A reporter asked: "Secretary Zhang, this rainstorm is the largest in Beigang since the founding of the People's Republic of China, how is the disaster situation in Binhai?" Are there any specific figures on casualties and property damage? ”

Zhang Yang said: "Although the rainstorm is very large, but our coastal leadership team in the face of the rainstorm has shown excellent response ability, the cadres headed by the county magistrate Xu immediately went to the front line of flood fighting, commanded the war against natural disasters, and avoided the heavy rain to the greatest extent to cause greater disasters, so far, we have not reported any casualties throughout the coastal area." As for the loss of property, it is still being counted, and I believe that this disaster will not have any impact on the good economic situation of the coast. ”

Tushan found the ancient tomb in the current Beigang will not cause much repercussions, a heavy rain has made the city of Beigang appear in its original form, serious waterlogging, many places in the city are flooded, the overpass in and out of the city is all filled with water, and someone almost drowned.

At noon, the rain stopped, and it was not until 5 o'clock in the afternoon that the leaders of the city party committee returned one after another, and Xiang Cheng, secretary of the city party committee, called these standing committee members to the conference room for a meeting without taking a break. The Standing Committee members guessed from Xiang Cheng's gloomy face that Secretary Xiang was in a bad mood, and after everyone sat down, no one took the initiative to speak.

Xiang Cheng said: "Last year, the city allocated a special amount of money to renovate the drainage system in the main urban area, before the remediation, Beigang has never encountered such waterlogging, but after the remediation, there is a problem, I want to ask, where is the money spent?" Yes? Can anyone tell me? Xiang Cheng knocked on the table angrily.

Jiang Honggang, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, said: "Secretary Xiang, there are still many objective reasons for this matter, although the city allocated funds to renovate the drainage system last year, but only for dredging and maintenance, this time the rainstorm came suddenly, in less than a day, the precipitation reached 100 mm, which has never been seen in the history of Beigang since the founding of the People's Republic of China." ”

Meng Qizhi, the Minister of Organization, also spoke: "Yes, Secretary Xiang, I have never seen such a heavy rainstorm, the sky is like a splash, our Beigang is close to the sea, and the drainage system is more advanced than other cities, it is precisely because the rainfall is too large in a short period of time that our drainage system has no time to discharge all the precipitation into the sea, which caused this waterlogging." ”

Xiang Cheng said: "Every one of our comrades must be prepared for danger in times of peace, take precautions, in the face of this sudden rainstorm, not only exposed the defects of the drainage system in Beigang, but also reflected the lack of preparation and lack of means to deal with this sudden natural disaster, so it caused chaos in the city." I hope that after this incident has passed, everyone will have a deep soul-searching. ”

Jiang Honggang felt a little strange, although today's incident caused chaos in Beigang City, but did not cause casualties, in general, the loss of the city is not too big, and after the disaster, all the cadres rushed to the front line in time, in his opinion, everyone's response measures have nothing to blame, many people have been busy from last night to now, and they have not slept well, Xiang Cheng not only did not praise, but criticized everyone, This has a negative impact on the morale of the cadre team, Jiang Honggang said: "Secretary Xiang, according to the weather forecast of the meteorological station, there may be heavy to heavy rain tonight. ”

Xiang Cheng said: "Then it is even more necessary to cheer up the spirit of twelve, I don't care what method you take, I don't care how much effort everyone makes, we must ensure the safety of people's lives and property." Speaking of this, he felt a little uncomfortable, clutching his abdomen, and his face turned a little yellow.

All the Standing Committee members saw that something was wrong, and some people got up and were busy calling a doctor for Xiang Cheng.

Xiang Cheng waved his hand and said, "No, it's an old problem, a stomach ulcer, and I haven't eaten at noon." One sentence highlights the noble character of the secretary of the municipal party committee, Xiang Cheng is telling everyone that for this sudden rainstorm, he has worked hard and forgot to sleep and eat.

At this point in the meeting, it is time to conclude.

Jiang Honggang didn't leave immediately, he watched Xiang Cheng take stomach medicine, and then said, "Secretary Xiang, do you feel better?" ”

Xiang Cheng nodded and said, "It's much more comfortable, my stomach is all drinking and drinking." ”

Jiang Honggang said with deep sympathy: "The body is important, Secretary Xiang can't be busy with work all day, and he must also pay attention to exercise!" He didn't think so in his heart, Xiang Cheng still attaches great importance to health, and he has always controlled his drinking very well, which is related to his position, as the leader of Beigang, at least on the one-third of an acre of land in Beigang, no one dares to force him to drink.

Xiang Cheng took a sip of hot tea, feeling that the pain in his stomach had eased a lot, he took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Jiang Honggang judged from the details of Xiang Cheng's actions that there were indeed some problems with Xiang Cheng's health. It is said that people's physical condition is not good, which will affect the mood, Xiang Cheng's mood is obviously bad, Jiang Honggang suddenly remembered that he went to the Dongjiang River and has not returned to the mayor's palace to return to the mountain, and therefore remembered a major event that is about to happen in Beigang, the State Council has specially approved the establishment of a bonded zone in Binhai, is it really this thing that makes Xiang Cheng feel unhappy? Jiang Honggang silently guessed in his heart.

