Chapter 257: Deception
Li Zhejun was taken aback: "Press conference? When was it opened? ”
Tang Ying sent the ipad in his hand to him: "It opened at 11 o'clock, and it just ended." I've recorded it all, see for yourself. ”
Li Zhejun took the ipad and hurriedly clicked on the video to watch it.
Du Xiaowei also hurried over.
Obviously, this press conference was held on an ad hoc basis. As you can see from the background behind the podium, there is not even a theme banner hanging.
Although it was held on an ad hoc basis, there were quite a few reporters who came. This shows the level of media attention to this matter.
Looking at the full seats of reporters in the picture, Li Zhejun seemed to remember something.
When he got off work just now, he deliberately looked through the glass curtain wall of the office towards the gate. The reporters who had been stuck there suddenly disappeared. He thought he was going to dinner, but it turned out that he went to the Marriott Hotel. Thinking of this, he couldn't help frowning and continued to stare at the screen.
At the press conference, Wang Shijie first gave a brief explanation of the wastewater incident and the dead fish incident of Dingxin Company.
Then, he began to take questions from reporters.
A reporter asked: "Director Wang, is the dead fish in the Haizhou River related to the wastewater discharged by Dingxin Company?" ”
Wang Shijie didn't expect the reporter to ask such a tricky question as soon as he came up, thinking about Mayor Huang's explanation, he didn't dare to be careless: "I'm sorry, let me state first, the investigation of the wastewater incident is still ongoing." Therefore, whether this matter is related to Dingxin Company, we can't draw this conclusion for the time being......"
As he spoke, he coughed lightly. He took a sip from the cup on the table and continued, "I can tell you, though. The dead fish on the Haizhou River are indeed related to the wastewater discharged into the Haizhou River a few days ago. ”
Seeing this, Du Xiaowei and Li Zhejun looked at each other in unison, and they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts at the same time.
It seems that this Wang Shijie is fair and does not draw conclusions. However, he was skeptical of his later sentence.
At this time, another reporter asked: "Director Wang, since those dead fish are related to the wastewater discharged." So, does it have any impact on Haizhou's drinking water? Now citizens are afraid to use the tap water at home......"
Wang Shijie hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, because the location of the water plant is upstream of the drainage outlet...... That's what I'm trying to emphasize here, so don't worry about it! ”
"Doesn't that have any effect on the drinking water of the two cities downstream?" The reporter continued to ask.
For this problem, Wang Shijie has been prepared for a long time. So, after thinking about it for a while, he said officially: "What about this...... There may be some repercussions. However, the impact will not be great. ”
The reporter was unimpressed by his official words: "What does it mean that the impact will not be great? ”
"The two cities are hundreds of kilometers away from Haizhou, and the levels of harmful substances in the wastewater are already very low after long-distance dilution of the river water," Wang said. Therefore, the impact on downstream water quality is not very large. However, it cannot be said that there is no impact at all. ”
"Then when will the results of your investigation come out?"
Wang Shijie smiled and continued to push the ball: "This ...... We have launched a joint investigation with the police, and it depends on the progress of the police when it will end......"
The reporter was very dissatisfied with this answer, and wanted to ask more, but Wang Shijie impatiently nodded to another reporter: "Next ......"
Subsequently, Wang Shijie answered a few related questions. Then, the so-called press conference was hastily ended.
After watching the video, Li Zhejun asked Du Xiaowei.
"Xiaowei, what do you think is the purpose of the Environmental Protection Bureau's rush to hold this press conference?"
Du Xiaowei said: "Maybe you want to appease the people, right? I heard that the supermarket has run out of mineral water. ”
Li Zhejun asked Tang Ying on the side again: "You were so nervous just now, what did you think?" ”
Tang Ying smiled embarrassedly: "I'm a conditioned reflex...... These days, I'm a little nervous when it comes to news related to Dingxin. ”
Du Xiaowei pursed her lips and smiled: "Maybe, these days, my nerves have been tense!" ”
Li Zhejun nodded and returned the IAPD to Tang Ying.
After Tang Ying left, Li Zhejun said, "Let's continue to eat!" ”
Du Xiaowei said: "If you don't eat it, it's already cold." ”
Li Zhejun said with concern: "I let the chef heat it up again?" ”
Du Xiaowei shook her head: "No, I can't eat it." ”
Li Zhejun had no choice but to nod: "Okay, let's continue the topic just now......"
Du Xiaowei held her chin and thought for a while: "After watching the video just now, I want to go to the drainage outlet of the Haizhou River even more." I'm worried that the dead fish will be removed by them. ”
Lee Cheol-jun said: "I am also worried about this...... Why don't we go now? ”
Du Xiaowei said "um", stood up, grabbed the coat on the back of the chair and walked outside.
The Haizhou River outfall is less than 20 minutes' drive from Dingxin Company.
However, they were still a step too late.
