Elixir Supplier

Chapter 153

Very quickly, another post appeared, this post followed closely the post that had slandered Wang Yao. The content of the post was about someone who had discovered that a certain factory had discharged contaminated water but was threatened by a factory worker and was forced to retaliate out of self-defense. In the end, the person who had discovered the factory's wrong-doings was slandered.

This post was monitored closely and furthermore, it had a photo. It was more believable compared to the other post that described using words only. Additionally, people were more concerned about protecting the environment, and hence, they re-posted the subsequent post more.

The relevant authorities acted even more swiftly, not only because of the post but because there was an actual tip by a person. That person was Wang Yao.

At the same time that Wang Yao returned home, the county environment protection bureau's car had entered the village and had proceeded with investigations on the processing factory.

…

In a certain hotel in the county.

"You have to help me."

"You have the audacity to ask? Currently, everyone is focused on environmental protection, and your machine processing factory could still discharge contaminated water?!"

"That is used water."

"That's rubbish. I have already seen the environment protection bureau report. What used water? The heavy metal ion and COD indicators are off the charts; what exactly is your factory doing?!"

"I'm doing other stuff."

"You, you…!"

"Don't be angry. What do I do now?"

"Your factory cannot continue manufacturing. It will be sealed, and the operations suspended in order to restructure it."

"Ah, I just started operations a few days ago and invested so much money into it." The boss was frantic with anxiety.

"It's not like you lack this bit of money. Also, keep an eye on your people. Don't let them post willful news and rumors. And also, get that Li Dong to behave!"

"Yes, yes!"

…

With that, under the villagers' heated discussion, the factory that had started operation a few days ago had shut down due to its failure to comply with environmental standards. Its operations were suspended and would be restructured. The re-opening date was not within the foreseeable future.

The village resumed its peace and quiet life.

In the village, a village council was held.

"This young man is impressive!"

"Exactly. He beat up a man to the point of him being hospitalized and caused a factory to shut down. And he suffered no consequences."

"In my opinion, it's better that this factory shuts down. It's noisy all day and at night, it secretly discharges contaminated water into the river. Dead fish had begun to appear in the dam below."

"Yeah." Wang Jianli smoked his cigarette; he spoke the least.

"This young man has so many tricks up his sleeves; we should get him to help our village."

"How can he help? Our village doesn't have anything!"

"We have to ponder over this matter," Wang Jianli put out his cigarettes and said.
