Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lou Lang returned to the district committee and reported to Gao Jue the exact words of the director of the Seismological Bureau.

    After hearing this, Gao Jue couldn't help but frown slightly.  Gao Jue was really not sure about the efficiency of the Earthquake Bureau. Once something happened, the consequences would be disastrous.  Tongjiang District is currently building a subway, building an Expo park, and building a business district. If an earthquake occurs, everything will be lost.

    The World Expo will be held next year, and it will not be completed by then. This is indeed a force majeure. No one can say anything, but the development of Tongjiang District may just fall into a trough.

    Of course, this is easy to say. I am afraid that an earthquake will cause huge casualties. In this case, it will not be good.

    Now is an animal migration warning. The government must respond and cannot remain silent. In this case, the outside world will inevitably panic.  When Lou Lang went to the Earthquake Bureau, Xia Delai came to discuss with Gao Jue that the government should give the local people an explanation.  Is it to prepare the people for earthquakes, or is it a false alarm and nothing will happen.

    "At this juncture, we can't talk nonsense. If we issue instructions to let the people prepare for earthquakes, Tongjiang will be in chaos.  But if nothing happens, if there is an earthquake, not only will the people suffer and the local area suffers heavy losses, Xia Delai will also have to bear the responsibility of leadership.  Normally, if there are no accidents, this leadership responsibility is enough for Xia Delai to go home, but now with the feud between Gao Jue and Yao Chun, I am afraid that not only Xia Delai will go home, but Gao Jue will also be involved.

    Therefore, Gao Jue did not dare to make an easy decision on what kind of instructions he should issue.  Let Xia Delai go back and wait while he waits for news from Lou Lang before making a decision.

    The Earthquake Administration is not sure.  Gao Jue is not sure, but if the government does not express its position, that is absolutely unacceptable.  There are so many snakes migrating on the road and the domestic animals are restless. It is obviously a warning. If the government does not give an explanation immediately, the people will definitely be panicked and something will happen again.  The consequences can be big or small.

    Gao Jue couldn't make it right for a while, so he grabbed the cigarette case from the table, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a few puffs quietly.

    Lou Lang, who was sitting on the sofa, saw that Secretary Gao was silent, so he could only sit there and say nothing.

    Gao Jue took a few puffs of cigarette.  Then he stood up, walked slowly to the window, and looked out the window.  The weather is very sunny today, and the sun is shining on your body, making you feel particularly comfortable.

    It rained for three days in a row, and it just cleared up today.  So today the sun looks brighter than usual.  Gao Jue lowered his head and looked down and could see water stains on the ground.  Seeing this, Gao Jue couldn't help but think of the rain three days ago.

    In mid-March, it is rare to see continuous rainy days.  Although a spring rain is normal, there is no mention of it raining for three days.

    Gao Jue followed.  What Lao Niu was talking about back then was the rice flower flood.  Today, in August and September, there will be fragrant rice. If there is heavy rainfall during this period, it is likely to cause floods.  Just in case, Gao Jue has asked the Water Conservancy Bureau to raise the dam, which is expected to be completed before the Daohua flood.  Now that snakes, insects, rats and ants are moving and livestock are restless, is this a sign that this year's rice flood will lead to disaster?

    Gao Jue took a breath of cold air. Spring has just begun now, and the rainfall is so abundant. When the rice flower season comes in the summer, the rainfall will be even greater, and it is normal to cause flooding.  But he immediately realized that this was unlikely. If there was going to be a flood, animals would be alert to foresee danger, but they wouldn't be able to foresee it now.  It's only mid-March now, and it's still early for the rice flower season.

    He couldn¡¯t figure out the reason. If this phenomenon suddenly occurred in summer, Gao Jue could immediately determine that it was a flood warning, so that the entire Tongjiang River could be prepared for flood control.  But now, it's too early.

    Gao Jue knew that if he issued a flood warning now, Tongjiang would be destroyed.  No one dares to invest in building a factory in Tongjiang, and even if it has just been negotiated, they will wait and see.  Even the subway project may be stopped.  Because the risk is too great.  Therefore, it is impossible for Gao Jue to issue an early warning now.  Besides, summer hasn't arrived yet, and God knows when the rainfall will be heavy. What if it's a false alarm?  Moreover, the dike has been raised in summer and is expected to be able to withstand it.

    But Gao Jue wasn¡¯t sure about saying it was okay, and he didn¡¯t know what the warning signs from these animals meant.  Sometimes, unknown dangers are the most frightening.

    After thinking for a long time, Gao Jue suddenly said calmly: "Lou Lang, go to District Chief Xia and tell him truthfully the reply from the Seismological Bureau, and then tell him not to cause panic among the masses.  Now, Tongjiang needs to be stabilized.¡±

    "Yes, Secretary Gao, I'll go right away." Lou Lang agreed, immediately stood up, left Gao Jue's office, and headed to the district chief's office at the other end of the corridor.

