When Zhao Xiaobei received the report from the county party committee office, he was investigating land leveling in the towns below.
He immediately rushed back to the county committee and ordered Zhou Zhihua from the Public Security Bureau. Maintain order at the scene, avoid conflicts, and absolutely ensure the safety of people's lives.
Yin Zhihua arrived at the scene as soon as possible.
"Dear citizens, if you have any demands, you can report them to the county committee and county government through normal channels. It is illegal for you to surround the county committee building and disrupt normal office order, and you will be held legally responsible."
The crowd below became even more excited when they heard this. They refuted Yin Zhihua's words one by one. Some people even began to attack the cordon set up by the police, but Zhou Zhihua had been stabilizing the situation and asking the police to exercise restraint. This conflict may have already broken out.
Someone also started shouting below, "We want to see Secretary Zhao of the county party committee. We don't believe you. We want to see Secretary Zhao."
At this time, Zhao Xiaobei had also rushed outside the county party committee compound, but the door was surrounded by people from three levels inside and three outside, and he could not get in at all.
"Xiao Dai, bring me a loudspeaker." Zhao Xiaobei said to his secretary.
Dai Jikui bought a loudspeaker from the supermarket next to the county party committee compound and handed it to Secretary Zhao. Zhao Xiaobei picked up the loudspeaker and started shouting:
"Dear people, I am Zhao Xiaobei, Secretary of the Anfeng County Party Committee. You can tell me anything you want, but please speak one by one first. In this way, I can't hear your appeal clearly."
The people at the scene all looked this way when they heard Zhao Xiaobei's voice. He also took advantage of the situation and gave way to Zhao Xiaobei who was walking. Someone kept saying next to me:
"Everyone, please give way. Secretary Zhao is here. Secretary Zhao is here."
Like the ebbing tide of a river, the masses cleared the road in an instant. Zhao Xiaobei soon entered the lower courtyard, stood on the flagpole, and said loudly with a loudspeaker:
"Everyone, if we have any demands, we can express them. Should we send a few representatives? If there are more people, you will say something to me, and it will be laborious for you to speak, and I will not be able to hear you clearly. Time will be wasted, and the matter will not be done yet. You What do you think about my suggestion? Let’s send five representatives to follow me to the conference room.”
The crowd below was also whispering to each other, after a while. Someone stood up:
"Okay, we believe Secretary Zhao. Secretary Zhao will not lie to us. Let's just choose five representatives."
As he spoke, five representatives were pushed out of the crowd. The wife who died after being pierced through the chest by a steel pipe, the two fathers, and three more representatives from the three towns.
A group of five people followed Zhao Xiaobei to the office building. In fact, the people's demands were very simple. The first was to properly arrange the deceased and find the person responsible for the incident. The second was the quality problem of the village-to-village project, which was a bit troublesome. The masses want a complete renovation, which will be very costly.
Zhao Xiaobei fully agreed to his first request. Secondly, what Zhao Xiaobei meant was that the quality of the project does not count either himself or the public. A third-party testing agency is needed to conduct professional testing and issue an authoritative report. All qualified products will be reworked.
The family member of the deceased who took the lead:
"I believe Secretary Zhao, I agree. I know Secretary Zhao will not lie to us people."
These problems were solved in just a few words. The five people left the county party committee compound and told the people present about Secretary Zhao's promises. Zhao Xiaobei also made a special effort to make those promises in front of all the people. They slowly dispersed.
This time the mass incident was temporarily subsided. When Yin Zhihua listened to Zhao Xiao's promise, he felt that it was Secretary Zhao's expedient measure. After these people dispersed, he could find a third-party agency to make a show and issue a certificate of project qualification. Just take this matter over.
As for the one who agreed to the request of the deceased's family, he just wanted to pay compensation. As for the so-called responsible person, just find someone at random.
But this time, Zhao Xiaobei just wanted to fulfill these promises in a down-to-earth manner and live up to the people's trust in him.
So I immediately called Xu Jun from the Transportation Bureau to my office.
Zhao Xiaobei said to Xu Jun who came in:
"Director Xu, you should know what just happened, right?"
Xu Jun said aggrievedly:
"Secretary Zhao, I already know. But please listen to my explanation."
"Then just tell me."
Xu Jun explained the current situation of Cuncuntong in detail. Zhao Xiaobei also understood.
It turns out that after Yin Zhihua became the county magistrate, a special village-to-village construction headquarters was established, and this operation was originally possible. A member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee or the deputy county commander and the director of the Transportation Bureau will serve as the deputy commander and be responsible for specific work.
But Yin Zhihua first adjusted the division of labor among the deputy county magistrates, letting Meng Guangjun, whom he was close to, serve as the deputy county magistrate in charge of transportation and water conservancy. Then he served as deputy commander, and the commander was himself, the county magistrate.
The command office is located in the Transportation Bureau. Xu Jun, the director of the Transportation Bureau (has been promoted to director) serves as the director and handles some daily affairs. But many times the commander and deputy commander have already decided on the key issues, and he, the traffic bureau chief, has no power at all.
Even the quality supervision is done by the deputy director of the Transportation Bureau who reports directly to the deputy county magistrate. As the director of the Transportation Bureau, he is completely on the sidelines in this village-to-village project.
When Zhao Xiaobei heard what Xu Jun said, he probably knew what was going on. But what he did to Yin Zhihua was unexpected. I didn't expect Yin Zhihua to do this.
Then the rest of the things can be imagined. This also strengthened Zhao Xiaobei's determination to hire a third-party testing agency.
Xu Jun will soon start looking for a third-party testing agency. The principle is to truly test all the roads connected to every village this year independently and truly. Look how much water there is in this.
Project quality is Zhao Xiaobei's bottom line. He will never allow anyone to make a fuss about the quality of people's livelihood projects. What's more, there has been such a big commotion this time, and I have promised to conduct comprehensive quality inspections. If I can fool these things this time. Any problems in the future will be your own fault.
Not long after he came out of the secretary's office, Yin Zhihua came over to find Zhao Xiaobei. His purpose is also to run the quality inspection of the village-to-village highway project.
He knew the tricks of the engineering contractors below, and they must have done something wrong during the construction process, which would not stand up to real inspection.
"Secretary Zhao, these people went too far today. The secretary still has a way to solve the problem in just a few words."
"County Magistrate Yin, this matter has not been settled yet. Now that you are here, I have something to discuss with you."
Yin Zhihua thought he had managed to fool this matter, and he was very happy.
"I think this matter has become very serious. The main leaders of the provincial party committee have given instructions, so I decided to launch a county-wide project quality inspection. This includes all construction projects in the past few years. This also tells the municipal party committee and the province Committee, our Anfeng County’s attitude towards this mass incident.”
When Yin Zhihua heard this, his face turned dark instantly.
