Chapter 382 [Stand together] (Part 2)

When people think about it and work hard, their efficiency will be greatly improved. The intervention of Jiangcheng firefighting forces is a timely help. After learning the news, Chen Qinghua, secretary of the municipal party committee, smiled with relief. He said to Qi Guoyuan: "Did you see it? I'm right to use people!"

Qi Guoyuan deeply agreed: "At the beginning, I didn't understand what Secretary Chen left him there for. Now I understand Secretary Chen's intention. He is really far-sighted!" Although his words are all about being a slap in the game, they can tell the truth.

Chen Qinghua said: "Although Zhang Yang is a little more impetuous, he is better than some people who occupy a position and get stuck in a mess!"

Qi Guoyuan heard Chen Qinghua's highly targeted words, saying that Mayor Sun Dongqiang, today Sun Dongqiang went down to inspect drought resistance work, and he was not present if such a big thing happened in the city.

Chen Qinghua said: "I don't know when Fengze will get rain?"

Qi Guolong said: "Aren't these two days cloudy? Maybe there will be rain in a while."

Chen Qinghua sighed and said, "The Meteorological Observatory has already said that there will be no rain in the near future!"

At this time, Mayor Sun Dongqiang arrived in a hurry. He had just returned from inspecting the drought resistance work and heard that the water pipe burst. He wanted to go directly to the scene to check it out, but he heard that Secretary Chen had already returned from the site inspection, so he decided to come and meet Shen Qinghua first.

When Chen Qinghua saw Sun Dongqiang coming, he nodded and invited him to sit down: "Dongqiang, how is the implementation of drought resistance work below?"

Sun Dongqiang said with a heavy expression: "It's very difficult. Cadres at all levels are still very active in their work, but the drought is too serious and the funds for drought resistance are not enough, so the development of drought cannot be controlled."

Chen Qinghua said: "It was drought outside, but there was a flood in the city. It was really a world of ice and fire!"

Sun Dongqiang followed his words and asked, "Secretary Chen, I heard that the water supply main pipeline of the East District Water Plant exploded?"

Chen Qinghua said: "It exploded. The water plant has turned off the water supply pump. The site is searching for a leak point!" He looked at the clock and said: "It's been six hours, but the leak point has not been found yet!"

Sun Dongqiang said: "The situation is serious?"

Chen Qinghua said: "More than 100,000 citizens in the East District have stopped water. Do you think the situation is serious?"

Sun Dongqiang bit his lip and made a solemn look: "Secretary Chen, I'll go to the scene to see it right away!"

Chen Qinghua said: "Chen Jianian is commanding there, and Jin Lei and Zhang Yang are working together on the spot. You don't need to ask about this matter. Your energy is mainly focused on drought resistance!" Chen Qinghua saw this kind of thing very clearly. It would be useless if Sun Dongqiang went there. There was an extra leader, and it was even more quarrel at work. He said to Sun Dongqiang: "You can't take care of all the things Fengze has done. At present, drought relief is the top priority. You must trust other comrades and believe that they can handle this matter as soon as possible."

Sun Dongqiang nodded. After leaving Chen Qinghua's office, he decided to go to the scene. Such a big thing happened in the city. As the mayor, he could not go and see it, otherwise someone would definitely say that he would not do anything in the future.

When Sun Dongqiang arrived at Fuguo Road, it was almost dusk. It was time to get off work. Because the water pipes on Fuguo Road exploded, the road was temporarily closed, and the traffic pressure on the surrounding roads suddenly increased. It took Sun Dongqiang nearly twenty minutes less than two kilometers from the municipal government to Fuguo Road.

Five water pumps were temporarily transferred to work on the site. The water on the street has dropped a lot. Now the ankle has just submerged, and the workers in charge of the maintenance have begun to search for leaks.

Sun Dongqiang's secretary Zhai Liang got out of the car first and reminded him when he opened the car door for Sun Dongqiang: "Mayor Sun, the water is still very deep!"

