Chen Yushu picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then turned to ask Li Yuanlang: "Major supermarkets in the city are equipped with generators. Wouldn't it be unnecessary to remove them for them?"

Li Yuanlang was full of confidence and said calmly: "I asked around on the way here. Generators are available in big supermarkets, but not in small supermarkets. Because of the power outage, generators were sold very quickly in the city, and all the generators with high power and small power were sold out.

It’s sold out.”

"We can send generators to those small supermarkets to ensure normal business operations of the supermarkets while also eliminating the problem of arbitrary price increases."

"The market supervision department must go deep into supermarkets and catering business outlets to check prices and supply conditions. If they find any illegal price-raising behavior, they will investigate and deal with them together. They will not tolerate it and fundamentally stop unscrupulous merchants from taking advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.

attempt."

"This power outage was caused by an unpredictable natural disaster. Our municipal party committee and government cannot allow people to waste their money due to poor supervision, causing public complaints and complaints. We should try to minimize the negative impact."

"In addition, the three major operators and Shuntong Company must be urged to ensure smooth communication. On the road into the city, my mobile phone had no signal."

After listening to Li Yuanlang's speech, Chen Yushu pondered for a moment and said: "Mayor Li's suggestions are very targeted. The municipal party committee and government will immediately launch an emergency plan, and all departments will implement it according to the content of the plan when they return."

Then he looked at Xue Qifan and said apologetically: "Minister Xue, the municipal party committee had prepared a dinner for you in the guest house, but due to the power outage, I had to force you to have a working meal."

Xue Kaiqi spread his hands indifferently, "It's a special situation, I understand."

Li Yuanlang did not accompany Xue Kai to have dinner, and rushed to the city government building in a hurry.

As an executive department, the city government still has a lot to do.

In addition to Li Yuanlang, the Deping Municipal Government also has six deputy mayors.

Everyone gathered in the small conference room of the municipal government, and Li Yuanlang presided over a meeting to study and implement the emergency plan for the start of the power outage issued by the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee.

There was a power outage across the city, resulting in a water outage. In the absence of water and electricity, how to solve the daily life problems of residents has become the top priority of this meeting.

Li Yuanlang implemented the tasks one by one on the head of each deputy mayor, requiring them to come to the front line to command and report the implementation status to him in a timely manner.

After the meeting, Li Yuanlang was in his office, standing in front of the window and overlooking the night view of Deping City.

Dotted with dots of lights, the city in the silent night finally exuded a hint of vitality, unlike the original darkness and lifelessness.

There was a knock on the door, and Xu Guangshui, secretary-general of the municipal government office, walked in carrying an insulated lunch box.

"Mayor Li, I see that you have been busy for more than an hour and haven't even bothered to eat dinner. No, I asked the canteen to fry some dishes for you. You can eat your meal first."

"Secretary-General Xu, after you mentioned it like this, I'm really hungry. Thank you."

Xu Guangshui laid out the insulated lunch boxes one by one, handed Li Yuanlang chopsticks, refilled his thermos cup with water, brought it over and sat on the sofa opposite Li Yuanlang.

"Let's eat together?" Li Yuanlang asked.

"I've eaten, you can eat." Xu Guangshui lit a cigarette and puffed out the smoke.

Li Yuanlang sighed while eating, "I encountered a city-wide power outage when I first came to Deping. It deeply touched me. Deping's urban construction is really too backward."

"Modern commercial and residential communities all have their own power generation equipment. In the event of a power outage, the power generation equipment will be started to ensure that the elevators in the community can be used, so that high-rise residents will not have to endure the pain of going up and down the stairs. Obviously, from this point of view alone, the modern commercial complex in Deping City

There shouldn’t be many living quarters.”

Xu Guangshui nodded in agreement, "Mayor Li's analysis is that the old town of Deping is dominated by old residential areas. During the renovation of shantytowns in the past few years, due to many reasons, the renovation process was slow and has not been implemented effectively."

"Now that the state is regulating real estate, the opportunities we have missed will never come back."

"Wait until you have the opportunity to take a look tomorrow. Deping's urban construction is indeed not as good as other places. To describe it as shabby is not an exaggeration."

