Before the dinner began, Hua Nianping found a bathroom in the hotel and tidied up his image a little.

But he couldn't shave all the stubble on his face now, and he didn't bother to clean the mud on his trouser legs, and as long as he raised his arm lightly during the meal, the fine pieces of duck feathers in the down jacket would fly out of the torn gaps in his clothes on his chest and back of his neck, and some of them even danced over the table for a while, and then fell into the dishes, which made him embarrassed and humiliated in public.

The meal finally ended.

Secretary-General Hao said that because he had just received the notice of Commissioner Hua's appointment, and the apartment arranged for him was still being sorted out, Hua Nianping was wronged that he had to live in the guest house for a while before he could move there.

Qiu Mingqing, the head of the discipline inspection team, blamed Secretary General Hao on the spot, how could he arrange Commissioner Hua to stay in a guest house, and asked him to contact other big hotels immediately.

Hua Nianping thanked Qiu Mingqing for his kindness, and said that as long as there is food and shelter, there is no need to change other places.

After the meal, Executive Vice President Huang Chunrong and Secretary-General Hao personally sent Hua Nianping to the guest house.

Hua Nianping thought that tomorrow was Sunday, and the clothes on his body could no longer be worn, so he borrowed a thousand yuan from Huang Chunrong and planned to buy a new outfit.

Huang Chunrong was very generous, took out 2,000 yuan on the spot, handed it to Hua Nianping, and said that there was no need to pay it back.

Hua Nianping hadn't slept well for a few days, took a hot bath comfortably, and immediately fell asleep on the bed.

The next morning, the hurried doorbell woke Hua Nianping up.

As soon as he opened the door, Hao Cheng stepped into the room with a nervous look and said, "Commissioner Hua, it's very bad, something has happened to Xinhua Pharmaceutical Factory!" ”

Hua Nianping asked anxiously: "What's the big deal?" ”

Secretary-General Hao said: "There is a nursing home in Qilitang Town, Xizhou District, and more than 20 elderly people were rushed to the hospital at night, and the hospital said that it was due to the responsibility of Xinhua Pharmaceutical Factory, there was a collective food poisoning, and by this morning there were three old men who had lost their breath. ”

Hua Nianping was shocked, he didn't expect that he had not officially taken office before he encountered this serious accident, and hurriedly asked again: "What about the living old people, are they all in danger of leaving their lives?" ”

Secretary-General Hao replied: "The specific situation is not very clear, Deputy General Manager Huang Chunrong has rushed to the scene to organize the rescue and ordered me to come and report to you." ”

Hua Nianping didn't bother to wash, and immediately followed Hao Cheng to the hospital by car.

At this time, the sky was not yet bright, and the rain and snow had stopped at night for two days, Hua Nianping saw hundreds of men, women and children crowded at the entrance of the hospital, and more than a dozen of them had white filial piety cloths on their heads and bodies, and the endless cries were mixed with cursing, and the atmosphere was very tense.

Xiong Jiandong led dozens of special police soldiers and was ordered to block the entrance of the hospital, holding shields and confronting the gathered people to prevent the scene from getting out of control.

Several police cars were overturned at the scene.

Two reporters from the TV station, one of whom was a woman who appeared to be the anchor of a column program, was conducting a live interview with an elderly man.

Hua Nianping recognized from the old man's face that he was the fourth uncle Yan who took the same train that day and led people from the capital to be persuaded back by Deputy Mayor Lu Feng.

The female anchor is slightly thin, less than 1.6 meters tall.

She held the microphone in one hand and grabbed Uncle Yan's arm with the other, as if to persuade the angry old man to restrain his impulses.

Huang Chunrong and the local mayor Jin stood in the corridor of the hospital's emergency room and made a detailed report to Hua Nianping about the situation they had learned at the first time.

The director of the hospital reported that at about 10 o'clock in the evening, more than 20 elderly men and women were urgently sent to the hospital, and now they have been diagnosed with severe acute acidosis, most of them are over 70 years old, except for the three people who have died, there are still several people who are still in a life-threatening period, these old people are older, and they all have a history of diabetes and respiratory diseases, and the emergency rescue of the remaining 20 or so people is relatively effective, and the basic condition tends to be stable.

At this time, Lu Feng hurriedly walked past them with a very hurried look.

He suddenly saw Hua Nianping in the corridor, and saw Huang Chunrong and several leaders in the district surrounding him, and he was stunned for a moment.

Hua Nianping raised his hand to Lu Feng, said hello to him briefly, and continued to ask District Chief Jin about the investigation of the cause of the accident.

The mayor of Jin replied hesitantly, and he had not yet had time to make arrangements.

Hua Nianping frowned, and immediately criticized several leaders present unceremoniously, saying that the accident had happened for seven or eight hours, and the investigation of the cause had not been started for a long time, indicating that the district had not considered the emergency response well enough in handling this major incident.

District Mayor Jin and the others looked at each other, blushing and not daring to respond. Hua Nianping instructed that if Deputy Mayor Lu of Qilitang Town had time, he would be summoned to meet him immediately.

It didn't take long for Lu Feng to trot all the way over. He had already inquired about Hua Nianping's identity, and as soon as they met, he greeted him respectfully, "Hello Commissioner Hua!" ”

Hua Nianping ignored his politeness and ordered him to report the situation to everyone immediately.

Lu Feng reported that the weather was cloudy and rainy for several days, and the smell emitted by the Xinhua Pharmaceutical Factory was stuffy around, and the old people in the nursing home next to them had long said that they were panicked and out of breath.

Last night's meal in the nursing home was steamed buns, vinegared cabbage, and tomato and egg soup, and the problem was in the processing of this vinegared cabbage.

Chinese cabbage is grown by the nursing home itself, a few days ago has been soaked in sour water to grow, the acid water is the sewage flowing out of the Xinhua Pharmaceutical Factory next door, the vinegar used to cook is also brewed by the nursing home itself, the water source is a well in the yard, and it has long been polluted.

The director of the hospital confirmed that acidosis is the cause of death of all elderly people today.

Hua Nianping asked with concern about the draft of the nearby villagers.

Lu Feng replied that the water quality is similar to that of the nursing home, and he has urgently arranged for several villages near the Xinhua Pharmaceutical Factory not to drink the well water in the village from today onwards.

Hua Nianping asked Lu Feng again how to solve it when the people needed draft, and saw that Lu Feng couldn't answer, so he glanced at Huang Chunrong beside him.

Huang Chunrong immediately responded that he was responsible for deploying emergency supplies of draft water to several villages.

When Hua Nianping and others walked out of the emergency building, it was already dawn, and the people gathered at the entrance of the hospital saw a group of people with the appearance of leaders suddenly appearing, and immediately crowded over with great emotions.

They didn't know Hua Nianping, but they were very familiar with the Jin District Chief behind him.

So someone shouted: "Please give the villagers an explanation!" ”

There were even people who scolded, "Get out of here!" "Smash Xinhua Pharmaceutical Factory!" Wait, step by step towards the hospital.

It was the first time Hua Nianping had encountered such a large-scale mass gathering to make trouble, and he couldn't help but be very worried, worried that once the situation was out of control, it would cause a shocking riot.

Fortunately, he saw that the special police team commanded by Xiong Jiandong still maintained restraint and did not intend to take immediate measures against the siege of the masses.

Mayor Kim kindly suggested that everyone should avoid these troublemakers from the back door of the hospital.

Hua Nianping glared at him fiercely, and said sharply: "To be the official of the people, to spend the people's money, if you don't dare to face the people, what face do you have to be the official of the people!" ”
