Outside the window, the sky is overcast, and the faint sound of thunder indicates that there will be another abundant precipitation today.

Chen Youwei had a cigarette after dinner as always, and when he was about to go to sleep during his lunch break, the mobile phone in his hand rang.

Most of the people who can know the mobile phone number of Lu Dao are people who have a good relationship, but Chen Youwei was stunned when he picked up his mobile phone and saw an unfamiliar number.

"I'm Chen Youwei, who is it?" Chen Youwei didn't have the impatience to be disturbed during the break, and said calmly.

"Hello Secretary Chen, I'm Guan Ming!"

A familiar voice came out of the mobile phone, Chen Youwei was slightly stunned, and smiled very enthusiastically: "It turned out to be County Magistrate Guan, hello hello, we haven't seen each other for two years, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, since Secretary Chen left Shuiyang, we really haven't met." Guan Ming on the other end of the phone also felt a lot of emotion.

Chen Youwei had a good impression of Guan Ming, when he participated in the regional drought-fighting model worker commendation tour, Guan Ming, who was then a member of the Standing Committee of the Shuiyang County Party Committee and director of the Office of the County Party Committee, was the leader of the team. Chen Youwei, who was still a pink newcomer at the time, was well cared for by Guan Ming.

Chen Youwei remembers very clearly that if he asked Guan Ming for leave to go home and was not approved, there would definitely be no scene where he rescued Yaya in the heavy rain later. Without this kind of accidental intersection with Yaya, there would definitely be no later acquaintance with Liu Zhenhua and even Liu Yongheng.

Chen Youwei, who has experienced two lives, attaches great importance to things like fate that are inexplicable.

Guan Ming, who is just an insignificant passer-by in his life journey, but at the root of it, Chen Youwei Guan Ming still has an indescribable gratitude. Not to mention that when Xu Kai pointed the finger at Chen Youwei later, Guan Ming still decisively supported Chen Youwei.

The icing on the cake is good, but the warmth of the snow is even more extraordinary.

Perhaps even Guan Ming himself didn't realize how significant his actions at that time were for Chen Youwei to achieve his extraordinary achievements later.

Chen Youwei knows very well that a trivial statement at a critical moment is enough to save him countless troubles.

From this point of view, Chen Youwei was able to be promoted from a small clerk who was not literate to the current deputy department-level senior official in just a few years, and Guan Ming played a seemingly inconspicuous but very important link in it.

"County Magistrate Guan, is this coming to Yicheng?"

Chen Youwei raised his eyebrows lightly, and laughed loudly: "I'm in for a treat tonight!" I haven't seen you for a few years, and I really miss the old leaders of Shuiyang! ”

Guan Ming was already the executive deputy county magistrate when Li Tiejun was transferred to the Chu Wangcheng Development Zone, and when Xu Kai took over as the secretary of the county party committee, he didn't get much reuse and still walked in place.

The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection's big move in Yicheng made Xu Kai, secretary of the Shuiyang County Party Committee, fall off the horse, and Zhang Jianguo, the county magistrate who had just taken office for more than half a year, successfully took over as secretary of the county party committee. Guan Ming, the executive deputy county magistrate, naturally became the acting county magistrate.

Not surprisingly, his qualifications and abilities are not bad, and as long as Guan Ming waits until the people's congress passes the procedure, it is not a big problem for him to become the official magistrate of Shuiyang County.

"Secretary Chen is polite, I'm here to run some projects in the area, thinking that Yicheng is your Secretary Chen's territory, I naturally want to come to visit you!" Guan Ming heard that Chen Youwei's mood was good, and his originally nervous mood relaxed a lot.

Almost watching this hot-blooded young man who was still a little young and wooden at the beginning, with a momentum and unexpected courage and strategy, become a star-like high-ranking official in the Yicheng area step by step, all of which made Guan Ming feel like a dream.

Now Chen Youwei is no longer the young man who asked him for leave to go home and was still restrained, he has become the most influential member of the Standing Committee of the Prefectural Party Committee in Yicheng District, no matter from which point of view, it is very necessary for Guan Ming, who has become the No. 2 person in Shuiyang, to come to Chen Youwei to worship here.

Guan Ming, who is only forty-five or sixteen years old this year, still has a good age advantage, although the age of becoming a director is a little late, but for him, who has a lot of experience in officialdom, it is not impossible for him to be able to follow the right person at the right time, and it is not impossible to be promoted continuously. Of course, don't think too much about the magical speed of a rocket like Chen Youwei.

"At seven o'clock in the evening, Dorsett Hotel, I have a long private room there, you can go to the front desk and ask." Chen Youwei smiled lightly: "Shuiyang is my second hometown, my family is here, I must treat me well!" ”

Guan Ming was a little flattered and said politely: "Okay, let's see you again in the evening, so we won't bother Secretary Chen." ”

"It's good, see you again!"

Closing the phone, the smile between Chen Youwei's eyebrows was still vague, he had been busy for a while, and it might be an opportunity to have a good chat and leisure time if he could have acquaintances from Shuiyang come over.

