"You finally know the hardship of the 'working people' today, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't understand the principle that 'who knows that the food on the plate, every grain is hard work.'" Zhao Desan smiled wickedly, picked up a lighter from the nightstand, touched a cigarette and lit it, blissfully savoring the feeling of being in pain yet happy just now.

"Stop being cheeky. I'm going to wash up; it won't be good if Yanran sees it by any chance." Fan Binbin smiled charmingly, got off the bed, picked up the pants she had thrown under the bed, and snuck out of Zhao Desan's room with her two snow-white, slender, beautiful legs bare. After taking a hot shower in the bathroom, Fan Binbin had already dressed when she returned to Zhao Desan's room. She walked to the bedside, leaned over, kissed him on the forehead, and said, "I'm going to sleep. You should sleep early too."

Looking at the beautiful young lady who was now fully dressed, Zhao Desan smiled with satisfaction. After watching her sneak out of his room, he smoked a cigarette alone, savoring the indescribable feeling from just now for a while. Immediately, he thought that tomorrow was Monday, and the first thing to do after going to work was to handle the exposure of the textile factory's pollution. However, he was a bit troubled now, not knowing if his waist injury would improve by tomorrow morning. He didn't want to lie in bed at this critical juncture and miss the golden opportunity to handle that matter. After guessing that it was Gao Haiping who was pulling strings behind the scenes to report the textile factory's pollution to the reporters, Zhao Desan felt that this matter could not be delayed for even a moment. Firstly, the city leaders had been closely watching how the district handled this matter, and secondly, the impact of this matter was huge. If not handled well, then as the top leader of the Chanba District, he would definitely be implicated, which would be exactly what Wang Leji and his gang wanted.

Even if my waist breaks tomorrow, I still have to go to the office, Zhao Desan swore a solemn oath in his heart.

Fortunately, Zhao Desan only injured the muscles in his waist and did not damage the bones. After applying bruise medicine twice in the evening, combined with his youth and vigor and good physical fitness, he was much better when he got up the next morning. Basically, except for not daring to do too strenuous exercise with his waist, there was no major problem.

After arriving at the office and sitting down, Zhao Desan, after careful consideration, called Director Zhao of the District Environmental Protection Bureau to his office.

"Old Zhao, after you submitted the materials that day, what did Secretary Wang say?" Zhao Desan asked. It was impossible for him to directly discuss this matter with Wang Leji, so he let Director Zhao act as an intermediary to understand Wang Leji's thoughts.

Hearing Zhao Desan ask about this, Director Zhao said with a sad face, "Secretary Zhao, Secretary Wang said this is a dereliction of duty by the Environmental Protection Bureau and told us to find a way to handle it ourselves."

Hearing Director Zhao say this, Zhao Desan realized that this old fox Wang Leji was too cunning and did not want to intervene in this matter, so as not to get himself involved. It was clear that Director Zhao was in a difficult position, but he could not shut down the textile factory according to environmental regulations.

Zhao Desan frowned and pondered for a while, then said, "Old Zhao, last Friday I contacted the reporter who reported on the textile factory's pollution. I told him that our textile factory has pollution treatment facilities, but they were stopped to save costs. I assured him that the district has ordered the textile factory to use the sewage treatment facilities. As long as the sewage treated by the facilities is used, it can definitely meet the discharge standards. I have also agreed with that reporter to let him come and interview again in the next two days to let him see the sewage we have treated."

Hearing Zhao Desan's idea, Director Zhao was stunned at first, and then said with a difficult expression, "Secretary Zhao, you are usually too busy with work, so you might not be very clear about the specific situation. As far as I know, the textile factory's sewage treatment facilities exist, but they are basically all broken. Even if they are not broken, they cannot be used normally now. It is definitely impossible to treat it to meet discharge standards."

Seeing Director Zhao's anxious look, Zhao Desan smiled as if nothing had happened and said, "Old Zhao, I have also learned about these situations, but I have thought of a way. You and the leaders of the textile factory should be very familiar with each other, right? Find a way for them to connect a clean water pipe at the sewage outlet. When the reporter comes, just turn on the clean water pipe and let him see the clean water discharged."

Hearing this method from Zhao Desan, Director Zhao couldn't help but widen his eyes. He didn't expect that a dignified district top leader would think of such a way to fool people. This was fraud! If it were exposed and spread, the impact would be far greater than the pollution exposure. Not only would his position as the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau be lost, but it might even implicate Zhao Desan himself to be held accountable by higher-level leaders. If it escalated further and was exposed by reporters again, creating public opinion pressure, I am afraid his position as acting secretary and district mayor would also be lost.

