The joy and peace during the festival did not soothe Pei Yihong's nervous nerves. Whether it is making an enthusiastic speech on TV, or smiling to greet the cadres and the masses, or participating in various festival activities, Pei Yihong always maintains a vigilance and is ready to deal with all possible emergencies at any time. Experience has proved that the more major the festival, the more likely there is to be some accidents, last year's National Day, there was a water penetration accident in Wenshan Coal Mine, which almost did not let him and Zhao Anbang fall into punishment. Something happened this year: on the morning of the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he was presiding over a group meeting of four teams, and an explosion occurred in a fireworks factory in Pingzhou City, killing three and injuring five; On the afternoon of the second day of the Lunar New Year, the roof of a factory building that had just been put into use in Ningchuan City collapsed, but fortunately, the factory was on holiday and only two staff on duty were stoned to death. When he heard the report, he became angry: the safety inspection was repeatedly emphasized before the holiday, and a special document was issued, and there were two accidents!

As the secretary of the provincial party committee of a major economic province, Pei Yihong bears unshirkable responsibility for the 80,000 square kilometers of land and more than 50 million people under his leadership. The common people can have a good holiday and relax after a year of hard work, but he can't, especially Zhao Anbang, who is the governor of the province, is hospitalized again, so he doesn't dare to take it lightly.

On the morning of the fourth day of the new year, as soon as I entered the office, Director Zhao of the General Office came to report, "Secretary Pei, yesterday was quite quiet, according to the situation reported by various cities, there were no major accidents involving casualties in the province!" ”

Pei Yihong "hummed", "Chinese New Year's Eve together, the second day of the new year, it's already quite interesting!" ”

Director Zhao smiled, "That's it, that's it!" Secretary Pei, Secretary Ding Xiaoming of Pingzhou and the relevant provincial and municipal departments attach great importance to your instructions, and are investigating the fireworks factory accident. ”

Pei Yihong said slowly: "He Ding Xiaoming still dares to celebrate the festival?" You give him a call and ask him to send me the accident report and inspection after the holiday! Oh, and the collapse of the Ningchuan factory has to be investigated to see if there is any corruption in it? Why did the plant that had just been put into use collapse? Isn't it a corrupt house! ”

Director Zhao responded, "Okay, good, Comrade North China also means this, and he also gave instructions!" Then, he went on to report, "Although there were no casualties yesterday, there were two accidents: a laid-off worker of Shanhe Group, a bankrupt enterprise in Wenshan, committed suicide by jumping off a building...... It's bad! ”

Pei Yihong was stunned and criticized: "It's not bad, it's very bad!" What's going on in Wenshan? Did Shi Yanan and Fang Zhenggang go to comfort the employees of the difficult enterprises? How to let a laid-off worker die on the third day of the Lunar New Year? ”

Director Zhao said: "I have condoled, the comrades from North China were in Wenshan at that time and also participated, this is just an accident!" ”

Pei Yihong was noncommittal, "Go on, what else is the accident?" Didn't you say that there were two accidents? ”

Director Zhao became more and more careful, "Oh, due to the land acquisition of the steel mill in Dudao Township, Jinchuan District, Yinshan City, the local farmers and ** had a conflict, and Wu Yaya, the CEO of the Asian Iron and Steel United Company, who was negotiating and signing the contract, was detained, and the scale of the incident was relatively large, more than 1,000 people, this is what happened last night, and the secretary-general on duty just knew this morning!" ”

Pei Yihong was a little strange, "Isn't Asia Iron and Steel United Company an enterprise in Wenshan?" Isn't Wu Yaya a powerful person that Shi Yanan and Fang Zheng just introduced from Ningchuan? What are the farmers in Yinshan Dokdao Township doing with this Wu Yaya? ”

Director Zhao explained: "Wu Yaya's base camp is good in Wenshan, but there is also a project in Yinshan, which is the silicon steel plant in Dodao Township, which was won by Yinshan City with great difficulty!" The local ** requisitioned a total of 2,500 acres of land for this project, and the compensation was low, so the farmers stopped doing it, and they began to petition a few years ago, and now there is a trouble! ”

Pei Yihong stared at Director Zhao and asked unhappily, "Is the situation still ongoing?" ”

Director Zhao nodded, "The police from Yinshan and Wenshan have been dispatched, and they should be able to control the situation......

