The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 836: So You Want to Go Against Me?

After the onset of summer, Chen Bin received a report about a landfill emitting an unbearable stench, troubling the surrounding residents.

Moreover, the relevant departments were ignoring the issue, showing no willingness to resolve it.

For this reason, Chen Bin specifically called the Municipal Environmental Bureau, urging them to handle the matter properly.

However, a few days later, he received another report.

The smell from the landfill was so strong that the nearby residents dared not open their windows.

Seeing that the issue hadn't been resolved, Chen Bin was quite frustrated.

To get to the bottom of it, he even went to the reported landfill himself.

Even before the car reached the destination, a foul smell hit him.

At that moment, Chen Bin realized that the issue had reached a point where it could not be ignored.

Upon reaching the site, he saw that the garbage had piled up like a mountain.

Chen Bin didn't dare to get out of the car, fearing he might pass out from the stench.

He directly instructed Bao Shanshan, "Contact the leaders of the relevant departments and get them all over here for me!"

Shortly after, those who received the call rushed to the scene.

After getting out of their cars, they all put on masks and stood in a line in front of Chen Bin's car.

Chen Bin was exasperated, and as soon as he opened the car door, the stench overwhelmed him, making him dizzy.

A few people quickly reached out to support him, "Secretary Chen, are you alright?"

Chen Bin got out of the car with a stern expression and questioned them.

"How can you bear to wear masks? What on earth is going on here?"

His words compelled the group to reluctantly remove their masks.

Turning his head towards Environmental Bureau Director Yan Junping, Chen Bin questioned sharply.

"Why isn't the garbage being dealt with in an uninhabited area? There are so many residents living here; don't you know how severe the impact is?"

"Secretary Chen, perhaps you're not aware, but when this site was initially chosen for garbage disposal, there weren't any residential areas nearby."

"No sense of planning at all! How did you even become a leader? Forget it, I don't have time to argue with you. What do you plan to do with this garbage?"

"Well… I…"

Seeing Yan Junping's hesitant demeanor, Chen Bin immediately rebuked him sharply.

"Regarding this landfill, I personally called you. You said you would resolve it quickly, and look, nothing has been done. Are you trying to fool me? Do you still want your position as director?!"

"Secretary Chen, I never meant to fool you. It's just that this issue is really difficult to handle." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"What exactly is so difficult about it? Speak up!"

Yan Junping understood that if he continued to make excuses, he might as well consider his position to be as good as gone.

Hence, he reluctantly explained, "This landfill has been affecting the residents' normal lives for the last three years. I've wanted to relocate it for a long time, but the cleaning company disagrees."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Our city's garbage transport is contracted to a single cleaning company. If this landfill is abandoned and a new one is established in the suburbs, it will raise transport costs, and the cleaning company is unwilling."

Such a ridiculous reason made Chen Bin laugh in anger.

"Are you saying this just to shirk responsibility through laziness and inaction?"

"No, I assure you I'm speaking honestly."

"The cleaning company wants to save costs at the expense of the suffering of local residents. Do you think that's reasonable? If the cleaning company can't resolve this, then replace it."

"Well… we've already signed a contract, so we can't replace them."

Seeing the troubled expression on the other's face, Chen Bin could tell there was more to it.

So he directly issued an order, "Notify the nearby residents that the landfill will soon be relocated."

The stench was overpowering, and with that said, Chen Bin got into his car.

On the way back to the Municipal Committee, he instructed Bao Shanshan to inform Yan Junping.

"Bring the contract signed with the cleaning company to the Municipal Committee immediately."

Soon after Chen Bin returned to his office, Yan Junping arrived.

Upon reviewing the contract, he found that it was signed just last year.

Fortunately, he was aware of this issue, or else the residents would continue to suffer.

"Is the contract priced at the regular rate, or above market price?"

"Well… I…"

Seeing Yan Junping's hesitant demeanor again, Chen Bin rebuked loudly.

"Can you speak straightforwardly? If not, resign, and I'll expedite the process for you."

Facing another threat to his position, Yan Junping bit the bullet and responded.

"It's above market rate, and significantly so."

Chen Bin tossed the contract onto the desk and asked, "Tell me about this cleaning company. What's their background?"

"It's part of the Ouyang Group, owned by Ouyang Tianxiong."

Nodding, Chen Bin finally understood.

No wonder the cleaning company was so defiant; they really had someone powerful backing them.

"To have signed this contract, someone must have spoken to you beforehand, right?"

Sighing, Yan Junping nodded reluctantly.

"Secretary Chen, you can probably guess who it was. To be honest, I often receive complaints too and want to change partners, but… it's really not feasible."

"Then take the residents' complaint letters to the company's person in charge. Inform them that their negligence has led the Environmental Bureau to lose credibility with the public, so the contract must be terminated."

"Will that work?"

"What, you're an Environmental Bureau Director, are you really afraid of a cleaning company?"

"There's nothing to fear about the cleaning company itself, but primarily Ouyang Tianxiong…"

"Whoever gives you trouble, just tell them to come directly to me."

With these words, Yan Junping instantly became more confident.

"Alright! Rest assured, Secretary Chen, I promise to handle this impeccably."

After leaving the Municipal Committee, once back in his own office, Yan Junping immediately instructed his people to draft an agreement to terminate the contract early.

Then, he called the cleaning company, asking their manager to come over.

Upon seeing the agreement, the manager's face changed.

"Director Yan, you can't be serious, can you?"

"Do you think I have nothing better to do than joke with you? Secretary Chen has already given me a strict order to relocate the landfill quickly and terminate the contract with you. If you don't sign, we'll see each other in court!"

"I don't have the authority to decide this, I need to report to the leadership."

With that, the manager immediately called Ouyang Tianxiong, reporting the matter.

After learning about it, Ouyang Tianxiong promptly contacted Gan Qiu.

Soon after, Yan Junping's phone rang.

As soon as he answered, Gan Qiu's scolding voice came through.

"Yan Junping, what the hell do you mean by this?! Are you trying to go against me?!"
