The call was from Zheng Chang, and as soon as Li Xiaoning picked up the phone, Zheng Chang's strong voice came through the radio waves without weakening at all: "Li Xiaoning, you kid is not authentic. actually played with Lao Zheng! ”

Li Xiaoning was a little stunned by Zheng Chang's brainless words, and he said suspiciously: "Secretary Zheng, I don't understand what you mean. ”

"You kid don't pretend to be stupid for me, what's going on with Liu Tong's video?" Zheng Chang continued to raise his voice.

Li Xiaoning came to his senses at this time, it must be that his classmates had posted the video of Liu Tong he had taken on the Internet, it seemed that the effect was very obvious, even Zheng Chang was shocked, he pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Secretary Zheng, he doesn't blame me for this, I didn't send the video." ”

"You don't have to change my concept for me." Zheng Chang immediately scolded back, "You don't know what your kid thinks in his heart?" You want to bring down Liu Tong but there is no evidence, so you want to use the power of public opinion, don't you? ”

Li Xiaoning smiled awkwardly and said, "You are really sharp-eyed, I can't hide it from you at all." ”

"You don't pour me ecstasy soup, I don't eat your set." Zheng Chang said angrily, "Do you know how much of a mistake you made? ”

"Oh, I really don't know." Li Xiaoning pretended to be stupid and said, "Didn't you just record a video?" I meant to protect myself, but I made a big mistake in daring to love? ”

"You kid is still flamming with me at this time? Get out of here, and I'll teach you a lesson. Zheng Chang said angrily.

"Oh, that's not easy! I'm in Pingshan Town, and I won't be able to get over for a while. Li Xiaoning lied.

"You don't give me!" Zheng Chang's voice raised a few points again, "My people have already arrived in Pingshan Town at noon today, and they said that you came to the provincial capital." Hurry up and get out of here for me to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. ”

"Hey!" Li Xiaoning saw that he couldn't hide, so he had to honestly agree.

The transportation hall is not far from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Li Xiaoning walked over, and when he arrived at the door, he just wanted to talk to the doorman, when he saw Zheng Chang walking out in a hurry, standing next to a Mitsubishi Pajero and waving to Li Xiaoning.

Li Xiaoning hurriedly ran over, and the doorman had already seen Zheng Chang, so he didn't stop him.

"Secretary Zheng, are you going out?" Li Xiaoning stepped forward and said.

"It's already off work. Always eat! I guess you didn't eat either, go, get in the car, I'll invite you. After meeting, Zheng Chang's attitude softened.

Li Xiaoning immediately readily agreed: "It is a great honor to be able to eat with the leader!" ”

"You kid will be flamboyant and use me as a little girl?" Zheng Chang scolded with a smile.

The two got into the car, and the car drove directly to the urban-rural junction and stopped in front of a small shop.

Li Xiaoning got out of the car, looked at the storefront, and said with a smile: "Leader, you invite me here?" Isn't it shabby? ”

Zheng Chang said with a smile: "My monthly salary is only nine thousand seven, which is only enough to entertain guests in this kind of place." Also, don't look at the outside of this store, the dishes are very delicious, especially his small fried chicken, which is a must! ”

As they spoke, the two of them entered the store, and there were no private rooms in this small shop, and there were long tables in the hall, one table could seat four to six people, two of which were put together, and seven or eight young people sat around and drank hotly.

Zheng Chang seemed to be a frequent customer here, so he skillfully ordered a few home-cooked dishes, asked for a small fried chicken, and asked the proprietress to bring a bundle of beer first.

Li Xiaoning said: "Leader, don't drink the wine, right?" You're driving! ”

"Who said I was going to drink?" Zheng Chang glared and said, "I asked for it for you." ”

Li Xiaoning was speechless: "I'm drinking alone, I don't need to ask for so much, right?" ”

Zheng Chang smiled and said, "You don't have to pretend to me, I've heard of your name as a wine fairy a long time ago!" ”

Li Xiaoning was helpless, so he had to nod and admit that he was unlucky, who called other officials bigger than himself?

It didn't take long for the wine and food to be served, Zheng Chang made three glasses with Li Xiaoning instead of tea, and then said, "Xiaoning." I really admire you very much, and I want you to come to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. But this time Liu Tong's matter, you didn't think about it! ”

Li Xiaoning knew that Zheng Chang was the kind of leader who liked to go straight, so he didn't hide his true thoughts, and said honestly: "Leader." People like Liu Tong have completely stood on the opposite side of the people, and I don't think it's a good thing if he is allowed to continue to stay in the cadre ranks. ”

Zheng Chang said in a deep voice: "I watched the video. This Liu Tong is indeed a scum, but you should report it through guò formal channels! ”