Pei Yihong had a seizure at this time, and his face pulled, "You Xiao Zhao, such a big thing, just say it now!" What else do you say is quite quiet! Is this called silence? The police of both cities have been dispatched, and the situation of stability and unity has been destroyed! Find me Zhang Guichun from Yinshan, and Shi Yanan from Wenshan, and ask them to call me back immediately! ”

Director Zhao wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, responded again and again, and made a phone call on the spot to contact Yinshan and Wenshan.

Unexpectedly, Yinshan and Wenshan had not yet been contacted, and Zhao Anbang's phone came first, from the ward of the Provincial People's Hospital, and asked with concern: "Hey, Lao Pei, nothing big happened in the past few days during the holiday, right?" ”

Pei Yihong was going to tell what happened, but after thinking about it, the governor of the province was sick, so he swallowed back the words to his lips, and said as calmly as possible: "Oh, it's not a big deal, Anbang, how are you?" Okay? ”

Zhao Anbang said: "What's good, it burned in the middle of the night last night, and this time it made me miserable!" Now that the fever has subsided, send holiday greetings to your dude! It doesn't matter if I'm sick, I'm playing with you, and I'm uneasy! ”

Pei Yihong smiled: "Don't be so polite! Aren't you afraid that I'm not worthy of this class, check my post?! ”

Zhao Anbang smiled on the phone, "I dare to check your brother's post?" Your post has to be checked by the central government! After jokingly chatting about the day, the topic turned out to be Wenshan, "Lao Pei, when Lao Yu visited the old comrades in the hospital yesterday, he came to me to talk about the situation in Wenshan, and I couldn't lie down: Lao Yu sang praises for Wenshan, praising the situation there, this is a fact, Shi Yanan and Fang Zhenggang did a good job, but there are also many problems and troubles!" ”

Pei Yihong thought: My comrade governor, this trouble has come, if it is not properly handled in time, I don't know what the situation will be! But he said haha: "Where can there be no problems and troubles, Wenshan is underdeveloped, problems and troubles will definitely not be less, fortunately, the current team is more effective, we still have to have confidence!" ”

Zhao Anbang said: "Lao Pei, I'm not afraid of lack of confidence now, but I'm afraid that my confidence is too much, and I can't reach it if I want to hurry!" ”

Pei Yihong was quite puzzled, "Hey, Anbang, what do you mean by that?" Tell me about it! ”

Zhao Anbang said: "Wenshan has more than 7 million tons of steel at once, and the new industrial zone has been launched on such a large scale, I think it's a bit hanging!" I know Wu Yaya and his Asian Steel Federation better, and it is impossible to have this financial strength! They invested more than 10 billion in one phase, and it was a bit unexpected to go up so quickly and so fiercely! ”

At this time, Director Zhao held another telephone microphone and signaled to Pei Yihong: The phone he asked for was connected.

Pei Yihong waved his hand and continued to chat with Zhao Anbang, "Hey, Anbang, do you know what proportion of bank credit accounts for the investment of these projects of the Asian Iron and Steel Federation?" How much of their own and self-financed funds do they have? ”

Zhao Anbang said: "It's not too clear now, I'm going to go to Wenshan after the festival to find out!" According to the judgment of these projects of the Asian Iron and Steel Federation, the final investment scale will not be less than 25 billion, or even reach 30 billion, if the situation suddenly changes, the state tightens credit, I am worried that there will be problems, so that Wenshan falls into passivity! ”

Pei Yihong's heart tightened, "Anbang, then you and the provincial ** have to take measures in time, if you really get to that point, we won't be able to explain to the top and bottom!" After a pause, he said without worry, "This is really a dilemma, Wenshan is a traditional heavy industry city, there are coal mines, there are iron mines, and there is nothing wrong with the steel city!" ”

Zhao Anbang said: "Yes, if Wenshan had found the right position a few years ago, it would be nice to have such a big steel!" ”

Pei Yihong was thinking about Yinshan and Wenshan, and he didn't have the heart to talk to Zhao Anbang more, "Anbang, since you have thought of the problem, let's study and solve it, I still have a little urgent matter to deal with, stop first!" With that, he hung up the phone.

Hung up Zhao Anbang's phone, Pei Yihong took another phone from Director Zhao's hand, it was Shi Yanan, secretary of the Wenshan Municipal Party Committee, Director Zhao said that Zhang Guichun, secretary of the Yinshan Municipal Party Committee, is currently unknown, and he is still looking for it.

