At this time, Xie Shuzhen used another trick. She asked several local stations in Mingmaoshi City to "low-key" invite about 50 active people in a "internal manner" manner, and well-known friends attended the "px project promotion meeting" organized by Mingmaoshi City.
It should be said that Xie Shuzhen's original intention is good. She hopes to eliminate the prejudice of people towards PX projects through this official "PX Project Promotion Conference" and convince these active people to help the government refute rumors on the road. For this reason, she also specially appointed Wang Liguo, the propaganda minister of the Municipal Party Committee, to preside over the meeting.
But often wishes are beautiful, but reality is not varied by personal will. As soon as the news spreads, a large number of friends spontaneously come to attend. The meeting originally planned to be controlled by about 50 people, but more than 200 people came at once. The conference room station was almost unable to stand, and the scene was a little out of control.
Wang Liguo is an old bureaucrat who has been in the officialdom for many years. When he saw this scene, he frowned, but it was not easy to attack. He instructed the staff to play the program clips of a previous column of CCTV on the spot about correctly understanding the px project, and then made an official interpretation of the px project according to the script, and announced the separation of the meeting.
Now the friends stopped doing it. Those who came to the meeting were all active in their minds and often posted on major forums. The more influential "V"-level figures immediately started to make a fuss and asked Wang Liguo to stay and answer his friends' questions.
In the end, Wang Liguo had no choice but to stay, but only agreed to answer three questions from friends. These friends were all famous for their new opinions and sharp words, otherwise they would not attract the attention of fans. The questions raised were naturally very sharp, which made Wang Liguo very unhappy. After he stayed in the publicity for a long time, he naturally spoke official words to answer questions, avoiding the important ones and not satisfying friends. In the end, the promotion will only end up like a farce in the quarrel between friends and staff.
However, this promotion meeting had a big reaction, which was to give friends who didn't know each other a chance to communicate in reality. After Wang Liguo left, they communicated on their own. When they talked about it, they felt that they met too late. "Oh, you are the one with the name of something!" They exchanged contact information and WeChat accounts, which also laid the groundwork for the subsequent group protests.
So on the third day after the promotion meeting, with the connection between these friends, soon after the precedent of the Minxia City, the masses quickly followed the example of Minxia City and began to protest on the lawn in front of the Mingmao Municipal Party Committee. They marched on the road in front of the Municipal Party Committee, and even slogans of "Protesting the PX Project". Some also held cards with "PX ruthless people are affectionate, Mingmao hold on!". At first, there were only about a few hundred people, but later, more and more people gathered, reaching thousands of people.
Xie Shuzhen was very angry after receiving the report and immediately called Liao Qili, secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Committee and director of the Public Security Bureau, instructing him to immediately dispatch police forces to disperse the protesters on the spot and not tolerate those who take the lead in causing trouble.
Liao Qili never gave up the instructions of his superiors. He immediately led hundreds of police officers to the gathering scene of the municipal party committee gate. It should be said that at the beginning, both the police and the protesters were relatively restrained. After the police arrived at the scene, the riot police officers holding shields immediately built several rows of human walls in front of the municipal party committee gate to prevent the protesters from rushing to the municipal party committee gate. The protesters only held protest banners and cards to confront the police, and there was no physical conflict.
But as more and more people rushed over after hearing the news, reaching thousands of people, the scene was a little out of control, especially the idle and unemployed people in society. These guys were so idle all day long that they wanted to find some excitement and fun, hoping to cause trouble. Now when they saw such a lively scene, they didn't try hard to get into the crowd, and hid in the crowd and threw mineral water bottles and small stones into the police wall.
Liao Qili was a soldier and had a hot temper. With Xie Shuzhen's instructions, he immediately directed the riot police on the scene to take the initiative to attack and arrest the troublemakers who took the lead in provoking. The lower limb conflict was inevitable. The scene immediately lost control, and some people were accidentally injured while pushing, and their heads were broken and bleeding. The scene became even more chaotic. Some people shouted at the scene, "The police beat people, they were injured!" So more people joined the ranks of throwing mineral water bottles and small stones at the police wall. Many of the police were also hit by these miscellaneous objects and injured, and the smell of gunpowder at the scene became stronger and stronger.
At this time, some people began to dismantle the steel guardrails on the roadside, and iron frames were used as attack weapons. Some people ran to the road to stop cars. Those idle people in the society who were afraid of chaos began to fight and smash public property and storefronts on the roadside.
At this time, the number of people gathered at the scene had reached thousands, and the hundreds of riot police officers brought by Liao Qili could not control the situation at all. He had to report to Xie Shuzhen. Now Xie Shuzhen was also a little panicked. Things were completely out of her control. If they continued to evolve, it would probably become a vicious ** that shocked the whole country.
A sense of powerlessness instantly spread throughout Xie Shuzhen's limbs. She sat down dejectedly on the office chair and murmured to herself: "How could it be like this?! How could it be like this?!" The secretary who was still standing beside her reminded: "Secretary Xie, if something big happens, it will definitely not be able to cover it. Let's report it to her superiors as soon as possible!"
Xie Shuzhen woke up and quickly called Shu Danming to report. Shu Danming was also shocked when he received the call. What officials fear the most is to give up the **. It doesn’t matter if you are mediocre and poor as an official, at most you will not get promoted. But once you are a **, you will definitely be beaten!
But now it is useless to blame Xie Shuzhen. Shu Danming had to instruct Xie Shuzhen on the phone to control the situation and not to worsen further. He would immediately order the nearby armed police forces to rush to reinforce, and he would also personally rush to Mingmao City to take charge of command!
Duan Zetao didn't know that such a major incident occurred in Mingmao City at this time. Zhang Xiaohao suddenly rushed to his office and panted and said: "Governor Duan, something big happened in Mingmao City. When Mingmao City wanted to carry out a PX project, the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau asked the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau to issue an environmental assessment report, I stuck and didn't agree. Unexpectedly, something happened!..."
After listening to Zhang Xiaohao's report, Duan Zetao did not feel gloating at all, because he knew that it would be no good for Mingmao City to have a chance to have a chance at this time. It would not only be a major blow to Mingmao City, but also had a negative impact on the entire western Guangdong province. So he thought about it and stood up immediately, waved to Zhang Xiaohao and said, "Let's go! Let's go and discuss countermeasures with Secretary Tianlong!"
