Chapter 380: The top priority is to appease the people
……
There was a drizzle in the gray sky.
A group of civilians stood outside the cordon in front of the Governor's Mansion with yellow banners in hand.
Although the rain was not heavy, it had already drenched all these people.
"Please give us an explanation of the virus this time."
"The virus was caused by your consent to develop the slums of the imperial capital, and now the virus may spread to Huadu, please give us an explanation."
"Yes! We're going to explain! ”
“……”
The shouts came and went.
Ye Nanyi and Gu Ran sat side by side in the back of a black red flag car, watching this scene through the window.
The car drove past the gate of the Governor's Mansion and detoured to another hidden path, and the guards saw the incoming vehicle and made a way.
The car twisted and turned, and finally drove into the capital palace.
At this moment, Gu Xiao was already overwhelmed by the shouts outside.
Although he had already arranged for someone to deal with it when the matter first came out, he still let the people hear the rumors.
Next Monday is the general election, and there is such a thing today, and if you don't give an explanation to the people, it will inevitably affect the election.
But he promised Li Beihan that he couldn't move Ye Nanyi.
How do you give this explanation now?
There is no way to solve the panic in the hearts of the people.
He propped his hands on the back of the sofa chair, and for a moment his face was embarrassed.
At this moment, the sound of high heels came from far and near.
"The priority now is to reassure the population." Gu Ran stepped closer.
Hearing Gu Ran's voice, Gu Xiao raised her head in surprise, she didn't expect her to come.
But as soon as he saw Gu Ran clearly, he saw that there was a person behind her.
Ye Nanyi?
"Why did you bring her with you?" Gu Xiao's brows furrowed even deeper.
"I'm sorry Gu Shoutong, I insisted on coming, I wanted to help you solve the problem. As Mr. Gu said, the top priority now is to appease the people. ”
Will he not know? Need a little girl to teach him how to do things?
Gu Xiao pursed her lips, not wanting to talk to her.
If it weren't for her, there wouldn't be everything we have today.
Although he also knew in his heart that the virus outbreak might not have anything to do with her at all, it was also because of the development of slums.
"There's a part of the Chamber of Commerce now withdrawing from this election, and that's not good for you." Gu Ran said businessmanlikely, "If there is too much problem on the people's side, this election will not be successful." ”
"It's not better to be unsuccessful." Gu Xiao said in a voice that only two people could hear.
What?
Gu Ran thought she had misheard and frowned at him, but it was true that the attitude she had shown in the past few years was indeed the same.
She just didn't want Si Rui to be the leader, as for Gu Xiao......
Since she supported it then, she still supports it now.
Gu Xiao didn't see the attitude he wanted on Gu Ran's face, don't look over, "You guys go back, I'll solve this matter by myself......"
"The best solution to this problem is your positive response." Ye Nanyi took two steps forward and said his thoughts.
"A positive response? Is it for me to admit that this virus is the result of my agreement to develop the slums? Gu Xiao felt a little ridiculous.
Does she know that once he does this, and the people don't buy it, then this matter will be used by people with intentions and become the most critical vote to hammer him to death.
"I say the positive response so I want you to explain what you've done for the people since the beginning of the virus."
"I think Ye Nanyi is right, instead of delaying denial, it is better to boldly admit it now to win the favor of the people." Gu Ran added.
Gu Xiao took a deep breath, although she hadn't heard Gu Ran talk to him in a good voice for a long time, but looking at her posture, why did she have to stand on this little girl's side?
Without waiting for Gu Xiao to refute, Ye Nanyi quickly added, "If you were a good leader who was wronged during the election, what would be the reaction of the people?" ”
The root cause of the virus does not necessarily come from the slums, and it may not have anything to do with the development of slums per se.
At the same time that she washed herself, Gu Xiao naturally washed herself.
Gu Xiao lowered her eyes and pondered.
After some entanglement, he took a deep breath and straightened his suit, his masseter muscles trembling slightly, as if he was making some kind of major choice.
A few minutes later.
A well-trained armed army came out of the Governor's Palace. Things are lined up in a row.
Gu Xiao appeared in the public eye in a smoky gray suit, he stood straight, almost twenty or thirty meters away from the people, surrounded by bodyguards in front of and behind him.
The secretary tried to hold an umbrella for him, but he insisted on standing in the rain.
In a few moments, the rain wet his gray hair.
All kinds of media rushed to interview them, and the microphone was handed to the elderly.
"Prime Minister, you have finally come forward, what do you think about the spread of the virus to Huadu?"
"Chief, do you have any primary responsibility for this virus?"
"What do you think of the slum development incident, and what benefits did you gain by privately agreeing to develop the slums? Did someone coerce you into doing so? ”
"Please give us a clear answer to these things."
“……”
Gu Xiao took a few steps forward, and even though the secretary deliberately made a sound to stop him, he still stepped forward.
He didn't speak first, but bowed apologetically and deeply to the people.
"I'm sorry to have left you in the rain for so long. As the leader, it was my fault to let today's incident happen, and I apologize to everyone. ”
The crowd that had been clamoring before suddenly fell silent for the most part.
How could they get the prime minister to come forward and apologize to them?
For a while, the banners in his hands were silently taken back.
"In less than 24 hours after the incident, I have arranged for people to go to the airport, railway station and long-distance bus station in Huadu for emergency screening and testing as soon as possible.
Anyone who came to Huadu from the imperial capital or a city near the imperial capital urgently arranged quarantine monitoring to ensure the safety of the people of Huadu. ”
"Similarly, for some time to come, every city will issue the latest directives to maintain static management to ensure that the spread of the virus is under control.
As for the transmission channels and sources of the virus itself, the Prime Minister's Office is investigating and will do its best to give an explanation to the Chinese people. ”
Gu Xiao said these words sincerely, but some people still didn't buy it.
The reporter also continued to ask: "But we heard that the development of slums is led by the Li consortium, do you have any profit-seeking dealings with the Li consortium?" ”
