Chapter 1575

Not long after An Dachang left, Su Xinghui was working at his desk when the phone on his desk suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and listened; it turned out to be a call from Ma Sheng.

"County Mayor Su, it's not good. The County Environmental Protection Bureau wants to shut down our Baiyun Mountain Quarry, and the two sides have even started fighting."

Su Xinghui said, "Town Mayor Ma, don't be anxious, tell me slowly if you have anything to say."

Ma Sheng's tone slowed down a bit, and he told the origin of the matter.

It turned out that today, a few people from the Environmental Protection Bureau's law enforcement brigade went to the Baiyun Mountain Quarry, saying they wanted to test whether the dust pollution of the Baiyun Mountain Quarry met the standards. The quarry manager Fan Xiaodong and production manager Lu Sancheng received them.

The current Baiyun Mountain Quarry had installed humidification and dust-reduction equipment, as well as dust-suction equipment. They also specifically bought a small sprinkler truck to sprinkle water to reduce dust in the quarry and surrounding villages. In terms of dust pollution, they had already done quite well.

Moreover, the nearest households in Baiyun Village were also more than 300 meters away from the quarry. The current amount of dust had no impact on them at all. Even so, the quarry still gave them a certain subsidy every year. In this way, Baiyun Village naturally had no opinions.

You must know that Fan Xiaodong was also the village director of Baiyun Village. In terms of coordinating relations in this aspect, he had no problems at all.

Precisely because of this, Fan Xiaodong and Lu Sancheng were very confident that they must meet the standards in environmental protection.

But unexpectedly, after the people from the Environmental Protection Bureau's law enforcement brigade took out instruments to test, they said that the dust pollution did not meet the standards and asked the quarry to stop work immediately. How could Fan Xiaodong agree to this request? Recently, several construction sites were asking him for goods. He was in short supply here, and these places asking for goods were all paying cash. It was no exaggeration to say that he was making a fortune every day.

Stopping work for one day meant a loss of tens of thousands of yuan. Since he, Fan Xiaodong, was trusted by County Mayor Su to be this manager, he had to help the town earn more money.

Fan Xiaodong then asked the people from the law enforcement brigade to issue a formal notice of suspension for rectification and provide accurate test figures to see which one did not meet the standards, so he could report to the superior leaders.

The leader of those few people, a captain surnamed Cheng, laughed and said that the matter of stopping work was easy to talk about. It was almost noon now, so why not let the brothers go to eat a working meal, drink some wine, and smoke some cigarettes? On the dining table, everything would be easy to talk about.

In Changshan County, the way some functional department people spoke was not as subtle as the people from the provincial and municipal functional departments above. If they wanted to eat, smoke, or something, they would just say it directly without beating around the bush. Speaking of which, this was also the straightforward style of the grassroots.

It just so happened that Fan Xiaodong was a straightforward person. What he couldn't stand the most was people from above coming down to inspect and asking the village for food, drink, and cigarettes. He firmly supported Su Xinghui's new reception standards. He immediately said straightly, "Sorry, Captain Cheng, the town has regulations. You can eat a working meal, but there is no wine or cigarettes. If you want to eat, just eat with the workers in our quarry's canteen."

Eat with the workers in the quarry's canteen? Captain Cheng looked at those dirty workers and had no appetite at all. Besides, there was no wine or cigarettes. Who had the patience to eat this kind of working meal?

Captain Cheng's face changed immediately, and he ordered his subordinates to pull the quarry's power switch.

Fan Xiaodong said, "Captain Cheng, you must issue a formal notice of suspension for rectification. In addition, you must test this instrument again. Let us also see the test figures on it to see if it really doesn't meet the standards."

How could Captain Cheng agree to do what Fan Xiaodong said? He asked those few people to pull the power switch. Fan Xiaodong also had a violent temper. He asked the workers to stop these people and said, "Without a formal notice of suspension for rectification and without giving us formal test data, then your pulling our switch is illegal. We have the right not to execute it."

Fan Xiaodong's words were not wrong. This kind of verbal notice of suspension for rectification was originally illegal. If the Environmental Protection Bureau's law enforcement brigade wants a company to stop work, they must issue a formal notice of suspension for rectification and attach detailed test data behind it. How could it be like Captain Cheng, who wanted to pull the switch after just saying it verbally?

Captain Cheng pointed at Fan Xiaodong and said, "You have great courage. You are obstructing us from performing official duties. Do you believe I will call the police and have you arrested?"

Fan Xiaodong said, "No matter what you say, anyway, you don't have formal procedures and don't have test data, so you don't have the power to pull our switch."

When had Captain Cheng and the others ever suffered such anger? They started cursing immediately and then started fighting. However, no matter how brave the few people in their law enforcement brigade were, how could they be the opponents of these workers? They were all injured. Fortunately, the village party secretary of Baiyun Village, Lin Baoshan, arrived at the scene, stopped the fight between the two sides, and sent Captain Cheng and the others to the town health center.

As soon as Ma Sheng heard this news, he was both angry and anxious. However, he also knew that this matter was not something he could solve. He called Su Xinghui for the first time.

After Su Xinghui heard it, he said to Ma Sheng, "Town Mayor Ma, don't be anxious first. You go to the health center and see how their injuries are. Let the town health center treat them with all their strength first, and I will handle other things."
