Chapter 1 New Opportunity Originally, the deputy mayor in charge would go to the village with Xiao Zheng to inspect the mine safety, but the plan could not keep up with the change. A deputy mayor of the county had to go to a company for investigation temporarily, and the deputy mayor was called to accompany him.
Xiao Zheng had no choice but to rush to the village alone.
Without the blessing of the leaders in charge, the village secretary and village chief did not regard Xiao Zheng as a cadre.
Not only did Xiao Zheng not accompany him to the mine, but when Xiao Zheng returned to the village alone to point out the problem, the village party secretary said he had to leave in advance.
The village chief discussed matters with a cement factory owner and asked Xiao Zheng to wait outside.
After waiting for more than two hours, the sky had already darkened.
Xiao Zheng thought to himself, the people in the village are all snobbish. If I had an official position, how dare they ignore me like this? It's a pity that after working in the town for seven years, Xiao Zheng is still an ordinary cadre.
No wonder people don't take him as an onion.
Xiao Zheng looked out from the village committee building and saw a trace of water vapor floating in the air. He came here on a motorcycle and didn't bring a raincoat. If he didn't finish his errands and rush back, he wouldn't be able to leave.
Xiao Zheng couldn't bear it anymore and walked to the door of the village chief's office, intending to knock on the door.
Unexpectedly, the door opened from the inside.
The village chief and the cement factory owner came out talking and laughing.
When the village chief saw Xiao Zheng outside the door, he was startled and pretended to be surprised and asked: "Cadre Xiao, you haven't returned to town yet?"
Xiao Zheng was unhappy, but he still said: "Village Chief Liu, you asked me to wait outside.
"Is that so?"
Village Chief Liu responded: "It's late today, you should go back to town first.
Xiao Zheng said: "Village Chief Liu, I didn't want to stay here originally, but today I found several safety hazards in the mine, and I must explain them clearly to you."
"The stone mine in Fengqi Village had a series of safety accidents some time ago, resulting in tragedies involving broken arms and legs.
The county security department has been keeping an eye on it. If someone is killed, not to mention Xiao Zheng, even the deputy mayor in charge may be punished or even fired.
Also on the way here today, he discovered a mountain on the highway that was prone to landslides due to the destruction of vegetation by mining.
This is no joke.
Therefore, there is no deputy mayor today, so Xiao Zheng must come.
But the owner of the cement factory next to him said: "Cadre Xiao, it's past five o'clock now, and we are all hungry. I want to invite Village Chief Liu to dinner now. If you have anything to do, come back tomorrow to discuss it."
"This cement factory owner is also a snobbish person. He didn't invite Xiao Zheng to dinner. He just thought that he was a small cadre and his invitation was in vain.
Xiao Zheng ignored the cement factory owner and said, "Village Chief Liu, this matter is really no joke.
If another death occurs in the quarry, we may all be held accountable, and we may even face a lawsuit!"
But the owner of the cement factory said: "Cadre Xiao, who are you talking about to scare people like this? The quarry in the next town has a man who died not long ago, but it is still running smoothly? There is nothing wrong with opening a quarry.
Something happened? Are you going to be sued? Who are you trying to scare?"
The owner of this cement factory has absolutely no safety awareness and is still trying to be smart.
Xiao Zheng wanted to tell Village Chief Liu again, but he didn't expect Village Chief Liu to also say: "Cadre Xiao, don't just hold me back.
These words of yours should be spoken by you, Deputy Mayor Jin, and by our Party Secretary Yu.
What’s the use of the two of us here if the emperor doesn’t worry about the eunuchs!”
The owner of the cement factory gave a thumbs up and said: "Village Chief Liu is right.
This matter is like this today.
Cadre Xiao, please don't delay Village Chief Liu and I as we go to dinner. We have guests waiting for us! Goodbye, goodbye.
"With that said, the cement factory manager protected Village Chief Liu and walked out.
Xiao Zheng knew that in the village, the mines and the cement factory were closely related, and it was normal for the owner of the cement factory to invite village cadres to eat and drink.
Village Chief Liu has said this, and Xiao Zheng can't stop them no matter how hard he tries. This can only be blamed on his lack of position and status, and they don't pay attention to you at all.
Xiao Zheng arrived outside the village committee building, and raindrops began to fall from the sky. When Xiao Zheng thought that he did not bring a raincoat, he quickly shouted to Village Chief Liu and wanted to borrow a raincoat from him.
However, Village Chief Liu was hiding from the plague. As soon as he heard his voice, he immediately got into the cement factory owner's Santana and drove away in a hurry.
The rain came unexpectedly, and this time it poured down.
Xiao Zheng could only wait. The rain was so heavy that the sediment from the mine was washed down and turned into a yellow mud soup in front of the village committee building.
This time, it actually rained for more than an hour, and the raindrops subsided a little.
The phone suddenly rang, and it was my girlfriend Chen Hong.
Xiao Zheng suddenly thought of an important thing. Today is Chen Hong's mother's birthday. He had agreed to celebrate his aunt's birthday. He also ordered a cake in the county seat, but he was busy with production safety and forgot about it.
.
Xiao Zheng hurriedly picked up the phone and explained: "Chen Hong, I'm sorry, I'm still in the village, there are too many things going on today.
Chen Hong's voice was cold: "It doesn't matter, my mother told you not to come."
