Chapter 38 The Unexpected Meeting

Before You Jiangang could finish his speech, the crowd burst into flames.

"How did he speak? Is he still a party cadre?" The old model worker Feng Yuejin was heartbroken and could not believe that he could say such words from the mouth of an official.

Qian Ermao said sarcastically: "Uncle Feng, you don't know. He is an official, so we just have a lot of people. Only your granite head from the 1970s and 1980s can take serving the people seriously. Come on, the public servant of the people, hehe!"

Qi Siming, who was criticized by You Jiangang's nose, was shocked by this sentence. Since he agreed to be the leader of the employees, he has also made preparations to resist. But he never expected Lei Zhengfu, You Jiangang and his gang were so arrogant and unreasonable, which was completely beyond his imagination.

Lei Zhengfu glared at You Jiangang. You Jiangang knew that he had made up his words and smiled embarrassedly, not taking this seriously.

Some words are just a tacit understanding of each other. It is not appropriate to say them, but Lei Zhengfu and even more officials are indeed the noble masters in their hearts, who separate themselves from the common people. What You Jiangang said in a hurry is also their voice?

"Deputy Mayor Lei, you heard that he is a party cadre!" Qi Siming pointed at You Jiangang, not knowing what to say.

The fat meat on Lei Zhengfu's cheeks shook, and his face quickly calmed down: "Comrade, today is related to the success or failure of the Longquan Coal Mine Reform, and whether Shenghua Group's subsequent investment projects in Dongchuan City can be successfully implemented. So I ordered you in the name of the organization to immediately explain to the employees, terminate the illegal strike, and resume normal production!"

The employees all started to shout, and the other leaders, such as Fan Ping and Li Yuanfang, looked at Qi Siming and secretly felt sweat in their hands. Today, even the riot police in the city sent over, putting on a tough stance, which put unprecedented pressure on everyone. Now it is entirely up to Qi Siming as the backbone to hold on the front. If he can't stand defeating, everyone's enthusiasm may not be as high as before.

"I'm sorry," Qi Siming shook his head and said loudly: "As a party member, I cannot speak against my conscience. The current reform plan has harmed the interests of employees, so everyone united to negotiate with Shenghua. At the same time, there are indeed signs of water permeability in a few mines. Before disposing of it, you must not rashly carry out underground operations."

In recent days, the city suddenly issued a document requiring subordinate industrial and mining enterprises to conduct comprehensive safety inspections. Anyone who is interested knows that Lin Weimin, deputy mayor in charge of public security, national security, judicial, stability maintenance and safety supervision, and Lei Zhengfu, deputy mayor in charge of industry and commerce, fought against the reform of Longquan Coal Mine.

Although Lin Weimin could not stop the adoption of the reform plan, he could use this method to save the country in a curve, give workers a chance, and also give political enemies a blow.

The workers at Longquan Coal Mine were not very aware of the fight between gods in the city, but they really found a problem. A branch tunnel in the No. 1 mining area found a mild sign of water permeability, and the direction was consistent with the abandoned tunnel that had been completely gone.

If people were sent to the abandoned tunnel to investigate, they might be able to find a more accurate situation. The problem is that the mine manager Huang Zhiyong said that the tunnel had been abandoned for decades and was not in line with the current mine. He had been banned and was not allowed to go down to investigate. Some people suspected that he did this because he had an interest relationship with the small coal mine not far away.

Therefore, whether from the perspective of employees' ways out after the reform or the perspective of safe production, Qi Siming chose to adhere to principles and not hesitate to violate the authority of a deputy mayor.

"Very good, very good," Lei Zhengfu looked at Qi Siming with a sneer, and suddenly his smile disappeared, "Inciting workers to go on an illegal strike and destroying the reform of Longquan Coal Mine has violated national laws!"

The senior police officer with the first-level police rank on his shoulder winked at several subordinates, and the two policemen grabbed Qi Siming's arm from left to right and wanted to take him into the police car.

"Why should I catch my husband?" Lu Aihua suddenly became excited. The factory doctor who was usually kind and beautiful turned into a tigress at this moment.

The riot police stopped her with a shield. No matter how excited Lu Aihua was, she was not as strong as these young men. She couldn't rush into the circle. She called her husband's name and pushed the shield in vain.

