I think he is right. Indeed, I have long told myself not to meddle in other people's business. Why did I worry about others just now?
However, I still have a suspicion in my heart: Maybe someone discovered the matter between Zhu Dan and me after following him, and then deliberately spread the matter to Secretary Chen's ears in order to alienate the relationship between me and him.
Of course, I am just guessing, but I think my guess is still very possible, because I think it is more logical.
In other words, in our place in Shangjiang, there is probably a force that is secretly following Secretary Chen and me. If this is really the case, then its purpose and intention are very obvious. This is why I suddenly felt
Reasons for concern.
I have to be more careful in the future. I said to myself in my heart.
I asked Minister Wu: "How do you think this matter should be handled? I am referring to the rumors."
He said: "Don't pay attention. A person who is upright is not afraid of a slanted shadow. Rumors only stop with the wise. If the organization comes to ask, we will tell the truth."
I said: "How can the organization ask about such a thing? It is not news that today's officials use public funds to treat a meal, not to mention that the person I invited is our partner. I think the person who spread the rumors is
I saw this, so I used this method to ruin my reputation. Moreover, such rumors made it impossible for me to defend myself."
He said: "There are very few leaders who don't have bad things said behind their backs. Whatever. What's more, it's impossible to find out the source of such rumors... Forget it, brother, don't bother with such boring things.
I'm worried about the matter. I'm telling you this to persuade you, and I know you will know about such things sooner or later."
I was silent, and then said after a while: "That's true."
After hanging up the phone, I thought: It shouldn't be difficult to find out the origin of this rumor.
The spread channel of rumors is generally in the market, through people's gossip and then spread slowly. However, there may be many ways for rumors to spread from the source. If it is traditional and spread in the market through the mouths of some people, this method
It will make it easy for those who spread rumors to be exposed. Now that we are in the information age, I think the source of the rumors should be on the Internet. This was the case when brother-in-law Jiang Kui was arrested last time.
I thought I should figure this out, because I really wanted to know who was behind it. I immediately searched online, and sure enough, I soon found a post bar called "Shangjiang Bar"
There was a post about me using public funds to treat guests. And the content described in it was similar to what Minister Wu told me.
There are many comments later.
I looked at it carefully and one by one.
This feeling is very strange and complicated: I am looking at other people's evaluations of me, and some of the words in them are very intense——
"How many of the officials are good people? Which one doesn't do everything from eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling? This person named Feng must not be a good person either!"
"This man named Feng became the executive deputy mayor at a young age. He must have a background. Or he is simply a paid official."
"I heard that Mayor Feng is very capable and incorruptible after all."
"I heard that he used to be a professor in the university."
"What kind of professor? It's just an obstetrics and gynecology doctor. The man is a doctor of obstetrics and gynecology... Maybe his function in that area has long been gone. As for the matter of finding a young lady, I think it's a rumor."
"Using public funds to treat the Japanese to dinner. The whole world knows that the Japanese are lustful. Our taxpayers' money is used to treat the Japanese. Who agrees?"
.......
These comments made me dumbfounded, and at the same time I felt uncomfortable in my heart. It was as if I had been stripped naked for public display. I felt uncomfortable and humiliated at the same time.
I didn’t want to read anymore, so I closed the web page.
At this moment, I feel desolate in my heart: I never imagined that I have done so many things for Shangjiang City, but yet I am being talked about like this by people here.
But I quickly calmed down and went to Mayor Liu's office.
When I entered, he was discussing matters with a director of the department below. I said to Mayor Liu: "Mayor Liu, I want to report to you in a moment."
Mayor Liu immediately said to the director: "You go back first, I will talk to Mayor Feng about something."
The director immediately stood up and left, greeting me respectfully before leaving. At this moment, I strongly doubted that his respect for me was an illusion.
"Please take a seat. Mayor Feng, don't be so polite. We are colleagues and comrades in the trenches. You are always so respectful in front of me. I feel awkward." He made a gesture to me and asked me to sit down.
