Chapter 54 is all scripted.
The next day, a well-written "Safety Accident Bulletin" was released on the company's intranet.
At 18:48:56 on January 22, a pipe pit collapse occurred at Suicheng Company. Upon receiving the report, Company leader Tan Huasheng rushed to the accident site at 18:49, remained calm in the face of danger, and took command.
After two hours of thrilling, scientific, and efficient emergency rescue, the two buried individuals were successfully pulled out. Whether they were alive or dead upon being pulled out was not mentioned at all; the newspaper cleverly maintained its silence, leaving readers with endless speculation.
During this disaster relief effort, numerous touching stories and exemplary individuals emerged within the company. In particular, Comrade Liu Dajun, when the water supply pipeline was in dire need of repairs, disregarded his own safety and, upholding the belief that "the mission of water supply is above all else," resolutely ventured into the dangerous area to carry out repairs, ultimately being tragically buried alive.
His heroic spirit lives on with our water supply cause and will forever be engraved in our hearts.
The accident report downplayed the seriousness of the incident, which was very clever.
The news flash also included a well-produced short video at the end.
The creator of this video is exceptionally skilled; the camerawork is incredibly impactful, and the editing is captivating. It's a shame he's not a photographer and is just a useless employee at the company.
The short film features numerous high-definition close-up shots, showcasing Tan Huasheng's fearlessness and determination as he leaps into the pit, and his selfless dedication as he digs the mud with his bare hands despite being covered in it.
It is repeatedly rendered, slowed down, and overlaid.
........
In the morning, when Lin Chen returned to his office, he heard Zhang Junmin constantly asking Song Qiuyu about various details of the accident.
Song Qiuyu, a big mouth, began to recount Tan Huasheng's heroic rescue. Just as she got into the story, Chen Ya quickly came over, pointed to the leader's office across the street, and reminded her, "Be careful the leader doesn't hear you; this is not something you're allowed to talk about."
Suddenly realizing something, Song Qiuyu quickly covered her mouth, and no matter how much Zhang Junmin asked or pressed her, she dared not utter a single word.
Zhang Junmin sat in front of his computer, extremely frustrated, reading the accident report over and over again. When he saw Lin Chen moving around in front of and behind the leaders, he felt like he could strangle himself.
He actually drank too much with Wang Yang last night, so he didn't answer Tang Xin's call, didn't go to the accident scene, and missed such a valuable opportunity to perform.
Zhang Junmin is well aware of an unspoken rule in the workplace: no matter how well you do your job, it's useless because that's what you're supposed to do.
However, if you can step forward at such a critical juncture, share the burden of your leader, or take the blame for your leader in a timely manner, then you are awesome. You will immediately be remembered by your leader and even be looked at with new respect. Promotion will naturally follow.
Zhang Junmin glanced at Lin Chen, feeling uneasy. He was afraid that Lin Chen, who arrived later than him, would take his place.
in the afternoon.
Fan Jianfeng, the head of the municipal company, arrived. This time, the company did not hold any welcoming ceremony because he arrived quietly and was only announced when he arrived at the entrance of the Suicheng company.
Song Jiehui and Tan Huasheng were in a meeting discussing compensation for the injured and the deceased when they heard the announcement. They were shocked and hadn't even had time to go out to greet them when General Manager Fan was already at the meeting room door.
Everyone stood up abruptly. Lin Chen's legs were numb, so he was a little slow to stand up. Besides General Manager Fan from the municipal company, Liu Pengcheng, Director of the Municipal Company's Safety Supervision Department, was also present.
"President Fan, why didn't you let me know you were coming?" Song Jiehui's voice was a little hoarse, he was really nervous. Although President Fan of the city company was usually quite amiable.
But everyone knows that once Fan Jianfeng gets angry, it's like a sharp sword being drawn, and the consequences are severe.
Fan Jianfeng saw everyone nod and said, "Please sit down, don't be nervous, everyone is here. I saw the accident report today, there were casualties, and I was really worried, so I came to find out what happened."
After saying that, he took the seat of honor.
Song Jiehui felt even more uneasy, and secretly glanced at Tan Huasheng, whose body visibly trembled. Tang Xin quickly prepared tea and handed it over, saying, "President Fan, please have some tea."
After Fan Jianfeng took a sip of tea, Song Jiehui immediately stood up and answered questions like a primary school student: "President Fan, this incident is a serious dereliction of duty on my part. I apologize to you. I failed to do a good job in overall security and prevention. I originally planned to handle it internally first and then report to you in person at the city company tomorrow. I didn't expect you to come so soon."
