At twelve o 'clock in the evening, it was already deep into the night.
Mayor Ding Yunsong, who lived on the top floor of a staff apartment in the municipal government office in central Songhai city, was wearing a nightgown as he studied a foreign language with a blonde foreign lolita. At that moment, however, he suddenly received an urgent call.
Mayor Ding was clearly a little unhappy that his mood had been disturbed. When he picked up the phone, his tone was gloomy. "Who is this?"
The person on the other end of the line only said three words: "Song Qingshu."
As soon as he heard these three words, Mayor Ding suddenly shuddered, and he immediately perked up and smiled obsequiously. "So it's Mr Song … Mr Song, why are you looking for me so late at night?"
"Mayor Ding, you already know about what happened on Weibo, right? That Wang Situ's wife was groped by someone, and the whole city is in an uproar. "Song Qingshu didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
Ding Yunsong nodded in all apparent seriousness. "Mm … of course I know about this!"
What he actually didn't know was that he was still busy learning a foreign language at this time, and had no time to pay attention to what was going on on Weibo.
"The person who groped her is one of my little brothers. He drank two bottles of erguotou that day, and his mind was a little muddled. It was actually all a misunderstanding, "Song Qingshu said.
"I understand what Mr Song means, but there has to be a process for dealing with the aftermath …"
Song Qingshu nodded. "I also understand what you mean. Within half an hour after this call, three million yuan will be transferred to your foreign account, and you'll be responsible for dealing with the aftermath. As for Wang Situ's family, you'll also have to pay them to keep their mouths shut. This will prevent them from spouting nonsense. "
Both of them were experienced people, and with just a few words, they immediately understood the meaning of this call. As the mayor of Songhai city, Ding Yunsong addressed Song Qingshu as Mr Song. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the stakes in this. Ding Yunsong was well aware that if Mo Immortal Castle hadn't supported him back then … He wouldn't even have had the chance to sit in this position.
Ding Yunsong was silent for a while, and finally nodded. "Don't worry, Mr. Song. By midnight, I guarantee that the popularity of this Weibo post will no longer appear in the eyes of the public …"
After the short call, Ding Yunsong made a few more calls. The CEO of Weibo, the technical department manager of the municipal government office … Ding Yunsong called everyone who was related to this matter and could suppress the influence of public opinion one by one to express his "condolences".
It was not Ding Yunsong's first time controlling the power of public opinion.
The first time he did it, he didn't know who to look for, but now he was familiar with it.
After making dozens of calls in a row, Ding Yunsong stretched and looked at his watch. It was already two in the morning …
The little foreign loli in lace suspenders was already asleep.
At this moment, Ding Yunsong had lost all interest …
"Let's rest early tonight!"
Ding Yunsong sighed and gently walked to the little loli's side and tucked her in.
Just as he was about to kiss the little loli's forehead, his goddamn phone rang again.
This time, Ding Yunsong was really a little impatient … Damn it, can't you just let me study my foreign language properly?!
Mayor Ding picked up the phone angrily. "I'm Ding Yunsong! It's already so late … can't you report it tomorrow?! "
On the other end of the line, the girl operator with the pleasant voice also looked helpless after being scolded. "Mayor Ding, don't be angry … this is the Discipline Inspection Department."
"The Discipline Inspection Department? Then hurry up and put it through … "
For some reason, Ding Yunsong had a bad premonition in his heart.
The officer from the Discipline Inspection Department only said a few words, and Ding Yunsong's drowsiness instantly disappeared, and his face turned pale.
"The higher-ups have instructed us to thoroughly investigate the case of Internet guru Wang Situ in order to make an example out of him? This … this is just a web novelist, is there a need to take it so seriously? "
"Yes, Mayor Ding. Do you think I sound like I'm joking? You haven't seen Weibo, have you? The highest cultivation court and the Cultivation Procuratorate have already made it clear that they will legislate specifically against the bad behavior of groping in society. The higher-ups have expressed that they will pay serious attention to this matter. "
Ding Yunsong couldn't stop cold sweat from flowing down his face.
The higher-ups? Which higher-ups? Which higher-ups could trigger the highest cultivation court and the Cultivation Procuratorate? Legislation was such a big matter … and it was decided just like that. This was clearly such a small matter … how could it cause such a big wave?
Ding Yunsong listened to the phone, a little dazed.
From this call from the Discipline Inspection Department, Ding Yunsong already knew that this matter was no longer something he could control. Song Qingshu had indeed found him, but it was obvious that the other party was also looking for someone, and had found a big shot that he couldn't shake.
At that moment, Ding Yunsong felt like he had to suffer in silence. He didn't even dare to hang up the phone, because he was almost certain that the higher-ups of the other departments were already in a mess! They were waiting for his latest instructions! Because the instructions issued by the higher-ups and the phone call he had made earlier were two completely different things!
Licking his dry lips, Ding Yunsong's forehead was already dripping with sweat …
Less than ten seconds after the call from the Discipline Inspection Department ended, Ding Yunsong's phone rang again …
This time, Ding Yunsong took a look at the caller ID and was so scared that he almost peed his pants … it was actually Secretary Sha, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee!
As soon as he picked up the call, he heard a magnetic and serious voice on the other end of the line, just as he had expected.
"Comrade Ding Yunsong, what kind of mayor are you? Did you ask you to suppress public opinion? The higher-ups haven't given any instructions yet, but you're already one step ahead of them? Did you accept someone else's red packet to do something? Comrade Ding Yunsong, I solemnly warn you, don't think about stirring up trouble all day … have you watched that TV series In the Name of Cultivation? I think that the mayor who slipped out of the country in the first two episodes is a lot like you! "
Ding Yunsong was already too scared to speak. "…"
"Whether or not you can keep your position as mayor depends entirely on your attitude towards this matter, understand?"
Speaking up to this point, Secretary Sha's voice suddenly sank a lot. "This matter … the old leader is very angry! He got up in the middle of the night and flew into a rage! He said that the atmosphere in our Songhai city is so chaotic that we can't even hear the voices of the people. He wants to thoroughly investigate the corrupt practices of city officials. Next week, fellow cultivators from the central cultivation anti-corruption inspection team will come to our city for an inspection. "
Hearing this, Ding Yunsong trembled all over. "Excuse me, Secretary Sha … which old leader is this?"
"Mayor Ding, are you playing dumb with me? You should have already guessed it, right? The Ten Founding Generals were all his students; which old leader do you think he is? "
