After the dishes were served, Li Rui asked Yan Dan to eat. Yan Dan put down her phone and picked up her chopsticks to eat.
Halfway through the meal, Li Rui felt that there was some food in his stomach, but Yan Dan had already put down her chopsticks. He was surprised and asked, "Are you full?" Yan Dan smiled at him and nodded. "Yes, I'm full. I have something to do at home, so I have to go back quickly. Take your time." She got up. Li Rui hurriedly got up to send her off. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Oh right, can you give me your contact number? If I have any questions about the test results later, I might need to trouble you." Yan Dan nodded. "Okay, I'll read out the number. You can write it down." Li Rui wrote down her number and dialed it back. "This is my number. If you need help in the future, just give me a call. Since we know each other, we'll be friends in the future. You don't have to be polite with me."
Yan Dan smiled faintly at him, indicating that she understood. She also seemed to be saying, "Don't think too highly of yourself. Why would I need your help?" She didn't say anything and quickly walked away.
Li Rui sent her to the door and returned to his seat to continue eating. He felt a little depressed when he thought about her leaving halfway through the meal. Ever since he became successful, all the women he knew, no matter if they were tall, short, fat, thin, beautiful, or ugly, were proud to eat with him. Not to mention that they wouldn't leave halfway, even if they finished eating, they wouldn't leave. None of them were like Yan Dan, who didn't put him in her eyes. But then again, he wasn't the sun. He didn't have the right to ask all the women to revolve around him. Besides, Yan Dan's background and skills were completely different from his, so there was no need for her to put him in her eyes. He was too full of himself. He couldn't maintain this kind of thinking, or else it would cause problems in the future.
After the meal, Li Rui hurriedly drove back to the Municipal Party Committee. He rushed to the office to meet with the boss, Song Chaoyang, and reported everything that had happened: sneaking into Dongshui Village, bumping into Liu Erkui, visiting the pollution site, resolving the conflict between the police and civilians, and returning to the city for water quality testing.
Song Chaoyang was shocked after hearing this. He stood up with his eyes wide open and said with great indignation, "Someone actually died!"
It was true that Liu Erkui was shot by Superintendent Shi, but if he did not get involved in this matter, Liu Erkui's death could have been avoided. After all, if he did not ask Liu Erkui to bring him to the village to check the pollution situation, he would not have gotten into an argument with Superintendent Shi. But then again, if he did not stop Liu Erkui at the beginning, he would have killed him with a knife. Then again, he would not have been able to escape death. Sigh, so Liu Erkui's death could only be blamed on the Northern City Government's wrong handling of the matter.
"This Zhao Xiaotao, he swore to me this morning that all the problems had been solved and that there would be no more problems. But what happened in the end? He had only been talking for half a day and someone had already died! If it were not for you, Xiao Rui, who handled this matter well, there might have been an even more terrifying conflict and even more intense conflict … I'm so angry. This Zhao Xiaotao, I will not forgive him! "
Song Chaoyang was so angry that his face turned green. He gritted his teeth and said this. In fact, Zhao Xiaotao's statement that there would be no more problems in the morning was not wrong. The premise was that there would be no more problems. But in the end, not only was there a new problem, but someone had also died because of it. This matter had blown up. This was a huge mistake. It was no wonder that Song Chaoyang was angry.
Li Rui did not dare to say anything. He carefully observed his expression.
Song Chaoyang thought for a moment with a gloomy expression. He said, "Xiao Rui, call Zhao Xiaotao immediately. Tell him to have a meeting at the district government. Inform the directors of the Northern City's Environmental Protection Bureau and Public Security Bureau to be there. The Secretary-General and I will be there soon. We will have this meeting with them."
Li Rui nodded and said, "I will call the Secretary-General after this call."
Song Chaoyang said, "Okay, go."
Li Rui went to his desk in the outer room and called Zhao Xiaotao. He told him about Song Chaoyang's instructions.
Zhao Xiaotao was scared out of his wits when he saw that Song Chaoyang refused to let him go. He said, "Director Li, why is the Secretary holding this meeting? Is it because of … the Dongshui Village incident? " Li Rui said, "Mayor Zhao, you should hurry and inform the two directors to be there. The Secretary will be there soon." He hung up after saying that.
Half an hour later, Li Rui, Song Chaoyang, and Du Minsheng were already sitting in a small meeting room at the Northern City's District Government. The people who were present were the people that Song Chaoyang had asked to be notified. Although it was Saturday, the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary was holding a meeting. Who would dare to be absent? Therefore, these people, including Zhao Xiaotao, were all waiting in the meeting room early in the morning. They were afraid that their tardiness would affect Song Chaoyang's mood.
Before the meeting began, Zhao Xiaotao introduced the two directors to the two city leaders.
