On October 6, just after the National Day holiday, when I was drinking tea and reading newspapers at 8 o'clock in the morning, the office of the Director of the Information Department of the Propaganda Department of the Lingxi Provincial Party Committee, which had always been relatively leisurely, ushered in a few uninvited guests.

Several of the guests came from Yanjing, and it is said that the cadres of the review group under the Information Bureau of the Central Propaganda Department had arrived two days earlier, and the leader of the team was a female section chief of the review team.

Gu Jianggu, director of the Information Department, welcomed several distinguished guests from Beijing with a smile on his face, and cordially led these comrades who came down from Beijing to inspect the work to a small conference room, and as soon as they sat down, they immediately asked the staff to serve the best local Maojian tea and even some snacks.

"Section Chief Fang, please use tea. There are also a few comrades from the Central Committee, so don't be polite, drink tea and drink tea. Director Gu greeted again and again with a smile, but he was confused about the intentions of these people, it stands to reason that someone from the Central Propaganda Department came down to inspect the work, and there should have been news in the ministry for a long time, and there will definitely be no surprise attack, let alone a situation like now, which will catch him a little off guard.

It's a pity that the comrades of the Central Propaganda Department don't like this, and the section chief Fang who led the team didn't say anything polite at all, and simply nodded and said: "Director Gu, our time is relatively tight, we won't drink tea, and now there is a situation to verify with you." ”

As soon as her voice fell, a young female comrade on the side immediately took out a pen and paper and asked for a brief record on the spot.

Director Gu's smile froze for a moment,, these Beijing officials are big enough, and they really treat themselves as Qin's errands?

He scolded in his stomach in the local vernacular, but the smile on his face did not change, and he could even be said to ask a little flatteringly: "Section Chief Fang, please speak, please speak." ”

Fang Qing stretched out her hand and gently moved the frame of her glasses, she didn't wear glasses before, but because she was too young and looked too beautiful and generous, if she didn't hide it, it would affect her work very much. Right now, her subtle little action is still amazing in the eyes of Director Gu and several local comrades in Lingxi.

Subsequently, Fang Qing didn't talk nonsense, and concisely explained the intention to Director Gu: "Director Gu, that's the case, we came down from the ministry this time, mainly to ask about some of the news published in the newspaper of your Lingxi Provincial Party Committee in the recent past."

After about half an hour, Fang Qing and his party of four calmly left from the small reception room of the press office.

"Section Chief Fang, you go slowly, walk slowly"

It wasn't until Fang Qing and the others had already turned the corner and went downstairs that Director Gu changed his stiff smile back to the usual appearance of a calm middle and senior cadre, and his eyes suddenly became cold and stern.

"Gu, that comrade from Yanjing has already left."

At this time, a subordinate's voice sounded next to Leng Buding.

Of course, Director Gu knew this, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that he still maintained the posture of raising his hand to say goodbye, Rao is thick-skinned, he still couldn't help but burn it, and quickly coughed twice to cover up a small gaffe, hurriedly withdrew his hand, and snorted at the subordinate who kindly reminded him on the side with a straight face, and said, "Okay, you go back to work." ”

"But, in the ancient place, let's have these few texts" The subordinate who was bored with embarrassment raised the text in his hand a little higher, and asked.

"Let's put it aside for now, and I'll wait until I report the situation to Minister Xiao."

As soon as Director Gu put down his words, he immediately walked quickly towards the minister's office upstairs with a dark face

Naturally, no one else knew about Director Gu's report to Minister Xiao, but reliable information from the office said that after Director Gu went upstairs to report, he immediately went to the Lingxi Daily Office, and summoned several high-level officials of the newspaper to hold an on-site meeting temporarily.

And, in the afternoon of the same day, news came from Xizhou that the Xizhou Municipal Government ... Held the city's state-owned large and medium-sized enterprises of the regular National Day tea party, Xizhou Mayor Chen Yang made an important speech, in view of the municipal government's implementation of bankruptcy reorganization of a number of difficult enterprises in the city, once again made a clear statement, on the burden reduction plan of the city is very determined, no matter how the media reports, the city will not be affected, on the contrary, the city government will be according to the original plan to effectively and steadily advance, requiring the relevant units to make a good preparation.

And at the meeting, Chen Yang also put forward a few requirements for "maintaining stability" again, and translated the modified speeches on his official face that in the next work, if anyone makes another mistake, no one will want to continue to mix in Xizhou, and he Mayor Chen has a way to make those who want to make things behind their backs, or want to fish in troubled waters look good, if you don't believe it, you can try it.

