Leaving the funeral home, Hou Weidong's mood became extremely dull. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yan Chunping silently followed behind him and did not take the initiative to speak.

The two walked along the lively street for hundreds of meters, which was out of place with the lively street scene around them. The city is a huge reinforced concrete building, lively on the outside, but extremely cold on the inside.

Zhou Changquan died of illness, and veteran leaders of Lingxi Province, such as Meng Haofang, Qian Guoliang, Zhu Jianguo, and Zhu Yan, were successively transferred to work in the central government or other provinces. These things are all unwilling for Hou Weidong to happen, but change is the truth of the world, and unchanged is an illusion that deceives people. Hou Weidong knew that when the change came, there was no other way than to find a way to overcome it.

The mobile phone in Yan Chunping's bag vibrate. In order not to disturb Hou Weidong's thoughts, he deliberately slowed down. took out his mobile phone, and saw that the caller was Secretary-General Liu Qingyuan, his steps slowed down, and he said softly: "Liu Mi, I'm Xiao Yan." ”

Liu Qingyuan said anxiously: "Is Mayor Hou still in the funeral home?" ”

Yan Chunping said: "It's already out." ”

"Then I'll call him directly." Liu Qingyuan asked again: "How is Mayor Hou feeling?" ”

Yan Chunping said: "It's not good, he didn't take the car, I accompanied him on the street." ”

Liu Qingyuan sighed: "If the old leader is gone, everyone will be uncomfortable. But I have to make this call, I have to make it. ”

Soon, Hou Weidong received a call from Liu Qingyuan.

Liu Qingyuan tried his best to calm down his emotions in front of Hou Weidong, and reported: "Mayor Hou, during the demolition process of Xiaohui Village in Nancheng, Miao Fenggao, a nail household, poured gasoline on the roof of the building, and when the staff approached the roof, Miao Fenggao lit a fire, and it burned. ”

Hou Weidong's eyebrows rose suddenly, and he said, "Are there any dead or injured?" ”

Liu Qingyuan said: "Miao Fenggao was seriously injured, and the ambulance sent him to the hospital for rescue, but the rescue was ineffective and died. While waiting for the ambulance, there was another accident, Miao's son took advantage of the attention of the staff downstairs upstairs, and knocked a team member on the head with a hoe. ”

Hou Weidong didn't expect two to die, gasped, and said, "How was the scene?" ”

Liu Qingyuan said: "The relatives of the Miao family lifted the coffin and gathered at the gate of the city government one after another, blocking the door. According to the information I received, many reporters rushed to Chao Maoyun. ”

Hou Weidong immediately said: "According to the plan, under the command of Deputy Mayor Ji Cheng on the spot, an emergency meeting will be held to come up with a preliminary plan. ”

At this time, Duan Yiyong was on a business trip to the United States, and Hou Weidong, as the mayor, must take responsibility, and made specific arrangements: "I would like to put forward a few opinions, first, ask the Legislative Affairs Office to convene all departments related to the demolition and relocation to check whether the demolition procedures are compliant; Second, please do a good job of comforting the family members of the Xicheng District Government, no matter who is right or wrong, first calm down the emotions; Third, the comrades of the public security should strictly enforce the law, handle homicide cases in accordance with the law, and not tolerate them because of mass incidents; moreover, do a good job in on-site control, and absolutely must not have mass incidents such as smashing and looting; Fourth, the comrades of the Propaganda Department are requested to receive reporters well and prepare for the press conference immediately, because this kind of thing cannot be covered, and it is necessary to be transparent, not to hide it, because the more transparent it is, the less likely it is to generate more negative news. The draft is checked by Mayor Ji, and the Foreign Propaganda Office must also read it; Fifth, the demolition and relocation work will be suspended until the approval of the municipal party committee and municipal government; Sixth, do a good job in comforting the families of the sacrificed comrades; Seventh, activate the emergency plan. ”

He added: "The activation of the emergency plan should be put in the first article, and Mayor Ji is solely responsible. However, in accordance with the principle of hierarchical responsibility, Xicheng District is responsible for the outside world, which can reserve space for the municipal government, and at the same time, the disposal situation should be reported to the provincial emergency office in a timely manner. ”

Liu Qingyuan has served as the secretary general for many years and is very experienced, and he pressed the record button when he made a phone call, so that he could fully understand Hou Weidong's meaning and would not cause mistakes in his work.

After making the call, Hou Weidong's gloomy mood was completely swept away by the chaos he was about to face. He reached out and pulled away from the car parked next to him, and stepped into it with agility.

After a while, he ordered, "Put on some music." ”

"Look at how bright the evening stars are, shining with golden light, the breeze blowing on the sea, and the rippling blue waves......"

Yan Chunping knows Hou Weidong's habits, and it will definitely not be wrong to play "Santa Lukia" at this time. Sure enough, Hou Weidong squinted in the singing.

When the car arrived in Maoyun, Hou Weidong suddenly opened his eyes and called Duan Chuanlin, the reporter of the "Political and Economic Review" in Lingxi, and briefly talked about Miao Fengshan.

