Chapter Twelve: Provincial Party Committee Writers
() The Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee is located in the Provincial Party Committee Building No. 2, which is an L-shaped five-story building. Secretary-General Gao sent a car to take him from Principal Jin’s office to the No. 2 Building and drop him off. The driver and the car went back on their own.
It was Wang Xiaobo's first time to come to the Provincial Party Committee compound, and he felt nervous and fresh. He looked around and saw tall pines and cypresses surrounding the building, and the holly trees on both sides of the road were neatly cut into red, yellow, and green colors.
Dotted with flowers and plants, it looks so quiet and profound. Occasionally, a few people pass by, all with serious expressions and walking in a hurry, as if everyone is shouldering a heavy burden and is extremely busy.
Wang Xiaobo had a really busy day yesterday and didn't return to the dormitory until after twelve o'clock in the evening. He got up in a hurry at about five o'clock in the morning and ran to Xiaomei's rental house. Before she went out, he explained a few words and made an appointment in the evening.
The discussion continued at the Bayi Karaoke Hall. Although it was almost ten o'clock, he still yawned twice in succession while standing in front of the L-shaped building of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee.
Wang Xiaobo walked around the first floor, but couldn't find the corresponding office, and no one paid attention to him. He ran to the second floor and saw someone nailing a sign at the door of the office. He saw that the sign was for the Truth Standards Propaganda Office.
, I thought it was probably here, so I opened the door and went in. Inside was a large office that resembled a conference room. In the middle was a long table, which was already filled with miscellaneous newspapers and books. There were eight boxes surrounding the long table.
Four people were already sitting at the desk.
"Excuse me, is this the Truth Standard Propaganda Office?" After Wang Xiaobo entered, he saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he asked without knowing what to say.
A young woman with a single braid like Li Tiemei raised her head and looked at him: "Who are you looking for? Oh, from the logistics department, just in time. Bring me a bottle of red ink and paper clips."
Wang Xiaobo saw that she was no more than twenty-four or five years old, with a slender figure, fair skin, and a pretty face, especially her slightly upward-turned red lips, as if she was about to kiss someone from time to time. He couldn't help but want to joke with her.
: "Ah! The Propaganda Department also needs to change its homework?"
"Ha, ha." The other three laughed and raised their heads to look at him.
When Wang Xiaobo looked at these three people, he almost laughed out loud. These three people are all in their fifties, all bald, and they are all bald from the middle to the outside. What is even more ridiculous is that they all wear reading glasses.
Moreover, these three pairs of glasses are exactly the same gray tortoise shell glasses. If you don't identify them carefully, you really can't tell them apart from each other.
The young woman rolled her eyes at him, waved her hand and said, "Go, go, don't you know what department this is? It's up to you to talk nonsense."
"Who is talking nonsense?" As he spoke, Propaganda Minister Chen Yuanzhang ran in with Li Jianfeng and another man in his thirties.
"Hello, Minister Chen." Wang Xiaobo took a step forward and said hello respectfully.
"Oh, Xiao Wang is already here." Minister Chen shook hands with him, and then said: "The two comrades from the Japanese newspaper will not come until the afternoon, and the others are all here. Come, let me introduce you to them."
He patted the thirty-year-old man on the shoulder: "Comrade Xia Qing, the director of the Third Division is also the deputy director of our office, responsible for daily work; Li Jianfeng, Wang Xiaobo, college students from ABC University; Guo Lin, deputy director of the Third Division of the Propaganda Department
The chief clerk is the only lesbian in our office; this is also Su Baolin, the chief of the News Inspection Section of the Three Divisions; these two are Professor Wang and Professor Zhang of the Provincial Party School. Let’s get to know each other and work together in the future.
Be united and tense, be serious and lively, and strive for greater results."
After Minister Chen's introduction, everyone shook hands with each other. Wang Xiaobo also took the initiative to extend his hand to the young woman named Guo Lin, and whispered: "I'm sorry, I was joking with you." Guo Lin rolled her eyes at him, feeling embarrassed.
Di and Wang Xiaobo touched hands and quickly withdrew.
"Okay, now I'll leave it to Director Xia. Comrade Xia Qing, I hope you will live up to the expectations of the Provincial Party Committee and make the propaganda work of the truth standards sound and impressive." Minister Chen left after speaking.
Here Xia Qing invited everyone to sit down around the long table. Guo Lin quickly made a cup of tea and brought it to Xia Qing and asked: "Director, what level is this office? Are you the chief or the deputy director?"
"What level? Don't be surprised. Deputy Secretary Jiang of the Provincial Party Committee personally serves as the director. Minister Chen, Secretary-General Gao and I also serve as deputy directors. What level do you think it is?" Xia Qing gave her a complicated look.
