8 pm.
District Committee, small meeting room.
The meeting room's door was slammed shut by Dong Xuebing.
Wang Anshi's face turned green. He had called Dong Xuebing over because he wanted Dong Xuebing to admit his mistakes and give an explanation to the City Government. This incident had alarmed many City Government Leaders, but Dong Xuebing still refused to admit his mistakes. He even scolded all the District Leaders for not doing what they were supposed to do. He had offended all the District Leaders!
Dong Xuebing!
What a Street Office Director!
How come there is such a hooligan in the government?!
Dong Xuebing had behaved like a thug today, and no one expected him to say something so ruthless. He is not giving himself a way out. If there is no earthquake, Dong Xuebing will not be able to survive in the government.
But no one thinks the earthquake will happen!
Secretary Wu Liang, let the Commission for Discipline Inspection investigate him. If necessary, we can take measures to arrest him. Now, stabilizing the situation is the most important. The Publicity Department should step in and stop the rumors. The Public Security Bureau should cooperate with us and increase manpower to maintain order. We must stop the rumors of the earthquake! "Wang Anshi was the one who did not believe Dong Xuebing the most, and Dong Xuebing's actions made him furious." How dare he talk back to the leaders in public and disobey the District's orders?
"Yes, Secretary."
"Don't worry. We will do our best."
The leaders who were called by Wang Anshi replied.
Suspending Dong Xuebing from his duties and refuting the rumor are normal procedures. There is nothing wrong with this. After all, the Earthquake Department had reported that there are no signs of an earthquake. Compared to the abnormal reactions of some cats and dogs, this is more authoritative and has evidence to back it up. But some people felt this is not right. Dong Xuebing is right. Although the probability of an earthquake is low, there is no way to rule out the possibility of an earthquake. But if an earthquake really happens, then …
It will disperse.
Mayor Geng Yuehua did not say anything from the start.
After leaving the meeting room, Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary Wu Liang caught up with Geng Yuehua. "Mayor Yuehua, I have something to discuss with you. Shall we go to your office?"
Geng Yuehua nodded and went downstairs with him.
Wu Liang and Geng Yuehua sat on the sofa in the Mayor's office.
"Mayor, I don't think Secretary Wang's handling of this matter is appropriate." Wu Liang had been close to Geng Yuehua for a long time. He sighed. "I didn't think much of it before, but what Dong Xuebing said made me sigh. I admit I had some opinions about Dong Xuebing in the past as he does things without considering the consequences. But this time, I am ashamed of what he said. That's right. Now, we cannot rule out the possibility of an earthquake. I had also received news of the cat and dog's abnormalities, but no one wants to be responsible for it. That's why everyone pretended not to see anything."
What happened just now had changed Wu Liang's impression of Dong Xuebing. He even respected Dong Xuebing. There were not many people who could do this for the commoners.
Geng Yuehua looked at him with a straight face. "What do you think is the probability of an earthquake?"
Wu Liangyi pondered and said, "I feel that there's at least a ten percent chance."
The office suddenly fell silent, and there was no movement for a long time. Only the ticking of the clock on the wall could be heard, as the minutes and seconds passed.
After a while, Geng Yuehua finally spoke. "A ten percent chance is not small."
Wu Liang hesitated. "You mean … …"
Geng Yuehua replied emotionlessly. "The City Government will not support this. I don't have the authority to evacuate the commoners, but I can help them." After that, Geng Yuehua took out her phone and called her secretary, Ma Li. "Hello? Contact the TV station immediately. I want CCTV 2 to broadcast a short video on earthquake prevention and disaster reduction tomorrow morning. Also, contact all the district offices and ask them to prepare for the earthquake … … Don't ask any questions! Just do as I say! That's all! "
Seeing this, Wu Liang's heart jumped. He just wanted to discuss it with Geng Yuehua. Who would have thought that Mayor Yuehua would be so decisive? Geng Yuehua was indeed Geng Yuehua. She was not ambiguous when doing things. As long as she was determined, she would use this kind of swift and decisive means!
The District Party Secretary wants to refute the rumors and stabilize the situation.
The Mayor wants to add fuel to the fire and let everyone be on high alert.
This was tantamount to the first and second leaders of the district openly challenging each other. Wu Liang knew that after this incident, one of Wang Anshi and Geng Yuehua would definitely leave. This was not even a thought.
This time, there will be an earthquake in the district.
Even if it is not a geological earthquake, it must be an earthquake in the government!
… …
At the same time.
Guangming Street Office.
The sky had turned dark, but the office was still lit.
