At this time, Chen Yushu was furious with Zhang Chunhai, director of the Municipal Power Supply Bureau. He slapped the table and made the teacups on the table tremble.

"Director Zhang, your power supply bureau is really good at providing eye drops. Mayor Li is about to arrive, but you have a power outage at this time. Can you explain the reason? What measures have you taken?"

Zhang Chunhai is in his fifties and wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

He said with a sad face: "Secretary Chen, fellow leaders, at about 3:35 this afternoon, the high-voltage transmission line tower specifically for the urban area suddenly collapsed in the strong wind. This caused the other two connected wiring towers to collapse.

The tower also tilted and the power supply line was disconnected."

"In response to emergencies, our municipal party committee immediately organized relevant departments to go to make emergency repairs. According to the information I have received, the skewed cable towers have been straightened, but the collapsed cable towers cannot be used, and new cable towers are being transported.

On the way, it will be transported to the site for erection soon..."

Chen Yushu frowned slightly, raised his hand and interrupted: "I don't want to listen to the process, I just want to know when the power will be restored."

"Um..." Zhang Chunhai adjusted the frames of his glasses and said hesitantly: "It will take about five to seven hours."

"What!" Chen Yushu stared, "So, the whole city is going to have a dark night without lights? No, you speed up. If you don't have enough manpower, ask other brother cities for help. I don't care what method you use, within three hours,

Electricity must be sent.”

"Secretary Chen, three hours is difficult."

Chen Yushu shook his head and waved, "That's it. The time limit is three hours. You should return to work quickly. I'll wait here to see the lights come back on."

Zhang Chunhai still wanted to defend himself, but Deputy Secretary Zhao Xin interjected: "Old Zhang, if you have time to speak, why not tell your subordinates. If the provincial party committee knows about such a major power supply accident, Secretary Chen will bear a heavy responsibility."

responsibility.”

"Yes, I will rush to the scene immediately and personally direct and supervise."

After Zhang Chunhai left, Kuang Zaohui found every opportunity to tell the story about Li Yuanlang being blocked on the road.

Chen Yushu was furious when he heard this, "What does Lou Tianyuan do? If he didn't send the traffic police to the road earlier to ease the traffic, he would be asking for trouble."

Lou Tianyuan is the deputy mayor of Deping City and the municipal public security director.

Kuang Zaohui said: "Deputy Mayor Lou asked the traffic police to direct traffic as soon as the power went out. It is estimated that they are short of manpower and some road sections may be vacuumed, so..."

Xin Zhao took over the conversation and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Mayor Li and the others are still stuck on the road. We need to take measures."

Chen Yushu nodded in agreement and looked up at Xiao Heng, who was sitting at the end. "Secretary-General Xiao, on behalf of the municipal committee, use a guided vehicle to meet Mayor Li and his party."

Xiao Heng is the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee Office and a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, so it is very appropriate for him to come forward.

He stood up and left quickly.

Chen Yushu continued: "We will continue to study."

Xin Zhao reminded: "Mayor Li is coming soon, should you greet him first..."

Chen Yushu thought for a while, "That's fine. Adjourn the meeting temporarily and continue until Mayor Li takes office."

At this time, Li Yuanlang had returned to the car and explained what he saw to Xue Kaiqi in detail.

"Mayor Li, have you seen that an unexpected incident has become chaotic and clueless because of the lack of you as mayor. Therefore, as the old saying goes, a family cannot be without a master, and a country cannot be without a king.

It still makes sense.”

Li Yuanlang said nothing. He encountered trouble on his first day in office, which was extremely rare in his resume.

However, he did not agree with Xue Kaiqi's remarks.

He thinks this is an excuse. Whether it is the municipal committee or the city government, there are relevant leaders. Even if he, the mayor, is not here, there are several deputy mayors. As long as they perform their duties and do not shirk the blame, today's situation will not happen.

Late chaos.

Li Yuanlang looked out the car window and thought seriously...

After about half an hour, the car in front finally started to move. Although it was very slow, it was still better than being stuck here.

The driver quickly started the car and was about to follow the car when he suddenly saw several people, including uniformed traffic policemen hurriedly approaching.

One of them knocked on the window and the driver got down.

It was the face of a middle-aged man in his forties. He looked at the rear window and asked with a smile: "Are they Minister Xue and Mayor Li?"

