Chapter 25: Political Consequences
didn't close his eyes all night, Hong Xianguo's eyes were as red as rabbits, and the bloodshot was terrifying. He was walking anxiously around his office, pacing and looking at his watch like an ant on a hot pan.
Yesterday's heavy rainstorm took three hours to stop, turning the county seat into a country. Although it rained heavily for more than half an hour, Hong Xianguo made an emergency decision, activated the emergency plan for flood control and drainage, and organized all the personnel of various departments directly under the county, sub-district offices, and enterprises and institutions in the county to urgently devote themselves to the work of disaster prevention and drainage under the expert leadership of the Construction Committee and the Municipal Administration Bureau. But it's been almost six hours since the torrential rain stopped, and the water in the county shows no signs of abating. If it is discharged at this rate, when will the stagnant water in the county be drained? How can we meet the inspection of Secretary Zhao of the Provincial Party Committee tomorrow afternoon?
"Secretary Hong." The matter was urgent, and He Luming, the head of the county party committee, didn't care about the usual etiquette, and went directly into the secretary's office without knocking on the door: "Long Tianfei called from there, saying that the experts' preliminary conclusion was that it would take about sixty hours to send the water in the county seat. ”
"Sixty hours? By then, the daylilies will be cold! Hong Xianguo was in a hurry, and said angrily: "Lao He, you call and tell Long Tianfei, I will go to the Construction Committee to meet those experts immediately." ”
"Secretary Hong, but the water outside ......" He Luming pointed out the window and said, "Do you want them to come to the county party committee for a meeting?" ”
"The county party committee? Does the county party committee have drawings for the drainage network? Hong Xianguo knocked on the table.
"That's good, that's good, I'll immediately notify the armed police squadron and ask them to send assault boats over." He Luming ran out in a panic.
Hong Xianguo shook his head and sighed heavily. Now, it must be reported to the Tianyang Municipal Party Committee. He looked at his watch, at this time, Secretary Tian should have arrived at the office, so he dialed the phone: "Secretary Tian, I am Xianguo, there is a situation I want to report to you immediately......"
"What?" After listening to Hong Xianguo's report, Tian Jianjian, secretary of the Tianyang Municipal Party Committee, immediately slapped the table: "It's been six or seven hours, and most of the county is still soaking in the water?" Your team of the Binan County Party Committee is too capable, right? Hong Xianguo, tell me, how long will it take for the stagnant water in the county to be drained? ”
The sweat on Hong Xianguo's neck came down with a sigh: "The experts of the Construction Committee said that it is still ...... Sixty hours more. ”
"Sixty hours?" Tian Jianshe gasped: Sixty hours, how can you wait? Tomorrow afternoon, Secretary Zhao of the provincial party committee will go to Binnan to inspect the construction of small towns. Tian Jianshe shuddered at the thought of the terrible political consequences of Secretary Zhao Sancai coming to Binan tomorrow and seeing most of the county soaking in water, and he shouted angrily on the phone, "Hong Xianguo! Listen to me, it's eight o'clock in the morning, and if the water in the county town can't be drained clean before twelve o'clock in the evening, I'll remove you."
"Yes, yes, yes...... Secretary Tian, we must hurry up, we must hurry up! Hong Xianguo wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, his mood was even worse, and he secretly cursed this thief while agreeing repeatedly.
This nest fire in his heart, what is this thing called! It was originally a long-faced thing, but now it has become a big leak, it's really better to be a human being!
Hong Xianguo also knows, in fact, he doesn't blame Tian Jianshe for getting angry, anyone who puts this matter on him will get angry. In front of Zhao Sancai, secretary of the provincial party committee, Tian Jianshe vigorously admired the construction of small towns in Binan County, and invited the secretary of the provincial party committee to inspect it. Now that the county seat of Binan is soaked in water, isn't this a big joke? If this matter is not handled well, so that Tian Jianshe has no way to deal with it in front of Secretary Zhao, then the fate of his Hong Xianguo can be imagined.
Putting down the phone, Hong Xianguo yelled outside: "Lao He, what's going on?" Why haven't the assault boats of the armed police squadron arrived? ”
"Coming soon, coming right away." He Luming, the head of the county party committee office, ran in response, he wiped the sweat from his head, "I just called, they said that the assault boat set off fifteen minutes ago, and the time should be ...... soon" He saw that Hong Xianguo's face was getting more and more gloomy, so he quickly changed his words and said: "I'll call them now!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he heard a roar outside from far and near, and He Luming's face was suddenly full of joy: "Secretary Hong, it's here, they've arrived!" ”
Looking out the window, an assault boat drew an arc on the murky water and stopped at the gate of the county party committee compound.
"Let's go, let's go immediately!" Hong Xianguo waved his hand, got up and left. He Luming was half a step behind and followed closely behind the secretary.
"Secretary Hong, you can change into rain boots first." Secretary Li Chengjiang chased after him with a pair of long rain boots.
"For what? When is it? Hong Xianguo snorted angrily, his footsteps did not stop at all, and hurriedly walked to the staircase.
Li Chengjiang touched a nail, and didn't dare to say more, put the rain boots on the corridor, ran two steps to follow, and secretly worried about Secretary Hong, the provincial party secretary was going to come down to inspect the critical juncture, but Binan County sang about the flooded Seventh Army, one is not handled well, maybe Secretary Hong has a black gauze hat on his head......
Thinking of this, Li Chengjiang couldn't help but shiver, he hurriedly stopped, didn't dare to think deeper, just quickened his pace and followed closely behind Hong Xianguo.
The county party committee compound had a thick layer of water, barely reaching the surface of the feet, and a row of red bricks meandered in the water and stretched to the entrance of the compound. A temporary waterproof wall more than one meter high was built with sandbags at the entrance. It is also the function of this waterproof wall to keep the rainwater from the street out, making the situation in the compound look less terrifying.
The sky had already cleared, there was not a single cloud, the sun shone down unobstructedly, and the turbid water on the ground shone with a dazzling white light, shaking people to open their eyes.
As soon as Hong Xianguo walked out of the corridor, he was gladly gouged out by the reflection of the water on the ground. He narrowed his eyes, but without hesitation, he stepped on the row of red bricks and walked towards the gate of the compound.
"Secretary Hong, be careful." He Luming followed behind, staring nervously at Hong Xianguo's feet, reminding him in a low voice.
Li Chengjiang stepped into the water without hesitation and followed Hong Xianguo's side, so as to help Hong Xianguo at any time.
Hong Xianguo walked to the temporary waterproof wall and stepped on the steps made of sandbags to climb the waterproof wall. Outside the waterproof wall, there is already a country of Ze, and the street is nearly a meter deep of stagnant water, on which all kinds of garbage float, the scene is shocking. Hong Xian's heart couldn't help but twitch, he didn't expect that there would be such a catastrophe in the county town of Pinan, which was far away from the river network, and it was the day before the provincial party secretary came to inspect.