Wang Xiaobo suddenly found that Xia Chu's gaze was like a glimmer of light, which suddenly emerged from the hazy and lovely dark night when no one was prepared. It was half love and half lust. He didn't know why he felt this way, helplessly
Shaked his head.
"Okay." Xia Qing waved her hand and continued: "Today we will have a short meeting first. According to Secretary Jiang's instructions, starting from tomorrow for a whole week, we will carry out intensive publicity of the truth standard in the "Southern Mass Daily" to build momentum.
It must be big, the viewpoint must be novel, based on the viewpoint of Marxist dialectical materialism, and fully publicizing practice is the only criterion for testing truth. But after all, we represent the provincial party committee, and the writing style must be correct. I want to start from now until eight o'clock in the evening
Let’s take out two manuscripts first, with a word count of about 3,000 words, and ask the newspaper to give us half a page. Let’s see what other opinions you have. Oh, Lao Su, you are an old comrade of the Propaganda Department, you go ahead.
Tell me."
"I think we should determine the themes of the two articles first so that we can be more targeted." Su Baolin thought for a while and said.
Xia Qing nodded and said, "Professor Wang and Professor Zhang are experts. What are your opinions?"
"If we establish the theme from a materialistic point of view, I consider that firstly, we can establish the theme from the perspective that matter is the first thing; secondly, we can use the fact that matter is moving and changing to prove that the truth is not prophetic." Professor Wang started from philosophy.
Viewpoints present their own opinions.
"Well, I think it works. Just these two themes, I will assign them to Professor Wang, Professor Zhang and Section Chief Su, and the two college students and Xiao Guo will be in a team. How about everyone, hurry up." Xia Qing began.
Assignments.
"Director, who is the leader of these two groups?" Guo Lin can't forget the rank. She wants Director Xia to put her in a group with two college students. She must be the leader of this group. She is so high.
A team leader under a higher-level office must be at least a junior major or above.
"That's right. There has to be someone who writes the paper. You are responsible for that group, Section Chief Su, and the second group -" Director Xia looked at Li Jianfeng, as if asking for his opinion. Secretary Jiang had already told him when he talked to him early in the morning.
The son of the secretary of the provincial party committee came here to gain political capital before he graduated from college. He naturally understood Secretary Jiang's intention of bringing him in. He had to make full use of this rare opportunity to further his official career.
Li Jianfeng smiled and said magnanimously: "Chief Guo is an old comrade, so of course we will listen to her."
Wang Xiaobo also said with a smile: "Male and female, if the work is not tiring, just listen to the woman."
"Okay, okay, you two team leaders will draft an outline first and hand it over to me before lunch. Okay, hurry up and let the meeting end." After Xia Qing finished speaking, she said something to Li Jianfeng and went back to his office.
Guo Lin got her wish and became the leader of the second group, and immediately exercised her authority and held a group meeting.
"Comrades, today is the first meeting of our group. First of all, let me make three points: First, we are a provincial party committee agency and a serious place. We cannot smile or joke around during working hours; second, we must go to work every morning from now on.
Then we will hold a group meeting, and I will arrange the work arrangements for the day; third, we will discuss the outline of today's article. Everyone can speak freely and don't be restricted." After Guo Lin set the theme of the meeting as the host of the meeting, she
The task was given to them.
Wang Xiaobo couldn't hold back his laughter, thinking that Guo Lin was really a fan of officials. These words were clearly meant for him to listen to, but he wanted to say "everyone" and "comrades", as if there were many people sitting in the audience.
He was listening to her report. Moreover, he came up with one, two, three, and gave him a slap on the wrist. How could he be willing to suffer a loss, so he said respectfully: "Comrade team leader, I am an intern at ABC University. I have something to do with it."
I don’t understand this standard of truth, and I would like to ask the team leader for help.”
When Li Jianfeng heard this, he knew that this "ghost" brother was going to be a "ghost" again, and hurriedly cooperated: "Yes, team leader, what is the standard of truth?"
Guo Lin was stunned. She only ran errands in the Propaganda Department, passed newspapers, and distributed documents. To be precise, it was Director Xia's vase. This morning, Director Xia mysteriously called her to the office and said that there was a
It was a great opportunity to go to the Standard of Truth Office, and maybe she could be promoted from a minor to a full major. She didn’t even ask what the Standard of Truth was, so she came happily. Unexpectedly, these two college students didn’t understand it better than she did.
What should we do? She rolled her eyes and thought: "Is this true that there are standards? Ah, you don't even understand this? Oh, Chief Su, come and teach them a lesson."
