Chapter 278: Accident Site (Part 2)

Chen Ping's actions stunned everyone. No one expected that Chen Ping was silent for so long at the scene of the accident, but the final result was to apologize to the migrant workers who gathered in front of him and were likely to cause trouble.

It has to be said that in the current environment, all officials regard face as more important than their own lives, just as if they admit their mistakes, they will lose their official position. So no matter where something happens, government officials must first do it, and they will shirk responsibility as much as possible. This is why there are so many clumsy excuses.

Ordinary migrant workers have long been accustomed to the style of officials, so that when Chen Ping took the initiative to apologize, the migrant workers at the scene did not react at all, and they looked at each other and were at a loss.

At this time, Chen Ping said again: "I'm sorry, brothers from migrant workers. I know that everyone has paid a lot of blood and sweat on this construction site. Everyone is also very angry about what happened today. I can understand everyone's mood. However, some things cannot be solved by just causing trouble. I hope everyone can understand this."

"I am the deputy mayor of Luzhuang City. I also know that some things are already cliché, but I still want to assure you here that today's affairs are negligence in supervision work. On behalf of all the cadres of the municipal government, I will say sorry to you here," Chen Ping said, bowing deeply to the migrant workers in front of him, and then continued, "But please rest assured, I will order the relevant departments of the municipal government to find out the truth. Any relevant person involved, regardless of the level, will be severely punished!"

Chen Ping spoke strongly, but the migrant workers below said with some doubts: "It sounds nice. When did something happen? Didn't your officials say that? But when did it not be the officials who protect each other and suppress us to make big things turn into small things?"

This made Chen Ping helpless. After all, the atmosphere of officials protecting each other and covering each other in the officialdom is so serious that the migrant workers below do not believe what Chen Ping said.

However, Chen Ping did not give up. He continued: "I know that everyone will not be willing to believe me because of other things, but I still ask everyone to take a step back and observe whether my words and deeds are consistent. Otherwise, everyone will be spent here, resulting in the investigation being unable to be carried out and the deceased cannot rest in peace. This is not right. Please believe me, okay?"

As soon as Chen Ping finished speaking, Shi Baolian, director of the Municipal Government Office, who was standing next to him, echoed: "Mayor Chen is right. This accident was indeed a negligence of our government. Please be sure to have confidence in the government. Our Mayor Chen is one of the most responsible leaders in Luzhuang. I believe that Mayor Chen will definitely do his best. Please give in according to Mayor Chen's request?"

After Shi Baolian finished speaking, he stood beside Chen Ping and bowed to the migrant workers like Chen Ping.

Chen Ping was a little surprised by Shi Baolian's approach, but later Chen Ping learned that Shi Baolian didn't know what Chen Ping's specific intention was to apologize to migrant workers. It was just that he was very close to Chen Ping, and he could feel Chen Ping's feeling, and he also believed that there would be no mistake in following Chen Ping, so he did this.

After Shi Bao finished his work, the municipal government officials who followed Chen Ping to deal with the accident all followed Chen Ping and bowed and apologized to the migrant workers, hoping that the migrant workers would believe them.

Faced with the collective apology from all the government officials who came to deal with the accident, these migrant workers could not bear it anymore. They shook their heads and said to Chen Ping in a slight manner: "How can you do this, Mayor Chen? We are not unreasonable people. Mayor Chen, you are all mayors. If we don't believe it, who else can you believe?"

Among the noisy crowd, the migrant workers who took the lead came forward and said to Chen Ping: "Mayor Chen, we all know that this accident has nothing to do with the government. What we don't like is the appearance of Director Liao just now."

The words of this migrant worker made all the government officials here breathe a sigh of relief. After all, these migrant workers have already said this, so they can turn big things into small things, which makes them feel that Chen Ping was indeed not the deputy mayor for vain. This art of speaking and the ability to turn hands to turn hands into rain make people stunned. However, Chen Ping's next words were beyond their expectations.

Chen Ping said: "Brother, this is a problem in our government's work. I am very grateful to you for raising it. At the same time, I also sincerely apologize to you for the attitude of our staff."

After Chen Ping said that, he bowed deeply to the migrant worker.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Chen Ping's approach is unreasonable. After all, these migrant workers have already said that they will take a step back, so the scene should be finished. Why are they still so pretentious? People who just think so really regard themselves as being arrogant to Master Shangguan, but Chen Ping is not like this.

First of all, Chen Ping never regarded himself as an official, he just became an official based on his conscience.

Secondly, Chen Ping was standing in front of the ruins at the accident site and felt deeply moved. The clothes of these migrant workers were very dirty, some of which were not washed for a week or half a month, sticky to their bodies, but they didn't care and were still shuttled through these ventilated floors, working hard.

What these people want is only a salary of 100,000 yuan a day, three or four thousand yuan a month, so that they can go back to build a new house or provide their children with school.

This made Chen Ping think of his parents. Didn’t they also work hard to make money in the dirty workshop of the textile factory, in the dusty environment, and they were desperately willing to spend money for themselves?

In contrast, those contractor bosses spend tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan to invite officials to a meal, and the profit of a project is millions, but they are still not satisfied and still want to cut corners and take risks with the lives of these migrant workers and future residents. How could Chen Ping let these unscrupulous bosses go?

The migrant worker brother obviously heard the true feelings in Chen Ping's words, so he said excitedly: "Mayor Chen, this is definitely not your problem. I know that we ourselves have great responsibility. We should know where there is danger. How can we want to threaten the government if something happens? Today, with Mayor Chen coming forward, I believe Mayor Chen will definitely make the decision for us. I support Mayor Chen's decision!"

As soon as the leader of the migrant worker finished speaking, a group of people echoed behind him, saying: "We all support Mayor Chen's decision! We will follow Mayor Chen's arrangements in the future. Whoever dares to make trouble for Mayor Chen unreasonably will be a bastard!"

Everyone supported Chen Ping all of a sudden, the reason was very simple. After all, these people did not come out to work on the first day. The officials they met in the past looked down on them very much, they all thought they were dirty and smelly, and they were afraid of it, and they even threatened and intimidated them, just like Director Liao before, but Chen Ping did not do this.

Not only did Chen Ping not look like he disliked them, but instead took the initiative to apologize to them and revealed his feelings of understanding and support for them in his words. This made them move, so they would unconditionally support Chen Ping.

Then Chen Ping said, "Thank you for your support. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation!"
