Song Chaoyang nodded slowly and said, "Okay, okay, then we'll do as you say. But we have to think of a plan to reject it in advance. We can't just tell the inspection team that they don't want to settle in Qingyang City because we don't welcome them. Haha, that wouldn't be nice. "
Li Rui said, "Let me think about it. I don't have any good ideas now."
Song Chaoyang nodded and said, "Take your time. I'll think about it too. Anyway, there's still more than a day."
Back at his desk, Li Rui really did search for the two keywords "Yellow River Group" and "pollution" on the Internet. He wanted to know if the Yellow River Group had any precedents of environmental pollution. But when he did, he was shocked. The top ten search results were all about the Yellow River Group's subsidiary factories polluting the local environment. The most serious one described that the Yellow River Group's fourth-largest fertilizer factory in the country, located in Ji Province, had polluted a nearby river for 30 kilometers. The ammonia nitrogen in the water had seriously exceeded the standard and had caused a huge hidden danger to the local groundwater. The local government had ordered the factory to stop production and rectify it.
Li Rui felt his scalp go numb. It was as if he was looking at another "Taifu Chemical Factory" that was about to take the baton of pollution from the original Taifu Chemical Factory and continue to pollute Qingyang City's already unbearable ecological environment.
"This won't do. We have to stop the Yellow River Group from settling in Qingyang City. But how do we stop it? Hiss, this is really a difficult problem! "
In the following days, Li Rui had been racking his brains to think of a solution to this problem. But he had never encountered such a problem before. Now that he suddenly encountered it, it was like a leopard cat suddenly encountered a small curled up hedgehog. He had no idea where to start and could only sigh helplessly.
During dinner, Li Rui told Song Chaoyang about the information he found on the Internet. Song Chaoyang was also shocked and blurted out, "Then we definitely can't allow the Yellow River Group to settle in Qingyang City." Li Rui smiled bitterly. "I am already thinking of a way to stop them from settling in Qingyang City. But I still don't have any good ideas." Song Chaoyang also lost his appetite. He thought for a while and said. "How about this? We can talk to the Provincial Investment Promotion Agency and Industry Department's leaders in private. We can tell them that Qingyang City is under a lot of pressure because of the Taifu Chemical Factory's pollution in Dongshui Village. We are also criticized by the Governor and cannot accept any new polluters. That's why we don't accept them. Do you think they will understand us??"
Li Rui pondered for a while and said, "I think so. However, the biggest resistance to this matter comes from our Green Sun Empire. "As I said before, Mayor Yu strongly hopes for the Yellow River Group to settle here. Whether he knows about it or not, rejecting the Yellow River Group will cause a conflict between you and him. Therefore, you need to think carefully about how to handle this matter. If Qingyang City's leaders can unite, it will not be a problem to reject the Yellow River Group's Qingyang City. "
His words hit the nail on the head. Song Chaoyang looked at him approvingly and said, "You're right. It seems that I really need to consider it carefully."
Li Rui only got off work at 8.15 pm that night. Compared to his usual days, he still got off work early. Dong Xuebing walked out of Qingyang Hotel with his briefcase and hailed a taxi to Ding Yijing's house.
Dong Xuebing arrived at Ding Yijing's house. He called Ding Yijing and asked for her room number. When he arrived at her house, she was already waiting for him. Both of them looked at each other and smiled. Although they did not say anything, the way they looked at each other had a lot to say.
After entering the house, Li Rui was warmly welcomed by Ding Zhiguo and his wife. Ding Zhiguo's mother did not target him like before, nor did she bring up the past. She greeted him with a smile, poured him tea, and offered him fresh fruit. She treated him like a benefactor.
Li Rui saw her expression, and the stone in his heart was completely lifted. He knew that from now on, he didn't have to worry about this cheap mother-in-law. Maybe, even if she knew about his relationship with her daughter in the future, she wouldn't be angry. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Although Ding Zhiguo had only been imprisoned for four or five days, it was no different from being imprisoned for four or five years. His body was thin, his face was sallow, and his spirit had dropped by a lot. When he spoke, his words were gentle, as if he was a completely different person. He was very grateful to Li Rui for saving his life and said emotionally, "Li Rui, if it were not for you this time, I would be finished. The people from the two disciplinary teams told me that it was not a big deal and that I would be sentenced to at least a few years in prison. The shortest would be three or four years, and the longest would be six or seven years. In the end, you stepped in and saved me from prison. Sigh, I really don't know how to thank you … "
Ding Zhiguo's mother listened with a sad face, but when she looked at Li Rui, she looked grateful. She said, "Li Rui, you did not just save our Old Ding this time. You saved our whole family. If Old Ding went to prison, our family would be finished. How are we going to live in the future? Tell me … I understand now. Our family has mountains of gold and silver, but they are nothing. If we really meet with trouble, we still need help. If there is no help, then we can just wait for death. Luckily, Jing Jing has a good friend like you. Otherwise, I don't even dare to think about it … "As she spoke, her eyes turned red. From this, it could be seen that Ding Zhiguo's imprisonment had indeed caused great psychological damage to her.
