The next day, Jiangnan Daily published a report written by Li Xiaoning on a not-so-prominent page.

On the same day, when Fang Jingwen gave the newspaper to Yuan Kegong, he specially reminded him that the newsletter written by Li Xiaoning was sent out, and it was on the eighth page. He thought that after reading this article, Yuan Kegong might take some necessary measures, such as immediately taking this as an opportunity to convene a provisional standing committee. However, to Fang Jingwen's surprise, Yuan Kegong just nodded and didn't say much.

Qin Fengwu was shocked when he saw the newspaper, first scolded his mother, and then hurriedly called his younger brother Qin Fengxiang.

Qin Fengxiang had already read the newspaper, and Lian Yu had already reported to him first. He was actually beating drums in his heart, and he was waiting for the summons of Long Tao, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Jiang You, Mayor of the city, all morning. But until now, I haven't seen any movement from the two bosses. He had no choice but to pretend to be calm and repeat what he said to Lian Yu to Qin Fengwu again, "Don't worry, the newspaper is just grandstanding." In two days it will be fine. ”

"Damn, dare to break my news, I found someone to order his home." Qin Fengwu said angrily, "That Li Xiaoning, I know, is from my town." I killed him in minutes. ”

"Don't come nonsense." Qin Fengxiang hurriedly stopped, "Aren't you doing this to confirm your charges to others?" ”

"What then? Just endure it? Qin Fengwu was still angry.

"Leave him alone. The media, the more you rush at it, the more it will be with you. You ignore it, and it stops. Qin Fengxiang was not only comforting Qin Fengwu, but also comforting himself.

In fact, Long Tao and Jiang You were not as calm as they appeared on the surface, they didn't look for Qin Fengxiang, but they sat together and had a small meeting.

Jiang You advocated calling Governor Chen Peng first and asking about his style. After all, Jiangnan Ribao is a provincial organ newspaper and a real mouthpiece of the party, and since this report can be issued, it must represent the attitude of an important leader.

Long Tao disagreed. He believes that this report was neither written by a newspaper reporter nor published on an important page, which means that the spearhead may not be directed at Pingchuan City, and it is very likely that it is just an accidental incident, and even if it is instructed by the leader, it is at most only a reminder. At this time, we must not mess with ourselves, and the best way is to respond to all changes with the same and pretend that nothing happens. Maybe tomorrow will be fine.

After the report was issued, there was another person who was worried all day long, and that was Zhen Shiyuan, the editor-in-chief of Jiangnan Daily. He didn't leave the office for a day, just waiting for the phone on the desk to ring, and he had already typed the manuscript in his heart for an unknown number of times, just to deal with the leader's questioning. This matter was personally explained by Bai Yuqing, the Minister of Propaganda, and he must not betray others, how can he not let Bai Yuqing take responsibility, and at the same time be able to pick himself clean, but it really cost him a lot of brain cells.

But until the sun sank, the provincial party committee and the provincial government were off work, and no one asked him about the report, which made Zhen Shiyuan very puzzled. While wondering, he couldn't help but wonder why this was the case.

Li Xiaoning's manuscript actually made a lot of taboos. Officials oppressing the people, the underworld cutting people, and the inaction of the public procuratorate and the law should not be reported. But now that these things that shouldn't be reported have been reported, why hasn't the leader come to blame? Does this mean that this report is what the leaders above meant? Is this a leader's way of paving the way for the following actions?

The more Zhen Shiyuan thought about it, the more he felt that he had guessed correctly, and his heart gradually became warmer. If you can help when the leader needs it, you will definitely be indispensable when the leader rewards the meritorious deeds, right? Thinking of this, Zhen Shiyuan secretly made up her mind.

In fact, Zhen Shiyuan has suppressed a lot of negative reports in his hands, and there are hundreds of them about Pingchuan alone, and there are all aspects.

After some careful consideration, Zhen Shiyuan decided to release another report about the underworld in tomorrow's Jiangnan Daily. Because he felt that the province might be going to carry out an anti-gang operation, he called Guò Jiangnan Daily to build momentum. If the spearhead in the province is aimed at officials, it should be a matter for the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Jiangnan Daily will not be used at all.

Zhen Shiyuan did what he thought of, and on the 27th of the lunar month, Jiangnan Ribao published a special report written by a reporter of this newspaper on the third page -- the rampant underworld in Pingchuan City is worrying.

The article points out that the triad organizations in Pingchuan have successfully controlled the city's main economic lifeline, using violent coercion to firmly control some profiteering monopoly industries, such as monopoly and waste recycling. Some grassroots regimes have become gangsters. Some key government departments, such as the public procuratorate and the law, have been severely infiltrated by the triad organizations, and some high-ranking government officials have been coerced and lured to become a strong and powerful protective umbrella for the triad.

A large number of job-seeking girls were collectively coerced and forced to sell yin, which provided a solid financial foundation for the underworld organizations, and so far, there has been no strong crackdown in Pingchuan City. The city of Pyongcheon is being eroded by the underworld.

