Ya Nei of Rebirth

Mr. Zhou's evaluation of his old colleague was a bit too conservative.

This man is not only unafraid of trouble, he is simply bold. Not only did "On Seeking Truth from Facts" appear in the newspaper, but it was also placed in a very eye-catching layout, as if he was afraid that others would not see it. He also added a eloquent "Editor's Note" with hundreds of words, all of which

It's time to catch up with the commentators.

As a result, the matter became a big deal and immediately caused an uproar in the province. The next day, a refutation article was published in the same space, which was thousands of words long and accused Yan and Liu of distorting the facts and talking nonsense. What follows?

Refute articles one after another, and the words and sentences are also the same

They are becoming more and more strict, constantly going up and down the line, saying that this is a blatant opposition to the central government's theoretical guidelines and will never be tolerated. The following article even points out that the two authors of "On Seeking Truth from Facts" were punished by the party for making mistakes.

The intentions of grassroots cadres cannot be questioned.

"N Provincial Daily" is the most authoritative newspaper in the province and is ranked among the best in the country. With such an uproar, the Baozhou area and Xiangyang County naturally felt like a pot was boiling. The names of Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai were almost

Within days it became a household name.

The strange thing is that no one from the region or the county actually talked to Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai, not even the most private chat. Everyone was carefully avoiding this matter and these two people.

Both parties involved could not sit still.

The bomb has been dropped, but there is no movement around. Something is not right.

As usual, talk to Mr. Zhou and get some ideas.

When they met, Mr. Zhou was conversing in Russian with Liu Jun.

Russian has a low tone and is very tongue-twisting, especially the long names of people, such as "Mir", "Zhov", "Ski", etc., which are like tongue twisters, making Liu Jun's head as big as a bucket. He can't speak for more than a moment.

, even the tongue is numb.

Yan Yucheng couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Teacher, you are so leisurely."

Mr. Zhou smiled slightly: "You two have just arrived now, so you can be considered safe."

Both of them were startled, then shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

"My heart is scratching like a cat's claws, how can I still be stable?"

"Please sit down, please sit down, and be patient."

Mr. Zhou was so rested and had the demeanor of a general that he was covering himself up with a quilt when the sky fell, which made Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai feel at ease.

Liu Jun secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that his husband had obtained some inside information that was so safe? Thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong. What kind of inside information could he, a "reactionary academic authority" who had not taken off his hat, get?

"Xiaojun, pour tea for Uncle Yan and your father."

The teacher's wife went out, so the husband called Liu Jun.

"oh."

"A humble dwelling, a cup of tea, no wonder it is so simple!"

The gentleman became more and more relaxed and dropped his book bag.

Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai looked at each other, neither knowing what kind of medicine Mr. Zhou was selling in his gourd.

"Teacher, do you have any news about your old colleague from the provincial newspaper?"

"No."

Mr. Zhou shook his head.

Yan Yucheng was shocked and asked anxiously: "Are you planning something bad?"

Mr. Zhou smiled and said: "I don't know if it's a bad thing or not. I only know that the old colleague is still working as his editor at the provincial newspaper. I haven't heard what will happen to him."

Two people, no, three people, including Liu Jun, all let out a long sigh.

The matter is obvious. The editor who published the article and added the editor's note has not done anything. It is estimated that the two authors will not have any big problems for the time being.

"You are here just in time. I have written another article. Please take a look."

"ah?"

Liu Jincai was shocked.

Mr. Zhou glanced at Liu Jincai, feeling a little unhappy.

Yan Yucheng smiled and said: "Teacher's article must be generous."

"Don't take it for granted. Since others are threatening you, you can't be a coward and avoid fighting."

Yan Yucheng clapped his hands and said: "That's right. There is no turning back when you shoot a bow. Since you have done it in the first year of junior high school, you are not afraid of doing it in the fifteenth year."

"good."

Mr. Zhou praised Liu Jincai, and said to Liu Jincai: "Jincai, you have just entered the official career, and it is difficult for you to encounter such wind and rain. But you must remember that since you have entered this circle and want to withdraw,

It’s not that easy. People who engage in politics must not only understand the general situation and know how to advance and retreat, but also have the courage to move forward at critical moments in order to achieve great things.”

Liu Jincai blushed and said humbly: "I understand. A conversation with you is worth ten years of reading."

"Haha, stop flattering me and read the article first."

The second article written by Mr. Zhou is titled "Re-discussing Seeking Truth from Facts". It is about the same length as "On Seeking Truth from Facts", and it also has seven or eight pages and about 2,000 words. Quoting from classics, it is a review of the recent criticism articles published in provincial newspapers.

Refute them one by one. The evidence is sufficient, the writing is rigorous, and it is everyone's handwriting.

"Teacher, great article."

Now that he was determined to fight to the end, Yan Yucheng stopped hiding.

“It’s indeed a good article.”

Liu Jincai also nodded in agreement.

Mr. Zhou was a little proud. This old master never concealed his likes and dislikes. I wonder if he would still be so virtuous after becoming the executive vice president of the Provincial Party School. Maybe he was just in front of the people he trusted most.

That's why you do it so freely. When you are in a high position, you will naturally pay attention to restraining your sharp edges.

…

"On Seeking Truth from Facts Again" was published as scheduled, but no editor's note was added. It is estimated that "On Seeking Truth from Facts" has attracted enough attention. Now that Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai have become celebrities in the theoretical circles of N Province, there is no need to promote it in a grand way.

Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai were relieved of their worries.

