Chapter 17 Sudden mine disaster

Saturday morning, the sun pierced the clouds and came alive. Hou Weidong always got up early, washed up, and went to the yard for activities.Deng Jiachun had already come out, and he was doing Taijiquan slowly in the yard. When he saw Hou Weidong approaching, he didn't stop, but only signaled with his eyes. After a set of movements was completed, Deng Jiachun came to Hou Weidong's side. "Deng Ju, you should go back to Shazhou, and you have to be relaxed in the revolution." Since Deng Jiachun arrived in Chengjin, Hou Weidong has not seen him go home.He was going to the provincial capital today, so he couldn't help but persuade him a few words.

Deng Jiachun took on the important task of finding out the cause of Zhang Yongtai's death.When I came to Chengjin, I began to focus on cleaning up the public security team.There are more than a hundred people, all kinds of people, although the police is a disciplined team, but people's hearts are scattered, and it is a very difficult task to clean up.During this period of time, in addition to his daily work, he continued to investigate and talk to the second-level team respectively. "The Chengjin public security team is very distracted, and I don't know how Lao Xiao led the team." Lao Xiao was the previous director of Chengjin Public Security Bureau, and he had been transferred to the Shazhou Municipal Bureau at this time.Deng Jiachun seldom commented on the work of his predecessor, and today he couldn't help it, and he only complained in front of Hou Weidong.

Hou Weidong was also very troubled by the problems in the cadre team: "This is directly related to Lao Xiao, but Lao Xiao cannot be blamed entirely. The police force is lax, as is the case with the party and government agencies. Cleaning up the ranks is a difficult task, and you can only eat one bite." Eat it in one bite, and you can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry.” Deng Jiachun rubbed his dark and thin face, and said: "I can't go home this week, I have to go to Feishi Town. The Feishi Police Station had a lot of problems during the last concentrated operation. I want to meet and discuss with the comrades in this police station. , understand the situation first-hand.”

Hou Weidong was very satisfied with Deng Jiachun, and said: "Let's make an agreement here first, and we must go home next week no matter what. Otherwise, when I see my sister-in-law, she will scold me for being a chicken crowing in the middle of the night." After talking with Deng Jiachun, he called Chunchun again and told him, "Accompany Zhumei to collect wind these two days, and don't go to too dangerous places." "Secretary Hou, don't worry, I won't take Zhumei to Houshan. I have discussed with her that I will go to Shazhou in the next two days." Spring has become good friends with Zhumei in these two days. .When interacting with Zhu Mei, on the one hand, it is because of Hou Weidong's face, and on the other hand, he really likes Zhu Mei.Although Zhu Mei is a deaf-mute, she is talented, intelligent, kind-hearted and very likable.

After walking in the yard for a while, and having breakfast with Zhu Mei, they arrived at the front yard. When they arrived at the front yard, Guo Lan was waiting downstairs with a small bag.According to the original plan, the two would go to the Provincial Party School by car together to attend classes. Hou Weidong laughed at himself: "When I worked in Chengjin County, I didn't go to the party school. According to the disciplinary regulations, I'm afraid I would have been expelled a long time ago." Waking up in the morning, Guo Lan deliberately chose a plain dress.Although the clothes are plain, they are inlaid with a few delicate dark flowers, which is a kind of restrained beauty, which matches Guo Lan's temperament very well.A ray of sunlight in the morning came out from under the laurel crown, filling Guo Lan's face with sunshine, her skin was as moist as jasper, and the few small freckles on the bridge of her nose not only did not destroy the overall beauty, but added vitality to it.

Hearing Hou Weidong's self-mockery, she smiled slightly and said, "You are new to Chengjin. This is a special situation, and the party school will consider it. I haven't heard that the party school has fired the secretary of the county party committee." Hou Weidong's eyes stayed on Guo Lan's face for a moment, facing this beautiful woman who had a special relationship with him, he suddenly felt a little tight in his breath. When getting into the car, Guo Lan hesitated for a moment, but got into the back seat anyway. This Audi is Hou Weidong's special car, and the back seat is like a tiger's back garden, and almost no one else enters it.At this time, Guo Lan sat in the right back seat, and the air in the car was different from usual, more warm and less serious.

