The shock caused by the fire on Gujing Street to the people near the urban area of Yicheng City is self-evident, and the loss of five lives at one time naturally makes countless people sigh.

There are different opinions about the cause of the fire, and for a while, the most lively topic in the whole Uiseong was this sudden fire.

The fires have been reduced to rubble, and hundreds of families who have escaped have either sought refuge with relatives and friends, or have been temporarily resettled by the relevant authorities. The dead who died in the fire were cremated and buried, and everything seemed to be in order and seemed to be about to return to peace.

The apparent calm does not hide the serious concern of the top management of Uiseong about the Gujing Street fire, especially the extremely severe criticism of the cause of the fire and the countermeasures taken by the district administration.

The officialdom of Yicheng, which was already surging undercurrents, has become even more turbulent due to this fire that has caused serious consequences, and people with a discerning eye have seen that a power game around this fire is already tense and out of control.

Chen Youwei's development zone was not affected much by the fire, but he personally saw the great devastation that the Gujing Street fire brought to the lives of local residents, and he personally mobilized the development zone to call for donations to those who suffered huge losses in the fire.

There was no excessive designated apportionment, and more than 10,000 donations were received from the employees of the development zone management committee alone. In addition to some donations from most of the enterprises in the development zone, a total of more than 50,000 donations were soon distributed to the affected households according to the households.

Under the coordination of the relevant regional departments, the livelihood of the affected residents has been basically guaranteed, and their future housing problems will have to be answered after some discussion.

With the government's swift response, the aftermath of the Gujing Street fire proceeded quickly, and as time passed, everyone erased the scars in their hearts and continued to live day after day.

However, the officialdom of Yicheng was in turmoil caused by the fire on Gujing Street, and various chemical reactions continued to occur. The wrestling of various forces up and down Yicheng will eventually transform the long-accumulated quantitative change into a shocking qualitative change.

Although Chen Youwei, who was sitting in Diaoyutai, was mostly focused on the management of the development zone, he was extremely concerned about this much-anticipated power struggle in Yicheng.

The reason is very simple, although everything in the development zone is now stable on the surface, there are faint signs of independence from the officialdom of Yicheng. But if the bones are broken and the tendons are connected, if the officialdom in Yicheng is really chaotic, it may be impossible for the development zone to be alone.

It has been a month since the Gujing Street fire, and Chen Youwei feels more and more that the game around the fire has reached the most critical moment.

Coming to the office early as usual, Chen Youwei quickly finished the work in hand, brewed a cup of strong tea, picked up the newspaper of the day and read it carefully.

With the improvement of his status, Chen Youwei now attaches more and more importance to the improvement of theory and the improvement of the overall vision.

The phone in front of the "Jingle Bell" desk rang, and Chen Youwei picked up the phone casually and said softly: "Which one?" ”

The majestic voice of the uncle came from the phone: "I heard that Yicheng has been very unpeaceful recently, do you mean to jump out of that whirlpool?" ”

Chen Youwei was stunned.

It has been more than a year since the uncle took up the post of governor of Jiangnan Province, and compared with the other world, the situation in Jiangnan Province has been greatly improved because of the Lingnan incident, and the current uncle is very handy in his work.

Chen Youwei didn't expect that his busy uncle would know so much about his situation. Especially when he heard the loving reminder, Chen Youwei felt a strong warmth in his heart.

"Uncle, you know that I have invested a lot of expectations in Yicheng, and now is the critical moment to attack the fortification, if I leave now, it will definitely be halfway." Chen Youwei pondered for a long time, and said in a slow deep voice.

The uncle's voice became much softer, and he laughed loudly: "I know that you will have such an idea, but be vigilant!" Listening to Zhuo Ran, the current Yicheng has become the sweet spot of your Shannan, and it is already one of the focal points of the struggle in the province. ”

"Don't worry, if someone doesn't have long eyes, then let's fight!" Chen Youwei said with a smile: "Those who want to snatch food from our old Chen family's tiger mouth, I'm afraid they haven't been born yet!" ”

Chen Bonian was very pleased with his nephew's heroic words, and after a burst of laughter, he said a few words of concern before hanging up the phone.

The uncle's phone call made Chen Youwei's shadow more and more heavy, and he could imagine that if it weren't for the complicated situation in the province, Zhuo Ran, as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, would not have been able to call the uncle directly for no reason.

Chen Youwei lit a cigarette faintly, his deep eyes looked through the green smoke rising from his eyes, and his handsome face was solemn for a while.

