After breakfast, Qi Tianxiang shook hands with the boss warmly, praised his food, and left the small restaurant with the boss's thankful farewell.

Xiao Zhang's nervous expression was rare in these years, Qi Tianxiang's heart immediately sank, realizing that something was going to happen, his eyes motioned for Xiao Zhang to go to a secluded place, stood down and looked at Xiao Zhang, waiting for him to speak.

Xiao Zhang seemed to have walked all the way from the hotel compound, although he had already stood down, he was still a little out of breath, looked at Qi Tianxiang's inquiring eyes, and said in a low voice and eagerly: "Secretary Lin's secretary Xiao ** just called me, the Shengli Coal Mine in Yishan County, Huayi City, there was a coal mine collapse accident, and they just got a report. It was the time of commuting and handover, and the miners of both shifts were trapped underground, and it is estimated that the casualties will not be less. Xiao Liu asked me to report to you in advance, and Secretary Lin will call you in ten minutes. ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at Xiao Zhang with some unimaginability, and before he could think about it, he said briefly: "You go back immediately and inform Secretary General Zhou Tong, as well as Secretary Hao, Mayor Wang Jinlong, and the comrades in the county, all work will be temporarily suspended for a while, and I will understand the situation later." ”

Watching Xiao Zhang turn around and leave quickly, Qi Tianxiang walked back to Xu Fang, and said to Xu Fang as calmly as possible: "You go back to the hotel with Lao Liu first, there are some things on my side that need to be dealt with first, and I will inform you of the specific situation later." ”

After Qi Tianxiang finished speaking to Xu Fang, he explained a few more words to Liu Tangzi, and under the concerned gaze of the two, he turned around and walked quickly towards the hotel.

As soon as he stepped into the lobby of the hotel, he saw Zhou Tong and Xiao Zhang walking over quickly, and Zhou Tong had an anxious look on his face. Qi Tianxiang approached the two of them, raised his hand to stop what Zhou Tong wanted to say, and said with a stern expression: "Don't say it first, Xiao Zhang has already told me the general situation, let's find a quiet room first, and I'll talk to Secretary Lin on the phone first to see what Secretary Lin has arranged." Now you should hurry up and inform Deputy Secretary-General Wang Feng and ask him to come over immediately to accompany Vice Governor Xu to continue the investigation. ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, and under the guidance of Zhou Tong, he walked into a conference room directly opposite the hotel hall, watching Zhou Tong and Xiao Zhang turn around and close the door and retreat, Qi Tianxiang took out the mobile phone in his pocket without thinking much about it, and prepared to call Secretary Lin.

Before he could dial Lin Dongsheng's phone, the mobile phone rang urgently, Qi Tianxiang saw that the caller ID was Zhang Wanfu's number, and the sense of foreboding was even stronger, and he felt that his heart was as if he was being held tightly by a hand, but he couldn't think about it anymore and picked up the phone.

Zhang Wanfu also seemed to be in shock, his words were urgent, although he tried his best to restrain himself, he still conveyed a sense of uneasiness and anxiety, "Governor Qi, I am Zhang Wanfu, and I have an emergency to report to you. ”

"Comrade Wanfu, don't panic first, I already know a little about the situation, I'm waiting for Secretary Lin's call now, and then we'll talk by phone." Qi Tianxiang controlled his emotions, tried his best to calm his tone, and quickly said to Zhang Wanfu: "You immediately start emergency preparations, and immediately set off to Yishan County, the sooner the better, the first time is to launch a rescue, and we will exchange opinions on other matters later." ”

Before Qi Tianxiang finished speaking, he felt that there was a call reminder sound on his mobile phone, so he hung up Zhang Wanfu's phone, and answered the call without looking at it.

"I just finished breakfast, and it sounds like I'm still in a relatively stable mood, so it's good." Lin Dongsheng's calm voice was like a tranquilizer, which immediately made Qi Tianxiang's heart no longer so flustered, and after a simple transition, Lin Dongsheng entered the topic, "I also just heard the report, I believe you also just heard that such a news came early in the morning, and there is really no emotion." ”

Qi Tianxiang soothed his breath, calmly replied to Lin Dongsheng's words, and said cautiously and low-key: "Xiao Zhang conveyed the news of Secretary Liu, and Secretary-General Zhou Tong also got the news, just now Governor Wanfu called, and he received your call before he finished speaking, so he hung up his phone first." ”

"It seems that your agricultural investigation and research is about to end, and the matter of human life is still bigger than the stomach." Lin Dongsheng said slowly: "Comrade Wanfu's news was also obtained from me, and the normal system of reporting major situations has not worked here, and the system of reporting to the next level has not played a role in this matter. You, the provincial governor, the vice governor in charge of security of Wanfu, did not get the news at the first time, but I, the secretary of the provincial party committee, heard the report, which is not normal! ”

