That night, Yang Derong held a county-wide meeting that very night.
At the meeting, Yang Derong performed a one-man show, deeply analyzing the forest fire in Shuangmiao Town. He dismissed the Shuangmiao Town Party Committee Secretary and the Mayor on the spot, and the aftermath was temporarily handled by Deputy County Head Gao Bowen. He asked all the leading cadres to learn from the painful experience and draw inferences to prevent similar incidents from happening again. For nearly a month, all the towns and villages were not allowed to rest, and everyone went to the mountain to guard. Once there was another fire, no matter how big or small, they would be dismissed on the spot, and the relevant responsible persons would be held accountable.
After the meeting was adjourned, the leaders of the agency left as if nothing had happened, while the township cadres looked aggrieved and complained incessantly. They all scolded Song Anfeng for implicating everyone, but at this critical juncture, no one dared to slack off.
Yang Derong called Gao Bowen and Li Zhaoqing to his office, and spent the night thinking about countermeasures.
Yang Derong was anxious and had no clue, so he asked in a panic, "Bowen, how do you think we should deal with this?"
As Yang Derong's confidant, Gao Bowen naturally shared his worries and said, "Boss, as you can see, Mayor Lin didn't mean to blame you, not to mention that you already went ahead and punished the responsible person first. This is your attitude. I think it's easy to deal with Mayor Lin, but I'm worried about Secretary Qin. If he wants to vent his anger on you, the consequences will be unimaginable. "
"What consequences?" Yang Derong suddenly became nervous.
Gao Bowen wanted to say something but stopped on second thought, because he had concerns in his heart.
"Just say it, at this time, say it!" Yang Derong said angrily.
Gao Bowen said cautiously, "If it's light, you will be punished, if it's heavy, you will be transferred …"
"Oh." Yang Derong suddenly leaned on the sofa, the cigarette between his fingers trembled a little, and the ash fell on his pants, but he didn't notice it at all.
The new "Military Advisor" Li Zhaoqing said solemnly, "Boss, what County Kao said is not unreasonable. Secretary Qin came from the organization system. He might not have any other skills, but he was good at figuring people out. I still remember that when you first came to Nanyang County, Mayor Lin and Secretary Qin had a dispute. They felt that it was too big of a step for you to go from Executive Deputy County Head to County Head. Fortunately, Mayor Lin insisted on stabilizing your position. Would Secretary Qin make a fuss about this? It's hard to say. "
Yang Derong was like a deflated balloon, leaning against the wall listlessly. His career had just begun. If he were to fall because of this matter, he would be unwilling, absolutely unwilling! He tilted his head and asked Li Zhaoqing, "Then what do you think we should do?"
Li Zhaoqing pondered for a while and said, "Before Secretary Qin takes action, I think you can use three methods to salvage the situation. First, she had to admit her mistake in front of Secretary Qin. She had to be sincere. No matter what he said, she had to accept it. Second, you must have an attitude and conduct self-examination and self-correction. Anyone involved in the fire will be held accountable, from the leaders in charge of forestry to the village head of the fire village. She must be dealt with seriously and must not be lenient. Third, she still needs to run to the higher-ups. It's best to find someone who can convince Secretary Qin to come forward and make peace. Then let Mayor Lin work hard. I don't think it will be a big problem. "
Li Zhaoqing's three methods could be said to be comprehensive and watertight. After listening, Yang Derong did not have a better idea. He nodded and said, "How to deal with it?"
Li Zhaoqing said, "The leaders in charge and the leaders of the relevant departments can be given administrative punishment within the party or the government. The most serious punishment is a major demerit. The punishment at the township level must be severe. The Party Secretary and the mayor of Shuangmiao Town will not only be dismissed, but also held accountable. The deputy mayor and the cadres of the village will be directly fired. At the village level, the villagers will be asked to dismiss the village head. Although this is a bit harsh, we will kill the chicken to warn the monkeys. Whether it is the monkeys above or other monkeys, with our attitude, the higher-ups will not say anything. "
Gao Bowen looked at the insidious and cunning Li Zhaoqing and was afraid of him. Once such a person became a leader in the future, he would not be a good person. He thought that he was ruthless enough, but he did not expect that there was someone more vicious than him. No wonder everyone looked down on him. This kind of person, no matter how capable he was, it was better to stay away from him.
Yang Derong thought for a long time and put out the unsmoked cigarette in his hand. He said, "Okay, this matter will be done according to what you said. Later, contact Liao Minyuan, investigate the facts, and immediately issue the punishment. "
"Okay, I'll do it now." Li Zhaoqing was excited to get Yang Derong's approval.
