"Mayor Chen, do you agree or not?" Lin Yupei said coquettishly and walked around the desk.
"I'll see if there are any other arrangements tonight." Seeing Lin Yupei coming over, Chen Xing stood up directly. If this woman stuck to him, he didn't know what she would do later. Chen Xing didn't doubt that Lin Yupei would dare to do that. This woman gave him the feeling that she was very bold now. Chen Xing even wondered if Lin Yupei had hooked up with Wang Rongyan like this when she was in the Department of Higher Education and then became the deputy director of the office.
"Mayor Chen, don't you know if there are any other arrangements tonight? Don't be perfunctory … "
Before Lin Yupei finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Chen Xing turned around and saw it was Zeng Ping. He immediately smiled and said, "Director Zeng, come in."
Chen Xing was obviously eager for someone to come in at this time. Zeng Ping came at the right time. Seeing that someone came, Lin Yupei's face instantly became serious again. She smiled and nodded to Zeng Ping, then said to Chen Xing, "Mayor Chen, if there is nothing else, I'll leave first."
Chen Xing waved his hand, thinking that this woman's acting skills were also first-class.
Zeng Ping didn't notice anything strange about Lin Yupei. As the new director of the office, he didn't know anything about Lin Yupei, so he wouldn't speculate too much. He put two documents in his hand on Chen Xing's desk and said, "Mayor, this is the list of all the polluting enterprises in Xiaoshiping during my work in the Environmental Protection Bureau. It is divided into several levels of heavy pollution, medium pollution, and light pollution. Also, this is the GNP of Quannan District last year."
Hearing that, Chen Xing nodded. He didn't give these documents to Zeng Ping, but Zeng Ping had prepared them himself and sorted out the information of Quannan District. Obviously, Chen Xing wanted to compare and refer to Zeng Ping. Chen Xing was undoubtedly very satisfied with Zeng Ping's meticulous work.
Picking up the documents and skimming through them, Chen Xing only skimmed through the main points. When he saw that the small stone plateau accounted for 10% of the Quannan District's GNP, Chen Xing's expression finally changed a little. He sighed. The enterprises in the small stone plateau could contribute 6 billion yuan of output value to the Quannan District every year. No wonder the district was unwilling to touch such a heavily polluted area and would rather turn a blind eye to it.
Take the Jiu Ye Paper Mill as an example. They mainly produce packaging paper, and their annual output is more than 40,000 tons. The annual output value is hundreds of millions. They can contribute nearly 20 million RMB to the Quan Nan District in tax revenue every year. They are a big taxpayer in the district. Do you think the district is willing to shut them down? How could the district be willing to shut down such an enterprise? Zeng Ping shook his head helplessly and said, "I have been to that paper mill twice. When the surrounding villagers directly came to the city to make trouble, the city instructed the Environmental Protection Bureau to carry out supervision. Our bureau went to inspect the factory and ordered them to stop production for rectification. But after a few days, they resumed production again. Because they were protected by the district, we couldn't do anything to them.
Such a big paper mill, how could their environmental protection facilities never meet the standards? " Chen Xing frowned.
"They have never met the standards. They have never met the rigid targets set by the State Environmental Protection Administration ten years ago. Their environmental protection facilities are all old and can't meet the normal pollution discharge standards. The sewage, waste gas, and smoke are all not up to the standard. These are all recorded in our bureau." Zeng Ping was quite angry. He still remembered the scene when the boss of the paper mill pointed at his nose and shouted. But at this time, there was no way he could mention this in front of Chen Xing. It was hard to guarantee that Chen Xing wouldn't think that Zeng Ping specifically mentioned this paper mill to get back at him. Too much talk is bound to slip up. This was what Zeng Ping firmly believed in after working in the government for nearly 30 years. At this time, he only said what he needed to say.
You said that the city had supervised the inspection? Why can they still produce as usual? Chen Xing was puzzled. He knew that the supervision Zeng Ping mentioned was before he took office.