Li Xiaoning said: "Leader, it's not that I don't want to reflect through formal channels, but that formal channels don't work at all. Liu Tong is the secretary of the county political and legal committee, I am just a small acting mayor, and I have no other evidence, just based on this one video, the organization will not deal with him at all, at most I will give a warning. ”

Zheng Chang has been an official for so many years, and naturally knows that what Li Xiaoning said is the truth, he sighed and said: "That's the case, but if you post the video on the Internet, it will only stir up the dissatisfaction of the masses with the government and party members and cadres, and will only make the situation worse and worse, after all, stability is the overall situation now!" ”

Li Xiaoning said: "Leader, I don't dare to agree with this. The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, there is something that should not be hidden, if there is really no problem, why should the people know? ”

"You only know one thing and you don't know the other!" Zheng Chang shook his head and said, "Do you think that if you post the video on the Internet, the people will know the truth?" No, you're just giving the internet mob fodder for hype, and the masses are being fooled alike. Because the information that the masses are exposed to is incomplete, and the Internet mob fanned the flames, they often make judgments based on just words without doing any investigation, and carry out merciless attacks on the parties in the name of morality. ”

Li Xiaoning smiled awkwardly and said, "Leader, it's not so strict, right?" ”

"Why isn't it strict?" Zheng Chang said sternly, "The most important thing on the Internet now is these online mobs who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. They possess 'vast' knowledge but lack wisdom, have 'extremely high' dual moral standards but lack tolerance, possess the ability and desire to 'perceive' a 'hidden truth' in others, but fail to recognize themselves;

He has a 'master' level of writing, the ability to write ten thousand words a day, but constantly creates violent cases full of hooligan language, and has a great 'sense of unity', but the purpose is to win over friends, confuse the public, and kill strangers;

Holding the stick of discipline high all the time, convicting others does not require any objective evidence or standards; Transforming themselves into heroes and warriors, they keep telling how their imaginary heroic selves have interpreted many righteous stories and sentimental stories, but they hate people who are outside their personal 'justice' scope. ”

"That's great!" Li Xiaoning clapped his hands with a clap, then spread his hands and said, "It's a pity that I didn't understand." ”

"You kid, you're flamboyant with me again." Zheng Chang nodded Li Xiaoning with his hand and scolded with a smile, and then said with a little melancholy, "Our public opinion media should promote more positive energy, instead of just staring at the dark side." ”

"That's because there are too many dark sides!" Li Xiaoning blurted out and said, "The current party members and cadres have been strictly separated from the masses, and corruption is rampant, don't you let the people talk about it?" ”

Zheng Chang sighed and said, "As the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, I actually know better than you the severity of the current corruption. However, we must have a sober understanding of the protracted, complex, and arduous nature of the anti-corruption struggle. ”

"Actually, there are a lot of ways to do it, but I just don't want to do it!" Li Xiaoning muttered.

Zheng Chang said: "I know what you are talking about! It is nothing more than that all official property must be made public; Establish a government budget management system; Set up the Independent Commission Against Corruption and more!

These are not unreasonable, and some are even very necessary. But can these alone stop corruption? Not necessarily!

In the fight against corruption, it is necessary not only to rely on the restraint of specific laws and regulations, but also to eradicate the root causes of corruption. Where is the root cause of corruption, I don't like to say a word, it is the crowd with the highest anti-corruption voice at present, they are shouting, and at the same time they are also wantonly corrupting and falling!

Look at our people!

For the sake of profit, for the sake of face, for the sake of enjoyment, it has long become a full money empire, which is no exaggeration.

The rich are immersed in the sound of dogs and horses, high-end houses have bought one after another, famous cars have been replaced one after another, and the second wife has one another, and they are still shamelessly depriving the poor of their wealth and even the most basic opportunities for the poor.

The poor are not idle, they do not hesitate to squeeze into the rich club, men can make fake prices, cheat and cheat, and women who have capital to sell are not stingy to sell, blindly compare, not pragmatic, and specialize in cheating people.

Just imagine, with such a popular foundation, how can the state's upper-level managers resist, even if the strict punishment law is introduced and implemented, there will still be a large number of people who will take risks!

Therefore, the biggest corruption in China is not in the officialdom, but in the people. It's the corruption of the whole people! ”

Li Xiaoning was silent, he really hadn't considered what Zheng Chang said, looking at the white hair on Zheng Chang's sideburns, he knew how tired this upright secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection was.

Zheng Chang also woke up, secretly blaming himself for talking too much, and he didn't drink wine, so he said so much that he shouldn't have said. Is it really too tired?

Thinking of this, Zheng Chang stood up and went to the bathroom, he needed to calm down. But when he came out, he accidentally ran into a person. That person was a young man sitting at the big table that he was putting together, and he was standing and clinking glasses with others, and all the beers that Zheng Chang touched were spilled on his body.

"Old fellow, you're blind!" The young man opened his mouth and scolded.
