Chapter 1492
The rumors spread wildly, and soon, everyone in the Matou Town government knew about them. Many people's eyes when looking at Su Xinghui and Du Fangfang became a bit strange.
Of course, Su Xinghui's prestige in the Matou Town government was still quite high now. Most people in the town government respected Su Xinghui very much, and it was a respect from the bottom of their hearts. They didn't spread bad things about Su Xinghui much, but for Du Fangfang, they didn't have so many scruples.
Du Fangfang was very close to Su Xinghui, which everyone could see, and Du Fangfang was obviously the active one. She often washed clothes for Su Xinghui and sent food to him. Everyone understood her feelings for Su Xinghui.
Some people mocked her for being an ugly duckling wanting to climb a high branch, some people felt she was too open, and there were also single female employees in the town government who were jealous of her, feeling that they were no worse than Du Fangfang, so why was Secretary Su so close to her? Such people would also speak ill of Du Fangfang.
Many bad things spread were very ugly, and could even be said to be unbearable to the ear. Many people would show malicious smiles when they saw Du Fangfang.
This day, Lü Xianghui came to Su Xinghui's office. He asked straight to the point, "Secretary Su, have you heard some of the rumors in the town government recently?"
Su Xinghui asked, "Are you referring to the rumors about Du Fangfang, He Xiaofeng's family, and me?"
Lü Xianghui nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know where these rumors came from. They are too filthy. Hearing them makes me furious. Secretary, I think we need to take measures!"
Lü Xianghui was a person with a fiery temper. He respected Su Xinghui very much, and he had seen Su Xinghui's character with his own eyes. He didn't believe at all that Su Xinghui had an affair with the people mentioned in the rumors. Su Xinghui spent all his time on work, which he had seen with his own eyes.
Su Xinghui smiled and said, "What measures can I take? Stop others from talking? Or arrest them? Is that feasible? Rumors stop with the wise. I am upright and don't fear a crooked shadow. The rumors won't spread for long before they dissipate on their own."
Lü Xianghui said, "But Secretary, this has too great an impact on your image. We still need to find a way to clarify it."
Su Xinghui shook his head and said, "This matter is really hard to clarify. It would be bad if it made others think I have a guilty conscience."
Lü Xianghui said, "I don't know who spread the rumors, but they sound very plausible. I estimate it must have been spread by people in our Matou Town government."
Su Xinghui couldn't help but think of the time when he was in Pengjiawan Town, when Tong Yuejin also spread his scandals, wrote letters to report him, and wrote letters to Lu Xiaoya.
In China, if you want to bring someone down and can't find any flaws elsewhere, starting with their relationships with the opposite sex usually has miraculous effects. Too many people in China have fallen because of relationships with the opposite sex.
As for whether you actually have an improper relationship with someone, that is not important. Anyway, spreading rumors costs nothing; you just need to move your lips. Even if you write a report letter, it only costs eight cents for a stamp, and you can report anonymously.
Spread a rumor, send a letter, and the person's enemy can hide on the side and watch the person be in a mess. Isn't that delightful?
It must be said that this method is despicable, but it is also very effective.
Su Xinghui also had a rough idea of who spread this rumor. It must have been instigated by Ren Guisheng's gang, specifically implemented by Zhang Shiqing, who bribed a few individuals in the Matou Town government to collect some of Su Xinghui's leverage, and then it could be spread.
As for whether this leverage is true, is that important? Rumors are originally one part truth and nine parts false. If the cost is so low and it can make you flustered, isn't it cost-effective? If by any chance it is found that this person really has problems in this regard, then he can be dismissed.
However, Ren Guisheng and the others probably didn't think they could do anything to Su Xinghui just by rumors. As long as these rumors could make Su Xinghui flustered and distract his energy so he couldn't spare his hands to deal with them, then they would have achieved their goal.
It can be said that in Changshan County, apart from Su Xinghui, Ren Guisheng and the others didn't take anyone else seriously.
Thinking of this, Su Xinghui thought of another possibility: these people might also use Tong Yuejin's method, sending anonymous letters to Lu Xiaoya to ruin Su Xinghui's reputation and cause trouble in Su Xinghui's backyard.
If Lu Xiaoya believed what was said in the anonymous letter and came to tear at Su Xinghui, getting Su Xinghui transferred away or directly breaking up with Su Xinghui, then it would be even more in line with these people's wishes, and they would have hope of saving their sons.
Thinking of this possibility, Su Xinghui thought about calling Lu Xiaoya in the evening to give her a preventive shot. Although Lu Xiaoya trusted him, a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; women are not that rational and are more inclined to be emotional. If she believed it, it would be troublesome.
Su Xinghui said to Lü Xianghui, "Now is not the time to investigate this. Mayor Lü, don't put your energy into this. You should focus on doing a good job in the town's economic construction, especially the development of animal husbandry. You should pay more attention to it."
Lü Xianghui said, "The development momentum of animal husbandry is very good, and the progress of several other projects is also very smooth. There is no problem with Matou Town becoming the largest economic town in the county this year. Secretary, you still need to pay attention to this matter of yours. Otherwise, it will make all the cadres in the town panic, and they won't have the heart to work."
Lü Xianghui's worry was also well-founded. Now most of the cadres in the town respected Su Xinghui very much, and Su Xinghui could be said to be their spiritual support. Now that rumors about Su Xinghui had spread in the county for no reason, these cadres would naturally be distracted, not knowing what Su Xinghui would encounter, which would naturally affect their work efficiency.