Dong Xuebing had called for an emergency meeting in the Guangming Street's main meeting room. He had not only called all the leaders of the Guangming Street Office, but he had also called for the staff, officers, officers from the police station, and the neighborhood committee members. There were about a hundred of them, and this was the entire Guangming Street Office's manpower. They had mobilized all the manpower they could.
The meeting had not started, and it was chaotic in the meeting room.
"Have you heard? The whole Fen Zhou City is in chaos. "
"That's right. It's all because of Chief Dong's article."
"Chief Dong is suspended from his duties. Sigh … … This matter had blown up, and there is no way to resolve it."
"What should we do? Will we implicate our Street District? That's bad. Chief Dong really dares to do this. This time, he has really pierced the sky. "
"Is there anything Chief Dong doesn't dare to do?"
"You all still don't know? Chief Dong had just gone to the District's Party Committee Committee, and I heard Chief Dong had pointed at Secretary Anshi and scolded all the District's leaders, saying they are cowards. "
"Damn! Is this real?"
"I heard it from a friend in the District's Party Committee."
"Chief Dong's boldness is unimaginable."
"Do you all think there will be an earthquake? It can't be so coincidental. "
"It's hard to say. Anyway, I had asked my family to leave. It's better to believe it than not."
The microphone on the rostrum suddenly made an ear-piercing sound. After the tuning was completed, the microphone was turned on. Everyone's discussion quieted down and looked up at the stage. They didn't know what was the meaning of holding such a large-scale meeting. Even if it was a meeting, there was no need to call all the community workers. However, many people could sense that Chief Dong was going to do something earth-shattering again.
Geng Xinke, Zhou Yanru, Wang Yuling, and the rest of the Street District's leaders were sitting in the front row. They were feeling uneasy and frustrated. Too many things had happened today.
Dong Xuebing walked up the stage and held the microphone. He looked at the crowd with mixed feelings.
Everyone was looking at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and said in a deep voice. "Many of you should know that the District Party Committee had suspended me from my duties. I might not have the right to stand here, but I must say something. This is because something that will affect the lives of millions of people is about to happen!"
Someone asked anxiously. "Chief, is there really going to be an earthquake?"
This is the question everyone wants to know the answer to.
But Dong Xuebing looked at everyone and replied calmly. "Actually, I am also not sure."
"Ah?" Many people were stunned. "You also don't know?"
Geng Xinke, Zhou Yanru, and the rest were stunned. All of them thought Dong Xuebing is confident that this will happen, and that's why he made such a crazy move. But in the end, Dong Xuebing told them that he is not sure about it!
"This …"
"Chief, you …"
"Ah … then this …"
Dong Xuebing saw the crowd was in chaos and raised his voice. "I am not sure if there will be an earthquake! I also don't know if those cats and dogs are acting strangely is a sign of an earthquake! But there is one thing I am sure of! I am the Street District's Chief! I am a Party member! I am a government official! There are close to 100,000 people under my jurisdiction! As long as the people are in danger! There are difficulties! I, Dong Xuebing, must step up! Our Street District Office must step up! "
The crowd quietened down.
Dong Xuebing said in a serious tone. "I cannot tell you 100% that an earthquake is coming! No one can do anything about it! But as long as there is a slight possibility of an earthquake! I cannot take the risk! I cannot gamble with the lives of the people! I don't want to lose my position! Even if I am fired from the Party or a civil servant! I have to make sure that the people under my jurisdiction can live in peace! The people are in danger! If not, who will step up? If not, what is the Street District Office for? What is the Neighborhood Committee for? "Dong Xuebing paused for a while and said firmly." Today, I will be suspended from my position! I might be fired tomorrow! The day after tomorrow, I will be expelled from the Party! This might be the last time I stand here to speak to all of you! Now, the city doesn't believe in earthquakes, and the district doesn't believe in earthquakes either. I know that everyone is afraid of taking responsibility. They don't want to be rewarded, but they want to avoid mistakes! But they are afraid! I, Dong Xuebing, am not afraid! They don't dare to do it! I, Dong Xuebing, dare to do it! I am the Guangming Street District Office's Chief! I will be responsible for the people under my jurisdiction! I have the responsibility to protect their safety! "
Dong Xuebing looked at everyone and said. "Now, I want to evacuate all the people in the old buildings! I repeat! This is not a drill! Also, this is not approved by the District or the City! This is my personal decision! If anything happens, I will bear the responsibility! If anyone is willing to evacuate the people with me! Step forward! Some of you are afraid of taking the responsibility … I don't blame you. Just leave quietly, and I will not say anything! "
