"RX is highly toxic, comparable to potassium cyanide!"

"Once the RX leaks, Yiping will be 100 times worse than Bhopal, India!"

"Foreign RX projects must be at least 100 kilometers away from residential areas!"

"The Daqin RX project is a time bomb built around the people of Yiping!"

"..."

The three "science popularization" activities organized by Blue Sky caused an uproar in Yiping City. For a while, there were many discussions in the streets and alleys, and the topics all revolved around the Daqin RX project under construction in the suburbs of Yiping.

Gusev and Erkin are extremely provocative. They showed a lot of tragic photos on the podium and labeled them with the label of a certain chemical plant accident. Among them, there are naturally real pictures such as the accident of the pesticide factory in Bhopal, India, and some are far-fetched, and even mixed with scenes from many foreign movies. However, the audience at the scene did not have the ability to discriminate. When they saw a foreigner with blue eyes and a high nose, they instinctively chose to trust him. They were even more convinced when they heard that these two foreigners were from the famous Blue Sky organization. Now that foreigners have said that RX is poisonous, can there be fakes?

Of course, Yiping is not without understanding people. For example, Peng Zhiting, an engineer from the Science and Technology Bureau, was one of them. After listening to the first "science popularization", he came to Xu Yang's office with his brows tightly knitted, and said to Xu Yang: "Director Xu , What is the origin of Gusev and Ekin, are they really experts from the Blue Sky Organization?"

"Can this be fake?" Xu Yang said, "I checked on the website of the Blue Sky Organization, and their photos are completely correct. Why, is there any problem?"

Peng Zhiting said: "The problem is very big. They said that RX is highly toxic in their speeches. This is complete nonsense. I came from a chemical engineering background. The toxicity of RX is not high. It is only classified as dangerous goods in the country. How can a chemical that is mildly toxic, about the same grade as gasoline, be compared to cyanide?"

Xu Yang nodded, and said: "Well, I also understand this situation, maybe the safety standards in the West are higher than ours."

"It's impossible." Peng Zhiting said, "I've checked both the EU standards and the American standards, and RX is not classified as a high-level dangerous product in these countries. This is common sense in chemistry."

"Peng Gong, this issue is not important. Even if Gusev and his family are talking about it, it is still worth advocating the awareness of environmental protection. Even if the toxicity of RX is not particularly severe, we should also examine it with a preventive attitude. Is this the case for this project?" Xu Yang explained the truth to Peng Zhiting.

"But..." Peng Zhiting was somewhat confused by Xu Yang. Medicines are three-point poisonous. It is impossible for chemical products to be completely safe and non-toxic, but they are somewhat toxic and comparable to potassium cyanide. The difference is too great, how can they be confused? He was a little puzzled. It is said that Director Xu is also an engineering student who graduated from a prestigious school. He should have some scientific literacy. How can he speak in an official accent?

Xu Yang understands better than anyone else, but he will not tell others what he thinks. He smiled lightly and said to Peng Zhiting: "Mr. Peng, let's be honest, the science popularization activity organized by Blue Sky was personally arranged by Secretary Guo of the municipal party committee. What do you think we can do? Even if they say something a little Alarmism, this can be regarded as a long-lasting alarm bell, which is beneficial and harmless. Through such activities, the enthusiasm of the masses to care about science can be aroused, why should we oppose it?"

"How can this matter be beneficial and harmless? There are rumors outside that the construction of the Daqin RX project will be blocked. If something really happens, the impact will be too great." Peng Zhiting argued.

Xu Yang said: "Don't worry, Mr. Peng. This problem doesn't exist at all. For a company as big as Daqin Group, how can we do a good job in crisis public relations? Do we need to worry about it?"

"Uh..." Peng Zhiting was speechless. When Xu Yang mentioned this level, he obviously refused to intervene in this matter, which was quite different from Xu Yang's performance since he joined the Science and Technology Bureau. In Peng Zhiting's impression, although Xu Yang is usually a little arrogant, he is still very active in his work. It is a bit abnormal for him to be so indifferent in this matter. However, considering that it is a well-known international organization like Blue Sky, it is understandable for Xu Yang to behave like this.

Peng Zhiting left resentfully, Xu Yang sent him out of the office, looked at his back with a sneer on his face.

With Xu Yang's knowledge background, how can he not know that Gusev and Ekin are talking nonsense, and how can he not imagine what kind of impact this nonsense will bring. Gusev and Aijin always thought that Xu Yang cooperated with them so actively because they promised to arrange for him to go abroad, but they didn't know that while they were using Xu Yang, Xu Yang was also using them.

