Chapter 1347: The Urgency of Flood Control

he Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, Liu Qingwei. 。He had long heard that although Liu Qingwei's promotion this time was a promotion, in reality it was because Tan Zhen was dissatisfi...When the reception staff from the Provincial Committee Office spoke about Xiongqi and Xiaozheng's legendary "rescue", some experts found it unbelievable. How could a provincial committee secretary like Xiongqi and a mayor like Xiaozheng dare to fly to the roof of a building over 500 meters high, braving the storm and rain, to rescue people trapped there! This was unheard of. 。Bear Qi and Xiao Zheng really don't consider themselves leaders!

But in the working guidance group, some people also think that Bear Qi and Xiao Zheng are just putting on a show, including Director Shao Changqing. 。They didn't see the rescue scene, the raging tornado, the torrential rain, nor the harrowing and dangerous sight of two helicopters rescuing those who had fallen. They only saw the relatively peaceful night sky over Guangdong now. 。even thought she could get on a helicopter to save people。"Just showing off! Anyone can do that!"

Shao Changqing said with a hint of sourness, "So that's how it is! Sitting in a helicopter to save people with Secretary Xiong, that's how you become the executive deputy head of our working group!" A hydrologist beside him also refused to be outdone: "But what we're going to do next is flood control, not helicopter stunts, okay There's a big difference here!"

The reception staff from the Provincial Committee Office heard these words and felt the complexity within the working group. They felt it was best to keep their mouths shut and avoid trouble, so they changed the subject: "Leaders, in about ten minutes we'll arrive at the Provincial Committee Courtyard." 。Zheng Aimin also said: "Let's get ready." 。Though Guangdong Province seems calm and peaceful now, the situation upriver on the Pearl River is brewing with fierce floods. 。"As soon as we get off the bus, we'll be diving straight into battle!"

Hearing this, everyone fell silent. 。Water Resources Bureau Deputy Director Lu Wei also shifted her gaze from the dark, night-engulfed Mei Li Hotel building and turned towards Zheng Group Leader. 。Group Leader Zheng was also smiling kindly at her. 。Lu Wei just smiled, about to join the flood relief work in Guangdong. This made Lu Wei feel a little excited. 。The welcoming vehicle finally drove into the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee compound. The staff member who received them reminded, "Leaders and experts, we have arrived at the provincial party committee compound." 。As you can see in this architectural garden, there were no cars on the tree-lined path at first. However, as we get closer to the main building, more and more cars park on the right side of the road. 。Some cars still had their lights on. The drivers were either looking at their phones inside the car, or standing outside smoking and chatting. They must be waiting for the leader. 。The car finally stopped in the main building's lobby. 。The pick-up person reminded again: "Distinguished leaders and experts, we have arrived at the provincial committee. Please get off the car." 。It's okay to be slow. 。Please leave your luggage in the car, you don't need to take it. We will send you to the hotel after the welcome party for check-in and rest. 。“Director Shao Changqing said: “Leaders and experts, let's get off the bus with Director Zheng.” 。Zheng Aimin still relied heavily on Shao Changqing. Therefore, within the work guidance group, Shao Changqing was essentially his assistant. So the task of calling everyone to act together fell to Shao Changqing. 。Everyone stood up from their seats and filed out of the vehicle. 。Lu Wei remained seated, not hurrying. She only stood up and followed the others out of the car once most people had left. 。Zheng Aimin just got out of the car and was stunned for a moment. 。Guizhou Provincial Party Secretary Xiong Qi and Provincial Governor Fan Qihang stood at the entrance hall. There were not many people following them, only four. 。But, the provincial Party secretary and governor personally came out to greet them. Although there were not many people, the specifications were already the highest!

Xiong Qi saw Zheng Aimin get off the car and walked forward, enthusiastically and proactively extending his hand: "Comrade Zheng, welcome, welcome!" Governor Fan Qihang took a step slower, but his expression was also quite warm: "Welcome Comrade Zheng, welcome the guidance group!"

Zheng Aimin shook hands with the two main leaders and thanked them: "Secretary Xiong, Governor Fan, you two leaders, there is no need to come out to greet us!" Although Zheng Aimin was the head of the work guidance group sent from Hua Jing, his level was only a deputy minister, and he was actually four steps behind Secretary Xiong of the provincial Party Committee. 。From deputy minister to minister is one step, from minister to provincial governor is one step, from provincial governor to provincial Party secretary is one step, and from provincial Party secretary to the Party secretary of a province like Guangdong, which is economically the largest, is another step. 。Zheng Aimin was very clear that he could never close the gap of these four steps in his lifetime. 。There is at least a two-step difference in status between him and Governor Fan Qi Hang!

Originally, sending a deputy secretary or deputy governor to the door to greet him would already be very appropriate. 。< The bear flag was unexpectedly carried, and the provincial governor himself came to the hall to greet them. > 。This shows that Xiong Qi attaches great importance to both the work guidance group for Huajing and Zheng Aimin. This demonstrates a strong emphasis on the disaster prevention, flood control, and rescue efforts in this instance. 。The lower the level of a leader, the more they use "authority" and "money" to show their importance towards someone or something; the higher the level of a leader, the more they use "courtesy" and "formality" to show their importance towards someone or something.