While Director Zhao was secretly surprised in his heart, he couldn't help but think that he was indeed a young man with courage. He was truly a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers, daring to do anything!

Seeing that Director Zhao did not express his opinion for a long time, Zhao Desan lit a cigarette and said, "Old Zhao, what do you think? Don't worry, nothing will happen. If something happens, I will take responsibility."

After the textile factory's secret sewage discharge was exposed, Old Zhao, as the director of the Chanba District Environmental Protection Bureau, was indeed under great psychological pressure because of this matter. Once this matter could not be perfectly resolved, he, as the leader of the competent department, would definitely be held accountable. If he really followed Zhao Desan's method and could reverse the situation after the reporter reported it again, it would also be very beneficial to him. There was no other way; now he could only treat a dead horse as a living horse. Besides, the top leader Zhao Desan had already expressed his stance that he would take responsibility if there were any problems. Since it had been said to this point, it would be unreasonable for Old Zhao not to agree.

"Okay, Secretary Zhao, then I will notify the leaders of the textile factory immediately." Director Zhao weighed the seriousness of the matter in his heart, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed to Zhao Desan's idea.

"That's fine, you first contact the leaders of the textile factory and do it according to this method." Zhao Desan nodded. Just as Director Zhao turned around, he called him back and solemnly reminded him, "Old Zhao, remember, this matter must be kept confidential and cannot be told to others."

Director Zhao nodded and hurried out of Zhao Desan's office to contact the leaders of the textile factory to arrange this matter according to his instructions.

Watching Old Zhao's back as he walked out, the corners of Zhao Desan's mouth raised a confident smile. He believed that as long as it was done according to this method and they fooled the reporter Kang Chao, this matter would be perfectly resolved. However, this matter was not as simple as the fraud and fooling people that Director Zhao understood. The reason why Zhao Desan took the risk to do this had another purpose, which was to lure out Gao Haiping.

After Director Zhao left Zhao Desan's office, he immediately called the main leaders of the textile factory and subtly hinted at what they should do in the name of the District Party Committee and District Government. Although the textile factory leaders knew that fraud was an illegal act, this was what the director of the District Environmental Protection Bureau asked them to do, and there was also the instruction from the high-level officials of the District Party Committee and District Government behind it. The purpose was also to help the enterprise cover up the problem. For the enterprise, it could not be called a good thing, but it was not a bad thing either. It was better than the result of having to stop production for rectification after the problem was exposed. The leaders of the textile factory who were responsible for this work naturally agreed in one breath and stated that everything would be ready before noon.

At noon, while eating in the District Party Committee canteen, Zhao Desan took the initiative to exchange views with Deputy Secretary Wang Leji on this matter. This old fox Wang Leji was indeed very cunning. No matter what Zhao Desan said, this old thing hid very deeply, and his answers were always ambiguous. He just refused to express his stance on how to handle this matter and kept pushing the responsibility to the District Environmental Protection Bureau.

After lunch, not long after Zhao Desan returned to the office and sat down, he received a call from Old Zhao of the Environmental Protection Bureau. Old Zhao reported the progress of the matter to him, saying that the textile factory side had already arranged it and was now waiting for the reporter to come down for an actual inspection.

Now everything was ready, only the east wind was missing, so Zhao Desan picked up his mobile phone and called Kang Chao, the reporter from Hexi New Sharp Net who reported on this matter.

"Hello."

"Reporter Kang, I am Zhao Desan, the acting secretary of Chanba District." Zhao Desan said politely and smilingly on the phone.

"It's Secretary Zhao. What can I do for you?" Kang Chao asked with a smile.

"Reporter Kang is truly a noble person who forgets things easily." Zhao Desan said with a smile, "It's the matter I talked to you about last Friday. After the timely order for rectification by our District Party Committee and District Government, the sewage discharge of the textile factory has now met the standards. When will Reporter Kang have time to trouble yourself to come down and visit?"

"Really? Then it seems that our District Party Committee and District Government attach great importance to this matter." Kang Chao said with a smile on the phone.

"Pollution is not a small problem. If it weren't for Reporter Kang's exposure, I, as a leader, wouldn't have known about it. In the past two days, under the high attention of the District Party Committee and District Government, the textile factory has been rectified. Please trouble Reporter Kang to come down and take a look."

"Then I will come over this afternoon." Kang Chao thought for a while and said.

"Then welcome, Reporter Kang. About what time?" Zhao Desan asked with a smile.

"Maybe around two or three o'clock." Kang Chao did not give a specific time, but Zhao Desan knew that it would be the time for the district to be at work when he heard him say that.

"That's fine, then I'll contact you when Reporter Kang comes over this afternoon." Zhao Desan smiled.
