At noon one day, close to the end of work, because the leaders of the counterpart departments of the provincial department were investigating and guiding the work of the Mashan Bureau, Liang Haixing hurriedly returned to the bureau after attending the city meeting for Zhao Liang.

In the conference room of the bureau, Liang Haixing was about to listen to a briefing after greeting comrades from the provincial department who came to investigate and guide the work. Suddenly, there was a cacophony of sounds outside the conference room. At first, Liang Haixing thought that the conference room was facing the street, and when he got off work, the road was noisy, so he asked his subordinates to close the windows of the conference room.

When his subordinates came to the window to take a look, they couldn't help but be surprised: I don't know when, the people who came to petition had blocked the entrance of the bureau office. Seeing this scene, his subordinates quickly reported Liang Haixing. Liang Haixing immediately came to the window of the conference room. The scene in front of him surprised Liang Haixing even more: four or five people wearing hard hats who looked like migrant workers held long banners, and on the white cloth banners, they wrote in bright red dye: "Pay me back my hard-earned money." Dozens of people who also looked like migrant workers wearing hard hats in front of the banner were very excited, shouting incessantly, the voice was very noisy, perhaps because it was a little far away from the conference room, and it was difficult to hear what slogans the migrant workers were shouting.

Hou Jinsheng has closed the iron gate of the office compound, and is trying his best to persuade the petitioning migrant workers; The doorman looked at the office building from time to time with a pair of helpless eyes. Outside the door, the petitioners saw that the gate was locked, so they tried to climb over the wall through the iron fence to enter the bureau, and Hou Jinsheng kept explaining to the petitioners while preventing migrant workers from climbing into the compound from the wall and causing accidents, and he was very busy.

It is the time to get off work, the road is bustling with pedestrians, vehicles are like shuttles, watching the lively passers-by, and soon a huge crowd is formed, blocking the originally wide road. The formation in front of him made Liang Haixing suddenly realize the seriousness of the problem, and what made him even more uneasy was that at this moment, Zhao Liang, as a regular officer, was investigating in the prairie thousands of miles away, and how to deal with this very tricky mass incident alone, and a little carelessness may further intensify the problem, the situation is more difficult to control, the consequences are unimaginable, and his own authorization is limited. At this time, Liang Haixing remembered the basic principles he grasped when he participated in the handling of mass incidents in the hall at that time: stabilize the other party's emotions first, and it is better to disperse than to gather. Liang Haixing repeatedly warned himself: You must be calm.

While Liang Haixing was thinking about countermeasures, Liang Haixing's mobile phone rang, and it was Hou Jinsheng calling. Hou Jinsheng gave Liang Haixing a brief report on the petition incident that had just occurred.

After receiving a call from Hou Jinsheng, Liang Haixing suddenly saw hope. After listening to Hou Jinsheng's brief report, Liang Haixing instructed Hou Jinsheng to stabilize the other party first, and then asked Hou Jinsheng to notify the main leaders of the relevant departments to go to the conference room immediately to discuss countermeasures. After Liang Haixing finished arranging the work, he asked the relevant comrades in the bureau to accompany the comrades of the provincial department to dinner from the back door of the office compound. The investigators of the provincial department gave Liang Haixing great understanding, and walked out of the conference room one after another, accompanied by the staff of the Mashan Bureau. Liang Haixing's consideration was to let the provincial department personnel leave first, so that he could free up all his energy to deal with the emergency in front of him.

After the personnel of the provincial department left the conference room, Liang Haixing found several cadres from the political work department who were slightly older and calm, and after a few words, he went to the gate of the office compound and replaced Hou Jinsheng to participate in the emergency meeting.

With Liang Haixing's clear opinion, Hou Jinsheng also had the backbone to deal with it, seemed to see hope, seemed very excited, and was worried that the situation would get out of control after he left, so he immediately said loudly to the petitioners: "Don't worry, I have reported your request to the leader, and the leader is convening me to a meeting and will reply soon." Then he comforted the petitioners. Seeing that the personnel who came to assist had arrived, Hou Jinsheng explained a few more words. Then, quickly walk towards the office building of the bureau.

Hou Jinsheng briefly introduced the incident to the participants: the petitioning migrant workers, who did not know who bewitched them, said that they had heard that Director Zhao had taken people to the prairie to play, and the petitioning migrant workers were very angry, claiming that they had money to go out to play, why not pay back their hard-earned money. As a result, some people picked up ZZ migrant workers to come to the bureau to petition. There are many unfamiliar faces in the crowd of petitioners, and in such a short period of time, so many migrant workers have been gathered to petition, and the ZZ people have ulterior motives and deliberately make things bigger, and they feel that the migrant workers who may have petitioned have been taken advantage of.

Listening to Hou Jinsheng's introduction, Liang Haixing kept recording, his rapidly rotating brain was eagerly thinking about the countermeasures to solve the sudden group incident in front of him, and he was still thinking about when and how to report to the provincial department and the city according to the relevant principles.

As soon as Hou Jinsheng finished his report, Liang Haixing immediately said: "Old Hou, it is understood that you have worked at the grassroots level for a long time, and you must have experienced a lot of such things. ”

Seeing Liang Haixing's eyes full of trust, Hou Jinsheng thought for a while and said: "This time the migrant workers petitioned differently from the original way of asking for accounts from the bureau. Judging from the current situation, their main purpose is to use Director Zhao to go out to make things bigger, expand their influence, and arouse social concern, and then urge the bureau to pay their arrears as soon as possible. Therefore, it is difficult to cope with just a few words, and I am afraid that there will be a satisfactory result. Also, that is to find a way to calm down this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, it is the rush hour after work, and the more people gather, it is easy to make the situation get out of control. Once something unexpected happens, it will not only be troublesome to deal with in the future, but also fall into great passivity. Liang Haixing seemed to be very satisfied with Hou Jinsheng's report, nodded his head incessantly, and seemed to feel that the matter was far more serious than he imagined, especially when he heard Hou Jinsheng's introduction, there may be someone behind him, Liang Haixing immediately realized that this was a mass incident with ZZ, and he must be cautious and thoughtful in dealing with it.

