In mid-May 2003, in Beichong District, Yangzhou City, Hengbei Province, a qiguai phenomenon gradually emerged. Various documents and information stamped with the official government seal were paid for by people, and some people directly approached the district government.
, I hope to give you a piece of paper with an official seal.
This request is a bit too much. How can government seals be used so casually? However, although the Beichong District Government is not large, it does not lack various documents every year, especially those distributed to the bureaus and towns, which are even more.
Therefore, as long as someone wants to do it, they can still get it, even if it is just a small piece of paper, as long as the seal is complete, it is not bad to take it back and seal it in plastic, and put it on the altar table."
Not to mention, there are more than three or five companies that do this. It is said that after the gods are invited, the effect is really good. There have been no cases of SARS in Yangzhou recently, so there is no magic effect in fighting SARS. However, it is said that the stores that have invited the gods have good sales.
It's gradually improving.
These rumors may be exaggerated, but since someone has done this, there will naturally be some believers and some disbelievers. The altar table is so big, how big a deal is it to pay more than one piece of paper?
However, this matter made Chen Taizhong passive. It seems that there are not many outsiders in Yangzhou at present, but they are really caring. It didn't take long for someone to report through various channels that Chen Taizhong was suspected of engaging in personality worship.
There are more than one person who reacted like this. It’s okay for Chen Taizhong to cause trouble in Beichong. Even in restaurants and hotels in Yangzhou, the words Beichong District Government appeared on the table. What is he doing?
This public opinion reached Chen Taizhong through Gu Zhen, and Mayor Gu called District Mayor Chen. She half-jokingly and half-seriously asked, now that Bei Chongshen is very popular in Yangzhou, do you have any plans to build a temple?
"The temple cannot be built, otherwise it will really become a feudal superstition." Chen Taizhong is quite clear about the following trends, but he believes that this is a spontaneous behavior of the people and the government should not interfere too much. "Now let's turn a blind eye.
Close one eye."
"It's best to deal with it," Mayor Gu finished his joke and turned to the topic. "Many people reported to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee that this has been suspected of establishing a personality cult."
"Personality worship, hey," Chen Taizhong snorted disdainfully. These words frightened others, but not him. This was not the first time that Chen had engaged in a personality cult. "This is really ridiculous, even the district chief can do it."
Aren’t the mayors and governors going to be shrines to each other to establish a cult of personality? Or... the person who reported it thinks that neither the governor nor the mayor is as competent as me, the district chief?”
"Xiao Chen, you are shouldering the responsibility of Beichong now. You should be careful about what you say," Gu Zhen's voice became heavier. "The leaders all believe in you, but you must also pay attention to this material discussion...it may affect you.
future growth.”
"It's just a bunch of idle guys talking nonsense," Chen Taizhong became angry, and he didn't care that the other party was a female leader, so he cursed directly, "I really don't want the world to be in chaos. There is a reservoir named after me in Fenghuang.
Who dares to say anything?”
Do you really dare to make an analogy, can Fenghuang and Yangzhou be the same? Gu Zhen sighed, "Xiao Chen, Beichong's efforts have been recognized by everyone, and the temperature is just right. If it is exceeded, it will not be beautiful."
"This was not instigated by me at all," Chen Taizhong sighed helplessly. "Now that the district government has to come forward, it is suspected of hype. I have always felt that it is best to let things take their own course."
This statement is actually very reasonable, and Gu Zhen also knows this very well. As long as it does not involve issues of principle, rumors at the grassroots level really do not have much influence on the system.
It's just that someone's strings were stretched too tight or they had ulterior motives, which is why such an extra thing happened.
Mayor Gu had to make this call. She had no intention of exercising supervisory power for others. If the district mayor were replaced, she might be more responsible, but when it came to Chen Taizhong, she really didn't want to provoke him at all.
So she answered simply, "It's just hype. Subjectively, you have done something to stop it. That's enough. As for the objective results, who can guarantee it?"
"Ha," Chen Taizhong laughed when he heard this. He really didn't expect that Mayor Gu would show his favoritism, so he replied, "Then I know how to deal with it."
He said that he knew about it, but he didn't take it to heart. He just asked Tan Shengli to make some propaganda slogans and distribute them throughout the district. They just said that SARS is not terrible and that to prevent SARS, you need to develop good hygiene habits.
.
But this time, the promotional slogan was marked with the words "Beichong District Government Announcement" and a red seal on it.
Unexpectedly, this thing became even more popular after it spread out. It was originally a free promotional material distributed by the district. Merchants in Yangzhou bought it for three to five yuan a piece. Later, they all sold it in Yangzhou territory, let alone
In nearby Zhangcheng, Liyang, Chaotian and Guangbei, people bought this slogan, sealed it in plastic and offered it as an offering.
