Hu Xiaoying did not return to her room. She went to the VIP building. She went to Mayor Jin Borong's floor and told the waiter that she was looking for Mayor Jin. Hu Xiaoying had been staying in Jingzhou Hotel for a while, so of course the waiter knew Hu Xiaoying. She was just a waitress.
It's very strange why Hu Xiaoying suddenly came to see Mayor Jin today. Hu Xiaoying had never been to Mayor Jin's room before. This may be mainly due to two leaders, one is a male and the other is a female.
The waitress went to report to Mayor Jin. Mayor Jin walked out of the room and said: "Secretary Hu, it's rare, it's rare, come here." Hu Xiaoying walked forward with a smile on her face. Mayor Jin's room is
A suite was divided into a living room and a bedroom. The two entered the room and the waiter poured them tea. Mayor Jin did not let the waiter close the door. The waitress left the door open and walked out.
Mayor Jin said: "Secretary Hu, you haven't had a rest yet. It's really rare that you come to see me so late." Hu Xiaoying said: "Yes, I am really incompetent as a subordinate. Mayor Jin will arrive in Jingzhou soon."
It’s been two years and I haven’t come here to see Mayor Jin.” Mayor Jin sighed: “Yes, time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, it will be two years since I arrived in Jingzhou. Soon,
I’m leaving Jingzhou too.”
Hu Xiaoying said: "Mayor Jin, before you leave Jingzhou, why don't you do something for the people of Jingzhou? The people of Jingzhou will definitely remember Mayor Jin for a long time." Jin Borong got to the point so quickly when he heard that Hu Xiaoying
, looked up at Hu Xiaoying.
Since the sound insulation effect of the windows is very good, although it is still raining outside the room, the room cannot hear clearly. But it is different in Xiaoxi Street, an old residential area in Jingzhou City. Here, all residents’ houses
They were all soaked with water. There were two-story houses, and a whole family was huddled upstairs. But there were also many families who only lived on the first floor, and the rainwater had already soaked half of the table corners. The rainwater pattered on the roof.
There was a harsh, chilling sound coming from the tiles.
In one of the homes, the whole family was crowded into a small room. Water was dripping from a corner of the room. An old couple, about sixty years old, and their daughter and son-in-law were there. The daughter Lu Ping said: "Old man
Dad, Mom, you'd better move out, there's no way to live here. This house might collapse soon!" The old citizen said: "If we don't move, everyone won't move. If we move, in the future,
I will never have the face to come back!”
Daughter Lu Ping said: "Dad, Mom, our family's situation is different from other families. Grandma is still sleeping on the bed. If you don't go out to take shelter, if the house collapses, do you have to watch her buried under the rubble?"
"?" The old citizen said: "This cannot be blamed on us. This is blamed on the government competing for profits with the people. It gives us such a small amount of compensation for demolition, but we cannot move at all.
After moving, we can only drink from the northwest wind. The neighbors in our area are the same. We would rather be buried under the rubble than surrender. I think this time the government wants to watch us die.
Then we will die in front of them..."
I only heard a crash, followed by a "bang bang" sound. The sound was not small, and the whole family was shocked. It turned out that a wall on the left neighbor had collapsed. Then they heard the neighbor shouting: "The wall is down."
The wall has collapsed. Let's go outside." "We can't go, we won't go out even if we are buried here, we go to hide, maybe the government will send someone to take the opportunity to knock down all our houses." Zuo.
The neighbor also sounded desperate.
Lu Ping, the daughter of an old citizen, said: "Dad, if you don't want to die, why don't you let your daughter and son-in-law be buried under the wall tiles with you?" The old citizen said: "You have your own house, go back quickly.
It’s not safe here. Our two old lives are at stake with a government that doesn’t care about the people. You should go back quickly. If anything happens to us, the government will pay you money in the future, which will be enough for you for the rest of your life!”
Lu Ping almost cried and said: "We want your people, not your money!"
The old citizen still couldn't think about it and said: "We can't leave. Our entire area has signed a joint petition. We want to leave together and stay together. If the government doesn't give an explanation, we can't leave." Seeing such stubbornness.
As a father and mother, Lu Ping could only shed tears.
She suddenly remembered an idea and said to her father: "Dad, what I said is useless. I'll call Sister Xiaoying and ask her to talk to you!" When the citizen heard that her daughter was going to call Hu Xiaoying, her expression changed.
She pondered, and then said: "It's useless for you to call her. Hu Xiaoying is no longer the Hu Xiaoying she used to be. She is no longer the little girl who rented with us when she just graduated. She is now the deputy secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.
He won't care about our sufferings, and he will never speak up for the people again. When you become an official, people will become different. You'd better not make this call."
Her daughter Lu Ping could not find any other solution. The only thing she could think of was to call Hu Xiaoying, whom she had not contacted for a long time. Fortunately, Hu Xiaoying's phone number had not changed and the call was connected. Lu Ping was still a little excited. After all, she
The person they want to talk to is no longer Sister Xiaoying, who once rented their house, but Hu Xiaoying, who has become the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. As a commoner, Lu Ping can be completely ignored by her.
