Secretary Du thought Guan Yuxi was being reckless, after all, this matter was very risky.
Guan Yuxi, however, advised him that the days of "the bolder the man, the greater the harvest" were over.
Now is the perfect opportunity to make Shuanghe Commune famous overnight.
In this way, not only garment factories will benefit, but also food processing plants and chemical plants will benefit greatly.
Secretary Du was successfully brainwashed by her and, as she suggested, gave a cold, official reply to both the city newspaper and the county party committee.
Regardless of how the county committee reacted upon receiving the reply.
The city newspapers, however, were in an uproar.
Doesn't the community know about this local tyrant's swaggering behavior?
Even if they were just offering a few perfunctory explanations and whitewashing the situation, it would have been fine. But now, bureaucrats are talking about a "strict investigation."
It's clearly a case of local collusion and colluding to commit crimes!
They even have protectors at the county level; otherwise, how could they be so arrogant?
Reporter Lin stared wide-eyed as he replied, his every cell in his body screaming with excitement.
Previously, he was famous, but only at the city level.
His pen only shines in the city newspaper.
If this incident is handled well, he might just become a nationally renowned writer overnight.
The name of journalist Lin will spread throughout the country!
Without saying a word, he quickly picked up his pen and wrote a more impassioned battle cry in one go, firing the first shot in the war against the "old military rogue"!
He spent two or three hours revising and rewriting before finally putting down his pen.
He checked the entire text again with satisfaction, then copied it neatly several times before sending it to various newspapers. Only then did he stop, completely satisfied.
Municipal Party Committee Office.
On the table was a statement written by Secretary Du himself, titled "Explanation Regarding Old GM's Suspected Becoming a Local Tyrant" (fake, a rumor).
Secretary Song's gaze narrowed slightly as he looked at the cold, impersonal explanation.
The secretary carefully observed his expression, but couldn't discern anything.
"Secretary, I'll return it and have them rewrite their defense. This is just too irresponsible..."
Seeing that he didn't react, he carefully took the paper away.
"Make a copy of this, and at the same time, get the municipal party committee's approval for the investigation, stamp it, and send it to the newspaper office as soon as possible!"
"Oh, isn't that inappropriate?"
The secretary was so surprised she couldn't close her mouth.
It's understandable that the commune cadres were so perfunctory.
After all, those peasants weren't highly educated, so the county shouldn't have presented them with this thing.
Even if the county was negligent, the city should not respond like that; otherwise, there would be an uproar.
Mayor Song glanced at him, his eyes unreadable.
"Inappropriate? Hmm, indeed inappropriate! Then write another long article to talk in detail about Comrade Guan's merits."
In an instant, the secretary felt a chill run down her spine, and her forehead was covered in beads of sweat.
this......
He committed a major taboo in his career!
The leader is clearly up to something, but he completely fails to grasp his intentions.
"By the way, also send a copy of the remittance records that we made to Guan Yuxi before, as evidence. Just say it's a common practice of the Municipal Party Committee to care for veterans."
The secretary responded with a "Yes" and withdrew.
He vaguely knew that the leader was playing a grand game, but he didn't have the ability to see through it.
Therefore, he didn't mention a word about Guan Yuxi returning the money.
He's not so naive as to think the boss has forgotten about it!
The secretary quickly prepared everything and delivered it to the newspaper office.
Upon seeing the city bureau's reply, reporter Lin was so excited he was practically bursting with excitement.
This is a golden opportunity!
The editor-in-chief, however, frowned more and more as he read it.
He sensed something was amiss and didn't want to get involved.
"Is this truly Secretary Song's instruction?"
The secretary pointed to the bright red official seal and chuckled, "You don't actually think I'd dare to forge it, do you?"
Even if it's fake, he can't escape the truth.
The chubby editor-in-chief, however, was more cunning. He quickly wrote a line and looked at him with a smile, saying, "Secretary Lin, could you please sign this for me?"
My little arms and legs can't take much strain.
The secretary rolled her eyes at his obese figure, signed the document, and turned to leave.
Reporter Lin became increasingly excited, "Brother-in-law, our chance has come!"
If we were the first to expose such a big case, we would become famous throughout the country!
As the saying goes, one should become famous as early as possible. You've reached your limit; if you want to go further, you'll have to find another way.
The editor-in-chief's brows gradually relaxed, but he was still somewhat hesitant.
Reporter Lin continued to persuade him: "Brother-in-law, with the Municipal Bureau backing you up, what are you afraid of!"
These materials were all delivered by them.
"Alright, let's do something big!"
The editor-in-chief signed his name with a flourish.
Reporter Lin hadn't recovered from his excitement yet; one idea after another kept popping into his head, making him feel like he was about to explode.
He quickly returned to his desk and began writing furiously, vividly describing how a veteran revolutionary with numerous merits had relaxed his self-discipline due to pride and indulged his parents' evil deeds.
Even how commune and county-level cadres acted as accomplices to evildoers, or even colluded with them, was discussed in a highly politicized manner.
The report was published the following day.
This immediately caused a huge uproar in the entire city of Hong.
This wasn't the end of it, because soon after, neighboring cities such as Jinhe, Zi, and Yi also reprinted the report.
Rumors quickly spread that the old revolutionaries, emboldened by their past achievements, had become local criminal elements, spreading throughout the southwest region and even threatening to spread nationwide.
