Seeing Sheng Ming coming in, Gu Chi asked: "Director Sheng, the old man opposite is so strange, every time he comes over, he doesn't cry or make trouble, but sits quietly on the side." He is so old, what grievances does he have? Sheng Ming followed his gaze, turned his head to look outside, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "He, hehe, it's just a very tough old man." Gu Chi wanted to know why, and asked, "What do you say?" Sheng Ming leaned on the bench, lit a cigarette, spit out a puff of white smoke, and said leisurely: "This person is from Machang Township, ten miles south of the county seat, and is an old petitioner in Jiyun County. Originally a primary school teacher, he has been teaching all his life, and he has always been a private teacher. After the nineties of the last century, the country reformed, trained normal students to teach, and a large number of private teachers were dismissed. For the sake of an 'official identity', the old man has been petitioning like this, not giving up or being discouraged, and his spirit is really commendable. The director of the Bureau of Letters and Visits has changed a few times, but he insisted on asking for an explanation, and he has been so crazy. Gu Chi sighed, and suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for the old man.

At noon, Gu Chi didn't go to the cafeteria, and he didn't feel how hungry he was all afternoon. Donnie Yen saw it in his eyes and persuaded him to look down, everything would pass. After all, Gu Chi is young, and he can't stand being said, and it is difficult to get out of the psychological shadow for a while, he only feels that the world is complicated and people are unpredictable.

In the evening, Furuchi returned to the dormitory early and lay down. A person lies in bed and thinks about it, back and forth, and can't sleep for a long time. Suddenly, the phone rang, and he picked it up and saw that the caller was Fan Xixi, so he answered listlessly. The other party is also talking about the post "The government beat the old man, and the blood is splashed at the entrance of the government", and insisted that he believed that Gu Chi was a person, and he would not beat the old man outside the government gate no matter what. Gu Chi thanked him, then sighed. The other party comforted that everything should be cautious, always beware of villains, everyone is a stranger in a foreign land, and they can't put themselves in because of work. Gu Chi "Uh-huh" is more than that, and he deeply agrees. The two then chattered some interesting anecdotes about their respective units, and then hung up the phone.

He turned on the computer, and before he logged in to Baidu Tieba, he only lost the word "thistle", and the news of "The Government Beat the Old Man, Blood Splashed at the Entrance of the Government Yamen" jumped out of the brush, and he couldn't help but curse secretly, and finally knew what it meant to be "not afraid of no good things, but afraid of no good people". Enter the thistle cloud sticker, the post has been put to the top, and there are nearly 10,000 replies below. After clicking on it, two large pictures came into view, and they were taken very clearly, he stood in the most obvious position, everything was as described in the text, and the shooting angle just interpreted the image of an unscrupulous official. Looking at himself in the photo, he felt a little strange in his heart and felt very strange.

Looking down from the comment reply, someone commented: "In the face of such a weak old man, how can these officials be able to do it, don't they have old people at home?" Those who deserve to be killed should be shot immediately! Why Jiyun has developed like this is all the 'credit' of these people. These, if you are hit by me, you will be beaten once and again. "The egg is the local dialect of Jiyun, and he has heard people say that Gai Qi is equivalent to a garbage element or an incompetent person, which is an authentic curse.

Someone below replied: "The officials still care if you are an old man or not, it's already good if you don't die, even if you kill someone, what can you do, have you heard of any dog official sentenced for this." There are also humanitarians: "The dog official can't catch it, and the spring breeze blows and grows again." These corrupt officials can't be killed, what about the punishment of Zhu Chongba in the Ming Dynasty to establish 'peeling the skin and grass', and there is still a Liu Jin? We ordinary people should be wise to protect ourselves, no matter how much we care, it is useless. After reading hundreds of replies in one go, Gu Chi's heart became more and more unsettled, only to feel a nameless anger rising up, and all his internal organs became tormented. The comments of netizens were really unbearable, so he simply turned off the computer and lay on his back on the bed.

Looking at the teacher's handwriting on the wall, the five-character mantra of "gentleness, courtesy, frugality" is like boiling soup balls in boiling water, churning in Gu Chi's heart. He had always felt that the teacher's words were right, so why not use them now. He insisted on "being gentle and frugal", but others could "be arrogant and arrogant", and in the end he ended up with a no, which became more and more unpredictable. He habitually pulled out a book from the bedside, wanting to pass the boring time, but then put it down, because his heart was really messy. I began to think about the future, and left such a bad impression on the leader at the beginning of work, will life be better in the future? Is it true that I have no career in the world, and I have worked hard to study for many years, but I can't change my personal destiny. The ancients said: "One life, two fortunes, three feng shui, four accumulations of yin and virtue, and five reading." "What's the use of reading at the end of the day, it's still fate that decides. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and he fell asleep angrily, but the face of the old man outside the gate kept appearing in front of him.

The next day, before the start of work, Gu Chi's mobile phone rang, and Pi Yu told him to go to the office on the phone, and by the way, Sheng Ming and Donnie Yen also went over, saying that they were discussing the drafting of the notice. Gu Chi didn't sleep well at night, and his whole spirit was a little sluggish, so he called the two of them to go to the comprehensive stock.