Duan Chuanlin gasped and said, "Now that the demolition is so sensitive, this kind of case of two deaths will definitely shake the whole country." Hou Weidong was unusually calm, his thinking was extremely clear, and he said: "Can my brother come to Maoyun, I will give you the most authentic materials." Duan Chuanlin said: "Mayor Hou will come if he doesn't invite me, and "Political and Economic Review" does not dare to be absent from such a sensitive event. Hou Weidong said: "Come on, you can bring two more people, and there will be a press conference later, and there will be a press release." My brother went straight to my office. ”

As soon as she spoke to Duan Chuanlin on the phone, Duan Ying's phone called, she didn't say hello, and said, "I'm the leader of the reporting team, and I'm going to come over soon." ”

Hou Weidong said: "Welcome, I hope you can intervene as soon as possible and report comprehensively and truthfully." ”

Duan Ying said: "Weidong's concept is right, some leaders want to cover the lid when they encounter this kind of thing. ”

Hou Weidong said: "I can't cover it if I want to." ”

Duan Ying said: "It's not easy to be a leader. After learning about the accident, I always think of what you did in a very difficult day during the SARS period, and I hope this accident will not hurt you much. ”

Hou Weidong said: "I just came out of the funeral of the old leader, and after a few more funerals, I became open-minded and open-minded. ”

Duan Ying said: "Take care and protect yourself from being hurt." ”

Hou Weidong said: "This matter can't hurt me, and I won't let this matter hurt me easily." ”

The car returns to Maoyun to the song of "Santa Lucia". The square outside the city hall was crowded with citizens watching the excitement, and there were many slogans and banners in front of the government gate. Several rows of SWAT officers formed a human wall to block the crowd of people dressed in linen and filial piety outside the gate.

Hou Weidong's car entered the city hall along a hidden back door. He stood at the window to inspect the situation at the scene, and had a ten-minute communication with Zhu Liang, Ji Cheng, and the responsible persons of the Propaganda Department, Xicheng District, Public Security, and Land and other departments.

Then he personally made a report to the governor Wu Yuqing.

Under Hou Weidong's command, the entire city government was running like a machine running at full power.

Due to the wide range of reconstruction and demolition in the south city, there are many satisfied people and many dissatisfied people, and there are many idle people who have nothing to do in Maoyun, so there are more and more people gathered in the city hall square. In the wee hours of the morning, it finally developed into a smashing incident, and four police cars were smashed.

Ji Cheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor, did not expect that the development of the incident would far exceed his expectations, and looked at the burning police car, and his mental pressure was so great that he was about to collapse. In the small conference room, his previously neatly combed hair was messy, his face was pale, and although it was winter, there were dense beads of sweat on his forehead. He kept rubbing his hands and said, "Mayor Hou, things are getting bigger and bigger, what should I do?" Is it to report to the province and ask the provincial party committee and the provincial government to send a working group? ”

Hou Weidong glanced at Ji Cheng coldly. Ji Cheng, who was specifically responsible for the renovation of the southern city, ignored the three principles of the development of the southern city put forward by Hou Weidong, was in a hurry, took big steps, and inevitably worked roughly, so he caused today's situation. Now that I have encountered difficulties and messed up, I have made frequent faint moves.

Hou Weidong looked down on Ji Cheng from the bottom of his heart, and said lightly: "It's not yet time to ask the provincial party committee and the provincial government to send a working group, there are ten working groups in Xicheng District that are going deep into the masses, and I believe it will be effective soon." ”

Outside the gate of the municipal government, two broadcasters repeatedly broadcast Hou Weidong's brief speech, which mainly had four main contents: first, respecting the will of the people, holding dialogues with the representatives of the masses, and conscientiously resolving the reasonable demands of the masses; the second is to put people first and do a good job in the comfort and compassionate work of the two deceased; the third is to disclose the handling of the incident in a timely manner; Fourth, it is necessary to resolutely crack down on illegal and criminal acts.

As the number of police cars increased and measures were put in place, by 4 a.m., tired people were going home to sleep, and a riot that could have expanded had subsided.

Ji Cheng stood in front of the window and looked at the municipal square, holding a cigarette in his hand, trembling slightly. He has been working in provincial-level organs, and the work he does is aimed at cadres, often managing and guiding the grassroots through meetings and documents, and has never dealt with the grassroots people face-to-face. When he was the deputy mayor of Shazhou, he was supposed to experience an encounter with SARS, but he had an unexpected car accident, and although he became an advanced anti-African leader, he lost the test of accepting large-scale mass incidents. This mass incident caused by the demolition was the first time that Ji Cheng had undergone a severe test of governance.

Hou Weidong is a veteran grassroots worker, who has been repeatedly tested by mass incidents since Shangqinglin, and is nervous but not panicked in the face of this matter. He took the cigarette and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and said to Chu Liang: "Mayor Zhen, you can smoke if you want, I have made up my mind to quit smoking." ”

Chu Liang lit the flame machine, took a deep puff of cigarette, and said, "It's almost over, you go home and rest, you will be tired tomorrow." ”

Hou Weidong said to Ji Cheng, who was standing by the window: "Mayor Ji, come and meet." ”

Ji Cheng was the deputy mayor of Shazhou with Hou Weidong, and he was always unconvinced by Hou Weidong's appointment as the head of the Maoyun Municipal Government.

Hou Weidong said: "Mayor Ji can't sleep, staring here." I'm going home and getting some sleep, and I'm going to have to deal with everything tomorrow. ”

"I will follow Mayor Hou's request and implement them one by one." Ji Cheng, as the executive deputy commander of the development of Nancheng, bears a lot of responsibility for today's events, and his attitude has become very respectful.

Hou Weidong nodded, got up and prepared to leave.

Ji Cheng stood up, followed behind Hou Weidong, and said, "I want all departments to leave a person in charge." ”

Hou Weidong said: "You can arrange it." ”
