"Secretary Lu! If you are here to call for punishment, then I really don't have time to accompany you. You can do whatever you want. But this flood prevention work must not stop, because basically it can be completed today," Xia Jian said, weakly

slumped down on the chair.

Secretary Lu laughed and said: "Don't worry, I don't know anything about this. I'm just a little curious, why the Meteorological Bureau didn't predict that there will be heavy rains in Pingdu in the near future, but you know?"

"Intuition! I have experienced several floods in Pingyang Town. The first time was shocking, and the entire Xiping Village was almost destroyed. The second time, Xiping Village took precautions in time and escaped disaster, but Zhang Yang

The village was not so lucky. The weather conditions before the two floods were similar to today's weather conditions." Xia Jian picked up the newspaper on the table and fanned it.

It was muggy outside, and it was even more uncomfortable to sit in the house. After a while, people started to sweat. Secretary Lu frowned, and after a while he said: "It is a good thing to take precautions before they happen, and I will never object to it.

But this morning I received a call from the city leader who scolded me."

"Then I'm sorry. Even if this heavy rain doesn't happen, I, Xia Jian, have a clear conscience. When things happen, everyone will say that no one can control the changes in the weather. Is it useful to talk nonsense like this?

It’s not the common people who are suffering. Besides, it was just an accident when Deputy Mayor Li got into an accident while riding his bike,” Xia Jian said to Secretary Lu with a serious look on his face.

Secretary Lu nodded and said: "Although you are a little hasty in this matter, I think you are not wrong. The leaders above like to report good news but not bad news. As soon as something happened to Li Lin, someone called you to file a complaint

, it won’t work if the higher authorities don’t pursue it.”

"I understand the difficulties of all leaders. This is how it is. I don't want you to tell the leaders above that I am still asking people to do flood prevention work. Since you don't know, just pretend you don't know anything. Wait for a few days

After the day is over, I will personally go to the leaders to admit my mistake," Xia Jian said very seriously.

Secretary Lu stood up. He thought for a while and said: "Since we have already done it, we must do it thoroughly. Starting tonight, each village will send people on duty. Anyway, I think the weather is a bit weird."

After Secretary Lu finished speaking, he left, but his words reminded Xia Jian. He quickly found a small notebook from the drawer, opened the phone book on it, and then called villages one by one to arrange tasks.

Xiping Village and Zhangyang Village are key villages for prevention. Xia Jian asked all village cadres from these two villages to be on duty at the village committee tonight. He wanted to make sure nothing goes wrong.

After so many villages were arranged one by one, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. Xia Jian suddenly felt less stuffy. He ran to the balcony with excitement and found that the dark clouds in the sky were thinner.

few.

At this moment, his cell phone rang. Xia Jian ran into the house and picked it up. The call was from Qin Xiaomin using her cell phone.

As soon as the connection was connected, Qin Xiaomin's unceremonious voice came from inside: "Xia Jian! Didn't you say there was going to be a heavy rain? All the dark clouds in the sky have dispersed, and I can see over Pingdu City that the sun will rise soon."

"Wouldn't it be better if it doesn't rain? Don't you want a heavy rain?" Xia Jian retorted.

Qin Xiaomin became angry when she heard this. She cursed in a low voice: "Asshole! Who do you think I am? I know that you didn't do what I said. You still let the whole town do flood prevention work.

And you’ve even stepped up your efforts. If you don’t listen to the leadership’s arrangements and insist on doing things according to your own wishes, it will harm you sooner or later.”

"Thank you for your concern, leader! I didn't listen to you this time, but I think what I did was not wrong." After Xia Jian finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Sometimes, there is no conflict between people, it's just that their opinions and ways of handling things are different. Xia Jian and Qin Xiaomin quarreled over the issue rather than the person. He still respected Qin Xiaomin as a person.

You said how difficult it is for a woman who comes from a high-ranking family to be treated well since she was a child. But now she has to insist on working in a job where she is marginalized and not supported by her family. This alone,

Qin Xiaomin made Xia Jian admire her very much.

This is a world filled with materialistic desires, and few people have such a lofty ideological realm. From Qin Xiaomin, Xia Jian saw hope, so he must persist and continue to do a good job in Pingyang Town.

While he was thinking about these messy things, the phone on the table rang. Xia Jian was stunned and quickly grabbed the phone. The familiar voice of Secretary Wang came from inside: "Hey! Mayor Xia! Where did you get it from?

News? I called and asked, but there haven’t been any heavy rains recently, not even light rain!”

"Secretary Wang! I'll tell you the truth, I haven't received any news, but my intuition tells me that there will be a heavy rain in Pingyang Town. But from the current point of view, this situation will not happen," Xia Jian said with a smile.

Secretary Wang let out a sigh of relief and said: "Our Donglin Township and your Pingyang Town are close neighbors. You have heavy rains, and we also have heavy rains. Since you have this intuition, it seems that I have to make arrangements to prevent disasters.

This is a good thing in the future, but when it happens, it will be too late."

