Xue Kaifa vaguely remembered the scene when Li Yuanlang beside him came to Huaicheng to take office more than a year ago.

At that time, Li Yuanlang served as the secretary of Huaicheng Political and Legal Affairs Committee, but now, he has become a senior official in charge of the Deping Municipal Government.

After a lot of hard work, I finally won the position of director of the Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security, and thus moved up the ranking of deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee.

Because of this, Xue Qiang was so excited that he couldn't sleep well for several nights.

But compared with Li Yuanlang, I always feel that it is a bit inferior.

Different from last time, Xue Kaiqi started talking from the moment Li Yuanlang got into the car.

"Mayor Li, when it comes to studying the issue of Mayor Deping, Secretary Luan has defied all opinions and firmly supports you. It can be seen that Secretary Luan values ​​you very much."

While talking, Xue Kaifeng also put his hand on Li Yuanlang's arm and patted it, showing his intimacy.

Li Yuanlang just smiled and said nothing.

Xue Kaiqi didn't care and continued to talk.

"Comrade Wang Haichen from Deping City is an honest and honest man. When he and Chen Yushu were working together, Comrade Chen Yushu took the lead in major issues and rarely put forward different opinions and ideas. Therefore, in general, their team still coexist peacefully.

of."

"It's a pity that Comrade Wang Haichen is in poor health. He has no other hobbies but likes to drink a few sips. He was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis at the beginning of the year and was treated in the provincial hospital for several months. Although he got better, he was unable to do heavy work. He had no choice but to

Resign as mayor."

"Mayor Li, although Chen Yushu is a lesbian, she has a strong tenacity in her work. It is difficult to change things she has determined."

"I hope these words of mine can be helpful to you."

Li Yuanlang nodded and said, "Thank you, Minister Xue, for your advice."

From Xue Qianqi's words, Li Yuanlang already felt that Chen Yushu had a strong style.

Meeting such a soft-tempered person like Wang Haichen only increased her confidence to be strong.

Li Yuanlang closed his eyes slightly, and his mind started racing rapidly.

Because they set off after lunch, and Deping City is more than 300 kilometers away from the provincial capital Haixin. Even though the whole journey was on high speed and they stopped at the service area, by the time they arrived at the Deping toll gate, the sky had already dimmed.

After passing the toll gate, we continued walking along the ring road leading to the city. Gradually, with the help of the remaining rays of the setting sun, Li Yuanlang saw the general outline of Deping City through the car window.

High-rise buildings and busy traffic.

But the strange thing is that it is getting late and the whole city is almost pitch black except for scattered lights.

This is unscientific. Every household has to light up lights when it gets dark.

Even the street lights have to be on, what's going on?

When they were confused, the Hongqi car they were riding in drove across the cross-river bridge and entered the city. It was blocked by a long queue of vehicles in front of it and could not move at all.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, apart from the car lights, the buildings and shops on both sides of the road had only sporadic lights. The flickering lights were clearly candlelight.

Citywide power outage!

Li Yuanlang's judgment suddenly flashed in his mind.

Xue Kaiqi couldn't help but have the same thought, "There's a power outage." and ordered the co-pilot's secretary, "Xiao Zheng, please contact Xiao Heng immediately and ask him what's going on?"

Conversing with Li Yuanlang from the side: "Without traffic signals, the traffic will definitely be severely jammed."

Li Yuanlang looked through the front windshield and sighed: "Now is the rush hour after get off work. Without electricity at this time, it will cause great inconvenience to residents' lives."

Xue Kaifa agreed, "I don't know what happened to the power supply bureau. There must be something wrong with it, otherwise the electricity would not be delivered at night. Xiao Zheng, is the call connected?"

Xiao Zheng turned around, shrugged and spread his hands, "Minister, there is no signal on the mobile phone."

Li Yuanlang quickly took out his mobile phone and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was like this.

Regardless of the operator, nearby cell phone base stations are powered by alternating current, which is converted into negative 48 volts direct current through modules in the power cabinet.

There are also several sets of batteries inside the base station. In the event of a power outage, the batteries will be used to power the base station.

However, the battery power is limited after all, and it will be exhausted after two or three hours of continuous operation.

Their mobile phones have no signal now. It must be because the nearby base station has no power supply, which is why the base station cannot transmit signals.

These are some of the basic common sense that Li Yuanlang learned after becoming the CEO of Shuntong Company.

There is no end in sight of the car in front of us, and finally it is over. The most important thing is that ten minutes have passed and the car in front has not moved. How long will it take for the car to end?

