Chapter 488: Taking Advantage (Part 2)
Lingxi, when the conference was announced to end, Zhou Changquan habitually turned on his phone. After just under five seconds of opening, he received a call from Hou Weidong. He heard the sound and said loudly: "How many people, say it again."
Although it was three hundred miles away, Hou Weidong could still feel Zhou Changquan's anger. He was already fully prepared at this time and said: "The workers who went down the tunnel had a team of fourteen people. Now four people were dug out, three were sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, and one person was already dead."
Zhou Changquan's voice was a little loud when he spoke. Tan Gongquan, Secretary of the Maoyun Municipal Party Committee and Mayor Zhu Yan, who were sitting next to him, all turned around and looked at him.
At this time, Mayor Liu Bing was packing the documents on the table and preparing to get up.
"Mayor Liu, there is something wrong." Zhou Changquan came to Liu Bing, lowered his voice, and said with a cold face, "Just received a call, Chengjin County had a mine accident and was in the forefront. A group of fourteen people were buried inside. Now four people were dug up, and one person was confirmed to be dead."
Liu Bing was also shocked. He quickly reached out to take out his cell phone from his handbag. There were about a dozen missed calls inside. He looked up at Zhou Changquan and said, "If the matter 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. I will go to Secretary Haofang. Hurry up and organize rescue to minimize the negative impact."
In the face of such a big event, Liu Bing did not dare to have any worries and said, "I'll go back now." He muttered, "There are always something wrong in Chengjin County."
Zhou and Liu walked out of the conference room. When they saw the secretary Chu Xiuhong and Xiao Qin looking around anxiously, Chu Xiuhong hurriedly ran over and said, "Secretary Zhou. Chengjin County has something big to do." Zhou Changquan glanced at him and said, "I know." Then he walked out of the door without saying a word. Chu Xiuhong was stunned and still chased after him tightly.
At Chengjin Yong'an Coal Mine, Hou Weidong stared at the mine. It was already 1:30 noon and no one in the mine had no meals. Of course, no one was thinking about eating.
The professional rescue team had machinery and experience, and quickly dug about 30 meters. Still no one was seen or the corpse could be seen. Everyone still had some hope, but as the rescue team digged deeper, everyone stared at the entrance of the cave, and became more and more nervous.
The family members of the miner who entered the well were stopped outside by the Hongxing Town government and the people in the mine. As time went by, there were already crying. Excited family members wanted to rush in. Gu Yunfeng, secretary of the Party Committee of Hongxing Town, is only 34 years old. He is the youngest Party Secretary in Chengjin County. At this time, his hair was scattered and his throat was hoarse. While blocking the family members rushing in, he said earnestly: "You are waiting here and squeezed to the mine. It will affect the rescue work. I understand your mood. Please cooperate with the rescue team and wait here."
Hou Weidong, who was standing by the mine cave, ignored the noise outside at all. He looked a little fierce and stared at the mine cave.
At this time, the rescue team was too tired. When they heard the order to withdraw, they all sat on the ground. After taking the big sea bowl, they could only hear a "Adam's apple" sound, and the big sea bowl became empty in a blink of an eye.
The miners with sufficient rest rushed to the front line again. They had less structure than the professional rescue team. Since the people inside were all familiar friends, they were far more crazy than the unrescue team.
Suddenly, a burst of shouts came from the mine. Soon, a miner ran out and shouted: "It's opened, and I'm still alive."
Hou Weidong jumped up, and he grabbed the running miner and said, "How many people are alive?" The miner did not realize that the person who caught him was the county party secretary. He struggled desperately like a star who shot the goal, and said, "Everyone is alive, the place where the top is only more than 30 meters, and it has been dug through."
Zhou Fuquan was overjoyed. He stood at the wellhead and said, "Be careful, cover your eyes, otherwise you will hurt your eyes."
Soon, ten miners walked out with their eyes wrapped around. They had been trapped in the well for more than six hours. Although they were not long, they were extremely frightened and all fell to the ground after they left the well. The excited family members rushed up, and the families who found their relatives naturally felt dead and escaped, while the few families who did not find their relatives were so anxious that they were in a hurry.
When Hou Weidong saw these ten people coming out safely, he breathed a deep breath and felt a little over the disaster. He immediately took his cell phone and called Zhou Changquan, secretary of the municipal party committee.
At this time, Zhou Changquan had already arrived at the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee. Provincial Party Secretary Meng Haofang was talking to others, so he had to wait in the small conference room next to Meng Haofang, while his secretary Chu Xiuhong was in the lobby downstairs.
Zhou Changquan reported to Meng Haofang a lot of times every year, and the staff of the General Office were very familiar with him, but unfortunately, when he arrived at the General Office today, his familiar friends were still at the venue and they did not come back. The person who was guarding the General Office was a young man with a face-to-face child. The young man graduated from graduate school and worked in the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee for less than two months. He heard that he was the Secretary of the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee. He poured Zhou Changquan a cup of cold boiled water with a paper cup, but did not exchange greetings. He threw Zhou Changquan aside and stared at the computer intently.
Zhou Changquan could have visited other offices, but Chengjin's affairs were too important, so he had to report Meng Haofang as soon as possible, so he stayed in the young man's room.
