"I'm afraid so." Director Wang said worriedly: "This is someone deliberately discrediting you and using the power of the Internet to put you in a negative vortex."

"Actually, it doesn't seem smart to do this. It's very simple. This person just looks like you. Besides, you brought a driver back last night. There are records and traces. If you check it out, you can get to the bottom of it."

"However, I am afraid that someone will set the pace online. You see, your identity will be discovered. Netizens not only revealed your identity, but also mentioned that you are the son-in-law of a certain big shot..."

After Director Wang said this, he motioned to Secretary Wu to switch to a new screen, which captured all kinds of strange comments from netizens.

Li Yuanlang browsed through it roughly and found that there were few positives and mostly negatives.

Director Wang lamented: "The Chuzhong Police have issued a notice, indicating that the man involved in the incident is Chang Yousheng, not you. However, there are still people posting and commenting one after another, expressing objections to the Oolong incident. Comrade Yuen Long, people's words are terrible,

It cannot be ignored.”

At this time, Li Yuanlang's cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Mi Weibang, the Propaganda Minister of the Ruozhou Municipal Party Committee. He also noticed this unexpected oolong incident on the Internet and asked Li Yuanlang for instructions on how to deal with it.

Not only him, but Zhou Xujie, secretary of the provincial party committee, personally called to inquire about the matter.

After listening to Li Yuen Long's detailed explanation, Zhou Xujie said meaningfully: "Comrade Yuen Long, this is a malicious act of slander against you."

"This matter must be seriously investigated and taken seriously to find out the real culprit behind the scenes and restore your innocence. I will immediately contact Secretary Ben Shan and ask the Hanyue Provincial Police to conduct an in-depth investigation."

"Thank you, Secretary Zhou, for your concern."

While on the phone with Zhou Xujie, calls started coming in one after another.

The first person Li Yuanlang responded to was Lian Mingyu.

"Yuen Long, can you guess who is the mastermind behind the scenes?" Lian Mingyu went straight to the point and revealed the key point.

"Can't escape from Ruozhou City." Li Yuanlang guessed immediately that it must be related to Ruozhou.

But as for who it is, even if he has a rough outline in his mind, Li Yuanlang cannot make a rash conclusion in the absence of strong evidence.

"I guess people from Ruozhou are behind it." Lian Mingyu analyzed: "They are smart and find someone similar to you. They deliberately act arrogant and domineering in front of the camera and make bad remarks. Their purpose is to discredit you."

"This guy surnamed Chang just made rude remarks to the traffic police and did not break any relevant laws. He was just criticizing and educating."

"On the contrary, it will have a huge negative impact on you. Public opinion is terrible, especially netizens who don't know the truth. It's easy to be stubborn and biased."

"Just now, Secretary Zhou and Director Wang Junyao from the Propaganda Department, the three of us had a brief video conference and reached an agreement. Pay close attention to online developments. If necessary, the Ruozhou Municipal Party Committee Office will issue a notice to inform the whole society that it is purely false.

The dragon incident has nothing to do with you."

"However, we will not let the authorities intervene to control online public opinion. In this way, there will be no silver here, giving people the illusion of covering up the facts."

Li Yuanlang also expressed his gratitude to Lian Mingyu.

Immediately afterwards, Mayor Zou Shengxuan, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Huang Zhongli, Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Liu Yongqiang, and Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee Cheng Yong and others successively called to express their concern about the matter.

As a party involved, Li Yuanlang, with an aboveboard mentality, emphasized that white things cannot be blackened, and black things cannot be made free. He asked the municipal party committee general office to face it calmly, follow the arrangements of the provincial party committee, and not make decisions without authorization.

Bai Qing has always been with Li Yuanlang. She knows that her husband is facing a huge public opinion crisis and needs her care and comfort most.

As soon as this incident came out, the phone calls came one after another, without giving the couple a chance to talk alone.

Soon, Hanyue Provincial Party Committee Secretary Li Benshan and Governor Hu Zhengxiao came hand in hand.

With such a big movement, it was impossible to alarm Lu Linsong.

Li Benshan and Hu Zhengxiao were called into the study by Lu Linsong, and Li Yuanlang was also present.

After listening to Li Benshan's report, Hu Zhengxiao expressed his position, "The Chuzhong City Public Security Bureau has informed the outside world of the detailed process of the incident, as well as the personal information of the person involved, Chang Yousheng."

"And compared the photos of Chang Yousheng and Yuen Long, and analyzed and interpreted them."

Lu Linsong waved his hand to interrupt Hu Zhengxiao's words and asked: "What was the effect? ​​How was the response from online public opinion?"

