Chapter 300: Issue 3 (4)
After a long silence, Nian Sisi finally spoke, "Please let the thirty judges here vote."
Soon, the results popped up on the big screen - 27 votes satisfied and 3 votes dissatisfied.
Those who were satisfied believed that Wang Ximing's remarks were serious enough, suggesting a major shake-up of the Rail Transit Group was imminent, and that this was a positive attitude. They believed the new Rail Transit Group leadership would not dare to slack off.
But a representative of the National People's Congress picked up the microphone and said:
"Mayor Ximing and Director Zhipeng both made good points, but I still have something to say. Haibei City's subway system has only been repaired for a small section in 25 years. Haven't any leaders raised questions in 25 years? Why hasn't anyone taken it seriously in 25 years? The reason is that leaders commute by car, not on buses or subways. If the mayor and the municipal party secretary had taken the subway or buses, they would have discovered the problem in less than a week. This subway system could have been completed and opened to traffic more than a decade ago."
When the NPC representative's words were heard at the scene, there was thunderous applause.
The NPC representative continued, "A great man once said, 'Come from the masses, return to the masses.' Such wise words! I hope all leaders can take this to heart."
Barrage: [Indeed, the key point is that the municipal party committee leaders don’t take the bus.]
【Hahahaha, explosive kill.】
The leaders all had complicated expressions.
When I was a clerk, I squeezed into the bus. Now that I'm mayor, I still squeeze into the bus. Isn't my mayorship a waste?
[What a joke! When I was a junior employee, I didn’t even take the bus!]
On the Douyin platform, almost all users who follow "Questioning Haizhou" will see the live broadcast of "Questioning Haizhou" after watching a few videos when they open the APP.
Many people will click in and choose to watch, however, a small number of people do not want to waste so much time on the live broadcast. They just want to wait until the marketing account sees it the next day or the day after tomorrow.
But even so, the number of people watching the live broadcast online is skyrocketing.
This is something that Haizhou TV APP cannot compare to. After all, no matter how Douyin goes downhill, its daily active users are still over 300 million, and the official data is over 600 million.
Many people saw such an explosive scene as soon as they came in. Some people's remarks were extremely excessive, but they were all blocked.
Wang Ximing breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he had passed the first level. He wondered how many more levels there were to come.
Thinking of this, Wang Ximing felt a little headache.
Nian Sisi picked up the microphone and began, "In 2018, our station's 'People's Livelihood 30 Minutes' program reported on the substandard quality and safety hazards of the Xianghe Jiayuan residential complex in Pingyuan District, Haibei City. During the interview, the Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development attached great importance to it and immediately addressed the issue with relevant departments. Three years have passed since then, and let's take a look at how the renovation of this community has progressed."
Voiceover: [The reporter arrived at the Xianghe Jiayuan residential complex in Haibei City. Upon entering, he discovered that the underground parking garage was still closed.]
Interview; [Reporter: Has this parking garage ever been open?]
[Resident: No, it has been sealed since we first moved in.]
[Reporter: Did you say why?]
[Residents: Fire protection is not up to standard and is not allowed to be used.]
In addition to the underground parking lot problem, the problem of leaking exterior walls has always existed.
Resident: ...the roof leak was fixed at the time, but the exterior wall leak has never been repaired... Regarding the elevator, only one was repaired, and the other has been out of service ever since.
The reporter contacted the relevant authorities, who all said they were not responsible for the project. After repeated inquiries, staff from the District Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau finally explained that the project had been shelved because the complex had too many problems and the cost of repairs was too high.
At this moment, residents of Xianghe Home Community in Pingyuan District, Haibei City saw that the political program had come to their community, and immediately shared the news link in the owners’ group.
After the news broadcast ended, Jiang Ningyue looked at Director Zhou of the Haibei Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau. "Director Zhou, are you aware of this matter?"
While the news was being broadcast, Director Zhou was constantly thinking about how to answer the questions. In fact, before the live broadcast even started, he had already received the questions and had already thought about the answers.
However, he had seen what happened to the previous people, and he knew that this way of answering would definitely not work.
"Our Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau has also been discussing this issue. Because the construction company of this community, Xinlong Real Estate Company, has gone bankrupt and liquidated, we can't find the responsible party."
Jiang Ningyue suppressed her sarcasm and tried to remain polite. "Excuse me, Director Zhou, is the main body responsible for village renovation and demolition the People's Government or the Xinlong Real Estate Company?"
Hearing Jiang Ningyue's question, Director Zhou thought to himself, "Oh no!" He couldn't get rid of the blame.
"Yes, the People's Government."
"Okay. Since it's the government, is there any necessary connection between the developer's bankruptcy and the project's suspension? Does it mean that if the construction company goes bankrupt while the municipal government is building a road, the road won't be built?"
“This…that…”
Director Zhou was speechless and stammered, unable to even utter a word of defense for a moment.
This is too much! Why didn't Jiang Ningyue ask questions according to the discussion?!
Jiang Ningyue didn't choose to let him go and continued to ask: "Please answer my question."
Director Zhou smiled awkwardly, "We'll go back and apply again, and apply again..."
Jiang Ningyue persisted, "Does applying again mean the city government doesn't want to repair it?"
"Oh, how can I put it?"
Director Zhou was somewhat bewildered by the question. Standing in the studio, his brain was completely paralyzed. His former eloquence was now lost. "Actually, the Xianghe Home Community is now habitable. It's countless times better than their previous living environment. Local residents should be content. It's not that we won't repair the buildings; we're doing so in a planned and systematic manner. Besides, we can't rely on the government for everything, can we? If all the property owners pay their property management fees, then the property management company can certainly handle the repairs."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "This resettlement housing itself has quality issues, and the residents are expected to pay for repairs themselves. Isn't this a bit unreasonable?"
Director Zhou was unable to answer.
After getting a satisfactory answer, Jiang Ningyue turned to look at Cao Cheng, the director of the Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. "Director Cao, do you know anything about the situation in the Xianghe Home Community in Pingyuan District, Haibei City?"
"Hello, Supervisor. I have some understanding of this matter."
Cao Cheng was already prepared and took the microphone to speak freely. "In 2018, Haizhou TV's 'People's Livelihood 30 Minutes' program contacted our Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department. We sent representatives to conduct multiple on-site investigations and, based on the principle of solving the most pressing problems faced by the people, carried out emergency repairs to the residential complex's roof. At the same time, we also discovered on-site that the community's elevators did not meet operating standards and posed a serious safety hazard. So we funded the repair of half of the community's elevators, that is, one elevator in each building. Basically, except for the elevator car, everything else was replaced. It was almost the same as buying a new elevator."
Cao Cheng paused and said, "However, this is Haibei City's own problem. Our Provincial Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department is only providing guidance. We can't say that we helped once and that we can solve all the remaining problems. To this day, the maintenance of the community elevators and after-sales service for the leaking roof are still handled by the company we hired."
Jiang Ningyue nodded. What Cao Cheng meant was that our Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development has already repaired part of the work, so they can’t rely on us to repair everything, right?
Since the Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development doesn't want to get involved, Jiang Ningyue won't ask them.
"Okay, Director Cao. Mayor Ximing, can you take care of this matter?"