I have to say that a jubilant tea party was held by Chen Yang in a gloomy way, and it is even no exaggeration to say that the directors and secretaries of dozens of large and small state-owned enterprises in the city who attended the meeting did not even have a chance to drink a sip of tea during the whole session, and they did not dare to come out of the atmosphere, and the whole meeting time was used to listen to Mayor Chen's lecture.

In addition, several local TV stations and relevant media such as the municipal party committee newspaper in Xizhou conducted on-site interviews on the tea party. What is particularly noteworthy is that several comrades of the provincial newspaper's Xizhou news station received an urgent call from above at noon, and they also hurriedly interviewed the meeting.

That night, the first news broadcast on the evening news in Lingxi was actually the news that Xizhou City organized relevant enterprises to hold a National Day tea party. In fact, I didn't see any provincial Taiwan reporters present in this interview, and it is estimated that the provincial station may have transferred the master tape directly from the city station to edit after the meeting.

Of course, what the ordinary people in front of the TV saw was a harmonious scene of singing and dancing, and no one could see the lot of work that Chen Yang had done behind the scenes for the smooth convening of this meeting, and how far-reaching his speech at this meeting was for the future development of Xizhou.

On the rostrum, the young Mayor Chen talked eloquently in his unique calm voice, and under the stage, magnesium lights flashed.

Looking at Chen Yang's calm and calm expression on TV, Comrade Tian Chunming, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and director of the propaganda department, was surprisingly turned blue, so that his family members who accompanied him to watch the news were amazed. However, this family is all supported by him, and others naturally dare not say much.

In fact, even Tian Chunming himself couldn't believe that after a short long holiday, Minister Xiao of the Provincial Propaganda Department suddenly made a 180-degree turn in the propaganda caliber of this matter.

He was a little distracted for a moment, and the phone call he received from the ministry in the morning came back to his mind.

The phone call was made to him by Vice Minister Xiao's secretary, who conveyed the leader's meaning to him, and clearly asked the propaganda departments at all levels in Xizhou to try their best to save the influence of a series of discordant public opinion caused by the Xizhou textile factory in recent times, and to increase supervision. This is also the reason why he watched the city government organize this meeting with great fanfare, but there was no way to do it. Isn't it? The boss above has spoken, where does he dare to make a stumbling block at this juncture?

As for the exact news that he had received the news that the Central Propaganda Department had sent people to the province to send a rectification document, it was already at the secretary's meeting the next day.

After the news, which lasted more than five minutes and took up half of the time of the prime-time news column, was broadcast, it took a long time for him to turn around from his trance, hesitate for a moment, but finally dialed the phone number of Secretary Han's home.

"Secretary Han, it's me, have you eaten it?"

"Hehe, Chunming, what's the matter, find me something?" Secretary Han's tone was very easy-going, just like when he usually called his home. I can't hear anything wrong. But with Tian Chunming's understanding of Lao Han for so many years, this old fox must have just finished reading the news now.

After a little silence, Tian Chunming spoke again: "Well, Secretary Han, that's the case, I watched the TV just now, Mayor Chen's speech at the tea party in the afternoon, which made me a little confused, you also know that the municipal party committee had already unified its thinking before the festival and put this bankruptcy work on hold temporarily?" But now the government is "

Speaking of this, he was very cunning and did not finish his words, but paused and laid out his difficulties: "Well, you also know, this way, my side is not very easy to carry out work, how to set the tone"

"Hehe, Chunming, let's not discuss this matter first." Han Haitian interrupted him with a smile, "The Standing Committee has made a decision to temporarily shelve this issue before, and our municipal party committee must strictly control it, but the economic work is mainly handled by the government. Now it seems that Mayor Chen's work is still quite fruitful, but we ourselves are still not determined and bold enough to reform. ”

Tian Chunming listened to Han Haitian's words dumbfounded, but soon figured it out, Han Haitian's words were nine out of nine, and then he chatted a few words about the unnutritious, and then hung up the phone gloomily.

I began to wonder if it would be a wise choice to continue to compete with this young Mayor Chen.

But at this moment, the daughter-in-law next to him hugged her grandson and called him sweetly: "Dad, I have good news for you, today our company has just signed a single contract with the big development, and the interior decoration of all the high-end floors of the newly developed Dongjiang Community in Gaozhou has been contracted to our company." ”

He was stunned for a moment, is it really good news?

After a long while, he said "um", nodded, and said nothing.

As everyone knows, at the same time, in the compound of the dormitory of the leader of the municipal party committee, in a quiet small courtyard not far from his house, there was a terrifying loud noise, and it seemed that something resembling a teacup had been thrown to the ground
