Lin Chen recognized the voice of Li Lei, the captain of the production safety law enforcement brigade of the County Work Safety Bureau, and he quickly explained: "Brigade Li! Director Wang is sick, I am Lin Chen! I have already finished writing the report on the collapse of the Qingshan Village Talc Mine. I’ll send it to you before get off work!”

"I'm asking why there was a landslide yesterday! How did you supervise it?"

"Li Brigade, the landslide happened the day before yesterday. We sealed it at that time..."

"We received a report that there was another landslide yesterday evening. Don't you know? And someone was injured!"

"I..." Lin Chen held the phone and couldn't react.

"You should read the report from Dayang's hometown! If one dies and one is injured, the mayor will record a major demerit, and the staff of the Work Safety Supervision Office will be fired directly. Just wait and be punished!" Li Lei hung up the phone with a bang.

Lin Chen hadn't turned around yet and was in a daze when Wang Hongxia walked in anxiously: "Mayor Xu is back! He didn't get through when he called you, so he asked you to go to his office!"

Li Lei's voice was still echoing in Lin Chen's mind, and Wang Hongxia thrust the notebook into his hand: "Go quickly, Mayor Xu is very angry!"

Lin Chen suddenly woke up. Just as he was about to go out, he pulled his feet back and closed the door.

"Sister Wang, you said that between the secretary and the mayor, who should I listen to?"

Wang Hongxia gave Lin Chen a strange look and said without thinking: "Of course the official will listen to whom."

Lin Chen went out and was about to go up to the second floor when he met the mayor Xu Shengtao and the deputy mayor in charge of economics Zhou Haiyang hurriedly came down from upstairs.

Xu Xintao is less than forty, has a crew cut, and looks very capable. He was originally the director of the policy research office of the county government office. After Wang Liang resigned from the municipal party committee to serve as county magistrate three years ago, Xu Shengtao left the government office and became the mayor of Dashan Town.

From being on the bench to being the second-in-command in the township with real power, it is rumored that Xu Xintao was promoted because one of his articles was highly appreciated by County Magistrate Wang.

Zhou Haiyang was originally the section chief of the County Public Security Bureau. He was sent to Dashan Town two years ago as an organization committee member and deputy mayor. He has dark skin, is impatient in everything he does, and does not hold back his words.

"Xiao Lin! Let's go! Go to Qingshan Village Talc Mine!"

The driver, Xiao Qu, had already driven the car to the front of the building. Xu Shengtao was sitting in the front, Zhou Haiyang and Lin Chen were sitting in the back. Xiao Qu stepped on the accelerator and drove towards Qingshan Village.

The wind blew violently and raindrops pattered on the car windows.

Zhou Haiyang asked Lin Chen dissatisfied: "Where is Wang Haixiang? If such a big thing happens, he won't come either?"

Lin Chen whispered: "Director Wang is sick."

Zhou Haiyang's voice rose an octave: "Mayor Xu, look at what cadres we have used!"

Xu Shengtao coughed and said, "Xiao Lin, I just sealed Sun Qinghai's mine the day before yesterday. Why did it start again yesterday?"

The voices of Qian Wansheng and Wang Hongxia rang in Lin Chen's ears: "I didn't approve his resumption of work, and you don't know about it either." "Of course it's the official who listens to whom!" He said hesitantly: "I...

..I don’t know. I spent the whole day in the office writing a rectification report and didn’t go down to read it..."

Xu Shengtao turned to look at Zhou Haiyang: "This Sun Qinghai regards production safety as child's play and turns a deaf ear to regulations. He must be rectified and rectified! If Deputy Director Chen Hongfei of the Work Safety Supervision Bureau hadn't called me, I wouldn't have known that he had collapsed again.

Got it!"

Zhou Haiyang said dissatisfiedly: "Old Xu, will Sun Qinghai start the project privately? I don't believe he has the guts!"

There was silence in the car.

Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the Qingshan Village Talc Mine. By this time, the rain had subsided. As soon as Lin Chen and the others got off the car, Sun Qinghai ran over and held an umbrella over Xu Shengtao's head: "Mayor Xu! Don't get wet.

Stay!"

Xu Shengtao pushed away the umbrella and said, "Let's go see the scene first! What's the well number?"