The RX project in Yiping City is affiliated to the Daqin Group, Xu Yang will never forget that it was Qin Hai who beat him up in a brutal way, and let the base kick him out, basically ruining his future . Of course he didn't feel that he was to blame for such a result. He still thinks that Tranquility and Qin Hai are not suitable for each other, and Qin Hai is not responsible for beating someone. Instead, he was punished. Bullying.

Given the gap between Qin Hai and Xu Yang, it would be difficult for Xu Yang to take revenge, so the resentment towards Qin Hai has always been accumulated in Xu Yang's heart, and he can't get rid of it. Who would have thought that a blue sky organization that fell from the sky would give Xu Yang a chance to vent his anger, which made Xu Yang overjoyed. The construction of the Daqin RX project in Yiping has come to an end, and tens of billions of dollars in construction funds have been invested. If there is a sudden change at this time to abort the project, the Daqin Group will be hit hard, which is enough to make Xu Yang severely Let out a bad breath.

It was precisely because of this idea that Xu Yang agreed to cooperate with Gusev and the others without saying a word. He helped Gusev persuade Guo Shuqing, and under the guise of Guo Shuqing, he helped Gusev and the others arrange large-scale speeches Activity. Things did not go beyond Xu Yang's expectation. Gusev and his group's sensational hype successfully caused panic among the citizens of Yiping. The Daqin RX project is under pressure.

Xu Yang knew that he didn't need to handle this matter. Gusev and the others didn't come to show their love. The purpose of their trip was to stop Daqin's RX project. He will definitely do it, and he will definitely do it more professionally than Xu Yang. All he has to do is to keep silent at the government level and wait for the storm to rise suddenly.

Gusev did not disappoint Xu Yang. Less than two days after several speeches, an organization called "Save Yiping" suddenly appeared on the Internet and began to call on the people of Yiping to petition the city government, demanding Stop the construction of Daqin RX project. For unknown reasons, this incident spread throughout Yiping City overnight, especially among government officials. The telephones of the Science and Technology Bureau, the Environmental Protection Bureau, the Development and Reform Commission and other units began to ring non-stop, and people from all walks of life came to inquire about related matters. Naturally, Guo Shuqing also heard about this matter, so he summoned Xu Yang immediately and asked him about the specific situation.

"There are still some controversies about the toxicity of RX." As expected of an engineering background, Xu Yang knows that there must be a basis for what he says. The device is not a high-pressure device, with high safety performance, and there will be no serious accidents such as explosions. The party that pays attention to environmental protection issues says that the toxicity of RX cannot be ignored, and the production device of RX is not absolutely reliable. These people believe that even the operating pressure Civilian boilers with only 2 to 3 atmospheres of pressure are also at risk of explosion, not to mention the RX synthesis device whose operating pressure can reach up to 30 atmospheres, so it is irresponsible to say that RX is absolutely safe.”

What he said was impeccable, but after careful consideration, one could hear Xu Yang's tendencies. He attributed the views of the two parties to representing different interests, implying that those who speak well of RX are bought by chemical companies, while those who oppose RX are the ones who truly represent justice. When talking about the toxicity of RX and the risk of the device, he cleverly interpreted the views of the opposing party as "absolutely non-toxic" and "absolutely safe", and then refuted it. At first glance, it is indeed very reasonable.

Guo Shuqing didn't know the grievances between Xu Yang and Qin Hai, and only thought that Xu Yang was speaking from the standpoint of the Science and Technology Bureau, so he didn't deliberately ponder the flaws in Xu Yang's words. Hearing what Xu Yang said, he also murmured in his heart. He asked, "How far is the Daqin Group's RX project from Yiping City?"

"It's less than 12 kilometers." Xu Yang replied without blinking after he had done his homework.

"I heard that foreign RX devices must be more than 100 kilometers away from the city?" Guo Shuqing asked again.

"Mr. Gusev said so in his speech." Xu Yang said evasively.

"How did the project be approved in the first place!" Guo Shuqing said angrily, "Didn't the environmental protection department conduct an audit?"

Xu Yang excused the Environmental Protection Bureau: "The comrades in the environmental protection department probably also consider it from the perspective of developing Yiping's economy. It is not easy for them."

"Ridiculous!" Xu Yang's words successfully aroused Guo Shuqing's anger. Xu Yang said that the Environmental Protection Agency is based on the needs of economic development, but in fact it implies that this kind of audit is fundamentally unqualified.

"We must convene the Standing Committee immediately to discuss this issue. Xiao Xu, as a representative of the Science and Technology Bureau, you are going to talk to the Standing Committee about this issue." Guo Shuqing ordered.
