When Lu Yiwei came out of the bathroom, the waiter came in with the food. He sat down, picked up a steamed bun, and ate it with pickles.
When the waiter was about to leave, Jiang Zhentao called out, "Is this what Secretary Lu eats every day?"
The waiter was so scared that his legs went soft, and he lowered his head without saying a word.
Jiang Zhentao glared at him in disgust and said, "Tell Ma Xiaochen to come to my office later."
Lu Yiwei stopped him and said, "Alright, don't blame her. I arranged it. I'm not particular about food, and I like to have some home-cooked dishes like porridge and steamed buns for breakfast. Go ahead. "
After the waiter left, Jiang Zhentao said with concern, "Secretary Lu, you're usually busy with work and worry a lot. How can you keep up with these nutritious meals? If your sister-in-law knows about this, she'll definitely say that we didn't take good care of you."
Lu Yiwei smiled faintly, but his smile soon disappeared without a trace, and his thoughts returned to the impending danger. He didn't know how the relevant provincial leaders would feel when they saw this report, but he was sure that he had tarnished the reputation of the entire province.
Jiang Zhentao was also very worried that this matter would affect him. From another perspective, he didn't like Lu Yiwei at first, but yesterday's incident had refreshed his worldview. He didn't expect Lu Yiwei to be so emotional, and it had touched his heartstrings. He even felt that what he had done in the past was a little shameful.
"Secretary Lu, if you don't have to worry about me, I'll immediately investigate and find out who exactly spread the news. That traitorous dog doesn't even have the slightest bit of political awareness. Isn't this pushing Long An City into the teeth of the storm? If we find out who it is, we definitely won't let them off lightly!"
Lu Yiwei waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that. What's the point of finding out? We can't blame them for sending the news out. It only shows that there are loopholes in our work. If we had always been paying attention to safety, such a big accident wouldn't have happened. "
"Sigh!"
Jiang Zhentao sighed and said, "You're right. There are indeed loopholes, but there are also things that we can't do. If the primary school in Tianjin had a playground, the children wouldn't have to jog on the road. If there are safety warning signs or speed bumps within a 500-meter radius of the school, the accident might be prevented. "
Lu Yiwei wasn't in the mood to listen to all this. He looked at his watch and said, "Inform everyone that we will hold an expanded meeting of the Standing Committee in ten minutes. No one is to be absent."
"Alright, I'll inform them right away."
Lu Yiwei quickly finished his meal, got dressed, and was about to leave when his phone rang. Seeing that it was from Dong Xiaoning, he quickly picked up the call.
"Hey, Yiwei, looks like we can't hide anymore. Just a moment ago, Secretary Zhang of the Provincial Party Committee had instructed the provincial government to immediately set up a special investigation team to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident and hold those responsible accountable. These were his exact words. Secretary Shao is already on his way to the provincial capital. He has to personally report to Secretary Zhang and Governor Zhao. Before he left, he specifically told me to make preparations in all aspects. "
"In order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, the city has also urgently set up an investigation team. I will be the team leader, and Xiong Zhonghua, a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Deputy Mayor, will be the deputy team leader. They will set off for Long'an County in half an hour. At the same time, the new Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Long'an County, Qiu Yingxue, was appointed. Although the publicity period has not ended yet, due to the special period, she will arrive today and join the investigation team to investigate the incident. "
"Yiwei, the city originally wanted to suppress this matter, but it seems impossible now that the media has exposed it. Whether it's dealing with the media or the investigation team, you have to act according to the circumstances and respond flexibly. Don't say what should be said, and don't speak nonsense about what shouldn't be said. Whether you can survive or not depends on your luck. "
Dong Xiaoning spoke calmly, but one could feel the tension and uneasiness in her soft and weak words. She was also worried that this matter would implicate her. After all, she was the mayor, and she could not shirk the responsibility if something happened to her subordinates. But who was to blame for this matter? Was it Lu Yiwei? But he had just arrived, so he could only vent his anger on Liu Zhankui. She had already made up her mind to use this opportunity to clean up the mess and vent the hatred in her heart.
Lu Yiwei looked calm on the outside, but his heart was in turmoil, and he was extremely flustered. He calmed himself down and said: "Mayor Dong, I will obey all the orders of the Municipal Party Committee."
"Well, I don't expect much from you. Eliminate the impact of this matter in a short period of time, and maybe you can ask for leniency from the higher-ups. Otherwise, no one can protect you."
"Understood."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiwei walked with heavy steps to the County party committee building. When he was about to enter the hall, Jiang Zhentao whispered in his ear: "Secretary Lu, I just received a call. At the entrance to Long'an County, there are many media reporters trying to enter, but they were stopped by the traffic police. What do you think …"
Lu Yiwei made a prompt decision and said, "Let them pass, let them in."
"This … Is this appropriate?"
"What's not appropriate? You made a mistake, and you can't allow others to interview you? Inform everyone that all media reporters entering Long'an County must be warmly received. If anyone dares to neglect them, they will be dealt with immediately! "
This was Lu Yiwei's toughest speech since he arrived in Long'an County. Jiang Zhentao was trembling in fear and did not dare to speak.
Dong Xuebing went upstairs to the office, and Liu Zhankui followed behind him. Today, he was not as arrogant as he used to be, and his words and actions were well-behaved. "Secretary Lu, did you see it?"
Lu Yiwei sat down and lit a cigarette. He looked at his watch and said: "Mayor Liu, the investigation team from the province and city will arrive soon, and reporters are coming from all directions. What should we do next?"
Liu Zhankui's face was pale, and he quickly thought: "Should we lower the death toll?"
"Do you think we can lower it?"
Liu Zhankui's expression changed instantly, and he cursed, "What kind of dog is this? He has no discipline at all, and he actually leaked it, putting us in a passive situation. Don't let me find out. If I find out, I'll make him pay!"
Lu Yiwei can't be bothered with this matter and said: "Mayor Liu, this is a story for later. Before the investigation team arrives, we should communicate with each other and come up with an opinion on how to deal with this matter. We will discuss it with the Standing Committee later. Furthermore, the Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary is on duty today, and she is not familiar with the situation. No matter what, we must have a unified opinion at this critical moment. "
Liu Zhankui nodded: "Yes, yes, yes. I agree with the unified opinion. What's your opinion?"