Not long after leaving the city, Hu Hai, the director of the office, called. He said anxiously, "Secretary Hou, something happened! There was a safety accident in Yong'an Coal Mine, and a dozen or so workers were buried in the mine, and emergency rescue is still in progress." "How many people died?" "It's still being rescued, it's not clear yet, but there must be casualties." "I'll be there right away, and I'll do my best to organize rescue efforts without giving up any hope." Putting down the phone, Hou Weidong took a few deep breaths, and said to the driver, Lao Geng: "Stop the car, turn around, and go to Yong'an Coal Mine."

After arranging this matter, he said to Guo Lan, "I'm sorry, I can't go to class. There was a safety accident at Yong'an Coal Mine. I will arrange another car to take you to Lingxi." Guo Lan heard the sporadic conversation and knew the seriousness of the matter. She said, "Go and deal with it quickly. Leave me alone. I'll let Minister Li find a way to find a car." After Guo Lan got off the car, the car turned around and went straight to Yong'an Coal Mine. Yong'an Coal Mine is located in Hongxing Town, which is in the same mountain range as Feishi Town, except that one town is at the easternmost part of Chengjin County and the other is at the westernmost part of Chengjin County.The winding winding mountain road has beautiful scenery along the way. Hou Weidong is not in the mood to look at the scenery at all at this time. He keeps in touch with various departments on the phone and orders the buried people to be rescued at all costs.

When we arrived at Yong'an Coal Mine, we saw a busy scene. The deputy county magistrate Zhou Fuquan, the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee Cai Zhenggui, the director of the Public Security Bureau Deng Jiachun, and many officials from Hongxing Township all arrived at the scene, and the public security personnel pulled up the cordon.Seeing Hou Weidong, Zhou Fuquan ran over sweating profusely and said: "The coal mine collapsed, and a group was buried, with fourteen people." After more than an hour's drive, Hou Weidong calmed down and asked, "Is this the exact death toll? Are there any survivors?"

Zhou Fuquan wiped off his sweat again, and said, "I don't know the specific situation inside. Looking at it like this, I'm afraid that for a county, fourteen people died. According to Hou Weidong, even if Zhou Chang is fully covered, he must be dealt with." Hou Weidong understands this, but the reality does not allow him to consider personal gains and losses.He briefly listened to the report, and came to the first scene. In front of the dusty and crumbling mine, Deng Jiachun secretly pulled his sleeve and said in a low voice: "Secretary Hou, you can't be here, this place is unstable, and you may be killed at any time." If the top falls again, it will be a disaster if something happens again.”

Seeing Hou Weidong enter the mine, Zhou Fuquan hesitated for a moment, but followed him in, and persuaded: "Secretary Hou, get out quickly, it's dangerous here." Hou Weidong stared at the miner wielding a hoe to rescue, and said to Zhou Fuquan: "This is not possible, it is too slow, is there a professional rescue team in the county?" Zhou Fuquan is in charge of safety work. He is the specific person in charge. At this time, his face is also full of anxiety, and he said: "This place is too narrow, and there is no machinery. These people are old miners, and now they are the fastest." Hou Weidong took out his mobile phone, called Yang Liu directly, and said, "Yang Liu, you can ask the city mine rescue team again, where are they?" Under the persuasion of Zhou Fuquan, Deng Jiachun and others, Hou Weidong quit the mine.Although the time in the mine was short, due to the dusty and stuffy inside, Hou Weidong had already made a big face. At this time, dozens of workers with various tools such as shovels, small carts, and electric drills came.They stood outside silently, only waiting for the front-line people to get tired before replacing them. After more than an hour of excavation work, the first body was finally dug out.Under the heavy pressure, the face of the corpse was completely deformed. The police on duty quickly covered the corpse with a white cloth and carried it to the funeral car that had been prepared long ago. County magistrate Jiang Xiangyu hurried to the scene, and after meeting Hou Weidong, he said, "Secretary Hou, has this matter been reported to the municipal party committee or the municipal government?" Hou Weidong had calmed down now, and said: "Who dares to hide such a big matter?" He stared at the rescue scene, and said anxiously: "The Shazhou Mine Rescue Team will have to arrive in more than an