Chapter 1797: Solution

"Of course, I can also understand the pressure you and your Yian County are under." Duan Hongyu changed the subject again after warning Qin Feng.

"We must give justice to the people in this matter. The compensation that the Zhongyang Chemical Factory should bear must not be reduced by a single cent. There are no conditions to be discussed in this matter. I have already made this clear to Comrade Wu Yutao."

"But at the same time, this matter must not be made a big deal. For political considerations, this matter must be resolved privately, and it can only be resolved at your county level. In other words, the city will not intervene in this matter, and you two counties will negotiate and handle it yourselves. Do you understand what I mean?" Duan Hongyu said.

Qin Feng nodded and said, "I understand!"

"Before you came, the mayor called me and we both agreed. Qin Feng, I can understand the helplessness and grievances in this process, but as leading cadres, sometimes we have to suffer a little for the sake of the overall situation."

"At the same time, I also want to criticize you. You never reported this matter to the Municipal Party Committee from beginning to end. If you had reported it to the Municipal Party Committee earlier, it would not have come to this point today." Duan Hongyu criticized Qin Feng.

"Yes, I need to apologize to Secretary Duan for this." Qin Feng naturally could not argue with his leader about who was right and who was wrong.

"I will call Wu Yutao later to make the municipal party committee's attitude clear. I stand on your side in this matter. The municipal party committee supports your Yi'an County's proposal. If Tai'an County does not cooperate in the compensation negotiation process, you call me and I will personally intervene."

"At the same time, I still say that you must stop your reckless actions and thoughts. This matter can only be resolved between Yi'an County and Tai'an County, and the influence must be controlled and must not spill over."

Duan Hongyu said one more thing at the end.

Qin Feng walked out of Duan Hongyu's office.

In Duan Hongyu's office, Qin Feng looked aggrieved and unwilling, but after coming out, he smiled. This was the result Qin Feng wanted.

Qin Feng knew from the beginning that this matter must not be made a big deal, as it would completely destroy the entire Xiquan city political arena. Duan Hongyu was right, if the matter was really made a big deal, no one would be able to afford the consequences, not even the province would be able to afford it.

Qin Feng knew that he must not do this. He was just gambling. He could not accept this result, and Liu Xiaoping could not accept it even more. He was gambling on who was more afraid between him and Liu Xiaoping. But the fact proved that Liu Xiaoping was more afraid than him, and Liu Xiaoping did not dare to gamble with him.

This is just like what was said in the movie "Drawing Sword": When two brave men meet in a narrow road, the brave one wins.

Qin Feng took a car back to Yian. Not long after he arrived at the office, he received another call from Wu Yutao himself.

"Hello, Secretary Wu." Qin Feng's formal opening remarks.

"Secretary Qin, I hope I didn't disturb you at work?" Wu Yutao said with a smile, as if nothing unpleasant had ever happened between them before.

"Secretary Wu, you are too polite. No, Secretary Wu, do you have any instructions?"

"I don't know how to respond to what Secretary Qin said. This is it, Secretary Qin, the pollution caused by the Zhongyang Chemical Factory causing the pollution of your Yi'an Shuitou Village cannot be delayed any longer. I think both sides should negotiate a solution as soon as possible."

"What is Secretary Wu's opinion?" Qin Feng asked again.

"Secretary Qin, I'm on my way to Yi'an now. Let's talk about this in person."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for Secretary Wu." Qin Feng said and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Feng called Zhang Yuguang to his office.

"Wu Yutao is on his way to Yian. Please contact their county committee to see which of their people are coming. We will notify the corresponding leaders to attend."

"You go down to greet them in person, and have someone prepare in the reception room," Qin Feng made arrangements.

Qin Feng's arrangement was completely different from the last time Wu Yutao came to Yian. Zhang Yuguang guessed from Qin Feng's arrangement that it was time to resolve this matter.

"Also, you should refund your ticket to Beijing. You won't be going. Also, cancel my trip to Zhongjiang." Qin Feng instructed again.

Half an hour later, Qin Feng brought Zhang Yuguang and Executive Deputy County Mayor Deng Yong into the reception room, where Wu Yutao and several leaders from Tai'an County were already sitting there waiting for Qin Feng.

Qin Feng went over and shook hands with Wu Yutao and others in a formal manner, and then began the talks.

After a brief greeting, Wu Yutao got straight to the point and proposed a solution to the problem through negotiation.

Wu Yutao stated directly that the responsibility for this matter lies with Zhongyang Chemical Factory, and that Zhongyang Chemical Factory should compensate the people for all their losses.

Qin Feng also proposed holding a consultation meeting in Yian the day after tomorrow morning, with the participation of the governments of Yian County and Tai'an County, as well as representatives of the Zhongyang Chemical Factory and Shuitou Village villagers, to discuss and resolve this matter.

Today, Qin Feng and Wu Yutao are only here to set the tone. The specific consultations and negotiations will naturally be handled by the two governments and parties concerned.