& R/his side is just a distance of Li Yuen Long, so Li Yuanglang took the initiative to say hello, "I am Li Yuen Long, this is Minister Xue."

"Minister Xue, Mayor Li, hello. I am Xiao Heng. I have been ordered by Secretary Chen to welcome you to the Municipal Party Committee."

Xue Kaifeng introduced Li Yuanlang without moving, "Xiao Heng, Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee Office."

Li Yuanlang couldn't get out of the car, so he could only say hello.

At this time, the car behind saw that the red flag car was not moving and couldn't help but press the horn several times to remind it.

The uniformed traffic policeman behind Xiao Heng quickly strode over and gestured to stop the other party from honking his horn.

Li Yuanlang said: "Secretary-general Xiao, I appreciate Secretary Chen's kindness. The car can be moved. We'd better follow the convoy slowly."

"The convoy is too slow, and the current situation cannot drive very far. I would like to invite you two to sit in the police car. Secretary Chen and the leaders of the municipal party committee are waiting for Minister Xue and Mayor Li. They will also have a meeting to study and solve the problems caused by the power outage.

The problem, let me see if..."

Li Yuanlang really didn't want to be special, but the matter was urgent. After discussing it with Xue Kaifa, they got out of the car and went straight to the police car parked on the side of the road with its lights flashing.

The three people got in, and the driver immediately started the police car, flashing the lights and siren, taking advantage of every opportunity, and chose the nearest road to go straight to the municipal party committee building.

Li Yuanlang couldn't help but think to himself that this was his first time riding in a police car when taking office.

In less than twenty minutes, the police car drove steadily into the municipal party committee compound and stopped in front of the building.

After Li Yuanlang and Xue Kaifang got out of the car, Chen Yushu led everyone to come forward. Under Xue Kaifang's introduction, the hands of the two big guys from Deping City were tightly held together.

Judging from his appearance, Chen Yushu is younger than his actual age, at least within the range of five years old.

She is of medium height and good-looking. She should have been classified as a beauty when she was young.

"Mayor Yuen Long, I have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time."

"Secretary Chen is very polite. I hope that Secretary Chen will guide my work in the future."

Chen Yushu smiled slightly and said, "Guidance is out of the question. Let's discuss it with each other."

Afterwards, Li Yuanlang shook hands and greeted Zhao Xin, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Kuang Zaohui, Executive Vice Mayor and others one by one.

When he and Chen Yushu and others were walking towards the municipal party committee building, Li Yuanlang couldn't help but frown when he heard a buzzing sound coming from near the building and the brightly lit building.

Everyone walked to the conference room on the third floor.

Xue Kaichuan read out the provincial party committee's appointment decision on Li Yuanlang. As usual, Li Yuanlang gave a brief acceptance speech.

He cleared his throat and said slowly: "Just now when I came in, I was wondering, what was the buzzing sound around the municipal party committee building? I noticed it, it was the sound of the generator."

"The entire Deping City is in darkness now. It was due to the collapse of our wiring tower, causing a power supply line failure. This was an unexpected accident."

"However, the whole city is in darkness, but our municipal party committee building is brightly lit, which looks out of place. Minister Xue, Secretary Chen, I have a suggestion. Can we stop our generator and send it to the place where it is most needed."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Fu Junhao, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, said: "Mayor Li, the municipal party committee is the place for research and decision-making. Especially at this most important moment, we must formulate all aspects of the impact and solutions caused by the power outage."

"If there is no power generation here, everyone will hold meetings in the dark, and the efficiency will inevitably decline seriously, and the gain will not be worth the loss."

Zhao Xin agreed with Fu Junhao's statement, "What Comrade Junhao said makes sense. Furthermore, so many places in the city need generators. It would be difficult to remove more than a dozen of them here and not give them to whoever."

"

Li Yuanlang was confident and said: "It's dinner time now. For households using electricity, the most important thing is to eat."

"My idea is to leave only one or two generators for lighting. The rest will be sent to major supermarkets in the city for support, so that residents can buy food, cook, and solve their stomach problems first. As for

We are conducting detailed and serious research on other matters."

Vice Mayor Kuang Zaohui nodded and said: "Mayor Li's proposal is very good, I agree."

Under his leadership, three members of the Standing Committee expressed their support.
