member of the General Department. He quickly stopped him and asked, "Have you seen Director Zeng of the Environmental Protection Bureau just now?"
"Yes, I think I went into Deputy Mayor Zhang's office." Seeing that it was Ceng Ping, who had just been promoted to the first secretary of the city government, this staff member from the General Affairs Department did not dare to slight him. It was said that Ceng Ping would soon be promoted to the Deputy Chief of the General Affairs Department, and he would soon become his immediate superior. If he showed any disrespect now, he was afraid that he would often be in trouble in the future.
Alright, you can go about your business. Huang Jianghua nodded and hesitated for a moment. Huang Jianghua turned around and walked back to Chen Xing's office. He felt that it was necessary to talk to Chen Xing. Now the relationship between several leaders of the Municipal Government was messy. Zeng Ping couldn't understand it. Zhang Xinjun was supposed to be on the same side with Li Haocheng, but at the last executive meeting, Zhang Xinjun supported Chen Xing, which made Li Haocheng angry. Chen Xing seemed to have a card up his sleeve. Zeng Ping didn't understand the relationship between these leaders.
Although Huang Jianghua couldn't figure it out, he still had to report the situation to Chen Xing as soon as possible. He quickly walked into Chen Xing's office. Seeing Chen Xing engrossed in his documents, Huang Jianghua cautiously said. Mayor, Director Zeng isn't here now. Just now, I bumped into a staff member from the General Affairs Department. He said that he saw Director Zeng entering Deputy Mayor Zhang's office.
"Really." Chen Xing was stunned for a moment and nodded calmly. "Then let's wait for him to come."
Seeing that Chen Xing didn't have any special reaction, Huang Jianghua also began to think secretly. "It seems that Zhang Xinjun and Chen Xing should have some unknown relationship."
More than ten minutes later, Zeng Ping rushed over. Seeing Huang Jianghua at the door, he hurriedly asked, "Has Mayor Chen been waiting for a while?"
"It has been a while. Director Zeng, hurry up and go in." Huang Jianghua nodded.
"Okay." Hearing that Chen Xing had been back for a while, Zeng Ping didn't dare to delay any longer. He quickly pushed the door and went in.
"Mayor." Zeng Ping walked to Chen Xing and stood carefully.
"Sit down." Chen Xing raised his hand and motioned Zeng Ping to sit down.
"Mayor, I just went to Deputy Mayor Zhang's office." Zeng Ping explained, "Originally, I was waiting for Mayor Chen, but Deputy Mayor Zhang called and asked me to report to him about the petrochemical industry district. I had to go there.
Comrade Xinjun is in charge of environmental protection. It's normal for him to ask you to report to him. It's not a big deal. " Chen Xing said calmly. He didn't suspect that Zeng Ping went to Zhang Xinjun's office. At this time, Zeng Ping specially explained it because he was afraid that Chen Xing would misunderstand. Chen Xing could understand Zeng Ping's feelings. The people under him liked to speculate about the feelings of their leaders. They didn't care much about the lives of ordinary people. When the leader sneezed, everything was more important. Looking at Zeng Ping who was still standing, Chen Xing shook his head. "You don't have to stand, just sit down."
"Okay, okay. Thank you, Mayor." Zeng Ping sat down and carefully observed Chen Xing's expression. After confirming that Chen Xing didn't take this matter to heart, Zeng Ping was finally relieved. He secretly compared Chen Xing with other leaders in the city, thinking that Chen Xing not only dared to do things, but also was much more broad-minded.
"Why are you here?" Chen Xing asked directly.
"Mayor, in the petrochemical industry area, with the cooperation of the Municipal Bureau and the Nangang District Public Security Bureau, we arrested several managers of enterprises who incited workers to fight against law enforcement officers. At the same time, we also forced the Provincial Petrochemical Industry to stop production for rectification. A manager of the Provincial Petrochemical Industry refused to cooperate with us, so the Public Security Bureau also detained him. As a matter of fact, before we had a meal, these people called us."
Zeng Ping explained the situation with a wry smile. He exaggerated a little, but the truth was not far from it. They went to the industrial area in the morning for inspection. The enterprises in the industrial area continued to produce and discharge sewage as usual, ignoring the administrative order of the Environmental Protection Bureau. This time, Zeng Ping was serious and arrested people. This time, the situation was a little different from a few days ago. A few days ago, people were arrested under the instruction of Chen Xing, but they were only middle-level managers of private enterprises. This time, they even touched the butt of the Provincial Petrochemical Industry. The people of the Nangang District Public Security Bureau were also very cooperative. The branch director, Huang Shixing, personally sat on the scene and ignored the leaders of the industrial area management committee. Instead, they wholeheartedly cooperated with the action of the Environmental Protection Bureau, which surprised Zeng Ping.
