Li Xiaoning was a little confused, he didn't expect the call to be from the secretary of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee, could it be that the revelations on his Weibo alarmed the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee?

"Is it inconvenient for Mr. Li to come to Omi?" Fang Jingwen asked on the other end of the phone.

"What?" Li Xiaoning was still a little confused.

"Secretary Yuan wants to meet you!" Fang Jingwen on the other end of the phone said calmly.

"Now?" Li Xiaoning asked subconsciously.

"The sooner the better. We can arrange for someone to pick you up from the airport. Fang Jingwen's tone was still calm, and he couldn't hear any emotion.

"Let me think about it." Li Xiaoning hung up the phone after speaking.

After hanging up the phone, Li Xiaoning couldn't calm down for a long time, he first smoked a cigarette and thought hard, thinking that it was a blessing or a curse to say that it was not good, and even if it was a disaster, he really couldn't avoid it, so he simply sorted out the information, and then said to his mother, got on the bicycle and went straight to the station.

Li Xiaoning did not take a plane because there was no suitable flight, but took the high-speed train directly to Omi. On the way, Fang Jingwen made a phone call and told him about the other party's train number.

Xinpi County is not far from Jinjiang, and the high-speed rail is two hours, and the sun has not yet set when you get off the train. Fang Jingwen personally brought a car to pick up Li Xiaoning, the two met for the first time, and after a simple polite sentence, the car went straight to the compound of the provincial party committee.

Yuan Kegong, secretary of the provincial party committee, was in a meeting, and Fang Jingwen invited Li Xiaoning to the reception room, poured tea and withdrew.

Li Xiaoning held the mentality of "what comes is safe", sat down and took out his mobile phone to surf the Internet, read Weibo, Internet public opinion is now one-sided to his side, and many people have broken out more evidence to prove that Qin Fengwu is corrupt and perverts the law, and rampant evil deeds in the township, not only that, but also some of the revelations point to Lian Yu, secretary of the Xinpi County Party Committee and Qin Fengxiang, executive vice mayor of Pingchuan City, and even one or two follow-up posts are directly aimed at Long Tao, secretary of the Pingchuan Municipal Party Committee and Jiang You, mayor of Pingchuan City.

After a while, Fang Jingwen came over and said that Yuan Kegong had finished the meeting, so he took Li Xiaoning into the elevator and went up to the tenth floor, where the secretary of the provincial party committee, deputy secretary, secretary general and their secretaries worked on this floor, and led Li Xiaoning into a spacious large office out of the elevator.

Behind the desk sat a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, with a Chinese face, full of energy, and a righteous body, although his stature was not very tall, but the aura formed by being in a high position for a long time made people involuntarily dare not look at him directly.

"Secretary Yuan, someone is here." Fang Jingwen stepped forward to make a report first.

Yuan Kegong raised his head and looked at Li Xiaoning and said, "You are Li Xiaoning who posted on Weibo to reflect the problems of Xinpi County?" ”

"It's me." Li Xiaoning replied calmly.

Yuan Kegong sneered: "It's quite promising, specializing in digging up negative news, sensitive events, hum." ”

Yuan Kegong's sneer made Li Xiaoning feel apprehensive for a while, but then calmed down, he knew that if Yuan Kegong wanted to hold him accountable, there was no need to make such a big effort, the provincial party secretary wanted to make him a small town mayor, wouldn't it be like crushing an ant to death?

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoning immediately became calm, something has happened, even if it is useless to beg for mercy, it is better to fight on the basis of reason, maybe you can save something. So not only did he not appear panicked, but said with a smile: "Secretary Yuan, you are also on Weibo?" ”

Yuan Kegong was indeed testing Li Xiaoning, seeing that he could still talk and laugh freely in front of him, he couldn't help but appreciate this young man a little in his heart, so he let go of his smile and said: "Isn't it okay, I registered an account a few years ago, but I rarely speak, and I have few fans, just my secretary and Comrade Fang Jingwen." ”

Li Xiaoning didn't expect Yuan Kegong to be so approachable as a real feudal official, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of him, so he smiled and patted his ass and said: "Although Secretary Yuan's Weibo fans are few, there are many fans in reality. ”

Yuan Kegong laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to be a sycophant." ”

Although these words were not good words, Li Xiaoning could tell that Yuan Kegong was in a good mood, which showed that his impression of himself was also very good, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart.

Yuan Kegong suppressed his smile and asked, "What is the authenticity of what you said on Weibo?" ”

Li Xiaoning knew that Yuan Kegong couldn't care about the affairs of a town mayor running rampant in the township, and what he was thinking about must be more important things, although he didn't know what the specific thing was, but he definitely wanted to take the opportunity to make a fuss about Qin Fengwu's affairs, and asked himself just to confirm it, so he replied honestly: "I have personally experienced these things, and I dare to guarantee that they are all facts." ”

Yuan Kegong nodded and said: "I heard that you are also a town mayor, if you expose these shady things, you are not afraid of smearing the party and the government, and you are not afraid of being punished?" ”

Li Xiaoning paused for a moment and said: "I think the image of the party and the government cannot be established by one or two things, nor can it be discredited by one or two things. There are things that should not be afraid of exposure, because only where the sun shines, darkness and shadows do not breed. Although this manuscript smells of a hornet's nest, once it is sent out, many people will definitely be in pain. But ......"

