Chapter 3 Another Trap
He is considered a member of the officialdom, so why is he not tempted by an official position? But for the sake of a deputy section officer, does he really want to betray his female leader and betray his conscience?
No, he immediately made a negative choice in his mind.
"County Magistrate Cao, thank you for your concern and being able to tell me so much frankly."
Hao Feng is good at writing and not lacking in eloquence:
"But I really didn't see anything. I can't fabricate facts and frame people, right?"
Cao Xingwang immediately darkened his face and his voice became stern:
"Okay, Xiao Hao, I've said everything I need to say to you, and it's up to you to decide. I hope you won't regret it."
"You can also go back and think about it carefully. When you have figured it out, come and tell me."
"But no matter what, I hope you will keep what I said to you today secret. If you tell her, what will be the consequences? You should be able to think of it, go ahead."
Cao Xingwang waved his hand out in disappointment.
Hao Feng stood up and walked out.
Back in the office, Hao Feng thought for a moment, then immediately took out his mobile phone and told Liu Jinglan the situation on WeChat:
County Magistrate Liu, Director Yang and Magistrate Cao just talked to me and asked about what happened last night. I refused to tell them. They were very angry, but I am not afraid!
They are really targeting you, so be careful!
After a while, Liu Jinglan replied:
Hao Feng, you have done a good job, but you will be retaliated by them, so you should be more careful!
Unexpectedly, only two days later, the retaliation would come!
At around two o'clock that afternoon, Yang Weifei walked to Hao Feng's desk and said to him in a commanding tone:
"Hao Feng, there is a safety accident at the new energy power plant construction site in Binhai Development Zone. You should rush over immediately, write a press release, and send it to all media."
"What the county government means is to report only the number of injured and not the situation of the deceased. You have to give me the manuscript before you get off work!"
"Okay, Director Yang."
After receiving the order, Hao Feng stood up without thinking: "Then how do I get there?"
"County Magistrate Cao, Deputy Magistrate Lin who is in charge of security work, and others have already gone to the scene. You go out and call a ride-hailing service. I will reimburse you when you come back."
Hao Feng walked out quickly carrying a backpack and took out his mobile phone to call for a ride-hailing service.
As soon as he reached the gate below, the online taxi arrived.
Hao Feng used his mobile phone to search for the address of the new energy power plant, then opened Baidu Navigation and asked the driver to follow the navigation.
It took more than half an hour to arrive at the power plant construction site in the development zone.
The construction site was surrounded by people watching the excitement. The construction site had stopped working and the atmosphere was very heavy.
The outer formwork and steel pipe scaffolding of the tall cooling tower of the power plant collapsed, killing six people and injuring 11 others.
This is a major safety accident!
Four ambulances and three corpse trucks came to the construction site, and the heads of relevant departments arrived to deal with the funeral arrangements.
A cordon was set up outside the construction site, and police officers stood outside as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The families of the deceased and injured who had received the news first were crying and shouting, and there were people surrounding them who were constantly trying to persuade them.
The injured were put into ambulances one by one, dripping with blood, and the dead covered with black cloth were carried into the corpse truck.
The scene was as chaotic as a pot of porridge, and everyone looked solemn.
Hao Feng also felt very heavy. He wanted to walk into the accident scene to take a look, but was stopped by a policeman.
"I am Hao Feng, secretary of the county government, and I have been ordered to come and write a summary of this accident."
As he spoke, he took out his work ID card.
The policeman looked at his ID and pointed to a small building in front:
"Secretary Hao, that's the accident scene headquarters. You can go to the headquarters for interviews."
Hao Feng turned around and walked towards the small building.
Walking into the small building, Hao Feng saw the county magistrate Cao Xingwang sitting on a chair with a gloomy face, with a group of people standing around him.
He knew a few people, one of whom was the president of Jiangbin Construction Group, named Shi Guohong.
He glanced at Hao Feng warily and whispered something to Cao Xingwang.
Hao Feng walked straight to Cao Xingwang:
"County Magistrate Cao, Director Yang asked me to write a news report."
Cao Xingwang glanced at Shi Guohong, straightened his upper body and said:
"Xiao Hao, this matter cannot be reported truthfully. Reporters are not allowed to enter the accident site, so I ask you to write a news release."
Hao Feng felt "grateful" in his heart, feeling that something was coming.
Just now, he only thought it was a writing task, and he didn't expect there would be a trap at all:
If you don't report truthfully, you will be held responsible for concealing it. If you insist on reporting truthfully, Cao Xingwang and the others will have reason to retaliate against him.
Hao Feng felt a little uneasy and asked softly:
"Why can't it be reported truthfully?"
Cao Xingwang winked at Shi Guohong, and Shi Guohong came up and explained:
"Secretary Hao, our Jiangbin County Construction Group is the one contracting this construction site. If an accident occurs on the construction site and more than three people die, it is a major safety accident."
"Our Jiangbin Construction Group has special qualifications. If a major accident occurs, the qualification certificate will either be downgraded or revoked. This will not only have an impact on the projects contracted by Jiangbin Construction Group, but will also be detrimental to the economic development of the entire Jiangbin County.
Influence."
"If more than five people are injured, the production safety certificate will also be revoked, and Jiangbin Construction Group will not be able to undertake the project. This will cause financial and tax losses of two to three billion to our county every year."
As he said this, he glanced at Cao Xingwang as if asking for help.
Cao Xingwang said to Hao Feng:
"So the county government decided to report only three injuries and zero deaths."
Hao Feng couldn't help but said:
"The state does not allow concealment of reports, and concealment of reports must be done responsibly."
"Crack!"
Cao Xingwang slapped the table in front of him and glared:
"You can write whatever you are told. Why do you talk so much nonsense?"
Hao Feng was stunned.
Is Cao Xingwang speaking for Jiangbin Construction Group and Shi Guohong just for Jiangbin's economic considerations?
Is there any personal relationship here? Did Shi Guohong benefit Cao Xingwang?
Hao Feng said nothing, and Cao Xingwang spoke sternly:
"If you don't write it, get out of the county government!"
"From tomorrow on, you won't be able to come to work!"
Hao Feng was so angry that he really wanted to turn around and leave. He couldn't retaliate so quickly, right?
But he thought of Liu Jinglan and wanted to call her to discuss it before making a decision.
At this time, Lin Debin, the deputy county magistrate in charge of production safety, came up to persuade:
"Secretary Hao, you have to understand County Magistrate Cao. He also cares about the economy and reputation of Jianghai County."
Hao Feng was pushed into a chair by him:
"This is the intention of the county government. Even if it has any responsibilities, it will not be borne by you. What are you afraid of?"
Hao Feng neither wanted to bow to strong power, nor did he want to lose his hard-won civil servant position. He was very conflicted and sat there with his head down, thinking about countermeasures.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately stood up calmly and said:
"Okay, County Magistrate Cao, I will write according to your instructions."
