Officialdom: After My Demotion, My Powerful Background Was Exposed

When his superior retired, Li Lin, as his secretary, was implicated and demoted to an indefinite secondment as deputy township head in a remote rural town.

With no backing, Li Lin's polit...

Chapter 67 Rumor, Night of the Seven Daughters

"unless..."

Everyone looked at Song Siyao nervously.

I only heard her say helplessly, "Unless the county party committee and county government immediately issue an announcement to deal with you organizationally, this will calm the public anger!"

Everyone showed an expression of disbelief.

It is inconceivable to deal with a cadre who has not made any mistakes in order to calm public anger.

This is also the ultimate test for the organization to see whether a cadre has a sense of the overall situation and the spirit of self-sacrifice!

The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense and depressing.

Everyone turned their eyes to Li Lin.

I don’t know how he will respond.

Li Lin smiled helplessly and said calmly, "If this is the only way, I accept it!"

It is undeniable that he did underestimate the Lu family and the forces behind them, and his rash actions triggered this series of adverse reactions.

Song Siyao smiled with relief and nodded, thinking to herself, this boy is great, Li Lan was right about him!

But Li Lin's next words directly overturned Song Siyao and everyone present. He said, "As a party member and cadre, I obey any decision of the organization, but..."

"Even if I step down from this position, even if I am branded as a corrupt official, a scum, and a villain, I will not give up the fight against those lawless elements!"

"The organization can choose to take a step back and the world will be bright, but in my personal belief, taking a step back means falling into an abyss! So no matter what the result is, I will use my own strength to deal with them to the end!"

Everyone stood there in shock.

They were all shocked by the unyielding aura emanating from Li Lin!

Song Siyao and the reporters accompanying her also looked at Li Lin in amazement.

In the past, when they dealt with similar incidents, they would ask the parties involved such questions, but they would either remain silent or resist in their hearts...

But Li Lin, this young township official, unexpectedly displayed the spirit of a king!

Song Siyao pushed the frame of her glasses on her nose again. It seemed that the lenses were very thick and made her nose feel uncomfortable.

She smiled and said, "This is just the fastest way to calm things down. Of course, it's not the only way."

"I will immediately send our reporters to Weishui Township for an on-site visit to collect some positive materials, respond indirectly, spark online controversy, and reverse the current one-sided situation."

"When the time is right, we can interview you personally and answer your questions directly, and all problems will be solved!"

"Don't worry, I won't treat you unreasonably unless it's absolutely necessary!"

It has to be said that as the editor-in-chief of the provincial TV station, Song Siyao is indeed very methodical in handling such public opinion incidents.

Li Lin smiled and nodded, saying, "Mr. Song, I'm sorry, I was a little emotional just now, but what I said was the truth from the bottom of my heart. If everyone of us backs down, those criminals will become even more lawless!"

"You are right, so we don't plan to compromise!" Song Siyao said with a smile.

The field interviews were quickly arranged, but the number of reporters from the provincial and county stations was too small, making it difficult to collect useful materials in a short period of time.

Li Lin then suggested to Song Siyao whether it is possible to employ self-media workers, let them go to the front line to collect materials independently, and finally summarize them to Song Siyao, who will check them before publishing them.

After getting Song Siyao's consent, Li Lin immediately contacted Hou Yaodong and asked him to make arrangements as soon as possible.

All work is progressing intensively...

As expected, after the provincial TV station coordinated with all online platforms to issue a clarification announcement, the direction of public opinion regarding the "demolition of illegal buildings" incident in Weishui Township gradually reversed.

After watching the full video of the demolition, many rational netizens immediately turned their guns on those who spread rumors.

Of course, many netizens still seized on the topic of Li Lin "having sex with seven women at night" and strongly demanded that the county government take action against such cadres with improper work styles!

Some people even clamored to publish Li Lin's photo and address, and to teach this scum a lesson at his home!

Song Siyao and others were also very troubled by this.

Fortunately, journalists and many self-media workers who went to the front line to collect materials have also brought good news.

"Editor-in-Chief, someone has volunteered to appear on camera to clarify the issue of free food and free drinks for Secretary Li Lin..."

"Editor-in-chief, some villagers pointed out to us that the Lu family relied on their power to obstruct the township government's demolition work many times."

"Editor-in-chief, regarding the rumor that Secretary Li Lin beat up the people, some villagers also appeared on camera to clarify it!"

...

After watching all the clarification videos, Song Siyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She pushed up her glasses and said to Li Lin with a smile, "You are lucky. There are so many people willing to help you. This matter will soon turn around!"

Li Lin smiled helplessly. They were all false rumors, but when they were put on the Internet, they were so harmful to people!

It almost ruined his future and ambitions!

At this time, the Lu family.

A group of younger generations of the Lu family gathered around Lu Tiancheng with serious expressions.

"Uncle, many videos suddenly appeared on the Internet to clarify the matter for Li Lin. It seems that he is about to get away with it!"

"Not only that, but quite a few internet celebrities even came to our hometown and found a few villagers who were not on good terms with us, and kept digging up our family's dark history. If this continues, the situation will be very unfavorable to us!"

"Uncle, if you don't take action, I'm afraid we won't be able to bring down Li Lin, and instead we'll end up getting into trouble!"

"Uncle..."

"Shut up! You're a bunch of rubbish!"

Lu Tiancheng stood up angrily.

He never expected that he would be suppressed in his own field!

Li Lin...is not as simple as I imagined!

He quickly took out his cell phone and dialed a number. The call was quickly connected, and he spoke respectfully.

"Mr. Lu, it's your turn now..."