Xiang Cheng is still a little grateful for Jiang Honggang's concern, Jiang Honggang is not like others who blindly flatter themselves, among the Beigang Standing Committee, Jiang Honggang is a very special one, he never sings against Xiang Cheng, and he will not get too close to Xiang Cheng, in other words, Xiang Cheng does not know him very well, he knows that Jiang Honggang also has some background, such as his classmate relationship with Guo Ruiyang, director of the Provincial Office in Beijing, and his father-in-law used to be the former Propaganda Minister of Yun'an Province, Xiang Cheng thinks that Jiang Honggang is hiding deeply, It is difficult for this kind of person to open his heart to others, compared to Jiang Honggang, he prefers Gong Huanshan, and prefers Gong Huanshan to be his successor, this matter is no secret.

It is precisely for this reason that Xiang Cheng is even more wary of Jiang Honggang, of course he knows that Jiang Honggang is also a suitable candidate, everyone in the officialdom is ambitious, and his balance is biased towards the palace and the mountain, Jiang Honggang will naturally complain about himself because of this, and even hate himself, although he has always done a good job on the surface. Even if Xiang Cheng obviously focuses on Gong Huanshan, even if everyone is optimistic about Gong Huanshan, even Gong Huanshan himself regards himself as Xiang Cheng's successor, but Jiang Honggang's mentality is still very good, what was it like in the past, what it is still like now, he has not changed his way of dealing with the world, and he is still neither humble nor arrogant towards Xiang Cheng.

Xiang Cheng's evaluation of Jiang Honggang's performance is calm, he never believes that Jiang Honggang will take the initiative to give up, he thinks that Jiang Honggang is still working silently, he has not retired for a day, and Gong Huanshan has not officially taken over for a day, and the hope in Jiang Honggang's heart is still there.

To be fair, Gong Huanshan is not as old as Jiang Honggang in handling many things, but what Xiang Cheng needs is a person who can continue his political ideas, what he needs is not a person who is likely to deny himself as soon as he comes to power, a suitable successor who can continue the power in his hands for many years, and in today's political arena, there are not a few people who have the same idea as Xiang Cheng.

Xiang Cheng said: "Hong Gang, I'm fine, busy with your go!" ”

Jiang Honggang smiled and said, "Secretary Xiang, the canteen has already prepared a meal, and I just didn't eat it, why don't we go over and eat some together?" If you find it inconvenient, I'll have someone come back and send it to you. ”

Xiang Cheng heard him say this, of course, it was difficult to refuse, he smiled: "It's not that I can't move, let's go, go to dinner." ”

The chef in the canteen of the organ has a very clear understanding of Xiang Cheng, the secretary of the municipal party committee, who likes to eat noodles when he has a bad stomach.

Jiang Honggang also ate noodles like Xiang Cheng, and when Xiang Cheng was eating, he remembered that he had already gotten off work, and he said to Jiang Honggang: "Why don't you go home and have a look?" ”

Jiang Honggang said: "It's okay at home, this rainstorm is a severe test for Beigang, the meteorological station said that there will be heavy rain tonight, and I am not sure." ”

Xiang Cheng sighed and said: "At the meeting today, I sent a nameless fire, in fact, everyone is also very hard, I know, but when I saw this waterlogging, I still can't hold the fire in my heart, I didn't control my emotions at that time, I'm sorry everyone." ”

Jiang Honggang said: "Secretary Xiang, Beigang is flooded like this, as a secretary, it is inevitable that you will be anxious, which does not reflect that you put the suffering of the people in your heart." Jiang Honggang flattered Xiang Cheng just right.

Xiang Cheng's mood was not good because of his flattery, after eating a few bites of noodles, he felt that he was so worried that he couldn't eat anymore, he took out the paper towel on the table and wiped his mouth and said: "I may be a little harsh to everyone this time, Hong Gang, you inform everyone, except for the staff on duty, go back, just keep the communication tools unblocked, I don't think this God will be so cruel to our Beigang......" Before he finished speaking, a lightning bolt flashed outside the window, and then several thunderbolts sounded.

Xiang Cheng's face was very solemn, he stood up and walked slowly to the window, pushed open the window, it was very stuffy and windless outside, which made Xiang Cheng feel a little depressed.

Jiang Honggang came to his side and looked out the window, in fact, they were all worried that it would rain again, and now Beigang could no longer withstand another rainstorm. Jiang Honggang said: "Secretary Xiang, you go home and rest, I will stay here tonight." ”

Xiang Cheng glanced at Jiang Honggang, and he nodded a little tiredly: "Hong Gang, I'll leave it to you here, I really can't hold it today, I'm old!" ”