Shi Yanan is his old subordinate, Pei Yihong has nothing to be polite, and he said: "Yanan, you Wenshan really don't let me and the provincial party committee worry, tell me, how did you spend the Spring Festival?!" ”

Shi Yanan was actually very numb, "Secretary Pei, what's wrong?" I have been in Wenshan throughout the Spring Festival, and I didn't even dare to go back home, while on duty, I took two orphans to celebrate the festival, and you advocated paying attention to the disadvantaged groups! ”

Pei Yihong was quite impatient, "Don't show credit, I know about this, the provincial newspaper reported it!" But I also remind you: don't just make superficial statements, what is the matter with the suicide worker who is also a vulnerable group? You said! ”

Shi Yanan seemed to understand, "Secretary Pei, you said this!" Then let me report: Sunward Group is an insolvent bankrupt enterprise, and it is also the focus of our city's attention, and the work of pre-holiday condolences and subsidies has been done! ”

Pei Yihong said angrily: "But that worker comrade still jumped from the sixth floor on the third day of the Lunar New Year!" ”

Shi Yanan reviewed: "Secretary Pei, we have the responsibility and responsibility to review it from you and the provincial party committee!" However, he said, "According to the preliminary investigation, the direct cause of the worker's jumping off the building was the intensification of family conflicts......

Pei Yihong couldn't listen, "If it weren't for laid-off poverty, would the family conflict be so intense?" Accept this lesson, try to do a good job of pacification, now that the polarization is so serious, you must be vigilant! ”

Shi Yanan said again and again: "Okay, okay, Secretary Pei, I'...... I'm going to implement your instructions tonight! ”

Pei Yihong then talked about the turmoil that was happening in Yinshan, "What's going on in Dokdo Township?" How did your Asian Iron and Steel Union Company in Wenshan go to the Yinshan land boundary? The peasants there are in trouble, you know? ”

Shi Yanan immediately shouted, "Secretary Pei, it's really hard for your old leader to say if you don't ask me!" I just knew that this was caused by the brutal mistakes of Yinshan! Wu Yaya's Asian Iron and Steel Federation didn't want to expand to Yinshan, it was the Yinshan Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal ** who dug it up, and I and Zhenggang were so angry that they died! It's good now, the conflict has always erupted! ”

Pei Yihong was furious, "Shi Yanan, listening to your tone, it's still a little gloating, isn't it?" Even if it's a silver mountain digging project, it's from you! How many projects have you and Fang Zheng just poached from Ningchuan and Pingzhou in the south! ”

Shi Yanan didn't dare to argue, and muttered: "But he Zhang Guichun doesn't have a gold steel diamond, so don't do porcelain work!" ”

Pei Yihong thought about it, and didn't criticize it again, "How did you hear that the police in your Wenshan were also dispatched?" ”

Shi Yanan said with emotion: "Wu Yaya reported the case on the phone, and we have to go to the police to rescue us!" ”

Only then did Pei Yihong figure out that the dispatch of the Wenshan police was just to save Wu Yaya, the boss of the Asian Iron and Steel Federation, and he was somewhat relieved, and it seemed that the situation in Dokdo Township was not serious enough to the point that the police of the two cities were collectively dispatched.

After the call with Shi Yanan ended, Yinshan's call came. It was a report phone call from a deputy secretary general of the Yinshan Municipal Party Committee on duty, saying that Zhang Guichun, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, had braved the snowstorm to go to Dodo Township, and it was estimated that there was a shield on the road and his mobile phone could not be reached. According to the Under-Secretary-General on duty, the situation has been brought under control and Wu Yaya has not been harmed.

Pei Yihong said: "That's good, tell the comrades at the scene that you can't intensify the contradictions and cause bloodshed!" ”

The deputy secretary general replied again and again: "Yes, yes, Secretary Pei, our Secretary Zhang also instructed so!" ”

Putting down the phone, Pei Yihong inadvertently looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window, and then noticed that it was also snowing in the provincial capital, and a few larches in his sight were half-wrapped in silver, and the ground was wet, and a thin layer of snow had accumulated in some places.

Looking at the snowflakes that were fluttering one after another, Pei Yihong thought to himself, there really can't be anything big at this critical moment!