"But some people just need to be in pain, and if they don't hurt, more people will be in pain, and even bleed." Yuan Kegong interrupted Li Xiaoning's words and said sternly, "Do you dare to ask you to publish this manuscript in the newspaper with your real name?" ”

"Dare, of course dare!" Li Xiaoning replied immediately.

"Good!" Yuan Kegong nodded, and Chong Fang Jingwen said, "Xiao Fang, you take Xiao Li to Comrade Bai Yuqing and bring my opinion to him." Xiao Li's manuscript can be sent out by Jiangnan Daily. However, we should pay attention to these three points, first, on the facts, not on the outreach, not on the platform, not on the discussion, and not innuendo; Second, there is a well-founded argument, and all things must be carefully verified, and if you are not sure, do not report it. Third, the Propaganda Department must conscientiously control the guidance of public opinion and ensure that it is free to collect and release. ”

Fang Jingwen agreed, and then took Li Xiaoning out of the secretary's office and walked towards the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee. In fact, the Propaganda Department is also in the compound of the Provincial Party Committee, only two buildings away from the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, one or two hundred meters away.

Bai Yuqing, Minister of Propaganda of the Provincial Party Committee, saw Fang Jingwen come in, and immediately stepped forward to shake hands with him warmly, and said: "The No. 2 chief came to inspect the work, and on behalf of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, I would like to express my welcome. "He is still the former minister of the previous provincial party secretary, and he is already sixty years old, so it is said that he should also be pushed to the CPPCC ** pension, but the new Yuan Kegong is not in a hurry to form his own team, so he is still in his current position. Seeing Fang Jingwen, he naturally looked more polite.

Bai Yuqing could joke with Fang Jingwen, but Fang Jingwen didn't dare to bear it calmly, and hurriedly said: "Chief, don't make fun of me, if someone hears it, my secretary will probably come to an end." ”

Bai Yuqing smiled and pulled Fang Jingwen to sit down, a secretary had already come in to make tea, and then retreated.

Bai Yuqing then asked, "Jingwen, what's the matter?"

Fang Jingwen handed over Li Xiaoning's manuscript that had been typed out in advance, and said, "The boss asked me to send you this, oh, this is the original author, Li Xiaoning." is a native of Caoqiao Town, and now he is the mayor of Jiangdong Province. ”

Bai Yuqing glanced at Li Xiaoning, did not say hello, but lowered his head and looked at the manuscript by himself, and when he raised his head again, his face was already stern, "What do you mean by boss?" ”

Listening to Bai Yuqing's name for Yuan Kegong, Li Xiaoning smiled slightly in his heart. Fang Jingwen called Yuan Kegong the boss, which is understandable. But Bai Yuqinggui is the Minister of Propaganda and a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and he actually calls Yuan Kegong the boss, which is worth pondering.

Fang Jingwen naturally heard it, but he didn't show it on his face, but relayed Yuan Kegong's original words very mechanically.

Bai Yuqing thought for a while, and tapped a finger on the armrest of the sofa in front of him, thinking.

According to Li Xiaoning's understanding, Yuan Kegong's three instructions are very clear and official, and there is nothing difficult to understand. But Bai Yuqing's appearance made his heart move again. It stands to reason that a negative report about the mayor of the town, even if it is issued, will not have much impact, let alone the provincial party secretary personally agrees to publish it. But why did the propaganda minister have a very difficult expression? Is there a bigger influence behind this?

After a long time, Bai Yuqing asked Fang Jingwen: "Jingwen, let's leave the boss's opinion alone, you can tell me your opinion, okay?" ”

Fang Jingwen smiled and said, "I have no opinion, what can I say?" ”

Bai Yuqing pursed his lips and said, "Jingwen, don't treat me as a friend, right?" Don't tell me the truth? ”

Fang Jingwen paused for a moment and said, "Chief, look at what you said. I'm just a secretary, and my job is to convey the words of the chief. The secretary is a setter, he doesn't think about what he shouldn't think, and he doesn't say what he shouldn't say. ”

"I understand your difficulties." Bai Yuqing sighed and said, "But you also have to understand my difficulties. Once such an article is published, it must be dealt with, this is a matter that affects the whole body, this is equivalent to declaring war on the gang of people in Pingchuan, who is behind them, you must also know. Confrontation requires strength, and if the strength is not enough, and you rashly choose confrontation, you may set yourself on fire......"

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Fang Jingwen's series of coughs interrupted Bai Yuqing's words, "Chief, you're thinking too much." ”

Li Xiaoning naturally understood that the reason why Fang Jingwen interrupted Bai Yuqing's words was entirely because he didn't want to let himself hear secrets that he shouldn't know, it seemed that he was unknowingly involved in the power whirlpool of Jiangnan Province, and was used as a gun. He didn't mind being used as a gunman, but he didn't want to be used as a gunman and still confused, fortunately, Bai Yuqing's words just now had already made him guess some generalities, so he took the initiative to say: "Two leaders, can I say a few words?" ”
