Thinking of this, Wentao felt a heavy heart, but finally nodded helplessly, indicating that he agreed with Sun Yiguo's proposal.
"That's it, comrades, do you have any other opinions?"
"No!" everyone said in unison.
"Alright, each department will act separately, and the meeting is adjourned!"
......
After receiving the report from Bengang City, the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government immediately convened a meeting of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and reached a consensus, requiring Bengang City to make every effort to rescue and ensure the safety of the trapped people.
After the meeting, Sun Yiguo received a call from Governor Sima Bo.
"Yiguo, isn't the situation in Bengang City a little too ugly?"
Hearing Governor Sima's slightly disappointed tone, Sun Yiguo's back was immediately soaked with sweat.
Sima Bo was a distant relative of their family. Sun Yiguo came to Bengang to seek refuge with Sima Bo.
"Uncle Sima, this incident was caused by my negligence in work. I apologize to you. Our Bengang City will definitely go all out to rescue and do a good job in the aftermath." Sun Yiguo said.
Sima Bo on the other end of the phone listened to Sun Yiguo's words and was silent for a moment before speaking: "Yiguo, your work in Bengang City is commendable. However, carrying out projects will inevitably involve risks. Just don't let "certain people" catch you in the act. You must do a good job of handling the aftermath, and I will cooperate with you!"
After that, he hung up the phone.
Sun Yiguo also breathed a sigh of relief. With Sima Bo's statement, he felt a little better.
Sima Bo meant that although the matter was a bit serious, it was still under control. As long as the post-disaster rescue work was done well, the hat on his head would not be lost!
......
After the meeting, leaders of the Bengang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government rushed to the scene of the accident in a panic.
After arriving at the scene, a temporary command center was quickly set up and the rescue work was deployed in a tense and orderly manner.
At present, the rescue operation is in full swing.
However, in the face of such a serious accident, in addition to doing everything possible to rescue the trapped people, it is also crucial to effectively control news propaganda and the direction of public opinion.
After all, once public opinion gets out of control, it may cause great obstacles to subsequent rescue work.
Wen Tao, who was well aware of the great influence of public opinion, finally succeeded in inviting several key figures from mainstream media, including the editor-in-chief of Liaoan Daily and the director of the provincial TV station, through various channels and intercession.
He communicated with these persons in charge in advance and greeted them, urging them to maintain a fair and objective attitude and make a realistic evaluation of the accident, so as to create a good public opinion atmosphere for Bengang City's rescue work and provide strong support.
At this moment, the news spread like wildfire, and many tabloid reporters, like sharks smelling blood, rushed to the scene of the accident without stopping.
For a moment, the accident scene was crowded and extremely noisy.
"Secretary, Mayor, this is a bad situation! There are so many reporters rushing over now that we have no control over the situation on the scene. Should we take measures to control these reporters? Otherwise, if we allow them to interview and report at will, it will probably trigger a series of adverse consequences and seriously affect the smooth progress of the rescue work..."
Li Mingyu, the Public Security Bureau chief who was in charge of maintaining order at the scene, said in a panic that their comrades in the Public Security Bureau had just had a conflict with a group of reporters, and now they didn't know what to do because they hadn't received any "accurate" orders from their leaders.
"No, although journalists have the right to seek the truth, the attention aroused by this accident is already extremely high. If the latest developments of the accident cannot be conveyed to the general public in a timely manner, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Li Mingyu was interrupted by Wen Tao before he could finish his words.
Sun Yiguo, standing nearby, frowned and retorted, "With so many media outlets flocking to our site right now, it's completely difficult for us to control the situation. If some unscrupulous outlets fabricate and exaggerate the facts, triggering negative public opinion, our work will be extremely vulnerable!"
Wen Tao remained unmoved by Sun Yiguo's questioning. With a firm gaze, he responded, "What are you afraid of? There are laws and regulations that punish those who exaggerate or report things recklessly. At a critical moment like this, we can't afford to be timid or cover up. Just show them what's going on. As the saying goes, 'A man of integrity fears no shadow.' As long as we have a clear conscience, why should we fear prying eyes? On the contrary, if we continue to hide things, it will only arouse their curiosity, and the negative impact will be even more serious! So, Li Mingyu, from now on, lift the restrictions immediately, allow all reporters into the scene, and allow them to film and interview freely. At the same time, your Public Security Bureau must do its utmost to ensure the personal safety of all journalists. Make sure to arrange for dedicated personnel to accompany you throughout the process to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Do you understand?"
Wen Tao ignored Sun Yiguo's questioning and directly gave instructions to Li Mingyu.
The first level of officialdom crushes people to death!
Wentao was the top leader and he was the second in command. Although his face looked ugly, he really couldn't come up with a reason to refuse. What Wentao said did make some sense.
