Power career

Chapter 085: The Battle Begins

This time Shi Xingguang miscalculated the situation, especially the power of the network.The Xizhou public security department's crackdown on Internet rumors not only failed to put out the fire, but it became more and more prosperous.Not only are the major forums full of negative news about corruption in Wucheng shanty town reconstruction, even several portal sites have reprinted these news.Moreover, even the Xizhou police's action to crack down on Internet rumors has been rumored to be a cover-up.

When the matter developed to this point, it was not only Xizhou that was in a state of distress, but Secretary Xu Richeng was furious.Even the relevant departments of the central government began to pay attention to the situation in Xizhou, and several calls were made to Wang Haibo's mobile phone.

Against this background, Xu Richeng and Qian Yunchang rushed to Beijing to report to Xizhou.So many incidents happened in Xizhou one after another, and so many famous names were made on the Internet, which made the two officials of the frontier realize their crisis.Xu Richeng is a smart person who always knows how to weigh the pros and cons.The fire rekindled on the Internet has made Xizhou the focus of the whole country.But now these are not the focus of Xu Richeng's concern. What he cares most about is the work of Xizhou in the eyes of the high-level people, and even how Xu Richeng views him.

These days, Xu Richeng and Qian Yunchang have been running around the dining tables of various departments and restaurants, and the purpose of the trip has gradually evolved from the original report work to a review.There are two types of self-criticism. One is that one has truly done something wrong and must self-criticize and be prepared to accept punishment.The other type is that no one will say that you did something wrong, but you must first have an attitude. As long as you express your attitude early, no matter what happens in the future, you will have the upper hand.Obviously, Xu Richeng and Qian Yunchang's reviews belong to the latter.

Just when Xu Richeng and the others were running around in Beijing to "extinguish the fire", another breaking news broke out on the Internet-"Xizhou officials prostitute with underage girls".All of a sudden, Xizhou Province was pushed to the forefront of the Internet, and the word prostitution became the most popular word on the Internet.As long as you open the network, these three characters will jump out from every corner, and you can't stop them.Officials prostitution, how irritating it is, those people climb on it day and night, waiting for the latest feed to feed their hungry eyes.There are also people who launched a human flesh search, vowing to peel off the skin of these utterly conscientious people, and expose them one by one under the eyes of everyone.So Li Ming's photo was posted on the Internet, and Guo Mingquan's photo was also posted on the Internet. Later, regardless of whether there was a shadow or not, as long as they were high-ranking officials in Xizhou, they were charged with "prostitution with underage girls". .

This completely disrupted the rhythm of Xu Richeng and Qian Yunchang.Wang Haibo was startled when he saw the hype speed of the Internet.Regarding Li Ming and the others who prostituted underage girls, the insiders were nothing more than a few members of the special case team and Secretary Xu Richeng. He really couldn't figure out what channels he used to spread the news.Regardless, he can be sure that if this incident has a bad impact, he, the head of the investigation team, will definitely be the first to be held accountable.

The only good news is that as soon as the case of prostitutes became popular, people's interest immediately shifted. A few days ago, there were many rumors about the shanty town renovation incident in Wucheng City, which had the momentum of not being fired, but suddenly no one cared about it.Only then did Xu Richeng know that the network is the place where people like the new and dislike the old the most, and it is also the place where they love to make trouble. The power of the network is like a scourge. The means to block the mouths of the people, but it just ignores the old adage that "defending the mouths of the people is better than defending the Sichuan".

After discovering this secret, Xu Richeng met with Governor Qian Yunchang in Beijing, exchanged opinions, and immediately called the propaganda department and the political and legal department from Beijing, expressing that the province will no longer implement the high-pressure policy on the prostitution incident. Instead, we must focus on the construction of the party's work style and clean government and the transformation of the economic development model in the near future.Moreover, the Propaganda Department has also put forward a request to make great efforts to do a good job in media public relations and news publicity reports, and has formulated a hard target that publicity reports of Xizhou will appear on mainstream media and major portals every day.

As soon as Xu Richeng and Qian Yunchang returned from Beijing, the situation in Xizhou immediately changed.On the second day after I came back, I organized a provincial work conference on building a clean and honest government, and made solid arrangements for the implementation of the "Storm of Party Style and Clean Government" and "Year of Efficiency Construction" in Xizhou.

Xu Richeng did not criticize Wang Haibo as hard as he believed. On the contrary, he instructed Wang Haibo to change the investigation of Chen Meimei and Zhongtian Real Estate Company from secret to public.The reason why Xu Richeng was hesitant to renovate the shantytowns in Wucheng before and never took decisive measures was because he was afraid that the scope of attack would be too large. Judging from the investigation team's secret investigation in the previous stage, this Not only one or two officials were involved in this matter, and it was not just Zhongtian Real Estate Company. Xu Richeng was afraid to deal with so many people.Properly dealing with several people involved in the case is also necessary for work. To deal with so many will almost clean up the officialdom in Wucheng City. He really doesn't have the courage.Second, the matter is not something that can be passed simply by dealing with it, it will leave sequelae, and it will haunt you endlessly.Xu Richeng was afraid that the situation like the second and third cotton mills would happen again. The developers left half-finished projects and ignored them. Trouble.

Now Xu Richeng is not afraid, the government has already made a fuss about these things, if the officials don't come out to clarify the facts and give the common people an explanation, it will only make Xizhou more passive.In addition, he went to Beijing this time to explain the situation clearly to the relevant ministries and commissions, and he also received greetings from all parties. Everyone has also seen the current trend of public opinion, and he can't help himself if he doesn't deal with it. The people will not give up.Moreover, he also received the support of the deputy prime minister. The deputy prime minister expressed his satisfaction with Xizhou's swift and resolute approach in the renovation of the shantytowns in Wucheng. Although he was not very satisfied with Xizhou's guidance of public opinion, he expressed his firm support for Xizhou The Provincial Party Committee strictly punished the corrupt elements in the renovation of the shantytowns in Wucheng, no matter what level the cadres were, they had to investigate to the end.

Immediately afterwards, the Provincial Party Committee held two standing committee meetings in a row to study the case of renovating the shantytowns in Wucheng.In the two meetings, Xu Richeng became angry, especially the second time, when Shi Xingguang defended Li Ming, saying that the incident of prostitution was completely fabricated, someone fabricated it out of thin air, and intentionally framed our cadres, Xu Richeng forced Li Ming Put the water glass on the table: "Comrade Xingguang, we are all senior cadres of the party. We want to protect comrades, but we cannot protect them unprincipled. These things that happened in Xizhou not only make us sad, but also in the hearts of ordinary people. The image of the government has been in the dark. If we don’t find out the truth and give the people a satisfactory explanation, how can we live up to the power in our hands, and how can we live up to the high expectations of the people?”

Immediately afterwards, Xu Richeng called Wang Haibo's name, and Wang Haibo introduced the case to the members of the Standing Committee. Finally bowed his head and said nothing more.

In this way, a massive battle started.In less than a week, Li Ming, Guo Mingquan and others were successively placed under shuanggui, and the cover of the shantytown renovation case in Wucheng City was finally lifted.
