As soon as Tang Ye's character report was published in the provincial newspaper, it immediately caused a huge sensation in Jiangdong. She used skillful and skillful news writing techniques to vividly reproduce the glorious image of a party member and cadre who was not afraid of hardships and risked his life in the face of severe floods and waterlogging disasters. There were no gorgeous words or artificial exaggeration, but simple and plain yet affectionate words, which vividly portrayed Wen Huaiming's perseverance, decisiveness, resourcefulness and optimism.
The report uses a lot of pictures as the background, including the sky covered by dark clouds, the raging flood, the people rushing to and fro on the dam, and the faces that are either young or old, firm or heavy. The concise and steady text description makes it look tragic and majestic when you read it slowly. What is particularly eye-catching is the picture of Wen Huaiming carrying a sandbag and leading a group of silent soldiers to separate the bewildered crowd and resolutely walk to the end of the dam. In front of him is the vast waters with endless waves crashing on the shore, and the ground under his feet is muddy and bumpy. Tang Ye wrote next to it: "... Another big flood peak hits, and the water hits the dam body. The whole person can feel the terrifying tremor. Almost everyone is afraid of the flood, but Wen Huaiming bends down and carries a sandbag full of gravel, shouting "Follow me", and runs to the most dangerous pipe burst without hesitation... At that moment, his back is as heavy as a mountain..."
Then, Tang Ye, under the instruction of the main leaders of the provincial newspaper, published three more reports in a row, which introduced in great detail the flood fighting and rescue experience of Longtougou Reservoir in Shishan Town, Yishan County, Qingzhou City. These four reports were detailed, emotional, full of characters, profound, and prominent. At a time when many places in Jiangdong suffered huge losses of life and property, they had a strong positive significance and excellent social effect, thus triggering a wave of public opinion again. Under the active coordination and guidance of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, the Propaganda Department, the Organization Department and other relevant departments, on January 1, in addition to the mainstream media in Jiangdong Province and cities forwarding the reports, more than a dozen other provincial daily newspapers, evening newspapers and party and government newspapers also forwarded them. On January 4, the People's Daily commissioned Jiangdong Daily to publish an article on the front page in the name of a special commentator titled "Looking at the "Three Talks" in Major Natural Disasters", extending from the Longtougou Reservoir, and focusing on the outstanding performance of the entire Qingzhou leadership team in this flood fighting work, it elaborated on the necessity and urgency of carrying out the "Three Talks" activities. On the same day, central media such as Xinhua News Agency, China Youth Daily, Guangming Daily, Liberation Army Daily, CCTV, and China National Radio forwarded the commentator's article.
Longtougou, Yishan, Qingzhou, Wen Huaiming, became famous overnight!
In such an atmosphere, the news media was like a group of cats in heat that went crazy when they smelled something fishy. From the central government to local governments, from outside the province to within the province, everyone showed their magical powers and rushed to the front line of Longtougou, looking for organizations, building relationships, asking acquaintances, and interviewing many people involved in the reservoir rescue. From all angles, aspects, and perspectives, they conducted in-depth research on Wen Huaiming, the core figure who triggered all the waves. Not to mention party and government officials like Yang Dingjun and Li Qiang, even ordinary people who were on the dam at the time gradually got used to the days of dozens of reporters coming to interview them every day. Among them, the most eloquent farmer in Shishan Town, Old Suntou, was so tired of buying Dongyan cigarettes at 1.5 yuan a pack that he would occasionally talk about the grand occasion with people many years later.
With these omnipresent reporters, the glorious deeds of handling the grain case and state reform in the past were also dug out. After joint reports by media from many places, a more plump and tall Wen Huaiming appeared before the world. It is said that in less than three days, the Qingzhou Municipal Party Committee Office received thousands of letters of condolence from all over the country, including letters from young women with their own photos proposing to Wen Huaiming, which became one of the few warm embellishments in this cold winter.
Being in the center of the whirlpool of public opinion, Wen Huaiming wanted to lead a team to the grassroots to preside over the post-disaster reconstruction work, but Yu Peidong personally ordered him to cooperate with the provincial propaganda strategy and do a good job in receiving interviews from various domestic media, and repeatedly emphasized that this was a political task, leaving him no way out. On this day, he finally got away to inspect Xicheng District, but was called back by Xu Fuyan. When he entered the secretary's office, Wen Huaiming said with a bitter face: "Secretary Xu, if you force me to meet with reporters again, I will go home to grow sweet potatoes..."