"Well No. 2."

Xu Shengtao did not need Sun Qinghai to lead the way and strode forward.

Talc is a hydrous magnesium silicate mineral that is widely used in medicine, chemical industry, ceramics and other fields. Dashan Town is rich in talc ore, and the Qingshan Village Talc Mine has an annual output of 50,000 tons, and its reserves are extremely rich.

When we arrived at the No. 2 shaft, the shaft development method was adopted here. People went down the shaft and ore came out of the shaft, all relying on the elevator. Xu Shengtao strode into the elevator and said, "Go down and have a look."

Sun Qinghai hurriedly stopped: "Mayor Xu, it's too dangerous down there. The maintenance personnel have all withdrawn!"

Xu Shengtao glared: "I have to see with my own eyes whether we are withdrawing or not!"

Zhou Haiyang and Lin Chen entered the elevator, and Sun Qinghai reluctantly followed them.

The elevator rolled down, but Lin Chen's heart rose to his throat. The mine that had just collapsed had a high probability of another collapse.

After the elevator landed, Xu Shengtao observed the surrounding situation and walked slowly forward along the tunnel.

After walking through the four tunnels, Lin Chen discovered that the innermost mining surface had collapsed. The area was not particularly large, and no stranded people were found.

Lin Chen took a long breath and felt relieved.

When we returned to the ground, it was almost noon and the rain stopped.

Xu Shengtao walked to the car and said to Zhou Haiyang: "Notify the police station to send police on duty! Notify the power company to cut off the power!" Then he walked to Sun Qinghai's office.

At the far south of the mine, there is a row of simple bungalows, which are offices, miners' lounges, kitchens, canteens, warehouses, etc. Sun Qinghai's office is in the middle. The tiles on the floor are covered with mud. There are two tables against the wall.

The paint on the wooden chair has peeled off, revealing its original color.

Xu Shengtao sat in Sun Qinghai's seat, and Zhou Haiyang asked Lin Chen to sit opposite Xu Shengtao to facilitate recording. Sun Qinghai moved a chair to Zhou Haiyang, and sat down properly, saying: "Mayor Xu, this is really a

Unexpectedly, I was thinking of suspending production, and I just used this time to reinforce the inside of the tunnel, but I didn’t expect that I just started working this morning..."

"I haven't asked yet, so don't say anything yet!" Xu Shengtao gave Sun Qinghai a majestic look, took out a pack of Taishan cigarettes, and threw one to Zhou Haiyang. Sun Qinghai hurriedly took out Soft China, but Xu Shengtao didn't even look at it.

I lit the lighter, took a puff, and blew out a few smoke rings.

"Old Sun, we have known each other for several years, right?" Xu Shengtao continued to raise his head and blow out smoke rings.

"We already know each other before Mayor Xu comes to Dashan..."

"Then tell me, am I good enough for you?"

"That's enough...that's enough, buddy, Mayor Xu, you have helped me a lot..."

"I remember that last time your loan was not approved, was it because I helped you coordinate the working capital, right?"

"Yes, thanks to Mayor Xu, otherwise I would have to jump into the river..."

Before Sun Qinghai finished speaking, Xu Shengtao slammed the table hard, and there was a "bang" sound, and dust flew straight up.

Xu Shengtao turned his head and glared at Sun Qinghai sternly, "Brother, why don't you tell me the truth and give me permission to start work? Secretary Qian can't discuss this with me in advance! You're still hiding it!

, treat me like a bastard!"

"I..." Sun Qinghai's sweat flowed down his face, "Mayor Xu, I didn't want to hide it from you, Secretary Qian said-"

At this moment, Sun Qinghai's cell phone rang. He took out his cell phone, saw the words "Secretary Qian" displayed on the screen, and pressed the answer button cautiously.

"Sun Qinghai, Mayor Xu is investigating the accident. You must cooperate well and not be burdened. Your maintenance of the mine road is not considered work and has not caused any deaths. The town party committee will consider your contribution to the town's economy.

, reduce the punishment as appropriate. Do you understand?"

Sun Qinghai blinked and suddenly realized: "Secretary Qian! I understand! I understand! I will cooperate well!"
Chapter completed!
