Dazed, I don't know when I fell asleep, at six o'clock in the morning, Qi Tianxiang was woken up by the phone ringing, glanced at the watch on the bedside table, Qi Tianxiang picked up the phone, and his consciousness gradually became sober.

The call was from Xiao Zhang, who softly apologized, and seemed to disturb Qi Tianxiang's rest. Years of habit made Xiao Zhang clear that this time was not the time when Qi Tianxiang should get up, and it was not appropriate to wake him up on the phone.

Qi Tianxiang replied to express his understanding, calling at this time, if there was no emergency, Xiao Zhang would never make such a mistake. Although Qi Tianxiang has never blamed Xiao Zhang for these things, as a secretary for many years, this rule is still very clear. As a secretary, Xiao Zhang is still very difficult, neither can he not report the situation, nor can he interfere too much with Qi Tianxiang's daily routine, even if it is this call, it may be after a period of waiting before he mustered up the courage to call.

Sure enough, at nearly six o'clock in the morning, the rescuers on duty on the mountain came back with news, and they contacted the underground and got a preliminary understanding of the situation of the trapped miners.

Qi Tianxiang didn't wait for Xiao Zhang to finish speaking, so he interrupted him and said decisively: "Inform Xiao Wang to prepare the car, and let's leave for the scene in ten minutes." ”

Hung up the phone, Qi Tianxiang hurriedly dressed and got up, walked into the bathroom quickly to wash, and in less than ten minutes, he finished all the things he had to do in the morning, opened the door, let Xiao Zhang, who was waiting outside the door, come in, and asked eagerly: "Who told you the news, does Governor Zhang know?" ”

"It was Governor Zhang who told me that he was resting at the scene last night, and after getting the news early in the morning, he called and asked me to tell you." Xiao Zhang simply packed Qi Tianxiang's briefcase, followed Qi Tianxiang out of the door, and said as he walked: "As soon as the day dawned, the rescuers on duty on the mountain began to work. ”

Xiao Zhang introduced the situation, but it did not affect the operation of the elevator at all, and asked Qi Tianxiang to walk in first with his hand guarding the elevator door. When the elevator successfully reached the ground floor hall, Qi Tianxiang finally knew everything about the matter. I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, with such a good result, it can be said that the rescue work has made substantial progress, and it is about to enter the most difficult rescue and aftermath stage.

When I walked to the hall, I saw Zhou Tong, Liang Zhixin, Zhu Shouming and others coming up, it is estimated that they have just received the news, and they are waiting for Qi Tianxiang's arrival, and then proceed to the next step.

"Secretary-General Zhou, don't go over yet!" Qi Tianxiang met Zhou Tong's gaze and said briefly: "You wait a minute, wait for Director Tong to get up, report the latest situation to him, and then go over after he finishes breakfast, I will go to the scene to see the situation first, and then we will contact him if there is any situation." ”

Seeing Zhou Tong nodding in response, Qi Tianxiang turned his gaze to Liang Zhixin's face again, and said slowly: "Secretary Liang and I will go to the scene together, and Zhu Shouming and the others will be busy with their own things according to the division of labor!" ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, glanced at Zhou Tong, walked out of the hotel hall, boarded the minibus that had been waiting for a long time, and drove quickly to the scene.

"The situation on the other side is that the miners who are trapped in the face of the palm are in good condition, their emotions are still stable, and they are patiently waiting for rescue." Xiao Zhang waited for the minibus to run smoothly before continuing to relay the message from Zhang Wanfu to Qi Tianxiang, and said calmly: "The personnel on the face of the car are orderly channeled to the nearest few vents, so that the living environment will be better and they can last longer." ”

Qi Tianxiang patiently listened to Xiao Zhang's relay, nodded slightly, and looked peaceful, but his heart became more and more anxious. The safety of the people trapped in the face of the palm is expected, and after hearing the report after arriving at the scene yesterday, I have such a judgment, especially after listening to Wang Jinhu's accident analysis, I have strengthened this judgment. But this side is safe, which means that the danger of the personnel who go up the shaft with the mine truck is likely to be buried in the collapse area, and the situation is even more precarious.

"Well, now that more than half of the personnel are in stable condition, it's really a blessing in misfortune." Liang Zhixin looked happy and sighed with relief: "More than 100 families have a backbone and hope. ”

"Is this something to be thankful for? Half of the trapped people have news, but half of them are uncertain, so it will cause greater anxiety and pain, how to explain it? How to appease? Qi Tianxiang looked at Liang Zhixin until the ground, his voice was not high but full of unhappiness and sternness, in front of so many subordinates in the car, Qi Tianxiang forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said lightly: "Let's think more about the following things, think more about the emotions of the family, and think more about the miners and masters who are in danger!" ”

Although Qi Tianxiang's words were subtle, when Liang Zhixin heard them, he was like whips on his face, and he suddenly felt a hot fever, and his heart was full of remorse and uneasiness, and he glanced at Qi Tianxiang with a sneaky glance, but Qi Tianxiang twisted his face out of the window.

couldn't see Qi Tianxiang's expression clearly, but Liang Zhixin could clearly guess that it must be dissatisfaction, unhappiness, and even disdain, and maybe deep contempt, his ability, and the suspicion and hostility hidden in his words.

Maybe he was too excited, Liang Zhixin's first reaction after getting the news was to be relieved, and he took a long breath, half of the heaviness that had been pressed on his heart for a day was removed, how could he not be ecstatic, and it would not be surprising that he blurted out.

The only unforgivable thing is that these words in my heart are said by myself, in fact, including Qi Tianxiang, everyone's face shows their hearts, it is all the excitement of relief and sighing in one, but everyone endures it and does not express it.

More than 300 people were trapped, and this number alone was enough to shock the nerves of the higher-ups, although they were plain and calm on the surface, their thoughts in private were indescribable. Especially Qi Tianxiang's psychological pressure, it is not a sentence or two at all, but it is clear that the new governor has encountered such a major accident, no matter how he explains it, it is difficult to change the cold reality.

It is still a conservative estimate that the number of casualties can be halved now, and even if it is, it can be compensated for through rescue work and aftermath work, at least it can be achieved with a better outcome. But Qi Tianxiang disguised it very well, and did not show any excitement and joy, but he lacked concentration and took the lead in revealing it, and as a result, he became Qi Tianxiang's target.