Xiao Zheng said hurriedly: "No, no, I've already ordered the cake."
Chen Hong said: "There's really no need to come. You can eat the cake by yourself."
Even if you come, my mother won't open the door.
She heard someone say that you were doing poorly in the town, and your boss assigned you to work at the safety supervision station, which was very risky. If there was an accident in the mine, your job might be ruined.
"Who said that?"
Xiao Zheng still cherishes Chen Hong.
“As long as we control things strictly and well, it won’t be a big deal.
"Xiao Zheng can only lie to himself.
Chen Hong said: "Okay, our family is about to start eating. If you are in the village, it will be too late to come over. Let's just do it today.
"After saying that, Chen Hong hung up the phone.
Xiao Zheng silently looked at the simple button phone, thinking that Chen Hong's mother had some misunderstandings about him, so he still had to fight for it.
First, you have to go to the county town to get the cake, and then deliver it to your door. The other party may forgive you for being late because of your sincerity, and get to know yourself again.
Xiao Zheng rode on his motorcycle, which was soaked by the rain, and got on the road from the village to the county seat.
The road was very slippery after it rained, and Xiao Zheng did not dare to drive slowly for fear of completely missing his aunt's birthday.
The sky was completely dark and the road was soaked. Xiao Zheng stared ahead carefully. Suddenly he saw a huge lightning in the sky in front of him, like a blue electric phoenix.
Xiao Zheng thought of a legend. It is said that a phoenix came to this "Fengqi Village".
The lightning just now really looked like a phoenix! Could it be that a phoenix landed in the village today? Just as I was thinking wildly, the lightning fell and hit a mountain, followed by deafening thunder that resounded throughout the world.
Xiao Zheng almost fell off the motorcycle. Fortunately, he was careful and stabilized the motorcycle's handle and did not fall.
Then he heard the sound of something heavy falling in front of him.
What happened in front? A mountain collapse? When Xiao Zheng slowed down and rode his motorcycle around the foot of a mountain, he suddenly saw two lights shining in front of him, which were dazzling.
A closer look revealed that the ground was covered with rubble. An Audi A6 with a provincial license plate was anchored under the mountain. It seemed that it had been hit by the landslide, and half of the roof of the car had sunk in.
Xiao Zheng paid more attention to the cars coming from the provincial capital.
Will there be any casualties? Xiao Zheng quickly stopped his motorcycle and ran over while paying attention to the mountain.
If a rock falls down, I'm afraid he will be shattered to pieces, but there must be someone in the car in front of him. Xiao Zheng is a town cadre and cannot ignore it.
As he ran, he shouted: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone?"
"have.
"A soft female voice responded with pain.
"My car was hit by a rock and couldn't move.
"Sure enough, there was a landslide and the female driver was injured.
Xiao Zheng ran up and couldn't see clearly the injuries of the people in the car.
Xiao Zheng asked: "Are you okay? Can you move? It's too dangerous here, we have to leave as soon as possible.
"At this time, life is the most important thing.
The woman responded: "I'm stuck and can't move.
"At this moment, another burst of stone powder fell from the mountain. Obviously, a second landslide may occur at any time.
Xiao Zheng suddenly thought that he was going to his girlfriend's house and had to pick up the cake. If he delayed here, the consequences would be serious.
However, he just couldn't leave the people in the car alone.
He quickly ran to the occupied side and pulled the door hard, but it couldn't be opened. The car body was twisted and deformed, and the door was stuck.
Several more rocks fell and hit the roof of the car. The woman inside shouted: "It may be landslide again, please leave me alone."
It would be better for two to die than one.
"Xiao Zheng was also anxious, but he shouted inside: "Don't talk nonsense, I am a town cadre, how can I ignore death?
"As he said this, he shouted loudly and used brute force to pull open the car door.
Inside, the woman was wrapped in a seat belt. Xiao Zheng pulled hard but couldn't pull it away.
At this time, a clicking sound came from the top of the mountain.
Xiao Zheng looked up and felt a thump in his heart! Oops, it's going to collapse! Xiao Zheng immediately calmed down, checked the woman by the car lights, and then said: "I want to turn you around, you have to cooperate with me,
I'll carry you out.
"When the woman heard the word "hug", she felt a little shy, but now her life is at stake, why should he care about these little details.
The woman nodded.
Xiao Zheng moved the woman's body and turned her around in the car. His hand touched her body, but he had no scruples at all.
At this moment, what was in front of him was just a life.
The woman's body was finally turned around, and the seat belt was no longer wrapped around her.
Xiao Zheng quickly hugged the woman, dragged her out of the car, and ran towards the motorcycle.
When they just left the car, a loud "clang, clang, clang, clang" followed. The woman's car was smashed and she was soon "buried alive."
Xiao Zheng took the woman to a safe area, only to find that the woman's calf was injured and bleeding.
Xiao Zheng said: "I want to take you to the county hospital.
But, you have to ride on my motorcycle.
You won’t fall, will you?”
The woman looked at Xiao Zheng's face, nodded and said, "Probably not.
"Xiao Zheng got on the motorcycle and asked the woman to get on too. She hugged him tightly.
At this moment, away from the danger of life and death, Xiao Zheng suddenly felt the girl's warm and soft body sensitively, which made Xiao Zheng's face feel slightly hot...