Sun Dongqiang looked at him dissatisfiedly and stepped into the water without hesitation. He saw Chen Jianian and Zhang Yang standing not far away, discussing something with the staff responsible for the maintenance.

Sun Dongqiang walked over. Zhang Yang first saw him because he was facing Sun Dongqiang. Zhang Yang just pretended not to see him and ignored him.

Chen Jianian really didn't see it until Zhai Liang called out: "Deputy Mayor Chen, Mayor Sun is here!" He had always had prejudice against Zhang Yang, but he didn't even greet Zhang Yang.

Chen Jianian raised his head and smiled at Sun Dongqiang, saying hello, and said to the maintenance staff: "You can work harder. You must find a leak before the early morning tonight, and strive to repair the pipe before tomorrow morning."

The maintenance personnel left.

Zhang Yang also smiled and said, "Mayor Sun is here! Secretary Zhai is here, you don't know me! It seems that I have to introduce myself!" He stretched out his hand to Zhai Liang with a smile.

Zhai Liang's face turned red suddenly. Zhang Yang slapped the face in an absolute slap. Not only did he slap him in the face, but he also slapped Sun Dongqiang's face. Sun Dongqiang's face looked very bad. He glared at Zhai Liang fiercely. This secretary was too petty and had no basic politeness at all.

Zhai Liang hurriedly lowered his head and shouted politely: "Mayor Zhang, you are here too!" This time he swallowed his deputy back.

Executive Vice Mayor Chen Jianian was unhappy, numb, what, relying on his power, he called me Deputy Mayor Chen, you think I am easy to bully? When I get there, they are all mayors, and I am still an executive vice mayor at least. Why do you have to emphasize the sub-word to me? Are you afraid that I don’t know that Sun Dongqiang is the official position?

Many times, it is inexplicable to offend people. Beating a dog depends on the owner, but when the dog bites a person, the account will of course be recorded on the owner. Sun Dongqiang felt the hostility in them, which did not attract much attention from Sun Dongqiang. After he came to Fengze, he was in a nearly identical situation as Zhang Yang, and he was still in a state of being excluded. Although he was the mayor, he still could not integrate into Fengze's system freely.

Sun Dongqiang made a kind statement: "Comrade Jia Nian, how is the scene?"

Chen Jianian said: "You have seen it all, the accumulated water has not been completely drained, and it is difficult to find the leaking point. Everyone is working hard!"

Sun Dongqiang nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, I'll go and comfort the workers!" When Sun Dongqiang was working as the Jiangcheng Youth League Committee, he was good at doing superficial skills. He walked over with a smile, and Zhai Liang hurriedly opened the way for him.

Journalists from major media in Fengze were squatting here to pay attention to the latest progress. I heard that the mayor came and flocked to him.

Sun Dongqiang shook hands with the workers on site and firefighters with a smile. He was very friendly and did not dislike the workers' hands.

The flash keeps flashing.

Executive Vice Mayor Chen Jianian frowned in disgust. This subtle expression change did not escape the eyes of Zhang Daguanren. Sun Dongqiang is indeed very annoying. From the beginning of the explosion of the main water supply trunk pipe, Chen Jianian, Zhang Yang and Jin Lei are in charge of the command work. Now the water is almost done. You, Sun Dongqiang, come to show, which is obviously a suspicion of winning the credit. Chen Jianian is unhappy, and Zhang Yang is not happy either.

Zhang Yang said deliberately: "Mayor Chen, why don't we go over and take a look?"

Chen Jianian said with depression: "If you want to go, you will go by yourself, I still have to be busy inspecting the disaster!"

Zhang Yang saw Chen Jianian's dissatisfaction, and he smiled and said, "We are in the same boat through thick and thin. Mayor Chen will not go, and I will not go!" If you say this in your usual way, it would not be much power, but saying such words in this specific occasion made Chen Jianian feel an indescribable touch from the bottom of his heart. He nodded: "Let's go, let's see the losses of the merchant!"

