Chapter fifty-seven reporters flood

Liu Zhenhua has a good impression of Zhang Heng. He thinks he is an upright person, so he will conduct a just trial of this case. It’s good to blame the good people and not let bad people go. However, Liu Zhenhua forgot that many upright people will be forced to do things that lack justice under formal pressure.

The next morning, Liu Zhenhua was woken up by a phone call early in the morning. Zhang Heng called after receiving the call. Zhang Heng, who was polite yesterday, suddenly scolded Liu Zhenhua like he had taken gun medicine today, and it was unquestionable that Liu Zhenhua could arrive at the unit as fast as possible.

After arriving at the unit, Zhang Heng and Guo Hongsheng were already waiting in the office. As soon as they met, Zhang Heng said in a stern tone: "Mayor Liu, have you read today's report?"

Since Liu Zhenhua has not been asleep for two days and a night, he returned to the dormitory last night and fell asleep. He had no time to watch TV until dawn. At this time, when he heard Zhang Heng's questioning, Liu Zhenhua shook his head honestly: "What's wrong if I didn't watch it?"

Zhang Heng sighed, threw a newspaper in front of Liu Zhenhua, pointed to the newspaper, and said lightly: "You can read it yourself."

Liu Zhenhua picked up the newspaper with a little doubt. When he opened the newspaper, a huge page title came into his eyes. He instinctively read it: "A major accident occurred at the Wubei Town construction site, three dead and five injured, and local officials concealed it and did not report it." Under the title, there was a report full of pictures and texts.

When seeing this title, Liu Zhenhua shook his head helplessly. Today's reporters add fuel to the fire. The skill of distorting facts is first-class. It has always been their policy of doing things. Demonizing this accident this time is their style.

Liu Zhenhua threw the newspaper on the table and said helplessly: "These reporters are too unscrupulous. How many days have this happened? Yesterday I was busy dealing with the funeral and had no time to report it."

Guo Hongsheng stood beside Zhang Heng with a gloating look on his face, while Zhang Heng waved his hand to signal Liu Zhenhua to shut up. He said, "Don't worry about the reporters' grievances. This matter has been reported. We must deal with it seriously and give the public an explanation. Tell me, what should I do?"

Although Liu Zhenhua is inseparable from this matter, the direct responsibility is not on him. However, when he heard Zhang Heng's words, he completely wanted Liu Zhenhua to take the blame. Therefore, Liu Zhenhua's tone was no longer polite and said immediately: "It seems that this matter is not the final word of my opinion? How to deal with it is your business, do you need to ask me?"

When Zhang Heng heard this, he became angry: "Liu Zhenhua, what is your attitude? I called you here today just to discuss with you. Is it difficult for me to know about your attitude?"

Liu Zhenhua turned his face and said angrily: "What's my attitude? I said I have a responsibility for this matter, and I will deal with it as much as I should. At worst, I can be transferred away. What's wrong? Depending on what you mean, do you want me to be fully responsible for this matter?"

Zhang Heng was not a good person, and snorted coldly: "What? Shouldn't you be responsible for this?"

Liu Zhenhua said coldly: "What matters are you? I should be responsible for some things, and I cannot be responsible for some things. I don't want to be a sucker. If you let me take responsibility for everything, please give me a suitable reason."

Zhang Heng glanced at Liu Zhenhua and said with a bad expression: "Do you want a reason? Well, I'll give you a reason. Yesterday, Deputy Mayor Guo and I visited the families of the victims from one house. They said that each family of the victims, you gave 100,000 yuan, called the aftermath fee, but in fact, the town government did not approve this fiscal expenditure at all. Where did this money come from? Is it a aftermath fee or a hush fee? The financial problems of your town have made me doubt. In addition to financial issues, as far as I know, the company that contracts the road construction project seems to be the company of your acquaintance? This period is inevitably involved in the issue of abuse of power and harming public and self-interest."

"Ha, I think so much about the town, but when I come to you, it has become selfish behavior." Liu Zhenhua smiled self-deprecatingly, not wanting to explain too much to him, and said immediately: "If you have any questions, you can check it out carefully. I can't explain it to you here, and I can't make any explanation."

Zhang Heng has worked in the Discipline Inspection Commission for so many years, and no official dared to talk to him like this. For a moment, he was unbalanced and his attitude became tough: "No need to say, I will investigate it carefully. Not only will this accident be investigated, but I will also investigate your financial problems. I am not afraid to tell you that I have called the county, and they will send people from the Finance Bureau tomorrow. If you have a clear conscience, of course I am not afraid of investigating it."

“Let’s check.”

Liu Zhenhua threw this sentence away and ignored Zhang Heng and Guo Hongsheng and turned around and left. In fact, Liu Zhenhua knew that Zhang Heng was a good person. The reason why he changed so much was that he was bewitched by Guo Hongsheng. After all, nothing could withstand the erosion of rumors.

