Chapter 254 Issue 1 (3)
"Have you watched TV? It's the urban channel, 'Questioning Haizhou'. It's awesome!"
"Those officials are so dumbfounded by the questions."
Countless Haizhou locals communicated on WeChat and phone, spontaneously promoting the "Haizhou Political Affairs Column."
Some young people, because of Jiang Ningyue's reputation, also turned on the TV and chose the Haizhou Metropolitan Channel.
Sun Wanghai is a recent college graduate who is unemployed and preparing for the civil service exam at home. He saw that his junior high and high school classmates were sharing this live broadcast on their WeChat Moments, so he clicked in to watch it.
After seeing that the program was being broadcast live on the urban channel, he immediately ran to the living room.
At this time, Sun Wanghai's parents were watching the TV series "I Bet There's No Bullet in Your Gun". "You've watched this TV series so many times, why are you still watching it?"
Mother Sun looked at Sun Wanghai suspiciously, "What are you going to do?"
"Let me show you something interesting."
As he spoke, Sun Wanghai picked up the remote control and tuned to the Haizhou Metropolitan Channel.
"What's this?"
"[Questioning Haizhou], look, this is Baihe City Mayor Xia Baohua, and sitting next to him are all department heads."
"Putting on a show." Sun's father sneered, "A TV station dares to offend the mayor? Are you kidding?"
"How can this be a show?" Sun Wanghai was a little anxious. Jiang Ningyue was his goddess. "This was supervised by Jiang Ningyue!"
"You are still young, you don't understand."
Father Sun waved his hand casually. "I've met this Xia Baohua before. He's made a lot of money over the years. If you dare to deal with him, I'll really admire you."
The screen on the TV flickered, and Jiang Ningyue picked up the microphone and said, "Minister Li, are you satisfied with Mayor Xia's answer?"
Li Chunyan picked up the microphone with a smile. "I'm both satisfied and dissatisfied. I'm satisfied with Mayor Xia's answer just now, that the Baihe Tunnel will be completed before the end of this year. Having an accurate timeline is great. But I'm not satisfied. Construction of the Baihe Tunnel began in 2013, and it's already 2021, eight years later. The width of the Baihe River during construction is less than 300 meters, and the entire tunnel is only three kilometers long. In 2018, the sinking of three pipe sections was completed. Eight years have passed, and a road hasn't been opened. I think no matter what the reason, it seems pale and powerless before this time. Furthermore, is there any interest transfer behind this project? Is there corruption? Are the relevant responsible units negligent or lazy? I think the Baihe Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government should pay attention to this."
Hearing Li Chunyan's lecture, Xia Baohua didn't dare to be arrogant and nodded repeatedly. At the same time, he secretly hated her and decided that he would deal with this group of people after he returned.
So embarrassing!
Many people online are also curious.
Isn't Li Chunyan the mayor? How did she become a member of the Standing Committee?
[That happened many years ago. He was already a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and the Minister of Organization.]
[Who has higher authority, the head of the Organization Department or the mayor?]
[Isn't this the leader who has a good relationship with Xiaoyue? ]
Li Nan: "Thank you, Minister Li, for your comments. Now, please allow the 30 judges, composed of provincial people's congress representatives, provincial CPPCC members, and the public, to give their scores. The judges can click the voting button in front of them to vote. Okay, let's look at the big screen. 25 of the 30 judges chose "satisfied" and 5 chose "dissatisfied." Are there any judges who voted "dissatisfied" who would like to speak?"
At this moment, a CPPCC member raised his hand and immediately passed the microphone to him. He said, "Minister Li just said it very well. A three-kilometer road took eight years to build. This is down to the local government's laziness and the relevant departments' slackness and inaction. I believe the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection should investigate this project thoroughly! Not just targeting corruption, but also targeting lax governance. All those inactions should be removed, and those who are willing to take responsibility and act should be promoted."
“Pah pah pah pah…”
When the CPPCC member heard the words, applause broke out at the scene.
At this time, the camera swept across the faces of the heads of various departments in Baihe City. They all lowered their heads, and some even began to tremble slightly.
It's so embarrassing. I've been an official for so many years, and this is the first time I've felt so embarrassed.
Sun Wanghai couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, "Dad, do you still dare to say this is a show?"
Father Sun's mouth was also filled with a smile, but he still said stubbornly: "Look again, these people are so shameless, it's useless to point at their noses and scold them."
The screen flashed, and the TV began broadcasting a report about the flooding problem on Nansan Road in Nanhe County. Luo Yuan was shown standing in water, even reaching her knees. Meanwhile, she visited a nearby residential complex and discovered that rainwater had already entered the homes of first-floor residents, who were using basins to scoop out the water.
“Oh my God!”
Many people were outraged by this scene. The tunnel's inability to open is a minor or major issue, and many simply grumbled without expressing any significant dissatisfaction. However, when it rains, flooding homes, like this, residents can relate.
You can avoid taking this route if the road is closed, but the water has soaked the floors, and even if it rains harder, the power will be cut off. According to the people, this is making life impossible!
Reporter: "Auntie, how long has this been going on?"
Auntie: "It's been four or five years! It floods every time it rains heavily. The drainage well is basically useless. Not only does it not drain water, it leaks water. Sometimes, it's dirty and smelly, and when the water dries up, the ground is covered in oil."
Reporter: Did the government do any repairs?
Auntie: We've been building it for three or four years. Every winter, we dig it up and then cover it again when summer approaches. Then, when the rainy season comes, it floods again. In the winter, we dig it up again. This is how we make money!
Many viewers were so enraged by this that they started cursing. Netizens also commented:
[I suspect you're talking about my family, but I have no evidence.]
[Yes, the road in front of our house is also like this, it is repaired and dug, dug and repaired.]
[It's so funny. Look at us, we're always repairing roads year-round.]
[The road that was built two years ago was dug up and re-paved.]
Jiang Ningyue picked up the microphone and looked at Xia Baohua, "Mayor Xia, are you aware of this situation?"
Xia Baohua blinked subconsciously. He thought that this question would be asked to the Municipal Water Affairs Bureau, but he didn't expect Jiang Ningyue to point the finger at him again.
"After watching this video, I was shocked and angry. When we return, we will definitely urge the Nanhe County Water Affairs Bureau to thoroughly resolve and deal with this matter."
"You don't have to go back. We can connect to Nanhe County now."
Jiang Ningyue then pointed to the large screen and said, "Let's connect live to the Nanhe County Government."
The big screen turned on, and the video showed the Nanhe County Government meeting room, with the county magistrate standing in front of the camera.
Jiang Ningyue said, "County Magistrate Li, please explain to us why South Third Road is flooded during the rainy season."
"That's right, host."
County Magistrate Li was a bit nervous, his voice trembling. "Nansan Road is one of the main roads in our county, and the main sewage pipe is buried there. Previously, rainwater and sewage were mixed, and during the rainy season, water backed up. So, we separated the rainwater and sewage. However, because the area is low-lying, water often accumulates even after the diversion."
Jiang Ningyue: "So you just dig and level, level and dig again. You're spending the people's money! The people around here have had their homes flooded, and they've reported it to you so many times. Have you dealt with it? Have you resolved it?"
County Magistrate Li blushed instantly.