For a long time, Chen Youwei has heard rumors about himself for a long time, both good and bad.

One thing he himself knows very well, don't look at himself to make the development zone prosperous, but there have always been people who are angry about being in a high position at such a young age.

Especially when he is only 26 years old, he has become one of the few deputy departments with real power in Shannan Province and even the whole country. Chen Youwei can imagine his rapid promotion, and behind the calm surface, he doesn't know how many envy, jealousy and hatred are hidden.

On the surface, the fire on Gujing Street had little to do with Chen Youwei.

However, when the division of responsibility for the fire was not fruitful for a long time, Chen Youwei knew that the matter was obviously not so simple, and a series of open and secret battles around the fire had gradually become white-hot, and things began to become complicated.

However, all this is still a little far away for Chen Youwei now, for him, no matter how unpredictable the wind outside is, as long as he can do a good job of the three acres of land in the development zone, the gossip outside will never have any lethality.

The current situation of the development zone is also very satisfactory to Chen Youwei, and now there is still a quarter before the whole year of '93, but the development zone has successfully completed the plan at the beginning of the year three months ahead of schedule. At present, a total of 1,800 enterprises of all sizes and above designated size have settled in the development zone, and at least nearly half of the factories have been put into operation after the basic construction has been completed.

Seeing the busy scene of cars and people coming and going in the development zone every day, Chen Youwei, who is full of enthusiasm for the development zone, naturally has indescribable excitement.

For Chen Youwei, who is a man of two lifetimes, money is completely just a number for him.

Although power is something he chases endlessly, it is only a tool for him to achieve his ideals.

And what really makes Chen Youwei feel the greatest joy in life is to see a thriving new city take shape from his own hands.

Perhaps it is such an indescribable sense of success and happiness that makes Chen Youwei feel more and more that he lives in this world, not so ethereal.

After all, for Chen Youwei, who has an incomprehensible encounter for ordinary people, he has a strong sense of unreality every time he thinks of himself in another world and even the great Chen family.

And perhaps it is such a kind of persistence that has always been entangled in Chen Youwei's heart that is the fundamental reason that has always spurred him not to slack off.

There are still two days left for the annual National Day, although there are still some years to be implemented with the headache but nostalgia of the seven-day long holiday in later generations. However, for ordinary people to have a three-day or two rest, it is also excellent for ordinary people to have a holiday of three or two days.

However, with the escalation of the struggle, there was no festive atmosphere.

On the contrary, many officials, including Xie Hongwei, the party secretary of Yicheng City, were nervous, and there were already too many signs that the fire on Gujing Street was beginning to spread to them.

Chen Youwei drove the Mitsubishi into the compound of the prefectural party committee, got out of the car and walked straight to the large conference hall with his handbag that never left him.

Today is an enlarged meeting of the Yicheng Standing Committee, and it is not only the deputy commissioner like him who usually only plays soy sauce must be present, Chen Youwei glanced at the venue, including the chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and most of the incumbent deputy department-level officials in the Yicheng area were present.

Unlike previous meetings related to economic discussions, Chen Youwei huddled directly at the back of the venue.

Anyway, he only has the right to observe such an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee, and he does not want to set himself on fire in such a tense critical meeting.

Just simply nodded to the people nearby, Chen Youwei lit a cigarette and closed his eyes slightly thinking about what might happen.

Everyone in the venue could feel the solemn atmosphere of the scene, most of them silently bowed their heads and smoked, and the small space was soon filled with green smoke.

Cao Huanghuang and Ma Biao, who had solemn expressions, walked into the venue in turn, raised their wrists to look at the time, and after Cao Huanghuang, secretary of the prefectural party committee, coughed lightly, he raised his voice and said: "The reason why we convened this enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee today must be clear to everyone here, so now the meeting begins." First of all, Commissioner Ma will briefly explain the investigation of the Gujing Street fire. ”

Ma Biao, who was well prepared for today's meeting, was not polite, picked up a thick piece of information and waved it in the air, and said in a deep voice: "This material is the report of the Gujing Street fire formed by the regional public security department after a month of intense investigation. It was a completely destructive activity that was specifically carried out by someone, and from the burning point at the scene to the large number of witnesses that proved that the fire was a serious criminal case! ”

Most of the people on the scene had already known the news in advance and did not express much surprise.

Chen Youwei paid attention to Xie Hongwei in the front row, judging from his expression, which was not a trace of relief, I am afraid that this result that seemed to be beneficial to him did not seem to be of much use.
