Seven other observers were also invited to sit across from the judges.

Xu Haodong stretched his neck and glanced at these observers, he didn't know any of them, and he didn't look like a citizen of the city.

"Hey, where did you get the observer?"

Sha Haiyang asked curiously, "You don't know?" ”

"I don't know." Xu Haodong shrugged his shoulders.

Sha Haiyang said: "You are really the shopkeeper. These observers are composed of two parts: one is sent by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and the other is the members of the observation group sent by the organization departments of various localities. They have the same rights as the judges, except that the scores they give are not made public. ”

Xu Haodong sighed, and said in his heart that this is too complicated. But he couldn't say that it was a live broadcast from a TV station, maybe for the effect of the live broadcast.

In the live broadcast hall, there were more than 1,200 viewers, most of whom were citizens of the city, who were randomly selected from the computer.

The live broadcast officially began, in the first link, the three candidates introduced themselves, each for eight minutes, according to the draw, the order was Tang Xinghua, Guan Hongda and Ji Yanan.

Xiaodong asked Xu Haodong, "Dad, why is it eight minutes alone?" And not ten minutes? ”

Xu Haodong looked at his watch, "I think, it's to be done before seven o'clock." The three of them introduced themselves, just in time for the news broadcast. ”

Sha Haiyang said: "That's right, this is to not pinch the news broadcast, but also to give the three candidates time to adjust." ”

The self-introduction continues.

Xiaoxue was very serious, holding the handheld computer she brought, listening to it while remembering something.

Xu Haodong asked in a low voice: "Xiaoxue, what are you remembering?" ”

Xiaoxue said, "Dad, I'm finding fault with them. ”

Xu Haodong sighed, "It's ingenious." ”

Sha Haiyang exaggerated: "Haodong, I have long heard that your daughter is a talented girl, amazing." ”

Xu Haodong said to Xiaodong: "Xiaodong, you have to learn from your sister, you still have the ideal of politics." ”

Xiaodong shook his head and said, "Dad, do you want to hear the truth?" ”

Xu Haodong asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Xiaodong said: "I am also observing the three candidates, but I dare not say it, I am afraid that you will be disappointed." ”

Xu Haodong encouraged, "You say, I am most afraid of hoping too much, and the last thing I am afraid of is disappointment." ”

Xiaodong said: "Their Mandarin is not good, and if I want to score it, I will definitely fail." Which Mandarin they speak, at most it is Yunling-style Mandarin, which is ugly, unpleasant to hear. ”

Xu Haodong grinned.

Xiaodong asked, "Dad, am I not right?" ”

Xu Haodong said: "It's right, but it's not right either. The Mandarin they speak is definitely not standard, and I can't speak standard Mandarin, but in our Yunling City, this Yunling-style Mandarin is the most popular, and if you don't speak like this, the general public will be disgusted with you. ”

At this time, the three candidates introduced themselves, and the host announced, then watch the 10-minute news broadcast, and then the news broadcast for 20 minutes, please be ready to cooperate.

Ten minutes later, the hostess of CCTV announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are now at the Yunling City TV station, at the scene of the open selection of city-level cadres. In the next session, the three candidates will continue to introduce themselves, and at the same time, their relatives, one from each family, will introduce the three candidates. Before that, we add a temporary link, below, I would like to invite Comrade Xu Haodong, Secretary of the Yunling Municipal Party Committee. ”

All of a sudden, the camera focused on Xu Haodong sitting in the corner.

Xu Haodong was unprepared, and hurriedly stood up, "I, I'm not prepared." ”

Looking at their father's embarrassed appearance, Xiaoxue and Xiaodong smiled.

In the applause, Xu Haodong took Xiaoxue's handheld computer and came to the stage.

The hostess said: "Secretary Xu, I won't introduce your name." I just want you to talk about it, this time the city-level cadres were selected, and the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee handed over power to the Yunling Municipal Party Committee, but why did you hide? ”

Xu Haodong said: "The decentralization of power by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee is a sign of trust in the Yunling Municipal Party Committee and a pilot reform of the cadre selection and allocation system, and I support it very much. However, trust cannot be abused, and power cannot be capricious. Personally, I've been genuinely scared ever since I took on this assignment. ”

The hostess asked, "Why are you so scared?" ”

Xu Haodong said: "I am afraid that I will make a mistake, and the comrades who should be selected cannot be selected, but the comrades who should not be selected will be selected. ”

The hostess continued to ask: "Don't you believe in yourself? ”

Xu Haodong said: "No, I believe in myself. But there is a good saying, I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain. I have worked in Yunling City for a long time and have a very good understanding of the cadres in Yunling City, especially the cadres at the department level. Take the three candidates tonight, their strengths and weaknesses, their work ability, temperament, and so on, I can say everything about them. Because I know so much, I can't make judgments easily, because it's easy to make mistakes. ”

The hostess began to ask Xu Haodong questions, "So, you just listened to the three candidates introduce themselves, what is your judgment?" ”

Xu Haodong smiled, "This is a trick for me, I am not fooled, I don't judge, I speak, I will lead everyone astray." ”

The hostess refused to let go of Xu Haodong, "You must have a judgment in your heart, Secretary Xu, it's not right not to say anything, right?" ”

Xu Haodong said: "I don't judge in my heart. What I'm thinking about now is that the two two-year-old guys in the family will noisily tear down the TV when they see their dad on the TV, they are the most capable people in the world to toss and toss without being punished. ”

The audience burst into laughter.

But the hostess still refused to give up, "Secretary Xu, this is a news broadcast, since you have come up, you have to say a few words." ”

Xu Haodong nodded, and raised the handheld computer in his hand, "As the saying goes, bystanders are clear." I brought two thirteen-year-old viewers with me today, and they made a few comments, which I thought were quite interesting. First, the Mandarin of the three comrades Tang Xinghua, Guan Hongda, and Ji Yan'an needs to be improved, and the two young viewers said that they speak Yunling-style Mandarin, so they can only score 60 points at most. ”

There was another burst of laughter in the live broadcast hall.

"The second and third candidates are all suits and leather shoes, too serious, not down-to-earth, not close to the people enough, and suspected of putting on a show. Three, all three candidates are a little nervous, not used to facing the camera, too restrained. Fourth, smoking is not a disadvantage, it is a habit of life, it is a bad habit, and there is no need to talk about it. Fifth, self-introduction is too simple, not only to introduce the achievements, but also to introduce the mistakes made, especially praise and punishment ......"

In the applause, the hostess asked: "Secretary Xu, these two little audience members are your eldest daughter and eldest son, can I invite them to come up?" ”

Xu Haodong replied simply, "No." ”

The hostess said, "Okay. Secretary Xu, did you come up with this form of selecting cadres? Some people think it's a show and doesn't have much practical significance, and we want to know what you think. ”

Xu Haodong hesitated slightly, "Do you have to answer?" ”

The hostess took the lead in applauding.

Everyone in the audience applauded, and the enthusiasm made Xu Haodong unavoidable.