"Did the Nangang District Public Security Bureau cooperate with you?" Chen Xing asked.
"Yes, the branch director, Huang Shixing, is really supportive this time. To be honest, even I feel strange." Zeng Ping said. He didn't know that Chen Xing had accompanied the people from the foundation to Big Head Village yesterday, which caused Huang Shixing to express his stance on the spot.
After listening to Zeng Ping's words, Chen Xing was secretly satisfied with Huang Shixing. The other party didn't pretend to obey him, and this time, he really took action. Looking at Zeng Ping, Chen Xing didn't need to guess to know the other party's intention. After arresting people, pressure from all sides would come, right?
Who said it wasn't? Some people could still be fooled, but there were some that couldn't be fooled. Zeng Ping complained to Chen Xing. Just now, Deputy Mayor Zhang called me over to ask about this matter. He told us not to act rashly, saying that we were playing the lute and destroying the stability of the economy. He asked us to release the people quickly.
As for Deputy Mayor Zhang, you don't have to care about him. Chen Xing said faintly. He was now in control of Zhang Xinjun. If Zhang Xinjun had any objections on this matter, Chen Xing could completely ignore it.
Mayor, other than Deputy Mayor Zhang, Secretary Ge also called to ask about this matter and criticized our actions. In the end, Zeng Ping mentioned the person who gave him the most pressure. The secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Ge Jian-ming, also asked about this matter and criticized the Environmental Protection Bureau. Zeng Ping was so scared that he almost peed his pants. After hanging up the phone, he almost wanted to inform the Public Security Bureau to release the people, but when he remembered that it was Chen Xing's order, Zeng Ping didn't dare to make the decision on his own. He could only run to Chen Xing for help.
Secretary Ge also asked about it. Chen Xing frowned and said to himself. Ge Jian-ming also didn't support this, so the pressure he faced was even greater, let alone Zeng Ping. No wonder Zeng Ping came to complain so soon after the arrest in the morning.
Mayor, do you think we should release the people now? Zeng Ping asked Chen Xing for his opinion.
We can't release them. Chen Xing shook his head decisively. They just arrested a few days ago and then let them go. If they did the same this time, where would the authority of the government be? In the future, the enforcement of the Environmental Protection Bureau will only become more and more difficult. If they let them go this time, they will only be laughed at by others. They must be punished according to the law. Otherwise, those companies will think that no one can control them.
Mayor, if we don't release them, I'm afraid it will be hard to explain to Secretary Ge. Zeng Ping said helplessly. He couldn't bear the pressure from Ge Jian-ming. Now, he still came to ask Chen Xing for advice. He was also under a lot of pressure.
As for Secretary Ge, I will talk to him. You just do what you need to do. Chen Xing's face was tense. The pollution problem of the petrochemical industry must be solved. If it dragged on like this, it would go back to the past sooner or later. It would only condone the irresponsible behavior of the companies.
Then … Zeng Ping opened his mouth, but finally nodded. I will do as you say.
Go do what you need to do. I will talk to Secretary Ge later. Chen Xing said to Zeng Ping.
After sending Zeng Ping away, Chen Xing was also sitting in a daze. He had never been clear about Ge Jian-ming's attitude towards the petrochemical industry. He thought that only Li Haocheng was trying his best to protect the interests of the petrochemical industry. After all, the petrochemical industry was built by Li Haocheng. Li Haocheng saw it as his political achievement that it had developed to such a large scale. That was why he didn't allow others to smear it. But now, it seemed that the pollution problem of the petrochemical industry was unrestrained.
Yes, it should be clear that the existence of the Cancer Village did not come into being today. It would be strange if Ge Jian-ming didn't know about the existence of such a 'village'. However, it didn't take any active measures to solve the pollution problem of the petrochemical industry. It was not hard to imagine Ge Jian-ming's attitude on this matter. When it came to local economic interests, Ge Jian-ming would undoubtedly turn a blind eye to it.
Chen Xing was in a daze for a while. Then, a call came in. It was a strange number. Chen Xing picked it up. When he heard the unique deep voice of the caller, Chen Xing knew it was the bodyguard of Lin Hong.
