Chapter 674

Over the next two days, An Jing had already found a legal team and was preparing materials to sue McDonald's.

Meanwhile, the press conference held by the Xurisheng Company had stirred up monstrous waves over these two days, and public opinion was in an uproar.

Previously, no one paid attention to environmental pollution, nor did anyone care, but the three words "Cancer Village" were too shocking, and a large number of media reporters rushed to Chengguan Town.

In Pingyu County, all the members of the leadership team were sitting in the conference room, but the person presiding over the meeting was not the Secretary Zhang Deyou or the County Magistrate Wu Kang, but the Deputy Team Leader from Zhumadian, Cai Zhenhe.

"You've all seen the Xurisheng Company's press conference, right?" Cai Zhenhe swept his gaze over everyone with an expressionless face.

Zhang Deyou's heart was thumping; it wasn't just him, everyone present felt uneasy and very anxious.

"We saw it. We held a meeting yesterday and established a negotiation team to negotiate with Xurisheng."

Xurisheng was going to invest 200 million in Pingyu County to build a canning base, and they were truly very excited.

However, the three words "Cancer Village" had stimulated the nerves of certain people, making them both angry and afraid.

It made them develop a resistant sentiment toward Xurisheng's investment.

But they also knew that with such a large-scale investment, it was no longer up to them to decide.

Sure enough, after just one day, Cai Zhenhe had come down, and his face had been gloomy the whole time. Who the hell wouldn't be afraid?

"You don't need to worry about the negotiations with Xurisheng; the city will be responsible for that."

Cai Zhenhe's voice was a bit cold. "Immediately establish an investigation team to strictly investigate polluting enterprises in the county. Close them down if they should be closed, punish them if they should be punished, and if the circumstances are egregious and serious, prosecute them if they should be prosecuted.

If you dare to try to fool me at this time, then don't blame me for not showing you any mercy. Whoever dares to go against the wind, I will deal with them."

Everyone, including Zhang Deyou and Wu Kang, felt their hearts jump violently, almost jumping out of their throats.

Especially looking at Cai Zhenhe's gloomy face, they all knew that this was absolutely not just to scare them.

Zhang Deyou immediately guaranteed: "Please rest assured, leader, we will definitely give the Xurisheng Company a clean investment environment."

Cai Zhenhe's expression softened a little: "Also, establish an expert team to go to the Cancer Village to investigate. If those villagers suffering from cancer were truly caused by pollution, the government must take responsibility where it should.

Also, the heads of departments who are inactive or passing the buck must be dealt with to give the common people an explanation. Otherwise, where is the credibility of our government? How can the common people continue to believe in us?"

Sweat broke out on Zhang Deyou's forehead, and Wu Kang, who hadn't spoken the whole time, also had sweat beads on his temples.

"Understood!" Zhang Deyou swallowed hard. "I will personally handle this matter."

"Then that's it!" Cai Zhenhe stood up and left, because he was personally serving as the team leader for the negotiations with Xurisheng, and he had to leave tomorrow.

Cai Zhenhe's departure made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and the oppressive atmosphere in the conference room suddenly vanished.

Only the Deputy County Magistrate Ceng Rong had a body that remained tense, and his face was a bit pale.

Wu Kang said in a deep voice: "Old Zeng, you are responsible for the paper mill matter."

Ceng Rong was stunned, then nodded gratefully: "Rest assured, I know what to do."

Wu Kang picked up a cigarette and lit it: "The compensation promised to the beverage factory hasn't been paid yet. You must get the paper mill to transfer the money as soon as possible. Also, regarding the Cancer Village, once the investigation is confirmed, the paper mill must also be responsible for the compensation. There absolutely cannot be any discount on this matter."

Zhang Deyou picked up his teacup, wanted to drink, but then put it down again: "Two hundred million to build a canning base—this is the largest investment in our city's history.

Not just the city, I estimate the province will also attach great importance to it, especially since this canning base will bring a large number of employment opportunities to our county. Everyone must pay attention; there absolutely cannot be any mistakes.

If something really goes wrong and this investment runs away, it won't just be you; even I will have to suffer the consequences."

Zhang Deyou looked at Wu Kang: "Is there anything else to say?"

Wu Kang shook his head: "No!"

"Then good!" Zhang Deyou stood up. "Meeting adjourned. After you go back, take action immediately."

Ceng Rong looked at everyone, stood up, and left quickly. As for the others, they also left with their own thoughts.

The paper mill owner, Xie Guanghe, didn't know what had happened yet; at this moment, he was in his office, holding the secretary he had just hired.

"Oh my!" The coquettish secretary gave a coy cry, sat on Xie Guanghe's lap, and twisted hard. "Factory Director, can you be a bit more honest? Don't always be touching and feeling."

Xie Guanghe laughed out loud: "I'm only touching with my hands, where am I touching with my feet? You're talking nonsense!"

This woman pretended to twist again, pouting her bright red lips: "Annoying!"

*Slap! * Xie Guanghe raised his hand and patted the woman on the thigh. "If you keep twisting around like this, I won't be polite anymore; I'll have to 'bring you to justice' right here."

The woman blinked her watery eyes, wrapped her arms around Xie Guanghe's neck, and her voice was so cloying it was unbearable.

"Master, I'm still young, you can't bully me."

Xie Guanghe laughed out loud again. This woman wasn't actually young, but she knew how to act coquettishly, and Xie Guanghe really liked that.

"You little vixen, are you hungry? Are you deliberately seducing me?"

"Annoying!" The woman twisted around uncooperatively.

Xie Guanghe gasped; the little vixen twisting like this really made him unable to bear it.

"Since you're hungry, I'll satisfy you." Saying this, he picked the woman up and placed her on the desk.

"Master, what do you want to do? No, don't, don't."

This woman shouted "don't" with a panicked face, protecting her chest with both hands in resistance, while a look of triumph flashed in her eyes.

*Riiip! *

The woman's clothes were violently torn open by Xie Guanghe, and the woman let out a loud scream.

"Don't, don't!"

The more she acted like this, the more excited Xie Guanghe became. Soon, the woman was stripped bare.

"Hehehe..."

Xie Guanghe laughed, and just as he was about to make a move, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Inside the office, it suddenly fell into silence. Immediately after, the woman let out a sharp scream—this wasn't faked; she was truly frightened. She hurriedly picked up the torn clothes on the table to cover her vital parts.

Xie Guanghe wanted to get angry, but when he saw who it was, his anger vanished instantly.

Ceng Rong was already in a bad mood, and seeing the situation in the office, his expression became even worse, and he roared at the woman.

"Get out!"

The woman trembled in fear, tears swirling in her eyes, and she hurriedly put on her pants and ran out, clutching her chest.

Xie Guanghe showed a forced smile: "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

"What's wrong?" Ceng Rong said, feeling that iron couldn't be turned into steel: "Disaster is imminent, and you still have the heart to play with women here."