After Liang Haixing briefly solicited everyone's opinions, he quickly formed a response measure, and quickly established a temporary emergency handling headquarters with Liang Haixing as the main person in charge. Liang Haixing felt that although Zhao Liang was on a business trip, Zhao Liang was the main post in the bureau after all, and such a big incident happened in the bureau, according to the ZZ procedure, he should report to him, and by the way, he would have asked Zhao Liang's opinion on the countermeasures he had just studied and determined, and after he agreed, he should pay close attention to implementation. Thinking of this, Liang Haixing asked Hou Jinsheng to call Zhao Liang as soon as possible, and immediately report to Zhao Liang about the mass petition incident that had just occurred in the bureau, as well as the countermeasures decided by the study, and listen to Zhao Liang's instructions and requirements.

Seeing that Hou Jinsheng had not moved for a long time, Liang Haixing thought that Hou Jinsheng was unwilling to talk to Zhao Liang, so he said to him: "It's okay, I'll tell Director Zhao if you get through." Hou Jinsheng saw that Liang Haixing saw his thoughts, and it was difficult to shirk it anymore, so he dialed Zhao Liang's mobile phone number, but unexpectedly, Zhao Liang's mobile phone has been in a state of disconnection.

Liang Haixing asked Lu Meishuang and the driver's mobile phones to call again, and specially instructed: Once connected, immediately ask the other party to hand the mobile phone to Zhao Liang. In anxious waiting, Liang Haixing thought about the next step. The result was still disappointing for Liang Haixing: Lu Meishuang's mobile phone was turned off, and the driver's mobile phone was connected, but no one answered.

Without further ado, in desperation, Liang Haixing decided to quickly report the mass petition incident that had just occurred and the handling of the situation to Director Huang Zhenggang of the Provincial Department.

After listening to Liang Haixing's brief report, Huang Zhenggang did not immediately express his position, but asked Liang Haixing rhetorically: What is Zhao Liang doing now? Why didn't he report it directly? Liang Haixing couldn't hide it, so he had to answer truthfully. After Huang Zhenggang was silent for a while, he asked Liang Haixing to immediately inform Zhao Liang to return to the bureau to deal with the problem in an unquestioning tone. Huang Zhenggang seemed to be worried that Liang Haixing would be embarrassed, so he said to Liang Haixing again: "Please tell Zhao Liang, just say that this is my order." ”

Huang Zhenggang's order made Liang Haixing feel embarrassed. Liang Haixing thought to himself: If Zhao Liang can be contacted, wouldn't he have to report to Director Huang himself? He didn't know where Zhao Liang was or what he was doing now, let alone convey Director Huang's order to return to the bureau to deal with the problem immediately. Liang Haixing understands Huang Zhenggang's mood very well at this time, if he tells the truth, it will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire, and Huang Zhenggang, who is angry, may take unexpected and severe measures, and even send people to fly to the prairie immediately. In that case, it will not only deal with the petition incident, but also deal with Zhao Liang, which will inevitably involve himself, and the matter will be more complicated. Thinking of this, Liang Haixing had no choice but to accept Huang Zhenggang's request.

After listening to Liang Haixing's answer, Huang Zhenggang seemed to be a little less angry, and said to Liang Haixing: "Find a way to control the situation first, stabilize the other party first, and then do the work slowly." Pay close attention to the ZZ personnel to write a report to the department, and by the way, put forward the situation of arrears to the department, and the department will try to find a way to help you solve it. In our work, we must pay attention to methods, pay attention to methods, and grasp policies well; we must not teach others to be punished, we must not provoke the other party with excessive actions, we must not turn mass incidents into group conflicts, still less can we cause bloodshed and casualties. Huang Zhenggang specially explained to Liang Haixing: "According to the territorial management, immediately report to the city and strive for the maximum support of the city." Huang Zhenggang added: "You report to the city now, and then I will find Secretary Zhou Siguo and tell Secretary Zhou about the situation." ”

After listening to Huang Zhenggang's instructions, Liang Haixing seemed to have confidence in his heart, and was just about to put down the phone and hurry up the implementation, Huang Zhenggang said again: "If there is anything to report to the hall at any time, and any requirements should be put forward in time, but don't make any claims." ”

The noise outside, as well as the slogans shouting the sky and the earth, rose higher and higher, Liang Haixing kept warning himself: At this time, you must be steady, you must not be impulsive, let alone rash.

According to Huang Zhenggang's request, Liang Haixing asked Hou Jinsheng to hurry up and report everything that had just happened to the city by phone.

To Liang Haixing's surprise, the city's requirements were basically the same as Huang Zhenggang's requirements: properly handle the situation and quickly report the relevant situation to the municipal party committee. Liang Haixing also asked the bureau office to draft a report on the causes of what had just happened and the arrears of debts in accordance with the requirements of Huang Zhenggang and the city, and at the same time report it to the provincial department and the municipal party committee.

After everything was arranged, Liang Haixing came to the window of the conference room, but the scene in front of him made Liang Haixing feel dazed, even terrifying.