Given their current relationship, joking around was harmless. Xu Fuyan laughed and said, "You can't grow sweet potatoes, but you can grow sesame seeds."
"Oh," Wen Huaiming's heart skipped a beat. Although he guessed something, he couldn't show it, so he asked, "What happened?"
It was naturally a good thing that he came to see Wen Huaiming at this time of year. Coincidentally, Zheng Qihang, the secretary-general of the municipal party committee, accidentally fell on his way home from get off work the day before yesterday. As he was old, his leg bones were not in good condition, and he was usually weak and sickly. He broke his leg directly in the fall and was sent to the hospital overnight.
Zheng Qihang was originally a transitional secretary-general. Xu Fuyan asked him to take over Yang Guangsheng's job in order to free up a year to pave the way for Wen Huaiming. Originally, the medical retirement procedures were not to be processed until next year, but he happened to be injured at this time. Zheng Qihang was a smart man. For him, being able to get the treatment of a deputy director before retirement was a bargain. Retiring early or late was the same, so it was better to sell a favor to Wen Huaiming so that he could ask for help when he had any difficulties in the future. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Wen Huaiming had unlimited prospects. So he took this opportunity to report his retirement to the city. After Xu Fuyan reported it to the province, the provincial party committee's organization department decided to agree to remove Zheng Qihang from the position of secretary-general of the Qingzhou Municipal Party Committee. As for the successor, there was almost no suspense. Yu Peidong personally named Wen Huaiming, and no one could say no.
"I'll let you know first. The official appointment will be made in two days!" Xu Fuyan said with emotion: "Old Wen, this time it's really thanks to you. If you hadn't raised the flood control level against all odds and done such a great thing in Yishan, Qingzhou might have fallen more than other cities this time, let alone excelled. Yesterday, I went to the provincial meeting. Minister Zhou and Secretary Yu scolded the top leaders of each city, but praised Qingzhou by name... This rain, I still feel scared when I think about it now. We have just established a firm foothold and we really can't afford to fall..."
Hearing such heartfelt words from Xu Fuyan's mouth, it can be seen how scared he was of this dangerous crossing. Wen Huaiming said in amazement: "I just did my job. It's really too much to publicize it to this extent!"
Xu Fuyan smiled slightly and said, "The difficulty for our party cadres lies in doing their duties..."
He didn't say what to say next, so Wen Huaiming naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to ask. It was just a tacit understanding. He changed the subject and said, "Secretary Xu, I still want to go to the grassroots..."
Xu Fuyan interrupted him and said, "Going down is work, and staying in the city to accept interviews is also work. In comparison, the latter is much more important. Huai Ming, just go and deal with those reporters with peace of mind, and leave the rest to other comrades."
How many people could an unknown and ordinary official like Wen Huaiming save? It was just one family, one surname, one village, and one town! But Wen Huaiming, a well-known model official, could attract attention and power from all over the country, guide public opinion, and inspire the people, which played an extremely huge role in promoting the post-disaster reconstruction work of the entire Jiangdong area.
Wen Huaiming understood this truth very well, but what he feared was the old saying that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. He had become too famous this time, and there were countless people who were jealous of him. If he did not restrain himself, the protruding rafters would rot first, and he would fall to his death in the clouds before he could even get on the road to fame.
But Xu Fuyan's next sentence was to reassure him, meaning that you should just stay in the city and leave the rest of the work to others. With so many media reporters here, anyone willing to work can find a shining point. When the time comes, just write one or two articles and everyone will benefit from it. If you continue to work hard at this time, will you let others live
It has to be said that the older you get, the wiser you are. Wen Huaiming understood what he meant and went out.
From director to deputy director, and also held the title of member of the municipal party committee standing committee, Wen Huaiming has been in officialdom for more than ten years. He never expected that he would complete a journey that others would take ten years to complete in just half a year.
For Wen Huaiming, who had just been promoted to the rank of director a few days ago, this promotion was an exception, but it was not a special case. Every official who could eventually climb to a high position would have received two or three exceptions. However, others generally had a good father, but he had a good son.
Two days later, Wen Huaiming was appointed as the Standing Committee Member and Secretary General of Qingzhou Municipal Party Committee, and officially joined the ranks of municipal leaders. When Wen Liang received the news, he was meeting with An Baoqing and Ye Zhiwei at the Great World. After hanging up the phone, An Baoqing asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Secretary-General Wen's title of deputy has finally been removed."
