Chapter 23 Chapter Twenty-Three

Chen Mo received a phone call from the provincial TV station He Nian Shou, saying, Minister Chen, we have an idea about strengthening positive reports in Longshui County, and I don't know if it is feasible.Chen Mo said with a smile, what the old man said must be feasible. He Nianshou just laughed and said, this is also the spirit of implementing your instructions.When you came to the provincial capital, didn’t you want us to strengthen positive reports and strengthen the guidance of public opinion? We are going to make a big move this time, and we will take seriously the elegant Longshui in the promotion of the top ten charming counties, and focus on publicizing this fight against Lorna Among them, especially the martyrs who died in the emergency rescue of Denglongping.

Chen Mo said, well, this is also a consideration in our department.Since the Oolong River pollution incident, the media has been almost one-sided, describing Longshui as dark.Your plan is good, I am here to make a statement, if you want money or goods, we will give them all. He Nian Shou briefly talked about their plans, and Chen Mo said, Brother He, I don't know if you have thought about it. After the pollution incident in Longshui this year, Longshui should have missed the selection of the top ten charming counties. Awards night. He Nianshou laughed and said, Minister Chen, you don't know much about the power of the media.The media is a monster, an omnipotent monster, there is nothing it cannot do.I might as well say it here, if this is done, I guarantee that Longshui will enter the top ten charming counties in the province.

Chen Mo laughed and said, it's so amazing. You have forgotten a fashionable saying, whoever the media wants to be popular should be popular, and whoever the media wants to be black should be black.He Nianshou said with a smile.What He Nianshou said was the truth, but he said it so frankly that it was creepy. The next day, the plan of the provincial TV station was faxed over.Long Yongshou first saw the plan, took it to Chen Mo's office, and said with a smile, Minister Chen, the effect of your visit to the provincial capital this time is too obvious. The promotion plan of the provincial TV station has just been faxed, so you haven't seen it yet.

Chen Mo laughed and said, He Nian Shou and the others are really in a hurry.After reading the fax, the province's plan focuses on the ten charming counties at the end of the year. In addition to asking the families of the martyrs to participate, the theater troupe in the county is also required to rehearse a dance that shows the heroic disaster relief and fearless sacrifice of the martyrs. Longshui County took out the first draft by itself, and then the provincial stage reviewed and revised it. During the dance rehearsal process, the provincial stage will send special dancers to Longshui for guidance.Generally speaking, the atmosphere of the whole dance should be tragic, solemn, and inspiring... As for the on-site fundraising for the families of the martyrs, the county can organize some, and enterprises and caring people outside the county can be contacted by the provincial TV station.

According to the plan of the provincial station, Chen Mo presided over a ministry meeting and adjusted the work direction of the ministry.The focus of the publicity is to publicize the martyrs who died in the rescue of the Denglongping landslide, and some divisions of labor have been made.Chen Yin was in charge of contacting the provincial and municipal news media and organizing a batch of manuscripts and TV reports.Long Yongshou contacted the business community and other relevant departments to organize some fundraising activities.Luo Lan is responsible for contacting the county cultural bureau, writing the dance script, implementing dance music creation, orchestration and other matters, and at the same time guiding the dance rehearsal of the cultural system.

After the meeting, Roland found Chen Mo alone, and said, Minister Chen, I have some reservations about your decision, and I don't know if it should be said or not. Chen Mo laughed and said, just say what you have to say, there is nothing wrong with it. Roland smiled and said, I know your consideration is to guide public opinion, but from the perspective of the families of the martyrs, it is cruel to expose these wounds at this time.In addition, if there is a fundraiser, I suggest not to publicize it, especially not to go on TV, it is heartbreaking to watch. Chen Mo listened and fell silent.Roland's words are right. Sometimes, what looks like charity is actually a kind of cruelty.Whenever a major disaster strikes, in order to attract people's attention, the TV station pulls some survivors onto the stage, uncovers their already healed scars and makes them shed sad tears again.Even making them grateful for the 120,000 donation is actually a kind of devastation.Those directors pay more attention to their own ratings, how many people really have compassion?

