Chapter 1189 On the Eve of the Inspection

What is coming will eventually come. This rain is heavy, and the precipitation range covers many areas such as southern Shandong, northern Jiang, and eastern Anhui.

Due to the heavy autumn floods in many places, the long-term, high water level, and large flow of floods in the lower reaches of the Yellow River and Huaihe River, the flood control situation is very serious.

Secretary Zhou went south on behalf of the Disaster Reduction Committee to inspect and go deep into the local flood control and drought relief command centers to understand the situation of autumn flood prevention, and went deep into key control and guidance projects, dangerous situation emergency reinforcement sites, and low-lying and flood-prone areas in the city to inspect the flood situation and work conditions.

This is his first out-of-town inspection after taking office as the Disaster Reduction Committee. According to the itinerary, the last stop is in Dongzhou.

In fact, the flood situation in Dongzhou is not serious. When the city received the news that Secretary Zhou was coming, it was inevitable to guess the purpose of his visit.

Wang Jianming did not welcome his arrival in his heart. Although the rain in Dongzhou was not small, the flood control work in Dongzhou was carried out in an orderly manner because of the advance deployment.

Especially when he learned that the scope of Secretary Zhou's inspection this time also included funeral work and the construction of rehabilitation institutions, he felt that his visit had a deeper meaning.

Although he was somewhat repulsive in his heart, the welcoming work must be implemented in place. In addition to personally receiving the meeting, Wang Jianming specially arranged for Li Xiying, the second-in-command in charge of civil affairs, to accompany him throughout the whole process, because the focus of this inspection was on civil affairs units, and the main leaders of the Civil Affairs Bureau must accompany him.

Wang Tongan, director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, wanted to take this opportunity to come back, but his superiors took into account his physical condition and asked him to stay at home to recuperate. In this way, Jiang Qiyong, who is currently in charge of the work, will naturally be responsible for the reception on behalf of the civil affairs system.

Qin Zhengyang gave Wang Jianming the preliminary list of reception staff for review.

Wang Jianming took a look and said, "Why is Xu Chunliang not included?"

Qin Zhengyang smiled and said, "I'll make it up later." In fact, the first person he thought of was Xu Chunliang, but Xu Chunliang's level was too low, and the main reception staff level was at least deputy director level. If Xu Chunliang was listed right away, I'm afraid Wang Jianming would ask him why Xu Chunliang was listed? Although the main task of a secretary is to serve the leader, he usually has to compete with the leader in wits and courage.

Wang Jianming nodded: "You should know the relationship between Secretary Zhou and Xu Chunliang. It is more appropriate for Xiao Xu to attend the reception."

Qin Zhengyang complimented: "Secretary Wang is still thoughtful."

Wang Jianming said: "Has Secretary Zhou's itinerary been confirmed?"

Qin Zhengyang said: "They have given several key inspection departments."

This kind of official inspection usually requires notification to the local government in advance. On the one hand, the local government can make arrangements to ensure the safety and smoothness of the inspection. On the other hand, it can also reflect respect for the local government and give the local government time to prepare in advance.

Qin Zhengyang handed the location of the previous communication and coordination to Wang Jianming for review.

Wang Jianming stared at it for a while. It is natural for the Disaster Reduction Committee to inspect flood prevention work, but the scope of this inspection also reported funeral and rehabilitation institutions. I always feel that there are some problems in it.

Wang Jianming glanced out the window. The autumn rain was still falling, but not very heavy. After he took office, he promoted the construction of the sponge city, which had already gone through the test of the spring and summer rainy season. Wang Jianming said, "Arrive the day after tomorrow?"

Qin Zhengyang nodded and said, "Arrive at Dongzhou East at 2 pm the day after tomorrow."

Wang Jianming said, "Notify the relevant departments of the city to do a good job of self-inspection and self-examination in advance, and make sure all the details are in place."

Qin Zhengyang said, "Secretary Wang, rest assured, your instructions have been conveyed."

Wang Jianming picked up the thermos cup and drank a sip of tea. Qin Zhengyang waited for him to put down the cup, and quickly took it over and refilled him with hot water.

Wang Jianming said meaningfully: "Secretary Zhou has been in charge of Dongzhou for many years and has a special feeling for every plant and tree in Dongzhou. Our reception work this time must be meticulous and in place, and we must not let him down."

Qin Zhengyang understood what he meant. Wang Jianming was still a little nervous, like a student facing a big exam. Secretary Zhou was his predecessor. Secretary Zhou not only had a special feeling for Dongzhou, but also knew Dongzhou very well. There is a saying that laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the doorway. Secretary Zhou is definitely an expert.

