Qi Shaoqun's tone was a little bad, and he said in a deep voice: "Weiming, why are you making such a big noise in Dongtai?"

Sun Weiming smiled faintly, thinking that the speed of spreading news on the Internet was indeed very fast. Many people in the province might know about it. He said, "I don't know where the news came from. It became popular for no apparent reason."

"Tsk tsk..." Qi Shaoqun smacked his lips, "You are still kept in the dark. A disaster is approaching you."

Sun Weiming raised his eyebrows and asked vigilantly: "What's going on? Please explain it clearly."

Sun Weiming has been so confused by all the news that he has lost his usual vigilance and alertness. Qi Shaoqun said in a deep voice, "You are the official who dares to tell the truth. Your reputation is too loud. It is said that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has received many letters of complaint from you, complaining about your illegal activities in Dongtai. Therefore, some leaders suspect that you deliberately posted some posts on the Internet in order to package yourself..."

Sun Weiming sensed something was wrong and said with a wry smile, "It's really unfair. How could I be so bored as to hype myself up?"

Qi Shaoqun sighed and said, "Hurry up and use the power of the Propaganda Department to delete all the news on the Internet..."

Sun Weiming felt a chill in his heart, and suddenly realized something. He felt a sweetness in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"What's wrong with you?" Qi Shaoqun asked, hearing that something was wrong with Sun Weiming.

"It's okay, I'll handle it right away. Please rest assured that I will resolve this matter properly." Sun Weiming tried his best to control his body and forced himself to finish the call with Qi Shaoqun.

However, as soon as he hung up the phone, he lay weakly on the desk, and did not wake up until dozens of minutes later. If a person is angry, it is indeed possible to hurt the body. After Sun Weiming found out that he was framed, he was shocked and angry, which led to the situation just now.

Everything was like a pipe dream, which turned into a bubble.

Sun Weiming gradually came to consciousness. Qi Shaoqun's phone call was like ice water that made him fall from a high altitude.

The post that looked like positive publicity actually harbored sinister intentions. It seemed to be praising his own achievements in Dongtai, but in fact it aroused the envy of many people.

People have conspiracy theories in their subconscious, including Qi Shaoqun and even Chief Wen, who may think that the post was promoted by themselves. In the minds of Qi Shaoqun and Secretary Wen, Sun Weiming has become a person with a strong utilitarianism who will never give up until he achieves his goal.

Even if Qi Shaoqun and Secretary Wen did not think so, they would probably be questioned by others.

As Sun Weiming expected, after another two or three hours, the direction of public opinion began to change. On the one hand, the number of posts about "the official who dares to tell the truth" was decreasing, and on the other hand, some doubts about Sun Weiming gradually surfaced.

"What a bunch of shameless people!" Sun Weiming slammed the table angrily and said in frustration.

He suddenly had a premonition that he might fall into a low point because of this public opinion storm manipulated by the person behind the scenes, and his originally bright future would suffer a severe setback.

A secretaries' meeting was being held in the municipal party secretary's office, with Xiao Futing, Zhang Guoxin, Qiu Hengde and others sitting in a circle.

Xiao Futing sighed and said, "Regarding the matter of Comrade Sun Weiming, Secretary of the Dongtai County Party Committee, what is the current situation?"

Huang Jiansheng, the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Minister, reported in a deep voice: "Since the afternoon, many posts have been deleted, but other news appeared in the evening, saying that the county party secretary who dared to speak the truth the most was a propaganda card deliberately put up by Sun Weiming to enhance his own reputation."

Xiao Futing coughed and said, "I don't think Sun Weiming is necessarily motivated by selfish motives. Think about the 'Four-Nothing County Mayor' a few months ago. Wasn't it to enhance the influence of the local government?"

Zhang Guoxin frowned and said, "Secretary Xiao, you may not be very clear about Xing Jike's "four no" county chief. Someone was maliciously plotting against Xing Jike, but the Dongtai government responded quickly and fought a beautiful crisis public relations battle to reverse the government's image. The two events cannot be confused as one."

