Chapter 2108

On this day, Pang Xingjie caused a mess in the Economic Development Zone.

He came to the Economic Development Zone to personally conduct an investigation on Jiang Zhiqing, the director of the Economic Development Zone Management Committee, because this matter of Su Xinghui happened in the Economic Development Zone. Jiang Zhiqing is Su Xinghui's confidant, and he was the deputy director of the Environmental Protection Bureau before. The decision to shut down these few enterprises was made by him.

Combining the above factors, Pang Xingjie felt that Jiang Zhiqing must know the inside story of this matter very well, and he wanted to open a breakthrough from Jiang Zhiqing.

Although Jiang Fangping only wanted to knock Su Xinghui, if he, Pang Xingjie, could get ironclad evidence of Su Xinghui's bribery, then he could not only better knock Su Xinghui but also show his, Pang's, ability.

Of course, Pang Xingjie would never admit that he was working so hard because he didn't like Su Xinghui.

After meeting with Jiang Zhiqing, Jiang Zhiqing was still very polite to Pang Xingjie. He respectfully called out Director Pang and sat on the sofa opposite Pang Xingjie.

Pang Xingjie said seriously, "Comrade Jiang Zhiqing, you should know what I am looking for you for today, right?"

Jiang Zhiqing shook his head and said, "I don't quite understand."

Pang Xingjie said, "How can you not understand? I am the leader of the Provincial Party Committee investigation team. I came, of course, to understand some situations from you."

Jiang Zhiqing said, "Then please ask, Director Pang. I will definitely not hide the situation I know."

Pang Xingjie said, "You must answer the questions we ask truthfully. Your answers will all be recorded, and you must be responsible for these transcripts."

Jiang Zhiqing nodded calmly and said, "I know."

Pang Xingjie said, "Comrade Jiang Zhiqing, I heard that before you served as the director of the Chongjin County Economic Development Zone Management Committee, you were the deputy director of the Chongjin County Environmental Protection Bureau?"

Jiang Zhiqing nodded and said, "Yes."

Pang Xingjie said, "The four enterprises, including Changqiao Chemical Plant, were all shut down through your hands?"

Jiang Zhiqing still nodded very calmly and said, "Yes."

Pang Xingjie said, "Then what basis did you have for shutting down these few enterprises? Whose consent did you go through?"

Jiang Zhiqing said, "These few enterprises violated regulations in sewage discharge and violated relevant national regulations. We had issued rectification notices to them, notified them several times to rectify the violations, but they turned a deaf ear. Finally, we had no choice but to shut them down according to relevant national regulations. Before shutting them down, we had asked the County Government for instructions."

The thing that gave Pang Xingjie a headache was here. At that time, before shutting down those few enterprises, Su Xinghui made a collective decision through the County Magistrate's Office Meeting. In such matters, Su Xinghui was still very cautious. And at that time, those few enterprises had no backing, and no one would spend great effort to protect them, so it was passed very smoothly at the County Magistrate's Office Meeting.

Since it was a collective decision and complied with relevant national regulations, what was Su Xinghui's mistake? That bribery of 100,000 was simply something that didn't exist.

However, Pang Xingjie was not prepared to give up. He asked, "Comrade Jiang Zhiqing, was the shutdown of these few enterprises greeted by a certain leading comrade in the county?"

Jiang Zhiqing shook his head and said, "No one greeted me. Inspecting and shutting down these few enterprises were all fulfilling our normal duties, with complete procedures, and in compliance with national regulations. No one needed to greet me."

Pang Xingjie said, "Really no one greeted you?"

Jiang Zhiqing still shook his head and said, "No."

Pang Xingjie said sternly, "Comrade Jiang Zhiqing, you must know that the Provincial Party Committee is very serious about this investigation. We will not shield or tolerate anyone who violates discipline and law. If you want to shield anyone, that won't work. You yourself will also be responsible. Think again, is there anyone who greeted you?"

Jiang Zhiqing asked calmly, "Director Pang, who exactly do you want me to bite? You can just say his name directly."

This made Pang Xingjie furious: "Jiang Zhiqing, what kind of attitude is this? Do you still have any organizational principles? Is this your attitude towards the inquiry from the organization?"

Jiang Zhiqing said, "Director Pang, I think my attitude has always been very good. On the contrary, you, your attitude is very bad now. You asked if anyone greeted me, and I have already answered no, but you asked repeatedly. What does this mean? Isn't this inducing a confession? Then if I don't say it like that, what can I say?"