He sat down with his eyes open for a while, and he was already annoyed, and even more annoyed at this time.
At this time, the phone rang, and it was Hou Weidong's anxious voice: "Secretary Zhou, the fourteen people buried in Yong'an Coal Mine have rescued twelve people. The two are confirmed to be dead, and one is still in rescue."
Zhou Changquan also relaxed in one breath and said, "What a blessing in disgrace." After asking about the details, he said, "I am in the provincial party committee and am preparing to report this to Secretary Meng. Mayor Liu is rushing to Chengjin. What are your plans for the next step?"
This sentence was asked very broadly. Hou Weidong pondered: "After the province's documents on rectifying phosphate ores, I encountered many conflicts at the grassroots level. I have never made up my mind. This time, I am going to take advantage of the opportunity to rectify the small phosphate ores."
Zhou Changquan was very happy to hear this and said, "You have learned to look at problems dialectically. It's great to turn bad things into good things." After a compliment, he explained, "You can contact Secretary General Hong for a while and ask him to organize propaganda personnel to do two special programs, one is about active rescue, and the other is about vigorously rectifying safety hazards."
Zhou Changquan was about to instruct Mayor Liu Bing to come to Chengjin. Zheng Benqing, deputy secretary-general of the Provincial Party Committee, walked in. He looked up and said, "Secretary Zhou, what's the matter? It's so urgent." Zhou Changquan and Zheng Benqing had a different relationship, and said, "It was originally an urgent matter, but now I'm relieved."
After hearing about the Yonghong Coal Mine in Chengjin County, Zheng Benqing also took a breath: "It's so dangerous. If fourteen people really died, Secretary Meng's temper would definitely deal with a series of people." Zhou Changquan said emotionally: "The county handled it very promptly and acted vigorously. He dug for seven hours and dug out a lifeline with his flesh and blood."
Zheng Benqing then said, "Go in quickly. Secretary Meng is receiving British guests, so he only left ten of the situation to report to you."
Seeing that Deputy 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.
Hou Weidong hung up the phone and called Deputy County Magistrate Zhou Fuquan to his side and said, "It is clear that the two people have died. One has been rescued and has been rescued. The other is still in danger. It is the best result. However, after all, the two people have died, which is also a major safety accident. You can stay in Hongxing Town to help the town solve this problem and not leave any sequelae."
It turned out that fourteen people were wiped out, and at least eleven people were rescued at this time, which was far beyond the expectations of Deputy County Magistrate Zhou Fuquan. The nature of this matter did not cause qualitative changes from insufficient quantity. His cold sweat and hot sweat alternated, and his shirt was stained with several layers of white frost on his back.
Although he looked a little embarrassed, Zhou Fuquan completely calmed down deep down. Although the death of three people at one time was a major accident, it was also common in coal-producing counties, which means that he, the leader in charge of the county government, saved his official position.
After hearing Hou Weidong's arrangement, he nodded and said, "Secretary Hou, don't worry, I'll handle the funeral."
As soon as he finished talking to Zhou Fuquan, Jiang Xiangyu walked out of the crowd, pulled Hou Weidong aside, and said, "I received the call. Mayor Liu is about to arrive in Chengjin. It's almost here, let's go back quickly."
Just as they were about to leave, the Hongxing Town Government delivered steamed buns and porridge to Yong'an Coal Mine. They were busy saving people just now, but no one felt hungry. At this time, the overall situation was settled, and everyone felt that their stomachs had been put on their backs.
Hou Weidong said to Jiang Xiangyu: "Eat steamed buns first, then go back to Chengjin."
He took a bite of the steamed bun, it was so delicious.
Hou Weidong, Jiang Xiangyu, Zhou Fuquan, Deng Jiachun, Cai Zhenggui and other county leaders grabbed a white steamed bun and a bowl of porridge, surrounded them, and the food was so loud that the newspaper reporters who rushed to see such a scene, quickly caught and shot countless photos.
When he returned to the county, Mayor Liu Bing was already waiting in the Standing Committee meeting room. He had a fair face, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and his hair was combed meticulously, clean, tidy, mature and steady.
When Hou Weidong and Jiang Xiangyu entered the house, Liu Bing had no smile on his face, his voice was not loud, but his tone was very heavy, and he said, "What's wrong? Are you afraid that Shazhou will not be famous when it was caused such a big noise at the enlarged meeting of the provincial party committee? "
When Hou Weidong was in the Yiyang New Management Committee, Liu Bing was already the mayor of Shazhou. From this perspective, Liu Bing was Hou Weidong's real old leader. After being scolded by the old leader, he could only lower his head and listen.
After listening to the report, Liu Bing's expression slowed down a little and said to Jiang Xiangyu: "Xiangyu, I have to say a few words to you this time. Wei Dong has just arrived in Chengjin. He is not familiar with the situation. It is understandable that you are old Chengjin, so you should arrest the matter seriously."
Liu Bing said this, but in fact he looked down on Hou Weidong.
Hou Weidong felt disgusted and said to himself: "As the head of a city, how can he speak like this? This is not to unite us, but to make us strife in the internal strife."