It is of course justifiable for Roland to raise these questions from the standpoint of compassion, but also from the perspective of human nature.However, the propaganda tool is always the illegitimate child of politics, and it cannot be completely carried out from the perspective of human nature.The starting point of propaganda is always subordinate to political needs.In the commercial society, it has become a hybrid of political and commercial interests, earning the greatest commercial benefits while meeting political needs. At that moment, Chen Mo looked at Roland with a smile and said, Roland, I understand everything you said.However, propaganda is to inspire the people, unite the hearts of the people, and execute it.

On this day, Chen Mo was looking at the circulated documents in the office when the door was knocked lightly, and Long Yongshou stood at the door with a smile.Chen Mo smiled and said, what are you doing standing at the door, come in.Long Yongshou walked in with a smile and said, the minister is busy. Look at the file, there is nothing wrong.Chen Mo said.How is the connection with the fundraising in the top ten charming counties? Long Yongshou replied with a smile, I held a symposium for enthusiastic private business owners with the people from the Federation of Industry and Commerce. I heard that the fundraising was held at the party, and the bosses were very excited when they had to hold signs.

Chen Mo just laughed.This is what he expected.The current private owners are very shrewd in their calculations.If you are going to raise money in a serious way, there will not be too many responses.But I am very happy to show my face on the satellite TV channel.Why not do good deeds and advertise at the same time? Chen Mo threw a cigarette to Long Yongshou, took out one himself, lit it up and smoked, and looked at Long Yongshou with a smile.Chen Mo has now developed a habit. When subordinates come to his office, he usually doesn't take the initiative to ask what's the matter. Now that he has come, he will definitely say it.Long Yongshou chattered about for a while, then suddenly smiled treacherously, took out a document from his briefcase, handed it to Chen Mo, and said, Minister, please don't criticize me, I did it on my own.Chen Mo took the materials and saw that it was a letter written in the name of Longshui cadres and the masses to ask for credit for Peng Yimin.Chen Mo didn't know, but this was actually the one in Long Xiaoyi's desk drawer.Chen Mo looked at Long Yongshou in puzzlement, and said in a low voice, Yongshou, what tricks are you doing.

Seeing Chen Mo's sullen expression, Long Yongshou couldn't help becoming nervous, and said, Minister, you are too kind, I have to do what you don't want to do.I just don't want to let the good leaders in my mind lose this opportunity, and let people who are good at playing power and corruption climb to high positions. You have gone too far, Comrade Yongshou.Chen Mo said, I can't agree with what you said. Who is good at playing tricks and who is corrupt? You can't talk nonsense, there must be evidence.I still have the same sentence, honest and nameless, those who establish fame are greedy; those who use skills without skill are clumsy.Using power tactics is a kind of clumsiness and a manifestation of incompetence.