The article also cites a number of examples. For example, when the boss of an underworld group was entertaining in a disco, someone accidentally broke into his private room. The boss's men rushed into the private room where the opponent was with a gun, and during the argument, the boss's men shot at the opponent, hitting him in the neck and chest, and seriously injuring him. After the incident, only on the condition of compensation of 250,000 yuan, the other party was coerced not to report the case to the public security organs.

The boss of an entertainment venue caused the bus fleet to stop and stop its business, so the boss instructed his subordinates to beat the driver, smash the vehicle, and finally force the bus team to turn to another place to park.

As soon as this manuscript was released, people from all walks of life couldn't sit still. Even Chen Peng couldn't sit idly by any longer, he didn't look for Bai Yuqing, but directly called Yuan Kegong's office, "Comrade Kegong, have you read the article in Jiangnan Daily today?" ”

"What article?" Yuan Kegong deliberately pretended to be confused.

Chen Peng said: "You don't know? In the third edition, it is said that the zài underworld exists in Jiangnan Province, and it is rampant. He also cited many examples, saying that there are noses and eyes. I thought they greeted you, but now it seems that they are making their own decisions, and they are too bold. Where did they put the provincial party committee in this way? In their minds, is there a provincial party committee? "He is a wicked person who sues first, and he, a head of government, brought out the provincial party committee, who is the provincial party committee? The provincial party committee is Yuan Kegong! It just depends on how you Yuan Kegong handles it!

"It's very strict." Yuan Kegong's tone sank, "How could Jiangnan Daily, as a provincial organ newspaper, make such a big mistake? I felt like I had to deal with it right away. In this case, convene a provisional standing committee to study the decision on the handling of Jiangnan Daily. ”

"It just so happens that the Standing Committee members are also here, so let's set a meeting at ten o'clock." Chen Peng put down the phone with satisfaction.

As soon as the phone was put down, the mobile phone rang again, it was Long Tao, secretary of the Pingchuan Municipal Party Committee, calling, "Boss, Jiang You and I are on the way, and we will report to you in the province immediately." We didn't do our job well. ”

"Come on, come on. I am about to convene a Standing Committee to study the decision on the handling of Jiangnan Daily. Chen Peng appeased this beloved general.

This report from Jiangnan Daily is indeed a bombshell. The Standing Committee members who hurried to the meeting were all very excited. There was a rare scene of gossip and discussion in the conference room. It wasn't until Chen Peng and Yuan Kegong walked into the conference room one after another that they gradually quieted down.

After Yuan Kegong sat down on the main seat, he announced the meeting with a black face, and then said straightforwardly: "The agenda of today's Standing Committee is very simple, just one, to discuss the appointment of Zhen Shiyuan, editor-in-chief of Jiangnan Daily. Let's all share our opinions. ”

Although Yuan Kegong didn't say much, his face clearly and unmistakably sent a signal to everyone, he was extremely dissatisfied with this black-related article.

Chen Peng said: "Jiangnan Daily, as a provincial newspaper, should shoulder the important responsibility of the party's mouthpiece and guide positive energy. However, without approval, they reported articles related to crime without authorization. The nature is extremely bad, and I propose to immediately remove Comrade Zhen Shiyuan. ”

Yuan Kegong said: "I agree with Comrade Chen Peng's proposal. What do you think? ”

The secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor both agree to remove Zhen Shiyuan, what other opinions can others? Even Bai Yuqing expressed any objections, this draft was actually caused by him, but in the end, the board hit Zhen Shiyuan, he was glad that it was too late, let alone speak for Zhen Shiyuan. Speaking of which, this Zhen Shiyuan is really wronged, but there is no way, someone has to carry the black pot when something happens. I had to "borrow your head for a while".

As a result, the issue was easily and unanimous.

But that is not the end of the meeting. Provincial newspapers are also compiled at the departmental level, and the selection of editors-in-chief also needs to be discussed by the Standing Committee. Bai Yuqing asked the current deputy editor-in-chief to come up, but Chen Peng wanted to take the opportunity to arrange a person of his own, so he asked the executive deputy director of the Department of Culture to sit in this position.

Yuan Kegong said: Both candidates are available, but what are the opinions of other comrades?

Everyone here understands that this is a time to take the opportunity to share the cake, what can other people say? It's just a show of hands. Chen Peng had more votes than Yuan Kegong on the Standing Committee, and he easily made the executive deputy director of the Department of Culture take the position.

Yuan Kegong did not have a lost expression on his face, but said lightly: "Since the matter has been decided, the Organization Department will hurry up and go through the formalities." Is there anything else you have to say? If not, the meeting will be adjourned. ”

Usually, when Yuan Kegong said this, it meant that the meeting was over. Everyone began to pack up their notebooks and prepare to leave, but suddenly someone spoke, "I have something to say." ”

Everyone looked over and found that it was Yang Zhenjun, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, who usually didn't speak much.

"Oh. What does Comrade Zhenjun have to say? The notebook in front of Yuan Kegong was not closed at all.

"I'm going to add an item." Yang Zhenjun said excitedly, "Let's discuss the underworld problem in Pingchuan City. ”