Li Benshan and Hu Zhengxiao looked at each other, and Hu Zhengxiao said with a stern expression: "It's not very ideal. There are more and more negative comments. There are more and more people. Many people stubbornly believe that Chang Yousheng in the video is Comrade Yuen Long."

"Okay, I understand this matter. Thank you for coming to explain the situation in person." Lu Linsong sat on the recliner and said loudly: "Comrades Benshan and Zhengxiao, I am just an ordinary party member who has retired. You don't need to mobilize troops."

, just make a phone call.”

"From now on, whenever you encounter major problems, you don't have to come and report them in person. When I step down, I will step down and stop interfering in current affairs. You just need to treat me like an ordinary old man."

"The leader's criticism is correct, and we will definitely correct it." Li Benshan said goodbye at the right time, and he and Hu Zhengxiao got up and left.

"Yuen Long, send them off for me."

When Li Yuanlang sent Li Benshan and Hu Zhengxiao to the door and returned to Lu Linsong's study.

Lu Linsong put his hands behind his back, looked out the window and meditated quietly.

After a long while, he sighed, turned around and asked, "What do you think of this oolong incident?"

Li Yuanlang thought for a moment and said seriously: "This is by no means a simple incident, there is a lot behind it."

"Tell me more about it."

"Yes." Li Yuanlang helped Lu Linsong sit back on the recliner and continued to express his views.

"They are smearing me at this critical moment when you want to take me to Beijing. People's words are terrible and must be guarded against. You want to introduce me to old comrades. At this juncture, negative news related to me has appeared.

, more or less, it definitely has adverse effects."

"A person is surrounded by negative news, and it may be true if it is fake. This is not a plus point for me. It can be said that the other party's move was very accurate and ruthless, which put me in the whirlpool of public opinion and difficult to deal with."

Lu Linsong narrowed his eyes and asked again: "Have you ever considered the deeper issues? Why do people prefer to believe that something exists rather than believe that it doesn't exist?"

Li Yuanlang said: "I am the secretary of the Ruozhou Municipal Party Committee and a public figure. Public figures should have responsibilities and responsibilities towards the public."

"I think we need to reflect on a question. Why do the majority of netizens ignore official media and police reports, and are so fond of, even paranoid and gloating about, that I am the one who always wins?"

"I think the underlying issue is a crisis of trust. It all stems from the public's distrust of the official. No matter what the official says or does, they don't believe it or agree with it."

"Wishful thinking is official sophistry and official responsibility. Even the unreasonable belief is that I should not look like Chang Yousheng, and the fault lies with me. You are the municipal party committee secretary, this is your responsibility, your fault, you

It shouldn’t look like this.”

"In a word, no matter what you do, whether intentionally or unintentionally, it is always wrong."

"It shows that the prestige of the officialdom in the eyes of the people has been reduced. They are using this oolong incident as an excuse to vent their dissatisfaction. It is not possible to freeze three feet in a day. The trust crisis accumulates over time and will eventually lead to disaster. This is the biggest problem.

."

"We need those in charge to reflect deeply and respond appropriately. One term in office will benefit one party. Obviously, our leaders have not done well enough in some aspects, and are not ideal and comprehensive enough, which has led to the public no longer trusting and unwilling to trust.

"

"They would rather believe a version that suits them, even if it is false, than admit the truth."

"People's hearts are like water, boiling soup cannot stop boiling; people's hearts are like fire, cooking oil cannot ignite the fire. People's hearts need to be treated with care to restore them."

"Yeah." Lu Linsong leaned his head on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and said, "Your analysis is very good and very in-depth. You hit the nail on the head and tell the essence of the underlying issues."

"Then tell me, how do you plan to deal with it next?"

Li Yuanlang knew very well that his father-in-law was testing his on-the-spot reaction. He thought for a while and said word by word: "I believe that the pure will become pure by itself, and the turbid will become turbid by itself. What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true. In this incident

Before the investigation is clear, I will never speak out easily, do not defend myself, let alone think about how to get out, and do not discuss the matter as it is."

"I have to believe in the organization and the government, and I believe that they will give me a clean slate. I have reported the matter in detail to Secretary Zhou of the Provincial Party Committee, and I believe that the Provincial Party Committee will handle it fairly and justly."

"In addition, after the incident is clarified, I will work as usual, without any need to confess or speak out. In short, there are two points, one is quiet and the other is moving."

"Keep quiet in front of the public, keep silent, don't confront, refute, or respond. In front of the organization, stay still, speak clearly, take evidence, and speak clearly."