However, this slogan has been digested the most not in Yangzhou, but in the logistics center of Beichong. Drivers travel all day long, with half their foot on the accelerator and brake, and half on the gate of death. They are most concerned about all kinds of lipstick.
When I saw this issued by the district, some drivers asked for it to be posted on the car door. Unexpectedly, when the car entered other cities, or even other provinces such as Haijiao and Dibei, and encountered inspectors, some people saw it.
The slogan on the car door just asks, "Have you been to Beichong?"
"I go to the logistics center every day." Talking about people and talking about ghosts is also the instinct of an experienced driver.
At times like this, generally speaking, the other party won't be too difficult. I don't know if it's because Beichong has done a good job in preventing and controlling SARS, or if District Chief Chen is notorious, but in short... the one who put up this slogan is troublesome.
slightly less.
It spread like wildfire, and overnight, the news spread among the truck drivers. So everyone came to the logistics center. In addition to weighing and waiting for delivery, there was one more thing: asking for a slogan.
Get to the car.
After the news spread, some drivers who were not used to coming to Beichong for delivery had to make a special trip to the logistics center, not just for the sake of good looks, but for other conveniences.
There were so many people asking for slogans, and some asked for three or five at a time to ensure that the slogans on long-distance buses were always fresh. So the logistics center found that if there were not enough slogans, they would definitely not be used enough. Now there are many vegetable vendors in Chaotian on their tricycles.
They all have such slogans on them to show off that they are authentic.
"We have to charge for this slogan," the director of the logistics center reported to District Mayor Liu.
"Charging... is not good," Liu Haifang shook her head. It was originally a public welfare promotion, so how could it be charged?
In a place like the logistics center, there are people from all over the place, a real mixture of dragons and snakes. Every move in the center is watched by countless people. As long as there are loopholes in the new policies introduced, they will be found and exploited immediately.
Charging for slogans like this may lead to forced buying and selling. As long as you enter the logistics center, you have to buy the slogans. The liquidity of the center is too high, and it is impossible for leaders to know who really wants to buy and who is assigned.
The price of this slogan can be sold at a low price or at a high price. To do this, the staff does not even need to come forward.
They can entrust others to sell them. This kind of place never lacks various agents. The logistics center has only been officially operational for more than half a year. It has already eliminated seven or eight gangs involved in gangs, including those who cheated money, some who extorted money, and some who cheated on others. , and even more want the Raptors to cross the river to occupy the spot.
However, they deserved their misfortune when they spread their wild behavior to Beichong. Beichong people were known to be hard to mess with, and now they had a district chief who was extremely protective of their shortcomings. All kinds of gods, ghosts, and monsters were defeated one after another.
But even so, there are many unruly bosses in this market now. Although Liu Haifang is a female cadre, she is also very aware of such connections. She is from Huacheng. There are too many such deceitful bosses there.
In fact, for some cadres who are not very responsible, this is not a big deal. Forced buying and selling at increased prices only target the people at the bottom. As long as no one stabs them, no one cares about the car and boat shops. Even sinners deserve to be killed. In five thousand years, how many people and things like this have been seen?
But District Chief Liu doesn't see it that way. First of all, she hates chaos and doesn't like this situation. Secondly, the logistics center is still growing and in a period of rapid expansion. She doesn't want this trivial matter to affect the reputation of the logistics center.
The reputation of the logistics center was not good at first. Ge Baoling only gained some popularity by forcibly checking passing vehicles. At that time, various disputes continued, and Liu Hua even died because of it.
However, now that the center is becoming more and more formalized, we try to pay more attention to our own image. In the primitive accumulation stage, there is really no image to talk about. Once we have a certain foundation, image is very important.
So Liu Haifang thought about it and came to Chen Taizhong for advice. However, Chen Taizhong has too many things to pay attention to recently. Leaving aside the four major events of SARS, flood control, power dispatching and ramie, the construction of the two pieces of land in Chaoyang is also gradually increasing. It's been in full swing, not to mention a series of infrastructure construction and rural work.
When District Chief Liu rushed to District Chief Chen's courtyard, there were two people standing at the door. One was Wang Jingtang, deputy director of the Second Supervision Office of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission. Director Wang had basically taken Beichong as the boss for the past twenty days. Currently, the district Most people in the government have recognized this person, and they come here every now and then. They stay there for three to five days, then go back to Chaotian, and come again a day or two later.
Wang Jingtang himself felt very humiliated, but he had no choice but to come, unless he didn't want to do it anymore.
Ma Yingshi has already put down her words. If you let Chen Taizhong vent his anger, consider transferring you to the labor union or the Ethnic Affairs Committee as an investigator, otherwise you will wait to be thoroughly investigated.
Director Wang is also very capable, but he is only aggressive towards others, but not towards himself. Since he cannot go all out and lose this job, he can only obey his orders obediently. (To be continued...
