Chapter 1345: Lantern Festival

There is a lantern festival in Hangzhou every year, but most of the time it is held in Wushan Square or Wulin Square, and the lantern festival by the West Lake has been held in previous years, but because there are too many tourists on the lakeside, the government department is afraid of accidents, so it does not last.

This year, it was Nie Dan's proposal to hold the Lantern Festival lantern festival at the same time by the West Lake and Wushan Square.

As the highest party and government official in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, Nie Dan's proposal naturally no one would object, so the lantern festival went smoothly.

"The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, blows down, and the stars are like rain," the lake and mountains and the lantern festival are in full swing, in Nie Dan's words, it will add a beautiful scenery to the paradise of Hangzhou.

The beauty of the West Lake during the Lantern Festival will be the news that the media is keen to report, and some people and inkmen are vying to praise the elegant topic.

However, unlike Nie Dan's relaxed mentality and many expectations, the officials who are specifically responsible are like facing a great enemy and dare not slack off. They are most afraid of problems, and now harmony and stability are the first elements, and if there is a mass incident under their rule, then they are directly responsible.

For this reason, the officials in charge did not dare to be careless, and the streets near the lantern festival site were also strictly controlled by traffic, and the security force was greatly strengthened. The front-line police all canceled their weekend vacations, the provincial armed police corps and the municipal armed police detachment dispatched a large number of forces, and the provincial, municipal and district anti-riot special police were also on duty near the lantern festival site.

Liaison patrol groups organized by police, weapons, and military personnel appeared in and around the lantern festival site in large numbers.

The people in the community gave very enthusiastic support to the large-scale lantern festival held by the West Lake and Wushan Square.

In various forums and WeChat and QQ groups, the news and safety precautions of the Lantern Festival were forwarded early, and more than 95% of the people commented on the affirmation and support for holding such large-scale amusement activities, and many young people expressed their fanatical support for the Lantern Festival.

The lantern festival starts on the day of the Lantern Festival, and the official opening time is 6 o'clock in the evening of the Lantern Festival.

However, from the afternoon of the Lantern Festival, the number of tourists by the West Lake began to increase significantly.

During the Lantern Festival, the primary school has not officially opened, and most of the university students have returned to school, and there are many tourists from other places on weekends. Many foreign tourists come here specifically and want to visit the lantern festival by the West Lake on the day of the Lantern Festival.

When night falls, there is already a tide of people by the West Lake, and even the Su Causeway, Bai Causeway, and Baobao Mountain, which have no lantern displays, are all black and oppressive. According to official estimates, the number of tourists by the West Lake will definitely break the record high.

Fortunately, the organizing committee made careful arrangements in advance, mobilized a large number of police forces, and temporarily transferred a lot of police forces from neighboring counties and cities to participate in maintaining order.

At around five o'clock, when Cao Yue, Butterfly, Ding Lan, and Zheng Han accompanied Nie Dan to the lakeside on foot, they saw the crowded scene and were a little frightened. No one expected that there would be so many people.

Originally, Nie Dan was going to arrive at the scene by car, but after thinking about it again, he decided to walk over with Cao Yue.

Although traffic control is implemented near the lakeside, the cars of the leaders participating in the opening ceremony can still enter.

Except for Nie Dan, the other officials who attended the opening ceremony all arrived here by car.

When the organizing committee officials contacted Butterfly, who was in charge of Nie Dan's personal affairs, and learned that Nie Dan walked over, they couldn't help but be ashamed.

However, when Nie Dan and his entourage arrived at the opening ceremony, they encountered a little trouble.

When the armed police and police on duty were conducting routine inspections, they were startled when they found the weapons of Cao Yue, Ding Lan, and Butterfly, and many policemen with guns surrounded them, and they did not disperse until Butterfly showed his documents.

In order to avoid trouble, when they went out today, Cao Yue, Ding Lan, Butterfly and other accompanying security personnel all brought weapons.

The security check at the opening ceremony was very strict, and Cao Yue had the idea of testing the level of security at the site, so he escorted Nie Dan as an ordinary person at the beginning. The on-site security personnel's awareness of prevention is still quite strong, and Cao Yue is quite satisfied.

Nie Dan was also satisfied that the staff on duty were loyal to their duties, indicating that there were no major loopholes in the security problem.

Nie Dan, who was dressed in a professional suit and wore big sunglasses on his face, was accompanied by Cao Yue, Ding Lan, Butterfly, Zheng Han and others, and when he appeared in front of other officials, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Nie Dan, the highest official attending the opening ceremony, walked over, not wanting to add more traffic pressure to the scene, in addition to embarrassing other officials, it also made them feel a little slight. There are too many people, if Nie Dan is a little surprised, then many people will be unlucky.

The most nervous was the director of the city bureau in charge of on-site security, after he knew that Nie Dan and his entourage had been stopped and almost clashed, he ran over in a hurry and angrily, and reprimanded the person in charge in public. However, it was only after Wu Yongming, the head of the provincial department in charge of all security affairs, went over and praised the security personnel who were loyal to their duties, and the matter completely subsided.

Originally, Wu Yongming was also worried about Nie Dan's security issues, but after knowing that Cao Yue and several other people from Hidden Dragon were in charge of her security issues, he was not worried at all. Cao Yue is responsible for Nie Dan's security issues, and it is more secure to protect it with other forces.

What's more, if Nie Dan's safety goes wrong, they will be less responsible.

When Nie Dan went over to greet other officials, Cao Yue walked to the side, next to Wu Yongming, who was dressed in civilian clothes, and greeted him very casually.

Because of his outstanding performance in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, Wu Yongming's position is about to change, but the specific job change has not yet come out, and it will not be announced until the end of the two sessions after the year.

For Wu Yongming, the period after the New Year is very critical, and what he is most afraid of is that something will happen.

Moreover, he also needs to get along with people who can help him, especially the Cao family.

"Before, I was worried about Governor Nie's safety, but now it seems that I don't have to worry about it at all," Wu Yongming patted Cao Yue on the shoulder to show intimacy, and said with a smile: "When this lantern festival is over, I will invite you to drink, the two of us haven't talked together for a long time." ”

"No problem," Cao Yuema agreed.

However, he didn't tell Wu Yongming that after the opening ceremony was over, he would still accompany Nie Dan to walk around.

The less people know about this matter, the better.

The opening ceremony was held at the specified time, and the provincial and municipal television stations broadcast it live.

When Nie Dan announced the official opening of the Lantern Festival, the lanterns that had not been lit were instantly popular all over the West Lake.

The lights were turned on in an instant, attracting earth-shattering cheers from the visitors.

Originally, the officials of the organizing committee also planned to arrange for the leaders who participated in the opening ceremony to go around the lantern festival, but Nie Dan refused.

She wants to go around with her son, as an ordinary person.

But no one expected that Nie Dan, accompanied by Cao Yue and others, would actually have an accident when he was playing at the Lantern Festival.