The Northern City's District Party Committee's Secretary, District Party Committee's Political and Legal Committee's Director had a strange surname. His surname was Kui, and his name was Kui Donghua. He was a tall and thin middle-aged man. He was not wearing a police uniform. He was dressed in a jacket and trousers. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked very gentle. When he was introduced by Zhao Xiaotao, he stood up and greeted Song Chaoyang and Du Minsheng.
The Northern City's Environmental Protection Bureau's Director, Shen Zhihong, was a fat man in his fifties. He only had a few strands of hair on his head and looked very funny. However, he had been smiling ever since Song Chaoyang entered the room. It was obvious that he was not an easy person to get along with.
There was another person present. He was the Northern City's Office Director. He was Zhao Xiaotao's secretary. It was normal for him to attend this meeting with Zhao Xiaotao. No one found it strange.
After the introductions were over, the meeting began. Although Zhao Xiaotao was presiding over the meeting, Song Chaoyang rushed to speak as soon as he came up. He pointed his gun at the Environmental Protection Bureau Chief, Shen Zhihong. "Chief Shen, I already know what happened in Dongshui Village in the past two days. I heard that the cause of this incident is that Dongshui Village has been seriously polluted. I also heard that your Northern City's Environmental Protection Bureau has conducted an environmental inspection of Dongshui Village. Now I want to ask you, is Dongshui Village seriously polluted? Or, did the Taiwan-funded chemical factory cause serious pollution to the local environment? "
Li Ruixin had said that. His boss had already raised the Damocles Sword. It was up to the leaders of the Northern City to see which one of them would be tactful, perfunctory, or even deceitful. Shen Zhihong was the first to be asked. Would he tell the truth? They stared at him to see how he would answer.
Shen Zhihong looked at Song Chaoyang with a respectful expression. He said calmly, "I know the situation of the chemical factory in Dongshui Village. There is a certain degree of pollution, but that chemical factory is a key investment enterprise in the district. Our Environmental Protection Bureau can't be too strict. "In addition, the former District Secretary, Sun Youguo, gave special instructions when he was still in office. He said that environmental pollution is unavoidable if the local government wants to develop the economy. Shougang is also a heavy polluter, but it still exists in the capital, Beijing. It has only started to move out in recent years. "The chemical factory in the Northern City is a big taxpayer in the district, so it needs local protection. Therefore, he asked us to pay attention to the seriousness of the environmental pollution and supervise the chemical factory to upgrade its environmental protection facilities. We strive to minimize the pollution of the surrounding environment. The owner of the chemical factory also attaches great importance to environmental pollution. He has upgraded the environmental protection facilities in the factory many times. It can be said that although there is still a small amount of pollution, it is definitely not as sensational as' serious pollution '. "
Shen Zhihong's words were neither servile nor overbearing. They were reasonable and had evidence. He pushed all the blame to the chemical factory and the former District Secretary, Sun Youguo, who was no longer in office. It had nothing to do with the Environmental Protection Bureau. Li Rui heard this and was secretly vigilant. Shen Zhihong was really not easy to deal with.
Song Chaoyang listened with a blank expression. He asked, "As far as I know, when your district's Environmental Protection Bureau told the villagers the results of the inspection, there was no pollution. The environmental impact assessment passed. Why are you telling me now that there is only a little pollution? Why did you come up with two different statements? Are you trying to deceive your superiors and your subordinates? "
Shen Zhihong was shocked. He shook his head and waved his hands. He said, "Song Shuji, no, definitely not deceiving your superiors and your subordinates! We sent people to inspect the waste water discharged from the chemical factory. The waste water met the standards. What I'm telling you now is that there is a little pollution. I'm referring to the waste gas discharged from the chemical factory, which caused light pollution to the local air environment. These are two completely different concepts. "
Song Chaoyang said faintly, "You mean that there is no problem with the waste water discharged from the chemical factory?"
Shen Zhihong thought that his explanation was appropriate. He smiled and nodded. "Yes, yes."
Song Chaoyang asked again, "So you didn't inspect the underground water of Dongshui Village?"
Shen Zhihong smiled and said, "Yes, there is no problem with the industrial waste water of the chemical factory. Naturally, it will not cause any form of pollution to the underground water of Dongshui Village. Haha, this is common sense."
Song Chaoyang said coldly, "What if the underground water of Dongshui Village has been seriously polluted?"
The smile on Shen Zhihong's face froze for a moment. He was stunned for a moment before he smiled again. "No, how is that possible? There are no other sources of pollution in Dongshui Village. The only way the chemical factory can pollute the underground water is by discharging waste water. But their waste water meets the standards, so … Haha, the underground water of Dongshui Village is definitely not polluted. It is clean. "
Song Chaoyang smiled coldly and said, "Director Shen, answer my question. If the underground water of Dongshui Village has been polluted, whose fault would it be?"
