Song Nianyao had never encountered this situation, hearing that one or two thousand workers were gathered together, and the leaders of the nitrogen fertilizer plant were arrested and knelt on the glass slag, he was nervous and weak for a while, and listened to Secretary Long's instructions to her to find ways to protect the leaders of the factory, and was a little at a loss for a while, so he called Zhong Chunhua to come over and asked what to do in this situation.

Zhong Chunhua rolled his eyes and said: "Director Song, in this case, in order to ensure the safety of you and those factory leaders, you should quickly call the Public Security Bureau and ask them to dispatch police forces to the scene, on the one hand, to maintain order, and on the other hand, to protect the safety of the leaders, just in case." ”

Song Nianyao was already panicked, and she didn't have time to think about it, so she dialed the phone number of Qiu Guangrong, the director of the Public Security Bureau, and asked him to immediately mobilize some public security officers and follow her to the Luyuan Nitrogen Fertilizer Factory to deal with the workers' siege of the factory leaders.

Qiu Guangrong asked a little hesitantly: "Director Song, is this appropriate? Will it arouse greater anger among the workers and the masses?"

Song Nianyao was indeed a little scared in his heart, if there was no police to follow, he was afraid that he would not dare to go to the scene. Therefore, when she heard Director Qiu Guangrong's words, she said in an unquestionable tone: "Director Qiu, now the leaders of the nitrogen fertilizer plant are still kneeling in the glass ballast under the sun, and if they don't do it well, they may die." The county party committee asked you to send the police, not to arrest and detain people, but to maintain order on the scene and protect the personal safety of those factory leaders.

When Director Qiu Guangrong heard her hold up the sign of the county party committee, he thought that it was the intention of the standing committee of the county party committee to arrange for the police, so he said no more, and promised on the phone, "Yes, resolutely implement the decision of the county party committee!" and hung up the phone.

Half an hour later, Li Ying drove a minibus, carrying Song Nianyao, Vice Mayor Wang, who was in charge of politics and law, and some cadres from the Letters and Visits Bureau, the Civil Affairs Bureau, the County Party Committee Office, and the Government Office, followed by a long police car, to the Luyuan Nitrogen Fertilizer Plant, which is 20 kilometers away from the county seat.

In order not to exacerbate the conflict as much as possible, Qiu Guangrong was still very cautious in asking all police cars not to turn on their lights or sound their sirens, and to keep a certain distance from the minibus in front of the county party committee leader, so as not to misunderstand that the leader had brought the police to arrest people.

Therefore, when Li Ying drove the minibus around an alley surrounded by factories and dormitory buildings and entered the central playground of the nitrogen fertilizer factory, the more than a dozen police cars did not follow them in, but stopped all outside the alley. Then, Qiu Guangrong ordered a few policemen who were deliberately not wearing uniforms to get out of the car, run to keep up with the leaders in front, go to secretly observe the movements at the scene, and pay attention to protecting the safety of Director Song, Mayor Wang and others. The rest of the police officers sat in their cars and stood by.

Qiu Guangrong was as careful as a hair, considering that Director Song was a lesbian, he specially arranged for two female policemen to come and follow her: one was Lu Mei from the Criminal Police Brigade, and the other was Tong Jia, who committed suicide for Sneng Xiaotian five years ago and has now been transferred to the Public Security Brigade.

After Song Nianyao got out of the car with Vice Mayor Wang, Deputy Director Zhong Chunhua and others, several policemen in civilian clothes came over, and the squadron leader of one of the public security brigades secretly told Song Nianyao and Vice Mayor Wang: In order to avoid misunderstanding among the masses, Director Qiu deliberately parked the police car outside the alley, and only sent a few of them over to observe the situation and protect the safety of the leaders at any time.

Vice Mayor Wang glanced at the crowd on the playground, frowned, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "How is it that the older this old Qiu gets, the less bold he becomes? The Public Security Bureau is a dictatorial organ, and when it encounters such a large-scale mass incident, it should stand up confidently to maintain order and protect the personal safety of those who are being besieged. And you don't have any uniforms, so what's the deterrent behind us? How do those workers know you're a policeman?"

The squadron leader blushed and said, "Mayor Wang, I think that this kind of behavior of the workers spontaneously gathering to besiege the factory leaders must be because the workers can't bear it anymore, so they have to make this decision." Otherwise, who would want to risk being caught, punished, and retaliated against, and arrest those factory leaders and kneel on the glass ballast? Look at these banners on the edge of the playground. If it is really as written on the banner, these factory leaders really deserve it. ”

Only then did Vice Mayor Wang, Song Nianyao and others look up at the dozen or so banners on the playground, only to see that they read: "Don't ask for fish and meat, just rice and porridge!", "Fight corruption, protect factory storage, and resolutely punish pests and pests!", "Find out the corrupt criminals and recover the living allowance!" ......

