"Something big has happened. What big thing has happened? In a small place like Tongzhou City, what else can catch the eye of Director Ye," Meng Qin said softly.
"There's a mining accident, and you don't know yet," Ye Shaofeng asked.
"Mining accident, what kind of mining accident? I have been at the Toyota Hotel all night. I haven't contacted anyone except the waiter who served breakfast here, and there is no newspaper to read. Of course, the news is blocked," Mengqin said, opening the guest room On the TV inside, the morning news had just ended. Of course, she didn't see the specific situation.
Mengqin actually has a family, but she doesn't want to go back. Women like them who engage in art will always be restless in their thoughts.
Especially Meng Qin, who is so beautiful and has something to do with the officialdom, she won't stay at home peacefully.
Ye Shaofeng said: "Those of you who are engaged in literary and artistic work will always only know the sunny side of this society, but this is fine, you can live quite comfortably."
"What Director Ye said, I don't know if you are praising me or ridiculing me. Where are you now? I heard that you are also staying at Fengtian Hotel. If nothing happens, I will go find you now. , you are in that room," Mengqin said.
"Forget it, forget it, I have something to do now and have already gone out. Let's see you another day,"
"Then let's go to night, how about tonight," Mengqin said.
"Let's talk when I get back tonight," After saying that, Ye Shaofeng didn't wait for the woman to hang up the phone, so he got off the phone. The phone hung up, and Ye Shaofeng hurried downstairs after hanging up.
After waiting at the hotel gate for a while, Ding Zirui drove up in an imported Toyota Overbearing 2700 with a provincial newspaper entry permit.
There are many mountainous roads in Tongzhou City. In this place, whether it is the government or the company, the unified car distribution is basically Toyota, and the higher-level ones are Land Cruisers.
Because this kind of car has extremely strong off-road performance, and is relatively low-key, not as eye-catching as Mercedes-Benz and BMW. Whether it is post-maintenance or repair, it is relatively cost-effective. The most important thing is that this kind of car can withstand harsh conditions. .
The ordinary Audi A6L starts to have minor problems after being driven back and forth on such mountain roads for two or three years. The maintenance cost is relatively high. No matter what company it is, when it reports to the financial department every year, it will be enough in one year. Maintenance costs are not small. Sometimes if you offend the leader and the leader does not approve it, then your unit or department will have to pay for the maintenance costs.
Nowadays, departments or units are not allowed to have small treasury. If there is no small treasury, the leaders have to pay for it themselves, or all employees have their salaries deducted.
Because of this kind of thing, there are a lot of complaints from employees. Therefore, there are basically very few public cars in Tongzhou City now. They are basically all the same, overbearing or Land Cruiser. In private families, there are beautiful cars with less money. Buy a Mitsubishi Pajero, or if you have more money, get a Land Rover Freelander, or a Jeep Wrangler, those coal bosses, the local tycoons, basically all kinds of Land Rover Range Rover, or Mercedes-Benz G-Class, of course, the Lexus 5700 is not an exception. Down.
Imported vehicles are driving on the streets of Tongzhou City. The roads are basically filled with various off-road vehicles. The roads here, which go up and down, are originally roads in mountainous areas, so the requirements for vehicles are relatively high.
If there were no coal mines here, I don't know how poor this place would be. However, since ancient times, Xishan Province has been a place where merchants have emerged. There are more than one or two wealthy merchants here.
The Qiao Family Courtyard, Li Family Courtyard, and Shi Family Courtyard are basically businessmen from Xishan Province who were once famous and wealthy.
However, from ancient times to the present, Xishan Province has a very obvious characteristic, that is, the gap between rich and poor is extremely large.
In the past, there were a lot of awesome businessmen, but there were definitely a lot of beggars. Now, there are coal bosses and local tycoons emerging in endlessly. However, they are so poor that they can't even afford a house. They have to earn money to live in love. There are also many poor people living in low-rent housing.
This area has created such a social phenomenon, so it is difficult for officials here to weigh it. It is impossible for him to let all the people in Xishan Province come to mine. He can only make a few rich people get richer. Their government , Only then can you earn political achievements, and only those who are officials can get praise from their superiors.
This is the case in an official-based country. Officials always want to climb up, and the best way to climb up is not to govern the people well, but to make the rich here richer. They How people become rich must be based on the fact that poor people have even less money.
In this mining accident, the eight people who died were all absentees from the lowest level of society. The dozen people who were seriously injured were all absentees from the lowest level of society. The hundreds of people trapped inside were also from this society. Absenteeism at the lowest level.
What they do is the hardest, most tiring, and their boss is still far away on the sunny beaches of the United States, enjoying the exotic customs, the beautiful hula dancers, the blue sea and the blond hair beside him. The foreign girl.
This is the gap. This is not a fictional scene only found in novels, nor is it the society depicted in movies. This is actually the state of the real society we live in.
No one insists on vilifying him, and no one insists on criticizing him. We just want to say some facts when we write books. Who knows, these facts turn out to be true. Some things, I say are false, and I feel sorry for them. My own words, but I said it was true and felt too sad.
After the car arrived at the scene of the accident, Ye Shaofeng and Ding Zirui got out of the car. Ding Zirui also brought a cameraman with him.
After getting off the car, Ding Zirui looked at the many people in front of him, including rescuers, onlookers, people looking for their relatives, and many people from the news media like him.
Seeing these people and the group of serious-looking armed policemen behind the long cordon that had formed in front of them, Ding Zirui seemed to have retreated.
With the press card of the party newspaper, he can definitely pass the obstruction of the armed police officers, but what can he do after entering? It has no news value. He can't go there to take pictures of the ruins and those that have appeared hundreds of thousands of times in the camera. Yes, it is a common news scene of leaders commanding rescue and rescue soldiers actively rushing to the front line.
There are simply too many such shots to stand out at all. To stand out, there must be more explosive news.
Ding Zirui looked at Ye Shaofeng, as if he was learning from Ye Shaofeng and wanted him to give him advice on how to find breaking news.
At this time, Ye Shaofeng called Mayor Wang Jianjiang who was still at the scene...
