Chapter 124 I Suspect He Implied Something About Me
Far away from the county town, a car with a red flag logo drove into the courtyard of the guesthouse specially used by the county government to entertain official personnel. Several men in Zhongshan suits had been waiting outside the door of the guesthouse for a long time. "Minister Yan, I didn't expect you to come to our place in person. You are really hardworking."
At this time, the front door opened, and a man in black clothes and glasses got out. After getting out of the car, he went straight to the back door and opened it respectfully. At this time, another middle-aged man got out. He frowned, and his face, which was blown by the cold wind, had no expression at all.
"The food is ready. Our place is small, so please forgive us for any inadequacies." One of the men in the Zhongshan suits smiled and led the people into the room where the food was already prepared. There were two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and a soup on the table. It was neither wasteful nor tasted bad. "It just so happens that we have a chef who can cook Yuzhou cuisine. Minister Yan, please try it. If it's not authentic, I'll go and rub his pride."
These words made everyone in the room smile. The man with glasses behind the middle-aged man adjusted his glasses and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the man in front of him was a wonderful person. He easily changed the tense atmosphere.
The man called Minister Yan picked up the prepared chopsticks and put a piece of food into his mouth. After chewing it twice, he said, "Hmm, it tastes good. Your plan to dampen the opponent's enthusiasm has failed."
"Minister, you must be joking. How dare I cause trouble for him now?" The man saw that Minister Yan, who had a stern face before, now smiled, and he felt relieved.
The person in front of him is no simple matter. Although his elder brother has retired, he has now directly replaced his father's position and has become the youngest since the founding of the country. He can now be regarded as a provincial governor in ancient times.
"Qujing, I heard that there was a heavy rain here some time ago and a mudslide occurred. Is it anything serious?" Minister Yan picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly, his tone casual.
"I have already investigated this matter clearly. It was the people in charge of the mine in Hongxi Village who were too eager for quick success and failed to control the situation. They directly hollowed out the underground of Hongxi Village. If it weren't for this heavy rain, I wouldn't have known how these people were disloyal." Qu Jing, who was responsible for receiving them, said this with an unpleasant expression. In the final analysis, it was because they did not discipline their subordinates well. Although they were not criticized in this matter, they were not treated well either.
Minister Yan put down his chopsticks and asked, "How many casualties are there?"
"There are thirty-seven in total, more than twenty of them are able-bodied laborers. However, we have already recorded their family situations in the files, and we will give them some help and subsidies every year, which is considered as doing our part." When Qu Jing said this, the crying family members appeared in his mind again, and he couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
"We must pay attention to post-disaster reconstruction, and we must pay more attention to families like these." Minister Yan also slowed down his tone and said, "For those families who are really in difficulty, we should help them more."
"Minister, don't worry about this. Our logistics department will pay attention to it." Qu Jing answered immediately, and then he thought about it and said, "Although this is a bit bad, at least some good things will come out of it."
Minister Yan raised his eyebrows. "Oh? What's the story behind this?"
