Behind the scenes

Chapter 19

The dinner was not delicious, so I put down my chopsticks after only a few mouthfuls.My wife thought she was angry with someone at work, and just about to persuade her, she shook her head, didn't even watch TV, and fell asleep alone, from 11:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. no. At [-]:[-], the phone rang. She picked it up. It was the old man from the school who said that she had just heard a crackling sound on the west side of the building. .Putting down the phone, Zhong Xiuwen put on his clothes and left. His wife was worried, so he took a taxi with her to the school.She first took a look inside the building. From the first floor to the fourth floor, the cracks were already as big as a fist, which looked dangerous.Looking outside again, the foundation on the west side of the building has begun to sink, and the spring rain of the day and night is flowing down the small hole on the side of the foundation.What Zhong Xiuwen was afraid of, what she didn't want to see, appeared mercilessly like this.She and her wife braved the light rain and wandered around the west side of the building until dawn.

Today is the school day for the students, and it is also the day before the start of the new semester. The students have to go to the school to clean up, receive new textbooks, and make all preparations for the formal start of classes tomorrow.Zhong Xiuwen stood at the school gate, looking at the first batch of teachers and students who entered the school gate, with tears in her eyes.Both the teacher and the students nodded at her, saying that the headmaster came early, good morning headmaster.She didn't know how to answer the teacher and classmates, her mind was blank.When she saw the teacher and students happily about to enter the building, she seemed to understand something suddenly, and rushed up quickly, shouting: "Don't go in! Don't go in!" blocked the door.

The teacher and the students all looked at her blankly, not knowing what the principal was going to do.Zhong Xiuwen calmed down and said, "Everyone, don't enter the building yet, stand on the east side of the playground, I have something to say."

At [-]:[-] in the morning, all the teachers and students of the school stood neatly on the east side of the playground.They already knew that there was a serious problem in the new building, and there was no smile on everyone's face.Entrusted by Principal Zhong, the Director of General Affairs called Yijian Company, but Manager Liu Yunna was not there. He told the company office that there was a serious danger in the new school building, please come quickly.He also called the Municipal Construction Committee, and the people from the Construction Committee were not at work at this time. Finally, he called the mayor's public phone number and told them about the danger here.

Zhong Xiuwen stood in front of the teachers and students of the school with a very serious expression, "Students, the new teaching building we have been looking forward to for a long time has a major quality problem, and now it cannot be used. I am as heavy as you are. But no matter what , we can't drop out of school, we still have to attend classes, with me as the principal around for a day, I will do my best."

Facing the rising red sun at [-] o'clock in the morning, it was like watching a movie or TV and blasting an old building. Under the eyes of the teachers and students of Xiangyang Primary School, at [-]:[-], only two muffled sounds were heard. , First, the foundation on the west side of the building sank, and a deep pit appeared, and the entire corner of the west building collapsed in the loud noise of Kaba Kaba.However, due to the connection of steel bars, the west corner of the building did not completely come down.The fourth floor was pressed to the third floor, the third floor was pressed to the second floor, the second floor was pressed to the first floor, and the first floor entered the big pit.

In the quiet gaze, a new building that Zhong Xiuwen had been looking forward to for two years collapsed like this, and she finally couldn't help but burst into tears.When she cried, the students and teachers all started crying.The entire campus echoed with cries...

The 110 patrol car rushed to the school after receiving calls from people around the school.Six police officers jumped out of the police car and rushed into the campus. Hearing the mournful cries of teachers and students, they thought there were heavy casualties and shouted: "Where are the wounded? Where are the wounded?" Xiuwen stepped forward to stop her, "Don't enter the building, there is no one in the building."

"Nobody? Where are the wounded?"

"There are no casualties."

"Why don't the wounded cry?"

"Such a good teaching building has not lived in for a few days, but it collapsed like this. Can we not cry?"

At this time, the ambulance from the emergency center 120 also rushed to the school. Several doctors in white coats were taking stretchers from the ambulance, but they were stopped by a patrolman: "No need to take them, there are no wounded."

The staff of the ambulance center let out a sigh of relief.They looked at the collapsed building and cursed: "Prodigal son, another corrupt project."At this time, a lot of people had gathered outside the school, and more and more people gathered.The reporter from the TV station got the news somehow, rushed to the scene with a camera, and was taking pictures.

At this time, Liu Rong's car drove into the school.As soon as he got to work in the morning, he received an urgent message from the mayor's public phone call, and then rushed here.There was no smile on his iron-blue face, he greeted Principal Zhong, and then went straight to the west side of the teaching building, looked at the corner of the collapsed building and the big crater several meters deep, and said nothing.Hearing Principal Zhong said that there were no casualties, he let out a sigh of relief, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and quickly dialed a few numbers. He was calling Liu Yunna.At this time, Liu Yunna was doing a beauty treatment in the beauty salon, and the caller ID on her mobile phone was Liu Rong's mobile phone number. She turned on the phone and said kindly: "Call me so early, miss me?"

