Chapter 261 Influence (Part 2)
After the live broadcast ended, the Internet was in an uproar.
"Questioning Haizhou" dominated the trending searches on Weibo, Tik Tok, Bilibili, and other online platforms. Marketing accounts and self-media outlets across the internet began to frantically capitalize on the buzz, with countless edited short videos circulating across multiple platforms.
If someone compiles the popularity list, they will see an astonishing scene. That is, "Questioning Haizhou", which originally had almost no discussion, exploded at 9:30, and its popularity increased by thousands of times.
Even if you are not from Haizhou or do not pay attention to politics, you have seen similar marketing videos.
Marketing account:
Jiang Ningyue is the undisputed king of variety shows. Fresh off her start, she masterminded the nationwide hit "Girl Group 101," then the chart-topping "A Longing for Life." "Farming Boy" has also been climbing the charts in recent months. Now, she's masterminded and hosted an unparalleled variety show: "Questioning Haizhou!" The mayor, department heads, and bureau chiefs—high-ranking officials rarely seen on a regular basis—gathered to listen to the people lambast the government's inaction. The mayor's repeated "red fever," the department heads' profuse apologies, the bureau heads' incoherent speech, the county magistrate's hands shaking. Who said this news is boring? This news is fantastic!
Marketing account:
Haizhou truly is at the forefront of reform! This thinking is incredibly advanced! On Haizhou TV's "Questioning Haizhou" segment, Jiang Ningyue confronted the mayor directly! During a reporter's investigation, a village chief embezzled 2 million yuan in bribes. The mayor denounced the chief's corruption. Jiang Ningyue then directly asked, "What about you?" (Original news footage) "So how much did you embezzle?" (Xia Baohua blushes) Xia Baohua: "You, you, you..." After the live broadcast ended, Jiang Ningyue waved her hand, and two staff members immediately escorted the mayor away! The surrounding department heads dropped their heads in fear.
["Questioning Haizhou"... "Does your government still care about the people?"]
[Watch one episode a day and you'll have no problem writing essays. The most hardcore variety show in the system has been born!]
On the Internet, countless people are also discussing "Questioning Haizhou" in the comment section.
[This is incredible! A mayor was arrested directly?]
[I was so amused. I was completely paralyzed when I saw the Discipline Inspection Commission show its evidence.]
When I saw this video, I thought the person had some kind of illness, but when I clicked on the comments, I realized they were just frightened.
["Questioning Haizhou" is awesome! (Thumbs up)]
【Jiang Ningyue is really too strong.】
【As expected of my goddess. 】
[Indeed, the "Questioning Government" column is held nationwide! ]
[This is hilarious! Our political column only ran for one episode and then stopped after the second.]
My boss and I participated in the "Questioning the Government" program. We were given our lines in advance. It was just a show.
Reply: [Your leader was also taken away from the scene? ]
Reply: [Has your leader also been issued an investigation notice by the Discipline Inspection Commission?]
Reply: [Is your boss also getting angry after being scolded? ]
Reply: [What kind of rubbish dares to take advantage of our Yueyue's popularity? Are you bullying our Yueyue because she has no fans? ]
[Ahhh! I missed the live broadcast. Where can I watch the full episode? ]
Reply: [Jiang Ningyue Fan Group (Funny)]
Reply: [Bilibili has Yueyue’s old fans, and all Yueyue’s news programs are available. You can check it out.]
During the live broadcast, "Questioning Haizhou" attracted only about two million viewers. However, after the live broadcast ended, especially after the live broadcast of the mayor's arrest, the number of netizens who directly or indirectly learned about "Questioning Haizhou" quickly exceeded 30 million, and this number is still rising rapidly.
Many of them, as die-hard fans of Jiang Ningyue, went online to watch the entire series.
How popular is this column?
Even central media outlets such as People's Daily and CCTV began to comment and "cash in on the hype."
