Chapter 279 Just looking for him

After Chen Ping's persuasion, the migrant workers who had been gathering at the accident site all scattered back to their dormitories.

No matter how you say that a scholar dies for his confidant, it is not just empty talk. Although these are just migrant workers, they also have dignity. It is only because they usually have low status and they have to work hard to make money to support their families. This is why they don’t care much about this, and they are also used to the contempt of other rich and powerful people.

But things are different today. They can't be indifferent to the death of their fellow villagers. At this time, officials like Deputy Director Liao would look down on them and think they could play tricks on them at will. That would be a big mistake.

It is precisely because no one understands them that when Chen Ping stands up and speaks for them from their perspective, they will support them unconditionally.

After the migrant workers dispersed, what they had to do when they were born was to investigate and collect evidence from the Public Security Bureau. Chen Ping could not participate in these things in person, so he quickly crossed the cordon and left the scene. He said to Deputy Director Liao who was in charge of the work here before: "Director Liao, you are also an old cadre in the Municipal Government Office. Why don't you know how to deal with things in a random way and have to confront the people?"

Chen Ping said coldly, which made Deputy Director Liao tremble all over after hearing this. He said: "I'm sorry Mayor Chen. I know I'm biased in handling this matter, but I also want to dismiss these migrant workers as soon as possible. I don't want anything to happen here and not cause trouble for Mayor Chen."

After listening to Deputy Director Liao's words, Chen Ping waved his hand casually and said, "I know Director Liao's starting point is good. Fortunately, this time it did not cause any bad impact. However, in the future, I hope that Director Liao can seriously think about right or wrong no matter what happens, and do not do things blindly."

Chen Ping did not punish Director Liao for the simple reason. After all, according to the rules of the officialdom, he did nothing wrong. There are not a few people like him in the entire officialdom. Chen Ping deliberately punished him without any effect.

After hearing Chen Ping's words, Deputy Director Liao breathed a sigh of relief and said to Chen Ping gratefully: "Thank you for your magnanimity! I will definitely remember Mayor Chen's teachings in the future and regard Mayor Chen's words as the weather vane and motto for my future work!"

Chen Ping did not respond to Deputy Director Liao's frank words, but went back to his car and asked his secretary Zhang Tao to call Concubine Xiao Shu. Chen Ping said: "Hello, Secretary Xiao, I am Chen Ping."

Since there were other outsiders next to him, Chen Ping just called Concubine Xiao Shufei very much. Concubine Xiao of course understood the situation on Chen Ping's side through Chen Ping's words. Therefore, she also said: "Mayor Chen, I heard that a major safety accident occurred at the construction site of the heavy industry project today. Is this a matter of this?"

"Yes, Secretary Xiao," Chen Ping replied, "Today's incident was because the project contractor used inferior products as good as good products to seek personal gain, and purchased a very poor quality scaffolding. As a result, the scaffolding suddenly broke and collapsed today. A migrant worker surnamed Zhang fell down from the sixth floor and died on the spot. The other migrant worker brothers on the construction site were very angry, so they spontaneously organized to ask for an explanation. They were a little excited, but now they have stabilized."

Although Concubine Xiao was already very careful in controlling her, she inevitably revealed her true feelings when facing Chen Ping.

Concubine Xiao Shu was also a woman, and when she heard someone really died, when she heard that there were migrant workers gathered to make trouble at the scene of the accident, she still exclaimed in a low voice. It was not until Chen Ping finally said that he had stabilized the situation here that she put her heart back in her stomach.

"Just make it stable," said Xiao Shufei. "Thank you for your hard work. The municipal party committee and government and the central government who are concerned about this matter will not forget what Mayor Chen did today."

"Thank you Secretary Xiao," Chen Ping continued, "By the way, Secretary Xiao, I have two requests here to report to Secretary Xiao."

"Mayor Chen, but it's okay," said Concubine Xiao.

Chen Ping said: "It's like this. Secretary Xiao. I hope the government can contribute funds to the migrant workers in this accident to provide certain financial compensation."

"Mayor Chen's proposal is very good. After all, this migrant worker brother had an accident in our government's projects. Whether it is reasonable or not, the government should bear certain responsibilities, and it is also appropriate to give economic compensation." Xiao Shufei said.

"Maybe I didn't explain it clearly that Secretary Xiao misunderstood. I hope Secretary Xiao can approve the grant of a certain amount of economic compensation to all migrant workers in this project." Chen Ping said.

This time, Concubine Xiao asked in surprise: "Everyone needs to compensate, why is this?"

Chen Ping replied: "It's like this. Secretary Xiao. I think that since there is an accident in this project, it must be stopped and wait for the accident to be further investigated. As far as I know, these migrant workers are paid on a daily basis. Now that the project has been suspended, wouldn't these migrant workers not get their wages? Since our government is also responsible for poor supervision of this project, we should give these migrant workers certain economic compensation. I wonder what Secretary Xiao, what do you think?"

"I think Mayor Chen has made this very good point, and I completely agree with Mayor Chen's proposal." Xiao Shufei said, "Will Mayor Chen have any other proposals?"

Chen Ping said: "Secretary Xiao, I think that since this project has received direct attention from the central government, in order to be responsible to the central government, we must take this accident seriously. It is best to invite the superior municipal government and relevant departments of the provincial government to participate in the investigation of the accident and deal with the relevant responsible persons seriously."

Facing Chen Ping's proposal, Xiao Shufei said without thinking: "Mayor Chen's proposal is also very good. This project is related to the image of our Luzhuang Municipal Party Committee and Government, and it should be taken seriously."

Although he was facing Concubine Xiao Shu and Chen Ping did not need politeness in the officialdom, because Chen Ping had his own driver and secretary around him, he still said in an official business: "Secretary Xiao is really reasonable and is a role model for us later officials and a role model for hard work."

Concubine Xiao also knew the situation on Chen Ping, so she didn't care about it. After some politeness, Chen Ping hung up the phone.

At this time, Chen Ping's secretary Zhang Tao came over and looked at Chen Ping with a very admirable look, because most officials said that they could help were just talking, but they did not expect that Chen Ping would actually do it, and they reported directly to the municipal party secretary. Zhang Tao was also from the bottom of society, and he was able to understand the hardships of migrant workers working and making money. It is precisely because of this that he felt Chen Ping's greatness about Chen Ping's actions.

Chen Ping was not interested in worshipping him. He glanced at Zhang Tao and asked, "Zhang Tao, are you doing anything?"

Zhang Tao then remembered and reported to Chen Pinghui: "It's like this Mayor Chen. I just received a call from the project contractor, and he said he wanted to invite Mayor Chen to dinner."

In response to this, Chen Ping smiled and said, "I didn't expect that before I went to find him, he came to him first. I happened to be looking for him, so I told him to set it tonight."

"Okay Mayor Chen." Zhang Tao said.
