Chapter 407: Someone is Deliberately Dragging Their Feet!

Hanzhou Television and the newspaper sensed a "dinosaur blood" news gimmick and conducted an in-depth interpretation of the ins and outs of this matter.

Immediately following this, the Huainan Provincial Television and the provincial daily newspaper also reported on it one after another!

An unexpected safety accident had unbelievably turned into positive publicity for cross-regional rescue efforts by the health system!

The reports were filled with moving details of medical staff performing a race against time to carry out a relay, and the blood station breaking through layers of obstacles to urgently dispatch supplies for the sake of a single life.

In the television news, a shot of Tang Ye even flashed by!

Director Gao saw this report and immediately dialed Cheng Lin's phone number.

"The day we went to Suiyuan for the inspection, Little Tang said he had something urgent to attend to. Could it have been to handle this accident?"

Although the report packaged the incident as a heartwarming story between doctors and patients, it exposed the hidden circumstances of the day of the inspection.

Cheng Lin had no intention of hiding anything.

"There was something suspicious about that day's accident; the tower crane's hoist rope had clear signs of human sabotage."

Director Gao understood what Cheng Lin meant, frowned, and asked, "Is someone trying to obstruct Suiyuan from applying for the National Level Project?"

"There is no direct evidence at the moment, but this possibility cannot be ruled out. It was our lack of consideration that we didn't report it in time that day; I ask for your understanding."

"You handled it very decisively. The accident didn't cause any casualties, but instead demonstrated your crisis management capabilities—this won't deduct points for you, but rather, it's a plus."

Cheng Lin's voice carried a hint of warmth: "Thank you for your understanding."

"The province will fully support Suiyuan in applying for the National Level environmental protection project," Director Gao's attitude was firm, "If you need help, just speak up at any time."

Cheng Lin hurriedly thanked him with a smile, "If I have a need, I will definitely come to you."

After hanging up the phone, Director Gao walked to the window, looked at the endless stream of vehicles downstairs, and fell into deep thought.

Dozens of cities across the country were competing for this National Level Project; it was no easy feat for Suiyuan to stand out from the competition relying on the forward-looking vision of a project proposal.

This was not only a key opportunity for Suiyuan's development.

It was also a significant stroke in his political achievement record!

……

For an accident to inexplicably occur at the construction site at a critical moment, there must be a problem.

Tang Ye felt that this matter could not just be left at that; it still had to be investigated further.

So he dialed Wan Ming's phone number.

"There is a problem with the environmental rectification accident at the Industrial Park. You must arrange for personnel to investigate and ensure that the source of the trouble is found and the hidden danger is cut off before the National Development and Reform Commission comes for research."

"Environmental rectification is a good thing that benefits Suiyuan. What do they gain by doing this?"

"Environmental rectification does not conform to everyone's interests. Some people are afraid that the new plan will smash their old calculations."

"But they can't use human lives as bargaining chips. If there hadn't been timely treatment, that would have been a living human life."

"That is why it must be investigated clearly." A grave look appeared in Tang Ye's eyes, "The path Suiyuan is taking is not something a few people can stop like a mantis trying to block a chariot. No matter how they stir things up, the grand trend of the Industrial Park's transformation and upgrading is something no one can stop."

……

After hanging up on Wan Ming, Tang Ye called for the Liaison Officer Lin Heng.

They headed to the Industrial Park to inspect every environmental protection project construction site.

Although he knew that the accident might have involved human factors, he was still uneasy about the safety of the construction site.

After the inspection, the security measures at several construction sites were all in place.

Safety responsibility agreements had been signed at every level, rules and regulations had been formulated, and safety personnel had been implemented; measures such as fall prevention, fire protection, and deep foundation pit protection were also being executed very well.

Tang Ye actually knew that this incident where a worker was hit and injured really had nothing to do with the construction unit.

He was just about to leave the construction site.

Nie Kai walked toward him with law enforcement officers from the Safety Production Supervision Administration.

Nie Kai was somewhat surprised to see Tang Ye, "County Magistrate Tang, you are here too! Safety is the lifeline of production. I suggest that all environmental protection renovation sites stop work immediately; we must find out the cause of the accident before work can resume."

Tang Ye frowned and explained patiently, "I just inspected all the construction sites, and the construction unit's safety procedures have no problems. That accident was an unexpected situation."

Nie Kai's tone was extremely serious, "Not a single safety accident has occurred at any of Suiyuan's construction sites this year. This accident at the Industrial Park indirectly indicates management negligence. County Magistrate Tang, you are in charge of the Industrial Park; you cannot blindly pursue political achievements and forget the fundamentals."

Tang Ye was lectured by Nie Kai and felt angry inside.

Nie Kai's current behavior was a bit like kicking someone when they were down!

No one wanted to see an accident happen.

But he was taking a minor issue and blowing it out of proportion, trying to make a big deal out of it.

"County Magistrate Nie's words are unfair. The Provincial Development and Reform Commission is taking the lead in promoting Suiyuan's application for a National Level environmental protection project. What you are denying is not just our work, but the deployment of leaders at the provincial and municipal levels. According to what you say, could it be that they are also 'messing around'?"

Tang Ye was quite good at pinning labels on people!

Nie Kai was choked until his face turned livid, and a cold sneer tugged at the corner of his mouth.

He thought to himself, so many places in Hanzhou have never received National Level policy support.

Was Tang Ye thinking about this matter too simply?

"According to regulations, if an accident occurs at a construction site, it must be rectified. This is a hard requirement; County Magistrate Tang should understand."

Nie Kai was determined to use this matter to embarrass Tang Ye!

Tang Ye tried to reduce the degree of punishment for the enterprise, so he softened his tone, "Executive Nie! Let's skip the rectification. I think we should just impose a fine; otherwise, it will really affect the project progress."

Nie Kai remained extremely forceful, "Not only must there be a fine, but there must also be rectification. After the rectification is finished, it must pass an inspection before work can resume."

The person in charge of the construction site was at his wit's end at this moment, "Fine, we accept the punishment. We will definitely pay attention in the future and will not let this kind of thing happen again."

Nie Kai put on a cold face, "If another accident happens, you won't be working in Suiyuan anymore."

The person in charge nodded bitterly like a chick pecking at rice.

Seeing that Nie Kai was completely impossible to communicate with, Tang Ye turned and left with a dark face.

A sense of satisfaction welled up in Nie Kai's heart.

……

Tang Ye had witnessed the extent of Nie Kai's disgusting nature!

He had never felt so angry and helpless!

He had his heart set on doing some real work.

But, there were people within the team deliberately holding him back!

Of course, upon careful reflection, this was something often encountered in officialdom!

Tang Ye wore a bitter expression as he pondered how to handle it.

At this moment, Jiang Jing called Tang Ye.

"What exactly is going on with the safety issues of the environmentally friendly construction?"

Tang Ye took the opportunity to pour out his grievances.

"Mayor Jiang, has someone reported this to the city? Nie Kai had the Safety Supervision Department issue a rectification notice to the construction site. Isn't this just creating obstacles on purpose?"

Jiang Jing understood what Tang Ye meant, and after a moment of thought, she made a decision.

"Every construction site will have safety hazards. Since someone is only injured now, the problem isn't big. I will call Gao Hong later and have the enterprise issue a self-inspection report; there is no need to stop production."

Tang Ye breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Mayor Jiang. I promise you that such things will absolutely not happen again in the future."

Jiang Jing's tone was grave, "At this critical moment, we should be united against outsiders. Someone is trying to shake our morale through petty tricks; once the matter has settled, we will certainly pursue this to the end."
