Chapter 830: Please Give Me Three Days!
Returned from visiting a patient at the hospital.
Tang Ye first took a shower, then turned on the television to watch the news for a while.
Around ten o'clock, a call came in from Xing Zhijun.
His tone carried a hint of urgency.
"County Magistrate Tang, I need to report something to you—just received news that the village where Zhang Tao is located was attacked by a group of unidentified individuals, and many villagers were injured. Now the villagers are all gathering toward the mining area."
Li Zhewen was attacked first.
Then the villagers were attacked.
This was clearly someone inciting conflict between two groups!
"I understand. You hurry to control the scene; I suspect someone is deliberately creating conflict.
On one hand, you must protect the staff of the Provincial Geological Team well;
On the other hand, you must not have further conflicts with the villagers."
Not long after Tang Ye hung up the phone.
The cell phone rang again.
This time it was Ma Ran calling.
"County Magistrate Tang, I just saw a piece of news online; it seems someone is deliberately spreading rumors, saying that our Dayu County Government, in order to mine the Fluorite Mine, condoned staff in destroying the local people's ancestral graves. Immediately after, they also said we instigated social elements to enter the village to retaliate against the common people, and even splashed feces and urine."
Bad news one after another!
The people lurking in the shadows had finally begun to act.
Yet Tang Ye appeared exceptionally steady and calm.
"You keep a close watch on the trends online; I will call Secretary Ou to report the current situation."
The internet is a platform full of variables.
One must respond quickly.
Tang Ye is in charge of the emergency management department, so this is within his scope of duty.
He must race against time and take responsibility!
……
"Secretary Ou, the Jushi Mountain mine incident is fermenting; unidentified individuals attacked the village and framed the government for it. Now the internet is full of curses!"
"With so much news spreading like wildfire, it will certainly damage the government's image. This matter must be handled with caution."
Ou Xiye naturally recalled the City Square incident from a few years ago.
At that time, it was because public opinion fermented too intensely; in order to appease public anger, the main members of the leadership team at the time were implicated.
Tang Ye analyzed: "Those posts online must be someone deliberately hiring internet trolls to maliciously smear the government. I suggest you arrange for the Propaganda Department to intervene and use resources to delete all posts that lack factual basis. Now that the news has just broken, as long as it is handled in a timely manner, we can minimize the negative impact."
Ou Xiye nodded slightly: "I will apply for support from the city right now and seek help."
"Sorry to trouble you." Tang Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
Subsequently, Ou Xiye dialed Liu Mingyuan's phone: "Secretary Liu, I need to report something to you. The Provincial Geological Team entered Julong Mountain to prepare to set up a mining area, and encountered some trouble in the process."
Liu Mingyuan said in a deep voice: "I have heard about the matter; the expert Li Zhewen sent by the province was also attacked."
Ou Xiye sighed: "Secretary Liu, there is a new situation now. Just a moment ago, a group of unidentified individuals attacked the village at Julong Mountain, and the common people were injured. Now it is spreading all over the internet that our Dayu County Government arranged for people to do it. I suspect this was carefully planned by someone to deliberately smear the image of our Dayu County Government."
Liu Mingyuan's brows knitted together: "There is actually such a thing? Isn't this just fearing that the world won't be in chaos?"
"I originally thought Julong Mountain was a gold mine, but I didn't expect so many things to happen before work even started." Ou Xiye complained helplessly.
Liu Mingyuan comforted him in a deep voice: "Secretary Ou, rest assured, the innocent will remain innocent; this matter has nothing to do with Dayu County. No matter how the outside world smears us, it is useless. You focus on doing your job; I will have the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department handle these negative messages online."
Having obtained Liu Mingyuan's understanding and support, Ou Xiye felt relieved and said softly: "Thank you for your trust and support, Secretary Liu."
Subsequently, Liu Mingyuan immediately issued an order to the Head of the Municipal Publicity Department that the rumors spreading online must be completely cleared as soon as possible.
……
Good news does not leave the gate, but bad news travels a thousand miles.
The news unfavorable to Dayu spread like a virus.