hour. Manual, the progress is too slow." After speaking, he returned to the entrance of the mine. Jiang Xiangyu turned his eyes to the crowd around him, and when he saw Hu Hai, the director of the county party committee, standing at the entrance of the mine, he shouted, "Hu Hai, come here." Hu Hai ran over and stood in front of Jiang Xiangyu.Jiang Xiangyu adjusted his glasses and said, "How many deaths have been reported to the municipal party committee and the municipal government?" Hu Haidao: "I just dug up a corpse, and I haven't had time to report it yet. Now I just reported the general situation to the city." Jiang Xiangyu said: "You have to report the situation to the city at any time. If there is an accident, you have to have a good attitude." He also urged, "The manuscript must be sent to Secretary Hou and me. Don't make decisions without authorization." After explaining, he shouted to a group of doctors, "Is Dean Zhu here?" A man with glasses in his fifties ran over and stood in front of the two county leaders.Jiang Xiangyu said solemnly: "For the lives of the fourteen class brothers, the hospital must do its utmost to rescue the wounded. Even if there is still one breath left, you must not give up. You will follow my command when the time comes, and I will let you rescue them, and you will immediately organize an ambulance to send them to the county. go inside." Dean Zhu has worked in Chengjin Hospital all his life, and he has seen many large-scale mining accidents, and participated in the rescue with Jiang Xiangyu more than once.Hearing Jiang Xiangyu's arrangement, he nodded understandingly, and said: "I am fully prepared. When one comes out, I will immediately send it to the hospital for emergency treatment. The head of that person just now was completely smashed and cannot be rescued." Just as he was talking, there was another cry in front of the mine, and another person was carried out. The man closed his eyes tightly, and the blood on his head wet all the soil on his chest.Hou Weidong pushed away the crowd, stretched out his hand to test the tip of the man's nose, his heart tightened, the man was not breathing. Jiang Xiangyu said from the side: "Dean Zhu, hurry up and organize doctors to rescue him." Several doctors and nurses quickly came over with stretchers, trotted all the way, and carried the injured into the car. Seeing a trace of doubt flashing in Hou Weidong's eyes, Jiang Xiangyu quickly pulled him aside, and said in a low voice: "If you send the person to the hospital for emergency treatment, they can be reported as injured, which is not considered death on the spot. And it is humanitarian to try our best to rescue them." No matter how you look at it, it makes sense.” The level of disaster is divided according to the number of deaths, and the rescue in the hospital is considered to be the wounded.After rescue, there is a small but important difference in counting the number of deaths.Jiang Xiangyu has been a county magistrate in Chengjin for many years, so he is very experienced in this. Hou Weidong thought to himself: "If fourteen people really died, no matter what small tricks they use, they won't be able to deal with it." Even so, he still acquiesced to Jiang Xiangyu's approach. Two people were dug out one after another, one of them was still breathing, and the other was not in a good condition. After the two dug out, several groups of people went in one after another and advanced six or seven meters, but no more dead workers were found.The dozens of miners who forcibly dug the tunnel were exhausted, but they refused to withdraw.When the city's mine rescue team was about to arrive, the miners' hands were full of blood blisters.Seeing the rescue team with the excavation machinery, the rescue miners withdrew.As soon as they reached the periphery, the miners all fell asleep on the ground. Hou Weidong didn't care about consolation, he said to the captain of the rescue team: "Time is life, on behalf of the people of Chengjin County, I ask you." The captain of the rescue team was a man with a loud voice. , The second group is ready, take turns." Soon there was a rumbling sound of machinery turning, and Hou Weidong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this sound. In Lingxi, when the group discussion of the Provincial Party Committee Enlarged Meeting ended, Meng Haofang left the venue.Zhou Changquan immediately turned on the phone, and within five seconds of turning it on, he received a call from Hou Weidong. He heard the sound and said loudly, "How many people? Say it again." Although three hundred miles away, Hou Weidong could still feel Zhou Changquan's wrath.He was fully prepared at this time, and said: "At that time, there was a team of