When he held a meeting in Beijing a few years ago, the central leaders talked to him and asked him to prepare to enter Beijing, and he could not be stumbled by this unexpected land requisition storm at the last moment when he was transferred out of this large economic province. According to the report of the relevant central departments, there have recently been a number of vicious incidents caused by demolition and relocation and land requisition in various parts of the country, which have aroused great attention from the central government. Taking a step back, even if he leaves after the holiday, he has to stand on the last shift, and he cannot leave a handle for the cadres and masses of the Han River, let alone leave hidden dangers for the comrades who take over.

The comrade who took over is likely to be Zhao Anbang. When the central leaders and relevant departments solicited opinions, he talked about his views on Zhao Anbang in a matter-of-fact manner: Zhao Anbang served as secretary of the Ningchuan Municipal Party Committee, the largest economic city, in the 26 years of the Han River, and Ningchuan miraculously rose during his tenure. After that, the vice governor and executive vice governor worked for four years, and he has been the governor for almost two years, and he has done a good job. No matter how the international and domestic situation changes, the ebb and flow of the tide, the economy of the Han River has always maintained a good momentum of rapid growth, and Zhao Anbang's achievements and contributions cannot be erased. However, the provincial governor also has weaknesses: he is more than enterprising, Shen is not stable enough, there are many records of violations in history, and the old subordinate Qian Huiren who was single-handedly mentioned was also corrupted under the cover of violations. Of course, Zhao Anbang is also changing, Qian Huiren has paid more attention to this problem after the accident, and he also took the initiative to mention the central government's macroeconomic regulation and control policies on the phone today.

Another comrade that the Central Committee is more concerned about is Yu Huabei. Older than seniority and strong principle, this time it may go further, but the hope of becoming a provincial governor does not seem to be great. He has been in charge of organization and personnel for a long time, and he is not too familiar with the economic construction led by the first class, especially the economic construction at this stage. The secretary of the provincial party committee is estimated not to consider it. The secretary of the provincial party committee must also understand the economy, and the requirements are even higher, and he must not only have the ability and quality to grasp the overall situation, but also have a considerable level of coordination and wisdom. After so many years of reform, the conflicts between various regions and interest groups are acute and complicated, and there have been constant contradictions between the developed areas in the south and the underdeveloped areas in the north. What's more, because of his relatively old qualifications, he also brings the weakness of being older. The most likely scenario is that after Zhao Anbang succeeds as secretary of the provincial party committee, the central government will parachute a provincial governor over, and Lao Yu may be arranged to be the leader of the provincial CPPCC......

As soon as I thought of this, Zhang Guichun, secretary of the Yinshan Municipal Party Committee, hung up the phone, and reviewed it as soon as he opened his mouth, "Secretary Pei, I'm really sorry, we didn't do a good job, and before the year was over, we added a mess to you and the provincial party committee......"

Pei Yihong's mood was relatively calm, and he said as kindly as possible: "It's nothing to add a little chaos to me, as long as you don't have any chaos below!" I couldn't help but criticize, "Comrade Guichun, what kind of porcelain work do you have without a gold steel drill?" Wenshan is a traditional heavy industry city, to make steel bigger and stronger, you Yinshan is a coastal city, to make more fuss about the development of tidal flats, why not grab this cup of soup? Considering that Shi Yanan was his old subordinate, he was afraid that Zhang Guichun would have some misunderstanding, and said, "I'm not protecting Wenshan, you Yinshan can really do a good job of the project you snatched!" ”

Zhang Guichun confessed: "Secretary Pei, this time the trouble in Dokdo Township has nothing to do with the steel!" These 2,500 acres of land were originally included in the scope of industrial development land, even if there are other projects, farmers will still make trouble! ”

Pei Yihong said: "Now that you know, why don't you do your work in front?" How did the peasant comrades make a fuss during the festival? You're still sober and rushed over to deal with it yourself, that's good! It's still during the festival, not usual, so you should attach great importance to this sudden incident and handle it carefully......"

Speaking of which, the phone was disconnected, and Pei Yihong estimated that Zhang Guichun was still on the road and ran into a shield again.

At this time, the snow outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was getting heavier and heavier, and as far as the eye could see, it was already a dazzling white.

Later, Pei Yihong learned that the snow in the northern areas such as Riwen Mountain and Yinshan was heavier, and there was a six-level gale. During the phone interruption, Zhang Guichun's car overturned six kilometers away from Dokdo Township and almost killed him!
