Since it was lunchtime, there were many people in the staff cafeteria of the municipal center, and long lines formed at both windows.
Wang Xiaohai and Yunmei went to line up and stood at the end of the queue at the first window.
Seeing this, the people in front of him made way and lined up behind the second window. Soon Wang Xiaohai reached the front of the window as if he didn't have to queue.
"What are the standards for food?" Wang Xiaohai asked the aunt serving food at the window.
"Two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes." The auntie took the iron box next to her and scooped a spoonful of rice with a spoon. Then her hand shook and half of the rice fell back into the bucket. "You are new here, right? What dishes do you want?"
The staff member next to her nudged her in the waist and reminded her, "This is the new mayor."
"Ah!" The serving lady dropped the iron lunch box in her hand. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were the first mayor to eat in the staff cafeteria. Usually, even bureau chiefs don't come here. There's no limit for those above bureau chief."
"It doesn't matter. Just make two servings for me and Secretary Yunmei. Two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes." Wang Xiaohai said.
The two of them received packed lunches. Although they also contained two meat dishes, the portions looked much larger than others.
The two found a clean place to sit down and eat.
"Do you think the people from Bullet Group will leave?" Wang Xiaohai asked Yunmei.
"Of course he left. It's impolite to stay in someone else's office all the time." Yunmei said.
"Your office has the phone numbers of various government departments. Please notify the deputy mayor in charge of environmental protection and sanitation and the directors of several departments to come to my office for a meeting," said Wang Xiaohai.
"Notify them after lunch?" Yunmei said, "It's lunchtime now. You can't not let people take a nap on your first day."
"Oh, that's right. What are their working hours?" Wang Xiaohai asked while eating.
"I saw the afternoon working hours next to the office door are from 2 to 5 o'clock. I guess they won't come until after 3 o'clock." Yunmei said.
"At two o'clock, tell Lina to come over for a meeting." Wang Xiaohai said, "It's not a good habit to sleep in."
The two finished their meal quickly and returned to their offices. Wang Xiaohai was sleeping while Yunmei was organizing documents and memorizing the phone numbers of various departments.
At two o'clock, Yunmei called Lina from her secretary's office phone: "Hello, Secretary, the mayor has informed us that the heads of the environmental and sanitation departments and the corresponding deputy mayors are needed to come to a meeting."
"Okay, I'll go and remind them." Lina hung up the phone.
In just fifteen minutes, Lina brought a dozen people into Wang Xiaohai's office, including Deputy Mayor Shi Zhen, who was in charge of agriculture, environment, and health, as well as the directors and deputy directors of these departments. It seemed that she was quite efficient.
"Is everyone here?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"The director of the Monitoring Bureau couldn't come due to something, but everyone else is here," Lina replied.
"Let's go, everyone. I think the environment and sanitation of Qingliu City need to be improved." Wang Xiaohai took the lead and everyone followed him.
A line of cars drove out of the administrative center. A row of black cars had been lined up in front of the square. The drivers and bodyguards were standing aside waiting. Wang Xiaohai also saw two bodyguards at the level of martial arts masters.
"Have you decided where to go?" Wang Xiaohai asked Yunmei.
"I looked at a map of Qingliu City," Yunmei said. "We've mapped out a route. This route will pass by the smelter in the south city district, the cement plant in the north, the Yujia Chemical Plant in the west, and several other companies."
"Yujia Chemical Factory?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"You know, it's the chemical factory owned by Yu Lu and Yu Tu's family." Yun Mei explained.
Wang Xiaohai understood what he meant. This company had always been his enemy, so he had to make some arrangements. Of course, if this company really abided by the law and there were no problems, he would not be too embarrassed. Public is public and private is private. He could be a little selfish at most, but he could not be selfish without any bottom line.
The government team got into the car, the driver started the engine, and drove along the route map drawn up by Yunmei. Several police cars led the way, and a black sedan followed behind.
The first place we arrived at was the Nancheng District Smelter. The factory leaders had obviously been notified and were waiting at the factory gate with several management members to greet us.
"Welcome Mayor Wang to our factory." The smelter director said with a smile, and the employees and management behind him all applauded.
"Don't be so quick to applaud. I've looked at the data from the Environmental Bureau. The air pollution index near your factory is the highest in the city," said Wang Xiaohai.
“How is that possible? Is the data wrong?” replied the smelter director.
"Don't play dumb. Doesn't your factory have an exhaust gas purifier?" Wang Xiaohai said.
"Yes, if you don't believe me, go inside and see. We have a purifier," the smelter director explained. "We've also hired two wind mages who work in two shifts, performing purification magic non-stop every day to keep pollution emissions under control."
Of course, Wang Xiaohai did not believe the factory director's one-sided statement and decided to take people in to check.
The group entered the factory in a mighty procession and headed straight to the location of the exhaust gas purifier mentioned by the factory director.
The government technicians following behind immediately inspected the machine.
"Mayor, the machine is working properly," the technician said to Wang Xiaohai, "but..."
"But what?" Wang Xiaohai asked, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be afraid."
"But this machine looks like it hasn't been running for a long time. We came here to run it because I saw a lot of dust in the engine. If it keeps running, it will be shaken off." The technician replied.
Wang Xiaohai looked at the smelter director coldly: "What else do you have to say? Where are your two wind magicians? Why are they gone? Are you kidding me too?"
The factory manager was sweating profusely, wiping his head with a handkerchief. He asked the HR manager beside him, "Where are the two wind magicians who are responsible for pollution control?"
"Director, they think the salary is too low and they're working like oxen, so they're quitting!" said the HR manager.
Wang Xiaohai and the government officials walked out of the factory, followed by the factory director.
"Let's seal the factory first," Wang Xiaohai said to the crowd. "They'll have six months to rectify the situation. The people in charge will be locked up first. If they can't solve the problem, we'll get rid of them first."
The two policemen following behind immediately took the factory director under control and handcuffed him. Several government officials also entered the factory and asked everyone to leave and put a seal on the gate.
After waiting for half an hour, everyone got back on the bus and continued on their journey.
Wang Xiaohai closed all the factories that were detected to be seriously polluted according to his route, including the Yujia Chemical Factory.
When closing the Yujia Chemical Plant, they encountered resistance. The security guard of the chemical plant was a martial artist. He stopped the police from entering on the spot. Finally, Wang Xiaohai knocked him unconscious with a punch. He was then handcuffed with special handcuffs that could lock the martial energy and taken into the police car.
The convoy returned to the Civic Center.
"Everyone going with us today will form a patrol team. We'll patrol various locations in Qingliu City every day. Anyone who doesn't achieve results within a month will be dismissed." Wang Xiaohai got out of the car and said, "Disband."