fourteen workers who went down the tunnel. Now four people have been dug out, three have been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, and one has died." When Zhou Changquan spoke, his voice was a little loud, and the mayor of Maoyun, Zhu Yan, who was sitting next to him, turned his head to look at him. At this time, Mayor Liu Bing was packing up the documents on the table and preparing to get up. "Mayor Liu, something is up." Zhou Changquan came to Liu Bing, lowered his voice, and said with a stern face, "I just received a call. There was a mine accident in Chengjin County. The roof fell. A group of fourteen people were all buried inside. .Now four people have been dug up, and one person is confirmed dead." Liu Bing was also taken aback. He quickly reached out and took out his mobile phone from his handbag. There were about a dozen missed calls in it.He looked up at Zhou Changquan and said, "If it is true, this is the biggest accident in Lingxi Province this year." Zhou Changquan said: "This matter must be reported to the Provincial Party Committee as soon as possible, and I will go to Secretary Haofang. You hurry to Chengjin to organize rescue and minimize the negative impact." In the face of such a major event, Liu Bing did not dare to have second thoughts, saying: "I'll go back now." He muttered: "This Chengjin County always has accidents." When Zhou and Liu walked out of the meeting room, they saw the secretary Chu Xiuhong and the secretary Xiao Qin looking around anxiously.Chu Xiuhong ran over in a hurry and said, "Secretary Zhou, something serious happened in Chengjin County." Zhou Changquan glanced at him and said, "I know." Then he walked out the door without saying a word. Xiu Hong followed closely. In Chengjin Yongan Coal Mine, Hou Weidong stared closely at the mine. It was already 1:30 in the afternoon, and all the people in the mine had not eaten.Of course no one thought about eating. The professional rescue team has machinery and experience, and quickly dug about 30 meters.Still no one was seen, no corpse was seen, and everyone still had some hope.But as the rescue team dug deeper, everyone stared at the hole and became more and more nervous. The family members of the underground miners were stopped outside by the Hongxing Town government and the people in the mine. As time went on, they were crying.Excited family members wanted to rush in. The party secretary of Hongxing Town, Gu Yunfeng, was only thirty-four years old and the youngest party secretary in Chengjin County.At this time, his hair was disheveled and his voice was hoarse. While stopping the family members who were rushing in, he said earnestly: "You wait here. If you squeeze into the mine, it will affect the rescue work. I understand your feelings, please." Cooperate with the rescue team and wait here." Standing by the side of the mine, Hou Weidong didn't pay attention to the noise outside. He had a fierce face and stared at the mine. At this time, the rescue team was exhausted, and when they heard an exit order, they all sat on the ground.After receiving the Dahai Bowl, I only heard a "cuckoo" sound, and the Dahai Bowl was empty in a blink of an eye. The miners who regained their strength rushed to the front line again. Compared with the professional rescue team, they were less organized. Since the people inside were all familiar friends, they were far crazier than the rescue team. Suddenly, there was a wild cry from the mine.Soon, a miner rushed out, yelling wildly: "We got through, and we're still alive!" Hou Weidong jumped up, grabbed the running miner, and said, "How many people are alive?" The miner didn't realize that the person who caught him was the secretary of the county party committee. He struggled desperately like a star shooting into the goal, and said in his mouth: "All of them are alive. The place where the roof collapsed is only more than 30 meters away. .” Zhou Fuquan was overjoyed, stood at the mouth of the well, and said: "Be careful, cover your eyes, or you will hurt your eyes." Soon, ten miners came out with eyes tied.They had been trapped in the well for more than six hours. Although the time was not long, they were extremely frightened. When they got out of the well, they all fell limp on the ground.Excited family members rushed forward. Those who found their relatives naturally felt like they had escaped from death, while those who did not find their relatives were in a hurry. When Hou Weidong saw that the ten people came out safely, he let out a deep breath, feeling a little bit like the rest of his life.He immediately took out his mobile phone and called Zhou Changquan, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. At this time Zhou Changquan