Chapter 22: The Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department Sends Someone

  Xin Qiao District Head Office Meeting.

  Yuan Weihua first sounded out the attitude of each deputy director, "This time, the strong wind attack event had a great impact on our Xin Qiao district. Many comrades deliberately showed off and sought private gain in the disaster. Comrades, this is a very dangerous signal. Today, I asked everyone to come mainly to make a judgment on the performance of Chen Gong, the comrade from Qinghe Town, in this event. You all need to talk one by one." Yuan Weihua first expressed his attitude in his words.

  The first to jump out was Liu Yadong, "Yes, there are things that we cannot be misled by superficial phenomena, and we must see through the phenomenon to its essence. I personally think that Comrade Chen Gong is too eager for quick success this time, and his motive is also very obvious, to show off in front of the district leaders, in order to achieve his own purpose." Some things don't need to be said explicitly, everyone understands the meaning, Liu Yadong lit a cigarette and started smoking.

  Mao Renguang, the district head who accompanied Huang Zhengming to rescue Erxi Village, had a completely different view. "I disagree with Director Liu's opinion. I think Comrade Chen Gong should be commended for this matter. I was at the scene and know the specific situation. What I saw was that Comrade Chen Gong stood out in the face of danger, disregarding his own life, and rescued a child who was on the verge of drowning." He then stared at Yuan Weihua with both eyes.

  Huang Zhengming is an unchallengeable authority in Xin Qiao district, but it can't be denied that Yuan Weihua still has some power in the district government.

  Vice Mayor Zhang Qiao, in charge of agriculture, Vice Mayor Qin Fanghao, in charge of public security and urban management, and Vice Mayor Wang Jue, in charge of industry and investment promotion, all jumped out to strongly advocate for the removal of Chen Gong's position and a district-wide criticism and notification.

  Vice District Chief in charge of finance and taxation Li Mo said he was unaware and would not comment.

  Mao Renguang saw that the situation was already gone, and he didn't want to ruin a good seedling. "You several people deal with it, but I think it's necessary to say something at the district committee meeting. If Secretary Huang doesn't know about this matter, I think some people's days may not be easy."

  Yuan Weihua still didn't get to the bottom of it, in order to cater to the municipal leaders, "In that case, temporarily remove all positions from Comrade Chen Gong, and transfer them to the Discipline Inspection Commission for further investigation and evidence collection. Once there is a result, we will discuss it again."

  Mao Ren Guang slapped the table, "Investigate then investigate, why must you be removed from office? If there's a problem, it's not too late to remove you from office later!"

  Yuan Weihua didn't show weakness either, "Mao District Chief, watch your attitude. I've already communicated with Secretary Huang and he's said he won't intervene in this matter. Now the minority must obey the majority, so it's settled like this. Director Qin will take charge of handling this matter, meeting adjourned."

  After the meeting, Mao Renguang was the first to rush out of the office and back into his own office.

  "Hello, Secretary Huang is good. It's me. I just finished the district head's office meeting. Yuan District seems to be dissatisfied with Comrade Chen Gong of Qinghe Town and plans to remove him from his position. He also suggested that the Discipline Inspection Commission intervene." Mao Renguang thought that Secretary Huang should appreciate Chen Gong very much, as long as he is willing to help, Yuan Weihua and others will not make trouble.

  "Director Mao, this matter was mentioned to me by Director Yuan, let him handle it, I won't interfere. If you feel sorry for that kid, go to the city and investigate who is backing him up, don't get yourself burned. That's all. I have other things to attend to, I'll hang up first."

  Mao Renguang listened to the beeping sound on the phone, it seemed that Secretary Huang didn't want to take responsibility for this matter. This kid looked pleasing to my eyes, I'll go and try to persuade him, if things get out of hand, it's Chen Gong's bad luck.

  As the saying goes, good news doesn't spread far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. The whole Qinghe Town knew about Chen Gong's affair that needed to be handled.

  The leaders of the town had different attitudes, Qi Xiaonan secretary was naturally a matter of not being concerned, Wang Guoqiang town mayor was complacent and confident, except for Town Mayor Guo Kesheng who was helping Chen Gong think of a solution, everyone else was watching with a attitude of onlookers.