He made a gesture and then said to me with a smile.
I smiled and said, "You are my leader and you are older than me. I should be like this."
He shook his head, "You, why are you always like this? Work is the same thing, we can still make friends in private. Don't you think so?"
I smiled and nodded, "Of course...Mayor Liu, let me report something to you. It's like this. I personally treated Japan's Kazuo Tanaka to a meal last weekend, and this meal
He also asked me to treat him to the meal..."
Immediately, I told him the ins and outs of the incident, and then told him the general situation during the meal that day, "But Mayor Liu, today I found out that there were rumors about me on the Internet, and when we went to Jiangxi
There are also many people in the city talking about this matter behind their backs. Mayor Liu, I am treating you privately in the name of a friend, and Minister Wu also attended. I can make this matter clear."
He kept frowning while listening, but after I finished speaking, he immediately laughed, "Since I explained it clearly, what are you worried about?"
I said: "Some of these rumors are too much. I think, no matter what the purpose of those spreading rumors is, I should protect my own name, right?"
He looked at me, "You mean you want me to clarify this matter on some occasions. Right?"
I shook my head, "That's not necessary. I hope our city government office can explain the truth of the matter online. We only need the city government office to release the truth. As for what will happen after the release, then
It doesn’t matter. If we don’t tell the citizens anything, it will be equivalent to us and myself acquiescing to this matter. Mayor Liu, this is the fundamental reason why I must report to you and ask for instructions."
He pondered for a moment, and then said: "I think this is what it should be. Okay. I'll ask the general office to do this immediately. It's not good for you to come forward yourself. But Mayor Feng, you don't need to spend money to treat things like this.
Yes, this is official business."
I shook my head and smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, it's a private treat. If I really used public funds, it might be even more troublesome."
He said: "Mayor Feng, you should believe that there is justice in this world. Let others judge everything. Be more courageous in doing things. You are still young and have a long road ahead. Don't be affected by temporary anger.
We have reached our own future.”
I immediately looked at him in astonishment, "Mayor Liu, do you mean to just let this matter go unchecked? Not allow the general office to issue a statement?"
He shook his head and said: "This matter is not only your personal matter, it has also involved the reputation of the government. Therefore, it is necessary for the general office to issue a statement. What I mean is that you personally should not be here anymore.
You are still upset about this matter. You are clear about your conduct as a person and your organization, and your comrades also believe in you. This is enough. Isn’t it?"
I nodded, feeling suddenly moved in my heart.
In fact, I had another idea before this: while the municipal government office issued a statement on the situation, I really wanted to ask Li Qian to investigate the matter in private again. But now, I hesitate.
I was thinking to myself: Am I being too cautious if I did that?
No, this is not being petty, this is knowing yourself and your enemy. I will not tell anyone else about this matter, even if I find out who posted it.
Thinking of this, I finally made up my mind.
Yes, I don't care about anyone, but I can't be a fool. At least I can know who my enemy is through this incident. No, it's not an enemy, it's an opponent.
I left Mayor Liu's office and immediately returned to my own office. About half an hour later, the Secretary-General of the Municipal Government Office called me, "Mayor Feng, are you in the office?"
I immediately couldn’t laugh or cry, “Isn’t it my office landline you were calling?”
He hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I was confused. Mayor Liu told me about your situation, and I want to ask about the situation in detail so that I can draft a statement of the situation."
I said calmly: "Isn't it right for you to ask me about this matter? You should ask Minister Wu of the United Front Work Department, don't you think so?"
His voice suddenly became stuttering, "I, I, I'll go find Minister Wu right away. I'm sorry, Mayor Feng, for disturbing me."
I secretly wondered: Why is he so nervous? Am I that scary?
I think the Chief of Staff is far behind Li Wenwu. How could he come to me for something like this? What I need is the testimony of others.
Very low level, I don’t even understand the basics. I thought angrily in my heart. (To be continued)
