Chapter 1784: Certain Economic Losses

Qin Feng took people to the site to investigate the progress of the tourism projects. Qin Feng attached great importance to several major projects in Yian County. He would listen to work reports every week and would go to the site to investigate the progress once every month or so.

Qin Feng's field research this time was very thorough and lasted the entire morning. It was almost twelve o'clock when Qin Feng returned to the county party committee.

Wu Yutao and others waited in the reception room for a whole morning. During this period, except for the staff who came in twice to refill the tea, no one else came in.

At first, Wu Yutao sat in the reception room waiting calmly. He understood that Qin Feng was retaliating for his last neglect.

However, Wu Yutao did not expect that Qin Feng would leave him here for the entire morning. He wanted to leave several times, but thinking about the matter of the Zhongyang Chemical Plant, he finally held back.

If Qin Feng really did what he said, the matter of Zhongyang Chemical Plant would definitely be exposed. He didn't know whether Liu Xiaoping would be implicated and fall, but he, Wu Yutao, would definitely be the first to be pushed out to take the blame.

"Secretary, it's almost twelve o'clock." Cui Qiuliang, who had been feeling restless for a long time, said to Wu Yutao.

"Wait!" Wu Yutao said only one word.

"How about we go out and find a place to eat? At this rate, there's no way Yi'an County will host us for dinner."

"You won't starve to death if you skip a meal." After saying this, Wu Yutao closed his eyes and pretended to doze off.

Wu Yutao had already said this, so Cui Qiuliang naturally didn't dare to say anything else, although he was already filled with anger.

Just then, Zhou Liang walked into the reception room again with a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry to have kept Secretary Wu waiting for so long."

"It's okay. Is Secretary Qin back?" Wu Yutao said with a smile.

"Secretary Qin just came back and is waiting for Secretary Wu in the office."

"Okay, please lead the way, Director Zhou." Wu Yutao stood up.

Wu Yutao didn't care, but Cui Qiuliang was very unhappy. Qin Feng had left them here for the whole morning, and now that he came back he didn't come to the reception room to see Wu Yutao, but instead called Wu Yutao to his office. This was too much of a show.

Of course, Cui Qiuliang only dared to complain in his heart.

Zhou Liang brought Wu Yutao to the door of Qin Feng's office, pushed open the door, and invited Wu Yutao in.

"Secretary Qin, I'm sorry to have come here and disturbed your work." Wu Yutao walked into Qin Feng's office with a smile.

When Qin Feng saw Wu Yutao coming in, he also stood up from his office chair and walked over very "enthusiastically" to shake Wu Yutao's hand.

"Of course, it is a great honor for us to have Secretary Wu come to Yi'an. Secretary Wu, come, come, please have a seat."

"Secretary Wu, I'm really sorry. Today's investigation was confirmed a long time ago and I really can't postpone it. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time." Qin Feng pulled Wu Yutao to sit down and explained with a smile.

"This is my fault. I didn't inform Secretary Qin in advance before I came here."

"Zhou Liang, go get the box of the best tea from my shelf and make tea for Secretary Wu." Qin Feng directed Zhou Liang.

Zhou Liang nodded, smiled, ran into his office, made a cup of reception tea and handed it to Wu Yutao.

"Secretary Wu, you have come here from afar today because of something important, right?" Qin Feng asked Wu Yutao straight to the point.

"It's like this, Secretary Qin. I have two purposes for coming here today. The first purpose is to apologize to Secretary Qin in person." Wu Yutao said.

"Oh? Apologize? Why would Secretary Wu say that?" Qin Feng continued to play dumb.

Wu Yutao cursed all the women in Qin Feng's family in his heart, but on the surface he still spoke to Qin Feng seriously.

"The last time Secretary Qin came to Tai'an, he mentioned to me the issue of Zhongyang Chemical Factory discharging sewage through secret pipes. My response to Secretary Qin was that the investigation results of our Tai'an County department showed that this did not happen. Later, the city also conducted an investigation, and the results of the investigation also showed that this did not happen."

"But I still attach great importance to this issue, so I recently asked our relevant departments to form a joint investigation team, led by one of our deputy county chiefs, to conduct another investigation."

"The results of this investigation show that Zhongyang Chemical Factory did conduct secret sewage discharge activities behind the government's back."

"So today I came to apologize to Secretary Qin for this matter, to apologize to Secretary Qin for my last remarks, and to apologize for our poor supervision, which led to the private discharge of pollutants by enterprises and caused losses to the people of Tai'an County."

After all, he is a leader, and his words sound very high-sounding and no one can find any fault with them.

"Secretary Wu, if you say you're sorry, it would be too heavy. I said it last time that we are just discussing the facts and it's all about work." Qin Feng said with a smile. Of course, his smile was superficial.

"The second purpose of my visit today is to discuss with Secretary Qin how to deal with this matter. I have learned that the private discharge of pollutants by Zhongyang Chemical Plant has caused certain economic losses to the villagers of Shuitou Village, Songshan Town, Yian County." Wu Yutao continued.
