Chapter 29
"By the way, this is Comrade Xiao Lu's brother-in-law Kong Yue. He was a soldier before and is now a policeman." Sun Juan did not forget to introduce him to them.
No wonder, he stood straight with a determined look, and he immediately attracted their attention, several people thought.
"This is Director Zhang from the County Revolutionary Committee, Director Yang from the commune, Director Zhao from the Women's Federation, and Comrade Wu Ming from the commune." Sun Juan introduced them one by one.
A long list of directors came down, and Lu Qin automatically distinguished them: county heads, town heads, heads of women's federations, and ordinary workers.
Kong Yue stretched out his hand and shook hands with them. He followed behind, looking at them discreetly.
Director Zhang of the County Revolutionary Committee was a thin man in his fifties wearing black-framed glasses. He was dressed in a gray Mao suit with a black fountain pen stuck in his chest pocket and black cloth shoes. He exuded a "simple" air.
Director Yang of Hongqi Commune was even more plain, wearing a blue hat, blue work clothes and black pants, with two subtle patches on his knees.
As for Director Zhao, Lu Qin had some impression of him. They had met once before when he accompanied Comrade Qin Shi to visit Sun Juan.
The one with the best spirit was the young comrade Wu Ming, who was about 1.75 meters tall and had a 3:7 hairstyle that was typical of ordinary intellectuals in that era. However, he gave people an unapproachable feeling. Noticing the gaze, he glanced at Lu Qin lightly.
It was their first meeting, and Lu Qin didn't have time to savor the meaning of that look, because Director Zhang was already standing in front of him.
After shaking hands with Kong Yue, Director Zhang straightened his posture and extended his right hand again. He spoke in a gentle tone, "This is Comrade Xiao Lu, right? I heard from Director Sun that you recognized the human traffickers on the street years ago. You have such judgment at such a young age. It is worth learning from you. If you have any opinions later, please raise them appropriately. Young people's ideas are always worth learning from."
The last time his hand was held so warmly was at his aunt Sun's house.
Look at the language structure; leaders always speak differently than ordinary people. After all the compliments, Lu Qin practically wore humility written all over his face, smiling with his broad white teeth. "Hello, leaders. I'm Lu Qin from the Dongyang Brigade of Hongqi Commune. This is all thanks to our country's education. I still have much to learn from the leaders and the directors, and I must humbly listen to their advice."
His quick response stunned Director Zhang for a second, then his smile grew even more genuine. It was rare for young people to speak so fluently in front of him. "Hahaha, Comrade Xiao Lu's thinking is spot on. Comrades old and new should all make progress together and learn from each other!"
Kong Yue had just 'stepped back to the second line', and Qin Mingzhi had already stood beside him, meeting his gaze and giving him a look that said 'you're a reliable kid'.
Kong Yue: “…” Or, maybe thinking quickly isn’t a bad thing.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Li Li signaling that he was ready, and Qin Mingzhi led them in.
Lu Qin stepped back consciously, a smile still on his lips, when suddenly a voice came from his ear, "Slippery tongue."
He thought he had misheard and turned around to look, only to see Comrade Wu Ming walking past him with a notebook under his arm, his face expressionless.
Lu Qin: "What strange thing happened?"
He looked around, but no one seemed to notice him. Seeing that everyone had already gone in, he took a step forward, then suddenly thought of something, made a victory sign to his brother-in-law, and then followed the group into the house.
Kong Yue: “…” Suddenly he felt that he was unreliable.
Qin Mingzhi took them to a small office where three long tables were put together into one table, on which were placed several enamel cups, including one in the style of Big Red Peony, one in the style of Praise of Red Plum Blossoms, and one in the style of Return of Swallows and Return of Spring Flowers.
Lu Qin thought that it was not easy to get them all together, and if they were put together, they would all bloom and compete with each other for beauty.
None of them showed any disdain; it was all very natural. He was also very natural.
With so many people squeezing in, the space became much smaller, and there was no room left by the door. Lu Qin saw an empty seat in front, but the gap was a little small and he couldn't squeeze through. He opened his mouth to remind Comrade Wu Ming, who seemed to be acting strangely, "Comrade Wu Ming, why don't you move forward a little bit?"
Comrade Wu Ming glanced at him, then looked at his position. This time he said nothing and stepped aside.
Then two young men squeezed onto the same bench, each occupying one end.
Lu Qin looked down at his feet and wondered if the stool would lift up if he stood up now...
After seeing everyone seated, Director Zhang introduced the main topic. "Let's put aside the pleasantries. The purpose of today's meeting is to raise awareness among the public about human traffickers. The abductions and trafficking incidents a few years ago really caused panic among the people. The county has heard that you are organizing a publicity campaign against human traffickers and has taken it very seriously. Of course, if you encounter any difficulties during this time, please let us know and we will definitely provide assistance."
A group of people applauded. Director Zhao said, "Director Zhang, I believe that if we work together, we will definitely be able to make this publicity campaign a success."
"Okay, then let's discuss how to prepare for this promotional event. If you have any ideas, feel free to express them. We'll brainstorm."
Sun Juan took out the notebook she had prepared long ago and said, "In that case, let me talk about this first."