At the same time, although the mayor was arrested, the municipal party secretary called a meeting of all departments that night and asked them to "rectify the problem overnight" and asked the government office to issue a written response as soon as possible after work the next day.
The most obvious thing is that the village chief of Xiaohewan Village was drinking and playing cards with others when the police station and the Discipline Inspection Commission rushed in and took him away. At the same time, the mine in Xiaohewan Village was also stopped by multiple departments and directly asked to stop working!
The mine owner made a lot of phone calls and asked everyone for help, but no one dared to agree.
In the past, when they drank and ate meat together, they all called each other brothers, but now that they are in trouble, they all say that they are not familiar with each other.
The boss gnashed his teeth in anger. "Damn it! You all took so much money from me, and now that something's happened, you're all silent. Okay, you won't say anything, right? Then we'll all die!"
In a fit of rage, the boss called the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection directly and said that he was the owner of the Xiaohewan Village mine mentioned in today's "Questioning Haizhou" column, and he wanted to report it under his real name!
Even if the boss did not take the initiative to contact the Discipline Inspection Commission to have a talk with him, the Discipline Inspection Commission directly asked him to come over after receiving the call.
The next day, after work, nearly everyone in Haizhou's government agencies and public institutions was discussing the previous night's live broadcast of "Questioning Haizhou." Some who had just gotten online thought the news was a joke, but after searching online, they realized it was real.
Many people who are usually arrogant and domineering are now scared.
On that day, citizens who went to the Citizen Service Center to handle business were surprised to find that these people smiled more often and their voices were much gentler.
At the same time, the Baihe Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government also issued a notice as soon as possible.
On the evening of October 15th, Haizhou Radio and Television's "Questioning Haizhou" program conducted a live broadcast of inquiries into the city's political affairs. Following the program's conclusion, Municipal Party Secretary Cui Zhong immediately convened a meeting to address the issues raised on the program. That evening, Municipal Party Secretary Cui Zhong, along with city leaders Dai Yingdong, Wu Wei, and Kang Pengfei, immediately traveled to Chengxi District and Nanhe County to oversee the implementation of these rectifications. They emphasized the importance of firmly establishing a people-centered development philosophy, taking this opportunity to act immediately, addressing issues promptly, and diligently and compassionately ensuring that all work is carried out to truly safeguard the vital interests of the people.
That evening, the Xiaohewan Village mine in Nanhe County was closed for rectification, and the Commission for Discipline Inspection and other relevant departments have launched an investigation into Wang Ao, the village chief. On the morning of October 16th, Cui Zhong visited the Baihe Tunnel construction site and Nanhe County to inspect issues related to the Baihe Tunnel, waterlogging on Nansan Road in Nanhe County, pollution in the Baihe River, noise nuisance, and dust pollution at the Xiaohewan Village mine. He met with residents face-to-face and explored solutions to each problem on the spot. He emphasized that all relevant departments at all levels must attach great importance to problem rectification, act swiftly, and follow through on their promises to ensure that every problem is rectified as soon as possible. We must learn from past experiences, expand from specific issues to a broader perspective, and identify similar problems across the city, addressing weaknesses and strengthening strengths, to continuously improve people's production and living conditions. We must comprehensively review the implementation of various policies benefiting the people and businesses since this year to ensure their full implementation. We must use accountability to drive significant improvements in work practices, establish and improve long-term mechanisms for resolving conflicts and problems, open up various channels for oversight, and make greater efforts to address the concerns of the people.
Many people scoffed at the notice, believing it was merely a way to flatter Cui Zhong, the Party Secretary of Baihe City. Did Cui Zhong travel to so many places in one night? And how could he go out early in the morning to resolve issues with the people?
How is that possible!
However, this is exactly the case. After watching the show, Cui Zhong was so scared that he couldn't sleep at night.
Before 6 o'clock, he took people from the municipal party committee and government to the scene to solve the problem.
