official career

Cao Changsheng waited in Liu Xiaoping's secretary's office for more than an hour, but Liu Xiaoping did not let Cao Changsheng into the office.

"Director Li, please help me report to the mayor. Just say that Qin Feng is about to go crazy, and ask the mayor to find a way to stop him. It is extremely urgent, and it will be too late if we don't stop it." Cao Changsheng finally said to the secretary.

"County Magistrate Cao, is this... so serious?"

"You should go quickly, otherwise something serious will happen."

Seeing that Cao Changsheng's words were so serious, the secretary did not dare to delay and hurried into Liu Xiaoping's office to report.

"County Magistrate Cao, the mayor wants you to go in now."

Cao Changsheng didn't dare to delay and hurried into Liu Xiaoping's office next door.

"Hello, Mayor." Cao Changsheng walked into Liu Xiaoping's office.

"Cao Changsheng, tell me, what is extremely urgent? What is something that will be too late if we don't stop it now? If you don't tell me the reason today, I will make you pay." Liu Xiaoping looked at Cao Changsheng coldly.

"Mayor, the matter is indeed extremely urgent. If it weren't for the emergency, I wouldn't have come to disturb you."

"What happened?"

"Qin Feng is going crazy. You have to stop him quickly, otherwise he will poke a hole in the sky." Cao Changsheng said anxiously.

"Qin Feng? Pierce the sky? What does he want to do to make the sky pierce? Does he have the ability to do so? If you have something to say, just tell me first. What is it?" Liu Xiaoping said disdainfully.

"Yes, Mayor, this is what happened. Yesterday afternoon, the villagers of Shuitou Village started making trouble again. More than 200 people gathered and planned to go to Tai'an County to smash and destroy the Zhongyang Chemical Factory and the Tai'an County Public Security Bureau..."

"How bold! Are they preparing to rebel?" Liu Xiaoping slammed the table angrily.

“Yes, yes, I rushed over with people from the Yi’an County Public Security Bureau and stopped them. It took a long time of ideological work to stop them. But the villagers’ anger could not be suppressed at all. To be honest, our job is difficult. If we don’t give the villagers an explanation, it may be difficult to suppress their anger in the next step.”

"Just this? This is what you call a matter of utmost urgency? If you can't even handle this matter, what do you think you are doing as the county magistrate, Cao Changsheng? What do you think Qin Feng is doing?"

"I'm telling you, Cao Changsheng, poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. You can't just say that you just cooperate with these unruly people. What will happen if this continues? Is there still law?"

"According to investigations, the pollution in Shuitou Village is completely untrue. If there are fish dying in the pond, it's because they didn't raise them well. If they get cancer, they blame it on the pollution from the nearby chemical plant. Is that fair?"

"You, the Yi'an County government, need to show some courage and arrest those who need to be arrested and suppress those who need to be suppressed. This kind of evil trend cannot be encouraged."

"I tell you, if you dare to let a villager from Shuitou Village go to the chemical plant to cause trouble, and dare to make this matter bigger, I will be the first to punish you, Cao Changsheng, and your Yian County Party Committee and County Government will bear full responsibility." Liu Xiaoping said sternly, knocking on the table.

Listening to Liu Xiaoping's unreasonable remarks, Cao Changsheng sneered in his heart, but on the surface he kept nodding and saying yes.

"Mayor, that's not what I want to talk about."

"So what do you want to talk about?"

"After this incident happened, Comrade Qin Feng came to my office last night to discuss the solution to this matter. It was after hearing his solution that I became extremely anxious and could not sleep all night. I came to see you early this morning." Cao Changsheng said vividly.

Liu Xiaoping frowned and asked, "What solution did he come up with? How is he going to solve this problem?"

"He cursed the city government for confusing right and wrong and taking human lives lightly..."

"Alright, alright, I know what kind of person he is. Today I'm not here to listen to you talk about how he curses people. First of all, I want to tell you what he is going to do and what he means by "extremely urgent." Liu Xiaoping interrupted Cao Changsheng impatiently.

"First, he plans to go to the province to file a complaint himself."

"That's it? Complaint? What complaint? Complaint against me or against the municipal government? The investigation into this matter has been very clear, what is he complaining about? It's lawless, reporting across the chain of command, does he still have the municipal party committee and government in his eyes? Does he think the province will listen to his one-sided story?" Liu Xiaoping said again with disdain.

"He has evidence."

"What evidence?"

"Before the city's Environmental Protection Bureau went down to investigate, he had already asked several third-party testing agencies in the province to test the pollution in Shuitou Village. These testing agencies are authoritative agencies with legal effect. Now the test reports have been obtained, which can prove that the pollution in Shuitou Village was indeed caused by the Zhongyang Chemical Factory."

"Moreover, Qin Feng did not follow the normal procedures to report to the province. He planned to take all the evidence and the blood letter from the villagers of Shuitou Village to complain to the governor." Cao Changsheng said in a serious tone.

"Blood letter? Governor?" Liu Xiaoping became a little uneasy when he heard this.

"You mean Qin Feng has already collected evidence in advance and asked an authoritative agency in the province to conduct testing?" Liu Xiaoping asked.
