Chapter 366: Fueling the Flames and Trying to Reverse It

Xing Jike sat at his desk, nervously waiting for the phone, according to Fang Zhicheng's guess, at the latest, before five o'clock, there would definitely be a leader of the municipal party committee to talk to him, and there was a piece of paper in front of him, which listed some questions and a brief outline of the answers, which were prepared by Fang Zhicheng. At 4:48 minutes, the landline finally rang, and the voice of Mayor Zhang Guoxin came. Zhang Guoxin is the mayor of Yinzhou, and from the perspective of being in charge of work, he is Xing Jike's direct boss.

Zhang Guoxin's tone was very heavy, and he said in a low voice: "Comrade Jike, I think you can guess the purpose of my call today. What is your explanation for the photos and comments on the Internet? ”

"When it's true, it's true." Xing Jike sighed in a helpless tone according to the requirements of the outline.

Zhang Guoxin raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Then you mean, those news are not true?" ”

Xing Jike began to solemnly excuse himself, and said: "Mayor Zhang, judging from the choice of photos, the ambition of the wolf son who manipulated public opinion behind it is obvious, and he began to prepare for this conspiracy as early as a year or two ago, which is chilling. I admit that those photos are real, but there are some gaffe expressions or indecent photos when people appear in public, and it is obviously too one-sided to accuse me of being a county magistrate just from these photos taken out of context. ”

Zhang Guoxin nodded, Xing Jike's words are still reasonable, and the smell of conspiracy can be read from the photos that have been widely circulated on the Internet, but now the situation is getting bigger and bigger, and there are already leaders of the provincial party committee who are concerned, if no action is taken, it is obviously not enough to stifle public opinion and save the image of the Yinzhou government.

Zhang Guoxin pondered for a moment, and then said: "Although the smell of conspiracy is very strong, now we must give an explanation to the public, and the city has specially convened a secretary meeting for this matter. At the meeting, both the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Propaganda Department offered to deal with you. ”

Xing Jike's heart was beating violently, and sure enough, as he expected, the exhibition of this matter was already out of control, if it was not handled well, it would even affect his future future, and he would be named the county magistrate of Siwu for the rest of his life, wouldn't that cut off his future future?

Xing Jike's heart was full of unwillingness, he glanced at the piece of paper in his hand, and read according to what was written on the paper: "Mayor Zhang, I don't think it's fair!" I hope that the municipal party committee will give me a channel to resolve this matter in a fair, just and open manner. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Guoxin looked puzzled and asked curiously: "What kind of channel do you need?" ”

Xing Jike said in a deep voice: "I hope that the municipal party committee will come forward and hold a press conference, and I will answer reporters' questions at the press conference." At the same time, use your own voice to break those false rumors, and use your own way to save the image of Dongtai and Yinzhou. ”

Zhang Guoxin didn't expect Xing Jike to have such courage, in his impression, Xing Jike is a person who is really embarrassed by the heavy responsibility, even if there is no public opinion turmoil, Zhang Guoxin also wants to choose someone to replace Xing Jike's position. But today's conversation with Xing Jike made Zhang Guoxin see another Xing Jike, which made him both surprised and touched many thoughts in his heart.

Zhang Guoxin pondered for a moment, and then said: "Your proposal is very bold and courageous, but the government has never chosen such a method when dealing with similar problems, we need to assess the risks in advance, otherwise it will only make the problem bigger and bigger." ”

Xing Jike said softly: "I hope the city can give me a chance......

Xing Jike's attitude surprised Zhang Guoxin, because this is obviously not Xing Jike's consistent style. Subsequently, he dialed the phone number of Song Wendi, secretary of the municipal party committee, although he and Song Wendi looked inseparable, but on this kind of major event related to the image of the government, the two still need to maintain unity of opinion.

Song Wendi knew that Zhang Guoxin's communication with him was related to Xing Jike in Dongtai County, and listened silently to Zhang Guoxin's explanation of Xing Jike's attitude, and said softly: "What do you think?" ”

Zhang Guoxin sighed: "There are three ways to choose now, first, treat this matter coldly; second, punish Xing Jike; Third, let Xing Jike face the pressure of public opinion. The first method is obviously not able to meet the demands of public opinion and the province, and Yinzhou needs to bear too much pressure; The second method is not very fair to Xing Jike, after all, this is a young cadre, who has worked hard without merit in Dongtai for several years, which will not only chill some officials, but also promote some bad atmosphere; The third method, to bet on Xing Jike, has a certain risk, but it is also the correct crisis public relations method. ”

Song Wendi said: "I have the same opinion as you, and asking the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee to organize a press conference is a very bold but innovative way. Now the state is advocating open government affairs and transparent information, and our Yinzhou government is doing this, although there is a risk, but I also represent a trend, when the government faces a crisis in the future, it should not just hide and try to hide information, which will only make citizens lose confidence in the government even more. The right thing to do is to be transparent so that the public knows the truth, and the rumors will be self-defeating. ”

