In the mayor's office.
Chen Xing listened to the report of Zeng Ping, the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, on the rectification of the petrochemical industrial zone. He finally smiled. This long-standing problem had finally been solved. Director Zeng, you have worked hard these days.
It's all because of Mayor Chen's guidance. We are resolutely following your instructions. If it weren't for Mayor Chen's correct instructions, the Environmental Protection Bureau would have been in vain. Zeng Ping lowered his head and smiled. His words were full of flattery and compliments to Chen Xing. Zeng Ping would not miss such an opportunity to flatter Chen Xing. Moreover, it was indeed because of Chen Xing's tough attitude that the hard bones in the industrial zone gave in. Zeng Ping was right to flatter Chen Xing. It was hard for the Environmental Protection Bureau to withstand the pressure from all sides, not to mention the cooperation of those enterprises.
"The frontline staff have also worked hard. Director Zeng, when this matter is over, don't forget to reward them." Chen Xing smiled. "But they still have to work hard for a few more days. These days, we have to stay in the industrial zone and supervise all the enterprises that do not meet the pollution treatment standards to complete the rectification."
"Mayor Chen, don't worry. I have made arrangements for this matter. I have implemented a responsibility system in the bureau. Every two people are responsible for watching one enterprise. We must ensure that all the enterprises consciously rectify." Zeng Ping smiled and nodded. "And after the enterprises complete the rectification, the environmental monitoring station in the industrial zone will continue to be stationed in the future to monitor the environmental conditions of the industrial zone."
"That's good." Chen Xing looked at Zeng Ping approvingly and said, "The petrochemical industry is a heavy polluting industry. Since we have planned such a large petrochemical industrial zone, we must be responsible for the people and control the pollution to the minimum. The minimum requirement is to ensure that there is no impact on the health of the people."
"You are right, Mayor Chen." Zeng Ping nodded in agreement with Chen Xing's words. He didn't dare to say anything else. Zeng Ping knew that when planning the petrochemical industrial zone, the leaders of the city had already taken the possible pollution into consideration. Otherwise, they wouldn't have planned the industrial zone in Nangang District. This was because Nangang District was the furthest away from the city center among the several districts directly under the city. Even if there was an accident that caused uncontrollable pollution, it wouldn't affect the city center. To say that the leaders of the city lacked consideration was pure nonsense. Everyone valued their own lives more than anything else. Zeng Ping dared to pat his chest and say that if the petrochemical industrial zone had been planned closer to the city center, it would have been unanimously rejected.
Of course, there were also some elements of a joke in this. Planning the industrial district in Nangang District was a comprehensive consideration of various factors. It was not just a matter of distance.
In the end, it was all about money. These enterprises had signed contracts with the city to ensure that the investment in the pollution treatment equipment would be in place. In the end, they still did not strictly follow the contract. Chen Xing sighed. This time, if someone else had been the mayor, the problem of the petrochemical industrial zone would still not be solved. In the end, it would still be dragged on day by day. Only he dared to go against the governor. It was not a wise move, but he still did it.
In the beginning, our supervision was not in place, so the Environmental Protection Bureau had to bear a lot of responsibility. Ceng Ping took the initiative to take the responsibility. When the petrochemical industrial zone was first planned, it was his predecessor's problem. Even if the Environmental Protection Agency really wanted to intervene, it was not his fault. Moreover, even if the Environmental Protection Agency really wanted to intervene, it was powerless. The leaders in the city had turned a blind eye to it in pursuit of political achievements. What could the Environmental Protection Agency do?
This was also the reason why Zeng Ping did not pay attention to the pollution of the petrochemical industrial zone after he took office. There were many people who reported the pollution of the industrial zone, and the cancer village was even more famous. However, no one really took care of it. Zeng Ping did not have a powerful background, but he was able to climb to the position he had today. Naturally, he was well versed in the ways of officialdom. It would be strange if he took the initiative to take care of this matter. If it were not for Chen Xing's tough attitude and his ability to withstand pressure from all sides, this matter would definitely be left unsettled.
At this time, Zeng Ping took the responsibility because he wanted to make a good impression in front of Chen Xing. Anyway, he knew that Chen Xing would not take it seriously. Taking the responsibility could leave a good impression on Chen Xing, so why not?
Let's not talk about the past. The key was the future. Chen Xing waved his hand. What happened before was his predecessor's problem. Chen Xing did not want to bring up the past. He himself knew that the Environmental Protection Bureau really could not do much to those enterprises in the industrial zone. It was meaningless to pursue this responsibility. This time, the enterprises were collectively rectified. If there was another problem in the future, he would find Zeng Ping, the director, to settle the score.
Our bureau will ensure that the supervision is in place. Zeng Ping said solemnly. He smiled bitterly in his heart. His words were more or less slippery, but he could not stand the fact that a big customer bullied him. In the future, if the enterprises in the industrial zone really had pollution, without Chen Xing, the Environmental Protection Bureau would not be a deterrent.
He believed that in the future, as long as Refining Province took the lead and set a good example, similar situations would not happen again. Chen Xing glanced at Zeng Ping. Zeng Ping's careful thoughts could not escape his eyes.
