In the "Taishan Pavilion" private room of the most high-end Dong Lao Seven Restaurant in the town, the big dining table with a turntable has been filled with a total of ten dishes of hot and cold, all of which are local flavors, such as braised bullwhip, grilled pig's face, fried small river shrimp, stir-fried broccoli, fried gourd shreds with meat, etc., half of meat and vegetables, aged on land and water, although it is not a delicacy, but it is a delicacy that is unanimously loved and respected by the people and cadres and bosses here.

"Please, please, you're welcome. Li Jinming had already dismissed the waiter and closed the door of the private room. He stubbornly picked up the teapot and went around to two young people in hiking clothes who were sitting proudly and poured tea for them. This feeling of pouring tea is naturally different from making tea for visiting colleagues and guests in the office of the compound, and he feels more respectful than when he made it for Ou Luochuan.

As soon as he entered the office area in the morning, the old village chief stopped him and dragged him to the village chief's office. "Jin Ming, I'm looking for a reporter to write that news. The two of them are staying in town now. "It's been three days since the news was published on the Wington website. Li Jinming was a little surprised: "It's been three days, why are they still in our place?" "Didn't that news finally say that we should 'continue to pay attention to this matter'? That probably means that we still have to do follow-up reports, and the reporters are doing this, I know." They must have kept it to prepare for this. It doesn't matter what they're going to do!" the village chief gently opened the drawer, took out two bulging envelopes, and carefully stuffed them into Li Jinming's hands, "Jinming, the important thing is that we have to hurry, who knows when they will leave the town?"

Li Jinming pinched the envelope and knew that it was a thick banknote. He looked embarrassed and said, "Village chief...... Sooner or later, he will have to know...... "yes, he will definitely know in the end, and he will have to lose his temper at us at the least." The village chief made an old-fashioned appearance, "He wants to be a clean and good official, but how can the affairs of the world, especially the affairs of officialdom, be so clear? There are many troublesome things, which cannot be handled by honesty and honesty alone, otherwise I would have brought down Chang Jinzhu and the successor he chose." Lao Jiu is a good person, but someone has to do bad things, or he, a good person, will be ruined by others. We're doing this to fulfill him. Jin Ming, don't worry, I came up with the idea, and when I look back, I will carry it!" "Village chief, I thought about it, in fact, we don't need to rush into this trick." Li Jinming thought about it again and again, and said his thoughts, "We can first invite them to the village committee or somewhere in the town to make a cup of tea and exchange, talk about it, and find out what they are based on to send this news." At the same time, we also confidently pointed out that the content they reported did not conform to the facts or was too one-sided, and asked them to clarify. After following this set of due process, they still don't believe what we say, and it's not too late to dig out this thing. Unexpectedly, the village chief waved his hand disdainfully: "Whew! Justifiable? Due process? Jin Ming, what kind of nerdy are you guilty of? Tell you, if you talk to them, they still think that you are going to use your power to exert pressure on them, and then write a report that hinders them from interviewing and reporting, and it will be even more impossible to clean up." "Village Chief, isn't it?" "You still lack experience. Back then, Chang Jinzhu and the gang used this trick to send the media, not afraid of your young jokes on me, I had to be forced by them to send it a few times. The village chief pushed Li Jinming's hand holding the envelope, and the envelope full of money almost touched his chest, "Dealing with reporters, if you want to be quick and convenient, this is the best way to do it." This time, we are not helping Chang Jinzhu cover up his ugliness, but helping Lao Jiu get rid of the pressure of rumors. ”

Until he sat down at the dinner table, Li Jinming still couldn't understand the logic of the old village chief, and the sentence of his pat on his chest to promise to take responsibility gave birth to a strange sensitivity in his heart. But the former teacher who was "nerd" also heard that these words of the village chief seemed to contain a lot of practical truths, which came from his experience in officialdom for many years, and may have important practical significance, after all, the current situation is urgent, and there are many things that cannot be solved by reason alone. So Li Jinming did as the village chief said, and even ordering this table of dishes in Dong Lao's Seventh Restaurant was the idea of the second-in-command of the village committee. However, at this moment, facing the two arrogant young men, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, and he could hardly raise his head. You must know that whether he is a teacher or an ordinary person, when he hears about the various bad deeds of officials who ignore laws and regulations, including giving red envelopes to reporters, his reaction is the same as that of most people, which is contempt and whipping. Unexpectedly, not long after following "Lao Jiu" as an official, he actually started this kind of despised destitution at the beginning.