Qin Zhengyang said: "Dongzhou's flood prevention work this year is very good."

Wang Jianming said: "You can't just focus on flood prevention work. Go and urge everyone to pay attention to it."

Qin Zhengyang knew what Wang Jianming was worried about. He gave the list to Li Xiying. Li Xiying just glanced at it and asked him to notify the reception team members as soon as possible.

Jiang Qiyong was notified by the Civil Affairs Bureau. According to the list given by the city, he and Xu Chunliang were both members of the reception team. Although Jiang Qiyong had not been in office for a long time, he and Xu Chunliang had had several secret confrontations, and the final result was that Jiang Qiyong gave in.

Jiang Qiyong, who saw the reality clearly, was inevitably a little discouraged. He was not very interested in civil affairs work, and he was at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Xu Chunliang, which made him even feel lazy. He only thought of using his current position as a springboard and had already started to think about the next landing point.

Although Jiang Qiyong chose to give in, he would not bow his head to Xu Chunliang. The current state of the two sides is that they do not interfere with each other.

Jiang Qiyong has not even seen Xu Chunliang for two weeks in a row. Of course, the main reason for this is that Xu Chunliang rarely comes to the Civil Affairs Bureau. It is said that he has been helping the Cultural and Tourism Bureau to attract investment recently.

In the past, Jiang Qiyong might have accused him of not doing his job properly, but now Jiang Qiyong is too lazy to make trouble for himself. It is said that it was Secretary Wang's idea for Xu Chunliang to help the Culture and Tourism Bureau.

Qin Zhengyang asked Jiang Qiyong to notify the relevant reception staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Jiang Qiyong frowned when he saw Xu Chunliang's name. After thinking about it, he decided to ask someone to call Xu Chunliang to his office. According to his rank, he was a leader. If he went to notify Xu Chunliang in person, he would feel embarrassed. If he called, he didn't know how to start.

Asking someone to notify Xu Chunliang to come and see him was the most compromise and safest way. If Xu Chunliang didn't come, it proved that he still hadn't forgotten the previous unhappiness. If he came, it showed that Xu Chunliang also had the intention to reconcile actively.

Xu Chunliang came over not long after receiving the notice. Jiang Qiyong heard the noise and deliberately picked up the phone and pretended to be on the phone. However, as soon as Xu Chunliang came in, he put down the phone, stood up to greet him, and smiled: "Chunliang, you're here!"

Most smiles in the system are fake, but at least they convey a certain sense of politeness and respect. Xu Chunliang smiled more brilliantly than Jiang Qiyong: "Director Jiang, you're looking for me?"

Jiang Qiyong invited Xu Chunliang to sit down in the sofa area.

Xu Chunliang noticed that Jiang Qiyong had prepared tea sets and good tea in advance.

This time, Jiang Qiyong did not talk to Xu Chunliang in a condescending manner, but chose to be on an equal footing with him. His uncle Jiang Tianyue's recent advice to him played a significant role.

Xu Chunliang wanted to laugh secretly in his heart. It seems that people will not learn from their mistakes until they hit a snag. Judging from his performance today, Jiang Qiyong has obviously learned his lesson.

Xu Chunliang said, "Director Jiang, don't be polite to me. Just arrange any work."

Jiang Qiyong smiled and said, "We are not necessarily together for work. How about trying this tea?"

Xu Chunliang drank a sip of tea, looked at the origin of the tea, and had an idea in his mind: "This tea is the best green tea in Lunan."

Jiang Qiyong smiled and said, "I don't understand. It was given by a friend."

Xu Chunliang glanced at the photos on the wall and thought to himself that the friend Jiang Qiyong mentioned was probably his uncle Jiang Tianyue.

Xu Chunliang said, "I'll get you two boxes of Pu'er tea to try later."

Jiang Qiyong wanted to be polite, but then he thought that if he wanted to ease the relationship between the two, it would be better not to refuse. He nodded and said, "Okay." Following Xu Chunliang's topic, he took out two boxes of green tea from the cabinet: "Take these two boxes back and drink them."

Xu Chunliang didn't say anything polite to him and happily accepted them.

The start was so smooth that the atmosphere of the conversation became extremely relaxed. Jiang Qiyong told them that the city had asked them to receive the Disaster Reduction Committee's inspection team.

Xu Chunliang naturally had no problem with this, but he had not heard about this matter in advance. It seemed that Secretary Zhou was just doing his routine work.

Jiang Qiyong said: "Chunliang, the superior leaders attach great importance to this inspection and have repeatedly told us not to make any mistakes. We must make full preparations."

