After Governor Zhao Kunsheng received the call, he was stunned and speechless for a long time. He was caught unprepared by such a troublesome matter as soon as he took office. He hung up the phone and dialed Guo Jinzhu's number.
Guo Jinzhu was excited to receive a call from the governor for the first time. He was about to greet him with a smile, but he did not expect to be reprimanded. He was confused and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
"Jinzhu." Zhao Kunsheng vented his anger. "I'll give you three hours. You must figure out the situation and report to me personally." After that, he hung up the phone.
Guo Jinzhu was shocked. He did not know such a big thing had happened in his territory. He did not bother to make a phone call. He called the driver and rushed to Black Mountain County.
Yan Bugao was anxiously waiting for Lu Yiwei's news in his office. He heard hurried footsteps in the corridor and thought Lu Yiwei had returned. He quickly went to open the door. When he opened the door and saw Guo Jinzhu, his whole world collapsed.
"Slap!" Guo Jinzhu slapped Yan Bugao's face hard. He then lifted his leg and kicked Yan Bugao to the ground. He walked to the desk and sat down with a pale face. He lit a cigarette and said, "Yan Bugao, I wasted my efforts on you. Look at what you have done!"
Yan Bugao did not expect Guo Jinzhu to hit him directly. It was appalling. He sat up and covered his face. He timidly walked to Guo Jinzhu, who was about the same age as him, and said, "Secretary Guo … I …"
"I what? Ah?" Guo Jinzhu slammed the table and roared, "The whole province knows about it. How can I not know about it? How can you be the secretary of the County party committee? Just now, Governor Zhao called to ask about the situation. I can't even f * cking answer him. Yan Bugao, you really disappoint me. "
Yan Bugao did not want to hide it anymore. In particular, the slap just now had sent all the guilt and guilt in his heart flying. He said, "Secretary Guo, I did not deliberately hide it. I thought I could control it. Who knew it would turn out like this. I didn't report to you because I didn't want to trouble you … "
"Shut up!" Guo Jinzhu was furious. He pointed at Yan Bugao and said, "Aren't you giving me trouble? You're pushing me into a fire pit! F * ck you! "Guo Jinzhu couldn't help but curse.
Anyway, things had already come to this. Yan Bugao stood there without saying a word.
Guo Jinzhu stared at Yan Bugao for dozens of seconds. If it weren't for the cigarette burning his fingers, he would have seen through him. He threw away the cigarette butt and said, "What's the situation? Tell me first."
Yan Bugao roughly reported the situation. Guo Jinzhu's face became more and more gloomy. After listening, he directly grabbed the cup on the table and threw it on the ground. He walked over and stretched out his hand, wanting to hit Guo Jinzhu, but he held back and clenched his fist. After a few seconds, he swung his hand and walked away.
Guo Jinzhu rushed to the hospital to check on the situation. Everything in front of him was more serious than he had imagined. He could not help but gasp. He immediately took out his phone and called the director of the Health Bureau, asking him to immediately dispatch all experienced medical workers to Black Mountain County.
After the head of the county, Jin Rongguang, knew that Guo Jinzhu was coming, he rushed to the hospital to accompany him and pretended to report. Guo Jinzhu did not even look at him and drove to Xiaowang Village.
Guo Jinzhu basically grasped the situation and rushed to the province to report the situation.
Zhao Kunsheng came to Xijiang Province from the central government. He lacked grassroots work experience and was not familiar with the local area. Many of the work was done while exploring. Compared to the experienced Zhang Bingtong, he was many times worse. Faced with the situation in Black Mountain County, he was also somewhat helpless.
Guo Jinzhu was sincere and promised in front of Zhao Kunsheng that the epidemic must be controlled within three days.
Zhao Kunsheng also did not want to expose this matter. He said, "Comrade Jinzhu, whether you can handle this incident well or not is a test of your ability. After that, let the Health Bureau send a team to guide the work. If it can't be controlled, then there's nothing I can do. "
After coming out of Zhao Kunsheng's office, Guo Jinzhu walked out of the provincial government gate and prepared to return to Xi Zhou. Seeing the Provincial Party Committee building opposite, he thought about it and decided to report the matter to Secretary Zhang Bingtong.
Strictly speaking, the reason why Guo Jinzhu could get to where he was today was because of Cai Runnian's words behind his back. In other words, he was the former secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Huang Jiyang's man.
Guo Jinzhu had a bad temper and spoke without thinking, offending many people. Especially because of his good friend, Hou Yongzhi, he offended the deputy governor, Qiu Yuanhang. Moreover, Qiu Yuanhang and Zhang Bingtong were close. Needless to say, if he unintentionally stabbed Guo Jinzhu in the back during the conversation, it would be enough to make Guo Jinzhu suffer.
Zhang Bingtong did not like Guo Jinzhu. Other than his personality, it was more because he was someone promoted by Huang Jiyang.
Guo Jinzhu walked into Zhang Bingtong's office with trepidation and reported the situation in Heishan County truthfully. He thought that Zhang Bingtong would fly into a rage, but unexpectedly, he was as calm as Mount Tai. He asked calmly, "Comrade Jinzhu, since this has happened, we should actively deal with it. I just want to know what you've done for this matter."
