The atmosphere of the banquet was warm, but Li Yuanlang was in Cao's camp and his heart was in Han. With the strong wind outside the window and the lightning and thunder, his heart had already flown to Ruozhou City hundreds of kilometers away.

Halfway through the banquet, Li Yuanlang looked at the time and guessed that Cheng Yong and the others should return to Ruozhou at this time.

So he took advantage of the opportunity to go to the toilet and called Cheng Yong.

Cheng Yong quickly answered the call and told him that he had arrived in Ruozhou City and was rushing to the typhoon prevention command center located in the municipal government.

Li Yuanlang said take care of himself and hung up the phone.

The banquet lasted for more than two hours before it ended.

As soon as Li Yuanlang returned to his room, he received a call from Liu Dong, saying that Secretary Zhou asked him to come over.

It rained tonight, and Zhou Xujie drank a lot of wine. Before he went home, he stayed in his dedicated room in the guesthouse to rest.

Under the guidance of Liu Dong, Li Yuanlang walked into Zhou Xujie's room.

"Comrade Yuen Long is here, sit down." Zhou Xujie poured it into the sofa, touched his sparse hair, and said with deep emotion: "Wine capacity has decreased inversely with age. I feel dizzy when I drink some wine, which is really no longer the same as before."

"Secretary Zhou, you are still young. According to the new algorithm, you are in your prime."

"Haha." Zhou Xujie smiled happily, pointed at Li Yuanlang and said, "You can even speak flowers when you open your mouth."

Who doesn’t want to listen to nice words? The reason why Li Yuanlang talks is to establish a good relationship with Zhou Xujie.

When he went to Ruozhou, he had to get the support of Zhou Xujie.

Although Lian Mingyu is the governor and the person Yu Jinfeng is focusing on cultivating, Li Yuanlang does not want to put the eggs in a basket.

With multiple friends and multiple roads, it is impossible to offend everyone as soon as you start.

I feel so happy, but it is basically impossible to gain a foothold in Ruozhou in the future.

After talking about gossip, Li Yuanlong made his purpose.

According to the weather forecast, the typhoon will first land in Ruozhou tonight.

Li Yuanlong originally planned to rush to Ruozhou in advance to participate in the defense of the typhoon.

But Zhou Xujie changed the conversation time to after supper, and the typhoon was already raging in Ruozhou, so his thoughts became a terrible one.

After listening to Li Yuanlong's report, Zhou Xujie persuaded: "Comrade Yuen Long, don't be anxious. In this climate in Minzhong Province, there are several typhoons passing through each year. Local comrades have experience in this area. You must believe that they have sufficient emergency plans."

"Go back early to rest, and go to Ruozhou to take office tomorrow with a hundredfold energy. This day is busy, I am really tired."

After Zhou Xujie said this, Li Yuanlang had to get up and say goodbye.

When he returned to the room, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he put his hands on the phone countless times, but he didn't call it out in the end.

I guess everyone is very busy. Li Yuanlang has not yet taken office. At this time, remote control is participating in command, just pointing fingers.

At this moment, the window was filled with strong winds and heavy rain continued to fall.

Li Yuanlang was restless and lying on the bed toss and turned, unable to fall asleep.

After more than an hour of struggle, I fell asleep.

I don’t know how long it took, but my phone suddenly rang.

Li Yuanlang suddenly sat up. After answering, Cheng Yong's anxious voice came from inside: "Li, Secretary Li is not good, something happened."

"Don't worry, just say it slowly."

According to Cheng Yong's report, due to proper response, the typhoon did not cause much damage overall last night. However, a five-story building located in Ruo'an District collapsed, and all living there were migrant workers from other places who came to Ruozhou.

Thirty-six people have been rescued, ten people are seriously injured, twenty people are left in hospital for treatment, five people have been killed, and eight people are missing.

The thing that I worry most is still happening.

Li Yuanlang was completely sleepy and washed his face so that he could wake up.

When he saw that it was already six:30 in the morning, he picked up the phone and dialed Lian Mingyu directly.

Hearing Li Yuanlang's statement, Lian Mingyu said: "I just heard that, we will report to Secretary Zhou now."

So after the two met, they went directly to the door of Zhou Xujie's room upstairs.

Zhou Xujie also received the news and made a quick decision, proposing that Li Yuanlang go to Ruozhou first to take office and deal with emergencies.

Instructions were also made, requiring the Ruozhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government to search for missing persons and minimize losses.

He also sent Vice Governor Ji Xian as the team leader, and worked with relevant provincial government departments to rush to Ruozhou City immediately.