had already arrived at the provincial party committee office. The provincial party committee secretary Meng Haofang was talking with someone, so he had to wait in the small conference room next to Meng Haofang, while his secretary Chu Xiuhong was in the hall downstairs.Zhou Changquan reports to Meng Haofang a lot every year, and all the staff in the office know him well.But unfortunately today, when we arrived at the office, all the familiar friends were still at the venue and did not come back.Standing guard in the small meeting room was a young man who was a freshman. This young man graduated from graduate school and worked in the Provincial Party Committee Office for less than two months.I heard that someone introduced himself as the secretary of the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee. He poured Zhou Changquan a glass of cold water in a paper cup, but he did not exchange greetings. He left Zhou Changquan aside and focused on the computer on the workbench. Zhou Changquan could have visited other offices originally, but the matter of Chengjin was too important, he had to report to Meng Haofang immediately, and stayed in the small meeting room.Sitting with eyes wide open for a while, he was already annoyed, and now he was even more annoyed.At this time, the mobile phone rang, and it was Hou Weidong's anxious voice: "Secretary Zhou, 14 people were buried in Yong'an Coal Mine, and 12 people have been rescued. Two are confirmed dead, and one is still being rescued." Zhou Changquan breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's a blessing in misfortune." After inquiring about the details, he added, "I'm at the provincial party committee, and I'm going to report this matter to Secretary Meng. Mayor Liu is rushing to Chengjin, what's your next step?" What are your plans?" This question was very broad, and Hou Weidong pondered: "After the document on rectification of non-ferrous metal mines in the province came out, there were many conflicts at the grassroots level. This time, we will gradually start the rectification work with the help of the coal mine." Zhou Changquan was very happy when he heard this, and said: "You have learned to look at problems dialectically, and it is very good that you can turn a bad thing into a good thing." After a word of praise, he confessed, "You can contact Secretary-General Hong in a while and ask him to organize Propaganda staff, do two special programs, one with the theme of active rescue, and the other with the theme of vigorously rectifying potential safety hazards." Zhou Changquan was preparing to explain the mayor Liu Bing's visit to Chengjin when Zheng Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee walked in. He said with a smile on his face, "Secretary Zhou, what's the matter? It's so urgent." Breathe a sigh of relief." Hearing about the Yong'an Coal Mine in Chengjin County, Secretary-General Zheng also took a deep breath: "It's dangerous, if fourteen people really died, Secretary Meng's temper will definitely deal with them." Zhou Changquan said emotionally: "The county dealt with it in a timely manner and acted forcefully. After digging for seven hours, they dug out a lifeline with flesh and blood." Then Secretary-General Zheng said: "Go in quickly, Secretary Meng is receiving British guests, and only has ten minutes to report to you." Seeing that Secretary-General Zheng was very close to the visitor, the young man in the office couldn't help but look at Zhou Changquan's back twice more. Hou Weidong hung up the phone and called Zhou Fuquan, the deputy county magistrate, to his side, saying: "Now it is clear that two people have died, one is out of danger after being rescued, and the other is still being rescued, and his life is not out of danger for the time being. A good result. However, after all, two people have died, and it is also a major safety accident. You stay in Hongxing Town and help the town solve the matter, so as not to leave any sequelae." Originally thought that the entire army of fourteen people was wiped out, at least eleven people were rescued at this time, which has far exceeded the expectations of the deputy county magistrate Zhou Fuquan.The nature of this matter did not cause a qualitative change due to insufficient quantitative changes. His cold sweat and hot sweat alternated, and his shirt was stained with several layers of hoarfrost on his back.Although he looked a bit embarrassed, Zhou Fuquan was completely calm in his heart. Although the death of three people at one time was a major accident, it was not uncommon in coal-producing counties.This also means that he, the leader in charge of the county government, has kept his official position. After listening to Hou Weidong's