As soon as Xia Xiang landed at Jinyang Airport, he got on the special car that Ma Yu, secretary general of the provincial government, came to pick up the plane. As soon as he got in the car, Ma Yu reported to him in detail the course of the mining disaster.

The mine crash occurred in the morning.

Xia Lai, the vice president in charge of safety production of Anda Mining, received a report early in the morning that a group of fired workers had gone down the mine to dig coal without permission - after the reorganization, Anda Mining did remove some workers in order to clean up the worker team and improve production efficiency - he was angry at the time and immediately got up to stop it.

As one of the few middle-level promotions after the reorganization of Anda Mining, Xia Lai is very loyal to Oh Chen, not only because Oh Chen promoted him as soon as he took office, but also because Oh Chen's skills are clever and he has a good hand at winning people's hearts, which makes him admire Oh Chen very much.

Xia Lai also knows that Anda Mining still has many of Jiang Gang's henchmen, and it is impossible to completely eliminate them in a short period of time, and it is not uncommon for workers to dig coal without permission, and it must be with the support of middle-level leaders with ulterior motives that it can be successfully implemented. On the way, he also thought that he must take this opportunity to carry out a thorough purge on Anda Mining to completely wipe out Jiang Gang's remaining forces.

Rushing to the idle mine to take a look, Charley was shocked - not by the number of people who had gone down the mine, but by the tragedy of the accident!

That's right, when Charley arrived, the mining accident had already happened.

Smoke was rising from the idle mine, and the strong smell of gas was so pungent that anyone could tell at a glance that there had been a mining accident, and it was the most serious gas explosion. That is to say, most of the people in the underground are already more auspicious.

How could it be...... Xia Lai almost fainted to the ground, most afraid of the workers going down the mine without permission, and going down the mine without permission is the most likely to have an accident, I didn't expect to be afraid of anything, the first time after the reorganization of Anda Mining Co., Ltd. had a major safety accident in private, and he was the vice president in charge of safety production.

Xia Lai was anxious, and reached out to grab a worker who was already scared: "How many people are down there?" ”

"No, I don't know." The workers came to see the excitement when they heard the explosion, and were stunned by Charley's distorted expression, and stammered, "I just came, and I heard that about 100 people went down the well." ”

"What? More than 100 people? Xia Lai's brain was buzzing, the accident of more than 100 people was a major safety accident, but then I thought about it, no, there are at most twenty or thirty workers fired after the reorganization of Anda Mining, where will there be more than 100 people? What the hell is going on?

Charlai's head was big, and before he could ask again, he felt that the mountains were shaking for a while, and there was another violent gas explosion in the well!

The explosion was so powerful that the cracks in the ground were cracked under his feet, and Charlais was so frightened that his face was pale, and he couldn't stand steadily, and he sat down on the ground.

After waking up, he knew even more that it was over, it was all over, and there should be no chance of survival for the people in the well. The major safety accident of more than 100 lives is definitely a fatal blow to the restructured Anda Mining!

……

Xia Xiang's brows furrowed even tighter, the accident was more serious than he imagined, after the two explosions, the corpses under the well were not only unrecognizable, but also could be shattered, let alone distinguish who was who, I am afraid that even a complete corpse could not be found.

Ruthless, ruthless enough.

Although he had expected the event, Xia Xiang was still angry in his heart. It is true that he could not stop Jiang Gang in advance, but he hoped that he could do his best to minimize the impact of the incident and reduce the losses. He is the governor of the province, but he is not omnipotent, and he cannot intervene in everything, and even when he learned in advance that Jiang Gang might cause a mining accident to discredit him, he could only secretly arrange, but could not stop it in advance.

Whether it is the governor or the secretary of the provincial party committee, there are also some things that are not enough.

Jiang Gang played big, among the more than 100 lives, it is believed that the dead accounted for the majority, but no living people went down the well to ignite the gas, how could there be two explosions in succession? Someone must have lost their lives by Jiang Gang.

As early as when Chen reported to Xia Xiang that there was a deviation in the matter, Xia Xiang deliberately closed the net in advance, wanting to startle the snake, but then he thought about it deeply, and knew that since Jiang Gang had carefully prepared a big play, he would definitely not give up easily, and if the grass startled the snake received the opposite effect, it would be troublesome. As a coal boss who has seen a lot of mining disasters, especially Jiang Gang is desperate now, forcing him to be anxious, and using living people to create mining disasters is an unbearable burden in Xia Xiang's life.

At that time, the deviation mentioned by Oh Chen refers to Lei Xiaoming's incident.

Oh, Chen had a new idea at that time, and wanted to use Lei Xiaoming's attempt to rape Chen Yanqiang to negotiate conditions with Lei Zhixue, and then let Lei Zhixue hint at Wang Xiangqian, and Wang Xiangqian came forward to persuade Jiang Gang to stop.

Xia Xiang did not agree.

First, it is too cumbersome, from Lei to Wang Qianqian, there are a few detours in the middle, and the strength will be greatly reduced, and what Lei Xiaoming did to Chen Yan can't be on the table after all, so he will threaten a provincial party committee secretary to write it, and it will be self-defeating if it is not good, Lei Zhixue is furious, but he will promote the reverse development of the matter, and maybe it will make Chen Yan ruined and have no place in the western province.