"Two, you're welcome. Li Jinming's face was flushed, "These are some local specialties, please taste them." ”

Liu Hui greedily glanced at the dishes on the table, but did not touch the chopsticks. Ah Zhe sat with his chest straight, and he guessed the intention of the cadre, who had kicked himself out of his office a few days earlier. "This table has a lot of money, right?" he stretched out his hand and pointed to the plate casually, "Can the ordinary people in your village afford to eat?" The kid's question was still sharp, but Li Jinming still had to answer with a smile: "In our village, no one usually eats like this, whether it is ordinary people or cadres." We will only be generous when we entertain distinguished guests. "Ouch! When you say that, I think my sense of guilt is so strong!" Ah Zhe covered his heart and said in a mocking tone, "We are just little reporters who write news reports based on facts, and if we are not careful, we will let you be honored guests, and you will be ruined." "This ...... The cost of the meal comes from the normal reception fee and there are no additional expenses. In fact, this is the first time since the formation of our new village committee that we have found a restaurant outside the village to entertain guests. Speaking of which, Li Jinming has more confidence. "We're honored to do that, and thank you for taking the time. Ah Zhe showed false respect, "Then Mr. Li, before us, where did you take the guests there? I heard that your village committee does not have a canteen. "Mr. Azhe, to be honest with you, very few people come to our village in the name of official business. This was also the case after Secretary Chang Jiucheng took office, and more often than not, he and other cadres went outside to consult relevant experts for the whole village's plan to get rich, and asked the superior leaders to ......" "Oh, and then invite people to eat at someone's restaurant?" Ah Zhe interrupted with a smile. "No, as far as I know, he didn't invite them to dinner. Li Jinming shook his head, "Several times in order to rush back to the village as soon as possible, he didn't care about eating in the city, and returned to the village committee on an empty stomach, as long as he didn't get off work, he had to go back to the office to work." ”

Neither Ah Zhe nor Liu Hui learned to distinguish the truth of their words through their gaze, demeanor, emotions, and subconscious movements. "Alas, it's so impressive. Liu Hui said listlessly, still tasting the dishes with his eyes. "Mr. Li, let's get down to business. Ah Zhe smiled, "You said that you invited us to dinner on behalf of the village committee, right?" "It's impossible for you to host us both at such a high level for no reason, and I want you to tell me what your reason for inviting us to this meal is. Also, how did you know we were staying at Home Inn Inn?"

"Let's answer your second question first. Getting to the point, Li Jinming can only choose to say with confidence, even if it is sure to fool people, "You two famous reporters are always quite eye-catching when they come to a small place like ours, so it is not difficult to find you." Seeing that the two reporters did not ask questions, he said: "There is indeed something to invite you here today." Specifically, we believe that there are some misunderstandings that need to be clarified. "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?" "It is related to Mr. A Zhe's report posted on Yiteng Internet a few days ago......" "I know!" Before Li Jinming finished speaking, Ah Zhe slapped his thigh, startling both "Mr. Li" and Liu Hui, "Do you want to say that what I wrote is a false report?"

Ah Zhe was so powerful, but it also made Li Jinming's bookish anger aroused. "No, that's not exact. The reason why I say that there is a misunderstanding between us is that many of the things mentioned in it are too one-sided to fully reflect the cause and effect of the incident. "No, Mr. Li, what you said is one-sided, I think it's just a matter of angle. Ah Zhe's actions are actually a kind of temptation, and if Li Jinming is as angry as many old and rough officials, he will be even more proud, "Your village committee has your official perspective, and it is easy to draw the conclusion of 'one-sided reporting' from the official perspective." But do you dare to say that your perspective is comprehensive?" "Of course not. "Very good, so the interpretation of social events cannot only be from your official perspective, there must be other perspectives involved in the interpretation, otherwise the truth will be blinded. "Then as a journalist, your reporting should be more about combining various perspectives and perspectives, rather than just starting from the perspective you are exposed to. ”

Li Jinming's hard response caught Ah Zhe off guard, and he stayed for a while before saying: "We Yiteng reporters pursue the truth, and only choose the angle of revealing the truth, and are not interested in the angle of covering up the truth." With that out of the way, I think we'll talk about it today. It's a pity that there are dishes on the table, whether expensive or not, it is recommended that you pack them and take them back, or it will be extravagant and wasteful. ”

Ah Zhe made a look, Liu Hui stood up with him, and the two were about to walk towards the door of the private room, when they suddenly heard Li Jinming shouting: "Two, wait a minute." "What, don't you want to say that there are people who are ambushing you outside, and we will be killed as soon as we go out, right? Mr. Li, are you setting up a Hongmen banquet today?"
