After listening to Xu Lizhong's report, Secretary Lu's face, which had been tense, suddenly showed a hint of relief. He looked at Xu Lizhong for a long time and then said slowly: "Lizhong, it seems that Ye Ming has a good vision: he once highly recommended it to me." Two comrades, Qing Tao and Zhang Yingzhi, said that they have good character and strong abilities. It is not clear yet whether they are strong or not. But the fact that they have good character proves that his judgment is correct. Now there is a voice across the country against Ye Ming. Under such circumstances, they can stick to their own judgment and dare to resist the so-called instructions of the main leaders of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee. This is commendable and is also a concrete manifestation of a person's character and official character."
At this point, he lowered his head again and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said to Xu Lizhong: "Lizhong, please make a phone call to two comrades Qing Tao and Zhang Yingzhi now and tell them that I insist on correct guidance of public opinion and insist on not believing in rumors." , resolutely resist some unhealthy attitudes and express full affirmation. At the same time, you also want them to rest assured that their actions are correct. For the wrong instructions given by individual leading cadres of the provincial party committee in the name of the organization without authorization, they should be resolutely resisted, but they cannot be followed blindly. "
Secretary Lu gave this instruction to Xu Lizhong for two purposes: First, to praise and encourage Qing Tao and Zhang Yingzhi for adhering to the correct position, and to show that he was very satisfied with their performance this time, so that they would be greatly encouraged and determined to follow him Second, he was worried that Zhou Jiqing and even Qin Ge might put pressure on the M City Party Committee, Municipal Government and Provincial TV Station to force them to report the news of Ye Ming's arrest. Therefore, he wanted to tell them through Xu Lizhong: He, the Provincial Party Committee The secretary is opposed to reporting this case. In this case, no matter who puts pressure on them, they will know it in their hearts and will never change their previous decision...
Sure enough, after receiving this phone call with a little praise and comfort from Xu Lizhong, both Qing Tao and Zhang Yingzhi were extremely excited on the phone. Zhang Yingzhi was even so happy that she giggled like a child.
After the excitement, they all expressed their stance to Xu Lizhong in a very firm tone: Please tell Director Xu to tell Secretary Lu that this unit must resolutely implement Secretary Lu's instructions, adhere to the party's public opinion position, do not believe in rumors, and do not create slander or slander for some people with ulterior motives. Opportunities for provincial party committee leaders...
After listening to Xu Lizhong's narration of what Qing Tao and Zhang Yingzhi said, Secretary Lu nodded with satisfaction, and then, as if talking to himself, he softly said to Xu Lizhong: "Comrades Qing Tao and Zhang Yingzhi can be of great use in the future."
Xu Lizhong did not dare to answer, but nodded to Secretary Lu to express his approval of his judgment.
Secretary Lu waved Xu Lizhong out, then sat down on the armchair behind his desk, his eyes half-closed, his hands unconsciously twisting the pencil he had been holding, and he began to fall into a state of contemplation.
After thinking about it for about a quarter of an hour, Secretary Lu seemed to have finally made a big decision. He opened his half-closed eyes with a "huh", and there was a light with a bit of murderous aura in his eyes. He suddenly straightened up and took it. Picking up the red confidential telephone microphone on the table, he first called the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Minister Wang Yong’s mobile phone and asked him to come to his office.
Wang Yong is a newly promoted leader of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Now he is very close to Secretary Lu and Secretary Li. He can be regarded as a member of the "new camp" headed by Secretary Lu.
He was very respectful to Secretary Lu. When he entered Secretary Lu's office, he was half-bent, and always had a more humble smile on his face. He greeted Secretary Lu as soon as he entered, and his attitude was more respectful than that of some top leaders in prefectures, cities, and states.
Secretary Lu is a very good leader. He is generally very easy-going and humble towards people who respect him. Therefore, after Wang Yong came in, he treated Secretary Li as if he understood him. He walked out from behind the desk and took the initiative to extend his hand and shake Wang Yong's hand. and sat down side by side with him on the sofa
Because he was from his own camp, Secretary Lu did not say too many polite words, nor did he beat around the bush. He said straightforwardly: "Comrade Wang Yong invited you here today because he wanted to ask you to do something. You should have seen that today Early in the morning, a large number of posts and reports claiming to reveal the inside story of the May 16 Xinlang County case suddenly appeared on some portal websites and some news media. Moreover, these reports and posts came with such force that they were likely to start a prairie fire. I just took a closer look. The contents of those posts and reports are mostly conjectures without factual basis and evidence, and many of them are groundless accusations.
"Furthermore, the tendency and purpose of these posts and reports are very clear. They want to point the finger at Comrade Runji through the investigation of this case and throw dirty water on Comrade Runji. The propaganda departments of many cities and states in the province and some news media They are unable to see the hidden conspiracy behind this incident, or in other words, the heads of the propaganda departments in some places have already seen the conspiracy, but due to the manipulation of a few people, they have lost their principles and positions, adding fuel to the flames on television and newspapers, and distorting the facts. The irresponsible reporting objectively helped some conspirators and had a very bad impact on Comrade Runji's reputation and prestige.
"Therefore, my opinion is: when you return to the office later, immediately call the heads of the propaganda departments of the 14 prefectures and prefectures one by one, conduct telephone interviews with them, and ask them not to report any news about the May 16 major incident. It has been published in the newspaper. Those who reported this case must instruct the newspaper to buy back as many newspapers as possible and do everything possible to eliminate its negative impact. If anyone continues to report the so-called inside story of the case, the relevant responsible persons will be subject to party and government disciplinary sanctions. If serious, direct responsibility will also be held. defamation of persons"
Wang Yong is the Minister of Propaganda. Of course, he has already seen that those online posts and news reports are aimed at Secretary Li Runji. He is also looking for something to do to express his attitude to Secretary Lu so that he can have a better impression of himself.
Therefore, after listening to Secretary Lu’s instructions, he immediately stood up with a very serious expression on his face and said in a very determined tone: “Secretary Lu, don’t worry, I will go to the propaganda ministers and the editor-in-chief of the major newspapers to make appointments one by one. Talk about conveying and implementing the spirit of your instructions. We must not let our propaganda position become a tool for some careerists and conspirators to attack and frame Comrade Runji.”
