Economic development must prioritize environmental protection first!
It was precisely because the paper mill failed to meet environmental standards that it was shut down. However, the sudden unemployment of so many workers became a significant issue.
In theory, the company has already provided these workers with financial compensation after the mill's closure, and they shouldn't be causing any more trouble.
But, the compensation was too little and barely made a difference, so these workers staged a sit-in at the county government, demanding jobs, which gave County Magistrate Zhang a headache.
After reaching a verbal agreement with Lin Hao, County Magistrate Zhang informed the paper mill workers about it.
However, they thought it was just an excuse by the county government to fool them, so they returned to stage a sit-in, prompting Zhang Bo to seek help from Lin Hao.