Xiao Futing looked unhappy. Qiu Hengde coughed and said, "Secretary Xiao, I think this matter cannot be taken lightly. The document to change Dongtai from a county to a city will be issued soon. If Sun Weiming is appointed as the secretary of the municipal party committee, I am afraid it will have a bad impact."

After hearing this, Xiao Futing's face turned extremely gloomy. He knew that he didn't have much to do in the current situation. The matter of Sun Weiming posed a huge problem for him.

Qiu Hengde continued: "Now it's time for crisis public relations. I think in order to reduce the impact, the position of the Dongtai County Party Committee Secretary should be readjusted!"

Zhang Guoxin nodded, silently expressing his agreement, putting pressure on Xiao Futing.

Xiao Futing glanced at the others. The situation was critical. At this time, the secretary knocked on the door and whispered something in Xiao Futing's ear. Xiao Futing remained calm and whispered, "Okay, Dongtai does need to make some adjustments before it changes from a county to a city."

It's not that I don't want to help Sun Weiming, but the current situation does not allow me to be partial. The secretary has been paying attention to the changes in public opinion and the attitude of the provincial party committee. I just got the information that the provincial party committee office is preparing to issue a document to deal seriously with the excessive hype of the county party secretary in Dongtai County. If I continue to insist at this moment, it will inevitably be too irrational.

Chapter 0439: Some are happy, some are sad

In September, the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department issued a list of county-level cadres to be trained, including Sun Weiming, who was to be trained for a year. The Organization Department usually convenes such training courses to promote cadres. But for Sun Weiming, the meaning was different, as if he was trying to lure a tiger away from the mountain.

The document on Dongtai's transformation from a county to a city is about to be issued. At this critical moment, I, the head of the county party committee, have been arranged to study at the provincial party school. Doesn't this feel like sitting on the bench

Of course, Sun Weiming knew that this was the best outcome for the current situation. The previous incident of "the county party secretary who dares to speak the truth most" was too big. Although there were positive comments at the beginning, later on, many people began to question that Sun Weiming was putting on a show and deliberately using the power of public opinion to package himself.

Subsequently, a large amount of negative information about Sun Weiming while in office suddenly appeared on the Internet, such as openly keeping a mistress and being seriously involved in organized crime. Although this information had no factual basis, it attracted great attention and heated discussion from netizens.

Everyone has a dark side in their heart. When a person who was originally on the moral high ground is found to have shortcomings, these shortcomings will be infinitely magnified.

Sun Weiming was sitting in the office smoking silently. There was a knock on the door and Zou Yu walked in from outside. She didn't look very good either. The news spread quickly and she realized that there was a problem with her backer. She was a little hesitant and at a loss.

Sun Weiming has been the county party secretary in Dongtai for two years. His network of connections has spread to every corner of the county. Now that he has problems, it will naturally cause panic among the people.

Zou Yu sat on the sofa, silent for a moment, and said: "Old Sun, you are going to the Provincial Party School for further studies, you won't ignore the news from Dongtai, right?"

Sun Weiming's mouth curled up with bitterness, and he sighed: "I don't want to do this either. I'm afraid that I will be unable to do it when the time comes. After all, we are so far away, and I can't come back every time."

Zou Yu reminded in a low voice: "Have you ever thought about choosing a spokesperson?"

Sun Weiming stared at Zou Yu carefully, tapped his fingers on the table, and said in a deep voice: "I haven't thought about it yet. Do you have any good candidates?" He could understand Zou Yu's psychology. This was a woman who relied on herself to move up. If she left Dongtai, she would definitely lose her sense of security, so she began to look for a big tree suitable for her to live in advance.

Women are realistic and ruthless.

Zou Yu paused for a few seconds and said calmly, "What do you think of Zhu Zengzhi?"

Sun Weiming nodded with a calm expression on his face and said, "Old Zhu is a very steady person. He has worked diligently in the organization department for many years. If I go to the provincial party school for further studies, it would be a good choice for him to be my spokesperson."
