Secretary Zhang's office is very large.
Following Secretary Li inside, we found that the outer room was just a reception room; the real office was inside.
Squeak!
Secretary Li pushed open the door and led the two into the inner room.
"Secretary Zhang, Director Chen is here!"
Secretary Li reminded him, then brewed two more cups of tea, filled Secretary Zhang's teacup with water, and left.
Upon hearing this, Secretary Zhang, who was wearing glasses and reviewing documents on the table, put down his pen, pointed to the two seats in front of him, and said, "Sit down. I called you here mainly to inquire about the situation of this poisoning case."
Director Chen then began his report.
The main purpose is to report the course of the crime and the procedures involved, including the current situation of the poisoned individuals in this case.
Secretary Zhang listened attentively throughout the lecture without offering any opinions, and then inquired about a few details.
This time it was Guan Feng's turn to answer.
He was concise and to the point, saying little, but his points hit the nail on the head.
Secretary Zhang nodded and said, "The suspected poisoning case has resulted in more than 100 people being hospitalized and one person dying, causing a huge social impact. The publicity department has informed me that instead of passively waiting for media reports, it would be better to take the initiative to hold a press conference to clarify everything. What is your bureau's opinion on this?"
Director Chen thought for a moment and said, "This idea is indeed feasible! Before I came, I had already notified the publicity department of the bureau to edit the information and publish it on the Safe Hua'an official WeChat account and videos to clarify everything."
Secretary Zhang nodded and said, "What are your thoughts on this press conference? Feel free to discuss them."
Director Chen thought for a moment and then gave his opinion.
Secretary Zhang looked at Guan Feng and said, "You must be Guan Feng. I've heard Lao Yang mention you before. Tell me your thoughts."
Guan Feng sat up straight and began to mentally prepare his speech.
If your boss tells you to discuss things freely, you can't actually assume you can just do whatever you want.
Fortunately, he had considered several key points beforehand when handling this case. A few seconds later, he spoke calmly and confidently: "Secretary Zhang, I handled the entire case. How should I put it? Looking back, this was an accidental mass poisoning incident caused by two unforeseen events. I was wondering if we could start from this angle and proactively guide the public to think beyond the case itself?"
Secretary Zhang asked, "Will you continue?"
Guan Feng continued, "The first issue is that people agree to exorbitant bride prices but then back out, allowing others to take advantage of the situation. The main issue is... the second issue is that gambling persists despite repeated crackdowns, driving people to take risks..."
“In fact, if we treat such a large-scale mass poisoning incident as an accident, the public will easily question it. Although that is the truth, the discussion it sparks will put our work in a passive position.”
"Why not turn the tables and take the initiative? On the one hand, inform the public about the cause of the bride price incident, and on the other hand, strengthen anti-gambling publicity. Both of these issues are likely to spark heated discussions among the public, shifting the discussion from the toxic beef incident to bride prices and anti-gambling. Then we can carry out targeted publicity and education campaigns and special operations. This approach, starting with specific cases and expanding to broader issues, can better demonstrate our determination to take remedial measures."
After listening to Guan Feng's account, Secretary Zhang put down his pen, nodded, and said, "You're a young man after all! Your ideas are so lively. Your idea is very novel and feasible. Would you dare to come up on stage?"
Guan Feng was stunned, clearly not expecting Secretary Zhang to put him in such a prominent position.
Chen Guoqiang then said from the side, "At the last press conference held by the bureau, it was Xiao Guan who answered questions on stage and received unanimous praise."
Secretary Zhang then pointed out, "In that case, the press conference will be hosted by the Publicity Department. Guan Feng, as the police representative, you will participate in this press conference. The specific approach will follow what you just said. Are you confident?"
At this point, Guan Feng had to make a statement, so he stood up and said, "Thank you for your affirmation, Secretary Zhang! I will do my best to complete the task and ensure the successful convening of this press conference."
Secretary Zhang said, "I'll call Minister Li, and you can discuss the specific details."
He dialed the phone on his desk and asked Minister Li to come to his office.
A moment later, Minister Li from the Publicity Department walked in, and Secretary Zhang introduced him, saying, "Old Li, you should all think about the press conference. Xiao Guan will participate and speak and answer questions on behalf of the Municipal Bureau."
Minister Li said, "Okay, Secretary Zhang."
He then looked at Chen Guoqiang and Guan Feng and invited them, "Shall we discuss this?"
Chen Guoqiang and Guan Feng quickly stood up, said goodbye to Secretary Zhang, and then went to the office with Minister Li.
Both sides briefly discussed the upcoming press conference and rehearsed potential issues. They ultimately decided that a total of seven people would participate in the press conference: one host, three publicity department personnel, and three municipal bureau personnel.
The press conference is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. tomorrow.
After the discussion, Chen Guoqiang immediately took Guan Feng back to the Municipal Bureau. A small meeting was held, and Guan Feng, who was attending tomorrow's press conference, also participated in the Municipal Bureau Party Committee meeting.
At the head of the table was Chen Guoqiang, flanked by several deputy directors including Wang Jiebin, Zhao Chuanyong, and Zhao Dong, as well as Wu Hua, the office director, who was also present to take notes.
Chen Guoqiang briefly explained the situation and then said to Guan Feng, "Xiao Guan, you also participated in the propaganda department's discussion just now, tell us about the situation."
Guan Feng succinctly described the situation at tomorrow's press conference.
Chen Guoqiang said, "Tomorrow, three people from our municipal bureau will participate in this press conference. The media involved this time include not only those from the city and province, but also two heavyweight media outlets from Beijing. So, let's discuss the personnel allocation?"
Zhao Dong said, "Since Secretary Zhang has chosen this person, Xiao Guan will definitely participate, and Director Chen, as the representative of the bureau, will also participate. In fact, we are now just deciding on the last person. I think Wang Ya Yue is the best choice. She has a good image and temperament, and her speaking skills are also good. She is originally a staff member of the publicity department. Her participation will be a plus for tomorrow's press conference."
