official career

While Qin Feng was at home with Hong Yue, Wu Zhitao was drinking with Liu Xiaoping in the most luxurious hotel in Xiquan City.

"Mayor, Qin Feng came to Tai'an to see me this morning."

"Qin Feng came to Tai'an to find you? What did he want from you?" Liu Xiaoping felt curious.

"You don't know that Yi'an County has been causing trouble for us these days."

"What trouble are you looking for? Can Yi'an County bring trouble to your Tai'an County?"

"It's about the Liyang Chemical Plant."

"Li Yang's chemical plant? Tell me more specifically, what's going on?"

"Last year, wasn't his chemical plant inspected by the provincial environmental protection inspection team? On the one hand, they made superficial environmental rectifications, but privately, didn't you ask them to find a way to secretly discharge pollutants?"

"When did I say this? Is this something I can say?" Liu Xiaoping stared at Wu Zhitao.

"Yes, yes, it was Li Yang who did it privately. Li Yang thought of a way and built a secret pipe, which first passed through the back mountain and drained into the river behind the mountain. This river is a few kilometers down the mountain and is within the territory of Yi'an County."

"Yian County came to cause trouble because of this matter. It was said that all the fish in their village died and someone in the village got cancer. They found this sewage pipe."

"In the past few days, Yi'an County has been causing trouble for our Tai'an County. Yesterday, their county chief Cao Changsheng came, and today Qin Feng came to my office in person." Wu Zhitao explained the matter.

Liu Xiaoping took two puffs of his cigarette and asked, "What did you tell him?"

"This kid is so ignorant that he doesn't even know Xiquan's last name. I left him outside my office door for more than half an hour before I saw him. He was standing at the door waiting for me like a grandson." Wu Zhitao laughed.

Liu Xiaoping sneered a few times. It was obvious that Qin Feng was humiliated and he was very happy.

"He took out a huge stack of evidence and asked me to handle the matter. I told him that I didn't agree with his evidence. We investigated the Zhongyang Chemical Factory and found that there was no secret sewage discharge. The guy looked as if he wanted to eat me." Wu Zhitao exaggerated his words just to please Liu Xiaoping.

"He just left like that?" Liu Xiaoping asked.

"How could he leave? I drove him away."

"Haha, this kid really thinks he's a big shot, but he doesn't even know his own worth." Liu Xiaoping was very satisfied with Wu Zhitao's actions.

"Mayor, I'm still a little worried. I don't think Qin Feng will just let it go." Wu Zhitao came here today mainly for this matter.

"Why worry? What if he refuses to give up? Can he still cause trouble?"

"The chemical plant is in your Tai'an County, what can he do? If you say it didn't happen, then it didn't happen. Tai'an County is where you have the final say. The only thing he can do is go to the city to file a complaint. Do you think the city will stand by him?" Liu Xiaoping didn't take the matter seriously at all.

"Yes, of course I know that. I'm just a little worried about Li Yang. After the incident, I found Li Yang and asked him to stop production in the factory for a few days and not discharge sewage into the secret pipe. I don't want Qin Feng to find evidence and make a big deal out of this."

"But Li Yang refused to stop production, saying that he was very courageous recently."

"You know, Qin Feng is a fearless guy. I'm afraid he'll get pushed into a corner and make this a big deal. Plus, Li Yang doesn't want to stop construction, and the pipeline is still discharging sewage into the river. Isn't this just providing evidence for Qin Feng to make things bigger?"

"My opinion is that we should stop work for a while. As long as we stop work here and block the secret pipe, even if Qin Feng invites the king of heaven and earth to come, there will be no evidence to prove that this matter is related to the chemical plant. I think we should be conservative." Wu Zhitao persuaded Liu Xiaoping.

"Wu Zhitao, why are you so timid? You are so scared by Qin Feng? He comes to see you and you stop production? Do you know how much money Li Yang will lose if he stops production for one day? Will he agree to it?"

"It's just a small matter, so there's no need to stop production. Qin Feng can't think of any tricks."

"Give Li Yang a message and ask him to organize some people to guard the secret tube and not let anyone get close. If anyone gets close, they will be beaten to death. You should also be on guard here, mainly to guard against those media reporters who are not afraid of death."

"I will also ask Wang Jiahao to send someone to monitor the online posts about chemical plant pollution and will never allow this to be hyped up online."

"The only way Qin Feng can stir up trouble is through hype in the media or on the Internet. If he does these things well, he won't be able to cause any trouble." Liu Xiaoping said with disdain.

After Liu Xiaoping finished speaking, Wu Zhitao was completely relieved. Liu Xiaoping had indeed completely blocked Qin Feng's way.

"Mayor, I heard that the appointment of the new municipal party secretary will be announced soon?" Wu Zhitao asked.

Liu Xiaoping glared at Wu Zhitao unhappily. What he hated most recently was someone mentioning the matter of the new municipal party secretary in front of him, but Wu Zhitao was very tactless and insisted on mentioning this matter in front of him.

"What? Are you going to flatter me?" Liu Xiaoping said unhappily.

Wu Zhitao then realized that he had said something that Liu Xiaoping didn't like to hear, and quickly said, "No, no, no, Mayor, you misunderstood. You promoted me, so you are my benefactor."

"The reason I brought this up is because I'm worried that the new municipal party secretary might deny the idea of ​​transferring poverty alleviation priorities and tourism projects to our Tai'an County. I heard that the Standing Committee meeting a few days ago was postponed, and the matter will be discussed after the new municipal party secretary arrives."
