When it was almost noon, the provincial investigation team, led by Huang Xingen, the deputy director of the Provincial Bureau of Work Safety, arrived at Long 'an County. Lu Yiwei had arranged good food and wine at the hotel, but they did not fall for it. They did not have time to eat and went straight to Jinmen Town to quickly carry out a comprehensive investigation of the 1226 accident.
For the past two days, Lu Yiwei had been exhausted both mentally and physically. Even so, he had to grit his teeth and persevere. At the same time, he was constantly paying attention to the developments on the Internet. At noon, there were still thousands of news about the Long 'an accident. At around four o' clock in the afternoon, the trend suddenly changed. All the related news disappeared and was replaced by the image of him kneeling. The title was also very eye-catching — "The Kneeling of the County party committee Secretary." In less than half an hour, the news had reached the top. It seemed that Tong Huan's public relations had worked.
Deep down, Lu Yiwei did not want to do that. After all, dozens of lives had been lost just like that. If he had attracted enough attention, he could have completely avoided this tragedy. However, it was all too late.
He didn't want Long An to be ruined in his hands and carry a crime that couldn't be washed away, becoming a negative example. Not only would it tarnish the reputation of the province and city, but it would also be extremely detrimental to his future career. He still wanted to do something in this land, and he could not let everything be ruined because of a traffic accident. He had to use practical actions to face the dead and give them justice.
When it was almost night, Niu Fuyong called. "Brother Lu, don't worry about that matter. I've already thought of a way to suppress it. Just put your heart in your stomach, and you'll be fine. "
Lu Yiwei did not want to alarm him, but he took the initiative to do it behind his back. He said gratefully, "Got it, I've kept it in my heart."
"What are you talking about? When I was unlucky, it was you who pulled me out. Otherwise, I would have been assassinated. What is a brother? We share blessings and misfortunes together. You deserve to be my brother, and I'm willing to spend any amount of money. But this time, it's all thanks to Tian Jundong. He personally went to look for a certain leader and made a call to the province, suggesting that the matter be dealt with coldly. "
At the mention of Tian Jundong, Lu Yiwei felt a chill down his spine. The thing he was most worried about had happened. After all, if the other party helped you at a crucial moment, you would definitely have to repay him in the future. If you couldn't satisfy the other party, then you would have formed a grudge with him. No matter what, he couldn't reveal his emotions. He said, "Then thank him for me first. I'll treat him to a meal later."
"You're welcome. We're all brothers." Niu Fuyong said proudly, "Jundong is a good friend. I called him on the way to the capital, and he agreed without hesitation. When we arrived in the capital, he took me to the leader's house and settled the matter with a few words. I'm so envious of that boldness. With such a good brother, do you still need to worry about getting promoted and getting rich in the future? Just do your job as the Secretary of the County party committee. Two years later, Jundong will promote you, and you will immediately become the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Haha. "
Lu Yiwei wasn't in the mood to talk about this. "That's all for now. I'll talk to you later."
"Alright. Get back to work."
After hanging up the phone, Dong Xuebing could hear footsteps coming from the corridor. Lu Yiwei pricked up his ears and listened carefully. After a while, Jiang Zhentao knocked on the door and entered. "Secretary Lu, the Provincial Investigation Team is back. Director Huang is holding a meeting. Also, Secretary Shao and Mayor Dong will be here soon. "
"Alright. I'll go up now."
Lu Yiwei packed up his laptop and walked quickly to the conference room on the sixth floor. Xiong Zhonghua and Liu Zhankui were chatting with Huang Xingen, and their faces were expressionless. Dong Xuebing found a seat and sat down. Huang Xingen squinted his eyes and smoked his cigarette without saying a word.
After a while, Shao Zhongjie and Dong Xiaoning entered the meeting room one after another. Lu Yiwei immediately stood up to welcome them. Shao Zhongjie smiled from afar and stretched out his hand. "Director Huang, I'm sorry for not going out to welcome you. I should've come early in the morning. I'm really sorry for coming back from the Provincial Capital. "
Huang Xingen stood up and shook Dong Xuebing's hand. "It's fine. According to the instructions of the relevant leaders, this time I came down to investigate without informing them. I can't violate the organization's discipline. "
"Yes, yes. I understand. I didn't come back from reporting to the Provincial Capital. I rushed here without stopping. Long 'an is a poor place. I hope you can forgive me if I'm not good with my hospitality. "
Huang Xingen was a man with character. Shao Zhongjie felt awkward when Huang Xingen ignored him. After sitting down, Dong Xuebing took the initiative to ask, "Old Shao, you reported to me last night that three people died. This doesn't match with our investigation today."
Shao Zhongjie turned to look at Dong Xiaoning. "It's like this. Yesterday's statistics were inaccurate. I wanted to report it again today, but you've already arrived."
"This difference is a little too ridiculous. According to the relevant regulations, this is a major accident."
Shao Zhongjie smiled awkwardly. "Everything will be based on the investigation team's results."
Huang Xingen put the documents in his hands on the table. "I wanted to hold a briefing, but there are some things that we can't make a decision on. We need to report to the relevant leaders before we make a decision."
"Alright. I'll listen to your instructions. It's getting late. Why don't we go eat first? "
They could skip the meeting, but they still had to eat. They went to the private room on the second floor of the hotel. Huang Xingen's words were softer than what he said in a formal setting. "It's almost the Lunar New Year. The Provincial Government has emphasized on safety and stability. They are afraid that something will happen before the Lunar New Year. In the end, you guys still can't handle it. You guys are purposely trying to suppress it and force us to be helpless. As you can see, yesterday's accident is causing an uproar on the internet. It's not an explanation to the Provincial Government, but a reasonable explanation to the people of the country. "
"When I came down today, Governor Zhao specifically told me to investigate the matter seriously and seek the truth. He is very angry, so I can't do anything about it. I can only report the results of today's investigation. "
Shao Zhongjie knew the seriousness of the matter. He lowered his voice and asked, "Director Huang, is there no room for negotiation?"
Huang Xingen put on the airs of an official. "I want to, but … didn't you just come back from the Provincial Government? What's the opinion of the higher-ups?"
Shao Zhongjie did not want to talk about it in this situation. After a moment of silence, he changed the topic. "Let's not talk about work first. Let's eat! It's not easy for Director Huang to come to Nanzhou. You must treat him well. "
Dong Xiaoning took the opportunity to agree. "Yes. Director Huang had something to do when he went to the Provincial Government. We must make up for it tonight."
Huang Xingen's small eyes looked at Dong Xiaoning, who had a good figure. He smiled. "How are you going to make up for it?"
Dong Xiaoning said straightforwardly. "I'll do whatever you want. I'll accompany you."
