In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong

Rolling his eyes, Chen Luo picked up the red phone on the table.

"Hello, is this the General Office? This is Chen Luo from the Provincial Party Committee. Connect me to Jiang Kang, the district head of Guangming District, Jingzhou City!"

After saying that, Chen Luo put down the phone and waited.

Less than two minutes later, the phone rang.

"Secretary Chen, you wanted to see me?"

The voice that came through the phone was Jiang Kang's, somewhat deep, but his enunciation was still clear and strong.

"Comrade Jiang Kang, what's the story behind all those online comments about you? I need you to give the provincial party committee a truthful answer!"

"Secretary Chen, this is what happened..."

Jiang Kang didn't hide anything, telling everyone about his leave to go to the capital to get a divorce and his severing of ties with the Jiang family. He even mentioned that the child wasn't his biological child.

"So this was all your stepmother's doing?"

"Probably so, Secretary Chen! Secretary Chen, if the Provincial Party Committee feels too much pressure, I can resign from the organization, after all, this whole mess was caused by me."

"What nonsense are you talking about? We don't do that in Handong. Since you're clean, you don't have to worry about what others say!"

Okay, I'm hanging up now. You can focus on your work.

After saying that, Chen Luo hung up the phone. He then pondered Jiang Kang's words, finally sighing, "Only men can truly understand men when it comes to this kind of thing..."

Chen Luo didn't even bother to respond to the rumors spread by some unscrupulous media outlets, let alone blame Jiang Kang for it. But Feng Lili in the capital couldn't sit still any longer.

For three days in a row, there were reports about Jiang Kang non-stop, but the Handong side didn't take the pressure at all and acted as if they didn't hear or see it.

Of course, the anxious Feng Lili wouldn't give up so easily.

Since the local media in Handong don't care, let the storm rage on!

That afternoon, the Women's Daily commented on Jiang Kang's actions, pointing out that the annual service value of housewives is 1.24 million yuan, strongly condemning Jiang Kang's behavior, and tagging the official website of the Handong government.

That's really interesting!

If it were unofficial media reports, Handong wouldn't want to spend time responding at all. But the Women's Daily is, after all, affiliated with the All-China Women's Federation, which is a ministerial-level unit.

Even the chairperson of the Women's Federation is concurrently the vice chairperson.

This is something we absolutely have to take seriously!

It happened to be Friday, and at 3 p.m., the Standing Committee convened to specifically discuss this matter.

In the main seat of the conference room, Sha Ruijin glanced around before his gaze settled on Li Dakang and Chen Luo.

"Secretary Dakang, are you aware of Jiang Kang's matter?"

Upon hearing this, Li Dakang leaned closer to the microphone.

“Secretary Sha, I have already reported this matter to Secretary Chen. Secretary Chen and Jiang Kang were the ones who contacted each other directly.”

The meaning is clear: Li Dakang was unaware of it either.

Then Sha Ruijin looked at Chen Luo.

"Comrade Chen Luo, what are the results of the inquiry?"

Chen Luo nodded and smiled, saying, "Secretary Sha, Governor Jianjun, comrades, I have personally asked Comrade Jiang Kang about this matter. The content reported by those media outlets and the Women's Daily is false. It is true that Comrade Jiang Kang is divorced, but the reason is that his wife cheated on him with his own younger brother!"

Even the son born during their marriage was not Jiang Kang's biological child.

"Damn it!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked at each other in disbelief.

Even Sha Ruijin stared wide-eyed, his eyes glazed over.

"Ahem, Comrade Chen Luo, are you telling the truth?"

"Secretary Sha, Comrade Jiang Kang even provided a paternity test report, which shows that his son with his ex-wife is not related by blood, but they are related by kinship!"

"hiss!"

Everyone gasped in surprise; this melon was definitely ripe!

"Well... I've heard some things about Comrade Jiang Kang. A few days ago, Comrade Jiang Kang went to the capital and I heard that he severed ties with his grandfather and father."

Zhou Jianjun knew some of the gossip, after all, they were all in the same circle.

“That’s right, what Governor Jianjun said is true. Comrade Jiang Kang has also severed ties with his family, and perhaps that’s why he was retaliated against.”

Everyone nodded in understanding, but the problem still needed to be solved, since the public opinion was still circulating in the Women's Daily.

"Comrade Chen Luo, what's your opinion?"

"Secretary Sha, Governor Jianjun, comrades, my opinion is very simple: Jiang Kang is a cadre from our Handong, and he is the district head of Guangming District appointed by our Provincial Party Committee!"

If Comrade Jiang Kang really has a problem, then our provincial party committee will certainly not tolerate it. But Comrade Jiang Kang himself has no problems. We cannot abandon such a good comrade just because of an erroneous report in the Women's Daily.

After all, the eyes of our Handong Provincial Committee are discerning!

"You have an extremely high eye for people!"

Chapter 378: Response to the Women's Newspaper and Public Opinion

Everyone understood what Chen Luo meant.

The district head of Guangming District, appointed just a few days ago by the Hantong Provincial Party Committee, is now being slandered like this...

This is a slap in the face to the Handong Provincial Party Committee!

