At the entrance of the hotel, Chen Xing waved to Jiang Jianfei, who was seeing him off, and motioned him to stay.
Mayor Chen, let me help you hold the umbrella. Seeing that Chen Xing was holding the umbrella himself, Jiang Jianfei looked at Chen Xing's driver, Li Yong, and thought that it was not Li Yong who was holding the umbrella for Chen Xing. This driver was too incompetent. Before he had time to think, Jiang Jianfei had come up again and rushed to hold the umbrella for Chen Xing.
"Don't worry, I have hands and feet." Chen Xing smiled.
"Then, Mayor Chen, please be careful." Jiang Jianfei looked at Chen Xing's face carefully and knew that Chen Xing was not evading. Then he looked at Li Yong, who was beside him, and saw that Li Yong looked at him as usual, but there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes. Jiang Jianfei was stunned, and then he realized that no matter how much he knew about Chen Xing, it was just a night of contact. How could he know more than Li Yong, who was Chen Xing's driver? It was not that Li Yong didn't dare to refuse to hold the umbrella for Chen Xing, but he was very clear that Chen Xing was used to doing this for him. Li Yong's eyes seemed to say that he was trying to please him for nothing.
Nodding to Li Yong, Jiang Jianfei was not annoyed. Although Li Yong was just a driver with no diploma and was just a soldier from the army, in Jiang Jianfei's eyes, Li Yong was undoubtedly worth making friends with. He did not mind taking the initiative to show his kindness to Li Yong.
Li Yong simply responded to Jiang Jianfei and got in the car.
Before Chen Xing got in the car, he paused again and turned back to Jiang Jianfei. "You can tell Assistant Zhou what you know."
Jiang Jianfei was stunned for a moment. Before he had time to think, Chen Xing had already got in the car and left, without giving him a chance to speak.
Watching Chen Xing's car go away, Jiang Jianfei was lost in thought. Tonight's contact with Chen Xing was a preliminary understanding of Chen Xing. Jiang Jianfei did not dare to define what kind of person Chen Xing was. Who in the officialdom didn't wear several masks? The side that Chen Xing showed in front of him was not necessarily the real Chen Xing. If he wanted to really understand Chen Xing, he had to integrate into Chen Xing's circle in order to have a chance to understand him. Otherwise, it would be wishful thinking. But was it so easy to get into Chen Xing's circle?
Jiang Jianfei carefully thought about the meaning of Chen Xing's last sentence. He had already told Chen Xing what he knew. Although he kept some of it to himself, he believed that what he said was enough to make Chen Xing pay attention to it. Chen Xing could go directly to Zhou Zhijin and let him say it himself. This was obviously an unnecessary move. But would Chen Xing do such a meaningless thing?
"Dad, I think it won't be so easy for you to take the initiative to get close to Mayor Chen." Jiang Chenggang came up and whispered in his father's ear.
"Yes, it won't be so easy." Jiang Jianfei replied. His eyes suddenly narrowed. He suddenly understood the meaning of Chen Xing's last sentence. He wanted to enter Chen Xing's circle and directly get close to Chen Xing, but he was not qualified yet!!
Chen Xing asked him to get in touch with Zhou Zhijin. In addition to testing him further, the other meaning was to tell him that if he wanted to step into the core of Chen Xing's circle, he was not qualified yet. Only by integrating into the outer circle could he be qualified to go further into the inner circle and be qualified to face Chen Xing directly. And now, he was only qualified to get in touch with Zhou Zhijin.
In the Municipal Government, after Chen Xing returned, he went straight to Shao Huadong's office. The director of the Municipal Meteorological Bureau, Shen Yuan, and the deputy director, Huang Peide, were still there. As soon as Chen Xing entered the door, Shao Huadong and the others stood up. Chen Xing smiled and waved his hand. "Huadong, why are you standing up?"
"The mayor is here. I don't dare to sit still." Shao Huadong said half-jokingly.
Shen Yuan and Huang Peide listened to the casual conversation between Chen Xing and Shao Huadong. They couldn't help but look at each other. Although there were rumors that Chen Xing and Shao Huadong, the two leaders of the Municipal Government, had a close relationship, they were still a little surprised to see it with their own eyes.
"Shen Yuan, introduce the situation to Chen Xing." Shao Huadong pointed at Shen Yuan.
Chen Xing simply sat down. When listening to Shen Yuan's report on the future weather, Chen Xing also frowned. "How long do you think this rain will last?"
"Mayor, I'm afraid it's not easy to predict. It will definitely rain tomorrow. As for the day after tomorrow, according to today's satellite map, it will probably continue to rain, but it's hard to say whether it will be as heavy as today." Shen Yuan thought for a moment and said.
"Huadong, did the government office send a notice to the counties and districts?" Chen Xing raised his head and looked at Shao Huadong.
