Episode 7 recap: Zheng Han Jiang quietly conducted tests on the groundwater.
As heavy rain fell from the sky, Zheng Han Jiang was still at the site, helping out. Liao Yu Zheng and Li Zi Ping were very worried. Zheng Han Jiang stayed busy until late in the evening before returning home. The first thing he did was take a nice hot shower. Originally, Zheng Han Jiang had wanted to spend some quality time with his wife and give her a kiss. Xiao Xue thought she would go and put their daughter to sleep first. However, when she returned, Zheng Han Jiang was already asleep. It seemed that the workload during this period had indeed been too exhausting. He didn't stay awake for long after lying down in bed.
Wang Cheng and his team had already surveyed the 9th cave. Every time they reached a new cave, they would bring back samples of water and soil for testing. During the morning meeting, Zheng Han Jiang once again received praise from Liao Yu Zheng. After all, he was the only leader present at the site personally handling the waste disposal. There were still many unresolved issues. Although the waste had been cleaned up for now, if the residents didn't leave, new waste would inevitably be produced. Director Li Li from the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Commission also mentioned that the upcoming problem-solving would be very difficult. This matter needed to be resolved as soon as possible. Some people felt that the ordinary people were not at fault, while others held opposing views. It was not an easy task to persuade the residents to move away when they had spent their entire lives' savings on buying a house, which had now become a half-finished building. If the government took over, it would require a large amount of funding.
Today's meeting did not come up with a solution. Wang Cheng happened to call Zheng Han Jiang and told him that he would bring the samples back for him to help with the testing. However, this matter should not be disclosed to anyone. Zheng Han Jiang personally conducted the testing and recorded the entire experimental results with a voice recorder. Meanwhile, Wang Cheng had not left and was still waiting for the test results and further surveying.
Zheng Han Jiang and Xiao Xue accompanied their daughter to participate in a performance. The couple took a photo with their daughter backstage. Soon, it was time for the children to perform. The couple prepared themselves in the front row, hoping to see their daughter's splendid performance. Zheng Han Jiang took out his phone and started recording. He was delighted watching his daughter gracefully dancing. While recording, Zheng Han Jiang kept receiving unknown calls, but he hung up without saying a word. Xiao Xue received a call from the hospital, informing her that there was an urgent surgery that needed to be done, leaving her with almost no time to help their daughter change clothes. After explaining the situation, she hurriedly left.
朱正才 (Zhu Zhengcai) also called Zheng Han Jiang and urged him to quickly check the news online. It turned out that the incident of Zheng Han Jiang personally leading the waste disposal had caused a stir on the internet. It even claimed that Zheng Han Jiang was the only competent leader, while other government officials were useless. When Zheng Han Jiang saw this, he became very angry. After inquiring, he found out that it was a journalist named Anna who had released the news, and it had already gained a high number of views. Although it praised Zheng Han Jiang, it also criticized the mayor. The public opinion effect of this matter was indeed unfavorable.
Seeing that his daughter was about to continue performing, Zheng Han Jiang hung up the phone and went to continue recording a video of his daughter. However, he still had some concerns in his heart, thinking about what Zhu Zhengcai had said.
Now everyone in the municipal government is having a meeting because Anna's comments on the internet have attracted a lot of attention from netizens. Zheng Han Jiang waited until his daughter finished her dance and then arranged to meet Anna to explain the situation and avoid any misunderstandings.
Zheng Han Jiang had a meal with Anna and his daughter. Anna stated that she was just reporting what she witnessed during the whole incident. Zheng Han Jiang sat beside her and explained that Liao Yu Zheng and Li Zi Ping were also present at the scene and took action only after they agreed with his report. However, Anna still refused to believe it.
While Zhu Zhengcai was using the restroom, he called Zheng Han Jiang and informed him about the ongoing discussions. Zheng Han Jiang also hoped that Anna would retract the published news, but Anna was unwilling to do so. Zheng Han Jiang expressed that he just wanted to do his job properly.
Zheng Han Jiang mentioned that even if he quit, he could go back to being a teacher, and there was no need to vent his emotions on the internet. Zhu Zhengcai quickly called Zheng Han Jiang again and revealed that before Anna talked to him, the municipal government officials had also invited her and hoped she would retract the video, but Anna refused.
However, after meeting Zheng Han Jiang, Anna unexpectedly retracted the video, and Zhu Zhengcai expressed his appreciation for Zheng Han Jiang. Anna called Zheng Han Jiang and said that she was willing to retract the video, with the only condition being that Zheng Han Jiang would inform her first-hand about the latest news and make it public to the people.
In the evening, Zheng Han Jiang returned to the laboratory to continue testing. Xiao Xue learned that her husband had not returned and went to the school laboratory to find him. Secretary Yan found Zheng Han Jiang while he was at work and asked about his relationship with Qian Qi. Zheng Han Jiang honestly explained that after Qian Qi returned from abroad, he brought gifts for their whole family. Their relationship was already good, so it was normal to have meals and exchange gifts.