The dead fish around the drain have long been cleaned up by the environmental protection department.
Looking at the rippling river, Du Xiaowei couldn't help sighing: "We're still late!" ”
Li Zhejun also nodded: "It seems that we can only go back empty-handed." ”
……
When Du Xiaowei and Li Zhejun returned to the company from the river, Jia Haoming of Tengfei Company was busy calling Zhou Junbo.
The EPA's press conference made Jia Haoming feel very annoyed.
"Vice Mayor Zhou, what does the Environmental Protection Bureau mean, how can you say that this matter has nothing to do with Dingxin Company?"
Zhou Junbo said calmly: "Isn't it still investigating, there is nothing wrong with him saying this." ”
Jia Haoming didn't expect Zhou Junbo to speak for the Environmental Protection Bureau, so he said coldly: "Vice Mayor Zhou, I want to remind you." Your account book is still in my possession, and don't forget the agreement between us. ”
Zhou Junbo also replied coldly: "You don't threaten me with account books...... This matter can only be done slowly......"
Jia Haoming said: "How to take your time? The police from the police station have already come to the door, you said you wanted to say hello, why hasn't there been any movement? I can't wait, if they find out, we won't be good-looking! ”
Hearing Jia Haoming say this, Zhou Junbo also began to lose his breath.
In this way, the police have already targeted Jia Haoming. If you continue to investigate, it is likely to be exposed. When the time comes, all kinds of things about himself and him will be revealed to the world.
So he comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I'll call the police station right away!" ”
After saying that, he hurriedly ended the call.
Putting down the phone, Zhou Junbo began to walk around the office.
He thought he would have to call the police station and ask them to terminate the investigation into the wastewater incident. However, how to make this call made him a little troubled.
After all, the public procuratorate and law are not his purview. If you intervene rashly, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of others.
Therefore, it is necessary to find a reason to look at the dignity.
With his hands behind his back, he thought about it in the office for a long time, and he didn't have a clue. At this moment, the landline on the desk rang.
It was Wang Shijie, the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, who called.
He said he had just received a call from the mayor's office. He said that Mayor Huang would go to Dacheng Industrial Park tomorrow to inspect environmental protection work and asked him to accompany him. So, I made a special call to let me know.
When Zhou Junbo heard this, his heart couldn't help sinking.
Why did Mayor Huang suddenly go to Dacheng Industrial Park to inspect? Could it be related to the wastewater incident of Tingxin Company?
If that's the case, he thought, then he's under a lot of pressure.
In case someone from the new company told him something, it would definitely be very unfavorable to Jia Haoming. And those people at the Dacheng police station, they must be shut up.
Otherwise, the consequences are severe.
Thinking of this, he immediately hung up Wang Shijie's phone.
Then, after saying hello to the secretary inside, he hurried out of the office.
Now, he didn't care about what was appropriate.
He had to call the people at the Dacheng police station right away. On the grounds that the central inspection team was coming to reduce the negative impact on society, they were asked to immediately stop investigating the waste water.
And, make an investigation report that is consistent with the EPA's conclusions.
Finally, it was implied that Mayor Huang was also concerned about this matter. So, when he comes to Dacheng Industrial Park tomorrow to inspect, you must let him see this report!
The people at the police station thought it was Mayor Huang's meaning, although they had some doubts in their hearts. However, since it is the meaning of the above, they do not dare to disobey it.
The next morning, Wang Shijie was about to go to the city hall to meet Mayor Huang. However, he received a call from his secretary, saying that Mayor Huang had temporarily decided to go to the Environmental Protection Bureau and told him not to come.
Wang Shijie was taken aback, wondering why Mayor Huang suddenly wanted to come to the Environmental Protection Bureau.
Could it be that he heard something about the wind?
That's when he thought of the fake investigative report.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. So, I hurriedly called the staff member in charge of the inspection downstairs into the office, and gave such an order.
After the arrangements were made, he led several cadres from the bureau to the door to greet them.
Half an hour later, Mayor Huang's car came.
An Audi and a Chery, light and simple. After getting out of the car, he smiled and shook hands with the greeting person, and walked directly to the building.
Wang Shijie hurriedly followed and led Mayor Huang and his entourage around various departments.
Finally, came to his office.
As Wang Shijie expected, after entering the office, Mayor Huang asked to see the inspection report on the dead fish.
Wang Shijie was glad that he had been prepared, otherwise, he would have to show his stuffing.
Mayor Huang carefully looked at the inspection report he handed over, and didn't seem to see anything wrong. "Are you sure these dead fish died by inhaling harmful substances from the wastewater?"
Mayor Huang's eyes were like torches.
Wang Shijie said: "Yes, we found a lot of harmful substances in the belly of these fish that match the composition of the wastewater. ”
Mayor Huang nodded, and said no more.
He stood up and waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go to the river and have a look!" ”