The thunder outside the window was getting closer and closer, and Chen Youwei, who put down his mobile phone, found that the light in the office was getting darker and darker.

Walking to the window and carefully observing the situation outside the window, Chen Youwei felt that the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

"Liu Wei, go to the meteorological station and ask, how heavy is this rain? How do I feel that the weather forecast is inaccurate? Chen Youwei called Liu Wei and instructed.

"Secretary, I have already asked, the meteorological station said that this is a sudden strong convective weather, and it is very difficult to say how much precipitation there is." Liu Wei replied calmly.

Chen Youwei frowned and muttered: "The road renovation project in the city is only half completed, and most of the main roads near the railway station are in the construction stage. If the rain is too heavy, I am worried that the urban area will become a vast ocean, especially the culverts leading to the county seat of Yicheng, which are the most likely to be flooded. ”

Liu Wei said with some hesitation: "No, I haven't heard that there is such a flood in Yicheng!" ”

Chen Youwei packed up the things in the office, shook his head and said, "I grew up in Yicheng, and I know the situation here, something like this has happened before. The current time in Uiseong is when the infrastructure is relatively fragile, and we cannot afford to be careless. ”

Liu Wei said in a solemn voice: "Yes, secretary." ”

"In this way, you first contact Mayor Hu's side, and then notify various agencies and streets, and in order to prevent possible sudden heavy rain, all units are required to make preparations for flood prevention as soon as possible."

Liu Wei left in response, Chen Youwei looked at the gradually dense rain outside the window with complicated eyes, picked up the phone and dialed: "Secretary Qi, this rain is estimated to be not small." The problem in the upper reaches of Yicheng may not be big, but if the counties downstream do not prevent it early, it will not be a small problem! ”

Qi Shengli on the other end of the phone said in a relaxed tone: "Didn't the weather forecast say that it would be sunny tomorrow?" ”

Chen Youwei said in a deep voice: "I just asked the Meteorological Bureau, and they said that this is an unexpected strong convective weather, which is characterized by short time and heavy rainfall. Now that the rain has been significantly increasing, I think it is better to mobilize as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the rainstorm comes, I'm afraid it will be a little late. ”

Qi Shengli knew very well that Chen Youwei, who had a calm temperament, would not talk about such a thing for no reason, and after thinking about it quietly, he nodded lightly and said: "Okay, I will notify you and let all counties and districts prepare for flood prevention." ”

Chen Youwei nodded and said: "The terrain of our Yicheng area is high in the west and low in the east, and it may only be a small rainfall on the Yicheng side, but it is likely to be a terrible flood on the lower reaches of the Ming River." This is a drop of almost 100 meters, which is indeed not to be underestimated! ”

For a long time, most of the focus of work has been on the party and the masses and organizing these retreats, and Qi Shengli, who has just taken office as the secretary of the prefectural party committee and needs to control the overall situation, does not have a clear understanding of this possible potential problem.

Hearing Chen Youwei's timely reminder at this moment, Qi Shengli realized the seriousness of the matter.

At the end of the call with Qi Shengli, Chen Youwei was slightly relieved, with the early warning time, presumably those counties downstream should be able to reduce unnecessary losses.

Chen Youwei's main job is the secretary of the Yicheng City Party Committee, but the responsibilities of the Standing Committee of the Prefectural Party Committee and the good relationship with Qi Shengli make his approach not abrupt at all.

Even Qi Shengli knew very well that if Yicheng really suffered too much in this rainfall, although it would not be substantial harm to him who had just taken office, the negative impact would still affect his authority to some extent.

Chen Youwei took the raincoat and put on the rubber shoes from Liu Wei, and saw that the momentum of the rain was really pouring down like a dark cloud as he imagined, and he couldn't sit still for a long time.

Hu Zhenyu, who heard the news, came over with an umbrella to go out to inspect with Chen Youwei, but Chen Youwei decisively dissuaded: "The municipal party committee and the municipal government still need someone to guide the overall situation, I am young and strong, and I can do such a thing." ”

Hu Zhenyu agreed, but he couldn't stand Chen Youwei's kindness, so he could only watch Chen Youwei's car disappear in a foggy rain.

Under the majestic rain, the city is completely shrouded in the white rainstorm, and there are few vehicles on the congested roads on weekdays, and only the figures of people hiding from the rain under the roadside buildings are faintly visible.

The black Audi car drove smoothly on the main road of Yicheng, and Chen Youwei noticed that all the newly renovated roads, because all the sewers were re-dredged and built, and not too much water was formed. However, the roads under construction near the train station are much worse, and some low-lying areas are waterlogged and cannot even pass cars.

Especially in the area leading to the national highway in the urban area, the area of water accumulation is even as many as two or three blocks, and the serious waterlogging makes Chen Youwei worry for a while.

Near the banks of the Ming River, the situation is even worse.

Most of the embankments of the Ming River were built more than 10 years ago, and they don't think that in normal times, this heavy rainfall on a large scale suddenly makes the fragile Ming River embankment unbearable. The raging water overflows the embankment, and many low-lying places are swamps, which is shocking to watch.