Sun Dongqiang also realized that his arrival was not popular, but the reporters had surrounded him. Unlike Chen Qinghua, who didn't like reporters' visits, Sun Dongqiang still enjoyed the flashing of spotlights. When he shook hands with the workers, he deliberately put on a few poses.

A reporter asked: "Mayor Sun, may I ask Fengze this time that the main water supply pipeline exploded. What measures will the city leaders take against this matter?"

Sun Dongqiang said: "I regret seeing the water pipe bursting, which proves that our work is not in place. The relevant departments have dereliction of duty. At present, all leaders of our Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government are paying attention to the progress of this matter. After the explosion incident, the city leaders immediately took countermeasures, striving to solve the problem in the shortest time and ensure the daily water supply of the general public..." Sun Dongqiang was very eloquent and talked to the camera.

Zhang Yang looked at him from a distance. Compared with Shen Qinghua, Sun Dongqiang seemed a little too active now.

Zhang Yang was very unhappy with this guy. He didn't do much, and he stole all the limelight. After taking two steps, he suddenly had a plan and came to a secluded place. He looked around and took out the phone and called Liang Yan, the director of the TV station.

Liang Yan was quite surprised when she received a call from Zhang Yang: "Old classmate, what instructions do you have to ask me for?"

Zhang Yang said: "Sister Liang, I want you to help you with something!"

Liang Yan said: "Don't talk about the word "help". If you have any questions, just give orders! You are my superior leader!"

Zhang Yang smiled, thinking that he was not her direct leader. The Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department was in charge of her. The deputy mayor in charge was only nominal. Zhang Yang said: "Have you heard about the explosion of the main water supply trunk of Fuguo Road?"

"Of course I know that such a big thing can be regarded as today's headline news. I have sent a report team and the news will be broadcast tonight!"

Zhang Yang said: "I saw them interviewing Mayor Sun, and they said it very well. We should make more publicity and let the people hear Mayor Sun's speech!"

Liang Yan was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what Zhang Yang meant. This was definitely not about helping Sun Dongqiang promote it. He was probably trying to praise the mayor who was showing off. Liang Yan said, "More publicity?"

Zhang Yang was afraid that she wouldn't understand: "More publicity, focus on publicity!"

So under the guidance of Zhang Daren, the TV news centered on the interview with Mayor Sun Dongqiang was aired that night.

Most ordinary people in Jiangcheng saw this news. The headlines of Fengze News, Mayor Sun Dongqiang appeared on the front line of emergency repair of water pipes, waded to the water to comfort the workers who repaired the main water supply pipes, shook hands with them cordially, and delivered a warm speech on the spot.

Municipal Party Secretary Chen Qinghua sat on the sofa and watched the news quietly. His face became more and more gloomy. When he heard Sun Dongqiang say, please rest assured that we will troubleshoot the problem in the shortest time and solve the problem, Chen Qinghua snorted heavily, picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. His wife Zhao Guoning said on the side: "What's wrong? You're so angry?"

Chen Qinghua said: "The young cadres nowadays are really impetuous!"

Zhao Guoning said: "You mean Zhang Yang?"

Chen Qinghua frowned, wondering why his wife mentioned Zhang Yang's name.

Zhao Guoning said: "I heard that Zhang Yang relies on his good relationship with Secretary Du, and is very rampant, and his reputation in Jiangcheng is not very good!"

Chen Qinghua said: "Don't listen to others' nonsense. Those who have no evidence can do not say bad things about others."

Zhao Guoning snorted and said, "Why do I have no evidence? Do you know that a few days ago, a builder offended him and was framed and robbed by him, and almost went to prison. Later, the builder's sister went to beg him, and it seemed that he had been with him overnight before he released the builder."

Chen Qinghua glared at his wife and said, "What are you talking nonsense? Can you talk nonsense about such a storm?"