Lin Dongsheng's tone was a little stern, and the unhappiness in his heart was also transmitted through his words, "After I asked Xiao Liu to report the situation to him, I also asked him to rush to the scene immediately to participate in the rescue organization and emergency response." You take care of the matter over there, and hurry over there as soon as possible! ”

"I know, here in Ping'an County, I have asked Zhou Tong to arrange for another deputy secretary general to come over at home, and continue the following investigation with Comrade Xu Fang, and I will rush over as soon as possible." Qi Tianxiang slowly told Lin Dongsheng what he thought in his heart, and then added: "Comrade Wanfu, I also asked him to rush over as soon as possible, the sooner the rescue work is carried out, the better, he can better lead this matter by rushing over first." ”

"The two of us have the same idea, rescue and aftermath are the first, and other things such as accountability and accident analysis can be put aside first and left to the experts to do." Lin Dongsheng's words were unusually calm, and he said in a serious tone: "In the past, you were in charge of the rescue work in an all-round way, first make full use of the golden rescue time, and go all out to save the lives of miners, reduce the impact of the disaster, and restore normal order as soon as possible. ”

Qi Tianxiang listened carefully to Lin Dongsheng's explanation, quickly judging Lin Dongsheng's attitude and tone in his mind, and thinking about the words to deal with.

Before Qi Tianxiang could come up with a reply, Lin Dongsheng's words came over again, and his tone was surprisingly calm, and he said slowly: "Don't you think it's a little strange, what kind of medicine is sold in this old forest gourd, neither mentioning accountability, nor accident investigation, only saving people and stability, what is the intention?" ”

Seeing that Qi Tianxiang didn't answer, Lin Dongsheng continued: "You are now the governor, a person who controls the overall situation, not an expert in safety supervision and coal supervision, it is more beneficial to stabilize the situation and clarify the responsibility, which is more in line with the actual situation, it seems that I don't need to remind you, and for such a big accident, someone from the State Work Safety Supervision Bureau will come over soon, this is my intention to make you stable." ”

Wake up the person in the dream with a word, Qi Tianxiang immediately realized, and couldn't help but deeply admire Lin Dongsheng's old age, and always and everywhere for his consideration of the situation of the new governor, he didn't think much about it, and said gratefully: "Or you think about the problem more well, according to my temper, you have to deal with a group of people first, and then talk about other things." The provincial work safety conference has just been held, and such a major safety production accident has occurred in just a few days, and if responsibility is not strictly investigated, all systems are empty talk and meaningless. ”

"What to do can be disposed of at any time on the spot, the decision is up to you, and you should also make an example and establish rules, but the priorities and order must be flexibly controlled." Lin Dongsheng's tone became serious, but the tendency was still very obvious, and he still seemed to be uneasy and said: "You are going to the scene to command, you must understand your position, you can't be impulsive, and you can't blame yourself too much for everything." You must know that when the phone calls me and where you call, people have carefully weighed and judged, and there are many problems, which need to be sorted out step by step and solved step by step. ”

"I understand that I must control my emotions, pay attention to my own safety, judge the situation and act decisively, and strive to minimize the loss and harm." Qi Tianxiang slowly pondered his words and said cautiously: "If there is any situation, I will report to you at any time, and I still need to get your guidance and tips if necessary!" ”

Hearing the slightly relaxed tone in Qi Tianxiang's words, Lin Dongsheng seemed to be relieved, and said slowly: "I'm relieved if you think like this, go over and stabilize the situation first." Everything will wait until the rescue work is over. Human life is like the sky, not just talking, but talking about actual rescue. In addition, Tong Anshan of the State Administration of Work Safety just mentioned, this little old man is dedicated, professional, and upright, and does not rub sand in his eyes, which is a more difficult character to deal with. ”

Qi Tianxiang finally understood Lin Dongsheng's intentions, and the intention of using strength to fight still hoped that he would not become the target of public criticism, and he could use the opinions or deployment of the State Administration of Work Safety to deal with some complex contradictions or problems logically.

Seeing that Qi Tianxiang didn't answer immediately, Lin Dongsheng continued: "Everything is handled flexibly according to your situation on the spot, don't say anything else, just communicate at any time if there is any situation." ”

Hearing Lin Dongsheng say this, Qi Tianxiang hurriedly responded: "Okay, I'll arrange to leave, and report to you at any time if there is any situation." ”

Qi Tianxiang said, and when he heard Lin Dongsheng hang up the phone, he slowly closed the phone. Quickly combing through his chaotic thoughts, from just getting the news to now, it seems that he has gone through a long process, first shocked, then nervous, then confused, and then relieved, mixed with panic, anger, speculation, gratitude and other emotions, as if it is a drama with a complete plot, he is both a participant and a bystander, until Lin Dongsheng's phone call, he really pushed himself to the forefront.

After a short period of adjustment, Qi Tianxiang felt that he was ready, so he slowly walked to the door of the conference room and opened the door.