Xiong Qi not only shook hands with Zheng Aimin, but also shook hands with every team member, saying "Welcome, hard work" each time. 。。“Come everyone, this is our Executive Deputy Group Leader Xiao Zheng!”

Xiao Zheng stepped forward to shake hands quickly with everyone. Zheng Aimin introduced him on the side. Xiao Zheng could feel that most of the members were friendly. 。But when Zheng Aimin introduced "Deputy Group Leader Shao Changqing", Xiao Zheng distinctly felt that although Deputy Group Leader Shao smiled, his expression remained cold. When shaking hands, Shao Changqing only gave him three fingers, and Xiao Zheng didn't even get to grasp his palm. 。From this subtle action, Xiao Zheng distinctly felt that Shao Changqing was not very welcoming towards him. 。Xiao Zheng had met too many people, received a lot of kindness, and also faced much hostility. He didn't mind Sha Changqing's negative attitude very much. Instead, he smiled at him, memorized his face, and would just be more careful in the following work. 。At the end of the handshake, I saw a slender woman wearing a striped hat. Although she was thin, what stood out was her figure, which was particularly impressive. Her most striking features were her curvaceous red lips and high nose bridge, with a slight mark on it as if it had been pressed down by something. 。Xiao Zheng didn't know if she had fallen asleep on the plane with her hat pressed against her nose bridge, leaving a faint indentation. 。Xiao Zheng reached out his hand to her, but Lu Wei just glanced at his hand and said, "I know you're Xiao Zheng, call me Lu Wei." 。Instead of shaking his hand, she walked forward. 。Xiao Zheng didn't feel embarrassed either. He had encountered even more embarrassing situations before. 。He just put his hands away and followed behind the workgroup. 。Zheng Aimin saw how Shao Changqing and Lu Wei treated Xiao Zheng, and he reckoned that both of them probably had some resentment and thoughts in their hearts. This was something they probably wouldn't be able to digest anytime soon. 。"With tasks right in front of us and no time to do ideological work, Zheng Aimin said: "Since everyone is here, let's go to the conference room." 。Xiongqi and Zheng Aimin walked inside together. 。Governor Fan Qihang also walked in alongside them. 。Zheng Aimin came to the door of the provincial Party Committee Standing Committee meeting room, and was startled again. There were dozens of people inside, all waiting. 。Zheng Aimin sheepishly said: "Secretary Xiong, you really are taking this too seriously." 。“Director Zheng, we must take this seriously!” Xiong Qi said, “You are here from Hua Jing to help us solve our problems! Our provincial committee and government must welcome you together. We also hope that Director Zheng can provide us with training on flood response, so as to improve our knowledge structure and response capabilities in flood prevention!”Zheng Aimin walked inside while nodding to everyone in the meeting room, trying to bridge the psychological gap between him and the local leaders. 。This kind of solemn occasion wasn't the first time for both Director Shao Changqing and Deputy Director Lu Wei. 。Every year, they take on tasks assigned by the department and go to various provinces (cities) for guidance work. The reception standards vary from place to place, but there are occasions as grand as today's. 。Especially in remote provinces and cities, the reception you receive may be even more grand. 。But today, the situation in Yuezhou Province is a bit special. Secretary Xiongqi's position is so high, yet he gave the working guidance group plenty of face during the welcoming ceremony. 。This made Chief Si Shao Changqing feel a bit elated. It seemed that this time the situation in Yuezhou was more serious than ever before, forcing Xiong Qi to be so attentive. Feeling favored was always pleasant. Shao Changqing fully felt the honor of being "a special envoy." 。Deputy Director Lu Wei didn't mind the formality of the reception. She felt that most of the people present today were not very helpful for flood relief efforts. It would be more effective to get straight to the point, analyze the hydrological situation, and decide on the next steps for water storage and release. 。So, seeing her place, Lu Wei quickly sat down, hoping this meaningless welcome ceremony would end soon! Then, the work group entered a substantive working state!

At this time, the river gates, dam gates and lake gates of five counties in the key cities of Zhujiang River upstream - Heishui City, Dao Kou City and Meiyu City - had been opened for nearly two hours! The water levels of rivers, streams, flood storage areas and detention areas in these five counties were rising rapidly!

At this time, Mi Zhijian, the secretary of the Heishui City Party Committee, had returned to the city. However, he didn't go back to the municipal party committee compound, but came to the bridge at Liangjiangkou, looking down under the bridge lights. The turbid, churning water was rising rapidly. 。Mu Zhijian couldn't help but feel a pang of pain. Could the people of Heishui City have to endure another flood that destroys their homesg can't get close to himself anymore. It's not easy to use Peng Guang's hand to hurt him, and for others, Peng Guang has lost his value. Xiao Zheng let the relevant departments handle this matter and...