Qi Ran on the hillside had already pulled his feet and ran to this side. Seeing his father's arms being cut by two policemen, his mother was pushing the shield in vain, and there seemed to be flames burning in his chest.

The sun shone on his face, and the running boy gritted his teeth tightly, his nose wings opened due to rapid breathing, his youthful face turned red, his eyes were filled with unyielding and anger. He shouted with all his might, almost pushing out all the air in his lungs: "Let go of my dad!"

When Lei Zhengfu heard the shout, he turned his head and looked at Qi Ran. Seeing the angry face of the boy, the deputy mayor was stunned.

He vaguely saw his own shadow in Qi Ran, from thirty years ago.

In fact, Lei Zhengfu was not born as arrogant and domineering as he is now. He was born in a poor rural family in Dongchuan. When he was a child, he had to chop firewood, chop grass, and cut rice, and do all kinds of farm work. He had no shoes to wear and had to beat barefoot all year round.

Once, because he could not hand over the public grain, the village cadre slapped his father twice. He rushed up to protect his father like Qi Ran today. That scene was deeply engraved in the depths of his memory.

The past is unbearable to look back on.

"Mayor Lei, Mayor Lei, you?" You Jiangang reminded next to him.

Lei Zhengfu woke up from his memories, smiled, and waved his hand: "Don't let him in, take away the main elements who incite the illegal strike!"

Studying, studying, studying, entering the system, and becoming a prosperous official, today Lei Zhengfu is no longer the simple young man who was diligent in studying and working hard to change his destiny, but a deputy department-level leading cadre who held the economic power of Dongchuan City and was a skilled official who wandered in both the political and business circles and engaged in exchanges of interests. So he easily and freely packed up his little feelings in his heart and returned to his original identity position.

Qi Siming struggled, and was squeezed into the police car by two policemen. Lu Aihua beat the shield of the riot police in vain.

Qi Ran rushed to the front of the row of riot police. The boy had already red eyes and kicked the shield like crazy, "Let my dad go, I saw a sign of water seeping in the mine, you are unreasonable!"

The array of shields seemed like an indestructible city wall, unmoving.

"We can't let them take Qi Gong away!" Fan Ping could no longer bear it. Qi Siming had originally agreed not to have conflicts with Lei Zhengfu and the others, but how could he bear it? He turned around and shouted at the staff and the masses.

"It's too bullying, too bullying," Feng Yuejin staggered over: "My leg was smashed by a landslide in 1983. I changed to a model worker. You have the ability to break my other leg!"

More employees and family members rushed forward and pushed and shoved the riot police, and some women helped Lu Aihua, who had already been exhausted, sit down.

"Qiran, let's help you!" Fan Wei and Wang Jiansong also ran over and stood beside Qiran.

The riot police circle was suppressed by the crowd and contracted again and again, with their faces ashen. They were sent to perform such a fucking task, and everyone was cursing in their hearts.

"What are you doing? Huang Zhiyong, what are you doing?!" You Jiangang was so angry that he scolded the mine manager Huang Zhiyong.

As the conflict became more and more intense, several young riot policemen were also aroused their anger, and their hands holding the baton were loose and tight.

At this moment, the crowds towards the mining area road loosened, and more and more people stopped catching and looked at the road.

A black Passat was galloping.

Could it be Mr. Chen from Shenghua? Lei Zhengfu's fat face shivered. When he saw the Dongchuan license plate on the car, his face became less beautiful. He said to himself: "What are Lin Weimin coming here for?"

Qi Ran heard from the employees that Deputy Mayor Lin and knew that it was Lin Yan's father who came, he no longer got entangled with the riot police and watched Passat with everyone.

Passat stopped and two leaders came out of the back row, one was Lu Zhiguo, the tall director of the Industrial Bureau, and the other was elegant and wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He was five or sixty-sixth-similar to Lin Yan. Qi Ran knew that this was the father of his dream lover, Deputy Mayor Lin Weimin.

When Lu Zhiguo saw Qi Siming's arm being cut by the police, he was shocked and his eyes swept through the crowd. He soon discovered Qi Ran, so he whispered something to Lin Weimin.

Lin Weimin followed Lu Zhiguo's gaze and saw that Qi was in a very embarrassed state.