Li Yuanlang greatly recognized Xu Guangshui's candid and honest attitude.

He felt that the situation in Deping City was far more difficult than he understood.

When he thought of this, Li Yuanlang suddenly lost his appetite. He put down his chopsticks after eating only a little, picked up the thermos cup and took a sip of tea, falling into deep thought.

Xu Guangshui took out a cigarette and handed one to Li Yuanlang. After lighting it for him, he changed the subject.

"Mayor Li, we can only temporarily arrange for you to live in the city government guest house tonight. The new residence is in the municipal party committee residential area. I will take you there to take a look tomorrow."

"In addition, I have completed the transfer procedures for Comrade Mu Guangsen, and he will be here tomorrow. I have also arranged the driver and special car. If you have any other instructions, please tell me and I will handle it right away."

Li Yuanlang shook his head and leaned back, "It's okay. I'm just waiting for the call."

After Xu Guangshui packed his lunch box and left, Li Yuanlang walked to his desk, picked up the phone and called Deputy Mayor Geng Huanqing's cell phone.

"Mayor Geng, have you arrived at the emergency repair site?"

Geng Huanqing panted and said, "I just arrived and was listening to Director Zhang's report."

"How far is the emergency repair work going? How long will it take before power can be delivered?"

At this time, Zhang Chunhai's voice came over the phone: "Mayor Li, the new wiring tower has been erected. Comrades transferred from the neighboring city's brother units are working with our bureau's emergency repair personnel to speed up the progress and strive for an hour.

The power supply can be restored within a day.”

All in all, the time limit stipulated by Chen Yushu is not much different.

Then, Li Yuanlang contacted several other deputy mayors and inquired about their inspection status.

At this stage, maintaining normal life order and easing the panic among citizens caused by power outages are the top priorities.

Fortunately, due to effective measures, there has been basically no price gouging in supermarkets, which has reduced citizens' concerns.

When talking to Lou Tianyuan on the phone, he said that all members of the city's traffic police detachment were on duty at major intersections in the city to direct traffic, and the traffic jam has been alleviated.

Travel vehicles are driving in an orderly manner and have generally returned to their original levels.

As soon as I hung up the phone, I saw a sudden brightness outside the window.

The call is coming!

Looking at the lights on in every house, Li Yuanlang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he called Xu Guangshui and asked him to prepare a car and go out with him to express condolences to the traffic police on duty at the front line and the maintenance personnel of the Power Supply Bureau at the rescue site in the suburbs.

After a full circle, it was already past ten o'clock at night when Li Yuanlang arrived at the municipal party committee guest house.

After washing up, Li Yuanlang was lying on the bed while video chatting with Bai Qing. Li Yuanlang smiled helplessly: "I have gained a lot today. I caught up with the city's power outage as soon as I arrived, and I even took a police car to work for the first time. Wife, I have traveled so many places, these

It’s the first time I’ve encountered them.”

Bai Qing listened carefully and interjected: "Looking at your tired face, you must be anxious and angry again. Go to bed early. Tomorrow is your first day as mayor of Deping. You must face the world with a full working attitude."

.”

"Well, I'm really sleepy, bye."

That night, Li Yuanlang slept soundly.

Early the next morning, Li Yuanlang got up, packed up, and went to Xue Kai's room upstairs to have breakfast with him.

Chen Yushu did not come forward, so Li Yuanlang represented her, which showed the etiquette that the Deping Municipal Party Committee should have.

During the meal, Xue Kaiquan said: "Mayor Li, you made a great start last night, I congratulate you."

"You're welcome, Minister Xue. I'm trying to catch a duck, so I have to carry a gun."

"Mayor Li, I can actually feel that at last night's meeting, some people were prepared to laugh at your jokes. But after you made a well-founded statement, those who were watching at least changed their view of you. This is

Good thing."

How could Li Yuanlang not know this?

The Standing Committee paused midway, saying that it was waiting for him, but it was not to see how he, the new mayor, would perform.

But just in time, it gave him a stage to show his ability and gave others the opportunity to truly understand him.

It’s not a blessing in disguise, bad things eventually turn into good things.

It can be said that Li Yuanlang won a complete victory in his first battle in Deping City.
Chapter completed!