arrangement, he nodded and said, "Secretary Hou, don't worry, I'll take care of the funeral." Just after talking with Zhou Fuquan, Jiang Xiangyu walked out from the crowd, pulled Hou Weidong aside, and said, "I received a call that Mayor Liu is going to Chengjin soon. It's almost here, let's go back quickly." Just as they were about to leave, the Hongxing town government sent steamed buns and rice porridge to Yong'an Coal Mine. They were busy saving people just now, and no one felt hungry. Now that the overall situation has been settled, everyone felt that their stomachs were stuck to their backs. Hou Weidong said to Jiang Xiangyu: "Eat the steamed bun first, and then go back to Chengjin." He took a bite of the steamed bun, it was really delicious. Hou Weidong, Jiang Xiangyu, Zhou Fuquan, Deng Jiachun, Cai Zhenggui and other county leaders each grabbed a white steamed bun and a bowl of porridge, gathered together, and ate happily. The newspaper reporters who rushed over saw this scene and hurriedly snapped countless pictures. Back in the county, Mayor Liu Bing was already waiting in the county committee meeting room. He had a fair complexion, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and combed his hair meticulously. He was clean, tidy, mature, and stable. When Hou Weidong and Jiang Xiangyu entered the room, Liu Bing didn't have a smile on his face, his voice was not loud, but his tone was heavy, and he said, "What's the matter? You are afraid that Shazhou will not be able to make such a big commotion at the enlarged meeting of the Provincial Party Committee." Are you famous?" When Hou Weidong was in Yiyang New Management Committee, Liu Bing was already the mayor of Shazhou City. From this perspective, Liu Bing was Hou Weidong's genuine old leader. He could only bow his head and listen when he was reprimanded by the old leader. . After listening to the report, Liu Bing calmed down a little, and said to Jiang Xiangyu: "Xiangyu, I have to say a few words about you this time. Weidong just arrived in Chengjin, so it is understandable that he is not familiar with the situation. You are old in Chengjin , we should take things seriously." When Liu Bing said this, he was fair on the surface, but he actually looked down on Hou Weidong. Hou Weidong was full of displeasure, and secretly said: "As the mayor of a city, how can you talk like this? This is not to make us unite, but to make us fight among ourselves." According to the classical theory, man is the sum of all social relations.From this point of view, people are complex and contradictory complexes, and it is difficult to objectively evaluate a person, so there is a conclusion.How to evaluate Hou Weidong, a thousand people have a thousand opinions: in the eyes of Zhou Changquan, this is a talent worthy of heavy responsibility; in the eyes of Liu Bing, he is a typical character who is successful at a young age and proud of his spring breeze; in the eyes of Yang Senlin, He is a mature young man who is experienced in handling affairs; but in the eyes of Liu Kun, Chief of the Secretary Section of the Shazhou Municipal Government, he is a mountain, a mountain that lies in front of him, and a mountain that gives him countless pressures. After the report was over, Liu Kun came to Secretary-General Yang Senlin and reminded him in a low voice: "Secretary-General, Mayor Liu and you haven't eaten yet, should we have lunch first?" In fact, Yang Senlin didn't forget about this. He looked at his watch and said, "Mayor Liu, it's 3 o'clock. Let's talk while eating. We can't always be hungry." At this time, it has been determined that three people died in the Yongan Coal Mine accident.Although this was a major safety accident, the death expectations of 14 people were compared with the previous ones. This result made Liu Bing, Hou Weidong and others feel lucky. The tense atmosphere slowly disappeared.Knowing that Mayor Liu hadn't eaten yet, Hou Weidong stood up quickly, patted his forehead, and said in self-criticism: "I'm so confused, I should have thought that Mayor Liu hadn't eaten yet, and it's really a sin to let the leaders go hungry." Asking Yang Senlin for instructions, he said, "Secretary-General, let me ask the small restaurant of the County Guest House to prepare it, okay?" Yang Senlin said: "I've been hungry for so long, as long as I'm full." Hou Weidong personally called Hu Yonglin of the guest house and said, "Director Hu, hurry up and prepare meals for six or seven people. We need home-cooked food, so hurry up. Mayor Liu is still hungry." After a brief observation and confirmation with information from other channels, Mayor Liu Bing came to a basic conclusion: "Although Hou Weidong is young and has not been in