Xu Chunliang said: "Secretary Zhou is an old leader of Dongzhou. He knows Dongzhou very well. It is useless for us to prepare."

Jiang Qiyong said: "We have to prepare. If problems are found, we will be responsible."

Xu Chunliang said: "The Disaster Reduction Committee inspects flood prevention and control work. If we are nervous, it is the flood prevention and control headquarters and the water conservancy department. It is not our turn."

Jiang Qiyong said: "You can't say that. We will also inspect funeral work and major elderly care and rehabilitation institutions. These are all within our scope of work. The units inspected also include welfare homes."

Xu Chunliang was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a surge of joy in his heart. It seems that Secretary Zhou came with bad intentions this time, and good people don't come. No wonder the reception work is taken so seriously.

Xu Chunliang asked Jiang Qiyong for the itinerary and took a look. Secretary Zhou stayed in Dongzhou for a short time, less than 20 hours in total. Such a short time is usually just a formality, but there are exceptions to everything. Secretary Zhou is too familiar with Dongzhou.

Jiang Qiyong said: "The welfare home is being renovated. It is simply a large construction site. If you inspect it now, you may find many problems."

Xu Chunliang said: "Don't worry about this. I think Secretary Zhou should consider the specific situation."

Xu Chunliang also noticed that Kangjian Nursing Home was one of the units included in the inspection. As the best nursing institution in Dongzhou, it is not surprising that it was selected. Some of these units included in the inspection scope are provided by the local government, and some are designated by the superiors.

If it is directly designated by the Disaster Reduction Committee, it is bound to be inspected, and Kangjian Nursing Home is exactly this kind of unit.

The current director of Kangjian Nursing Home is still Qin Yujiao. Although there was unpleasantness between her and Zhai Pingqing, Zhai Pingqing did not ask her to resign immediately after calming down. Of course, Qin Yujiao could also feel that Zhai Pingqing's attitude towards her had completely changed, and her resignation was a matter of time.

Zhai Pingqing should be looking for a suitable candidate, and Qin Yujiao also began to consider her next move.

After receiving the notice that the inspection team was coming, Zhai Pingqing immediately called Qin Yujiao and asked her to prepare for the inspection.

Zhai Pingqing was still full of confidence in Kangjian's current conditions and operations. This kind of inspection was not the first time, but Zhai Pingqing was still full of vigilance. He had been a little unlucky recently. It is said that good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. It is better to be careful in everything.

Just yesterday, Zhai Pingqing learned of Wu Yuanyi's death. The news was somewhat sudden. Zhai Pingqing and Wu Yuanyi were not close friends, so he was not sad for him, but Xiahou Mulan asked him to go to Qiaocheng. It was said that there was something important to ask in person.

Zhai Pingqing never regarded Xiahou Mulan as the leader of the sect, but he could not deny the reality that Xiahou Mulan was the acting leader. He estimated that this summons was most likely related to Wu Yuanyi's death. He did not follow Xiahou Mulan's wishes and immediately went to Qiaocheng, using the excuse that he could not leave for the time being because of something in Dongzhou.

Before he understood the situation, he would not go rashly. Wu Yuanyi's death gave him an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Zhai Pingqing did not stay to welcome the inspection. The day before the inspection team arrived in Dongzhou, he quietly flew to the capital alone. He needed to confirm some news and do some things.

The weather in Dongzhou seemed to have sensed the arrival of the inspection. In the early morning of the inspection day, heavy rain fell across the city of Dongzhou.

The rain came too quickly and put Dongzhou's flood discharge and drainage capacity to a comprehensive test. Although the relevant departments of Dongzhou had made sufficient preparations, there were still scenes of waterlogging on many sections of the road.

The main waterlogging areas appeared in several railway underpasses. What made Wang Jianming extremely depressed was that the main road on the west side of the municipal center also had serious waterlogging. Many private vehicles were flooded and stalled, and the traffic on the scene was seriously congested.

Wang Jianming personally organized and arranged personnel to provide timely disaster relief and drainage. He also appeared in the Baiquan underpass to conduct on-site command.

Dongzhou TV sent a reporting team to broadcast live, and the host Zhao Xiaohui reported on the scene.

Wang Jianming came here not for show. He was very anxious now. The rain was still falling. According to the latest forecast of the Municipal Meteorological Bureau, the rain would subside at about 10 am. If the forecast was accurate, there would only be four hours left before the inspection team arrived in Dongzhou. These four hours might not be enough time to prepare.

Wang Jianming frowned as he looked at the situation in front of him. Qin Zhengyang came to his side and whispered, "Secretary Wang, the TV station hopes to interview you. You see..."