"Yes, the Meteorological Bureau issued a blue rainstorm signal in the afternoon. In such a situation, the office will routinely issue relevant meteorological disaster prevention notices to the lower levels." Shao Huadong nodded and said, "Just now, the Meteorological Bureau has activated the level IV emergency response mechanism. I personally think it should be upgraded to attract attention."
"Well, what you said makes sense. If the rain doesn't stop tomorrow, it is necessary to activate a higher level of emergency response mechanism. The leaders and cadres should take the lead in paying attention." Chen Xing agreed with Shao Huadong's proposal. He was also a decisive person, so he directly ordered Shen Yuan. "Comrade Shen Yuan, I have two requirements here. Write them down. First, you have heard Deputy Mayor Shao's suggestion. When you go back, immediately activate the level III emergency response mechanism. The Municipal Government Office will cooperate with you to issue the relevant notice, so that the counties and districts can pay attention to it. Second, do a solid job in the weather forecast service. From now on, report important meteorological information to the municipal leaders, and issue rainstorm warnings through various channels such as radio, television, websites, and text messages to remind the public to pay attention to heavy rainfall and the resulting urban and rural waterlogging, landslides, and other geological disasters. At the same time, guard against disasters caused by strong lightning and thunderstorms."
"Mayor Chen, rest assured, we will strictly carry out your instructions." Shen Yuan replied in a loud and clear voice.
"Just like tonight, you have done a good job reporting the situation to the municipal leaders on duty in time. This is the embodiment of your work." Chen Xing praised.
"Mayor Chen, this is our duty." Shen Yuan couldn't help but feel a little happy after being praised by Chen Xing.
…
Beishan Reservoir. Zhang Shaoliang was standing on the observation deck of the reservoir embankment with an umbrella. During the day, the mayor came for an inspection. Zhang Shaoliang hid in the house and didn't come out. He didn't care for the opportunity to show his face in front of the leaders. He was a student majoring in water conservancy, and his dream was to devote himself to water conservancy. From a young boy who just graduated from college to a middle-aged man, Zhang Shaoliang had experienced a lot and learned a lot. The dream of water conservancy that he had when he was young seemed to have been strangled in reality. If a person didn't want to go with the flow in the system, he could only be marginalized.
Looking at the heavy rain that was still pouring down from the sky, Zhang Shaoliang seemed to have a devil's voice in his heart. He muttered to himself, "Go ahead, go ahead and pour as much as you can. If you break the reservoir, those bastards will be finished."
Although such a voice echoed in his heart, the expression on Zhang Shaoliang's face was so contradictory to his words at this moment. Compared with the day, the water level of the reservoir was slowly rising. When Zhang Shaoliang looked at the situation in front of him, he was extremely worried. If the reservoir really broke, how serious would the consequences be? Zhang Shaoliang didn't dare to think about it. He didn't want to see the people pay for the mistakes of those maggots.
In fact, there was no need for the reservoir to break. As long as the water level rose again, the municipal leaders might be able to find the problem. But Zhang Shaoliang knew that it was impossible. Sun Wencai and those bastards had ways to cover up all kinds of truths.
"It's so late. Why is Deputy Director Zhang in the mood to stand outside in the wind and rain?" A disharmonious voice came from behind Zhang Shaoliang.
"Director Sun is also here. Is Director Sun also in the mood?" Zhang Shaoliang didn't need to turn his head to know whose voice it was. He replied coldly.
"I saw someone up there from afar, so I came to take a look." Sun Wencai smiled and stood next to Zhang Shaoliang leisurely, as if he was deliberately trying to put on a nonchalant attitude. But when his eyes fell on the reservoir, there was always a flash of worry in the depths of his eyes.
"I don't think Director Sun is just here to take a look. He came here specially." Zhang Shaoliang stared at Sun Wencai, trying to figure out something from Sun Wencai's abnormally calm face. His words were overbearing, but allow me to say something inauspicious. If the rain continues, I don't know if the dam of the reservoir will be able to hold up.
"You said you have a crow's mouth, but you still said it out loud. Deputy Director Zhang, no wonder you are so unlikable. You have a big mouth." Sun Wencai snorted coldly.
"I'm just stating the facts. If Director Sun doesn't like it, you can choose to ignore it. But I still have to say what needs to be said. If something really happens to the reservoir, Director Sun should know the consequences. No one wants to see that happen. I think Director Sun can either pray for the rain to stop or take remedial measures as soon as possible. Don't wait until the fire is burning your eyebrows before taking action. If Director Sun still doesn't like what I said, then just pretend that I didn't say anything."
"Your mouth is always so stinky." Sun Wencai turned his head and glared at Zhang Shaoliang, then turned to leave. It was obvious that Zhang Shaoliang's words had annoyed him.
"Is Director Sun also afraid because of a guilty conscience?" Zhang Shaoliang looked at Sun Wencai's back and shouted.
What responded to Zhang Shaoliang was Sun Wencai's back getting further and further away in the heavy rain.