Chengjin for a long time, he is a strong county party secretary. He can To do this within a few days shows that Hou Weidong does have a few talents, and he is not a pure follower." Liu Bing's complexion improved completely, and he finally smiled, "Weidong and Xiangyu rushed back from Yong'an Coal Mine, so they probably didn't have time to eat." Seeing the mayor's smile, Hou Weidong relaxed and said, "After rescuing eleven miners, I ate a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge in the coal mine." "The people in Weidong are young, how can they stand up to this little thing, they must have been hungry long ago, the emperor will send hungry soldiers, let's go, let's eat." Liu Bing stood up and took the lead out of the conference room of the Chengjin County Committee. Hou Weidong followed closely, and when he reached the small restaurant of the County Party Committee Guest House, he took the time to shake hands with Liu Kun, and said politely: "Old classmate, please take care of me." Liu Kun said: "You are the majestic secretary of the county party committee, and I am just a small section chief. How dare you say that you take care of me. You should take care of me." Less than ten years after graduating, Hou Weidong is now in charge of the government, and it can be said that he has soared into the sky. This reality deeply hurt Liu Kun's heart.For so many nights, thinking of Hou Weidong's embarrassment when he first arrived in Shangqinglin and his current success, he felt as if a hand was pulling him, making him extremely uncomfortable.After deep reflection, he clearly realized that if he was still working in Yiyang County, he would never be able to catch up with Hou Weidong in his life.Yang Senlin, secretary-general of the municipal government, is the big tree that Liu Kun climbed, and it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.When Yang Senlin was promoted from deputy secretary-general to secretary-general, Liu Kun became the chief of the secretary department of the municipal government office.Although the director of the Yiyang County Government Office and the head of the Shazhou Municipal Government's Secretary Section are both regular departments, the development potential of the latter is undoubtedly greater than that of the former. The service level of the small restaurant is really good. After receiving the task, he immediately listed the recipes, which are all home-cooked dishes such as braised crucian carp, fried chicken with mushrooms, and Kung Pao chicken that Hou Weidong usually likes to eat.The main seat is naturally Liu Bing, followed by Yang Senlin, Hou Weidong, Jiang Xiangyu, Liu Kun and others. Liu Kun looked critically at the home-cooked dishes that were served, and said to himself, "A bumpkin is a bumpkin. The mayor is here, and he just cooks these few bad dishes." When Jiang Xiangyu introduced his job, he kept a low profile. When he arrived at the restaurant, he talked more, saying: "Mayor Liu, the chef of the small restaurant is a master of home cooking. The same ingredients, the same cooking method, the taste of the dishes is just the same. no the same." Liu Bing took a bite of fried chicken with mushrooms, and couldn't help but praise: "The chicken is smooth and tender, the mushrooms are fragrant, and the taste is very authentic." Jiang Xiangyu tentatively asked, "Mayor Liu, would you like a drink or two?" Liu Bing waved his hand and said, "If you don't drink alcohol, your taste buds will be ruined, and even the best dishes will lose their taste. Get me a bowl of rice." Hou Weidong was only at the bottom of Yong'an Coal Mine, and now he was really hungry. Seeing that Liu Bing was eating well, he opened his stomach to eat. Liu Bing ate two bowls of dry rice in a row, then he stopped, loosened his tie, and said, "Today's meal is comfortable, Lin, we must eat like this in the future, and don't drink unless important leaders are present. Dry rice and home cooking, this is the real delicacy." After dinner, Hou Weidong said: "Mayor Liu, the county party committee and the county government are responsible for the mining accident in Yong'an Coal Mine this time. Fourteen lives were lost. Now that I think about it, the hairs still stand on end. I want to make a review to the municipal party committee and the city government. " Liu Bing wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, and said: "Responsibility must be investigated, at least the leader of the County Safety Supervision Bureau will be punished. However, accountability is not the goal, what is more important is to learn lessons and not commit similar crimes again. Question." He paused, and said, "Don't talk about you, my hair stands on end when I think about