Zhang Guoxin knew that Song Wendi was an enlightened party secretary, and he thought about everything in advance, and this time it was the same, if he was replaced by another conservative secretary of the municipal party committee, I am afraid that Xing Jike would have been pushed to the end long ago. Zhang Guoxin frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Then I will ask the Propaganda Department to do a good job in the entire press conference process, and screen out a group of media to ensure that there will be no problems with the final effect." ”

Song Wendi secretly thought that Zhang Guoxin's thinking was still meticulous, but he did not completely agree with Zhang Guoxin's point of view, and said softly: "The news conference should be fully open, don't deliberately look for some positive media, so that it is truly fair and open." ”

Zhang Guoxin frowned slightly, if it was completely public, who would bear the risk, he suddenly felt that Song Wendi's move might be a trap, waiting for him to jump into it.

Zhang Guoxin smiled faintly and said, "Secretary Wendi, since you want to make the press conference a typical successful case of government crisis public relations, why don't you take the lead in doing it by the municipal party committee?" If you come to coordinate, you will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort, otherwise you will be afraid that the government will not handle it well enough, and it will be inappropriate. ”

Song Wendi couldn't hear that Zhang Guoxin was shirking his responsibility, and smiled faintly, "Since you feel that you need the Municipal Party Committee Office to come forward, then I will let people deal with it immediately, but the government must obey the arrangement and give support." ”

Zhang Guoxin heard Song Wendi's words, Song Wendi wanted not only support, but Zhang Guoxin's attitude. Song Wendi wanted Zhang Guoxin to look forward to the municipal party committee in his future work, although Zhang Guoxin was temporarily silent for a while, he did not completely surrender to Song Wendi.

Zhang Guoxin smiled unnaturally: "The county government has always resolutely obeyed the various arrangements of the party committee. ”

Hanging up Zhang Guoxin's phone, Song Wendi sighed leisurely, stared at Fang Zhicheng, who was sitting on the sand and making tea unhurriedly, and asked softly, "Are you sure you must protect Xing Jike this time?"

Fang Zhicheng put down the teapot and said with a smile: "It's not that I protect Xing Jike, but I think I want to give him a chance, after all, he used to be on the same team with us, if he doesn't save him when he dies, it's too cruel." ”

Song Wendi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Your choice is not wise. ”

Fang Zhicheng understood what Song Wendi meant, standing in anyone's position, Fang Zhicheng has no obligation to help Xing Jike save his reputation, officialdom is cruel, there are no eternal enemies, let alone eternal friends, and the relationship between each other must be measured by interests. Xing Jike is just an ally of short-term interests for Fang Zhicheng, and when there is a conflict of interests between each other, or there is no use value for each other before, it is human nature to turn around and retreat.

But Fang Zhicheng chose to still stand with Xing Jike, which was too immature.

Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly, "Secretary Wendi, please believe me, I will definitely be able to give you a perfect answer." ”

Song Wendi knew that Fang Zhicheng had always acted amazingly, and he was used to his unusual momentum, so he said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll give Xing Jike a chance, and I will hold an emergency Standing Committee meeting later, form a team on the press conference, and instruct the relevant personnel to cooperate with you to complete it, I hope you don't disappoint me." ”

After Fang Zhicheng left Song Wendi's office, he couldn't help frowning, he didn't know if this matter was correct, because in fact, it might be easier for him to choose to stay out of the matter. But he vaguely felt that he couldn't lose Xing Jike's chess piece, otherwise the initiative he had fought for in the county government would be completely lost, and more importantly, he could faintly feel that if he made good use of the press conference, he might be able to make some turnarounds.

Public opinion is a double-edged sword, and when it hurts you, it also brings you a certain value.

In the outhouse, sitting opposite Tong Siqing, chatting with her for a while, I haven't seen each other for a long time, Tong Siqing has lost a lot of weight, and Li Mingxue is still nowhere to be seen.

"I'll treat you to dinner in the evening." Fang Zhicheng invited in a low voice.

Tong Siqing didn't agree, and urged in a low voice: "Hurry up, if you are shown by Xiao Yu, you and me...... I'm afraid I'll have to think about it again. ”

Fang Zhicheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "This little Yu ...... Okay, see you at night. ”

Waiting for Fang Zhicheng to disappear into the office, Tong Siqing pondered for a moment, picked up the phone, and called his mother-in-law, under the pretext that he had to socialize at night and couldn't go home for dinner, so his son would be left at their house.

Mrs. Mother-in-law didn't say anything at the moment, hung up the phone, and whispered to her husband Li Dehan: "I think Xiao Tong has changed a lot recently, and she is becoming more and more disregarded at home, is it that after Mingxue went to Shenzhen to go to the sea, what did she think in her heart?" ”

Li Dehan frowned and scolded: "Don't think nonsense, Siqing is a decent person, how can you do this, mother-in-law, doubt your daughter-in-law." Mingxue abandoned her family and children, and Siqing now supports the whole family by herself, it is not easy for her. ”