"Thank you, Secretary Wang, for trusting me so much. You don't know that I had a big fight with the city leaders because of this matter. It seems that it's really hard for me to continue my job," Xia Jian said.

Then he burst into laughter.

When Secretary Wang heard what Xia Jian said, he laughed heartily and said: "It's okay, it's not normal for me to yell at them. Anyway, I admire you very much. Be prepared for a rainy day. In fact, everything should be considered this way. Our work

Then there won’t be any problems, and the people will suffer less!”

After Secretary Wang finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Xia Jian couldn't help but let out a long breath as he recalled Secretary Wang's last words on the phone.

In the blink of an eye, it was already half past six in the evening. It should have been time for the whole town to get off work, but the entire town government compound seemed extremely quiet. Because all the people from various departments went to the village to supervise the flood prevention work.

Xia Jian closed the computer and was about to go back to Xiping Village. Wei Xiaoming walked in. He chuckled and said, "You really guessed this Liu Dayong correctly. He is the spy arranged by the above in our Pingyang Town."

"Oh! It's a good idea to expose this!" Xia Jian raised his head, glanced at Wei Xiaoming, and said with a slight smile.

Just as Wei Xiaoming was about to speak, Secretary Lu ran in with a livid face. He faced Wei Xiaoming and said, "What are you doing, Wei Xiaoming? Why did you put Liu Dayong under house arrest and asked him to take a new call? You

As a college student, he should know the law. Do you know what the nature of this is?"

"Hey! Xiao Wei, you young people are joking, but some jokes should not be made randomly." Xia Jian rushed to speak before Wei Xiaoming could speak.

Wei Xiaoming was so smart that he immediately understood what Xia Jian meant. He chuckled and said, "Secretary Lu! Don't listen to Liu Dayong's nonsense. I was just joking with him."

"Are you kidding? Are you kidding? He even came to me to complain. Fortunately, I suppressed the matter. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a big deal if he brought it to the market?" Secretary Lu said a little unhappy.

When Wei Xiaoming saw Secretary Lu's face changed, he also became angry. Wei Xiaoming raised his neck and said, "It's up to him. If you want to sue him, just go ahead and sue him! This is what he specializes in doing anyway."

, he can sue him as he pleases.

"Hi! You don't care. What should I do if someone brings trouble to Mayor Xia?" Secretary Lu said and glanced at Xia Jian.

When Xia Jian heard this, he waved his hands hurriedly and said, "This matter really has nothing to do with me. I have never participated in the affairs between these young people."

"Okay, you must have ordered Wei Xiaoming to do this. A discerning person can see that at a glance, so don't pretend to be here." Secretary Lu said, and stood up angrily.

He strode outside.

As soon as Secretary Lu left, Wei Xiaoming couldn't help laughing. He said with a smile: "The boss is the boss. This matter can be settled in a few words."

Xia Jian did not say a word, but walked to the balcony and looked into the sky. He found that the original dark clouds were gone. There were almost no clouds in the sky, but there was no sunlight. It was all dark gray, and his intuition told him

He, the color of the clouds is slowly turning black.

Xia Jian raised his arm and saw that it was seven o'clock. Judging from the time in previous years, there would be changes in the sky in more than three hours. It might be a heavy rainstorm, or there might be nothing at all.

"Xiao Wei! Come to the canteen and grab some steamed buns. You will sit in the office tonight and set your shift. If you can't do it alone, you can find someone who is suitable!" Xia Jian said and returned to the office.

Wei Xiaoming thought for a while and said: "Everyone else has gone down to the village, and the rest are women. What's the use of keeping them? I think it's better to let Liu Dayong accompany me! This guy can't be cheap anyway."

"You can handle this matter. If not, let Secretary Lu be on duty in the town with you!" Xia Jian said, taking out a piece of paper and starting to write and draw on it. Wei Xiaoming felt very strange, but he

Don't dare to ask.

Sitting in the office and eating the food brought by Wei Xiaoming, Xia Jian realized that the saying that people are like iron rice is true at all. After eating, Xia Jian felt a lot more energetic.

A strange thing really happened. Before eight o'clock, it felt like it was getting dark, and the temperature seemed to rise in an instant.

Xia Jiandu, who was sitting at his desk, felt that he was sweating again. He walked to the balcony in two steps and looked up at the dark sky.

The originally light cloud color has turned a bit black, and there is a layer of earthy yellow inside this black color. It looks weird and a bit scary.

"Mayor Xia! It seems that your hunch is right. God is acting strange again. With such a hot and cold situation, there will definitely be some commotion," Secretary Lu said and walked over.

Xia Jian glanced at the old man and said, "I feel the same! Once there is a flood, Xiping Village is the first stop, and it is close to the river. There are many companies in the village, so it is the top priority. I must go to the village tonight to guard it."

, I’ll leave it to you here.”

"No problem, you can go without worry! I will take Xiao Wei and Liu Dayong with me and promise to stay in the office all night. If anything happens, just call me," Secretary Lu said loudly to Xia Jian, feeling as if he had changed.
Chapter completed!