Even.
The "Exchange Starry Sky" production team also noticed it.
Seeing the various slanders against Dayu County online, Gao Yao could not help but feel suspicious.
Although it was very late, she still dialed Tang Ye's phone.
"County Magistrate Tang, I want to verify, are the reports about Dayu County online true?"
"Sister Yao, I guarantee to you that these are false reports. We have already provided feedback to the higher-level departments; I believe these messages will be deleted tomorrow."
Gao Yao said in a deep voice: "We have to consider many factors when choosing a filming location. If Dayu County's public image is poor, we will definitely have to reconsider."
Tang Ye understood what she meant and quickly said: "Sister Yao, please give me three days."
Gao Yao could feel Tang Ye's predicament.
Although the two had not spent much time together, her impression of Tang Ye had always been good, so she nodded and said: "Fine, after three days, we will decide whether to continue recording the first episode in Dayu County."
Hanging up the phone, Tang Ye took a deep breath.
The opponent's cards had all been played!
Next!
He had to start responding and counterattacking!
……
Li Na sat in front of the computer desk.
She had just finished showering, her hair wrapped in a towel, and she was wearing black-rimmed glasses, then walked over to the computer desk.
QQ was logged in on the computer, and an avatar was flashing.
Li Na's lips curled into a smile as she tapped on the unread message.
The chat box was from a friend noted as "Peaceful Days."
"Dust MM, why are you still online so late?"
Li Na's screen name was "Yinmo Chen'ai," and she quickly replied: "I'm waiting for you!"
"It feels really good to be waited for. How are you feeling today?"
"Not very good."
"Oh? Tell me about it?"
"It's just some grumbling; I don't want to let negative emotions affect you."
"It's fine, internet friends are meant for venting, and I'm willing to be your listener."
"Thank you for being so thoughtful. I'm really happy to know you. Every time I chat with you, I feel especially familiar and close, as if we've been good friends for a long time."
"I'm the same as you. By the way, can we video chat?"
"No, I just finished showering, it's not very convenient."
"Alright, that's a bit of a pity. I've always been curious about what you look like."
"I'm not good-looking, just a fatty who is 160 cm tall, with a 160 cm waist, and weighs 160 kg."
"Don't lie to me, I think you must be a fashionable beauty."
Li Na chatted with him for nearly an hour, and seeing that it was getting late, she reluctantly said goodnight.
Li Na had never imagined that one day she would chat so engrossingly with a stranger online.
Ever since her father and younger brother were arrested, her life had fallen into endless darkness.
Later, she occasionally added a random friend online, and to her surprise, after chatting, it was like discovering a new world.
The netizen "Peaceful Days" spoke with elegance and wit, and had a broad range of knowledge.
Chatting with him allowed her exhausted mood to find rare relaxation and tranquility.
The Construction General Commander of the Julong Mountain Mining Area was attacked and seriously injured.
And the attacker was an employee of the Hongling Group.
This made Li Na vaguely feel that something was amiss.
She did not know.
There was an even bigger trap waiting for her.
……
The next morning, Li Na had just walked into the office.
The Secretary knocked and entered with a nervous expression.
"Boss, yesterday a village at Julong Mountain was attacked by unidentified personnel."
"Does it have anything to do with us?"
"It has nothing to do with us, but now the outside world is spreading rumors that those people were hired by us from out of town, attempting to create conflict between the village and the mining area staff."
Li Na frowned and took a deep breath: "The innocent are self-cleansing! Since we didn't do it, there is no need to panic."
The Secretary was just about to leave.
The office door was pushed open heavily.
Wang Kang led several police officers inside.
Li Na frowned and asked calmly: "County Magistrate Wang, is something the matter?"
Wang Kang took out an arrest warrant and said in a deep voice: "Just received notice from the City Bureau, Hongling Group has mined mineral resources without permission and is also suspected of hiring people to commit assault; please come with us."
Li Na seemed to have predicted this scene long ago.
She stood up cleanly and efficiently!
"I have a clear conscience!
I am willing to cooperate with your investigation!"