That was true. If Refining Province had no problem, then the Environmental Protection Bureau could be more assertive in enforcing the law. Zeng Ping nodded in agreement. It was certainly not true that the Environmental Protection Bureau existed in name only. Most of the polluting enterprises were still very afraid of the Environmental Protection Bureau's investigation. Otherwise, they would not often use their connections to pay tribute to the Environmental Protection Bureau. Only those enterprises with powerful backgrounds dared to ignore the inspection of the Environmental Protection Bureau. The enterprises in the petrochemical industrial zone were led by Refining Province. As a key state-owned enterprise under the provincial government, its boss, Xiao Longbo, was even more powerful. It would be strange if the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau dared to inspect Refining Province. If the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau did not inspect Refining Province, other enterprises in the industrial zone would not do so. Why did Refining Province not inspect Refining Province if it did not meet the pollution standards? If these enterprises caused trouble, the Environmental Protection Bureau would have a headache. Therefore, the existence of Refining Province put the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau in a very awkward position. This time, Chen Xing dealt with Refining Province, and other enterprises in the industrial zone became honest and said that they would cooperate with the rectification.
By the way, the preparation of next year's financial budget is about to start again. The Environmental Protection Bureau should make a plan first. I need to see a more accurate assessment of how much the pollution control in several major areas of the city will cost. Chen Xing suddenly said.
Mayor, what do you mean? Zeng Ping was stunned, and then his eyes lit up. He had already heard the implication of Chen Xing's words, and his eyes were almost shining.
Next year, I will ask the municipal finance to focus on the pollution control funds. Chen Xing glanced at Zeng Ping lightly. Seeing that Zeng Ping was a little carried away, he warned him again, provided that the evaluation of the Environmental Protection Bureau does not disappoint me.
Mayor Chen, don't worry. I will personally take charge of this matter when I go back, and I will come up with a more accurate assessment. Zeng Ping's eyes were shining, and he could not wait to go back and organize people to do this.
Well, that's all for today. I think you are already absent-minded. Chen Xing stood up. Hearing that the financial funds would be inclined to the Environmental Protection Bureau, Zeng Ping's eyes were full of smiles.
Mayor Chen, then I will go first. Zeng Ping stood up, and his bones were a little lighter.
Out of Chen Xing's office, Zeng Ping couldn't help but want to hum a song. Damn, our Environmental Protection Bureau is going to be rich. It is rare to meet a mayor who attaches so much importance to environmental protection. Zeng Ping thought happily in his heart. Their Environmental Protection Bureau is used to being short of money, and this time it is estimated that they will be rich. It is hard to say whether the Environmental Protection Bureau is good or not. In fact, it is not as good as the Finance Bureau, the Tax Bureau, the Construction Bureau, and the Transportation Bureau. Those departments are also departments with a lot of money. Most of the Environmental Protection Bureau is regarded as a government department with a lack of money, but it is not all the case.
The key is still to look at the place. Some local leaders pay attention to environmental protection, so they will give more funds to the Environmental Protection Bureau, and there will be special funds for pollution control. When Zeng Ping went to Beijing for a meeting a few months ago, he met a colleague from another province, who was also a bureau chief. Their city had just held a meeting and approved a special treatment fund for the environmental treatment of several main urban areas. The special fund was as high as more than 2 billion yuan. After hearing that, Zeng Ping was very envious. He still remembered the pride of the other party when he talked to him. It was obvious that he was showing off to him.
As soon as Chen Xing sat down, the door of the office rang again. This time, it was Li Yong who came in. Li Yong had just sent Song Zhi to the airport and came back to tell Chen Xing about it.
It's good that I sent her away. If this girl still doesn't leave, I won't be able to live in peace. Chen Xing laughed. Although he said that, his face was full of smiles. He was the only child in his family, and he didn't have any younger brothers or sisters. In his heart, he treated Song Zhi as his younger sister.
Mayor, when I sent Miss Song to the airport, I met the young man from last night. My car accidentally hit him, and the car was damaged. I sent it to the hospital for repair. Li Yong lowered his voice and lowered his head, not daring to look at Chen Xing.
Aren't you always very careful when driving? Why did you hit him? Chen Xing looked at Li Yong strangely.
That young man's words were not pleasant to the ear, and he kept provoking me. I couldn't help but compete with him and accidentally hit him. Li Yong gave a hollow laugh.
Xiao Li, you are still too young. Don't argue with him. Chen Xing shook his head with a smile. Seeing Li Yong's look as if he had done something wrong, Chen Xing didn't criticize him. He smiled and said, "It's okay that you hit him. It's fine as long as he's not hurt.
Mayor, I noticed that the Audi that young man drove has a license plate issued by our Municipal Government. I didn't notice it last night, but today when I came to the Municipal Government, I paid special attention to it. That license plate is obviously on a Passat in our courtyard. Why does his Audi also have the same license plate? " Li Yong said again. He was quite indignant in his heart. At this moment, he more or less wanted to snitch on Chen Xing.
Really? Chen Xing was stunned and glanced at Li Yong. In this case, Xiao Li, go to Deputy Director Xiao and ask him to find someone to investigate it.
