official career

Qin Feng did not express his opinion immediately, but turned to look at Zhang Yugang: "Yugang, tell me your opinion."

Among all the members of Yian County's leadership team, Zhang Yuguang is Qin Feng's true descendant.

"Secretary, County Magistrate, I think we should take a long-term view. We can't be so extreme, let alone take such risks." Zhang Yuguang looked at Qin Feng, then at Cao Changsheng and said.

"Since the city has clearly taken sides and is bullying Yi'an County, and we have already reported this to the city, we have done what we should do. I think we should report this to the province first."

"Doing so does indeed raise the suspicion of reporting beyond the proper level and being non-political, but we cannot be blamed for this. If the city wants to take sides, the responsibility and the blame cannot be pinned on us," said Zhang Yuguang.

"It's no use reporting this to the provincial government. What kind of serious pollution incident did the Zhongyang Chemical Factory cause in Tai'an County? Didn't it get reported to the provincial government in the end? The provincial environmental protection inspection team came in person, but what was the result? Was there any punishment? Was there any compensation? There was no fuss at all. The Zhongyang Chemical Factory was just ordered to suspend production and rectify the situation."

"Everyone knows the result of the rectification. Apart from taking the opportunity to embezzle a sum of environmental protection rectification funds from the city and Tai'an County, nothing else was done. In the end, the provincial environmental protection inspection team still passed the inspection. Can't you see the trick here?"

"Do you think it will be effective if we file a complaint with the provincial government? If the provincial environmental protection bureau comes to investigate, do you think the results of the investigation will be different from those of the municipal environmental protection bureau?"

"It is unlikely that the province will even investigate this matter first. They will only urge the city to investigate this matter again."

"If we do this, the result will be nothing but giving the municipal party committee leadership the impression that our Yian County leadership has no political principles." Cao Changsheng refuted Zhang Yuguang's opinion.

"What County Mayor Changsheng said makes sense. I don't know whether Zhongyang Chemical Factory has any connections in the province, but Liu Xiaoping does have deep connections in the province, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sit in the position of mayor. Doing so will also involve political risks, but the results will not be very good." Qin Feng also agreed with Cao Changsheng's words.

"How about we ask the media to expose it?" Zhang Yuguang made another suggestion.

"I've thought about this idea before, but it may not work at the moment. In the past two days, the villagers of Shuitou Village only posted a few videos on their own media accounts. They had very few views, but they were all taken away by the police from the Municipal Public Security Bureau and threatened to delete them."

"This is enough to show that some people in the city are now on high alert against Yi'an County and have long anticipated this. It is difficult to make a big fuss about this through the media. Similarly, we will also take a big risk if we do this. In addition, as the secretary said before, if this matter becomes a big deal, our entire Yi'an County team will also be held responsible, and the development of the entire Xiquan City and Yi'an will be affected."

“If we want to expose it to the media, it would be better to let the villagers of Shuitou Village go to Tai'an County to cause trouble. At least this incident happened in Tai'an County and the effect would be more immediate.” Cao Changsheng rejected Zhang Yuguang’s suggestion again.

After Cao Changsheng finished speaking, Zhang Yuguang fell silent.

Not only Zhang Yuguang was silent, but all three people in the office were silent. Just as Cao Changsheng had said before, this matter seemed to have reached an unsolvable situation.

"Do you two have any good suggestions?" After a moment of silence, Qin Feng asked Cao Changsheng and Zhang Yuguang again.

Cao Changsheng and Zhang Yuguang both shook their heads.

"Secretary must have a solution in mind." Zhang Yuguang said with a smile.

Zhang Yuguang's words were not meant to flatter Qin Feng, but because he followed Qin Feng all day long and had some understanding of Qin Feng's style of doing things.

Qin Feng generally doesn't fight a battle he is not sure of winning.

"Three principles. First, the county party committee and government must honor their promises to the villagers of Shuitou Village. Second, the legitimate rights and interests of the villagers of Shuitou Village must be protected, and the compensation they deserve must be paid. Third, this matter cannot be made a big deal, it cannot affect the momentum of our Yi'an County's development, and it is best not to affect the political future of you people."

"Of course, among these three principles, the first and second are the most important. If there is really no other way, the third can be abandoned."

What Qin Feng meant by abandoning the third principle was that he agreed with the two suggestions just put forward by Zhang Yu.

"But the problem now is that we simply can't do all three of these things at the same time."

"County Magistrate Changsheng, please go see Liu Xiaoping again tomorrow." Qin Feng lit another cigarette and said to Cao Changsheng.

"Still looking for it? I've said everything I need to say today, and I'm almost throwing a tantrum, but Liu Xiaoping didn't react at all. Instead, he was very dissatisfied with me. With his attitude, it won't be any use even if I look for it a hundred times."

Cao Changsheng hadn't said anything else. It was obvious that there was something fishy going on between Cao Changsheng and Zhongyang Chemical Factory, so how could he target Zhongyang Chemical Factory?

"Just listen to me and go find him. It will work."

Cao Changsheng looked at Qin Feng in confusion. He didn't know why Qin Feng was always so mysteriously confident.

"What should I say to him?" Cao Changsheng asked.

"Betray me and reveal my plan to him." Qin Feng said lightly.