As soon as Liu Zhenhua left the office, his cell phone rang. It was Qiu Hong who called: "Hey, Lao Qiu, what's the matter?"

Qiu Hong on the other end of the phone seemed a little nervous: "Brother Hua, things are a little bad. Yesterday when I returned to the construction site, I heard from the workers that two strangers were wandering around our construction site on the night of the accident. The workers went up to ask, and the two ran away. As a result, there were sporadic reporters who arrived at our construction site yesterday morning. I was afraid that things would make a big deal, so I sent them away. Unexpectedly, a large number of reporters flocked to us this morning, and now they can't stop it."

"No need to stop them, let them report casually and report as much as possible. You can say whatever they want to ask, and don't hide it. We are not afraid of being rude in our bodies. There is no need to shrink, otherwise we will feel guilty."

Originally, Liu Zhenhua was wondering why the reporter reported a lot of reports and mainly focused on negative problems. After receiving Qiu Hong's call, Liu Zhenhua figured it out. It must have been driven away by Qiu Hong when he went to the construction site yesterday. As a result, the reporter was grudged and reported the matter with great fuel. Now the reporter is flocking to the crowd. If Liu Zhenhua handles it improperly, he may be pushed to the forefront by public opinion and is in a completely passive situation. After all, he has seen the power of public opinion.

After Liu Zhenhua hung up the phone, he originally wanted to go back to the dormitory, but as soon as he walked to the door of the unit, he was blocked by two people. These two men were one in their twenties and the other was in their early thirties. The young one was about 1.78 meters tall, wearing a suit and eyes, with a gentle and gentle appearance, holding a microphone in his hand. The older one was wearing ordinary casual clothes and carrying a camera on his shoulders. It was obvious that these two men were reporters.

Although Liu Zhenhua didn't care about the reporter's interview at the construction site, Liu Zhenhua was still a little upset when he was blocked by the reporter. Looking at the young man in front of him, Liu Zhenhua said in a bad tone: "Don't you reporters know that you cannot come to the government agency for interview without notice or permission?"

The young man pushed his glasses and smiled apologetically: "You are Mayor Liu, right? I have read your resume, and I am about the same age as me. It took only one year to transfer from the Finance Bureau to work in the town government office, and I am also the mayor. I am really a role model for our generation. Thinking that we are a generation, can you give me a chance to conduct a one-on-one interview with you?"

Liu Zhenhua still has some understanding of the reporter's temperament. The reporter has always been above his pride, but the reporter in front of him speaks very casually, which makes Liu Zhenhua a little interested: "You just worked as a reporter not long ago, right?"

The young man nodded and said honestly: "To be honest, this is my first time out on the outing site. If you gave me this opportunity, I will definitely be grateful."

Originally, Liu Zhenhua didn't want to pay attention to him, but Heshen said to him: "Zhenhua, what you lack now is a platform for communication with the outside world. You need to tell the outside world the facts. Perhaps what you said may not be true in the eyes of the outside world, but at least you have to clarify in person. The skill of the scene is still indispensable."

After Heshen’s reminder, Liu Zhenhua reluctantly accepted an interview with the young man: “What’s your name?”

The young man smiled indifferently: "My surname is Wang, and my single name is Lei."

Liu Zhenhua has no impression of Wang Lei. He should be an ordinary intern reporter who has just graduated and entered the TV station. Therefore, Liu Zhenhua is not too wary. He invited Wang Lei to an idle council room in the unit for an exclusive interview. After all, interviewing at the door of the unit is unreasonable and the impact is not very good.

After Liu Zhenhua sat down, he nodded to Wang Lei and signaled that the interview could begin. Wang Lei first asked his companions to turn on the camera, then put the microphone close to Liu Zhenhua's mouth and asked: "Mayor Liu, according to rumors from outside, this accident caused three deaths and five injuries. All the victims were workers on site construction. Could you please ask if it is true?"

Liu Zhenhua said without comment: "It is completely true that these workers are local workers I hired with a lot of money."

Wang Lei asked again: "What is the cause of this major accident?"

Liu Zhenhua shook his head and said, "It was initially concluded that the brake of the large cargo transporting cement failed, hitting the mixer truck and overturning. The specific reason is still under investigation and confirmation."

Wang Lei nodded and continued to ask: "Some newspaper reports, you have concealed or not reported this matter. How do you explain it?"

Liu Zhenhua replied without hesitation: "It's not that I don't report it, but that I don't have time to report it."

"You said you didn't have time to report. Did you mean that you participated in the rescue in person, and then waited for the suffering workers in the hospital, and condolences to your family?"

"How did you know?"