The secretary of the provincial party committee wants to clean up a businesswoman, and there are many ways!

But later, Oh Chen once again suggested that Li Jian use Lei Xiaoming to pull Wang Qianqian into the water, with Wang Xiangqian's admiration for Chen Yan, Lei Xiaoming wanted to rape Chen Yan, which was definitely a shame that Wang Xiangqian could not tolerate.

Xia Xiang acquiesced.

After that, things went fairly smoothly, although Wang Xiangqian did not answer unambiguously Oh Chen—it would be right if he didn't reply, and with Wang Xiangqian's level, it was impossible to answer one thing clearly—but he was obviously moved.

Basically, it can be said that except for Jiang Gang's ruthless attack and blowing the people in the well to pieces, other things are going quite smoothly.

"Excuse me, Governor." Ma Yu, who was in the same car with Xia Xiang, was a little nervous, it was said that with his level and the nature of his work to accompany the governor every day, it would be a joke to be nervous in front of the governor, but it was true that his heart was beating faster and he didn't dare to look directly into Xia Xiang's eyes.

It's not that Xia Xiang's eyes are full of anger—on the contrary, Xia Xiang's angry expression just now is much calmer—but after hearing the rumors about Xia Xiang's presence in Jingyin City, Ma Yu felt more and more that the young governor in front of him was unfathomable, and he had more meaningful speculations about Governor Xia's future growth path.

Xia Xiang was silent for a moment: "After I go back, I will hold a press conference first." ”

"Huh?" Ma Yu opened his mouth wide in surprise, he couldn't believe his ears, there was a major safety incident, the first thing to do was to cover the lid, the tighter the cover, the better, I really couldn't cover it before I half-covered it and half-exposed it to the public, and it would greatly discount the real appearance, Governor Xia did not cover the lid but took the initiative to announce it to the public, did he want to make things bigger?

Could it be ...... Ma Yu shouldn't think about it anymore.

"Governor, do you want to think again?" Ma Yu cautiously persuaded.

"No need, you immediately notify the main media in the western province and the reporters of the major media in the central government in the western province, and release major news at the information office of the provincial government government on time at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, please be sure to be there." Xia Xiang's tone was unquestionable, and he was obviously determined.

Ma Yu didn't say anything more, and immediately called out a telegram to arrange a press conference.

As soon as he arrived at the provincial party committee, Xia Xiang met with Lei Zhixue non-stop and reported to Lei Zhixue about the arrangements for holding a press conference, and Lei Zhixue was also surprised: "Is it better to think about it again and hold a press conference?" ”

"The more things are covered, the more it seems that the provincial party committee and the provincial government have not had the courage and determination to solve the difficulties in the mining industry, and the first time to announce it to the outside world can show the new work style of the provincial party committee and the provincial government to bravely face the difficulties in the mining industry."

Xia Xiang's words moved Lei Zhixue, or rather, Lei Zhixue was also very much looking forward to how Xia Xiang would deal with the difficult matters of the mine, so he said: "Let's hold it in the name of the provincial government." ”

Xia Xiang nodded slightly, turned around and left Lei Zhixue's office, just based on Lei Zhixue's last sentence, he could speculate in his heart that even if there was no Lei Zhixue's promotion behind it, Lei Zhixue knew something about it. The implication of convening in the name of the provincial government is obvious, in case the matter cannot be contained, sorry, the provincial government will bear all the consequences.

To tell the truth, Xia Xiang had decided to take down all the problems of the provincial government.

The press conference was held as planned, and the meeting room was full, and they all heard that today was the first time that the youngest provincial governor had personally come forward to hold a news conference, and that something amazing and important must have happened, so all the reporters immediately put down their work and rushed to the meeting.

Xia Xiang's appeal was really amazing, the number of reporters attending the meeting was far beyond imagination, and even a few foreign media were moved by the news and offered to participate in the press conference, but they were not on the invitation list and were turned away.

When he was arguing, Tang Tianyun happened to be passing by, and just after thinking about it, Tang Tianyun let two foreign reporters in, and he knew the deep intention of Governor Xia to hold a press conference, and it was an unexpected gain that foreign reporters participated.

At the right time, Xia Xiang appeared on stage, very punctual, with an error of no more than 10 seconds. As soon as Xia Xiang appeared, countless reporters rushed to take pictures.

Xia Xiang waved his hand: "Don't take photos yet, today's press conference is not a good thing......"

One sentence whetted everyone's appetite, and most of the reporters really put down their cameras and waited for Xia to explain further.

Xia Xiang took a deep breath: "First of all, I thank all the reporters for coming to the press conference, secondly, I hope that the journalists will abide by the norms of journalism ethics and truthfully report the news released today, and finally, I will hold a press conference to inform you at any time of the follow-up of relevant matters, and I will invite you to attend again." Of course, if your report is inaccurate, the next time you find yourself not on the invitation list, please reflect on what you didn't do right. ”

Xia Xiang's words were very serious, but his tone was not harsh, and his straightforwardness won the favor of many people present.

"As we all know, Western Province is a province with large resources, but at the same time, it is also a province with frequent mining difficulties. Today I would like to inform you of a bad news, just three hours ago, a major safety incident occurred in Anda Mining in Jinyang, and the preliminary investigation results showed that more than 100 people were unfortunately killed! ”
