Li Yuanlang responded: "You, Mr. Fan, have invited me so many times, and I have always been busy with work. Not only are you lucky tonight, but I am too."

"Mayor Li, you're welcome. Come on, please take a seat."

Fan Youcheng asked Li Yuanlang to sit on the main seat, and then called on the rest of the accompanying people to take their seats.

Tonight, in addition to the two of them, there are Wei Xingfu and Xu Guangshui from the city government, and Fan Youcheng has brought executives from Jingcheng Chemical to accompany him.

Among them was his assistant Bai Shanming.

In front of everyone, Li Yuanlang dealt with Fan Youcheng with ease.

In fact, everyone knows that there is not much useful information in this kind of occasion, the main thing is to connect with each other emotionally.

Li Yuanlang and Fan Youcheng both abided by their inner rules and did not talk about topics other than feelings.

After the banquet was over, Li Yuanlang sat in the car and received a call from Fan Youcheng.

"Mayor Li, is it convenient for you? If so, how about we go upstairs and have a cup of tea to sober up?"

Li Yuanlang had already guessed that there would definitely be a sequel to tonight's show.

It's just that he and Fan Youcheng should be the only two protagonists.

Wei Xingfu and Xu Guangshui were present just now, so Fan Youcheng could not make any proposal to retain him.

Li Yuanlang asked the driver to go back. In the hotel bathing lounge, Li Yuanlang and Fan Youcheng sat across from each other.

Fan Youcheng brewed Kung Fu tea and filled it up for Li Yuanlang first, "Mayor Li, this is this year's new tea, please taste it."

Li Yuanlang is a master of tea tasting. He can tell the quality of tea just by smelling it without drinking it.

After taking a sip, he praised: "Mr. Fan's tea is good, the taste is mellow, and it must be valuable."

"It can be seen that Mayor Li knows tea." Fan Youcheng raised his nose and smelled it. He seemed to have no desire to drink it, but instead enjoyed the aroma of tea even more.

"Mr. Fan, we don't have to beat around the bush, it's best to tell us everything."

Fan Youcheng nodded frequently, "Mayor Li is a cheerful person. Okay, I will make a candid statement to Mayor Li about what is in my heart."

"I will not go into details about the lawsuit between our Jingcheng Chemical Industry and the Environmental Protection Federation. Mayor Li, to be honest, I am not convinced. The pollution case has been closed a long time ago. Those who should be arrested and those who should be sentenced should be sentenced.

It was Yuantai Chemical that dumped waste into the Dechun River, and we did not instigate it, nor did we participate."

"Besides, we paid them to dispose of chemical waste, which is well documented. Now that something has happened, the Environmental Protection Federation has sued Yuantai Chemical. I have no objection. They brought the blame on themselves. Instead, they brought us with them.

,Isn’t this...isn’t this the implicated nine clans!”

"I can't figure it out. Even after so many years, I still can't figure it out. Mayor Li, you are the mayor of Deping. You are not only the mayor of the common people, but also the mayor of us entrepreneurs."

"I would like to ask you to comment on whether this is the behavior of a mad dog by the Environmental Protection Federation. Whoever is caught will be bitten, and any advantage will not be taken advantage of."

Seeing Fan Youcheng talking more and more energetically, Li Yuanlang calmly poured the tea without saying a word.

After he finished venting, Li Yuanlang asked: "Are you done?"

"That's it." Fan Youcheng picked up the tea cup, drank it all in one breath, and dropped the cup heavily on the tea tray.

"Mr. Fan, you paid Yuantai Chemical for the treatment, but with this money, Yuantai Chemical will not make money if it treats the waste according to normal methods."

"You and I know this very well. If you hadn't lowered the treatment fee so low, Zeng Tai and the others would have taken the risk and dumped the waste. It can be said that your low price is the root cause of the environmental pollution case."

"Mayor Li, I..."

Li Yuanlang waved his hand to stop Fan Youcheng's defense, and continued: "The water in the Dechun River has been polluted, and the subsequent impact is far-reaching, profound, and heartbreaking."

"Let's just say that the food poisoning incident at Xiaye Town Primary School was caused by teachers and students eating contaminated fish from the Dechun River."

"Thankfully, the rescue was timely. If it had been too late, death might have occurred. Even so, the parents of the poisoned students have already put up slogans to punish you and Zeng Tai."

