The next day.
Friday morning.
It's only 6 am.
Dong Xuebing woke up early and washed up on the second floor. After that, he hummed a tune as he walked downstairs. He went to the kitchen to treat himself and cooked a delicious breakfast. He fried sausages, bread, an egg, and a bowl of red date porridge. It's a mixed meal, but since it's for himself, there's no need to be so picky. It's a combination of Chinese and Western food.
Breakfast is ready.
Dong Xuebing carried the breakfast out of the kitchen and sat at the dining table. It's about time, and he switched on the TV. It's Jiaolin County's morning news.
"Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the morning news." The host appeared on the TV.
Dong Xuebing took a big bite of the bread with the sausages and egg in it as he watched the TV.
They are only a County TV station, and they don't pay attention to details like a big TV station. They only go straight to the point. "Yesterday, a scandal broke on the internet and attracted the attention of the Provincial Government. It's about the new County Party Committee Compound. Our reporters found out the people are discussing this incident, and there are many controversies. The focus of the controversy is the construction cost of the three Counties in Baohong City. Many people are questioning why the money should be spent here. If the money is used to increase the welfare of the residents, it should be more meaningful than building a family quarters or a County Party Committee Compound. Last night, we had the honor of interviewing the County's Party Secretary, Dong Xuebing."
The scene flashed.
Dong Xuebing appeared on the screen.
Dong Xuebing was still in the Terrace House, and only his back can be seen on the screen.
The reporter and cameraman walked over. "Secretary Dong, nice to meet you. I'm from the County TV station. What are your views on the new County Party Committee Compound?"
"My views?" That's why we must demolish it. As the County's Party Secretary, I want to apologize to the County's people. Of course, this is not something that can be resolved with just an apology. In a few days, the County will introduce some policies regarding the welfare of the people. I hope all of you can wait and see. This batch of leaders will use our actions to show everyone our determination to eradicate corruption and … "Dong Xuebing looked at the camera and continued." Our County's leaders had discussed this matter, and I had ordered the relevant departments to demolish the new County's Party Building on Wednesday. It had been razed to the ground a long time ago. Hmmm … this is my opinion, and I have the same opinion as the people. Although I had only been in office for a few days, I had heard everyone's comments and opinions. This type of building is unreasonable, and it is a waste of money. There is no need to build it, and that's why it must be demolished.
Dong Xuebing said a lot of things without stopping.
In fact, it wasn't that the leader spoke slowly. Those who could do this couldn't be too bad at expressing themselves. At the very least, they couldn't be a stutterer. The main reason why they acted like this was because they were afraid of saying something wrong. Because of their rank and status, every word and action represented a lot of things. This couldn't be said wrongly. If a word was wrong, it would give people a different meaning. It could even cause a certain degree of social impact. This was a political issue, so they couldn't be careless. Hence, everyone spoke slowly and carefully. This was almost the norm.
But Dong Xuebing is different. Dong Xuebing is eloquent, and he does not need to worry about saying the wrong words. He did not even stutter once and said everything in one breath. It's like he had prepared his speech in advance. When everyone saw this news, they felt this new Party Secretary is different. Just his confidence and sincerity make the people like him.
After that, the camera changed.
It became a reporter interviewing some people.
A reporter's voice appeared on the screen. "Hello, Sister. What are your thoughts on the County Government's decision to demolish the new County Party Committee Compound?"
It's a middle-aged woman with a child in her arms. She looked nervous when she saw the camera. "Huh? I don't know. I think it should be demolished."
Reporter: "You think it should be demolished?"
"That's right." The woman replied with her child in her arms.
"What else do you think?" The reporter continued. "Do you agree with the County Government's decision?"
The woman replied. "Didn't the County Government change leaders? The new Party Secretary Dong is not the one who suggested building the new County Party Committee Compound in the past. I think Secretary Dong is very popular with the people. Furthermore, it's not his fault. When he arrived, the County Government's decision was already completed. The County Government's decision is not wrong. "
After that, the woman left with her child.
The camera changed again, and the reporter interviewed a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man heard this and got excited. He looked at the camera and said. "Of course, we must demolish it. If it was demolished after the Provincial Government reported it, there will be a problem. But now, the County had decided to demolish it one day in advance. Before the news was out, the new County Party Committee Compound was flattened. This shows Party Secretary Dong is right and has foresight. He also cares about the people and knows what they need. Previously, at Qing 'e Mountain, it was also Party Secretary Dong who went to the frontline to save people in the rain. I had seen the news, and I am impressed. From these small incidents, I can see how much Secretary Dong cares about the people. I am very confident of our County now, and I believe that under Secretary Dong's leadership, our County's economy and other developments will reach new heights. "
At home.
Dong Xuebing was amused and thought to himself. This person really knows how to talk. What a good speech! What a good speech!
On the other side, the television station's image returned to the studio. The female host said, "We've seen it too. Our station's reporters interviewed many of the residents yesterday and the answers they got were almost the same. The commoners feel that the county's decision was correct. Of course, it's not a waste to lose a large courtyard that cost hundreds of millions of dollars. But after interviewing many of the residents, we feel that we can't simply look at it from the perspective of a waste. At least what I saw … is the county's determination and attitude. I think the commoners also feel this, which is why they gave such answers. No one has any doubts about the county. Instead, the county's decision has given them more and more trust and confidence."
Below, there were a few other people who were interviewed.
For example, Zhang Dongfang. Mayor Zhang does not have any credit for this incident, and that's why he is careful with his words. "This demolition is suggested by Secretary Dong, and it is the decision of our County's leaders."
Meng Hanmei also said. "We all support Secretary Dong's decision. I think what Secretary Dong said is right. At first, many of us felt it is too painful to demolish the County's Party Committee Compound. But Secretary Dong told us." The people want us to demolish this place, and we will demolish it. We don't need to say anything. We cannot let the people have any doubts about our County Government. Then we will work in the townhouses. Even if there are no townhouses? Then we will set up tents and work in the open. But without the people's trust, even if we work in those luxurious villas floating in space, it will be meaningless. "This is what Secretary Dong said. I don't know what others think, but I am touched by what he said." As Meng Hanmei is from Dong Xuebing's faction, Meng Hanmei is more 'eloquent' than Zhang Dongfang and his men. Dong Xuebing nodded.
Dong Xuebing nodded. He had said these things yesterday, but he had forgotten most of them. Dong Xuebing's words came out of his mouth and did not use his brain. He was born with the ability to express himself. Now, after hearing Meng Hanmei's words through the camera, Dong Xuebing felt he had said the right thing and was touched by his own words.
Dong Xuebing had spoken to Publicity Department Head Sun Zhangzhi yesterday. This is to give the people an explanation, and Dong Xuebing did not use Sun Zhangzhi's suggestion. He felt it is too ordinary and weak. Dong Xuebing had grown up in Beijing and had been influenced by the media there. That's why he decided to imitate the Beijing media's usual method of interviewing the people and leaders. This method will be more realistic and will be more convincing than the host. Also, it is not difficult to do this. He will interview ten people, and even if some of them have different opinions, he can just cut them off and not broadcast them.
It is simple, realistic, and convincing.
The workload might be higher, but not by much.
Dong Xuebing is satisfied with the news and felt his strategy had worked. Compared to those boring explanations, this method of using interviews and the host's summary will be more touching.
This is the public opinion.
Once Dong Xuebing controls this place, he will have the biggest advantage.
Of course, Dong Xuebing is really concerned about the people and does not feel this is a trick. His words and actions are from the bottom of his heart.