  Chen Gong was in Guo Kesheng's office, "Uncle Guo, is this thing true or false?" Chen Gong also wondered if he had offended anyone.

  "It's true, I had a phone call with Mayor Mao, this matter is not easy to handle. I heard it was someone intentionally targeting you, and it was an order from the city." Guo Kesong said with a heavy heart.

  Chen Gong couldn't figure it out and after chatting with Guo Kesheng for a while, he lowered his head and left the office.

  He bumped into someone, Chen Gong quickly lifted his head and said, "Sorry, didn't see clearly." As he lifted his head, he naturally saw clearly that it was Wang Guotong!

  "Where have your eyes gone? You're about to be fired and you're still here, not doing your job properly, wandering around everywhere. Are all the tasks done? If you don't want to work, then get out of here!" Wang Guoqiang's attitude made Chen Gong very puzzled. Originally, everything was fine, but since the organization department head Zhang came, and later Huang Shuji and Mao Quzhang came, Wang Guoqiang had been looking at him with increasing disapproval. Last time during the meeting, it was Wang Guoqiang who stared at him with a pair of cold eyes. Now that they've fallen out, there's no need to explain anything. He's just a small-minded person anyway.

  "Town Head Wang, I am still serving as the assistant to the town head and handling business affairs in the social work office. You can point fingers and make gestures, but my position is not something that you can move with just a word." Chen Gong said straightforwardly and confidently to Wang Guoqiang.

  "You're still so arrogant, just wait till you're fired, I'll teach you how to respect your superiors then." Wang Guoqiang said and turned away.

  Chen Gong watched Wang Guoqiang's back as he left and said loudly, "A deputy town head, still an acting one at that, it's questionable whether this appointment is valid or not."

  The two of them have completely fallen out this time, with no room for reversal at all.

  Chen Gong thought for a long time, didn't know who to ask for help. Song Huiyun? I'm a man, how can I ask her for help; Xiao Xingya? How would she care about your career; Wei Shuqin? She probably can't help much; Xu Cheng? That's someone from a different circle; Luo Chuan? Asking him is the most realistic option, but how to say it, saying someone wants to mess with me, help me deal with it? The relationship doesn't seem to be at that level yet.

  Just as I was in a state of anxiety, the phone rang. I took a glance and it said "Luo Chuan!!". I thought to myself, could it be that someone found out what's going on upstairs and is calling to comfort me? That would be quite friendly of them.

  "Hey, Luo Ge, how have you been lately?"

  On the other end of the phone came Luo Chuan's voice, "What's good about this? You're always attending meetings and working overtime. It's all because you're capable, that's why you've been featured in the newspaper."

  "You already know everything, Brother Luo. This newspaper has made me the target of public criticism. Now I'm waiting for the district to decide my fate." Chen Gong thought that Luo Chuan knew everything.

  "Want a promotion? Well, I'll add some more firewood for you to make the fire burn even brighter!" Luo Chuan's voice sounded very pleased.

  "Brother Luo, are you really unaware or just teasing me? I'm about to be dismissed from my position." Chen Gong had already determined that Luo Chuan was indeed unaware of the matter.

  "What's wrong? Tell me, brother Luo, I'll think of a way for you."

  Chen Gong then told Luo Chuan about the district's views on his disaster relief actions and their preparations for investigation and handling.

  "Damn it, you've done a good deed and didn't even get recognized for it, yet they still dare to bother you. I'll come and give them a hard time."

  Chen Gong grasped at a straw of salvation, "Luo Ge, hurry up with the action, the documents are coming down, if we don't change it now, it'll be too late"

  Of course, if the dismissal document is issued, wanting to correct it will undoubtedly be a slap in the face for the district itself, and it will definitely be difficult to make amends.

  On that day, the Xin Qiao District Government Office and the District Committee Propaganda Department both received a phone call from the Fu Hai Municipal Committee Propaganda Department, saying they were coming to discuss the propaganda about Qinghe's disaster relief efforts, to see what was good and what was lacking, possibly even sending a deputy minister.

