In the office of Municipal Party Committee Member Peng Yutao.
Peng Yutao, Qian Lingyun and Liang Xiangwen all frowned. Wei Haiyang, who was serving diligently, felt the solemn and depressing atmosphere and dared not make a sound.
Peng Yutao was the first to ask, "Old Qian, what did you do? How did you cause such a serious public opinion incident?"
It is not easy to catch Qian Lingyun's weaknesses. This time, Peng Yutao must take the opportunity to vent his long-accumulated dissatisfaction with Qian Lingyun.
Qian Lingyun didn't indulge him and said, "Secretary Peng, now is not the time to find out who is right or wrong. Instead, we need to quickly suppress this matter and not let the situation escalate and cause worse consequences!"
Peng Yutao sneered, "I'm not holding you responsible, but I never thought that as the mayor of a city, you couldn't control the situation? Why did it cause such a big public opinion incident! Well, I won't say anything now. If you have any ideas, tell me quickly, and implement them as soon as possible. Let's put this matter to bed as soon as possible!"
Qian Lingyun frowned and said, "I will contact Minister Fang of the Propaganda Department first and listen to his opinions."
Liang Xiangwen sighed and said, "Mayor Qian, I have already reported this to Minister Fang. He made it clear that we should find ways to reduce the impact of public opinion..."
"What can we do ourselves?" Qian Lingyun found it unbelievable. The Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department could easily handle the matter with just a few words, but why did they have to make things difficult for the Municipal Party Committee?
Liang Xiangwen explained, "Minister Fang's meaning is that the municipal government should also accept media supervision appropriately and should not suppress it forcefully when encountering a small problem, as this will affect the government's credibility..."
Peng Yutao sneered, thinking to himself, I wonder how much face you, Qian Lingyun, have with Minister Fang. You even have the nerve to suggest going to Minister Fang to solve the problem. You really don't know what the hell you're talking about.
Qin Lingyun found it unreasonable when he heard this. The biggest adverse impact was that the government was slandered without reason. Nothing is absolute, and the solution should be chosen according to the actual situation.
Pingyang City is now facing this kind of malicious slander and defamation. It must use a quick and decisive approach to cut off the root causes, so as to reduce the adverse impact of public opinion on Pingyang City.
"Minister Fang's words make sense, but we have not made any principled mistakes. The contradiction is caused by public misunderstanding. If we just try to solve the problem through explanations, will the people buy it?" Qian Lingyun fell into anxiety. He could never have imagined that the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department would refuse to help at the critical moment.
Liang Xiangwen shook his head helplessly and spread his hands. "This is the situation we are facing now. The municipal party committee and government should have published the situation statement on the Internet. However, just doing this will not help to reverse the situation!"
Qian Lingyun fell silent, and for a moment he was at a loss as to what to do.
After careful consideration, Peng Yutao said, "How about this. Minister Liang will go to the province in person and meet with Minister Fang first. Then he will invite the leaders of the provincial radio and television station to dinner and ask them to come forward to help think of a solution. Even if we can't suppress it completely, at least we can control the direction of public opinion and prevent it from expanding further!"
"Okay, I'll go, but the two leaders shouldn't hold out too much hope. I heard that the director of the provincial TV station is also difficult to talk to... Besides, I don't have any personal relationship with them, so I can only ask someone to intercede for them."
Liang Xiangwen nodded reluctantly and agreed, feeling unsure about the task he was about to face.
Wei Haiyang came over with a thermos to refill the water for the three people. When he came to Peng Yutao, he reminded him in a low voice, "Secretary, I remember that Shannan County also had a serious public opinion incident not long ago. Later, I don't know who suppressed it. Should we ask Shannan County whether Secretary Liu and others have any special connections in the Propaganda Department?"
Wei Haiyang said casually under the guise of helping the city leaders. In fact, he had found out clearly that the Shannan County incident was arranged by Li Lin himself through his connections in the province...
Hiss~ Peng Yutao suddenly thought of something and said quickly, "Yeah, how could I have forgotten about this?"
He looked at Qian Lingyun and said, "Old Qian, before you returned to Pingyang, there was a serious public opinion incident in Shannan County, and the protagonist at that time was Li Lin."
"The city and the province were helpless to deal with the problem, but in the end it was resolved quietly."
"Afterwards, Liu Yong told me that it was Li Lin who suppressed the matter through Li Lan's connections."
"My idea is, can we ask Li Lin to go to the province and meet with Minister Li Lan to see if there is any solution to this problem?"
Hearing this, Qian Lingyun frowned even more tightly. He thought about it and felt that Li Lin should not be allowed to come forward easily in this matter.
If he stepped in and the problem was solved, it would be fine. But if it wasn't, he would probably be blamed by Peng Yutao.
Qian Lingyun is currently discussing with Lin Zheng the promotion of Li Lin to deputy director. It would be disadvantageous for him to be asked to handle this uncertain matter now.
Maybe if Li Lin didn't do a good job, Peng Yutao would use this as an excuse to postpone or even cancel Li Lin's promotion.
Qian Lingyun pondered for a moment and said, "Secretary Peng, Li Lin used to be my secretary. He is very capable, but handling this kind of thing is probably not his strong point. Besides, Li Lin is still following up on the state-owned asset restructuring. He simply doesn't have the extra energy to deal with this matter now. I think we should choose someone more capable."
Then, he looked at Wei Haiyang, smiled calmly and said, "Secretary Wei has been with you, Secretary Peng, for so long, I think his ability should be better than Li Lin's. Otherwise, why don't you let Secretary Wei go to the province and try?"
Wei Haiyang smiled awkwardly when he heard Qian Lingyun's words... Who should he go to the province to find? If he fails to do the job well, he will lose face. Isn't this just pushing him into the fire pit?
Peng Yutao glanced at Wei Haiyang. He knew that Wei Haiyang didn't have any strong connections in the province. Qian Lingyun suggested that Wei Haiyang handle this matter simply because he didn't want Li Lin to step in.
He smiled and said, "Old Qian, don't be modest on behalf of Li Lin. We all know that Minister Li Lan is his sister. I believe that if Minister Li Lan comes forward, this matter can still be turned around. Don't protect your child. If Li Lin can handle this matter well, I will give him a credit!"
A merit? Qian Lingyun smiled in his heart, who the hell needs such empty promises! Who doesn't know how to give verbal commendation? Can you do something more practical?
So he stopped trying to cover it up and said directly, "How about this, Secretary Peng, I'll go back and talk to Li Lin and ask him to go to the province."
"I don't think it's necessary to give him a commendation. Let's be more practical. He should be promoted to a higher level. If he can accomplish this, how about you consider promoting him to the deputy director position?"
Everyone was stunned.
Wei Haiyang was even more stunned.
Originally, he wanted to use this tough bone to make things difficult for Li Lin.
Unexpectedly, Qian Lingyun actually used this matter as a bargaining chip and directly asked to promote Li Lin.
That's a deputy director! Wei Haiyang has been with Peng Yutao until now, but he is only a regular section chief...
Why is Li Lin so lucky?