    Arrive at Xia Delai¡¯s officeIn the room, Lou Lang followed Gao Jue's instructions and told Xia Delai exactly what Gao Jue said.

    Xia Delai is so sophisticated. After listening to Lou Lang's words, he understood what Gao Jue meant.  Gao Jue clearly wanted the government to refute the rumors and just say that everything was safe and sound, so as to eliminate people's panic.  This statement is actually simple. For example, it is spring and these snakes have just finished hibernation and are now emerging. This is a normal migration.  As for the restlessness of domestic animals, it may be that it is spring and it is the estrus period, so this is inevitable.

    Of course, Gao Jue did not speak to Xia De in person, nor did he tell Xia De what to do. He just asked Lou Lang to give the earthquake bureau's answer and the word "stable". The intention here was also very simple, just to  Keep yourself clear that everything is the government¡¯s will.

    ¡°This kind of thing is basically the government¡¯s responsibility, and the good and the bad are all the government¡¯s responsibility.  There is nothing wrong with Gao Jue doing this.

    Xia Delai didn't say much, and immediately sent a document to the Propaganda Department, asking the Propaganda Department to contact the newspaper to refute the rumors immediately so as not to panic the people.

    However, such a big thing happened in Tongjiang. There were large numbers of snakes migrating on several streets, and many domestic animals were restless. It was really abnormal.  Many people saw this scene, and it quickly spread throughout Tongjiang.  Those who understand are saying that something is going to happen in Tongjiang, maybe an earthquake or something, so everyone must be careful.

    Even though the government came forward to refute the rumors, the panic among the people has not been eliminated.

    Early the next morning, the first thing that represented the panic of the people happened, that is, the vendors who originally set up stalls to sell vegetables in the underground passage all set up behind the street, and no one dared to go down to sell.  The law enforcement team under the Environmental Sanitation Bureau found that vendors were selling vegetables on the street, so it was inevitable that law enforcement would be dispatched. Of course, there were too many stalls on the street, and this could not be punished. All we could do was ask why.

    The vendors all expressed that they were worried about the earthquake and did not dare to go down. If there was an earthquake, they would not be able to run away and would not be buried underneath.  Therefore, I didn¡¯t dare to go down for a while, so I planned to sell it on the top first. If there was an earthquake, I would at least be able to escape.  Everyone has also discussed that we will sell it up there for a while first, and then we can go down after the limelight has passed and we are sure there will be no earthquakes.

    There is some truth in what these vendors said. Tongjiang District now pays attention to civilized law enforcement. Secretary Gao is here to take charge, and no one dares to make mistakes.  Sporadic cases can be arrested and punished, but large-scale cases cannot be acted upon rashly.  So the law enforcement team members immediately withdrew their troops and went back to report to their leaders. What should they do now?

    This must be reported step by step. The law enforcement team member reports to the captain, the captain reports to the director, the director reports to the deputy district chief in charge, and the deputy district chief reports to the district chief.

    When Xia Delai heard about this, he hurried to Gao Jue's office.

    After the two met, they were polite and then sat down on the sofa together.  Immediately afterwards, Xia Delai told Gao Jue that the vendors were afraid to set up stalls in the underground passage.

    Gao Jue couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.

    Vendors are now setting up stalls on the streets. It is indeed forgivable and not unreasonable. Everyone is afraid of death. There is just a warning and there is nothing wrong with worrying about earthquakes.

    But their actions represent the will of the people!

    It is obvious that people are really afraid of the coming earthquake.  Even if the government refuted the rumors, it could not dispel their concerns.

    People here in Tongjiang District are afraid of earthquakes. Wouldn¡¯t those who plan to invest in Tongjiang be afraid of earthquakes?

    Gao Jue can imagine that these interested people must be holding back and waiting and watching.

    "District Chief, what do you think we should do about this?" Gao Jue looked at Xia Delai and asked calmly.

    "Secretary Gao, now the people are panicked and the vendors are afraid to go to the underground passages to sell. In fact, this is nothing. The point is that their actions will completely make this panic continue to spread. We should think of a way now to stop this.  This kind of panic continues to spread, otherwise, the consequences will be very serious for the developing Tongjiang River." Xia Delai said seriously.

    "I think so too. It's just that right now, it's not that easy to quell the rumors." Gao Jue shook his head and said.

    "I can't think of any good way." Xia Delai shook his head at this moment.

    As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door, "Dang, dang, dang"

    "Come in!" Gao Jue shouted and turned to look at the door.

    With a "click", the door opened and Xu Yan walked in from the outside.

    After Xu Yan came in, he immediately greeted politely, "Secretary Gao, District Chief"

    After saying that, she looked at Xia Delai.

    Why is she looking at Xia Delai? This isThe smart thing about Yan Yan is that she is now the director of the government office. Although all fools know that Xu Yan is from Gao Jue, in front of Xia Delai, she has to act like the director of the government office.  Otherwise, this would make Xia Delai very disgusted.

    "Xiao Xu, what's the matter?" Seeing Xu Yan looking at him, Xia Delai asked.
