Chapter 302: Issue 3 (6)
Some things, if not weighed, would weigh less than 4 taels, but if weighed, they would weigh more than 1,000 kilograms.
Land reclamation is just that.
The artificial island project in the Haibei Bay area was a key project of Tu Zheng when he was mayor of Haibei City. He planned to build a perfect holiday and tourist area on the "Golden Coast" of the bay area. This coastline was good in every way except for an island that was far away.
Several five-star hotels can be built on this island to attract high-end tourists.
Tu Zheng, the then mayor, waved his hand and the project started in full swing.
At that time, Tu Zheng had already fantasized that this project would be one of the stepping stones for his promotion to the vice-ministerial level.
However, in 2016, the central environmental inspection team discovered this problem and ordered Haibei City to halt the artificial island project. The central environmental inspection team believed that the project would not only affect the coastline, but also the three national marine parks along the coastline.
Faced with the document from the Central Environmental Protection Inspection Team, Tu Zheng was very unwilling to accept it and went to find Secretary Shen, the then provincial Party Secretary. However, Secretary Shen's attitude was very calm, and it was obvious that he did not care about the opinions of the Environmental Protection Inspection Team.
Secretary Shen's attitude gave Tu Zheng a strong boost of confidence. On the one hand, he dealt with the two leaders in charge and issued a rectification document to deal with the situation. On the other hand, the artificial island project continued as usual.
Today, Tu Zheng has not only been promoted to the position of municipal party secretary, but the project is also almost completed.
However, "Questioning Haizhou" directly tore open this scar, exposing it to the entire province and even the whole country. How could Tu Zheng not be uneasy?
Tu Zheng, watching TV, lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. He closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down. When he opened them again, he had calmed down.
In this situation, the best outcome is that the Haibei Municipal Ocean Bureau takes the blame.
He is the secretary of the municipal party committee, so it is difficult to put the blame on him.
After the reporter's investigation was broadcast on TV, Jiang Ningyue picked up the microphone and looked at Wu Chunbo, Director of the Haibei Municipal Ocean Bureau.
"Director Wu, the Central Environmental Protection Inspection Team has repeatedly ordered the halting of construction and the removal of the artificial island. Why is your Haibei City not only not demolishing it, but continuing to build it?"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ningyue's first sentence was so harsh. Wu Chunbo picked up the microphone, but couldn't say the words he had prepared.
How to answer this question?
Can Haibei City ignore the central inspection team?
Or does Haibei City think that the opinions of the central inspection team are wrong?
This kind of thing can be said privately, but this is a nationwide live broadcast. Does he dare to say it?
Wu Chunbo picked up the microphone and said with a wry smile, "This is because I lack awareness and have not fully understood the documents issued by the central government and provincial departments."
He is ready to take the blame.
After hearing Wu Chunbo's words, Director Cui of the Provincial Oceanic Department and Tu Zheng, who was watching the live broadcast at home, breathed a sigh of relief. Tu Zheng even smiled and said to his family:
"This Wu Chunbo, what a jerk! When I get back this time, I'm going to give him a good scolding."
Tu was planning to remove Wu Chunbo from his post for half a year, and then transfer him to the Finance Bureau, Development and Reform Commission and other departments to serve as the head to gain some experience.
After all, a good younger brother is one who can take the blame for the boss.
On TV, Jiang Ningyue heard Wu Chunbo's words but refused to give in. "So, the Central Inspection Team has issued the document on the rectification of artificial islands, but your Ocean Bureau has not complied with it?"
Wu Chunbo moved his lips and said, "Yes."
"Why don't you comply? Why is your Ocean Bureau so persistent in building this artificial island?"
Jiang Ningyue asked curiously, "Besides, such a large project shouldn't be completed by your Ocean Bureau alone, right?"
Wu Chunbo didn't say anything.
He was under too much pressure in the studio. He was already nervous when sitting on the chair. When he stood up and faced Jiang Ningyue, the pressure was like carrying a mountain on his back.
On the surface, Wu Chunbo looked calm, but in fact, his legs had begun to tremble.
Can the municipal party secretary really protect him?
Jiang Ningyue stared at Wu Chunbo and found that he ignored her. She asked in confusion, "Director Wu, please answer my question. Who is leading this project? Why are you building such an artificial island?"
Wu Chunbo picked up the microphone and stumbled, "This project is a key project of our municipal Party Committee...our municipal Party Committee...our Haibei City...Yes, it's a key project of our Haibei City...our Haibei City wants to create it through a coastline, three bays, and three artificial islands..."
Jiang Ningyue interrupted Wu Chunbo directly, "In other words, this project was decided after discussion between the leaders of your municipal party committee and government. Is that correct?"
Wu Chunbo fell silent.
Jiang Ningyue frowned and asked, "Director Wu?"
Wu Chunbo's eyes were dull as he slowly said, "Our Haibei City is committed to building a high-level open strategic hub in East Asia, a demonstration zone for a strong maritime province, and an internationally renowned beautiful coast..."
At this time, the barrage was already exploding.
Director Wu's eyes are very wise.
[Big brother isn't listening to what Yueyue is asking at all?]
[Great wisdom appears foolish. Knowing there is no way to answer, one can only pretend to be stupid.]
[Indeed, this is much better than the previous two episodes where they would expose their own leaders at every turn.]
Jiang Ningyue sighed helplessly and continued to interrupt, "Director Wu, please answer my question directly."
Wu Chunbo's lips moved, and his smile was filled with embarrassment and pleading: "Don't ask, don't ask..."
Wang Ximing held his forehead and sighed.
Although they are not one of us, they are bringing shame to the entire Haibei City!
However, Wang Ximing also clearly felt that Tu Zheng's influence and power in Haibei City was really great! A director of the Ocean Bureau acting like this during a live broadcast was clearly trying to protect Tu Zheng, the municipal party secretary!
Barrage:
[I'm dying of laughter. Section Chief Ma is possessed.]
[Now it's Director Ma.]
Section Chief Ma is trying to protect his city's steel industry and steel workers, but this big brother is trying to protect his leader, right?
【Yueyue is speechless.】
[The mayor holds his forehead and sighs.]
Tu Zheng, who was sitting at home, saw this scene and burst out laughing. He said to those around him, "This Wu Chunbo is such a loser! He was so embarrassed by a little girl's question that he couldn't even answer!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
On TV, Jiang Ningyue picked up the microphone and looked at Cui Jiandong, director of the Provincial Department of Oceans and Fisheries. "Director Jiandong, does the provincial department know about the artificial island in Haibei City?"
Cui Jiandong had been holding his breath for a long time. When he heard Jiang Ningyue's question, Cui Jiandong immediately opened fire. He held the microphone in one hand and the document in the other.
"As early as 2017, our provincial government issued a document requiring Haibei City to rectify this artificial island. The document clearly stated: 'The reclamation project must be halted immediately, existing structures must be dismantled, and the ecological environment restored.' This document was issued long ago, but the Haibei Municipal Oceanic Administration simply refuses to comply!"