Long Yongshou nodded and said, Minister, you are right to criticize.In fact, I am not all for you, some are for myself.I still remember the day when I told you why I didn’t become a director of the bureau, but a deputy director of the Propaganda Department? That county leader was Peng Yimin.As long as he is in power, he is a mountain on my head.When he was the deputy county magistrate, he was so corrupt and so ruthless.If he becomes the main leader, I can be sure that I will never stand up in my life. Chen Mo didn't want to blame Long Yongshou too much.Judging from the materials aimed at him, Chen Mo also felt that the opponent hiding in the dark was actually Peng Yimin.Although Chen Mo showed an indifferent attitude in front of Peng Yimin, this only aggravated Peng Yimin's suspicion.Instead, Peng Yimin came to a very deep conclusion for Chen Mocheng's mansion.In officialdom, Chengfushen means insidious, and belongs to the kind of person who smiles in front of his face and dares to stab a knife behind his back. These are all conspiracies and cannot be spread out in the sun. To Chen Mo, this is justifiable.After many years in the officialdom, almost everyone can do this little trick.Didn't he, Chen Mo, also block Peng Yimin in a small but very accurate way in front of Cai Peng? It's just that he blocked Peng Yimin's official career, and didn't raise any of his problems. It is kinder to spread rumors and slander. At that moment, Chen Mo said seriously to Long Yongshou, Yongshou, the matter is over, let it pass.Pay attention in the future.Fortunately, this material of yours is just a commendation letter.It will not cause too much harm to Peng Yimin.What I want to say is that truth is relative. You may think that what you do at this time is correct, but as time goes by, you may regret it later.I always think that even the competition in the officialdom must be kind. Long Yongshou blushed and said, I understand, Minister. Dong Wei, secretary of the county party committee, presided over a meeting of the standing committee to arrange the work of the county party committee and the county government after Lin Zhifeng was arrested.Before the meeting, Dong Wei called Chen Mo and said, Minister Chen, are you in the office? Chen Mo replied, yes, do you have something to do? I will come down immediately.Dong Wei smiled and said, don't move, I have a lot of people here, so it's more convenient to talk to you.What else did Chen Mo say, but Dong Wei had already hung up the phone. After a while, Dong Wei's fat figure appeared at the door of the office.Chen Mo made tea, closed the door, and called the office director Huang Mingkun again, saying, Director Huang, I have something to do in the office, if anyone comes to me, just say I can't receive them, and I will contact you in the afternoon. After sitting down, Chen Mo said with a smile, "Secretary Dong, you came here in person. You must have some instructions, right?" Dong Wei took a deep breath of the cigarette and said, nothing happened.After Luo Na passed, some things happened in our county, and I was a little bit burnt out, so I came to see you today. Chen Mo said, yes, the Lorna attack caused too much damage to our Longshui, not only the loss of life and property, but also the loss of cadres. Dong Wei smiled wryly, and said, there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings, and I have realized it.After the accountability system, it is impossible to be a security officer. After gossiping for a while, Dong Wei finally brought the topic to the point, saying, Minister Chen, after the Wulong River was polluted, I have already written a report to the municipal party committee to take the blame and resign.The municipal party committee will approve it sooner or later.My work during this period is mainly to maintain stability, especially the ideological stability of the cadres and the masses. After hearing this, Chen Mo didn't know what to say.Although he was mentally prepared for Dong Wei's possible resignation, once Dong Wei said the words himself, he still felt a little uncomfortable.Strictly speaking, Dong Wei is not a bad leader. He was born in an office and has a literati air, so it makes people feel a little pedantic.Because he was born in an office and used to being cautious, Dong Wei was not very courageous, and there were not many transactions of power and money.It turned out that Lin Zhifeng looked down on Dong Wei quite a bit, saying that he could only write articles to refine his ideas, and he only knew how to protect his own seat. When a leaf fell from a tree, he hugged his head tightly for fear of being hit.In fact, it was precisely because of this cowardice that the investigation team did not find any evidence that Dong Wei was involved too deeply, so he escaped.However, because Lin Zhifeng was too courageous, in addition to being responsible for leadership, he was also found out about accepting bribes and participating in companies, and was finally jailed. The social and political situation in the county is relatively stable.Chen Mo said carefully. Dong Wei let out a long sigh and said, the lesson is profound, speaking of it, I am sorry for Zhang Zicheng.After he died, I thought a lot about it.The problem of concealment and non-reporting is mainly due to Lin Zhifeng. He is the county magistrate and knows the specific situation.Of course, I also have luck.I still insisted on calling Li Yiguang and reporting the situation, so that the downstream You County made preparations and cut off the tap water inlet.I also sent people to follow the pollution stream along the way.If it wasn't like this, if a few more people died in You County, my head would also fall off. Did you inform You County? Chen Mo asked. yes.Dong Wei sighed again.The lives of hundreds of thousands of people downstream are safe, can I not report? I called Li Yiguang.If I hadn't called Li Yiguang, this matter would not have been exposed on the Internet. Chen Mo just laughed and said that such a big matter