Chapter 27: Autumn Reckoning

ng nodded. "Exactly. I'll even pour you guys some wine." 。"Chen Hong listened on, feeling that Xiao Zheng was just talking tough: “Xiao Zheng, why must you do this” Xiao Zheng looked at Chen Hong and...Once a safety production accident occurs, accountability is imperative. 。This time, the investigation team from the county came in two cars. They talked to the main leaders and relevant personnel in the town, conducted on-site investigations at the mine, and interviewed village officials, miners, and villagers to understand the situation. They also invited experts to conduct a responsibility assessment, and finally concluded that:

The safety accident in Fengqixu Village this time, which resulted in one death, four disabilities, and six injuries, was mainly due to insufficient safety measures, with only a minority being accidental factors. Relevant responsible persons must be held accountable. 。First, is the secretary of the village branch and the village head 。Because the stone mines in Fengqixing Village all belong to the collective property of the village, the village head also serves as the mine manager. 。Over the years, there have been frequent accidents, both big and small. However, neither the village nor the mines have taken effective measures to rectify the situation. They have failed to eliminate safety hazards at their source, which has resulted in a continuous occurrence of tragedies. 。Next, responsibility lies with Deputy Mayor Jin Hui. 。As the head in charge, although Jin Hui frequently visited villages and mines for inspections, he lacked sufficient drive to urge rectification. His work exhibited a "superficial" approach, failing to implement thorough oversight and strict enforcement of rectification measures. 。Therefore, responsibility for inadequate supervision and management should be taken. 。After the investigation team's conversation with Jin Hui, Jin Hui immediately ran to Song Guoming, the secretary of the town party committee, hoping that Song Guoming could say a good word for him. 。After all, the reason he wasn't strict enough in some aspects on the mountain was because Song Guoming's relatives had invested in the mine. Song Guoming also called Jin Hui several times, and Jin Hui, out of face for Song Guoming, didn't, nor dared to, be too strict. 。Song Guoming, upon hearing this, immediately stood up from his chair with a very serious expression: "You're saying that one of my relatives invested in the mine Which relative invested in the mine" Jin Hui replied: "Isn't it your cousin Song Guoliang He once treated us to dinner at the 'An County Rooster Restaurant'. That day was when your cousin paid for the meal..." 。 。"You won't forget the Song Shu, will you"

Song Guoming glared at Jin Hui, defending himself: "Yes, I remember that." 。That was many years ago! My cousin's shares in the mine were sold to someone else long ago. 。And, as the deputy town mayor in charge of safety production, fulfilling your supervisory responsibilities is part of your job description. Could it be that you just ignore them because of my words You're being irresponsible! The things I say privately aren't always carefully thought out. If I'm wrong and it goes against your duties, you should remind me instead. Otherwise, what use are you as deputy town mayor!"

Song Guoming's words shocked Jin Hui. 。After the incident, Song Guoming simply pushed all the responsibility away!

Jin Hui went to check the mining shares list after coming out from Song Guoming and found that Song Guoliang's shares had indeed been transferred to a person named Lin Xiaofeng a year ago. 。Who is Lin Xiaofeng Upon further investigation, it turns out she is the cousin of Song Guoliang's wife. This connection is quite distant. 。Jin Hui regretted it deeply. Over the past two years, she had always been cautious about Song Guoming's authority and avoided directly confronting him on matters of mine management. As a result, many safety measures were not fully implemented. 。The hill where the mine collapsed was actually a hazard that Jin Hui and Xiao Zheng had discovered during their two previous inspections of the mine. They had warned the village and the mine that when blasting the mountain, they absolutely could not hide under this hill. 。Ke Mine believes that they used to carry out blasting operations hidden under this hilltop, and nothing ever went wrong. 。Moreover, being at the foot of this hill makes it the closest and most convenient location to the blast site. 。Therefore, the mine has never invested in building a relatively safe blasting hideout, and now something has happened, and it's a big deal. 。Jin Hui couldn't help but remember Xiao Zheng repeatedly advising her to urge the village and mine to rectify these hazards. 。would definitely use this as a pretext to deal with Tan Zhen. 。Therefore, Tan Zhen gave Chen Hong an idea, asking her to look for her former boyfriend Xiao Zheng. 。It is said that the relationship be...
