Xiong Zhonghua took a sip of water and slowly put it down. "Yesterday, there was a traffic accident in Long 'an County. Let's call it the 1226 Accident. I only found out about it three hours after it happened. As the Deputy Mayor in charge of security, I did not get the news immediately. I don't know what the leaders of Long 'an County are thinking. Are they trying to hide it or are they trying to solve it on their own? I can understand if they want to deal with it first, but none of them reported to me afterward. Do they still have any respect for me? "
Lu Yiwei felt uneasy as he listened. This was clearly directed at him. But it was already 7pm when he arrived in the city yesterday. He met Shao Zhongjie and Dong Xiaoning and rushed back. He did not have time to meet Lu Yiwei. Furthermore, he was the Secretary of the County party committee. Liu Zhankui should be the one reporting to him.
Xiong Zhonghua, who was gentle just a moment ago, was livid and agitated. He continued. "Since you want to solve it on your own, you should solve it properly. But now, the whole city is in an uproar. Related posts are flying all over the internet. Now, everyone in the country knew about it, and it put a lot of pressure on the city. The situation was very passive. Secretary Shao and Mayor Dong went to the province to report the situation to the relevant provincial leaders, and the province has sent an investigation team to investigate the accident. They are already on the way, and they should arrive before noon. "
"Before coming, Secretary Shao and Mayor Dong have made it clear that they will not cover up or cover up. They will cooperate with the provincial investigation team to investigate the accident. If there was a problem in that link, they would investigate it to the end. They would pursue the matter seriously, and they would not tolerate it. Before the provincial investigation team arrives, the city investigation team will investigate first. Secretary Lu, what do you think? "
Lu Yiwei was distracted. When he heard someone calling him, he straightened his back. "Mayor Xiong, leaders. First, I will do a self-reflection. As the Secretary of the County party committee, I have an unshirkable responsibility for such a big incident in Long 'an. Now, I will do a deep self-reflection. "He stood up and bowed to everyone.
After sitting down, he continued, "Secondly, Mayor Xiong completely agrees with what he said just now. County Head Liu and I will take the initiative to cooperate with the provincial investigation team and accept the investigation. Based on the principle of seeking truth from facts, we will truly restore the truth of the incident and severely investigate and punish the person responsible. This morning, County Magistrate Liu and I had a discussion and put forward preliminary opinions on the responsible persons. Whether it's appropriate or not, Mayor Xiong and the other leaders will have to decide. "
"Finally, we must learn the lesson from the accident, reflect on it, and draw inferences about other cases. We will carry out a county-wide investigation of hidden safety hazards. We will investigate carefully with the determination to eliminate hidden safety hazards, increase safety awareness, and resolutely prevent similar accidents from happening again."
As a secretary, Lu Yiwei had a certain advantage when it came to speaking. His words were clear and flawless, and there were basically no loopholes. Xiong Zhonghua had wanted to use this as a pretext to make a fuss, but he did not know where to start. He looked at him from the corner of his eyes and said, "Secretary Lu, you are from the province and have always been working with the leaders. You should understand the core work of the Party Committee and the government. As it is approaching the end of the year, safety is the most important work. Two days ago, when the Municipal Party Committee held an expanded meeting, Secretary Shao had specially emphasized on safety. You have been in Long An for almost a week, and I wonder what the arrangements are for this work. "
Facing Xiong Zhonghua's attack, Lu Yiwei calmly said, "Mayor Xiong, according to the Municipal Party Committee's request, we have already started to arrange this work, but we have not held a safety meeting."
"Oh, why didn't you hold a meeting?"
"It was already late when I came back from the meeting that night, and the accident happened before I had time to hold it."
Xiong Zhonghua did not budge an inch and said, "If you had held a safety meeting, wouldn't you have been able to prevent the accident from happening?"
This was clearly a sophistry and was deliberately finding fault. Although Lu Yiwei was unhappy, he chose to remain silent.
The hall was dead silent, and it was a little scary. Xiong Zhonghua moved his body and said with a black face, "Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. First, think about how to deal with the Provincial Investigation Team and stop the reporters. Let's not waste any more time. The Investigation Team will start their investigation now, and I will wait for you here. Before the Provincial Investigation Team comes, you must come up with a preliminary result. Understood? "
After the meeting, Executive Deputy Mayor Deng Zhongyuan left with the Investigation Team, leaving Lu Yiwei and Liu Zhankui in the meeting room. Jiao Haibo knew that he should not stay here for long, so he stood up and said, "Mayor Xiong, I have sent the person here, and my mission is completed. I still have things to do in the office, so I will go back first."
Xiong Zhonghua purposely said, "What's the rush? Let's go back together in the afternoon."
Jiao Haibo quickly waved his hand and said, "I will not add to the trouble. I will take my leave first."
Lu Yiwei sent him downstairs, and before he boarded the car, Jiao Haibo said in a serious tone, "Yiwei, there are some words that I do not want to say, but I have to say it. I have a good impression of you, and you are like my child. I can't bear to see you sink into the mud and not be able to move. Long An's and Nanzhou's officialdom are quite chaotic, so you must be careful and keep your eyes open. You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must not be manipulated by others. When it is time to make a move, you must be decisive. Do you understand? "
Lu Yiwei gratefully nodded and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Director Jiao. I will remember it."
Jiao Haibo sighed and looked at him with a gentle gaze, "It has been hard on you. Take your time. If you have time, come to the city and we can have a good chat. I will take my leave first. "
After sending Jiao Haibo off, Lu Yiwei immediately went upstairs. Just when he was about to enter the meeting room, Bai Zongfeng called. He left and went to the office break room to answer the call.
"Is it serious?"
Facing the old leader's concern, Lu Yiwei forced himself to say, "It's fine. I can handle it."
Bai Zongfeng was silent for a moment, then said, "I already knew about it last night. I wanted to call you, but I thought you were busy. I didn't expect it to cause such an uproar today. I asked around, and the attitude of the province is quite vague, and they are taking a wait-and-see attitude. I guess if the situation is under control, they will not pursue it. If it is not under control, I'm afraid … But don't worry, it should not affect you. If it does, I will do my best to protect you. "
What else could Lu Yiwei say? He was moved and said, "Thank you, Secretary Bai. It is all my fault for causing such a big trouble for you."
