Chapter 1942

Su Xinghui thought for a while and planned to transfer Li Zhongwen to the Management Committee, letting Li Zhongwen serve as the Director of the Party and Government Office of the Management Committee. This could also be considered as increasing the strength of the Management Committee. In the future, as he slowly discovered talent in his work, he could just transfer them here.

Su Xinghui frowned, thought for a while in the office, then went out to call Pan Sheng and went with him to see the few enterprises in the Economic Development Zone.

The Economic Development Zone Management Committee did not have a car of its own. The car that Luo Chuanyong drove before was borrowed from an enterprise. Now that Luo Chuanyong had left, that car had been returned to that enterprise. Su Xinghui drove the Mercedes-Benz of Yu Ruizhi today.

However, this Mercedes-Benz was too conspicuous. Su Xinghui planned to buy a new car for the Economic Development Zone, a Santana would do, for daily transportation. Otherwise, it would be too inconvenient in work.

The Management Committee was at the east end of the Economic Development Zone. Su Xinghui and Pan Sheng drove the car to the west end. The roads in the Economic Development Zone were relatively wide, but the road conditions were not very good, and the road was full of potholes. From time to time, you could see large trucks carrying stones driving from the west to this side.

The terrain of Chongjin County was really quite similar to Shangjun County, both flat in the east and with some hills and low mountains in the west. Therefore, there were still quite a few quarries in the west. The large trucks from these quarries had damaged the roads over time. However, the financial situation of Chongjin County was not good, and there was no money to thoroughly renovate them, so this road became like this.

Su Xinghui prepared to go to the few townships in the west when he had time to solve this problem as well. Otherwise, the destructive power of these large trucks on the roads was too great. If this problem was not solved well, this road would never be repaired.

Although the road conditions were not good, Su Xinghui still saw a few smoking factories in less than two minutes, and he also smelled a pungent odor, which was the smell of chemical products, even more unpleasant than rotten eggs, and it could be smelled within a radius of one or two kilometers.

Fortunately, this place was all designated as the territory of the Economic Development Zone, and those residents had been moved away. Otherwise, how could people live in such a place?

Su Xinghui asked: "Has it always been this smell here?"

Pan Sheng nodded and said: "Yes, in order to produce more products, the bosses here work in three shifts. People stop but the machines don't. Basically, it's this smell all day long, unless the machine is broken and needs to be repaired, it will stop."

Su Xinghui stopped the car at the gate of a factory with a sign of Changqiao Chemical Plant. Pan Sheng went up to call the door, only to see a fierce big wolfhound rushing over from the courtyard, rushing towards Pan Sheng. Fortunately, separated by the iron gate, it could only scratch on the iron gate and bark wildly, but it couldn't bite Pan Sheng.

Pan Sheng shouted: "Old Wang, take your dog away."

An old man came out slowly from the guard room. Seeing that Pan Sheng had come, he roared at the dog twice, pulled the dog to one side, tied it to a pillar, and then opened the door and said: "Cadre Pan is here. What's the matter today?"

Pan Sheng and Su Xinghui entered the door together, and he said: "This is our County Magistrate Su. Now the Economic Development Zone is also under his management. You hurry up and call your Boss Chen out."

Old Wang said: "Boss Chen is currently in the workshop. There will be a pot of products coming out soon. He doesn't have time to come out now."

Pan Sheng said to Su Xinghui: "The pot he mentioned is the reaction kettle. Now the reaction kettle is about to produce products. Boss Chen is a technician. He must closely monitor the temperature and pressure of the reaction kettle. It is indeed impossible to leave now."

Su Xinghui said: "Then let's go to the workshop to see."

Pan Sheng said: "Otherwise, let's wait here. The smell in the workshop is heavier, and it is also dangerous."

Su Xinghui said: "It's okay, just for a while, how big can it be?"

Pan Sheng had no choice but to take Su Xinghui to the workshop. In fact, this Changqiao Chemical Plant was not large in area, only more than ten mu in total. Except for a three-story office building and dormitory building, there was a workshop and two

warehouses. Behind the workshop was a large piece of wasteland.

This workshop covered an area of about one mu. As soon as he entered the workshop, Su Xinghui felt a heat wave rushing towards him. It was almost November, and these days had been cloudy, and the weather outside was still relatively cool. But after entering the workshop, it was like the dog days of summer.

There were a few workers in the workshop, all shirtless and sweating profusely. Coupled with that pungent odor, this place was really not a place for people to stay. But they were calm and composed, obviously they were already used to it.

An iron frame was set up at the east end of the workshop, on which a huge reaction kettle was installed. Next to the temperature and pressure gauge, a middle-aged man was watching the numbers on the gauge with full attention, and would adjust it from time to time.

Pan Sheng whispered: "Looking at this, it is estimated that a pot of products is about to come out, probably in about half an hour. This pot of products is worth more than 100,000. If there is an operational error, the product will be scrapped at best, and it will explode at worst. So it is impossible to disturb him now. I think we should go out and wait for him first."

Su Xinghui nodded and went out with Pan Sheng.

After going out, Su Xinghui did not wait in the office. He wandered to the back of the workshop and saw a sewage pipe at a glance. One end of the sewage pipe extended into a pool, and the pool was covered with wooden boards.

Su Xinghui walked to the side of the pool and lifted a wooden board. The scene inside was shocking. I saw that the pool was not even brushed with cement, and the pool was full of black turbid water, and yellow foam was surging on the water surface, and the smell made people want to vomit.

At the other end of the pool, a ditch was dug, and the black water flowed along the ditch to the wasteland behind. Su Xinghui put down the wooden board and walked along the ditch to the wasteland behind, and Pan Sheng also followed behind.

This wasteland behind was full of various weeds and shrubs, but in the area of about half a meter on both sides of this ditch, there was no grass growing.

Su Xinghui walked all the way to the courtyard wall and saw a hole in the courtyard wall, and the sewage ditch went out from this hole.

Su Xinghui asked: "Pan Sheng, what is that place behind?"

Pan Sheng said: "That behind is a small lake."

Su Xinghui said: "That is to say, the sewage here was discharged into the lake without any treatment?"

Pan Sheng nodded silently.

Su Xinghui only felt a flame rising in his heart. He was somewhat furious. Is this an enterprise in the Economic Development Zone? What is the use of such an enterprise?