It seems that no matter what level you are, the right thing to do when you see a leader is to apologize profusely.
After Song Jiehui finished speaking, Tan Huasheng immediately stood up again: "President Fan, actually this matter has little to do with Director Song. It's mainly due to my negligence in safety supervision and failure to manage safety risks. I didn't know that the people below were so eager to do things for the public. I want to apologize and make a self-criticism to you, to Director Song, and to all the employees of the company. No matter what punishment the company gives me, or even if I am dismissed, I can accept it."
Wow, Lin Chen originally thought that Song Jiehui's words were already quite sophisticated, and his tone was incredibly sincere, but when Tan Huasheng opened his mouth, he still noticed the difference.
Tan Huasheng's acting is still amazing. He speaks such nonsense so naturally, with perfect expression and standard lines. It's practically a textbook example of acting.
Moreover, what he said was brilliant. It was a strategic retreat, a way to advance. He took the initiative to offer his dismissal. If the leader really wanted you to leave, there was nothing they could do to stop him. If they didn't intend to get rid of you, your "realization" would make the leader feel embarrassed to criticize you and would even have to praise you for your sense of responsibility.
Sure enough, Fan Jianfeng seemed to be truly impressed by the two actors' performances: "Good, I'm relieved that you two have such a mindset. Fortunately, things aren't that serious. The company will definitely be pragmatic and handle things accordingly. I've read your report. It's truly a pity about Liu Dajun. His sacrifice is the company's biggest loss. We must vigorously promote his spirit. Of course, during this sensitive period, we must pay attention to the impact of the timeline and do a good job of comforting his family."
Song Jiehui: "President Fan, don't worry, this is our responsibility. We will definitely not shirk it and will handle this issue properly."
Fan Jianfeng suddenly laughed again: "I watched the video. Our Director Tan's performance in this accident was outstanding and appropriate. He demonstrated the demeanor that a Party member should have and exemplified the pioneering and exemplary role of a company leader."
Tan Huasheng smiled shyly: "President Fan, you flatter me. At that moment, I had nothing on my mind except one belief: to protect the company's employees and the people and prevent them from being harmed."
Fan Jianfeng was satisfied with his statement, then turned to Song Jiehui: "Jiehui, I know you came to Suicheng with great ambition and ideals. Although this incident was unavoidable, we should learn from it. It shows that there are still many unsettling elements in the company, and you, as the top leader, need to be highly vigilant."
Song Jiehui: "President Fan's lesson is correct. I will definitely learn from the accident, reflect on it seriously, and make rectifications to ensure that similar accidents do not happen to the company again."
Fan Jianfeng then asked, "I heard that another new employee was injured in the accident? How is he now?"
Tan Huasheng immediately replied, "It's nothing serious, just a minor leg injury. I estimate I'll be discharged in two days."
Minor injury?
Lin Chen was truly dumbfounded; how could anyone say such a thing?
According to the information Lin Chen received, Liang Xiaoming's leg is likely crippled. Although he can walk, he will have to limp from now on.
Of course, from a certain perspective, it is indeed too lenient. A person who doesn't know how to refuse work is lucky to be alive.
Fan Jianfeng: "That's good. I'm almost done here. Director Liu, do you have anything to add?"
Liu Pengcheng took the microphone: "Actually, President Fan has already explained things very specifically and profoundly, so I won't go into too much detail here. I'll just make a few requests. First, the company must learn from this accident and launch a major safety training and rectification campaign to ensure that safety awareness is deeply ingrained in everyone's mind. Second, we must organize personnel to participate in outdoor water pipe repair operation training to effectively strengthen their capabilities and ensure the safety of operations. Third..."
Lin Chen initially thought he wouldn't ramble on, but he ended up talking non-stop for half an hour, spitting everywhere.
The problem is that it's all useless nonsense and clichés, and his manuscript is from several years ago, with some content not being updated at all.
Of course, both leaders, Director Song and Director Tan, listened very attentively, taking notes from time to time and deep in thought, their devout expressions as if they were listening to some profound truth.
A safety accident turned out to be a carefully orchestrated play. The accident report was falsified, the inspection was just a perfunctory formality, the reports and reviews were all formulaic, and the concluding remarks were nothing but empty talk.
From top to bottom, everyone is playing their role according to the "script".