Regardless of the shock caused by the second article, the fact that the provincial newspaper was able to publish it proves that the top management approved the existence of such different opinions.

Seeing that these two punished grassroots cadres refused to give up, the theoretical circle in N Province became even more lively. At that time, refuting articles were overwhelmingly flooded, and they could not be squeezed into the pages of provincial newspapers, so they were published in party newspapers in various regions, and some theoretical

The highly sexual monthly magazine also issued an extra number.

And Xiangyang County finally had some reaction, although this reaction was so cautious and trembling.

The person assigned to come forward directly was Zhang Mulin, director of the Hongqi Commune Revolutionary Committee.

Director Zhang found Liu Jincai and smiled before saying anything.

"Jin Cai, are you busy?"

Liu Jincai was at his desk in the office, looking at some of the commune's account books, while Liu Jun was sitting on a small bench in the corner, cramming into "Dialectical Materialism and Historical Materialism."

Since you are determined to be a yamen official, you must find a way to put me in the position first. In the future, whether the cadres have a solid theoretical foundation will directly affect the speed of career advancement. Although Liu Jincai does not necessarily need Liu Jun's help, as a son,

, it is not a bad thing to accumulate more capital, it may come in handy during emergencies.

"Director Zhang, please have a seat."

Liu Jincai hurriedly stood up, offered his seat to Zhang Mulin, and poured tea.

This is not all a matter of face. Leaving aside Zhang Mulin’s status as the leader, Liu Jincai is hospitable by nature. Besides, Zhang Mulin is an honest person, and there is no big problem between the two of them.

Zhang Mulin glanced at Liu Jun and then stopped paying attention.

At Liu Jun's age, he won't be able to let others take precautions for a while.

Liu Jun guessed that he must have come to Liu Jincai to talk about the provincial newspaper article, but he wanted to see how this honest man would open his mouth.

"Director Zhang, what are your instructions?"

Liu Jincai smiled, sat opposite Zhang Mulin, and handed him a "Flying Pigeon".

"Ah, Jincai, don't laugh at me, I... what instructions can I give you?"

Zhang Mulin was obviously a little embarrassed.

Alas, an honest person is an honest person. Although his position is overwhelming, he seems to be very reserved in front of Liu Jincai. Probably in his mind, Liu Jincai is already a famous and powerful figure in the province, and he cannot distinguish between superior and inferior based on his position alone.

.

Liu Jincai understood Zhang Mulin's thoughts, but he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. After all, this was all the credit of Mr. Zhou.

"Director Zhang, you also know my character. If anything happens, just tell me."

"Ah, no...nothing, just a casual chat...well, Jin Cai, you...the two articles you and Director Yan published in the provincial newspaper, um...what do these mean?"

Liu Jun tried his best to hold back his laughter and secretly shook his head.

This Director Zhang is really not very good at eloquence.

"It doesn't mean anything. I just want to talk about what's on my mind. Whatever comes to mind, I write it down. What do you think, Director Zhang?"

Alas, Dad, you don’t bully honest people like this. Aren’t you setting a trap for Director Zhang?

Liu Jun despised me a little in his heart!

"Ah, yes, the writing is very good... Ah, no, no, I didn't mean that... I mean, the writing is very good..."

Zhang Mulin fell into the trap and complimented him casually. He immediately realized that something was wrong. Didn't he agree with Liu Jincai's opinion? This was no joke, so he immediately denied it and was in a panic.

Liu Jincai suppressed his laughter and comforted him: "Director Zhang, you don't have to be nervous. We just have a casual chat and there are no outsiders anyway. Don't worry, no one will know if I don't tell anyone."

"Yes, yes, just chat casually, chat casually..."

Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Mulin's forehead, and he couldn't help but reach out to wipe it away.

Liu Jun felt uncomfortable for him in his heart. People dared to publish articles in the provincial newspaper, so what did it mean for you to deal with a few sentences? As for being so nervous? This official is really worthy of it... It's so depressing!

Liu Jincai was more alert than his son and asked, "Director Zhang, does the superiors have any opinions on this article I wrote?"

Zhang Mulin also realized his gaffe, took two deep puffs of cigarette, calmed down, and said: "Jin Cai, we are old colleagues. If I have something to say, I will say it directly. If I say something wrong, you

Don't take it personally."

"Director Zhang, don't worry."

Liu Jincai nodded solemnly.

"Jin Cai, someone above asked me to ask you why you wrote such an article and sent it to the provincial newspaper?"

This time even Liu Jun became alert.

Maybe Zhang Mulin was honest, maybe he didn't dare to involve himself in this matter, but he said bluntly that someone from above wanted to ask. Although the director of the commune was not a big official, Zhang Mulin's cautious character wanted to instigate him to get involved in this matter.

Among them, the so-called "person from above" has a good background. Perhaps he is one of Cui Xiuhe and Wang Benqing.

Liu Jincai was not in a hurry to answer. He smoked a cigarette, thought for a while, and then said: "Director Zhang, I don't know who asked you to ask, and I don't want to know. Tell that person that I am a party member and I have my own opinions."

right."

Dad, citizens should have the right to freedom of speech. It is stated in the Constitution, but this theoretical level still needs to be improved.

Liu Jun corrected his father in his mind.

Zhang Mulin nodded and stood up.

Probably the people above didn't explain anything in detail, they just asked him to come and have a look. After Zhang Mulin got such words, he could hand over the job. After taking two steps, he felt that it was inappropriate to leave like this, so he turned around and said,

Want to say something.

Liu Jincai smiled and waved his hand, and Zhang Mulin also smiled, but in the end he didn't say anything.