"Where are you?" Liu Rong asked vividly.

"I'm doing beauty treatment, I want to see you this afternoon..."

"Stop talking, come to Xiangyang Elementary School!"

"What happened?"

"What's the matter? The building has collapsed." Liu Rong slapped the ground and turned off the phone.The reporter watching the TV station was interviewing the teachers and students who had just cried, and said impatiently: "Don't do the interview, go back quickly."

Liu Yunna arrived at the school 15 minutes later, it seems that the beauty treatment is really not done, and her face looks very uncomfortable.She looked at Liu Rong's iron-blue face, but didn't dare to say a word. She looked at the west side of the building, walked around inside and outside the building, and said to Liu Rong, "This is impossible. It was the quality inspection station that agreed What did you do. How did it happen?"

"Are you asking me? Who am I asking?" Liu Rong pushed Liu Yunna.Then he said to the director of the municipal construction committee who had just arrived at the scene: "I'm going to talk about this matter in the first place today. I will find out the situation within five days. Within one month, the children will have classes in the new building."

The director of the construction committee said in embarrassment: "Mayor Liu, I can figure out the reason within five days. If not, I can investigate overnight. But within a month, the children will have classes in the new building. I can't do that." ah!"

"If you can't do it, it's your business. If you can't do it, you should report your resignation to the government as soon as possible. It will save you from being dismissed when you get it." When Liu Rong said this, he walked out of the school without saying hello to anyone, and went to his own school. car.

The director of the construction committee watched the mayor's car drive away, and then said to Liu Yunna: "This is good, it's a big disaster, you can figure it out! I have nothing to do."

Liu Yunna said: "It's nothing serious. If it's broken, I'll fix it. Anyway, it didn't hurt anyone."

Li Zimin is also worrying about the next step of the chemical plant these days.In such a large factory, the main line has been stopped, and the next step of resuming production has not yet been settled. What can more than 1000 workers do?How will the company develop in the future?While sitting at the desk thinking hard, the door opened, and Dong Yingjie walked in cheerfully: "Hello, Mayor. I wish you a happy old age."

Li Zimin's eyes lit up, he hurriedly stood up, and shook hands with Dong Yingjie tightly: "You left, why didn't you come back for the Chinese New Year? You don't want to be my secretary anymore, forget about me as an old man!"

"No, no, I didn't go home during the Spring Festival. My child and daughter-in-law went to the provincial capital. I'm busy there, so I can't get away!"

Li Zimin took a closer look at Xiao Dong. After being away for more than two months, he became a little fatter and more energetic.

"Mayor Li, don't just look at your old secretary, look at me too!" Following the voice, Zheng Gang walked in.

"How come you two are so coincidental, one in front of the other, did you come in together and not come in together?" Li Zimin knew that Xiao Dong and Zheng Gang had a very good personal relationship. When he was the mayor, the two of them also secretly The land always goes together.

"Mayor, you are really right! It was Zheng Gang who insisted on asking me to come back. I just visited their factory, and I lost a lot of money! I heard that the municipal party committee has entrusted you with the matter of the General Chemical Plant. Lah, the task is not light!" Xiao Dong said.

"Sit down, sit down, I'm also worried these days."Li Zimin hurriedly asked them to sit down. Just as he was going to pour water, Zheng Gang said: "Mayor, please sit down. We will pour the water ourselves. We are not outside the department when we come to you!" He poured water for Xiao Dong. After a cup of tea, I added some water to Li Zimin's water glass.

Xiao Dong said: "Mayor Li, I came here to see you, and I also bring you an important piece of information. Before the Spring Festival, I went to Shenzhen on a business trip and met Mr. Green, the president of the European ATC company. ATC company is mainly engaged in Chemical production has several branches around the world. Mr. Green wanted to expand his business in China, so he established a Chinese branch in Shenzhen. However, it has been more than half a year, and several projects in Shenzhen and other places have not been negotiated smoothly. He heard that my hometown is Xianghan, so he mentioned the Xianghan Chemical General Factory. I thought he had been to Xianghan, but he said no, he was just interested in this factory, which is the largest carbon disulfide producer in Asia. , and he has a clear picture of the output value and profit of our factory in recent years. It can be seen that he really cares about this company. Now that the chemical plant has an accident, can we use this opportunity to talk to ATC company, if possible , the two parties cooperate to use ATC's funds and technology to establish a joint-stock company, which will benefit both parties, isn't that great!"

"This is really good news. Xiao Dong, you need to get in touch as soon as possible." Li Zimin stood up happily.

"Well, let me just say, Mayor Li will be too happy to sit still after hearing this news. You see, Mayor Li is so happy to stand up now!" Zheng Gang said to Xiao Dong with a smile.

