Chapter 905: Going Down the Well to Rescue People (2)
Qi Tongwei quickly ate a few buns and drank a cup of soy milk, then stood up and went back to the command post to change his clothes.
Secretary Wang Wenjie had already prepared a set of labor protection equipment for going down the well. When he saw Qi Tongwei coming in, he took off Qi Tongwei's wet coat.
As Qi Tongwei took off his clothes, he looked at Wang Wenjie, whose eyes were red, and scolded him with a smile: "Why do you have that expression? It's like I'm going to die."
Wang Wenjie choked up and said, "Mayor, a son of a wealthy family should not sit in the hall. You shouldn't go down this well."
Qi Tongwei took the work clothes and put them on, "Then who should leave? The workers? Or you?
No one’s life is not a life, and no one is nobler than anyone else.
We often talk about awareness and dedication, but we can't just talk about it. When it's our turn, we have to step up.
Otherwise, the people will eventually get tired of hearing these slogans, and the credibility and public support accumulated by the older generation will sooner or later be exhausted by these slogans."
"But you are the deputy commander, so you will be more useful if you stay here."
"Having said that, you have to look at the situation at the time. The workers were unwilling to go, and without familiar workers, the task would have been difficult to complete, and hundreds of lives would have been at stake."
Wang Wenjie said: "Mayor, you always think about others, why don't you think more about yourself? What if you..."
Qi Tongwei patted Wang Wenjie on the shoulder and said firmly, "There is no such thing as a one-time event! We Red Star Party members must have faith and, more importantly, confidence. I believe in Comrade Ruijin, and I believe in everyone. As long as we all work together, we will surely be able to overcome all odds!"
Wang Wenjie opened his mouth and finally sighed, "Mayor, you promised me that you would come up!"
"Don't worry, the King of Hell is reluctant to take me away." Qi Tongwei patted Wang Wenjie again and walked out of the command post.
As soon as I lifted the door curtain, I saw Yu Xiaoxiao standing at the door with red eyes.
Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "Oh, Deputy Mayor Yu, what a coincidence."
"I...I want to talk to you about work arrangements." Yu Xiaoxiao's eyes wandered and her hand pretended to lift her hair casually.
Qi Tongwei noticed that the other party secretly wiped the corner of his eyes.
This girl, I wonder if she is eavesdropping.
Are you moved by me?
Yes, even a man like Wenjie could be moved to tears, so even if she is a woman with a heart of stone, she would soften her heart.
Qi Tongwei was secretly happy.
"Okay, come in." Qi Tongwei turned around and went back to the command post.
Yu Xiaoxiao followed in.
The two men sat opposite each other. Wang Wenjie poured them a cup of tea and tactfully left the command post.
As a secretary, observing people's words and expressions is a basic skill. His leader and this Deputy Mayor are hiding something.
Wang Wenjie only hopes that Deputy Mayor Yu can persuade his leader.
Yu Xiaoxiao picked up the tea, took a sip, and secretly looked at Qi Tongwei, but did not dare to meet Qi Tongwei's eyes.
Qi Tongwei found it funny. After knowing Yu Xiaoxiao for so many years, this was the first time he saw her acting like a little girl.
On weekdays, whenever they see each other, they always have an attitude of keeping away from each other.
Qi Tongwei pretended to be relaxed and said, "Xiaoxiao, I'm leaving this place to you. The lives of Mayor Ruijin and I are also in your hands. If you encounter any situation, you must remain calm and listen to the experts' advice." He smiled and said as if recalling something, "Speaking of staying calm, I still have confidence in you. I've known you for so many years and have never seen you panic.
No, it should be said that he rarely even smiles and is not happy with his expression. This is the style of a great general.
By the way, Xiaoxiao, I haven't seen you smile properly in all these years. Can you smile today? Give me some encouragement?
Yu Xiaoxiao's face turned pale and blue. She wanted to get angry, but she felt that she shouldn't be angry.
"Can you please be serious!?"
Qi Tongwei shrugged and leaned back in his chair, "Just to liven up the atmosphere. Look, you're anxious again.
To be honest, I was quite nervous and scared when I was about to go down the well.
Yu Xiaoxiao said unhappily: "Then why are you all still trying to show off?
Is this how a commander-in-chief and a deputy commander-in-chief manage the overall situation?
Have you ever thought about the consequences? If something happens to you, not only the North Mountain of Tianzhou, but also the entire Han River and the entire China will be shaken. "
The death of two mayors in one accident has a far greater impact than a major accident.
Don’t talk about everyone being equal. The fact is that the mayor’s life is more precious than that of ordinary people.
Qi Tongwei was silent for a moment, scratched the back of his head, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Yeah, I was impulsive.
But what can we do? We can't oppress the workers and the people.
Think about when our Red Star Party was fighting for the world. When did the revolutionary martyrs ever feel that they were commanders and should hide behind any command?
Today, too, we cannot hold on to such thoughts."
"How can this be the same? You have more important responsibilities!"
Qi Tongwei said: "What's the difference? They all have one head on one shoulder.
Let me be passionate once more, otherwise I will always feel sorry for the eighty words that Teacher Gao made me swear.
Yu Xiaoxiao was stunned, looked at Qi Tongwei's resolute face, and fell silent.
Qi Tongwei felt that he was being a bit too sentimental, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "Actually, we don't have to think the situation is so bad. I think there is definitely no risk in going down the well this time.
Think about it, this Class 4 mine hadn’t collapsed for so many years, but it was recently shut down by Comrade Ruijin.
I thought I'd just use it, there was no way I could be that unlucky.
It's likely we'll go down and open the passage, rescue the workers, and everyone will be happy." He then joked, "Who knows, maybe with this achievement, I'll get another promotion. Then you'll have to call me Governor Qi."
Yu Xiaoxiao couldn't laugh.
Before coming, she repeatedly confirmed the risks with experts. If she just went down the well, the risk would naturally be very low.
However, no one can control the risks involved in opening up the channel.
If the operating platform of Daqing Mine is in serious condition, or the connection position between the two is incorrect.
Once the passage is opened, several dangerous situations are likely to occur.
One possibility is that due to the height difference between the mines on both sides, the water level in the Daqing mine was higher, and the pent-up water, coal, or rock layers suddenly rushed out, swallowing up the people who came to rescue.
Another possibility is getting lost. Since the mines in Tianzhou Coal Mine are all mined over the line, many passages have not been recorded.
If the mine collapses and changes the structure below, causing the team to mistakenly enter other passages, they may very likely get lost below.
Once you enter this underground maze, even the most experienced workers wouldn't dare to guarantee they can get out.
With such worries, Yu Xiaoxiao couldn't even laugh.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
Qi Tongwei had no choice but to change the subject, "Do you have any problems with your work? I can help you solve them if I can."
Yu Xiaoxiao shook her head.
At this time, Sha Ruijin's voice calling for assembly came from outside.
Qi Tongwei stood up and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you from now on." He then gave another instruction: "By the way, Governor Zhao is on his way. If he finds out we went down the mine and gets angry at you, you can push the blame onto Comrade Ruijin and me, understand?"