Lu Qin turned his gaze and found that his aunt was really different when she was working. She was wearing a gray work jacket and had short and neat hair. Now she looked like a heroine in a book.
Originally, it was just a joint activity prepared by three departments. Sun Juan didn't expect that the county revolutionary committee would send someone down. She was unsure, but she still had to step forward.
"Last time, through the efforts of our police, we rescued two female comrades, two women, and three children. Women and children are extremely vulnerable groups, so we at the Women's Federation are very eager to contribute. Our current idea is to hold meetings, publicize speeches, or post propaganda posters from top to bottom to draw public attention to this issue and arouse their vigilance. We at the Women's Federation can send some people..."
"As for the content of the promotion, we can slowly confirm it later."
Director Yang of the commune said, "I agree with Director Sun's opinion. We can start with our Hongqi Commune. Comrade Wu Ming from our commune is a high school graduate. He can be responsible for publicity in this area when the time comes."
Lu Qin moved a little and looked sideways at the "nameless" man. He was a high school graduate, no wonder.
When Director Zhang looked over, Wu Ming's face finally showed an expression. There was a slightly unnatural smile at the corner of his lips. He clutched the notebook with both hands and nodded to indicate that he could help.
Finally, Qin Mingzhi commented, "Our police department can also provide corresponding assistance and assist in publicity."
"Okay, then let's finalize the content."
At this time, Director Zhang mentioned his name.
"Comrade Lu, what are your thoughts and opinions? You were able to identify human traffickers before, so you must have your own methods. This part can be added to the content."
His question instantly attracted everyone's attention, especially the person on his right.
Hey! Lu Qin had seen it all, and any help he could offer was the best. "Hello, leaders. I do have an idea. Regarding publicity, I think simply reminding people to be careful of human traffickers isn't enough. We also need to teach them simple techniques to identify them. Even in ordinary life, human traffickers can infiltrate silently."
He spoke in a long string without stopping.
"Oh, what do you say?"
"Human traffickers' deceptive tactics are always hard to guard against. For example, last time, the trafficker pretended to be a lesbian partner. No one would have expected this. They might even persuade the victim to listen to the trafficker. This is what makes the victim most desperate, just as Director Sun said."
When her name was mentioned, Sun Juan gave him an encouraging smile.
"Women and children are vulnerable. Traffickers can easily snatch them away in public by pretending to be their relatives, friends, or partners. That's why I think we should publicize the traffickers' tricks."
"What if they find out and try another trick?" someone next to him suddenly spoke.
After discovering who it was, Lu Qin thought to himself that he was quite quick-witted. He said it casually, "That's fine, then. To prevent the human traffickers from knowing that we've learned about their methods, we'll keep it a secret for them. That way, they won't come up with new tricks."
In front of so many people, Wu Ming's face darkened, "That's not what I meant."
"Comrade Wu Ming, we can't be too cautious. Besides, no matter how they change their tactics, we can always keep up with the times."
"Ahem," Qin Mingzhi cleared his throat.
Lu Qin was about to put his hand on Wu Ming's shoulder, but the cough made him pull back. It had been so long since he had spoken seriously to someone.
"Okay, keep pace with the times, Comrade Xiao Lu said it well."
"Let's discuss the specifics in detail!"
In the middle of the process, Kong Yue came in under the identity of Xiao Li and added hot water several times to make tea.
The first time, the brat was talking nonsense.
The second time, the boy was sitting there, and when I poured him tea, he politely said thank you.
Kong Yue: “…”
Only after receiving Qin Mingzhi's reassurance did he step aside and let Xiao Li come up.
In the end, somehow, the propaganda speech became a "situational performance", and an additional assessment was required, and the results of the assessment would eventually be counted in the commune's year-end assessment results.
Lu Qin single-handedly changed most of the form and content.
Qin Mingzhi was a little dazed.
Half an hour later, they came out of the office one after another.
Director Zhang had something else to do, so he left in a hurry as soon as he came out. Qin Mingzhi went to find Kong Yue with a teacup in his hand.
"Public Security Qin, where are you going?" Lu Qin called out to him with sharp eyes.
Qin Mingzhi paused and said, "I'll go get some more tea."
"Add more tea this way," Lu Qin pointed.
"Oh," Qin Mingzhi calmly turned around and left.
Director Yang, Sun Juan and Director Zhao fell behind, so Lu Qin and Wu Ming had to follow.
"Director Yang, Comrade Lu is from your Hongqi Commune."
Director Yang knew it when he heard his introduction just now. He glanced at Lu Qin and smiled, "Yes, it was me who handed the silk banner to the captain of the Dongyang Brigade last time."
The reason he was able to come to the commune this time was mainly due to Sun Juan's recommendation. At first, he was not very happy about it because there was still a lot of work to do in the commune. He didn't expect that people from the county would come.
"By the way," Director Yang suddenly called Wu Ming over, thinking of his performance just now. "Wu Ming, Lu Qin, you two are of similar age. You must have a lot to discuss when you sit together. I saw that you were having a lot of fun discussing it just now."
Lu Qin stopped and accidentally stepped on Comrade Wu Ming's shoe. "Sorry, Comrade Wu."