"It can be said that you are now the target of public criticism and have people's anger."

"You think; "You can't figure it out. In the final analysis, it's your paranoia that's causing trouble, and it's your irresponsibility that has blinded you."

"The beautiful Dechun River water used to be so clear and clear, with lush aquatic plants and fish and shrimps playing. Look now, the vegetation is withered and the smell is pungent."

"You just said that the Environmental Protection Federation is taking advantage, but you are not the same! You are the real initiators of letting Yuantai Chemical process your waste at lower than market prices! The Environmental Protection Federation is suing you, and you are not unfair at all!"

"Furthermore, the Environmental Protection Federation proposes public welfare compensation. If they win the lawsuit, they will use all the compensation for the restoration project of the Dechun River. No one wants a penny from you."

"Mr. Fan, compared with the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait who have been polluted by the Dechun River, ask yourself, don't you feel blushing and guilty?"

"We live on this land, we must care for the environment, and we must protect the environment. What you do is the same as Zeng Tai. It's just that they are criminals who broke the law, and you are moral prisoners."

Li Yuanlang's powerful words made Fan Youcheng feel ashamed. He lowered his head deeply and was unable to utter a word of rebuttal.

Li Yuanlang did not stop there and continued to denounce him.

"In the two years since Deping New City was built, the occupancy rate has been extremely low and it has turned into a ghost town. The municipal party committee and government are making great efforts to completely change this phenomenon."

"The occupation of the vegetable plot and your abandoned factory is one of them. When our government was negotiating with you, you artificially blocked and set up obstacles on the grounds that the factory cannot be demolished."

"What? Your shabby house, Fan Youcheng's, is a golden treasure. Do you want to become a new landmark in Deping City?"

"You just want to use this to negotiate terms with the city government. You want the city government to put pressure on the Municipal Intermediate People's Court on the environmental protection case in exchange for your escape."

"I'm leaving my words here today, I can't do it!"

"You, Fan Youcheng, are not worthy of negotiating terms with the city government, let alone the qualifications!"

"Since ancient times, people have not fought against officials. I don't care what your Fan Youcheng's background is, as long as I, Li Yuanlang, am in Deping City and serve as mayor for one day, you'd better give up this idea."

"Cooperate in the environmental protection case and give up your abandoned factory. Don't become a stumbling block for the city to promote the new city planning plan. Otherwise, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life. If you don't believe me, we can wait and see!"

After saying that, Li Yuanlang stood up and strode away without looking back.

Fan Youcheng stared at Li Yuanlang's back with his eyes wide open, his face pale.

An unknown fire burst out from his chest that was constantly rising and falling.

He raised his hand and pulled all the tea utensils on the tea tray to the ground, breathing heavily.

At this time, Bai Shanming sneaked in, bent down to pick up the tea sets on the ground, and asked: "Mr. Fan, did Mayor Li make you angry?"

"What is the origin of the person named Li? His tone is shockingly loud."

Bai Shanming said: "It is said that Li Yuanlang is highly regarded by Secretary Luan of the Provincial Party Committee. Li Yuanlang's wife seems to have a good relationship with Secretary Luan, and they all call Secretary Luan uncle."

"No wonder." Fan Youcheng squinted his eyes, tapped the armrest of the sofa rhythmically with his fingertips, and asked again: "Who did you listen to? Is it accurate?"

"Mr. Fan, it doesn't matter who said it. The information is very accurate." After thinking about it, Bai Shanming came over, lit a cigarette for Fan Youcheng, and said mysteriously: "Mayor Li has offended you, so you are going to swallow your anger and accept the blame."

At his mercy?"

"Otherwise?" Fan Youcheng sighed and said, "I think Li Yuanlang's words are quite reasonable. The people do not fight with the officials. In the eyes of ordinary people, we are rich people. But in the eyes of officials, we are ordinary people, and

There is no difference between those who carry big bags and do hard work."

"It's nice to be an official, but once we piss them off, turn their backs and use their power, we will never be able to recover."

"The abandoned factory building was abandoned. I gave Li Yuanlang face and his anger subsided. Maybe he won't pursue us fiercely on the environmental protection case. At least he won't treat us as a thorn in his side like he does now."

Fan Youcheng also had no choice but to bow his head under the eaves.

Since the waist is not straight, the head cannot be raised.
