Absolute power in officialdom

Chapter 70 Indecent Video, Someone Shoots at Me in the Dark

Xu Youwei looked at Wang Haitao and said sincerely, "Comrade Haitao, you have taken care of your paralyzed ex-wife for six years without ever leaving her side. This sense of responsibility and commitment is real and truly admirable."

Later, under certain circumstances, they remarried and agreed to take care of each other's ex-wives.

In retrospect, it did indeed safeguard his ex-wife's quality of life, a fact that I believe Minister Lang and his family can attest to.

Then, he said to Lang Yuanyuan, "As an older sister, Minister Lang's concern and care for her younger sister is a natural human emotion and can be completely understood."

We healthy people may never fully empathize with the mental world and emotional needs of a loved one lying in a hospital bed.

Minister Lang's concerns and dissatisfaction stem from his deep love for his younger sister, a sentiment we must respect.

Then, Xu Youwei changed the subject: "Even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes. As the Party Secretary of your family, I will not act as a referee regarding your specific circumstances."

But I hope that both of you can be more understanding and communicate more.

Ultimately, the goal is for loved ones lying in bed to feel at ease and comfortable.

If you encounter any specific difficulties, whether in your personal life or at work, you can report them through organizational channels, and the organization will provide assistance to the best of its ability within the scope of policy.

Seeing this, Zhou Ming quickly tried to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, it's good that we've talked it out!"

"Secretary Xu, dinner's ready! Today, Old Zhou has brought out his best culinary skills!"

Old Zhou prepared a table full of dishes, all of which looked and smelled delicious. He truly deserves to be called a family chef who has devoted himself to the study of cooking.

The stir-fried bullfrogs have a fragrant aroma and a bright red color;

The steamed sea bass is perfectly preserved and has a wonderful aroma.

Boiled shrimp have bright red shells and plump meat;

The braised chicken pieces are simmered in a rich sauce, the pork rib soup is stewed until the broth is milky white, and there are also refreshing dishes like stir-fried lotus root with snow peas and sesame sauce lettuce...

Lang Yuanyuan took out a bottle of Moutai liquor and said to Xu Youwei with a smile, "Secretary Xu, I'm happy today, have some of this."

"Don't worry, this isn't a gift from anyone. It's a present from my son, who works in Beijing, to his father for his birthday last year."

Xu Youwei laughed and said, "That's too kind of you. This wine is a token of our son's filial piety. We'll drink it, so please don't feel bad about it, Lao Zhou!"

Zhou Ming smiled and waved his hand: "Secretary Xu, you're too kind. Good wine tastes even better when shared with distinguished guests! It's an honor for our family that you could come."

Lang Yuanyuan smiled and chimed in, "That's right, Old Zhou usually treasures this wine, but he only took it out today because Secretary Xu came."

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, the atmosphere at the table became even more lively.

Seizing the opportunity, Ye Xiaoman picked up her teacup and said to Xu Youwei in a graceful manner, "Secretary Xu, I would like to offer you a toast with tea instead of wine."

"By the way, I'd like to ask for a leave of absence for Secretary Wu Zhiyuan. Is that alright?"

Xu Youwei asked with great interest, "Oh? What kind of leave does Reporter Ye want to ask for for Zhiyuan?"

Ye Xiaoman smiled and said, "Secretary Xu, it's like this, I've always wanted to do an in-depth interview at Qinglong Mountain Forest Farm."

Secretary Wu has worked there before and is familiar with the situation. I've talked to him about it a few times, but he's too busy to get away.

I just wanted to use half a day of his weekend; I wonder if Secretary Xu could grant him half a day off?

Xu Youwei laughed heartily: "Reporter Ye, you've come to the wrong person!"

Weekends are Zhiyuan's rest time; he's free to come and go as he pleases. As long as he's willing, how can I, the Party Secretary, stop young people from socializing?

Ye Xiaoman's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said happily, "Thank you, Secretary Xu! I feel relieved to hear that!"

She turned to Wu Zhiyuan, her eyes filled with expectation: "Secretary Wu, will you be able to make time this weekend?"

Wu Zhiyuan responded with a smile: "If Reporter Ye needs anything, I will do my best to cooperate as long as the work schedule allows."

Lang Yuanyuan, standing to the side, said meaningfully, "Secretary Xu, you see, it's a good thing for young people to have common ground and communicate more."

Xiaoman is a very dedicated worker, but sometimes she works too hard. With a reliable colleague like Secretary Wu by her side, we feel at ease.

Just then, Lin Keke called.

Wu Zhiyuan glanced at the caller ID, went to the balcony to answer the phone, and Lin Keke's anxious voice immediately came through: "Zhiyuan! There are indecent videos of Secretary Xu online, do you know?"

Wu Zhiyuan was shocked: "What website?!"

Lin Keke said, "There's also a local forum in the chat group. I'll send it to you."

The video isn't very clear, but the man's profile in it bears a resemblance to Secretary Xu. There are many online trolls stirring up trouble, making veiled accusations, and the target is very obvious.

Wu Zhiyuan immediately realized that someone was spreading rumors and slandering him.

Based on his observation, Xu Youwei was not that kind of person.

Moreover, Xu Youwei lived in the city's armed police detachment camp, which was inaccessible to ordinary people.

Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly hung up the phone and opened the video. At first glance, the man did look somewhat like Xu Youwei, but upon closer inspection, it was not. However, the accompanying sensational headlines and comments, such as "Suspected new top official of Longcheng" and "Hypocritical lecherous official," were extremely deceptive and damaging.

He returned to the dining table and whispered a few words to Xu Youwei.

Xu Youwei got up and went to the balcony.

Wu Zhiyuan explained the situation and forwarded the video to Xu Youwei.

Xu Youwei examined it carefully for a moment, then snorted coldly: "A clumsy frame-up! This isn't me at all!"

It seems someone has become desperate and resorted to such underhanded tactics as personal attacks and political defamation!

Wu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice, "Secretary Xu, this is clearly slander and defamation. It must be dealt with immediately and decisively to curb its spread and eliminate its impact!"

At this moment, Lang Yuanyuan also came in and asked with concern, "Secretary Xu, what happened?"

Xu Youwei briefly explained the situation and showed the video to Lang Yuanyuan.

Lang Yuanyuan was furious when she saw this and said, "This is not you at all! How dare you use such methods to slander the municipal party secretary!"

Secretary Xu, don't worry, I'll have the Cyberspace Administration handle this!

The director of the Municipal Cyberspace Administration Office is concurrently the deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee's Publicity Department, and is Lang Yuanyuan's direct subordinate.

Lang Yuanyuan immediately called the director of the Municipal Cyberspace Administration Office, explained the situation, and then instructed: "Immediately activate the emergency response mechanism! First, delete all posts on the entire network. All related videos, posts, and screenshots must be cleaned up as soon as they are discovered, and their continued dissemination must not be allowed."

Second, trace the source and identify the person responsible, allowing cyber police to track the origin of the information and find out who was behind it.

Third, be prepared to debunk rumors; if necessary, release authoritative information through official channels to set the record straight!

After making the arrangements, Lang Yuanyuan said to Xu Youwei, "Secretary Xu, although this kind of rumor is low-level, it spreads quickly and is very harmful."

We must extinguish this as quickly as possible, while also considering that this may only be part of a series of attacks, and there may be other moves to follow.