"What Secretary Chen said makes a lot of sense. Our discipline inspection commission emphasizes dealing with cadres based on facts."

Comrade Jiang Kang himself has no problems.

If our Handong Provincial Party Committee punishes him simply because of the unscrupulous media's reckless reporting, how can that be convincing?

After Tian Guofu finished speaking, Li Dakang picked up the conversation.

“Secretary Tian, ​​this is not just a matter of whether or not we can win people over, but a matter of fairness and morality. If we can destroy a hardworking cadre in this way, then how can we talk about serving the people in Handong?”

Therefore, on the issue of Jiangkang, we in Handong must not only defend it, but also resolutely fight back!

“What Secretary Dakang said makes a lot of sense. Secretary Sha, Governor Jianjun, Secretary Chen, comrades, I can say with certainty that our Organization Department’s investigation of Comrade Jiang Kang was completely genuine and without any exaggeration!”

During his five years in charge of Xiji County, Comrade Jiang Kang visited all nineteen townships, 295 villages, and thirteen communities under its jurisdiction.

By introducing projects tailored to local conditions to help people escape poverty and achieve prosperity, Xiji County's GDP has nearly doubled in five years.

It can be said that such cadres are extremely rare, and we in Handong cannot allow them to be harmed again.

Wu Chunlin's words made everyone present think. Seeing that the atmosphere had reached a certain point, Sha Ruijin made a decision!

“What you all said is reasonable and well-founded. Since we are all in agreement on how to handle Comrade Jiang Kang’s case, then the Hantong Provincial Committee will resolutely protect him to the end!”

Let those media outlets that spread nonsense understand that cadres in Handong who dare to spread rumors are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. In the face of truth and facts, they are all paper tigers!

As for the Women's Daily, Comrade Chen Luo will respond on behalf of the Handong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China on the official website of the Handong government!

Could you use a stronger wording? After all, the Women's Daily isn't some independent media outlet. It's one thing for independent media to follow suit, but how dare the Women's Daily spread rumors about our Handong cadres without any factual basis?

How can this be allowed!

"Yes, Secretary Sha, I will draft a formal response from Handong after the meeting!"

The meeting lasted only about forty minutes. For the first time in a long time, everyone refrained from discussing their personal issues and genuinely spoke out for Jiang Kang.

After the meeting, Chen Luo began drafting a response.

Friday at 5 PM sharp!

The Handong government's official website issued a formal response to the Women's News, and the response was forceful and resounding!

[Regarding the online discussions about Comrade Jiang Kang, the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government of Handong attach great importance to this matter. After investigation, the accusations that Comrade Jiang Kang abandoned his wife and children are pure slander!]

Comrade Jiang Kang was a good cadre of the Party and the people. During his work in Xiji County in western China, he traveled to all the townships and villages, dedicating his youth and sweat to the road to poverty alleviation and prosperity.

The so-called abandonment of his wife and children was nothing more than Jiang Kang's wife, Jing Shu, having an affair while he was serving in the west.

The son she gave birth to was not Jiang Kang's biological child!

The provincial party committee and government of Handong have no reason to stop such a divorce!

Handong will launch an investigation into the baseless rumors spread by 18 unscrupulous media outlets, including Xiaoxiang Times and Morning Post.

If this constitutes deliberate slander, Handong will take legal action to protect Comrade Jiang Kang's legitimate interests!

The first letter was a response to public opinion and unscrupulous media, while the second letter was a response specifically to the Women's Daily!

The Women's Daily is an organization under the Women's Federation. Without any factual basis, it makes unfounded speculations and incites the public to engage in cyberbullying against Comrade Jiang Kang. The Handong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government find this hard to understand and resolutely oppose such reckless actions and reports!

Speaking the truth is the top priority for news media. Han Dong expressed his disappointment with the Women's Daily's inaccurate reporting.

Such muddled remarks not only exacerbate gender antagonism but also severely damage the image of cadres in Handong. Handong demands an explanation and an apology!

As various official platforms in Handong reposted the news, the two messages quickly became trending topics. In addition to the response, the Handong government website also posted evidence, including Jiang Kang's achievements in leading Xiji County to prosperity over the past five years, and even a paternity test report!

With sufficient factual basis, these false statements from demons and monsters were suppressed in an instant!

However, some sharp-eyed netizens have spotted a blind spot!

The paternity test report clearly stated that it did not support a father-son relationship, but it did support a kinship relationship!

Everyone knows what this means!

This is absolutely a shocking piece of gossip!

As public opinion grew, the relationship between Jiang Kang, Jiang Ning, and Jiang Dehai was also exposed.

Jiang Ning was already a despised figure, and Jiang Dehai was no better off. The Jiang family had already been famous once before, but this time the public opinion came even faster and more fiercely!

If the child is not Jiang Kang's, but there is still a kinship relationship, then it can only be the child of one of the other two people.

But whether it's Jiang Ning or Jiang Dehai, such things violate worldly ethics.

Public opinion surged back like a tidal wave, with countless reposts and comments completely exposing this scandal.

Jiang Family Courtyard.

Overnight, public opinion changed drastically. Feng Lili was standing in the courtyard, answering a phone call.

"Second sister-in-law, is this my fault?"