An Ye and Wen Liang congratulated him at the same time. Wen Liang thanked him with a smile, but he was thinking of Tang Ye in his heart. If it weren't for her this time, perhaps the title of deputy might not have been so easy to get.
Dingsheng Industry's act of helping in times of crisis naturally did not escape the media's attention. After several media reported on it, the Qingzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government specially issued a commendation. Wen Liang recruited Ye Zhiwei back for this very reason. After some secret operations, with the introduction of Wen Huaiming, Xu Fuyan took time out of his busy schedule to meet with Ye Zhiwei, the general manager of Dingsheng Industry.
Ye Zhiwei was wearing a gray Mao suit, had a well-behaved manner and spoke respectfully, which made Xu Fuyan have a good initial impression of him. After a conversation, Xu Fuyan highly praised him and his company for their selfless contributions to the people of Qingzhou, and expressed his personal wish to welcome Dingsheng's vigorous development in Qingzhou.
This is great news for any company. In addition to expressing his gratitude, Ye Zhiwei proposed to further support Yishan's post-disaster reconstruction work and was prepared to invest 500 million yuan to build a five-star hotel in the local area. He also solemnly promised that the hotel's bidding and recruitment would give priority to local people, but it just needed some policy support from the city and county governments.
This was Wen Liang's intention. It was the right time to ask Xu Fuyan. Whether it was in the name of post-disaster reconstruction or in the name of attracting investment, Wen Liang was sure that Xu Fuyan would not refuse.
First, economic development is the top priority at the moment; second, the heavy rain has severely damaged Yishan’s infrastructure; third, the 500 million yuan investment will have a great impact on local people’s livelihood. In the long run, this project will greatly promote the development of Yishan in the next ten years, and can radiate to surrounding districts and counties, thereby driving the development of the entire county economy.
Xu Fuyan immediately made the decision and appointed Wen Huaiming to coordinate the negotiations between Dingsheng and Yishan County Party Committee and County Government, and strive to reach an agreement on the terms as soon as possible. At the same time, he issued a clear order to all municipal departments to give the green light and actively cooperate without making things difficult or delaying.
After obtaining the imperial sword, Ye Zhiwei rushed to Yishan immediately. Yang Yixing and Yang Dingjun were originally from Wen Liang's side. The secretary and the county magistrate were of the same tone. With the guidance of the municipal party committee, the opposition voices were quickly suppressed. The resolution on attracting investment was passed at the Standing Committee meeting, and it was determined that the county magistrate Yang Dingjun would be in charge. The cooperation negotiations with Dingsheng officially began.
At this point, the continuous torrential rain finally stopped, the long-lost blue sky showed a bright smile, and post-disaster reconstruction work in various places was carried out smoothly and orderly. Everything seemed to be gradually returning to its previous state, or recovering better than before.
When the pain passed and the haze dissipated, people only knew about a heavy rain and a disaster, but no one knew that behind the heavy rain and the disaster, there was a young man who, with his own strength, reversed the doomed situation, saved the lives of many people, and saved the careers of many people.
On January 7, all primary and secondary schools in the city reopened. As a good student, Wen Liang naturally could not be late. He limped into the school gate early in the morning. Just after passing the office building, he was caught by Ning Xiaoning who was guarding the side of the path. Coach Ning was wearing a sky blue down jacket, his hands in the pockets of his jeans, leaning against the railing beside the path, his long hair tied into a ponytail, his tall figure standing out like a crane among chickens. When he saw Wen Liang, he didn't say anything, but just gave him a cold look. Poor Uncle Wen immediately moved over obediently.
"Good morning, coach. It's so cold, why bother you to come and greet me? I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it!"
"Virtue!"
Ning Xiaoning had no way to deal with this scoundrel, so she rolled her eyes at him and said, "Come with me!"
The two of them went to the basketball court next to the playground, one after the other. There was still shallow water on the ground, witnessing the thrilling nights in the past. Ning Xiaoning turned her back to Wen Liang and suddenly said, "Xu Yao is crying!"
Wen Liang was surprised and asked, "What happened to her?"
Ning Xiaoning turned around abruptly, stared into Wen Liang's eyes, and said, "What happened to her? Now you only ask what happened to her? Is she okay or not? Ask yourself, why are you always the last one to know?"
Wen Liang was silent for a moment, then whispered, "What happened to her?"
(Ask for the New Year's Eve party program, only Uncle Wen's three are fine)
(Also continue to ask for monthly votes. I will work hard to update, and everyone should work hard to vote. If I really can't make it into the top 100, I will cry for you to see...) (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian. to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.) (To be continued)