The city had supervised the inspection, and they did stop production. But it was only for ten days to half a month. Later, they used deceptive means to report to the city that they had been rectified. So the factory had been producing. Zeng Ping shook his head and said.
Since you, as the director of the Environmental Protection Administration, knew about it, why didn't you take any measures? Chen Xing turned to look at Zeng Ping.
Mayor, you know that I am just a director of the Environmental Protection Administration. Zeng Ping smiled bitterly. This sentence showed his helplessness. He was neither the mayor nor the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. He was just a director of the Environmental Protection Administration. The leaders of the district could ignore him. Chen Xing was stunned.
He glanced at Zeng Ping and nodded slightly. He could understand Zeng Ping's helplessness. The district was willing to cover up for such a big profit and tax source in the district, and they were unwilling to shut it down. It was impossible for the leaders of the city to personally keep an eye on such an enterprise. It was really easy for the people below to deceive the public. Moreover, even the people of the city did not necessarily want to take action. After all, it was a large enterprise. In such an era of economic dominance, the economic output and taxes paid by an enterprise were undoubtedly the first consideration of most leaders.
Chen Xing took a look at the list of enterprises listed by Zeng Ping. There was more than one heavily polluting enterprise like the Jiuye Paper Mill in Xiaoshiping. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was the most polluted area in Nanzhou City.
We didn't manage to go there today. In the next two days, we still have to arrange some time to visit the site. Chen Xing said.
Fortunately, we came back directly today. Otherwise, if the people in the district knew that we were going to Xiaoshiping, they might start to cover up for us again. Zeng Ping smiled. The villagers around Xiaoshiping had already made up a rhyme. 'The government and the enterprise have a tacit understanding. Environmental protection is like fart. When someone inspects it, it stops. When the front foot leaves, it releases poisonous gas.'
This rhyme is not very good, but it speaks of the people's resentment towards our government. Chen Xing shook his head.
The surrounding villages are seriously polluted. It is normal for the people to complain about living in that kind of environment. I think in the long run, there will be a second cancer village. Zeng Ping nodded in agreement with Chen Xing's words.
Speaking of the cancer village, Chen Xing's face was especially solemn. It was good for the enterprises to discharge their pollutants as they could save money and trouble. But the pollution caused to the environment was irreversible. The city had to pay a hefty price for this. They had to allocate funds to treat the patients in the cancer village, relocate the village, and build resettlement houses. The amount of funds invested was not a small sum.
The city didn't need to care about these things. At least, his predecessor didn't care about these things and didn't spend money that might be unnecessary in the eyes of other cadres. However, as the mayor, Chen Xing couldn't ignore it. Since he was in this position, he always remembered that he was the mayor of the people. In terms of personal life, he might feel guilty as a cadre, but in terms of official affairs, Chen Xing had a clear conscience.
You will arrange this. Look at the schedule for the next two or three days and find a time to go. Chen Xing was silent for a moment and said.
Okay. Zeng Ping nodded.
Near evening, Chen Xing finished the things at hand and looked at the time. Afraid that Lin Yupei would come again, Chen Xing left the office a few minutes earlier.
He Li's coffee shop was still being renovated. They didn't live in the house upstairs anymore. They just lived in the house they bought before. After asking for the address of the community, Chen Xing came here and came to He Li's place for dinner in the evening.
After finding the house they mentioned, He Li came to open the door for Chen Xing. It was the first time for Chen Xing to come here. Seeing that the house was very tidy and clean, he couldn't help laughing. "Women love cleanliness. You haven't lived here, but you still keep it so clean."
"Hire someone to clean it. We don't have the luck to clean such a big house." He Li rolled his eyes.
"Still no news from Lu Ming?" Chen Xing walked to the sofa and sat down, asking casually.
"Not yet. I don't know which bastard is deliberately making things difficult for me. I haven't offended anyone yet." He Li said gloomily.
"It's really strange. Trouble fell from the sky for no reason. But don't take it to heart. It's better than nothing that you're not hurt." Chen Xing comforted him with a smile. "Lu Ming will definitely help you investigate and inform you in time when there is a result."
