Super first-tier cities: Starting from village committee secretary

Liu Deman: [Secretary Xiong, this move is brilliant!]

An Qi: [Fortune favors the bold. Secretary Xiong has a good head on his shoulders. Why didn't I think of that?]

Li Dada: [6666, amazing! Shan Xiong bullfrogs are definitely going to be okay. The fiercer the public opinion, the greater the impact of the reversal.]

Yu Haiyue: [Cooperating with Secretary Xiong is truly the wisest choice. @Thanks to Secretary Miao Ge for the introduction.]

Hua Da: [So, is the next step just watching the public opinion take off?]

Xiong Xu: [Let's do two things at once. On one hand, let the bullets fly for a while longer. On the other hand, let's ask an authoritative organization to test the Shan Xiong bullfrogs. Everyone should have the sanitary inspection report for the Shan Xiong bullfrogs' market launch, right? When the authoritative organization issues the report results, everyone can release them together.]

Liu Deman: [Got it!]

Li Dada: [Received!]

Zhang Wenjie: [Just saying, Little Xiong has a good brain! Haha!]

Yu Haiyue: [I almost couldn't withstand the pressure just now and was about to have someone release the sanitary inspection report. Fortunately, Secretary Xiong spoke up early and I withdrew it in time.]

An Qi: [You're lucky you didn't release it. It would have been useless. In the current public opinion climate, no one would believe the inspection report released by the company. It will only be effective when the government inspection agency releases it.]

Watching the messages in the group, Xiong Xu revealed a satisfied expression. Then, he switched back to the Weibo interface. Now that the suppliers were stabilized, he only needed to pay attention to the online public opinion trends. As for the other matters, he would leave it to Secretary Miao Ge's operations.

This isn't a one-man war!

Everyone should have their own tasks!

.....

Zhengjing City Municipal Government, Municipal Party Secretary's Office!

"It's simply lawless! Who on earth gave Xiong Xu the audacity to dare to spout nonsense online!"

Inside the office, Zhengjing City Party Secretary Xu Gaotang slammed the table in anger as he looked at the online public opinion report that his secretary handed him.

"Our official media has been bombarded, the mayor's hotline has been flooded, and there are more than two hundred letters of complaint demanding that Xiong Xu be immediately controlled and the Shan Xiong Breeding Company be shut down!"

"Moreover, Director Wang from the Provincial Party Committee just called again, also demanding that we shut down the Shan Xiong Breeding Company as soon as possible to reduce the impact of public opinion."

Secretary Wang Jie said.

"Hmph!"

Xu Gaotang snorted coldly, "Le'an County can't do a good job in developing the economy, nor can it do a good job in environmental protection. They can't do anything well! Now they've messed up this public opinion, involving the entire city and even the entire province in criticism from the national public."

Secretary Wang Jie didn't say anything.

"What on earth are they doing?"

"Fools! They're really fools!"

Xu Gaotang kept complaining, his mouth never stopping. But although he kept complaining, he didn't say that he would shut down the Shan Xiong Breeding Company according to the province's instructions.

From the bottom of his heart, Xu Gaotang didn't want to shut down the Shan Xiong Breeding Company. Although the public opinion online was huge and so many people were cursing Shan Xiong bullfrogs, not a single piece of evidence proved that Shan Xiong bullfrogs were harmful to health or didn't comply with sanitary management regulations.

Without evidence, just because of public opinion, he should shut down a company? In Xu Gaotang's view, this was lazy governance, and the Zhengjing City government shouldn't be swayed by public opinion.

"Knock knock ~"

A knock came from outside the door.

"Come in!"

Xu Gaotang said softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Director of the Health Bureau, Lu Dongliang, and the Minister of the Propaganda Department, He Yajie, pushed open the door and walked into the office.

Lu Dongliang walked to the desk and handed Xu Gaotang a stack of reports. "Secretary, this is the sampling inspection report that our city's Health Bureau conducted on Zhang Ping Agricultural Trade Company's bullfrog products some time ago. The reports are all qualified."

Xu Gaotang took the report and flipped through it. After reading it, his brows furrowed. "These inspection reports are all from before. If we release them now, the public definitely won't buy it."

The Minister of the Propaganda Department, He Yajie, also helplessly chimed in: "Yes, the inspection report can't effectively prove that Shan Xiong bullfrogs are safe now. On the contrary, if we release this inspection report at this time, under the current public opinion environment, the public will think that our municipal government and the enterprise are colluding with each other."

The current public opinion environment is as bad as it can be for the government. As long as the government doesn't act in accordance with online public opinion, anything it does will be sprayed by netizens.

For example, in this matter, the internet demands the closure of the Shan Xiong Breeding Company. If the municipal government doesn't close it down and instead produces an inspection report saying that there's nothing wrong with Shan Xiong bullfrogs, then netizens will curse even more and spread a lot of rumors, saying that the Shan Xiong boss is a relative of someone in the Municipal Party Committee.

So, every time public opinion arises, the most headache is for government departments. Clarify, and you'll be scolded for colluding; don't clarify, and you'll be scolded for inaction.

If you act according to online public opinion, then the municipal government will be swayed by public opinion.

A dilemma.

"What's your suggestion?" Xu Gaotang put on his glasses and looked at He Yajie, asking.

He Yajie pondered, "Temporarily shut down the Shan Xiong Breeding Company to lower the heat. After the heat passes, release the inspection report and let the Shan Xiong Breeding Company continue to operate."

"Preposterous!"

Xu Gaotang took off his glasses again and threw them on the table, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"Secretary, I don't think it's unfair to shut down the Shan Xiong Breeding Company at all. The matter wasn't a big deal to begin with, and the heat wasn't very high either. We could have suppressed it, but this Xiong Xu was just being a busybody, constantly fanning the flames, making this matter known throughout the entire internet. Some celebrities couldn't stand it anymore and came down to curse."

"In the end, the development of the matter to this point is all Xiong Xu's fault!" Lu Dongliang said, expressing his support for shutting down the Shan Xiong Breeding Company.

Xu Gaotang couldn't help but fall silent upon hearing these words, suddenly feeling that these words made a lot of sense.

Xiong Xu was just being a busybody.

Shutting down the company wouldn't be unfair to him.

"This is also a weirdo. When others encounter this kind of thing, they can't avoid hiding, but he insists on rushing up. He's really a pig teammate." He Yajie couldn't help but complain about Xiong Xu.

Xu Gaotang sighed, feeling that he couldn't save the Shan Xiong Breeding Company.

"Beep beep ~"

At this time, the landline phone on the table rang.

Xu Gaotang looked at the phone, feeling a burst of nervousness, worried that it was a call from above. After thinking about it, he reached out and picked up the phone receiver, putting it to his ear and answering, "Hello!"

"Hello, Secretary Xu, this is Miao Ge."

Hearing the familiar voice from the other end of the phone, Xu Gaotang breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that it wasn't a call from above.

"Has Xiong Xu been controlled? Don't let him talk nonsense on the internet anymore," Xu Gaotang said somewhat angrily.

"Secretary Xu, don't worry, I've already contacted Weibo officials and banned his account."

"I'm calling you because there's something I need your help with. It's like this..."

Over the next few minutes, Miao Ge told Xu Gaotang Xiong Xu's plan, word for word. Originally angry, Xu Gaotang's mood suddenly improved after hearing these words.

"Haha, wonderful, truly wonderful!"

Xu Gaotang's face turned from gloomy to clear, and he exclaimed that it was wonderful.