Lian Mingyu also told Li Yuanlang a few words and reminded him to pay attention to safety.

Li Yuanlang didn't care about breakfast, so he boarded the minibus and rushed to Ruozhou City with Ji and Ji Xianlai.

Along the way, Li Yuanlong noticed that after the invasion of the storm last night, there were broken trees on both sides of Minchuan Road.

Relevant departments are undergoing emergency repairs.

Minchuan is like this, I don’t know what Ruozhou looks like.

Isn’t it said that local comrades have experience in this area, and they are preventing everything from taking precautions, but there are still casualties.

Although it is a natural disaster, are there any human factors here?

His heart was so chaotic that Ji Xian came to talk to him and didn't react for a while.

"Secretary Li, from what I know, this building collapse accident was because the building here was an illegal building. The local competent department has come to him to make rectifications many times, but the owner turned a blind eye to it."

Li Yuanlang has already known these faxes sent by Cheng Yong. He said: "It is unquestionable that the owner has the responsibility. However, our relevant departments have only come to him to demolish illegal buildings many times, and have not taken substantial demolition actions."

"The first priority now is to seize the time to search and rescue the missing persons and seize the favorable opportunity of the golden seventy-two hours. In addition, investigating the cause of the accident can be carried out at the same time. Vice Governor Ji, what do you think?"

Ji Xian nodded, "I agree."

It was 230 kilometers from Minchuan to Ruozhou. The whole journey was highway and there was a police car leading the way. It took a little more than two hours. The general outline of Ruozhou City appeared in front of Li Yuanlang.

As the rain passed, the streets of Ruozhou City were obviously cleaned up, but the broken trees on both sides of the road were much more than those on Minchuan, which was enough to imagine how violent the wind was last night and how heavy the rain was.

The convoy drove to the Ruozhou Municipal Party Committee Courtyard.

Mayor Zou Shengxuan, who had received the news before, led relevant leaders from all over the city to wait in front of the building.

Li Yuanlang and Ji Xianlai got off the minibus one after another, saved the greetings, and went directly to the conference room for a meeting to wait for the report.

The heads of relevant departments of Ruozhou City reported the progress of the on-site search and rescue to the municipal party committee and municipal government leaders through video.

This is a five-story self-built house, and the entire building collapsed and almost razed to the ground.

At present, three people have been excavated, one of them was killed, one died on the way to the hospital, and one is being rescued.

Li Yuanlang ordered the microphone and asked them to continue searching without delaying a minute or a second.

Afterwards, he held a meeting with everyone on site to study and listen to the losses after the typhoon.

From beginning to end, Li Yuanlang frowned and his face was gloomy.

While giving instructions, Li Yuanlang said sharply: "Natural disasters are irresistible, but what I want to say is that after making enough plans before, why did the tragedy of building collapse still occur? What does it mean? It means that the plan is not detailed enough and is far from achieving the goal of reducing the safety of people's lives and property."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanlang was excited and knocked on the table with his hands.

Zou Shengxuan, who was beside him, looked ashen and couldn't help biting his cheek.

Many of the others present lowered their heads.

Li Yuanlang picked up the teacup and sucked it. After putting it down, he said in a calm tone: "Of course, no one wants to see a major casualty accident."

"I know that comrades stayed in their respective positions overnight yesterday, and everyone worked hard. But have you ever thought that the seven dead people are seven living lives. They are the children of their parents, the parents of their children, the main source of income for a family, and the pillars."

"Losing them will make the family no longer happy, life no longer happy, lack joy, and lack reunion. Compared with you, this hard work is nothing!"

"So, I ask comrades to ask themselves and reflect on themselves. In the process of disaster prevention, they have done things in a good manner or not in place."

It’s not that Li Yuanlang is so angry. Yesterday, he heard Han Duan’s report and felt that Ruozhou was fully prepared in this regard.

But a five-story building collapsed in the strong wind and heavy rain. Isn’t it a tofu project?

The relevant departments discovered it and came to the door to propose rectification again and again. However, until something happened, seven people died, and the rectification was still verbally.

After Li Yuanlang finished speaking, he turned his face and asked Zou Shengxuan beside him, "Do you have any more to add?"

Zou Shengxuan took a deep breath and said angrily: "Secretary Li's speech just now touched me. Since there was a casualty accident, no matter how much effort you made before, how many nights you have been able to hold a few meetings to study disaster prevention plans, modify them over and over again, implement them one by one, and refine them to everyone's heads, and ultimately they will not be able to lose seven lives."

"On behalf of the municipal government and the municipal typhoon defense command, I fully accept Secretary Li's criticism."