Li Yuanlang said to Xue Kaiqi: "I'll go down and have a look."

"Let Xiao Zheng go." Xue Kai started to suggest.

"It's okay, I'll take a look in front."

Xue Qianqian told Xiao Zheng, "You can follow Mayor Li so that he can be taken care of."

Mu Guangsen did not come with Li Yuanlang this time. He had to wait until Li Yuanlang settled down and take office in accordance with relevant procedures.

Li Yuanlang opened the car door, because there were other vehicles in front, rear, left and right of the car, almost one next to the other.

Li Yuanlang could only move forward little by little through the narrow gap left between the two cars.

Xiao Zheng was very discerning, and he showed Li Yuanlang the way in front of him.

Keep going along this path and finally reach the crossroads.

Finally found the cause of the traffic jam.

All the traffic lights at the intersection were off, and no traffic police were seen nearby directing the vehicles.

Instead, there were two cars pushing each other's fronts against each other because they were competing for the right of way. If you didn't let me, I wouldn't let you. The two drivers even stuck out their heads and yelled at each other.

It was because of what they did that the car behind them couldn't move at all.

Although many people honked their horns to remind them, and some even came over to persuade them, these two people did not listen at all and continued to go their own way.

And as more and more vehicles gather, those who are eager to take advantage of the gap are trying to squeeze in, but the vehicles are squeezed into a dead end, unable to move at all.

Li Yuanlang could only use one word to describe the scene in front of him: chaos.

He couldn't help but frown, what do Deping traffic police do for food?

They knew clearly that there was a power outage but did not send people to divert the vehicles, causing a huge traffic jam, not only wasting everyone's time, but also delaying things.

"Xiao Zheng, does your mobile phone have a signal?" Li Yuanlang looked at his mobile phone in disappointment and asked Xiao Zheng.

His number has long been changed to Shuntong Network, and Xiao Zheng’s mobile phone has dual SIM cards, one for China Unicom and one for China Mobile, just in case of emergency.

"China Unicom doesn't have a signal, but China Mobile does." Xiao Zheng said in surprise.

"Call Xu Guangshui right away." Xu Guangshui is the Secretary-General of the Deping Municipal Government.

"Okay, I'll call right now." Xiao Zheng quickly called up the number and sent it.

Li Yuanlang looked at the chaotic scene with stern eyes and a cold face.

In this situation, he cannot step in to maintain order.

First, even if he declares that he is the newly appointed mayor, the people cannot believe it and may not necessarily obey his orders.

Furthermore, as far as the current situation is concerned, the cars are one after another, it is dark and it is difficult to see clearly, and there is no solution at all.

It is true that he is the mayor, but he is not a traffic policeman and cannot rush to the front line to do everything himself.

This kind of risky and impulsive behavior is not something he should do as a mayor.

Therefore, Li Yuanlang asked Xiao Zheng to call Xu Guangshui.

As the mayor himself, Xu Guangshui was his number one secret. Before Li Yuanlang met him, he had no choice but to contact him directly.

Fortunately, the phone can be connected.

"Hey, are you Secretary-General Xu?"

Seeing that Xiao Zheng finally contacted someone, Li Yuanlang reached out to signal, and Xiao Zheng quickly handed the phone to Li Yuanlang.

"Secretary-General Xu Guangshui, this is Li Yuanlang. Our car is stuck on the way into the city. There is a serious traffic jam here. All the vehicles are blocked here and cannot move. Please contact the comrades of the city traffic police team immediately and come here to direct and divert the traffic."

Xu Guangshui on the other end of the phone repeatedly said that he would do it immediately.

Xu Guangshui hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and called Executive Deputy Mayor Kuang Zaohui.

Kuang Zaohui is the second-largest figure in the municipal government after Li Yuanlang. Xu Guangshui does not have the ability to mobilize the city's traffic police team, but Kuang Zaohui can.

At this time, Kuang Zaohui was in the municipal party committee's small conference room, attending an enlarged emergency standing committee meeting chaired by Chen Yushu, secretary of the municipal party committee.

There is only one content, which is to make arrangements and deployment in the face of a sudden city-wide power outage.

The municipal party committee office had long received notice of Li Yuanlang's appointment.

Municipal Party Committee Secretary Chen Yushu, leading the main leaders of the four major teams of the Municipal Party Committee, had already made preparations to welcome it.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the whole city suddenly lost power.
Chapter completed!