Jin Borong raised his head after listening to Hu Xiaoying's words: "Secretary Hu, I understand what you mean. You hope that I can support you in evacuating the citizens of Xiaoxi Street. However, even if I support it, we only have three people on the Standing Committee.
In addition, those citizens do not agree to the evacuation, so there is nothing we can do."
Hu Xiaoying said: "Mayor Jin, have you ever considered that if a lot of lives are really lost, no one in our team can escape responsibility." Jin Borong said: "I don't know this. But now Secretary Tan disagrees.
The evacuation was also approved by the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. We are leading cadres and members of the team.
We must adhere to democratic centralism and the minority must obey the majority.”
Hu Xiaoying said: "Mayor Jin, this is a big issue of right and wrong. It is a matter of human life! It cannot be wrong! Human life is at stake." Jin Borong said: "Of course I know. But the more important this issue is, the bigger the issue of right and wrong.
Above, the more we must obey the collective leadership. If we obey, even if we are wrong, the organization will understand us. After all, on this matter, Secretary Hu, you have made your clear position clear. As for me, I have reserved it.
My own opinion. Secretary Tan and the others advocated no evacuation. If we want to hold them accountable, we will hold them accountable as well. We are passively obeying and we cannot be held accountable!"
Hu Xiaoying thought to herself that this was what Jin Borong thought, so he was not in a hurry. He was thinking about who was responsible, not about human life. At this time, Hu Xiaoying's phone rang. It showed Lu Ping. This was her
On mobile phones, there are only a few ordinary people.
This commoner on Xiaoxi Street was only in her twenties when she met her. Now Hu Xiaoying is over forty. However, it is not easy for her to forget the people on Xiaoxi Street. Hu Xiaoying ignored talking to Jin Borong and just
Lu Ping answered the phone. With a pleading voice, Lu Ping asked Hu Xiaoying to help their neighbors on Xiaoxi Street. The walls of some houses had begun to collapse. Those old citizens were really dissatisfied with the low demolition price given by the government and did not want to live in Xiaoxi Street.
When they move out, she hopes Hu Xiaoying will help them, otherwise the consequences here will be disastrous. The house here is really not strong, and it will definitely fall into pieces if it collapses.
Hu Xiaoying kept answering "Yeah" and "Yeah". She said she would try her best and she said she would think of a solution. But she also said that this problem may not be that simple. She also asked Lu Ping to do some work on the issue of demolition compensation.
, can we let it go first, evacuate for a while, and wait until the waterlogging is over before talking about anything else. Lu Ping said that she has been persuading her parents, but the citizens of Xiaoxi Street have agreed,
If we want to go together, or if we want to stay together, she has no choice.
Hu Xiaoying knew those old residents, and what Lu Ping should have told was the truth. It would not be helpful for her to talk to Lu Ping anymore, so she said she would think of another way, and then hung up the phone. Hu Xiaoying said to Jin Borong: "Jin Borong
Mayor, some houses on Xiaoxi Street have begun to collapse! The consequences may be really serious."
Jin Borong also showed an anxious look when he heard this. He said to Hu Xiaoying: "But you can't evacuate them now unless you increase the compensation for demolition. Compensation for demolition is a big issue, and neither of us can agree to their conditions in private."
Ah, tell me, otherwise, the consequences will be serious, and maybe we will be punished for abusing our power."
Hu Xiaoying insisted: "However, the lives of so many people are at stake now. If we don't take the responsibility, who else will." Jin Borong looked at Hu Xiaoying and said: "Secretary Hu, at this critical moment, the more calm we have to be.
.If you can't stand it at this time and do something that is not in compliance with the procedures, those old residents will not be able to help you when you lose your position. Is it worth it to satisfy their willfulness and make you lose your position?
Secretary Hu, I advise you not to be obsessed with this matter. Those houses will not necessarily collapse; and even if they collapse, someone will pay the price!"
Hu Xiaoying came out of Mayor Jin's room, feeling extremely depressed. She knew that she could not persuade Mayor Jin to support her. She really couldn't think of what she could do on her own. Did she have to single-handedly persuade those people?
Should the citizens evacuate? Maybe one or two people would listen to her, but she really couldn't imagine how many people would listen to her.
Hu Xiaoying returned to the room. She didn't want to sleep at all. She was very anxious and restless in the room. All she could think about was the collapse of those old houses and the fact that the old residents were crushed underneath. It was a big mistake.
Finally, her eyes fell on the mobile phone. She couldn't help but dial Liang Jian's number again. She had nowhere else to talk.
Liang Jian wanted to take a rest, but when he saw Hu Xiaoying calling again, he quickly picked up the phone and said, but the other party did not talk to him immediately. Liang Jian became a little anxious and asked: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
