Every New Year and Festival, Zhu Daidong is very busy, and now he needs to maintain a good relationship with his superiors. But he is the new mayor of Huawu City. On the first day of the first lunar month, he needs to visit and even visit and comfort the public security officers, fire armed police, doctors and nurses who are still working on the front line. This is already the routine every year.

But from the second year of junior high school, Zhu Daidong's time was free, and he did not go to work until the eighth day of the lunar month. Zhu Daidong took his wife and children back to his hometown in the second year of the lunar month, and went to Hunan Province to pay homage to his father-in-law and mother-in-law in the third year of the lunar month. Now Yan Pengfei and Gan Shimei have officially settled in northern Hunan Province, and will not return to Gunan Province again during the New Year.

It is not a good thing for a member of the Standing Committee, a deputy governor like Yan Pengfei, to have too many connections with the place where he used to work. Even Zhu Daidong doesn’t often contact his former subordinates in Gunan Province. During the Chinese New Year, he can occasionally walk around, but only for those very, very good people.

Originally, Zhu Daidong went to Beijing for the fourth day of the lunar calendar, but on the afternoon of the third day of the lunar calendar, he had just arrived in Hunan Province for less than two hours when he suddenly received a call from the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, asking him to rush back to Huawu City tomorrow to attend the enlarged meeting of the Provincial Party Committee.

"Daidong, is there something big happening when he is urging to go back so quickly?" Yan Ruiling asked with concern after seeing Zhu Daidong answering the phone. Although Zhu Daidong has successfully served as Mayor of Huawu, this is only the first step of the Long March. As a sub-provincial city, the economic development of Huawu City does not mean growth.

"It seems that a new infectious disease of pneumonia in eastern Guangdong has broken out. I heard that people have died." Zhu Daidong said that a few years ago, he heard rumors about a fatal strange disease appeared in a city over there. It was even said that in some hospitals, patients died in large numbers due to strange diseases. Due to the circulating in the market, it is said that cooking vinegar and drinking isatis root can prevent strange diseases. Therefore, there is a trend of buying rice vinegar and isatis root in the market. Many people cannot buy rice vinegar and isatis root, and call relatives and friends in Hong Kong to assist, so that the condition can be known to the outside world. On the other hand, since Hong Kong is close to Eastern Guangdong Province, many workers with relatives and friends in Eastern Guangdong Province require employers to cook rice vinegar in the workplace and disinfect the steam of rice vinegar. Some employers rejected this nonsense method, but many employers obeyed in order to ensure the employees' peace of mind.

It is said that when the outbreak was the first time, the local government did not release relevant information, nor did it inform Hong Kong. At that time, the government prohibited the media from reporting on the condition and cut off news clips from Hong Kong TV stations. The local government also asked the media not to over-examination of the epidemic in the region to avoid panic among the people.

If the epidemic can be effectively controlled, then the local government's approach is correct. But if it is deliberately concealed just for concealment, or even for self-deception, it is dereliction of duty or even a crime.

"I have heard of this, didn't it mean that it has been controlled?" Yan Ruiling asked in surprise. Then she immediately realized that the rumored news could not be believed, especially the news that had not been officially confirmed and seemed to be official, but it was hard to believe. There were even many people who listened to this kind of news in the opposite way.

"Mom, there will be an emergency meeting in the province at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. I have to rush back immediately." Zhu Daidong said. Yan Pengfei is also the deputy governor of the Standing Committee. At this time, it is time to go around. He went to the capital yesterday. He knew they were coming and would rush back in the afternoon. Now he and Yan Pengfei are not working in the same place. He has a lot of things to do, but can communicate in depth. Moreover, like Yan Pengfei, he is also treated at the deputy provincial level. Although he has not joined the provincial party committee, it will be a matter of time sooner or later.

However, Yan Pengfei has little room for improvement. He, the vice governor, only joined the team last year. Even if he is promoted again, he will only fine-tune it. I believe that in a few years, Zhu Daidong's level will be higher than Yan Pengfei, and it may not be necessary to become Yan Pengfei's leader.

"Let's leave after dinner, your dad is also coming back for dinner." Gan Shimei said. Zhu Daidong is not the former party secretary of the Shizishan Township Party Committee. His words and deeds will affect the food, clothing, housing and transportation of more than 8 million people at any time.

"Yes, I always have to eat. Let my dad find you a driver. It's cold and cold, so I'm very careful when driving." Yan Ruiling said. They came today, Zhu Daidong drove his own car, but when they came back soon, Zhu Daidong would have a hard time, and he would have a meeting tomorrow morning, so he must be fully energetic.

"Yes, when I go back, I can't drive by myself anymore. I will arrange the driver's affairs for you now." Gan Shimei said. As the wife of the vice governor, she still has this power. She immediately called the duty room of the Provincial Government Office and asked the other party to arrange a car and a driver.

