"Secretary, I am mainly responsible for this matter. The government did not give enough warning to relevant departments. In the face of sensitive events that may cause public opinion, everyone's response is too slow."

Zhou Jingfang said with a heavy face.

"Hey, mayor, how can I blame you for this?"

Han Xianzhong waved his hand and said comfortingly, "If you hadn't given timely instructions yesterday and asked the people below to take action immediately, the situation we are facing now would only be worse."

Secretary Han’s statement was agreed by all members of the Standing Committee.

Indeed, as soon as the online blog was posted yesterday, Mayor Jingfang immediately recognized the seriousness of the problem.

She immediately gave instructions and asked various government departments to coordinate and solve the problem.

In the end, the work of the government departments was considered effective.

They promptly punished the owner of Shanyuan BBQ Restaurant, helped the tourist Mr. Zhao recover the money he had been ripped off, and gained his forgiveness.

This series of actions successfully restored part of the city government's reputation.

From this perspective, Mayor Jingfang not only has no responsibility, but her instructions are even more decisive.

As for the current public opinion, it actually has little to do with her and the government's handling of it.

The main reason why the situation intensified was that the barbecue restaurant was too dark and ripped off customers too harshly, which resonated with everyone.

In addition, the propaganda work on the Yellow Sea side has not kept up, which has also played some negative effects.

"Comrade Jingui~ What were you busy with last night?"

Han Xianzhong's eyes fell on Hu Jingui.

Seeing this scene, the other members of the Standing Committee showed a trace of pity in their eyes.

Everyone here is well-informed and of course they know what happened last night.

On the government side, Vice Mayor Dong Fanghao and Director of the General Office Xu Jiangfeng have been trying to contact Hu Jingui, the Propaganda Minister.

But for the whole night, I couldn't get in touch.

No matter how many excuses Minister Hu has, this is unforgivable.

Secretary Han called his name now, which is what he meant.

Although I had been mentally prepared, I knew that Secretary Han would definitely call his name in the conference room today.

But when he was actually called upon, Hu Jingui still felt a little uneasy.

He coughed and responded according to the words he had already thought of: "Secretary, last night I was drafting an article, which was requested by the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee. I happened to have my mobile phone in the bedroom, and I didn't hear it~"

Hu Jingui's words are obviously an excuse.

But as long as there is such an excuse, it is enough.

In the officialdom, even if everyone has a dispute, they will not completely break up.

What's more, no one can prove that the reason he mentioned does not exist.

Of course Han Xianzhong would not expose him, but criticism was inevitable.

"The phone is not with you?"

Han Xianzhong's sharp eyes were directed at Hu Jingui, "Comrade Jingui, let me ask you, if today is not an incident of tourists being slaughtered, but a natural disaster. You, the propaganda minister, do not have your mobile phone with you and do not receive the call. Do you know how much damage it will cause?"

Impact?"

"Yes, secretary~"

Hu Jingui knew that he could no longer distinguish at this time and could only admit his mistakes.

He said sincerely: "It was my mistake that I didn't receive a call yesterday. As soon as I got to work this morning and learned about the customer rip-off incident in Shibei District, I immediately asked the people below to take action. Just now, we publicized

The ministry is still communicating with several major portals..."

Hu Jingui's correct apology still achieved some results.

Han Xianzhong also knew that it was not easy to blame all of this on him.

After hitting Hu Jingui a few more times, Han Xianzhong turned to another topic.

"Regarding this incident, everyone will share their opinions and analysis."

After Han Xianzhong spoke, Executive Vice Mayor Tan Shuliang was the first to speak.

"Secretary, I personally think that the nature of this incident is very bad and it must be dealt with strictly."

Tan Shuliang explained, "Repeated offenders are repeatedly punished, which shows that our law enforcement agencies are not strong enough. A plate of 'sky-high-priced prawns' may not necessarily damage the tourism image of our Yellow Sea, but we do not care about these minor problems."

, will bury more serious troubles."

Tan Shuliang came by air from Dengzhou City and has not yet taken a stand in the Standing Committee.

Just because he is the executive deputy mayor, his attitude is closer to Mayor Jingfang on many things.

His speech can also be regarded as a kind of protection for the heads of several departments under the government.

The person who spoke next was Ma Xuebin, Secretary of the Shinan District Party Committee.

"I mostly agree with Mayor Tan's opinion. Not only Shanyuan BBQ Restaurant, but also leaders of relevant departments such as tourism, catering, and public security must deal with it seriously."

Looking up at Vice Mayor Tan, Ma Xuebin continued, "The only thing I don't agree with is that this 'sky-high-priced prawns' incident has already had a considerable impact on our tourism industry in Huanghai City, and it can no longer be considered a small matter."

Sick."

After Ma Xuebin said these words, the members of the Standing Committee felt a little heavy.

Indeed, in the past month or so, the successful holding of Jiaonan City’s “Seaside Music Festival” has boosted the tourism industry in the entire Huanghai City.

It’s just August, and August to October is the golden season for travel.

After such an incident, many people who want to travel to Huanghai City are likely to be discouraged.

The comment with the most likes on the Internet illustrates this point.

Shinan District and Shinan District have always been competitors.

The two main urban areas are often very different from each other.

As the secretary of the Shinan District Party Committee, Ma Xuebin naturally does not have much favorable impressions of Shinan District.

Something happened in Shibei District this time, which affected the entire tourism industry in Huanghai City. Ma Xuebin's anger cannot be regarded as an excuse.

Vice Mayor Xu Anping was equally angry.

Among the tasks he is responsible for is the tertiary industry.

Although tourism does not account for a particularly high proportion in the tertiary industry, it is still essential.

Originally, according to the trend of the city's tourism boom in the past two months, Xu Anping was even thinking about how many points the tertiary industry could contribute to the city's GDP growth throughout the year.

But now that this has happened, the city's tourism industry will definitely be hit.

The only uncertainty is how big the blow will be.

"I agree with Secretary Xuebin's opinion!"

Xu Anping frowned and said, "The cadres who failed to fulfill their duties in this incident must be dealt with seriously! Is this the reason for leaving get off work?"

Xu Anping was talking about the relevant personnel of the Market Supervision Bureau and the Price Bureau.

In his opinion, if the people from these two departments could rush to the scene as soon as possible after receiving the report call, there might not be a lot of subsequent troubles.

The Standing Committee finally reached a consensus on how to deal with cadres, and several relevant departments were notified of criticism.

Although the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee escaped unscathed, Hu Jingui himself was under a lot of pressure.
