As soon as Xia Xiang landed at Jinyang Airport, he got on the special car that the provincial government secretary-general Ma Yu came to pick him up. As soon as he got on the bus, Ma Yu reported to him in detail about the incident in the mine accident.

The mine accident happened in the morning.

Xia Lai, the vice president of Anda Mining's production safety, received a report early in the morning that a group of fired workers went down the mine to dig coal privately. After the reorganization, Anda Mining did remove some workers from the group to clean up the workforce and improve production efficiency. He became popular at that time and immediately stood up to stop him.

As one of the few middle-level promoted after Anda Mining's reorganization, Xia Lai is very loyal to Chen. Not only did Chen promote him as soon as he took office, but also because Chen is skillful and has great skills to win people's hearts, which makes him very right. Chen admires him very much.

Xia Lai also knew that Anda Mining still had many Jiang Gang's confidants, and it was impossible to completely remove them in a short period of time. It was not uncommon for workers to go down the well to dig coal privately. It must be supported by the middle-level leaders with ulterior motives to implement them smoothly. On the way, he also thought that he must take this opportunity to thoroughly clean up the Anda Mining and completely eliminate Jiang Gang's legacy forces.

When he rushed to the idle mine, Xia Lai was shocked - it was not the number of people who went down the well, but the tragic accident!

That's right, when Xia Lai arrived, the mine accident had already happened.

The idle mine is emitting thick smoke, and the strong smell of gas is particularly pungent. Anyone who takes a look at it will know that a mine accident occurred, and it is the most serious gas explosion accident. That is to say, most people underground are in danger.

How could it be... Xia Lai almost fainted on the ground. He was most afraid that workers would go down the well privately. He was most likely to get into trouble. Unexpectedly, he would be afraid of anything. After the reorganization of Anda Mining, he had a major safety accident when he went down the well privately. As the vice president in charge of safety production, he could not refuse to blame.

Xia Lai was anxious and reached out to grab a worker who was already scared: "How many people are there underneath?"

"No, I don't know." The worker was watching the fun when he heard the explosion. He was frightened by Xia Lai's twisted expression and said stutteringly, "I just came, and I heard that about 100 people went down the well."

"What? More than 100 people?" Xia Lai's mind buzzed. The accident of more than 100 people was a major safety accident. But then he thought, it was wrong. At most twenty or thirty workers fired after Anda Mining reorganization, how could there be more than 100 people? What was going on?

Xia Lai's head was so big that before he could ask again, he felt a rocking mountain, and another violent gas explosion occurred underground!

The explosion was so powerful that the cracks were cracked under his feet, which scared Xia Lai's face and unsteady stood, and he sat on the ground.

After waking up, he knew even more that it was over, and that the people underground should have no chance of surviving. A major safety accident with more than 100 lives was definitely a fatal blow to the reorganized Anda Mining!

...

Xia Xiang frowned even more. The accident was even more serious than he thought. After the two explosions, the bodies underground were not only unrecognizable, but also might be fragmented. Not to mention identifying who was who, I was afraid that I could not even find a complete body.

Ruthless, ruthless enough.

Although he had expected the incident, Xia Xiang was still angry. He really could not stop Jiang Gang in advance, but he hoped to do his best to minimize the impact of the incident and reduce the losses. He is the governor, but he is not omnipotent, nor can he get into everything. Even when he learned in advance that Jiang Gang might create a mine accident to discredit him, he could only make arrangements in secret and not take action in advance to stop him.

Whether it is the governor or the provincial party secretary who has no record of it, it is also powerful and incompetent.

Jiang Gang is already having fun. Of more than 100 lives, I believe that dead people account for the majority, but no living people went down the well to light the gas. How could there be two explosions in succession? Someone must have lost his life by Jiang Gang.

As early as when Chen Xiangxia wanted to report that something was wrong, Xia Xiang wanted to close the net in advance, trying to alarm the snake. But then he thought deeply and knew that since Jiang Gang had carefully prepared a big show, he would definitely not give up easily. If he could shock the snake, it would be troublesome. As a coal boss who has seen many mine disasters, especially Jiang Gang is now taking a desperate bet and forcing him to use living people to create a mine disaster, which is a burden that Xia Xiang cannot bear in his life.

At that time, the deviation mentioned by Chen was referring to the fact that Lei Xiaoming was in trouble.

Oh, Chen had a new idea at that time, and wanted to use Lei Xiaoming to discuss terms with Lei Zhixue without attempting to rape Chen Yanqiang. Then he asked Lei Zhixue to hint Wang Xiangqian, and Wang Xiangqian came forward to persuade Jiang Gang to stop.

Xia Xiang didn't agree.

First, it is too complicated. From Lei Xiaoming to Lei Zhixue, and from Lei Zhixue to Wang Xiangqian, if you go around for a few turns in the middle, the strength will be greatly reduced. Moreover, what Lei Xiaoming did to Chen Yan is not on the table, so he used it to threaten a provincial party secretary without a record. If it might be difficult to backfire, Lei Zhixue was furious, and instead pushed the situation to the reverse development, which might even ruin Chen Yan and had no place to gain a foothold in the Western Province.