"Mom, let's forget about the driver's affairs." Zhu Daidong said. Although he was several meters away from Gan Shimei, he could hear the sound on the phone clearly. Although the other party was polite, the words he said made him tinnitus. Yes, this is the New Year, who would want to get out of the car? Besides, it's better to do a private matter.

"How can that work? You heard it just now, and the General Office has agreed." Gan Shimei said.

"This is a Chinese New Year, which is not good for others to celebrate the New Year, and it also has an impact on dad." Zhu Daidong gave Yan Ruiling a wink. If this was in Huawu City, Yan Pengfei would have to rush back to Hunan Province immediately, he might not have let the small car team send a car, and he would rather drive by himself than bother others.

"Mom, why don't I go back with Dai Dong? Anyway, I have to go back to work in a few days." Yan Ruiling quickly understood what Zhu Dai Dong meant. Although it was only a trivial matter to ask the Provincial Government Office to send a driver, it would make people have ideas about Yan Pengfei if they knew it.

Don’t think that the drivers in the small bus shift are just small people. In fact, they know the things around their leaders best. If they are strict-mouthed drivers, there is no problem. But if they meet those drivers with big mouths, sometimes they will be implicated by them.

"You just came back and were leaving again? No!" Gan Shimei insisted on her own opinion. Her daughter and son-in-law rushed to visit her for hundreds of kilometers. Now she is in a hurry to rush back. What's wrong with sending a car to deliver it? Even if Yan Pengfei is here, she will still send a car.

"What's not okay?" Yan Pengfei pushed the door and heard Gan Shimei's words and asked.

"Dad, Dai Dong just received a notice from the province that an emergency meeting will be held tomorrow morning, so he had to rush back overnight. Mom just asked the provincial government to send a car with a small car team. Dai Dong felt it was inappropriate. Isn't this causing trouble for you?" Yan Ruiling said.

"What's so urgent?" Yan Pengfei said in surprise. Generally speaking, government agencies will not start working after the eighth day of the lunar month. Unless there is a major event during this period, the administrative chief will not be alarmed.

"There is an outbreak of pneumonia in eastern Guangdong. I heard that it is very contagious. The most serious one is that there is no special medicine yet, and the mortality rate is very high." Zhu Daidong said that the more opaque the information is, the more panic it will be. How to deal with this new epidemic is a test for governments at all levels.

"I have also heard about this. Hunan Province may also hold a meeting to discuss this matter tomorrow." Yan Pengfei said. In fact, pneumonia had already appeared three months ago, but because the local government's handling methods were too rigid, the matter was so urgent that it was impossible to deal with it.

Since the epidemic has not been fully demonstrated, the local government, including the superior government, did not inform the World Health Organization of the epidemic in eastern Guangdong every day and delayed the declaration of the spread of the disease. It was not until a few days later that the Chinese government notified the World Health Organization of the disease, and in the initial data provided, only the incidence of the disease in eastern Guangdong Province was listed.

A World Health Organization investigation team that visited the capital also failed to enter eastern Guangdong for investigation. Because it was around the Spring Festival, the large population movement during the Spring Festival travel rush led to the spread of the epidemic. However, rumors and panic spread faster than the epidemic, and there were also cases of rushing to buy vinegar and isatis roots in Xijiang and other places. Therefore, the central government also held an emergency meeting and decided that governments at all levels across the country should take active action and use scientific methods to eliminate the epidemic.

"There are many migrant workers in eastern Guangdong in Hunan Province. They all come back for the New Year during the Spring Festival, so the problem may be even more serious." Zhu Daidong immediately thought of this problem. In contrast, the situation in northern Hunan Province is better.

"This is indeed a problem. Dai Dong, you have rich experience in grassroots work. Do you have any specific ideas?" Yan Pengfei asked. He has been working in the transportation department and only started to be responsible for work outside of transportation after he arrived in Hunan Province. To be honest, he is really inferior to Zhu Daidong in some aspects.

"Actually, there is nothing to be done about this. You can only rely on the masses and mobilize the masses, especially to make grassroots organizations play a role. Party and government agencies at all levels must also exert mobilization and go deep into rural grassroots communities. All personnel from other villages or communities are not allowed to enter the village, and those who return home from work outside the village or community are also blocked from the village or community and can only return to the village or community until the observation period is over. Although this requires a lot of work, it is not the most reliable method." Zhu Daidong said that only by first controlling the epidemic from the source can the epidemic be eliminated. Otherwise, once the infection is started, if you want to control it, the manpower and material resources will be greatly consumed.

"I will put forward these suggestions at tomorrow's meeting." Yan Pengfei said.

"Dad, the most important thing in controlling the epidemic is to listen to the advice of experts. We can only consider it from our own point of view." Zhu Daidong said with a smile. He actually does not have a complete idea now. He just summarized some experience based on his years of work experience. As for whether it can be used, it still needs to be proved by practice.