"I have already contacted Shenzhen just now. Mr. Green is not in Shenzhen. He is traveling around China. He may be inspecting enterprises and inspecting the market. I will contact him again when he comes back in a few days. If there is any news, I will I will let you know." Xiao Dong said.

"This matter, you must take it as the top priority. Don't think that you went to the provincial investment company. You are still from our Xianghan City. Xianghan's affairs, you still have to take it as the top priority." Li Zimin He said very seriously to Xiao Dong.

"Mayor, it's almost noon. Let's go out for a meal. Xiao Dong is back. He is not your secretary now, but the acting director of the first investment department of the Provincial Investment Company. For the sake of our chemical plant, this meal must Eat, this time it's my treat." Zheng Gang said with a smile.

"Okay. Eat, you have to eat." Li Zimin happily walked out of his office with the two young people.

The collapse of Xiangyang Elementary School made Liu Rong unhappy all day. In the morning and afternoon, he criticized several groups of people repeatedly, and his attitude was particularly bad.In the evening, I was supposed to have dinner with the Deputy Director of the Provincial Audit Office, but because I was not in the mood, I excused myself.He returned home at six o'clock, his wife didn't know he would come back so early, and the meal was not finished yet, so he lay on the couch in the living room and turned on the remote control switch of the TV, which happened to be the provincial TV station. In the news broadcast, the first news was that Zhao Qingming, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, met with foreign guests, and the second news was that the newly built Xiangyang Primary School in Xianghan City collapsed.On the TV screen are the west corner of the collapsed building, a close-up of a large pit at the top of the building, and scenes of teachers and students crying bitterly.He snapped the TV off, then opened the small phone book, and called the home of the head of the city's TV station.

The director of the TV station was having dinner at home, picked up the phone and heard it was the mayor, and hurriedly said carefully: "Mayor Liu, do you have any important instructions?"

"I can't talk about instructions. Didn't I tell you in the morning that the TV station will not broadcast the building of Xiangyang Primary School for the time being. How did you get to the provincial station? Ah?" Liu Rong lost his temper on the phone .

"Mayor Liu, we didn't stab this. The reporters from the provincial TV station have been in Xianghan for the past two days. They want to cover news about corporate reform and how to sell the company. They got the news early in the morning, so they went to interview it themselves. .” The director of the TV station explained on the phone.

"You know they did the interview, why didn't you stop it? Tell them not to broadcast it on the provincial station?" Liu Rong was obviously dissatisfied with the director's explanation.

"Mayor, you don't know, they don't listen to us at all, they don't care about politics or politics, they just focus on the news and headlines. I also read it just now, if it weren't for the secretary of the provincial party committee to receive foreign guests The news, the Xiangyang Elementary School incident is probably going to hit the headlines. I also heard from the reporter team leader in the province that they will send this news to the news network of CCTV!"

"What?" Liu Rong's hair stood on end when he heard that he was going to be on CCTV's news broadcast. "Listen, no matter what you say, you can't let this news go to the central station, let alone the news broadcast. You go to the province right now, and I don't care if I find a reporter, the director of the station, or the director. , I don’t care how much effort I put in, how much money I spend, what I want is not to be on CCTV. I don’t care about the means, just the result. If you can’t do this well, you don’t want to be the director of the TV station.” Liu Rong After speaking, he slammed the phone down.

Not long after the phone was put down, it rang again. Liu Rong thought it was the director of the TV station who couldn't figure it out, so he called again. He picked up the phone and said loudly, "Didn't you hear what I said clearly? What are you asking?"

He said on the phone, "Mayor Liu, I'm Shen Minglei, director of the Education Committee!"

"Ah, it's Old Shen. I thought it was the phone call just now. What's the matter?"

"Report to Mayor Liu, I just received a call from the director of the Provincial Education Commission asking about the collapse of our Xiangyang Primary School building. I did not say anything according to your intention."

"That's good. That's good." Liu Rong nodded while talking.

"But Mayor Liu, the director of the provincial education committee, said that tomorrow he will send an investigation team to investigate this matter, and asked us to write a report to the province as soon as possible."

"You tell the director of the provincial education committee to call us in a few days. We can investigate the problem clearly, so the investigation team of the provincial education committee should stop coming!"

"I said it, but the director of the provincial education committee said that the investigation team was sent by Governor Xia, not only from the provincial education committee, but also from the provincial supervision department and the provincial construction department. The director of the provincial education committee didn't listen to me. ah!"

"Okay then, just get ready for the reception!" Liu Rong replied coldly and put down the phone.

His wife had already prepared the meals, but he had no appetite at all. After thinking about it, he picked up his briefcase and said to his wife, "I still have things to do, so I won't eat at home." Come to the investigation team.But Liu Yunna's cell phone was not turned on, and no one answered the calls at the office or at home. Where did she go?At this time, does she still have other thoughts?