The provincial party secretary didn’t remember trying to deal with a businesswoman, but there were so many ways to deal with it!

But then, Chen once again suggested that Lei Xiaoming was useless and pulled Wang Xiangqian into the water. With Wang Xiangqian's admiration for Chen Yan, Lei Xiaoming wanted to rape Chen Yan, which was definitely a shame that Wang Xiangqian could not tolerate.

Xia Xiang acquiesced.

After that, the progress of things went smoothly. Although Wang Xiangqian did not answer clearly, Chen - it would be right not to answer. With Wang Xiangqian's level, it was impossible to answer something clearly - but he was obviously moved.

Basically, it can be said that except for Jiang Gang who was ruthless enough to blow the people underground to pieces, other things are progressing smoothly.

"Please give me instructions." Ma Yu, who was riding in the same car as Xia Xiang, was a little nervous. According to his level and the nature of accompanying the governor every day, he would be nervous in front of the governor, but his heart was indeed accelerating and he did not dare to look directly into Xia Xiang's eyes.

It’s not that Xia Xiang’s eyes were not angry—on the contrary, Xia Xiang’s expression on the face of anger just now became much calmer—but after hearing the rumors about Xia Xiang’s in Beijing, Ma Yu felt more and more meaningful speculation about Governor Xia’s future growth path.

Xia Xiang was silent for a moment: "After going back, hold a press conference first."

"Ah?" Ma Yu opened his mouth wide in surprise, unable to believe that there was a major safety accident. The first thing he had to do was cover the cover. The tighter the cover, the better. If he couldn't cover it, he would announce it to the public, and it would also greatly reduce the truth. Governor Xia did not cover it but instead made it public, trying to make a big deal?

Could it be that...Ma Yu shouldn't think about it anymore?

"Governor, do you have to think about it again?" Ma Yu advised carefully.

"No need, you should immediately notify the major media in the Western Province and the reporters of major media in the Central Committee of the Central Committee in the Western Province to release major news at 3 pm on time at the Provincial Government Information Office. Please be sure to be present." Xia Xiang's tone was unquestionable, and he was obviously determined.

Ma Yu didn't say much anymore and immediately called to arrange the press conference.

As soon as he arrived at the provincial party committee, Xia Xiang met Lei Zhixue without stopping and reported to Lei Zhixue about the arrangements for the press conference. Lei Zhixue was also very surprised: "Would you like to think about it and hold a press conference?"

"The more things are covered, the more it seems that the provincial party committee and government do not have the courage and determination to solve the problem of mines. It will be announced to the outside world as soon as possible, which can further show the new work style of the provincial party committee and government bravely facing the problem of mines."

Xia Xiang's words moved Lei Zhixue. In other words, Lei Zhixue was also very optimistic about how Xia Xiang dealt with difficult things in the mines, so he said, "Let's convene it in the name of the provincial government."

Xia Xiang nodded slightly and turned around and left Lei Zhixue's office. With just the last sentence of Lei Zhixue, he could guess in his heart that there was no problem in mines. Even if there was no promotion from Lei Zhixue behind, Lei Zhixue knew a little. The implication of the convening in the name of the provincial government was very obvious. If the matter could not be solved, I'm sorry, the provincial government would bear all the consequences.

To be honest, Xia Xiang had decided that the provincial government would take on all the problems that could not be difficult for the mine.

The press conference was held according to the meeting, and the conference room was full. I heard that today was the first time that the youngest governor had come to hold a press conference in person. Something amazing happened must have happened. All the reporters immediately put down their work and rushed to the scene.

Xia Xiang's appeal was indeed amazing. The reporters at the meeting were far beyond imagination. Several foreign media even heard the news and proposed to attend the press conference, but they were not on the invitation list and were rejected.

While arguing, Tang Tianyun happened to pass by. With just thinking, Tang Tianyun asked someone to put two foreign journalists in. He knew Governor Xia’s deep intention to hold a press conference. It was an unexpected gain with foreign journalists participating.

At 3 o'clock, Xia Xiang appeared on the stage, very punctual, with an error of no more than 10 seconds. As soon as Xia Xiang appeared, it attracted countless reporters to take photos.

Xia Xiang waved his hand: "Don't take photos first. Today's press conference is not a good thing to post..."

One sentence pissed everyone's appetite, and most of the reporters really put down their cameras and waited for Xia Xiang to explain further.

Xia Xiang took a deep breath: "First of all, I thank all the reporters for coming to the press conference. Secondly, I hope that the journalists and friends will abide by the ethics of news and report the news released today truthfully. Finally, I will hold a press conference to inform you of the follow-up situation of related matters at any time, and I will invite you to attend the conference again. Of course, if your reports are inaccurate, next time I find that I am not on the invitation list, please reflect on yourself first where I did not do it right."

Xia Xiang's words expressed very seriously, but his tone was not severe. His straightforwardness won the favor of many people present.