Zhao Guoning said: "Why is it catching the wind and shadows? Now Fengze has spread all over the world. What is the legend of the new lieutenant girl? Xie Junchuo sacrificed his life to save his brother. It is groundless to have no cause. One person says this, it may be catching the wind and shadows, but now there are hundreds of people and thousands of people say this, which makes people believe it."

Chen Qinghua said, "There are also rumors. Many things are not like this, but they change their taste after being spread." He suddenly realized something and looked at his wife and said, "You must not have heard Guodong say it?"

Zhao Guoning said: "How could it be? He was busy with the Fengze Jinshang robbery recently, and I have never seen him!"

At the Fuguo Road accident site command center, executive vice mayors Chen Jianian and Zhang Yang did not leave. Secretary Fu Changzheng ordered a few dishes from the hotel next door. The two started eating at 8 o'clock. Zhang Yang ordered two bottles of beer. He smiled at Chen Jianian and said, "Mayor Chen doesn't drink, I won't say hello to you!"

Chen Jianian couldn't help but remember the last time he made a fool of himself in public at the city government guesthouse. He smiled awkwardly. He still didn't understand the matter. Who was the one who harmed him? He had suspected Zhang Denggao and Zhang Yang, but there was no evidence and he had been in his heart for a long time. Fu Changzheng brought Chen Jianian a bottle of Sprite, which was Zhang Yang's instruction.

Zhang Yang said deliberately: "Why don't you drink Sprite!"

But when Chen Jianian saw Sprite, he felt upset. He waved his hand and said, "No, I'm allergic!"

Zhang Yang laughed: "Don't worry, there is no alcohol in this Sprite!"

Chen Jianian smiled awkwardly. He didn't dare to drink Sprite after all. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of boiled water. Finally, he couldn't help saying, "Xiao Zhang, do you know about Sprite's last time drinking?"

Zhang Yang took a sip of beer and said, "When talking about this, Mayor Chen, I'm a little sorry for you!"

Chen Jianian's heart sank. Could it be that the guy who drank into Sprite last time was really this guy? What did he mean? He had no grudges with him, why did he harm him? Chen Jianian really couldn't figure it out. There must be a reason for anything, right?

Zhang Yang said: "Actually, I knew that Sprite was mixed with wine beforehand!"

Chen Jianian said: "Then why don't you remind me?"

Zhang Yang sighed and said, "You know, I just came to Fengze not long ago and drank wine in Sprite. I couldn't make a sound. Anyway, I had a lot of alcohol and I wouldn't get drunk after drinking. That bottle of Sprite was brought by Zhang Denggao. In fact, he didn't want to harm you. He was targeting me!"

The more Chen Jianian listened, the more confused he became: "Zhang Yang, I found that he was still very angry with you. If you have anything to say, we will make it clear. I promise that the past will be over and will never be kept in my heart."

Zhang Yang said: "You may have heard that Mayor Sun and I had not been very happy in Jiangcheng in the past, right?"

Of course, Chen Jianian had heard of it. Since Zhang Yang took the initiative to mention it, he nodded.

Zhang Yang said: "Actually, that bottle of Sprite is targeted at me. Secretary Chen ordered the name of a secretary to ban wine at noon. Some people were unhappy about me, so they used some tricks to make Zhang Denggao tamper in Sprite. You happened to be sitting next to me and pour Sprite for me. Zhang Denggao was afraid of revealing the filling, so he had to pour you a glass. I didn't expect that you were allergic to alcohol and had such a big reaction at that time."

Zhang Yang's statement was reasonable. After hearing that Chen Jianian believed that he had been injured by accident, he smiled bitterly: "You didn't tell me afterwards, which made me wonder."

Zhang Yang said: "If I hadn't had the opportunity to work with you today, I wouldn't dare say it. Even if I said it, you might not believe it. I arranged the dinner at that time. According to normal thinking, anyone would think that I was doing it for me to add wine to Sprite."