Director Quanquan sat in the innermost, smoking behind the large desk, the smoke was not for a while, and the gray temples appeared and disappeared. Pi Yan was also smoking, and when he saw someone come in, he took two puffs and pressed the rest of the cigarette butt into the ashtray in the corner of the table. Sheng Ming and Quanquan exchanged a few polite words, and then went straight to the point, and several young people listened attentively. "In recent days, the 'little Gu beating the old man' incident has caused a lot of uproar, which can be said to be known all over the city, and rumors have spread everywhere, which has seriously smeared the image of the Jiyun County Government. A thousand miles of embankment collapsed in an anthill. Going deeper, if events are allowed to unfold, the consequences will be significant. If appropriate measures are taken in advance, major events can be minimized. Now the leaders have paid attention to this matter, and yesterday Director Xi also said his opinion, let's try to draft a government notice as soon as possible, restore the truth, and set the record straight. ”

Pi Yan said: "Director, this is the Internet era, and news is flying all over the sky. Needi said that Jiyun is known all over the city, and it is estimated that no one in the outer city knows about it. When Gu Chi heard that the leader insisted that he had really beaten someone that day, he felt wronged in his heart, and said without thinking: "Director Quan, I really didn't beat anyone, obviously someone deliberately planted it." Pi Yan said: "Why are you in a hurry, aren't you thinking about restoring the truth?" ”

Gu Chi didn't want to carry this black cauldron, and was anxious to prove his innocence, for fear that he would end up in the wrong place, so he used his elbow to pestle Donnie Yen beside him. The other party was stunned, glanced back at Fang to understand his meaning, and said loudly: "I can testify to this matter, Gu Chi is completely innocent, and that person is obviously deliberately blackmailing." We were both there, and I was standing next to him. Pi Yan glanced at it and said with a smile: "Let's say whose responsibility is it here, what's the use?" You have to be convinced by outsiders. Besides, the man's face was covered with blood, and if you say that he is innocent, will others believe him? ”

Sheng Ming unhurriedly finished the cigarette in his hand and said, "Write how you want." Director Quan, what details do you need, we will fully cooperate. After speaking, he realized that he had actually said the word "full strength", and he sneered again, and changed his words, "We will definitely try to cooperate." He inserted his five fingers into his gray hair, made a combing motion, and said, "I don't think there is any need to argue about right and wrong, otherwise it will only make people feel that they want to stamp it, and others will think that there is no silver three hundred taels in this place." Let's talk about the facts and briefly describe one or two, which not only fully shows the government's attitude, but also does not vaguely shirk responsibility, so as to avoid intensifying public opinion and quell this turmoil as soon as possible. ”

Fang Geping had been lying on the table writing and drawing, raised his head at this time, and said: "Gu Chi and Zixian have come to Jiyun thousands of miles to support the construction of our county, and they can't dampen this enthusiasm, how rare is this kind of self-sacrificing spirit." After speaking, he laughed first. Sheng Ming nodded in agreement. And the people disagreed. Pi Yan typed on the computer, the two directors planned the wording, and Gu Chi restored the incident on the side. After a busy morning, after repeated revisions and repeated deliberations, a government notice was finally produced. Seeing that the task was completed, everyone went downstairs to the cafeteria for lunch. On the way, Gu Chi was still a little relieved, so he pulled his skin and said thank you softly.

The first draft of the notice was handed in, and Xi Wenlu circled the manuscript with a pen, and pointed out some inappropriate points before it was finally decided. Immediately afterwards, the clip was submitted for approval, the leadership circle read, the seal was issued, and a set of procedures was completed, and the notice finally appeared on the county government website, the content is roughly:

Recently, there have been rumors on the Internet that there was a physical conflict between petitioners and staff at the door of the government, and after careful investigation and verification, the news is indeed misinformation. After the leaders of the county government have studied and decided, the truth is hereby reported...... Illegal acts of spreading rumors and deliberately disrupting public order by other means will be severely punished, and the broad masses of the people are requested not to spread rumors, believe rumors, or spread rumors.

A photo was also posted next to the government gate, with black and white letters and a big red stamp, which was particularly eye-catching. Gu Chi didn't know much about how the matter in Qiaoxi Village was handled next, but he no longer saw the villagers who petitioned, and occasionally went to the door of the government to shout grievances. Outside the Jiyun County Government compound, the former calm has returned, the road is still full of traffic, pedestrians are still walking, and time can always dilute everything in the world. Although Gu Chi has never had similar work experience, he stays with the people from the Letters and Visits Bureau and the Public Security Bureau on duty every day, and he also learns a lot of things during small talk, and all kinds of strange things are very exciting. I have seen and heard a lot, and I am deeply touched, people say that "there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door", and now this word is estimated to be changed, and "there are many rights and wrongs in front of the government" may be more appropriate. Sheng Ming told some stories about the interview from time to time, and he secretly remembered them in his heart.