it. Secretary Zhou is holding an enlarged meeting of the Provincial Party Committee, and when he received the call, he immediately went to Secretary Meng for a review. This kind of review is still Less is better." "It's a painful experience. I still don't have enough safety awareness at ordinary times. The alarm bell should keep ringing." Hou Weidong raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said, "My idea is to make up for it. The main leaders of the level team, the main leaders of the township, and some coal mine business owners and non-ferrous metal mine business owners will hold a safety work meeting in the county party committee conference room to report the mine disaster and arrange safety rectification work at the same time. If Mayor Liu can attend the meeting to emphasize , the effect will definitely be better.” Liu Bing was still a little surprised by Hou Weidong's quick reaction, and said, "So fast, can everyone from the village and town arrive?" Hou Weidong said: "When the rescue was successful, I discussed with County Magistrate Jiang, Lao Zhou, and Deng Jiachun. There are many mining companies in Chengjin, and we all felt that the sooner the meeting was held, the better." Liu Bing still agreed to attend the security work cadre meeting in Chengjin County. When he walked into the meeting place, he immediately stunned all the cadres present. The meeting first notified the accident in Yongan Coal Mine.Secondly, the county magistrate Jiang Xiangyu will arrange the next stage of safety rectification work.Then Hou Weidong spoke. Hou Weidong spoke very succinctly: "This is a bloody lesson. If we continue to condone violations of safety production, it is a crime against the people. We must show iron wrists and strike hard against violations." It’s all about killing, and said, “I’m going to put my words here. All coal mines, lead-zinc mines, molybdenum mines, and other mining enterprises with potential safety hazards must be closed for rectification. If they fail to meet the standards, they will be closed. When county-level leaders are involved, the county party committee must truthfully report to the municipal party committee and the city government." The meeting place was extremely quiet, only Hou Weidong's harsh voice. Sitting at the bottom of the venue, Liu Kun was really shocked when he saw Hou Weidong's power. At the same time, he made up his mind: "If Hou Weidong can be the secretary of the county party committee, why can't I be?" "Next, I invite Mayor Liu to make an important speech. Everyone welcomes you." Hou Weidong spoke harshly before he carried Liu Bing out. From the perspective of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, Liu Bing made another request for safety work. His speech was quite satisfactory, and of course Hou Weidong's murderous spirit was not there.However, he is the mayor of Shazhou City, so for the county cadres, the weight of his speech is naturally extraordinary. This meeting put a lot of pressure on the participants. After the meeting ended, countless families ushered in a sleepless night. Back in the office of the Shazhou Municipal Government, the mayor Liu Bing said to Yang Senlin who followed him: "Jiang Xiangyu is also an old comrade. He once argued with Zhang Yongtai. I think he is very obedient to this young man Hou Weidong. This Hou Weidong really has a lot of sternness, I really underestimated him before." After Yang Senlin became the secretary-general, he had a very good relationship with the mayor Liu Bing. Regarding today's incident, he also sighed in his heart, saying: "When I came to Yiyang to work, he was already the director of Yiyang's new management committee. I became the deputy secretary of the county party committee in a short time, and this official is promoted quickly." He added, "He is indeed a well-organized person, from three aspects: First, when he was working in Yiyang Qinglin Town, he skipped the ticket and became the deputy town secretary. This is the only case in Lingxi where a skipping cadre became the deputy secretary of the county party committee. Second, he served as a secretary for the county and city secretaries. Looking at the whole of Lingxi, this should be the only case. It is rare to have such a situation; third, it is the first case in the past twenty years in Lingxi that he became the deputy secretary of the county party committee and presided over the work of the county party committee under the age of thirty." Liu Bing knew Hou Weidong before, but he just regarded him as Zhou Changquan's shadow.At this time, after listening to Yang Senlin's words, he thought about it carefully and said, "This young man is really not simple, but too much limelight may not be a good thing."