"This truth, of course, has standards, and that is the viewpoint of Marxist materialism." Section Chief Su was also called by the minister early in the morning and asked him to come to the Truth Standards Office to check and tell him some specific situations.
Of course he knew that one was the son of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary, and the other was the author of the popular article in the "People's Daily" and was the real protagonist of this office. Seeing these two co-authors teasing Guo Lin, he wanted to laugh but couldn't.
If I dare to laugh, I will tell you the title of Wang Xiaobo's article, which means that I know who you are, so I will sell you well and not criticize you.
Of course Wang Xiaobo understood Section Chief Su's intention, and nodded gratefully to him and said: "Oh, it turns out to be materialism. Isn't it that matter determines spirit? I have learned this before. Team leader, do you think this will work? Let's divide the work. I
When it comes to writing the middle part, Jianfeng is responsible for the conclusion. The first one to two hundred words are the hardest to grasp, so the team leader has to work hard."
"Yes, yes, the front is about the situation. We college students do not have as thorough a understanding of the current situation as you, the provincial party committee cadres, and it is not easy to grasp. The team leader is a cadre of the Propaganda Department, and he is in this industry, so he must know better than us.
." Li Jianfeng followed suit.
Two classmates, Wang and Li, were vying to give Guo Lin a high hat. Guo Lin felt that being the team leader would give her a good face. She thought that she had written about this situation before during a major criticism, and it was no problem to write about a hundred words. So she said: "Okay.
, let me start, who made me the team leader,"
The group meeting ended successfully, and Wang Xiaobo and Li Jianfeng no longer had the intention to joke and immersed themselves in writing. He discussed the process of practicing the recognition of truth from the perspective that matter is the first element and consciousness is the second element. Due to the hard study some time ago, this article is not
It was done in two hours. Li Jianfeng took a look at it, made some modifications and finally finalized the draft. In fact, it didn't matter whether it was done or not, they were just joking with Guo Lin.
At this time, Guo Lin hurriedly flipped through many newspapers and finally wrote the beginning of a hundred or so words. Wang Xiaobo almost laughed when he saw it. The first sentence he saw was: "The east wind blows, the war drums beat. International and domestic
The situation is very good, not a small good..."
"Gao, there are some in Gaojiazhuang!" Wang Xiaobo smiled and gave a thumbs up.
Li Jianfeng couldn't hold back his laughter and hurriedly ran out to use the restroom. Section Chief Su also came over. When he saw it, he wanted to laugh, but he held it back. His old face had turned red and tears were about to flow out. He pretended to wipe his glasses and walked away.
Already.
After a while, Section Chief Su called Wang Xiaobo outside. It turned out that the two professors over there were from the generation of "listen to the *** and follow the ***", and they still had lingering fears about that special era and did not dare to let go.
The courage is just to swallow the water and stop at the point. Section Chief Su has the minister to explain, so of course he is not satisfied with such an article, and it is difficult to refute the two professors face to face, so he can only call Wang Xiaobo out and ask him to do it for him.
When Wang Xiaobo read the article, it was based on the Marxist materialist point of view that "the material world is in eternal movement, change and development", explaining that truth is produced in movement, change and development, and any foresight of truth is idealistic.
, but did not dare to combine the "two whatevers" to develop it. Wang Xiaobo also made some modifications, so that on the first day of the establishment of the office, the two articles were completed in one morning.
Su Baolin took the two manuscripts to Director Xia's office, and came back happily after a while and shouted loudly: "I want to tell you some good news. Director Xia is basically satisfied with our manuscripts and is very enthusiastic about our work."
He expressed praise and hopes that we will continue to work hard and reach higher levels."
"Oh, Section Chief Su, did Xia Chu make any changes to the article I wrote?" Guo Lin asked nervously.
"No change, no change. It has been sent to Secretary Jiang for signature." Su Baolin couldn't help laughing and replied with a smile. In fact, he didn't send the part she wrote at all, so he only said that Xia Chu had not changed it. As for the
He didn't know whether Secretary Jiang would change it or not.
"I think so. Writing about situations is my strong point." Guo Lin's face was full of pride. She smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits, and her eyes flew to the left and then to the right through the slits. At this time, she felt like that
Sweet and proud.
"Ha ha--"
"hehe--"
Everyone couldn't help it anymore, they laughed together and left in a hurry.
During Wang Xiaobo's half-day in the Propaganda Department, he held two small meetings and summed up the second experience in his official career: Meetings are the battlefield for officials to gallop, and they are also the place for leaders to show their power. Therefore, leaders of all sizes have