"That's all we can do." He Li shook his head and smiled. "I'm just worried that when I finish the renovation and open for business, these bastards will come and smash my shop again."
"That shouldn't be the case." Chen Xing was stunned and said, "If that's the case, it means that you have offended someone, and they are going to fight with you."
"I can't think of anyone I have offended. Anyway, it's so weird." He Li looked helpless. "Forget it. Let's not talk about it. It's disappointing. It's rare for you to take the initiative to come over. At least you have some conscience."
"I did have something to do last night. I received a text message and went to see someone." Chen Xing said with a smile. "Didn't you say that you would let me see your cooking tonight? Why is it only Sister Chu who is busy in the kitchen? You are so free."
"Sister Chu is good at both the living room and the kitchen." He Li raised the corner of his mouth. "I want to cook, but Sister Chu said that she is afraid that the food I make is not edible. Look, she asked me to stay aside."
"Hey, He Li, you want to be lazy, but you still have the nerve to say that I asked you to stay aside." Chu Rong poked his head out of the kitchen with a smile.
When Chen Xing was sitting in the living room, he didn't notice that when he took the elevator up just now, a young man took the same elevator as him and came out of the elevator on the same floor. The young man pretended to go to other doors on the floor to look for people. After making sure that Chen Xing had entered the apartment where He Li was, the young man quickly went downstairs.
Downstairs, Chen Dafei sat quietly in a car. When the young man came out, he got into the same car and said excitedly, "Brother Chen, the person you mentioned just now has indeed entered the apartment 805."
"Good, good, it's not in vain that I have been waiting for a day." A trace of hostility flashed in Chen Dafei's eyes.
"Zhang Hu, do you know who that person is?" Chen Dafei turned his head and looked at Zhang Hu.
"I don't know." The young man called Zhang Hu shook his head in a daze. "Who is he?"
"If you don't know, you don't need to know. Just concentrate on your drinking and flirting with your girl." Chen Dafei smiled brightly. "Take the 2,000 yuan."
"Brother Chen, are you looking down on me? I just did such a small thing today. How can I take your money?" Zhang Hu shook his head quickly.
"Just take it. Okay, there's nothing else today. Go drink and play with your girl." Chen Dafei said impatiently.
"Fine, then I won't be polite with your Brother Chen." Zhang Hu said with a smile. His eyes were already fixed on the money in Chen Dafei's hand.
After getting out of the car with the money, Zhang Hu bowed and bade farewell to Chen Dafei. As Chen Dafei watched Zhang Hu leave, the corner of his mouth twitched in disdain. This kind of trash only knew how to drink and fool around with women. However, trash also had their own merits. Other than fooling around, they did not care about anything else. Chen Dafei was looking for this kind of person to see if he could recognize Chen Xing, the dignified mayor. But then again, even an ordinary citizen would not recognize a mayor unless they often watched the news in the city.
Looking up at the second floor, Chen Dafei squinted his eyes. Now he knew that Chen Xing and the woman called He Li definitely had a relationship. Maybe he even had a relationship with both of them at the same time. However, the problem in front of him now was how to take the photos he wanted. He couldn't enter the house, let alone approach it. If he was seen by Chen Xing, things would be terrible.
While hesitating, Chen Dafei's cell phone rang. It was Deng Wenhua.
"Xiaofei, where are you? Come to the club quickly. There are a few fresh and pure female students from the University of Nanzhou in the evening. Hehe, look, I'm calling you when there's something good." Deng Wenhua smiled wretchedly.
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Chen Dafei said with a smile. He slowly withdrew his gaze from the second floor. Chen Dafei thought that today's purpose had been achieved. He could think of the next step slowly. There was no rush. As for Deng Wenhua, he still had to accompany her to eat, drink and have fun. Obviously, he had to hold the thigh of the Deng family tightly. Moreover, Deng Wenhua was also an important person for him to use.
