Chapter 1462 - 1462
Subsequently, accompanied by his secretary Cao Dingjun, Liu Zhizhong and his entourage donned safety helmets and entered the construction site of Baoge Group.
Cao Dingjun was extremely excited; after all, his boss was now Acting Mayor. If he truly got the position in a year or so, Cao would also be promoted.
The previous office director of the City Government who served Guan Xun might also be moved aside to make room for Cao Dingjun, which made perfect sense, haha...
However, upon entering the site today, Liu Zhizhong and the others frowned and found breathing somewhat difficult!
The site was rushing progress and the air was filled with pollution. In addition to noise pollution, air pollution, and pollution in the construction site's water were quite serious.
The air had dust and harmful gases, really pervasive everywhere.
Liu Zhizhong couldn't stand this. What's going on?
During the era of local developers in the province, environmental protection was well-managed, everything was compliant and met the standards. Now that Baoge has seized it, is it going to be this way?
Liu Zhizhong asked Cao Dingjun, "Have they stopped using all the environmental protection facilities? Are they not implementing relevant policies at all?"
Cao Dingjun smiled wryly, "It seems so; everything is just for show. Remember the time back then, hehe..."
He couldn't be too explicit because apart from his boss, there were other accompanying officials. To say it directly would mean speaking ill of Mayor Zuo Xintong, who was always chasing after the environmental issues of this construction site. There's a risk of being reported by some sneaky person if he talks behind Mayor Zuo's back.
Moreover, several project leaders of the site were also nearby!
Liu Zhizhong nodded and looked around.
This building and the nearby building were all in this state.
Not to mention that two other real estate sites not far away also looked environmentally concerning.
Then, Liu Zhizhong said, "Let's leave it here for now; we will go and check Baoge Group's other projects first."
As a result, the group immediately got into their cars and left, conducting a sweeping inspection.
After this inspection, Liu Zhizhong finally made a decision to issue a notice: all four project sites of Baoge Group would immediately stop work for rectification due to environmental issues that must be addressed. The project leaders of Baoge Group had to be individually interviewed at the City Environmental Protection Bureau, and he would personally attend, just this afternoon!
Cao Dingjun felt that Acting Mayor Liu was playing with retaliation, employing some trick, and was somewhat worried, privately saying: "Mayor Liu, wouldn't this... be somewhat inappropriate? It might offend people."
Of course, Liu Zhizhong knew that people like Cao Dingjun were all afraid of Zuo Xintong, but they didn't know that Liu Zhizhong wasn't afraid, haha...
Liu Zhizhong said, "What's inappropriate? With these conditions, how can the original residents nearby live their lives? What about the health rights of the migrant workers working on the site? We want development, but not at the expense of the people's health! Go back and issue the rectification notice. Arrange it for me! This afternoon, the site stops work immediately! Whenever the rectification is done, then resume work!"
Cao Dingjun's eyes widened, what could he do? The Acting Mayor gave instructions; he could only comply!
Other leaders, seeing this, couldn't say much either, feeling that Mayor Liu was going to tackle a tough problem?
Subsequently, Liu Zhizhong led a group of leaders back to the City Environmental Protection Bureau where they had lunch and took a short break in preparation for the afternoon's meeting with the project leaders from Dingge Group's various sites.
Upon arriving at the Environmental Protection Bureau, Liu Zhizhong gave some instructions, and the bureau began mobilizing, sending personnel to the construction sites to carry out monitoring work...
