When he went out in the morning, Qi Tianxiang had a strange feeling, feeling panicked, as if something was going to happen, but he could carefully sort out the several tasks he had started recently, and he couldn't find anything wrong, but felt that everything was going smoothly, and there was no bad sign at all.

After combing all the way to the provincial government office, I didn't come up with any answers, but this feeling was even stronger. Qi Tianxiang didn't really believe in omens, hints or hints of such illusory things, and the only explanation was that he had been a little tired recently, so that it was possible to have some hallucinations.

It wasn't until Zhou Tong hurriedly walked into the office with Fang Jianjian, facing Fang Jianjian's gloomy iron-clad and serious face, that Qi Tianxiang finally understood what his panic was.

"We have just received a report from the grassroots environmental protection bureau that a large area of water pollution has occurred in Guishui County, a subsidiary of Shanyin City, and industrial wastewater from a small cyanide plant has been discharged directly into the Guishui River, which has affected the water bodies of the Qingshui River Basin, and now both the Guishui and Qingshui River systems have been polluted." There was no greeting, no transition, and there was not even a necessary handshake, Fang Jianshe walked straight to Qi Tianxiang's wide desk, and said hurriedly: "Now the specific situation is still being implemented, as soon as I get the news, I will hurry over and report to you." ”

Qi Tianxiang looked straight at Fang Jianjian, as if he couldn't believe his ears, tried his best to hold his panic, stared at him for a moment, calmed down for a while, and then slowly stood up, stretched out his hand, grasped Fang Jianjian's broad hand, pointed to the chair in front of the desk, and said peacefully: "Sit down first, sit down and say slowly, what happened to make your old buddy anxious like this." ”

Although Qi Tianxiang said this, his heart seemed to be on fire, but he tried his best to control his emotions, watched Fang Jianshe slowly sit down, walked out from behind the desk, took the water cup in Xiao Zhang's hand, gently placed it in front of Fang Jianjian, and then motioned for Zhou Tong to sit down as well. After everything was in order, he slowly walked back to the desk, sat down in his chair, looked at Fang Jianjian gently, and nodded for him to continue.

"I'll explain the situation to you in a cut and cut way, I really can't sit still." Looking at Qi Tianxiang's calm and calm expression, Fang Jianjian's tense face eased slightly, grinned, and then said: "The emergency response team formed in the hall has been led by our deputy director Liu Qingfeng to set off, after I report to you here, I will rush back, the expert team organized in the hall is waiting for me, I will immediately lead the team to rush over, according to the situation on the spot, take necessary measures to solve the problem." ”

"Wouldn't that be nice! Now that we have the means to deal with it, and we have organized people in advance, we can calm down and judge the situation! Although Qi Tianxiang was in a hurry, he could only ease the atmosphere and say slowly: "There is already a deputy director leading the team down, in order not to repeat, you can't just bring experts in environmental protection, it should be experts in water conservancy, sanitation, epidemic prevention and pollution prevention and control, etc., to solve the problem, isn't that so!" ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, his eyes looked at Zhou Tong, and he said in a hurried tone: "You immediately notify the provincial health, epidemic prevention and water conservancy units, and ask them to immediately dispatch experts from relevant fields, and gather at the Provincial Environmental Protection Department in an hour, and go to Shanyin City with the director of the housing department." ”

Seeing Zhou Tong stand up and leave in a hurry, Qi Tianxiang retracted his gaze, looked at Fang Jianjian, and asked slowly: "Has this matter been reported to Comrade Liu Xiaoping?" Does the provincial party committee already know the situation? ”

Looking at Qi Tianxiang's stable and calm tone, especially seeing that Zhou Tong went to inform people specifically according to Qi Tianxiang's request, Fang Jianshe knew that he couldn't leave for the time being, and he had to wait for Zhou Tong's specific results, and he had to wait for Qi Tianxiang's further instructions, so he sank his heart, looked at Qi Tianxiang with admiration, and replied truthfully: "On the way here just now, I have already made a telephone report to Vice Governor Liu, and he told me to report to you first, and then communicate with him about your specific instructions." I haven't reported on which side of the provincial party committee has, and I don't know where in San'in City will do it. ”

Qi Tianxiang glanced at his watch, the time was less than half past eight, so he muttered, looked at Fang Jianshe and said, "Don't care about these things for now, you can tell me what you have learned first, and then tell me in detail." ”

Fang Jianjian's black and red face turned red instantly, secretly blaming his impatience and carelessness, he has been in for so long, in addition to talking about the pollution situation in a hurry, the specific situation has not been introduced at all, as an old comrade who has worked at the grassroots level for many years, such mistakes and panic really should not appear, but now is not the time to blame himself, he looked at Qi Tianxiang's gentle eyes, and said with some guilt: "Is it because of age, or can't hold things in my heart, I am like a novice." ”

Seeing Qi Tianxiang's smiling and silent expression, Fang Jianshe felt embarrassed, in the past, he was the leader of a city and competent, but in a short period of time, he became timid and cautious, this huge change comes from the transformation of power, but also from the psychological imbalance. Sitting on the opposite side of the former opponent, not only is still calm, but also seems more calm and capable, the distance is getting bigger and bigger, from the main and deputy in the team, to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, mentality and way of doing things, have undergone tremendous changes.

