official career

After Xiao Wang reported to Wu Zhitao, Wu Zhitao walked into Xiao Wang's office, with a smile on his face and hypocritically extended his hand to Qin Feng: "Secretary Qin, I'm really sorry, something happened suddenly, and I had an emergency meeting. I kept Secretary Qin waiting for a long time. I'm sorry, sorry..."

As they were all old hands in the officialdom, Qin Feng did not believe a word Wu Zhitao said. Of course, Wu Zhitao also knew that Qin Feng would definitely not believe the excuses he made.

But whether he believed it or not, Qin Feng couldn't say it out loud.

Qin Feng also had a smile on his face and shook hands with Wu Zhitao: "I understand, I understand. It was my fault for coming here today to disturb Secretary Wu's work."

"Secretary Qin, your words are too polite. Come on, please. Xiao Wang, make a cup of tea and come in." Wu Zhitao "enthusiastically" invited Qin Feng to come into his office.

Zhou Liang did not follow Qin Feng into Wu Zhitao's office. He still understood the rules. Before Qin Feng entered Wu Zhitao's office, Zhou Liang handed Qin Feng's briefcase.

"Secretary Qin, please sit down!" Wu Zhitao invited Qin Feng to sit on the sofa. At this time, Xiao Wang came in with a cup of tea and placed it in front of Qin Feng, then left the office and closed the door.

"Secretary Wu, I know you are busy, so I will get straight to the point. I am here today to discuss the issue of the Zhongyang Chemical Factory in Tai'an County secretly discharging sewage into the river that connects to Shuitou Village in Yi'an County, which has caused the water source of Shuitou Village in Songshan Town, Yi'an County to be polluted."

Qin Feng already understood Wu Zhitao's attitude, so he didn't say too many polite words to Wu Zhitao, and got straight to the point right away.

"Secretary Qin, I have to interrupt you. I have heard about this matter. After your Yi'an County sent an official letter to our Tai'an County, I talked to the relevant departments and ordered them to investigate this matter immediately. They gave me a reply yesterday, saying that after their on-site investigation, they did not find any so-called hidden pipes for sewage discharge at the Zhongyang Chemical Plant."

"Secretary Qin, before the matter has been thoroughly investigated, you rashly convicted our Zhongyang Chemical Factory. Isn't this inappropriate?" Wu Zhitao said to Qin Feng with a smile.

"Secretary Qin may not know that Zhongyang Chemical Factory did have some environmental problems before and was punished by the provincial environmental inspection team. But later, the city put in 30 million yuan, our county put in 10 million yuan, and the company itself put in 60 million yuan, a total of 100 million yuan was spent on sewage treatment environmental protection transformation."

"After the renovation, it has passed the acceptance inspection of our county and city, and also the provincial environmental protection department, and has fully met the prescribed environmental protection requirements. I can responsibly tell you that there is no possibility of environmental problems at the Zhongyang Chemical Plant, and it is even more impossible for them to conduct secret pipes to discharge sewage."

"So, Secretary Qin, do you think there is a misunderstanding somewhere?" Wu Zhitao continued righteously.

This set of rhetoric had already been said by Cao Changsheng when he came to see the Tai'an County magistrate yesterday, so Qin Feng had already guessed that the other party would have such a set of rhetoric.

Qin Feng opened his briefcase, took out a stack of documents he had prepared long ago and handed them to Wu Zhitao.

"Secretary Wu, these are the photos we took on site, as well as the inspection report issued by our Environmental Protection Bureau."

Wu Zhitao casually flipped through Qin Feng's information without looking at it carefully, with a playful smile on his face.

"Secretary Qin, forgive me for being so presumptuous. This may not sound good, but please don't mind it." Wu Zhitao raised his head and said to Qin Feng.

"Secretary Wu, please feel free to speak."

"These so-called evidences were all issued by your Yian County. How should I put it? This is like a football game. If the referee and the team are from the same company, the game will no longer be fair, don't you think?" Wu Zhitao said with a smile.

Wu Zhitao seemed to be speaking in a very subtle way, but in fact he was telling Qin Feng that Tai'an County did not recognize the evidence obtained by Yi'an County.

"I disagree with Secretary Wu's point of view. This is not a competition. There is no winner or loser. I am talking about a livelihood issue, a legal issue, and a major political issue that concerns the safety of life and property of hundreds of people in Shuitou Village."

"On this issue, I believe that our Yian County Party Committee and County Government and Tai'an County Party Committee and County Government are standing on the same side and should not be so-called opponents. Secretary Wu, don't you think so?" Qin Feng also said with a smile.

"In addition, there are several photos here that clearly record the discharge of sewage into the upper reaches of the river in Tai'an County." Qin Feng pointed out several of the photos.

"Secretary Qin, even if the photos and evidence you provided are true, they cannot prove that this is the pollution discharged by the Zhongyang Chemical Factory, and they cannot prove that this so-called pollution is related to our Tai'an County."

"Secretary Qin, forgive me for saying this, but it's impossible for Yi'an County to say that we caused this kind of thing. Moreover, even if I agree with this, the people below will not agree, and the Zhongyang Chemical Factory will not admit it either."

"I think that since this incident happened in Tai'an County, we should still follow the results of our Tai'an County investigation." Wu Zhitao said with a smile.
