reborn as an official

Although PetroChina has experienced various safety production accidents over the years, it has never taken the initiative to assume any responsibility.A few years ago, an explosion occurred at the Songjiang Petrochemical Biphenyl Plant, and more than 100 tons of carcinogens flowed into the 939-kilometer water area of ​​Songjiang, tens of millions of people were in urgent need of drinking water.The accident led to the resignation of the head of the State Environmental Protection Administration at the time, and PetroChina, which was responsible for the accident, was fined 100 million yuan according to law.Afterwards, PetroChina also did not offer compensation, but gave Songjiang City 500 million yuan to control pollution in the name of "donation".Although the incident suffered heavy losses, Liu Yang knew that this opening could not be opened. Once he admitted his responsibility, he would not only have to pay huge sums of money to Helian, but he might also be held accountable by the central government.

"Governor Xu, the responsibility for the accident has not yet been investigated clearly. We also need to go back and study the aftermath. It is inconvenient for PetroChina to attend the press conference. Governor Xu forgive me!" Liu Yang completely rejected Xu Li with one sentence.

Xu Liben thought that PetroChina was the main responsible unit for the Xingang fire, and that PetroChina was the protagonist in this press conference. He built a platform for PetroChina to have a chance to directly talk to the national media. They should be very happy It's right to be happy, but Liu Yang flatly refused, and didn't even let Mang Yuan and others participate. Could it be that He Lian was asked to sing a one-man show?

"Manager Liu, although the Xingang fire happened in Helian, it was caused by Helian China Petroleum Company's crude oil transportation. It's unreasonable for you not to participate. At least we should explain the situation to the public!" Xu Li looked at Follow Liu Yangdao.

Liu Yang didn't care about Xu Li's questioning, and said lightly: "Since Governor Xu insisted, I will ask Chairman Jiao Chengxiang for instructions later. However, PetroChina has not had such a precedent! Besides, the responsibility for the accident has not been determined. We attended the press conference and said What? I believe that Governor Xu has already made up his mind, and maybe we don't need to participate at all!"

Xu Li saw that Liu Yang said he wanted to ask the leader for instructions, but he didn't rush to make a phone call. He looked at his watch, and it was already 10:30.Xingang is nearly an hour away from the venue where the press conference will be held in downtown Helian. By the time Liu Yang finishes asking for instructions, the press conference may be over.Liu Yang and PetroChina are clearly shirking their responsibilities.However, Xu Li couldn't wait any longer. The press conference had already been notified to journalists and friends from major media across the country. Although PetroChina did not participate in the conference, Helian could not keep its word. The press conference had to be on time. held.

"Hmph! Since Vice President Liu still needs to ask for instructions, I'll go back to Helian first. I hope Vice President Liu can give us a satisfactory answer!" After speaking, Xu Li stood up and walked out of the meeting room, heading to Helian City.

On the way, Propaganda Minister Wang Yongsheng called to ask Xu Li whether the press conference would be held on time and whether Xu Li would attend the meeting and give an important speech.Xu Li was also very annoyed at the absence of PetroChina at this time, and said: "It will be held on time, but just now PetroChina has made it clear that they will not participate in this press conference..."

Wang Yongsheng was taken aback for a moment. The two major protagonists of this press conference were Helian City Government and PetroChina.But now that PetroChina does not participate in the meeting, some things may not be clear. "Mayor Xu, PetroChina is not trying to evade responsibility, let us take the blame for them!"

Of course Xu Li understood what PetroChina meant. Since they were so unkind, there was no need for him to speak well of them. "I won't attend the press conference. You send a deputy minister to preside over the meeting, and the comrades in charge of the Municipal Safety Supervision Bureau and Public Security Bureau will explain the specific situation of the fire."

"Yes! If a reporter asks the reason why PetroChina did not participate..."

"Let them ask PetroChina!" Xu Li put down the phone heavily.

Because this press conference was given by Xu Li in person, it was originally scheduled for Xu Li to speak in person, so the standard of preparation was relatively high.Now it is only chaired by a deputy director of the Propaganda Department, and the rank has been lowered a few levels. Now that the meeting is only about an hour away, Wang Yongsheng is too busy to touch the ground and ordered someone to rearrange the venue.

When Xu Li returned to Helian, he didn't rush to the press conference, but returned to the office.As soon as Xu Li sat down, he received a call from Wen Tian.Facing Wen Tian, ​​Xu Li certainly didn't need to hide anything. After reporting the Xingang fire situation, he said, "China Petroleum is too dishonest. As the director of the company where the explosion happened, he didn't send anyone to attend the press conference. Isn't that true?" Put us on fire?"

Wen Tian was also not very satisfied with PetroChina's actions, saying: "Jiao Chengxiang, the chairman of PetroChina, called me just now and said that they will actively cooperate with us in this disaster relief and aftermath work."

"It doesn't count if you don't attend the press conference, but you bypass us and Lian and call you, the governor, directly? Is there something wrong with him?"

"Although Jiao Chengxiang was polite on the phone just now, he seemed to have some opinions on you and Lian. Moreover, they believed that the disaster relief work was because the comrades they sent had no regard for personal safety, so they closed the valve of the oil pipeline in time, which made the disaster relief work a breakthrough. Did you offend the comrades in PetroChina?" Wen Tian certainly knew that PetroChina's actions were inappropriate. Logically, the incident happened in Helian, so Jiao Chengxiang should talk to Helian directly. He could call himself directly and ask It's not the brother relationship between myself and Xu Li, isn't this obviously putting on little shoes for Xu Li?

"I..." Xu Li was speechless for a while.After taking a long breath and calming down his anger, he said: "I don't deny that some of the comrades sent by China Petroleum contributed their efforts. But a deputy general manager they sent has been staying in the office several kilometers away from the fire scene. Sleeping in the building. I have been on the scene and saw with my own eyes that the Provincial Safety Supervision Bureau and relevant comrades from Helian City were also rushing to repair on the scene. All the achievements of Helian have been wiped out? I don’t think they have any attitude towards solving problems at all. They just want to take credit and escape responsibility! When it arrives, I don’t believe that they can cover the sky with one hand, and the worst case is to bring the lawsuit to the State Council and the central government!”

Wen Tian knew that Xu Li's temper was on the rise, but it was true that PetroChina had gone too far in this matter.Back then in Songjiang, when Wen Tian was the governor of Songjiang, he had dealt with them because of the explosion at the PetroChina Songjiang Petrochemical Biphenyl Plant. Leaders take it seriously.But this time when they bumped into Xu Li, with Xu Li's ability and connections, they hit an iron plate! ! .