This question made Guo Jinzhu's face turn red, and he stuttered, unable to say a word.
Zhang Bingtong paused for a few seconds and said, "Alright, I got it. Go back and solve it quickly. If it doesn't work, I'll send someone else, okay?"
The more he acted like this, the more uncertain Guo Jinzhu felt. He might as well curse. He tried to explain but was stopped by Zhang Bingtong. "You're an old comrade. I believe you can handle this matter well. Go back."
After coming out of Zhang Bingtong's office, Guo Jinzhu rushed back to Xi Zhou City.
The first thing he did was to convene an emergency meeting with all the departments in the fight against SARS. He requested that all of them be stationed in Heishan County after the meeting. They would provide full support in terms of material, manpower, and financial resources. They must control the epidemic in a short period of time.
After Lu Yiwei returned to Heishan County, the team sent by the city had arrived one after another. At the same time, after consulting with Governor Zhao, Fan Rongkui transferred a group of experts from Pingkang City and rushed over.
When he saw Yan Bugao again, he was like a drowned chicken, sitting there in a daze.
Lu Yiwei knew that he had let him down, but he did not think that he had done anything wrong. He tried to explain, but was stopped by Yan Bugao. "Yiwei, you don't have to explain. I don't blame you for this. You did the right thing. In fact, I knew this would happen, but I still asked you to get help. Why? I just wanted to borrow your mouth to spread the news to save my face. "
"Secretary Yan, since things have come to this, then we should be more proactive and cooperate with the city to fight this battle." Lu Yiwei was full of confidence and cheered for Yan Bugao.
Yan Bugao waved his hand and smiled helplessly. "Yiwei, you go. I won't be going."
"Why?" Lu Yiwei asked, puzzled.
In fact, Yan Bugao's heart was like a mirror. He knew what the next step would mean. If there were no accidents, his position would be replaced by someone else before tonight. He said weakly, "No reason. I just want to sit here for a while. You go."
Seeing that Yan Bugao was tired and his face was pale, Lu Yiwei did not disturb him. He gently closed the door and quietly left.
As Yan Bugao sat there, he could hear the siren of an ambulance piercing through the sky. He looked out of the window. A ray of early spring sun shone on his face. It was a little dazzling, but it was very warm. He greedily enjoyed it. He reached out his hand to touch it, but his cold hand could not feel the warmth of the sun.
The sunlight gradually shifted, moving to the dying yew tree, shining on the floor, and refracting on the only banner on the wall. "Advanced Work County" was the only honor he had received in Black Mountain County. However, it was far less valuable than "Red Flag Work County". At this moment, it was particularly gloomy.
Looking back on his "military career" in Black Mountain County, there was almost nothing that he was proud of. Was it because he did not work hard, or was it because the environment did not allow it? He tried to find the reason, but his mind was blank. He could not think of anything.
Yan Bugao slowly sat up and looked at the pile of unread documents on the table. He felt extremely melancholy. At this time, the phone and mobile phone on the desk rang one after another. He ignored them and walked to the window sill to pick up the watering can and carefully take care of the yew tree.
"Are you going to leave me like this?" Yan Bugao looked at the dying yew tree and could not help but cry. Suddenly, he made a surprising move. He picked up a pair of scissors and frantically cut the yew tree into pieces. Then, he uprooted it and threw it into the trash can.
After finishing a series of work, Yan Bugao sat on the sofa and looked at the empty flower pot. He looked up at the sky and laughed …
County Magistrate Jin Rongguang was much smarter than Yan Bugao. In the past, he did not care about Yan Bugao, but now he put 120% of his energy into his work. This was not for Guo Jinzhu, but for his own future. Yan Bugao had fallen. Could he avoid it?
It seemed that it was time to test his acting skills!
That night, Jin Rongguang collapsed at his post.
After some resuscitation, Jin Rongguang finally woke up. He opened his eyes and was about to get up when he was stopped by a nurse. "County Magistrate Jin, your health is more important."
Jin Rongguang pushed her away and said, "Is my life more important or the safety of the people?"
The hospital director rushed over when he heard the news and tried to persuade him. "County Magistrate Jin, your blood pressure has reached a critical level. You can't work so hard anymore."
Jin Rongguang did not care about his life and said coldly, "What's there to be afraid of? The interests of the people are more important than anything else." After saying that, he pushed the director away and strode out of the ward.
After getting into the car, Jin Rongguang quickly took two blood pressure pills and asked the driver, "Did Secretary Guo come?"
The driver was Jin Rongguang's confidant. He said, "Secretary Guo came for a walk and then went back."
"Oh." Jin Rongguang was a little disappointed. He asked again, "Does Secretary Guo know about me fainting?"
"This … I'm not sure."
"Oh." Jin Rongguang thought about it. Who cares? Someone will definitely talk about it.
"But I heard that Secretary Guo took Lu Yiwei with him before he left," the driver said.