cannot be concealed. The current Internet is very transparent. After chatting for a while, Dong Wei said, Minister Chen, I want to hold a standing committee in the next few days to arrange work.Lin Zhifeng was arrested, but no one was arrested at work.This time, the Standing Committee, I think, still needs to specify one person to catch the county government. Chen Mo said, this is indeed very urgent, the minds of the cadres and the masses are relatively confused at present, it is very important to specify a person to temporarily act as Lin Zhifeng's work.When the team is stable, the thinking of the cadres and the masses will also be stabilized.If the team is unstable, there will be various ideas. Dong Wei smiled and said, that's it, this is the purpose of my coming to discuss with you. Chen Mo became grateful and said, thank you secretary for trusting me.In fact, after you have discussed with Secretary Peng Yimin and other leaders, just inform me.I have always been resolutely obedient to the decisions of the county party committee. Dong Wei laughed and said, Minister Chen, everyone knows that you are very principled.I want to know what you really think in your heart. Before the superiors have adjusted the team of our county government, who should come and preside over the work temporarily? Seeing Dong Wei asking himself this question, Chen Mo fell silent.After smoking a cigarette, he said slowly, I haven't considered this matter.I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm a lazy person, and I usually have the mentality of enjoying the shade under a big tree, so I don't think much about these things that should be considered by the main leaders. Dong Wei smiled and said, you should talk about it, even if it is an exchange of ideas between us, but it doesn't matter. Chen Mo said that according to the normal sequence, after Lin Zhifeng's accident, of course Deputy Secretary Peng Yimin should take the burden.Next, Dai Wei, the executive deputy county magistrate, should be the one to pick. Dong Wei smiled and said, I still know Yimin, he is capable and level.We have worked together for many years, and generally speaking, we work well together.But this comrade also has his shortcomings, and he lacks some self-discipline.Comrade Dai Wei is lacking in ability. If he is a deputy, it will be very good. Chen Mo just laughed and said, Secretary Dong knows people well, which is admirable.I actually don't know much about Secretary Yimin and Deputy County Magistrate Dai Wei. After all, I just came here, and I don't like visiting people, so I know less about my colleagues.However, no one is perfect, so use your strengths. Dong Wei smiled and looked at Chen Mo for a while, and said, you have considered this and that, have you really not considered yourself? Chen Mo was shocked, and said, "Don't dare, Secretary Dong, I have little talent and morality, so I really dare not have extravagant hopes." Dong Wei smiled and said, otherwise, Comrade Chen Mo, you are very capable, practical in work, and politically mature.Both principled and flexible, he is a qualified leader. Thank you Secretary Dong for the wrong love, I am really ashamed to kill me.Chen Mo was terrified.How can I dare to claim that I have any talents and virtues, and I have made some achievements under the correct leadership of you and the county party committee. Comrade Chen Mo.Dong Wei became serious and said.I am interested in you, and I plan to study it with you at the Standing Committee, and then report to the Municipal Party Committee, asking you to take on this project. This is also a job requirement, so you should think about it. Chen Mo smiled, he had already thought about it.It was an eventful autumn in Longshui County, and instead of presiding over the work temporarily, it became the target of public criticism.It's better to keep a low profile and wait for the decision of the municipal party committee.Now I became more humble and said, Secretary Dong, I am very grateful for your trust in me, not because I am afraid of taking on the burden.I don't know much about the situation in the whole county, and I don't know what to do.If you shoulder the burden hard, I'm afraid it will delay your work.To paraphrase an ancient saying, don't put me on the fire. Dong Wei didn't expect that Chen Mo would resolutely refuse, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly.Minister Chen, since you insist on resigning and refuse to take the role, I will not force you.I think you may be too pessimistic about the situation in Longshui, right? Chen Mo quickly said, that's not the case, Secretary Dong, I don't accept this task mainly because I don't understand the situation.I have been in the Propaganda Department, and I don't have much contact with other fronts.If you make a guest appearance as the chief official of the county government temporarily, maybe you really missed the job.I still suggest that Comrade Peng Yimin or Dai Wei be invited to come out of the mountain. They have worked in Longshui for a long time and know everyone well.As the Propaganda Minister of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, of course I want to follow their lead.Don't worry, I will definitely cooperate with their work and support their work. Dong Wei smiled and said, I believe in this. You have always been a comrade with strong party spirit, and everyone can see it.How about this, I will also consider your suggestion, and we will discuss it again when the Standing Committee is in session. After sending Dong Wei away, Chen Mo locked himself in the office and recalled the whole process of their conversation.Chen Mo couldn't make up his mind for a while, and he refused to temporarily preside over the work of the county government. Whether it was right or wrong, whether it was a gain or a loss.Because, temporary agency is also an opportunity, if you are good at dealing with it, it is not impossible to set up the right.But thinking of the end, Chen Mo still felt that his decision was right.
