Mayor Chen, you are here. When Chen Xing and the rest walked in, Xing Hua County's Party Secretary Xu Qingnian and County Magistrate Liu Jiancheng had already seen Chen Xing. Xu Qingnian hurried over to greet them.
How is the rescue going? Chen Xing looked ahead. Xing Hua County had tried their best to mobilize the armed police and militia. In addition, some of the county and village staff had also participated in the rescue. At this time, there were a lot of people in front of them. They surrounded the houses that were crushed by the mountain. The rescue workers were using life detectors to test if there were people buried under the mountain rocks.
It was not going well. It was still raining. The bad weather and the environment had a certain impact on the rescue. Xu Qingnian shook his head. He did not dare to hide anything from Chen Xing.
Let's do our best and leave the rest to God. Chen Xing sighed. 72 hours after the accident is the golden rescue time. We will do our best to save people. If the county has any request that the city can provide, you can tell us. We will do our best to meet your request. If the city can't provide it, we can also ask the province for help. The core of the work now is to save people. As long as there is a life down there, we will not give up.
Well, we will strictly follow your instructions, Mayor Chen. Xu Qingnian nodded. When he turned to look at the collapsed mountain, the expression on his face was not optimistic at all. Putting aside the fact that the people below were buried deep under the mountain, when the mountain collapsed, the people were all in the houses. When the mountain collapsed, the houses were directly crushed into pieces. Was there a high chance that the people inside would survive?
Xu Qingnian knew that the rescue work had to be carried out regardless of whether all the people were dead or not. Even if they knew for sure that all the people were dead, the rescue work could not be stopped. From the perspective of the government, this was the need for publicity work. However, the villagers were very simple. They wanted to see the people alive, and if they were dead, they wanted to see the bodies.
When Chen Xing and the others were talking, the woman who reprimanded Xiao Yuanqing just now appeared again. They went back to the car to get the battery. When they were introduced by the County Party Committee Publicity Department staff, they knew that Chen Xing and Xiao Yuanqing came from the city and Chen Xing was the mayor. The woman's eyes were obviously wide open. She looked at Chen Xing differently.
Which media are they from? Chen Xing turned around and asked Xu Qingnian when he saw the other party.
They were from the Nanzhou branch of Jinghua News Agency. They wanted to interview him, so he had to let them in. Xu Qingnian glanced in the direction of the woman and frowned unconsciously. Obviously, he did not like them, but he did not have a good reason to refuse them to come in for an interview. Jinghua News Agency was not an official newspaper, but if anyone dared to look down on them, they would only be asking for trouble. They were not an official newspaper on the surface, but their background was not bad at all. Although they were not as influential as Xinhua News Agency, they could not be underestimated. The key was that their reputation was not good. Xu Qingnian did not like them very much, but it was not appropriate for him to say that he would not let them in for an interview. If he offended the people from Jinghua News Agency, even if he was the Secretary of the County Party Committee, he would be in a terrible situation. In particular, the people from this unit had always been shameless, and they would resort to all kinds of means to take revenge. Xu Qingnian did not want to offend them.
"Oh, they are fast." Chen Xing was slightly surprised. The other party should also have come from Nanzhou. After receiving the news from Xing, he had rushed over as fast as he could, but the other party was still one step ahead of them. Their ability to get the news and their speed of action were really not ordinary.
Just as Chen Xing was talking about the other party, he saw the woman in the lead walk over. Mayor Chen, I am from Jinghua News Agency.
Let me introduce myself. I am the vice president of Jinghua News Agency in Nanzhou, Liang Ya. This is my business card.
As the woman spoke, she handed the business card to Chen Xing with a smile.
"Well, hello." Chen Xing took the business card. The expression on his face was not warm, but it did not make people feel cold either. Chen Xing had some understanding of the notoriety of Jinghua News Agency. This was a newspaper with almost no bottom line. As long as they were paid, they dared to write anything. They dared to write white, they dared to write black, and they dared to whitewash black. However, due to the background of the person behind them, this newspaper had always been able to stand tall, and few people were willing to offend them. No one wanted to compete with a group of madmen who thought they were uncrowned kings. If you bit them, they would swarm up and bite them like mad dogs. Ordinary cadres also kept a respectful distance from this newspaper, and they would try their best not to offend them.
Chen Xing had never come into contact with people from this news agency before, and he did not want to. Now that the other party had taken the initiative to come up, Chen Xing actually did not want to pay attention to them, but it was not appropriate for him to drive them away.
Mayor Chen, I wonder if I can interview you. Liang Ya said to Chen Xing with a smile.
Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his eyes. Did this woman know the rules? Without going through the relevant channels and procedures, she directly came up to him and said that she wanted to interview him, the mayor. Did she really think that Jinghua News Agency was very influential?
"Madam, if you want to interview me, please make an appointment first. We will make arrangements according to the mayor's working hours, and we will inform you when the time comes." Xiao Yuanqing could tell at a glance that Chen Xing was unhappy. At this time, it was his responsibility to share the leader's worries.
"Is Mayor Chen very busy now? I think Mayor Chen should be able to spare some time to accept our interview now. Besides, I am only doing a short interview. " Liang Ya stared at Chen Xing with burning eyes. She felt that Chen Xing should naturally accept her interview.
Now, everyone is concerned about the rescue. As the media, you should focus your attention on this. I think this should be the reason why you are here. The leaders are worried about the people buried at the bottom of the mountain, and now you are grabbing the leaders to interview them. What does this mean? Perhaps because Liang Ya had reprimanded Xiao Yuanqing just now, his words were quite sharp.
Liang Ya looked at Xiao Yuanqing in surprise. She did not expect the person next to Chen Xing to have such a sharp tongue. She turned to look at Xiao Yuanqing and said with a smile, "May I know who this is?"
"Director of the Government Office." Xiao Yuanqing said lightly, took out a business card and handed it to the other party. "This is my number. If you want to interview Mayor Chen, you can contact me first. As long as Mayor Chen is free, I will inform you."
Liang Ya took Xiao Yuanqing's business card. There was only a name and phone number written on it. There was no position or other information written on it. It was very simple. This made Liang Ya have no choice but to look up to Xiao Yuanqing. Most people would want to write all their titles and positions on their business cards. The higher the better, the more the better. Xiao Yuanqing was simple, just a name and number.
"Okay, I will contact Director Xiao." Liang Ya stared at Xiao Yuanqing, feeling a little unhappy. She felt that she had been disgraced, especially by Chen Xing, who seemed to be dismissive of her. Although he did not show it directly on his face, Liang Ya felt that she had been ignored. This made her, who had a high opinion of herself, a little unbearable. Wherever she went, she was used to being valued, and there were few people who would not give face to the Beijing News Agency.
At this time, Chen Xing had already left. He went to the front with Xu Qingnian and the others, concerned about the specific rescue work. Someone found a weak cry for help under a pile of wood and stones. There were already many people gathered there, and Chen Xing also went forward to understand the situation.
"Is there anyone down there?" Chen Xing asked an armed police officer with concern.
"Yes, someone, the life detector is responding." The armed police officer's voice was very excited.
There were already people around, shining flashlights down. At the same time, they shouted at the crack in the stone. It was one thing to know that there were still people alive down there, but it was another matter whether they could save them. The collapsed mountain rocks could not be moved at will. They had to make sure that it would not cause a second collapse before moving it. Otherwise, it would only harm the people below.
At this time, Chen Xing did not go forward to cause trouble. He was not good at rescue work. If he went forward to help, others would see that he was the mayor and had to serve him carefully. It could be said that if he went forward to help, he would only cause trouble and would not be of any help.