  Xin Qiao District Committee and government naturally attach great importance to this, especially Yuan Weihua, who thinks that the city is dissatisfied with the speed of Chen Gong's handling, so he sends the Propaganda Department to remind them indirectly, and urges the Government Office to immediately issue a dismissal notice to Chen Gong in red envelopes.

  Huang Zhengming also secretly told Mao Renguang to accompany him in probing the attitude of the Municipal Party Committee's Propaganda Department. If they were unaware, he would lay out Chen Gong's affairs and make a dead horse into a living one. If they supported it, Chen Gong would come back to life and be even more glorious. If they reserved their opinions or directly criticized, then Chen Gong's short political career would be over.

  Luo Chuan led the propaganda department's party teaching section, propaganda section, news section, and Fu Hai Daily deputy editor-in-chief, of course, also calling Wei Shuqin, a group of people went to Xin Qiao.

  Fu Hai Daily deputy editor-in-chief and Wei Shuqin were called into Luo Chuan's car.

  Along the way, Luo Chuan told Wei Shuqin about a series of events that had occurred in Xinqiao District and also informed her that this matter might involve some leaders of the municipal government.

  Luochuan's intention was very clear, he made a big show of giving Chen Gong a place to set up his stall, of course he had to think about the consequences, although after investigating he found that it was just Qian Guangming, this deputy mayor who hadn't entered the standing committee, making trouble behind the scenes, but he still feared that things would become awkward, so he handed it over to Wei Shuqin, she knew how to handle it.

  Wei Shuqin lost her temper after listening to Luo Chuan's account, "These people are simply trash, they don't dare to go and rescue others themselves, yet they belittle other people's character. Brother Luo, when you go there, you must give them a good scolding."

  "Alright, just you watch, I'll take care of them." Luo Chuan said with a smile.

  The deputy editor-in-chief also echoed in agreement, "Now that the minister has spoken and the young lady has spoken, what am I afraid of? I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter and make a big deal out of Comrade Chen Gong's story. There aren't many young people like him nowadays."

  At the gate of Xin Qiao District Committee, Wu Xiaobing, Minister of Propaganda Department and member of the Standing Committee of the District Committee, Zhao Yanli, Director of the District Committee Office and member of the Standing Committee of the District Committee, Li Mo, Deputy Head of the District Committee and member of the Standing Committee of the District Committee, Liu Yadong, Vice Mayor of the District Committee and member of the Standing Committee of the District Committee, Zhang Maoren, Vice Mayor of the District, and some other leaders have been waiting for a long time, but still no one from the Municipal Propaganda Department has arrived.

  Luo Chuan and his group of three cars drove directly to the gate of Qinghe Town Government and stopped. Luo Chuan got out of the car and said, "Let the leaders of Xin Qiao District wait slowly, we will deal with this side first and then return to the city."

  The dismissal documents of the district arrived at Qinghe Town with Luo Chuan and others.

  Qizixiao Nan was the first to see Chen Gong's dismissal document. He asked Director Luo of the Party and Government Office to notify the leaders of several classes to announce this matter.

  Qinghe Town small conference room, Guo Kesheng didn't even have time to communicate with Chen Gong, the comrades from the Party and Government Office had already called Chen Gong to the small conference room, all the main principals of the party committee and government were present.

  Guo Kesheng looked at Chen Gong sitting down, feeling very embarrassed. Qi Xiaonan saw that Guo Kesheng had no intention of making an announcement.

  Wang Guoqiang jumped out actively, "Director Guo, you care about your subordinates so much, I'll go."

  Zi Xiao Nan nodded slightly.

  "Chen Gong, I am now representing the town government leadership team to announce a very serious decision. In view of your incorrect behavior during the last storm attack event, now..." Just as Wang Guoqiang was reading with great relish.

  "Secretary Qi, someone from the Propaganda Department of Fuhai Municipal Committee has arrived, accompanied by people from the Fuhai Daily. It's an urgent matter." A comrade from the Party and Government Office knocked twice on the door before entering.