It was said that heroes were born in troubled times, but it was not easy to become a hero in peaceful times. It was possible to become a hero only if you performed bravely in an emergency. Although Li Zhaoqing did not go to the front line, his idea was approved and adopted by Yang Derong. This was also a good time to stand out. In addition, he also had selfish motives. It was not easy for him to get to the position of the director of the government office. He planned to use Yang Derong to get a higher level. If Yang Derong was really transferred, all his previous efforts would be wasted. It was uncertain whether the next leader would use him or not.
After Li Zhaoqing left, Yang Derong raised his hand weakly and signaled Gao Bowen to lock the door.
"Bowen, I think it's better to report the truth to Mayor Lin. After all, so many people have died. How long can you hide it? What if other people see it and expose this matter? It'll be much more serious than it is now. This is so f * cking unlucky! "Yang Derong was a little scared. Although he did not see the dead, he could imagine the tragic scene.
"No, absolutely not!" Gao Bowen raised his hand to stop him. "County Yang, if Secretary Qin knows about this, it will not only be a matter of punishment, but also your career. It was not easy for you to get to this position. Look, Zhang Zhiyuan is going to leave soon. Maybe you will become the secretary of the County party committee. At this critical moment, you must not make any mistakes. "
Yang Derong looked at the ceiling and took a deep breath. He slowly closed his eyes and said, "Bowen, after all, this is nine lives. How do you want me to face it? Forget it. If the higher-ups want to punish me, I will accept it. "
Hearing Yang Derong being so pessimistic, Gao Bowen was anxious. After all, he was also a grasshopper on a rope. If Yang Derong was defeated, he could not escape. He said, "Boss, you really can't be discouraged at this time. Didn't I tell you to leave this matter to me? I promise I will handle it for you without leaving any traces."
"How to handle it? There is still a survivor. You can't kill him, right? Also, did anyone else see this? Have you looked into it? "
Gao Bowen said, "I have carefully inquired about it. Their position happened to be on a small hill. The others went up from the other side of the hill. Only a few idiots rushed directly into the fire pit, absolutely no one else saw it. I have already told you the specific handling plan. There is absolutely no problem with Meng Gang's side. It is nothing more than a matter of money. I will personally handle the villagers. Directly report the missing person as dead. As for the survivor, I plan to give him a sum of money. He can go wherever he wants to go. He must not stay in Xijiang Province. "
It sounded like a seamless plan, but Yang Derong felt that there was a loophole somewhere. He felt guilty and said, "Is there really no problem?"
"I promise there will be no problem!" Gao Bowen patted his chest and promised, "Two years ago, Meng Gang's mine collapsed and five people died at once. I dealt with this matter for him. You can see that he is safe and sound now. Besides, dead people are not scary. What is scary is that there are different testimonies. If in the future, what you and I say is not the same thing, I am afraid that this matter will not be able to be wrapped up in paper. "
"Really no one else saw it?" Yang Derong asked again.
"Really."
"What about Lu Yiwei?"
"This …" Gao Bowen forgot about this. He carefully recalled the scene last night and said, "Probably not. I remember that he was organizing the water transfer at that time …"
"What do you mean by probably? I want a definite answer." Hearing that Gao Bowen was not sure, he muttered in his heart.
"No, absolutely not!"
"Oh." Yang Derong thought for a long time and said, "Then let's leave it at that for the time being. Remember, don't leak it to anyone."
"Boss, you still don't trust me?"
"If I don't trust you, I won't let you deal with this matter." Yang Derong said, "When this matter is safely over, I will seriously consider the issue of remuneration. It just so happens that when Zhang Zhiyuan leaves, if I can take over, I will first get you into the Standing Committee. "
"Thank you so much, boss."
"Alright, hurry up and deal with it. I'm tired too, and I want to rest early."
Just as he opened the door, Gao Bowen turned back and said, "Oh yes, boss, can I take this opportunity to knock Lu Yiwei down?" He could not forget about Lu Yiwei.
"Forget it. How do you want me to deal with him? Moreover, he worked very hard to put out the fire this time. If I don't handle it properly, I don't want to put myself in a difficult position. "Yang Derong had concerns in his heart. After all, Lu Yiwei was Zhang Zhiyuan's man. It was not right to stab him in the back when Zhang Zhiyuan was not at home.
Gao Bowen did not let it go. "Lu Yiwei was passive in the fire this time. He did not organize people to put out the fire, but drove people down, which delayed the best time to put out the fire. Don't you think that he should be punished? Also, he went out without permission during the fire protection period. He did not even carry out the inspection. Does he still respect you? "