More than a dozen slogans and banners enumerated all kinds of corruption and behaviors of the factory leaders.

Vice Mayor Wang said disapprerovingly: "Such banners and slogans are simply deliberately trying to deceive the people and arouse the anger of the people! Look at it, why don't you ask for fish and meat, but only rice and porridge -- isn't this slander and rumor-mongering? Where in our Tiannan Province are there still people who can't eat or drink porridge? It's really playing the piano indiscriminately!"

At this time, the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau interjected next to him: "Director Song, Mayor Wang: I see that the demands of these workers are only to punish the corruption of the factory leaders and return their living allowances, and there is nothing dissatisfied with the government. Therefore, when Director Song and Mayor Wang went to do their work, it was suggested that the two leaders should speak softly, be able to reply to the workers' requests on the spot, and try to give a clear reply, so as not to intensify the contradiction and calm down today's incident. ”

Vice Mayor Wang looked at the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau with some dissatisfaction and said: "They have now arrested people and knelt on the ballast, which is not only a corporal punishment and insult, but also an illegal detention." In my opinion, our public security organs should strike hard at such illegal acts, arrest and bring to justice the troublemakers headed by them. ”

Song Nianyao's eyes kept staring at the dense crowd on the playground in front of him, beads of sweat oozed from his small and beautiful nose, and a pair of beautiful and clear Danfeng eyes showed a little panic and fear, and he stood hesitantly outside the crowd, never daring to take the lead to go inside.

Seeing that another half an hour had passed, the crowd in the playground was getting more and more agitated. Some workers saw a large group of them getting off a minibus, and they came up vigilantly and looked them up and down with suspicion.

Song Nianyao knew that no matter how it dragged on, he, the only member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee present, must come forward to persuade and guide the workers, otherwise it would be a serious dereliction of duty.

So, she gritted her teeth and walked to the front of the crowd with Vice Mayor Wang and others.

Lu Mei and Tong Jia, two policewomen, hurriedly stuck to Song Nianyao's side one by one and followed her into the crowd.

At the front of the playground, directly below the rostrum, four middle-aged men were kneeling on top of a pile of broken glass with their heads down, and many workers surrounded them, questioning them with angry faces: "Wu Dawei, as the director of the factory, took 30 million yuan from the factory a few years ago, saying that he was going to Xingzhou City to open a compound fertilizer factory, and made a decision to take 20 million yuan to Shenzhen to speculate in stocks. What about the 50 million yuan? Where did it go? You said that the money belonged to the factory's foreign investment, and all of it was lost. Why don't you explain the details of the losses to the workers? Why don't you explain the ins and outs of the funds to everyone?"

"As decision-makers in the factory, you should know that the above is a monthly living allowance of 30 yuan for each of our employees and their families. In our neighboring soda factory, since last year, the employees have received this living allowance every month, but we have not even seen the shadow of the subsidy until now. Make it clear: Did the superiors not allocate this money, or was it swallowed by you people who have a black conscience?"

"We have so much land, so many houses and machinery in our nitrogen fertilizer plant. Not to mention anything else, fixed assets such as land and houses alone should be worth hundreds of millions, where did you invite the appraisal agency to evaluate the assets of our factory at 80 million yuan?"

The more you talk, the more angry you become. A few grumpy ones walked up and wanted to kick the kneeling people again, but they were stopped by a few older and more stable masters next to them.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and someone was shouting loudly: "Everyone let go, the county has come to the leader, let them come to the front and listen to what they have to say." ”

Song Nianyao, Vice Mayor Wang, and the top leaders of several units squeezed through the crowd and stood on a simple platform temporarily built with wooden planks under the rostrum. Several plainclothes police officers crowded around them, and one of them secretly turned on the camera on his mobile phone and began to record the scene.

Song Nianyao stood on the wooden platform, brushed the hair that was a little disheveled on his forehead, cleared his throat, and said in crisp and pleasant Mandarin: "Comrades, hello everyone! I am Song Nianyao, director of the Wushui County Party Committee Office. Entrusted by Comrade Long Shengli, secretary of the county party committee, on behalf of him, the Wushui county party committee and the county government, the county people's congress, and the county CPPCC, I came to visit you and listen to your opinions and suggestions. Secretary Long is now holding a meeting in the province, and it is estimated that in another hour, he will also come over to meet with everyone. We have also reported your request to the Mingguang Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, and the leaders of Mingguang City will also rush over as soon as possible. Now, I would like to make a request to you first: these four factory leaders who are kneeling on the ground have been kneeling for several hours, and some of them have blood flowing from their knees. In order not to have an accident, and in order to solve everyone's demands fairly and reasonably, please allow them to stand up and speak, okay?"

"Not good!"

The workers below let out an earth-shattering roar.

Song Nianyao reluctantly said what he had just said, thinking that he was humble and decent, but he didn't expect to get the roar of the workers in exchange, and he couldn't help but lose his face, standing on the platform in a daze, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