In the mind of Fang Jianjian, Qi Tianxiang's understanding is constantly changing, from the initial disdain, to the later gradual admiration, and then to the current respect, every step of the change is clear. Ten years of mayor, has always missed the position of the secretary of the municipal party committee, every time the secretary is replaced, the psychology and self-confidence of housing construction, is a heavy blow, every time is helpless to accept the reality, and for Qi Tianxiang, a novice without any grassroots work experience, housing construction is very unconvinced, and even from the beginning is antagonistic. thinks that this secretary, who has never held a grassroots position, either has a strong backstage, or has something false to confuse people, and is simply a white-faced scholar who is useless.

As Qi Tianxiang slowly entered the working state, Fang Jianshe gradually discovered that this seemingly weak scholar had a broad mind and fiery feelings in his heart. What he pretended to be not a power scheme, but the improvement of people's livelihood, was worried about the social atmosphere, and worried about the guidance of public opinion, and seemed to not care about the size of the power at all, let alone know how to use it, and completely conquered the housing construction in a short period of time, which also made him understand the distance between the two, not only the opportunity, but also the difference in ability and vision.

Especially in the job arrangement of housing construction, Qi Tianxiang was very unhappy about the housing construction, and went to Lin Dongsheng, secretary of the provincial party committee, to fight for reason, although it could not change anything, but it made the housing construction moved by Qi Tianxiang's atmosphere, and also had a new understanding of Qi Tianxiang.

After arriving at the Provincial Department of Environmental Protection, the ambition of housing construction has changed greatly, there is no channel to move up, there is no motivation to forge ahead, and I also know in my heart that the transition to the Department and Bureau, the next step is the possibility of the CPPCC National People's Congress, or simply go home to relax, there are not many things that can be done, no accident is the biggest work achievement, no fault is meritorious, and for Qi Tianxiang, who has become the governor step by step, is also respectful, and even has no impulse to get close, let alone mention the experience they have worked with, I feel that the result of any comparison is sour and bitter, and the bitterness is heart-wrenching.

After a short period of thought, Fang Jianshe seemed to feel that he had seen through his mind from Qi Tianxiang's smiling eyes, so he tried his best to recover his calm mood, looked at Qi Tianxiang and said slowly: "Guishui County is located in the north of the southwest mountain system of our province, is a deep mountainous county, with many people and little land, and belongs to one of the few poor counties in our province. ”

Fang Jianshe said while thinking about it, because he was facing the governor, Qi Tianxiang also understood the situation he knew, and he might be more thorough than him, so he was as concise and illustrated as possible, "In recent years, due to the gradual weakening of the country's control over the development of mineral resources, as well as the consideration of the local government to improve people's livelihood and local fiscal revenue, the mining of mineral resources in the surrounding mountainous areas is out of control and disorder. Or make every governance a fuse that is more chaotic. Townships, private enterprises, and even individuals, illegal excavation and illegal mining have become a long-standing and difficult problem. ”

"Due to the low grade of gold ore, scattered storage, and the high cost of mining and smelting by large industrial machinery, it is difficult to play a good role, so it has given birth to mercury plate and cyanide refining methods, and the slag and refined wastewater are directly dumped or piled up on the mountain forest ground, which is repeatedly prohibited." Fang Jianshe said the key point, he seemed a little excited, and his speed of speech also sped up, looking at Qi Tianxiang and then said: "The alchemy of the soil method, as well as the stripping of graphite and lead-zinc associated ores, and the huge demand for production and use, have made a large number of cyanide processing plants appear, and most of them are hidden in the mountains and quietly produced. The state strictly controls the production, processing, transportation, and storage of dangerous biochemical products such as cyanide liquid and gasification, but there are always people who take risks in the face of interests. ”

Fang Jianshe became serious, looked at Qi Tianxiang and said seriously: "Since these small processing plants are all workshop-style production methods, there is no strict synthesis purification and pulverization technology at all, and it cannot be done, so it can only be high-precision cyanide powder from regular large chemical enterprises, diluted and liquidized, and then provided to small smelters for use." The wastewater generated in the production process of the cyanide plant is still known to be powerful in this highly toxic and dangerous chemical, either by digging a pond and storing it, or by putting it in barrels. However, due to the heavy rains in Sanyin City in recent days, the sedimentation ponds of several cyanide plants have collapsed, and one of the pools is on the slope of the bank of the Guishui River, and the wastewater is directly injected into the Guishui River. ”
