Chapter Fifty-Fourth, How Difficult Is Water Control Work?
After drinking two bottles of red wine, Liu Yan was fine as expected. Xu Chuchu was already drunk, so she shouted: "Bring more wine."
Dongfang Jian advised her: "Stop drinking. It's boring to come to the city to drink. We might as well go out and take a look at the night view."
"What's there to see in the night scene? Let's go sing." Xu Chuchu shouted.
"I'm afraid singing is not possible. How about we go to the teahouse by the river to drink tea and watch the night view?" Liu Yan said. Dongfang Jian understood what she meant and explicitly prohibited civil servants from singing in the karaoke hall. He said, "This is a good suggestion. Xu
Chu Chu, come on, let’s go to the riverside.”
He couldn't drive after drinking, so Dongfang Jian called Didi. He said to the master: "Master, go to the riverside teahouse."
"okay."
The river view at night, with neon lights flashing, is particularly beautiful. There are many teahouses along the river. City people like to invite three or five friends to the teahouses to drink tea, chat, or play cards, so the business in the teahouses is good at night. The master asked
: "Boss, which teahouse are you going to?"
"A place with fewer guests." Dongfang Jian said.
"Then I will send you to a teahouse farther away." The master said.
The master took them to a teahouse called Mingchaju, stopped the car and said, "This teahouse has just opened, and there are not many customers here. Let's go here."
When I got off the bus at Dongfang Key, I saw that the teahouse is close to the river and is divided into three floors. On the top is a large terrace with tea seats where you can enjoy the river view while sipping tea.
"Okay, right here." Dongfang Jian said, and he and Liu Yan helped Xu Chuchu get out of the car.
Being blown by the river wind, Xu Chuchu sobered up a lot. She asked: "Hey, didn't we go to sing? How did we get to the teahouse?"
"It's good to have tea after drinking. Come on, let's go in." Liu Yan advised her.
Now that everyone is here, Xu Chuchu followed him into the teahouse. When the teahouse owner saw the guests coming in, he ran over with a smile on his face and asked: "Boss, do you want to go to the balcony on the top floor or the teahouse?"
"Go to the balcony." Xu Chuchu said.
"Okay, let's go to the balcony." Dongfang Jian said to the boss.
"Okay, you guys go up by the elevator. The elevator is over here." The boss said, leading the way.
When they arrived at the balcony on the top floor, they had a wide view and the river breeze blew, making them feel refreshed. They found a table and sat down.
"Boss, bring me a pot of Dahongpao, a plate of peanuts, a plate of melon seeds, a plate of pistachios, and a piece of fruit." Liu Yan said. Seeing how smoothly she reported, she must have been frequenting the teahouse.
The boss said: "Everyone, please wait a moment. Tea will be served immediately."
Since the teahouse had just opened, business was slow, so the boss himself acted as a waiter. He put tea, tea sets, and nuts on the table and said, "Please use tea."
When the boss brought the thermos bottle, Liu Yan said: "Pay the bill."
Dongfang Jian stopped him and said, "I'll pay."
Liu Yan smiled and said: "You invited me to dinner, and you also let me show my kindness as a landlord, okay?"
What she said was reasonable and Dongfang Jian couldn't insist, so he asked her to pay.
There were only three of them on the entire balcony. After drinking a few cups of tea, Xu Chuchu lost all sense of alcohol and completely sobered up. She called out to Qu: "Sister Liu Yan, you are dishonest. It turns out that you have a better drinking capacity than me but you said you don't know how to drink, deceiving honest people."
"
"You have the nerve to say, when did Liu Yan say that her drinking ability is worse than yours? She is being modest and low-key, you know?" Dongfang Jian said.
"Sister Chu Chu, I didn't lie to you. As a lady, I try not to drink as much as I can, don't you think so?" Liu Yan said.
"Okay, okay, you are right, I will learn from you in the future." Xu Chuchu said unconvinced. She can't learn. Can such a straightforward character be changed? As the saying goes: "A country is easy to change, but a nature is hard to change."
"Hey, Liu Yan, tell me how your water treatment work in Dongcheng Street is going?" Dongfang Jian changed the subject.
"Well, the work of smelting water is difficult." Liu Yan said, putting down the teacup in her hand.
"Tell me, is it difficult for us?" Xu Chuchu became interested.
"There is a biochemical park in Dongcheng Street, which contains hundreds of pharmaceutical manufacturing companies and chemical companies. It is not only the pillar industry of the street, but also the main source of district finance. The production sewage of the company is directly discharged into the Yongning River, causing the river water to turn black and emit
There was a pungent stench, and the vegetation along both sides of the river was poisoned to death. The public was very dissatisfied. After several rectifications, the companies in the park were required to install sewage treatment facilities. However, once the sewage treatment facilities were activated, the company's expenses were soaring.
"With the increase, most companies couldn't bear it and stopped. They only started using it when the inspection came, and they just pretended to cope with the inspection. Once the inspection was over, they continued to discharge sewage."
"Then simply relocate the entire enterprise." Xu Chuchu said.
"This park has existed for more than fifty years. It is not easy to relocate it as a whole. The district is reluctant to cut off this piece of fat, so it has continued to exist in secret. The rich people have moved away, and the rest along the river
The masses gradually got used to it, and it was useless to report it to the public anyway. They could only linger on for a while. The district asked the street's "Five Water Offices" to strengthen supervision and patrols, which forced enterprises to consciously discharge sewage according to regulations, so we started to play "police arrest"
The thief's trick made people sleepy and had little effect. It's really boring to think about it." Liu Yan said discouragedly.
Xu Chuchu felt the same after hearing this. She said angrily: "Are our streets still different? Mold Street cannot be moved, key pollution sources cannot be shut down, and there are barriers everywhere. It is really boring."
"The co-development of five waters is the general trend, and no one can stop it. We must believe that this is the progress of history. Of course, this progress is a spiral process and will not arrive in a straight line. Therefore, we must strengthen our ideals and beliefs, overcome all difficulties, and achieve
Target." Dongfang Keyan said impassionedly.
"Hey, I found that you are more suitable to be a political instructor than a team leader, sister Liu Yan, isn't that right?" Xu Chuchu teased him.
Liu Yan smiled and said: "Team Leader Dongfang's direction is right. I hope this goal can be achieved in our hands."
"Okay, okay, don't hurt me. It's getting late and we will still be at work tomorrow. How about we go back?" Dongfang Jian suggested.
Liu Yan asked Xu Chuchu: "What are your plans for the evening?"
"No arrangements, just stay in a hotel." Xu Chuchu said.
"If you don't mind, just come back to my house with me." Liu Yan invited her.
"Is it convenient?" Xu Chuchu asked.
"It's convenient. My dad works out of town and is away from home. There are only two people at home, my mom and me. You can either stay in the guest room alone or sleep with me. It's your choice."
Dongfang Jian was a little worried about letting Xu Chuchu stay in the hotel alone. It didn't seem appropriate to ask her to stay at his home. It would be the best arrangement to stay with Liu Yan. He said, "This is very good."
"Then it's settled, Dongfang Jian, you go home, Chu Chu and I will go back to my home." Liu Yan said happily.
Dongfang Jian said: "Okay, Xu Chuchu, I will pick you up tomorrow." The three of them left the tea room together.