Li Rui hurriedly said, "Hey, Uncle, Auntie, aren't you treating me as an outsider? Jing Jing and I are old deskmates and good friends. Uncle Ding, as her father, how can I stand by and do nothing when something like this happened? This is what I should do as a junior. Why are you being so polite with me? Don't be so polite anymore. Otherwise, I will leave now, haha. "After he finished speaking, he glanced at Ding Yijing who was standing beside him.
Ding Yijing looked at him with a smile on her lips. Her eyes were filled with warmth and comfort.
Ding Zhiguo said, "Alright, then we won't be polite with you. Not bad, not bad at all. What a good child!"
Ding Yijing's mother also said, "Yes, Li Rui is really good. If I had known that he was so good, I wouldn't have …"
Ding Yijing hurriedly said, "Mom, say something else."
Ding Yijing's mother glared at her unhappily. She sighed and shut her mouth.
Li Rui picked up his teacup and drank two mouthfuls. After all, Ding Yijing's mother had already poured it. If he didn't drink it, it would be a waste of her hard work. Then, he said to Ding Zhiguo with a serious expression, "Uncle Ding, I have to make it clear to you. Although your imprisonment has ended early, this matter is not over. It also doesn't mean that you can be reinstated. You have to be mentally prepared. This time, you will definitely have to step down. In the future, you might have to live an ordinary life as a commoner."
Ding Zhiguo nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand. I can also accept it. It is already fortunate that I was able to avoid prison. What else can I think about?"
Ding Yijing's mother also said, "Nothing is important now. The most important thing is that he is fine. Our family of three can live a good life. This is more important than anything else."
Li Rui said, "Uncle Ding, it is best that you can think this way. Later, the District Commission for Discipline Inspection will give you a punishment for Party discipline. The District Public Security Bureau will also give you an administrative position. The final result will be that you will be stripped of all your Party positions and public positions."
Ding Zhiguo sighed deeply and said, "Alright, I can accept this. This is already a light punishment for me. I am very satisfied. I have no complaints."
Li Rui saw that he could maintain such a good attitude and secretly nodded. He said, "This is the result of your punishment. Now, I will tell you the inside story of your case …" He told him about the scheme of Zhang Zhong, the deputy mayor of the northern district, and Zhang Zujie, the captain of the second brigade of the municipal traffic police detachment.
It would have been better if the three people of the Ding family did not hear it. After hearing it, they were both shocked and angry.
Ding Zhiguo slapped his thigh angrily and cursed, "Zhang Zujie, that bastard!"
Ding Yijing's mother also cursed, "So it was a f * cking villain who played tricks. I was wondering who would report our Old Ding for no reason! This uncle and nephew surnamed Zhang are really f * cking bad people. How could they use such immoral methods? Aren't they afraid of dying and going to hell …? "
Ding Yijing was the only one who did not say a word, but layers of anger appeared on her delicate face.
Li Rui waved his hand and said, "Uncle, auntie, don't be angry. It is not worth being angry with such despicable people. Also, please don't worry. I will help you take revenge on Zhang Zhong. "
Ding Zhiguo was surprised and asked, "You will help me take revenge on Zhang Zhong? Zhang Zhong is the deputy mayor. You … how can you take revenge on him? "
Ding Yijing's mother was very smart. She interrupted, "Old Ding, you have been beaten up for a few days. Your brain is not working well. You still asked Li Rui if he can take revenge on Zhang Zhong. Use your brain and think about it. If he can save you from Zhang Zhong, why can't he deal with Zhang Zhong? Don't forget that Li Rui is the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. That is half the position of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary. How can he not deal with a small deputy mayor? "
Ding Zhiguo suddenly understood. He smiled at Li Rui in embarrassment and said, "Yes, I am really confused … Sigh, I still have to trouble you to take revenge for me. I am really …"
Ding Yijing's mother suddenly coughed. Ding Zhiguo looked at her. Ding Yijing's mother gave him a look, indicating that he should not be polite with Li Rui.
