Chapter 125: The Effect of Public Opinion (Part II)

As Dante expected, most of the villagers in Dayangtun learned the name of their village after breakfast the next morning, and the news spread all over the online world. The first to spread this momentous discovery to the village were the young people who hung out in Internet cafes, and the sense of accomplishment infused with the impulsive factor prompted them to add fuel to the weight of the news to their elders, making everyone think that the village had kept up with "Focus Interview" or "Oriental Time and Space". So, on the morning of this day, the Internet café in Dayangtun Village was full of people, most of the people in the village were reluctant to buy computers, and many people did not even have mobile phones, so everyone flocked to the Internet café to browse the report that made their obscure hometown become nationally famous overnight.

Although the owners of the Internet café are fellow villagers and have graciously refrained from taking the opportunity to raise the cost of surfing the Internet per hour, the thrifty village women still feel that it is not worth spending three yuan on just to watch a piece of news. They came up with a way for three or more acquaintances to open a computer so that they would have to pay a maximum of one dollar each. The boss agreed because of the embarrassment. Because the village women sat for an hour, the system automatically exited their pages and then got up and left without renewing a penny, and the elderly were given a special offer of free browsing for half an hour, with the result that they pinched the time like change and left in twenty-five or six minutes, these Internet cafes were empty for a morning, but they did not increase much more than usual.

Looking at the complete page of news without pictures, everyone is not interested in the doubts at the consultation meeting and the abduction and rape case of the son of the "Lao Jiu" secretary who was already known last night. What really attracted their attention was the part of the village committee that concealed the investment of foreign businessmen. They did not know anything about it before, and judging from the vague narrative of the press release, although it is not clear what kind of industry it will use, this "benefiting the villagers" investment seems to have achieved faster results than the village committee's plan to grow dried fruits and get rich. In other words, this investment could have helped them live a prosperous life earlier than planting walnut and apricot trees, but it was rejected by the village committee, and it was the secretary of the "Lao Jiu" who personally rejected it. As for the reason for the refusal, the news also quoted some unnamed insiders as explaining: the land that the businessman planned to use for the industry coincided with the land planned by the village committee to contract for the villagers to grow dried fruits.

In this way, this investment was like a source of contagion, so that confusion, dissatisfaction, and unwillingness quickly spread among the ordinary villagers in Dayangtun, and combined with several other incidents that were unfavorable to the village committee and Chang Jiucheng himself, the village was generally permeated with suspicion and resentment against the new village leadership for the first time. "What is Lao Jiu going to do? Don't bring the fat to your mouth, but take us around a big bend to gnaw walnuts!" "What's wrong with that investment? Why don't you tell us?" "Did he really discuss with the seller of dried fruits, and when the time comes, he will manipulate the purchase price and squeeze oil and water from the walnuts and apricots we plant?" Although such complaints are still accumulated in the hearts of the villagers for the time being, and only a small amount has turned into gossip among family members or neighbors, they have been sown like seeds, all over all corners of Dayangtun.

"Why is this happening?" The secretary was not there, and the village chief urgently called Li Jinming to his office. They have all learned about the news on the Internet, and now the village chief in the town is going to come up with a countermeasure.

"Jin Ming, what do we have to do this time - crisis public relations. The old village chief dragged his accustomed official tone and said, "To be honest, I didn't do much of this kind of public relations in the past, and I wiped the ass of Chang Jinzhu and his successor at that time." As soon as these words came out, Li Jinming, who was originally up and down in his heart, almost laughed, he really didn't understand, at such a critical juncture, how could the village chief say such unsuitable words.

"But it's not the same now. It turns out that Chang Jinzhu has many connections and wide connections, not to mention the town, even in the county and city, and he also has a reliable relationship. Something happened, he said hello to his backer and asked for instructions, and I went to the scene of the accident or the place where the problem was dealt with to help him clean up, and it was done smoothly. The problem is that now our ninth secretary is not Chang Jinzhu's person, and he has never given a gift to him when he becomes a secretary, and he has never been close to anyone, and he can't find a relationship in our village. Besides, Chang Jinzhu was in a hurry to start before the matter was exposed, and didn't let it be publicized. And this time this matter has become news on the Internet, and it is even more difficult for public relations. ”

"Village chief, you have said so much, do you have a trick?" "What about you, you are engaged in cultural propaganda, do you have any tricks in mind?" the village chief asked rhetorically. "I ...... I haven't ...... yet" Li Jinming couldn't guess the meaning of the village chief's question, and he hesitated. The village chief sighed: "Hey, there is one who recruits me, but it is not so open-minded, so I can only get it secretly." "Secretly...... "This news is all about the latest events, the ninth son was arrested just yesterday, and this news was written so quickly, which means that the reporter who wrote this news is not far from our village." ”

Hearing the village chief say this, Li Jinming's heart was about to jump out of his throat. The village chief didn't pay attention to his nervousness, and continued: "If we are lucky, he didn't go far, and he is still near our village, we will have a chance to find him and give him a ...... Do the work. The village chief's right index finger and thumb rubbed together, and Li Jinming understood that what he said about "doing work" was actually sending a little "little meaning" to the other party's hand. "This ...... Can the ninth secretary agree?" he was not very relieved. "He promised not to agree, but we have nothing else, otherwise we will see Lao Jiu and the reputation of the village committee ruined?"

"In this way, I quietly sent someone to find the reporter who reported on this matter, and after finding it, Jin Ming, you go to work. "What, why me?" Li Jinming was shocked. "What you recruit, of course you go to Ping. "Village...... Village Chief, I'...... What...... What is it that I recruited?" Li Jinming broke out in a cold sweat on his back. "The investment mentioned in the news is clearly poked out by Ou Luochuan. This Ou Luochuan was first invited in by you, I heard that I had a good chat with him, if you don't go, do you want Lao Jiu to go......?" I mean, village chief, it's time for me to go. As long as you can find a reporter...... "Yes, it's hard to find this reporter, looking for a needle in a haystack." Even if you can't find it, don't let Lao Jiu know about it in advance. When the trouble is solved, when is it appropriate to tell him that we will discuss it again. ”

Walking out of the village chief's office, Li Jinming breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, after reading the full text of the news on the website today, he immediately reflected in his mind that the two people who claimed to be sent by Ou Luochuan to negotiate after the consultation meeting that day, tasted the author's familiarity with important affairs in the village through the article, Wang Zhe and Lu Ji were very likely to be the ones who wrote this article. The other people in the compound probably didn't have much impression of them, and Li Jinming regretted and hesitated, not sure whether he should tell others about the conversation he had with them that afternoon.
