Chapter 875: Anti-pornography
Chapter 875: Anti-pornography
"Crack down on pornography? What pornography are we cracking down on?!" Long Fuhai couldn't contain himself any longer and stood up suddenly.
He knew clearly that if he was treated as a target of the anti-pornography campaign today, not only would his position as municipal party secretary be in jeopardy, but he would also lose face and have no place to stand.
"Whose orders are you following? I want to ask which leader gave the instructions. I have a long-standing friendship with Deputy Director Wu of the Public Security Department." The Deputy Director Wu he mentioned is the Executive Deputy Director of the Public Security Department.
However, when Gao Zhihua heard the title of Director Wu, he did not show any awe.
"Of course we respect Director Wu, but even if he knew about this, he would still fully support us in combating illegal and criminal activities." Gao Zhihua spoke firmly, neither humble nor arrogant. He straightened his chest and glanced at a corner of the room intentionally or unintentionally, exuding a righteous aura.
Following his line of sight, Long Fuhai and the others realized that several people dressed in waiter uniforms had appeared in the corner and were filming them with cameras.
Someone, unable to contain their anger, pointed at the person filming and shouted, "What are you doing? Put down the camera immediately! Who gave you the right to film?"
"Captain Gao, what do you mean?" Long Fuhai asked coldly with eyes as sharp as knives.
"Anyone who breaks the law will be punished." Gao Zhihua didn't flinch. Of course, he recognized Long Fuhai, but at this point, he had no choice but to go ahead. He feigned composure, pointed at the young girl next to Long Fuhai, and ordered the officers around him, "Check whether this girl is an adult. If she is a minor, your crime will be even more serious."
When Long Fuhai and others heard this, they felt something was wrong and realized that the other party had done it on purpose.
Long Fuhai looked around at everyone and decided to take out his cell phone to make a call.
Seeing this, Gao Zhihua immediately ordered his subordinates to rush forward and snatch the phone.
"Until this matter is resolved, none of you are allowed to contact the outside world."
Long Fuhai dodged the snatch, tightly grasped the phone, and shouted angrily: "How dare you! I am Long Fuhai, the secretary of the Tianzhou Municipal Party Committee. I dare anyone to confiscate my phone! If this delays important matters, all of you will be skinned alive!"
Long Fuhai understood that the time had come when he had to reveal his identity.
Otherwise, once his mobile phone is taken away, he will lose his room for maneuver and become a lamb to be slaughtered.
Sure enough, as soon as Long Fuhai introduced himself, Gao Zhihua and others fell silent, looking at each other, not knowing whether to move or not, and felt a little helpless.
If Long Fuhai concealed his identity, Gao Zhihua could still find an excuse to control him.
Now that Long Fuhai has made his identity clear, if he does not report it and handles the matter on his own, he will be seriously derelict in his duty.
After all, he didn't have the power to arrest a local municipal party secretary.
Just as he was thinking about whether to report to his leader Wen Qiang, Hanjiang Daily reporter Huang Bingzheng stepped forward.
"So what if he's the municipal party secretary? Can he do whatever he wants? The sky over our Han River isn't that gloomy!"
Long Fuhai was furious. He looked at Huang Bingzheng and asked in a bad tone, "Who are you?"
"I'm Huang Bingzheng, a reporter for the Hanjiang Daily. I've received an order from the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department to work with comrades from the Public Security Department to launch this joint anti-pornography operation!"
Huang Bingzheng was not at all nervous and looked at Long Fuhai.
His uncle had just been promoted to Executive Vice Minister of the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department by Qi Tongwei. In return, even if he lost his job this time, he had to carry out Qi Tongwei's instructions and bring Long Fuhai down with him.
The municipal party secretary Long Fuhai solicited prostitution and threatened reporters and police. This should be enough to make him suffer.
When they heard it was the Hanjiang Daily, everyone was about to relax, but then the words "Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department" popped up, which immediately scared Long Fuhai and his group.
Since it involves the provincial party committee, it is not something that can be handled by just a few of them.
Everyone looked at Long Fuhai. Now, only Long Fuhai had the ability to influence the higher-ups.
Long Fuhai suppressed it subtly with his hand, then, furious, took out his phone and started making a call, threatening: "So what if it's the Provincial Propaganda Department? You can't do that. I have a good relationship with your Minister Jiang. I want to ask him what he means by this."
The Minister Jiang in Longfu Haikou is none other than the newly promoted member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Jiang Zhongliu.
The call was connected. Long Fuhai walked aside with the phone. I don’t know what he said, but he hung up soon.
"Don't worry, I have already told Minister Jiang, and Minister Jiang will transfer them away soon." Long Fuhai glanced at Huang Bingzheng with an arrogant look.
As soon as these words were spoken, some people started shouting and yelling for the police and reporters to get out of the room.
There was a slight commotion among the anti-pornography team.
Suddenly, Huang Bingzheng slammed his press card on the table and shouted angrily, "Don't be afraid, everyone. I don't believe there's no justice in the Han River. Today, I, Huang Bingzheng, am making this statement: If the Provincial Party Committee doesn't deal with these pests, I will go to Beijing and sue them, even if it costs me my life!"
Gao Zhihua didn't understand why Huang Bingzheng suddenly did this, but when he thought of his background, he guessed that he must have some unknown confidence.
After weighing the pros and cons, he stood up and said, "That's right! We can't give in to illegal activities. If the provincial party committee doesn't deal with it, we will go to Beijing to sue them!"
The two men's shout immediately boosted morale, and the people below followed like clouds, each threatening to go to the capital to file a complaint.
Long Fuhai had an ominous premonition in his heart.
At this moment, the phone in his hand rang. It was Minister Jiang from the Propaganda Department calling and telling him, "Fu Hai, this may be a little difficult to handle.
This anti-pornography operation was arranged by the newly appointed Executive Vice Minister Huang Wei. I heard that it was under the order of Deputy Secretary Yu of the Provincial Party Committee.
As you know, I just took office and many things have not been sorted out yet, and some things are really difficult to handle."
As a newcomer who is also a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, can he compete with Yu Huabei, the veteran third-in-command?
"Minister Jiang, can you help us adjust this?"
"I'll try my best, but don't have too much hope. This matter mainly depends on you." Jiang Zhongliu practiced Tai Chi.
Jiang Zhongliu and Long Fuhai are just acquaintances, so how could he possibly offend a large group of people for Long Fuhai?
Long Fuhai understood what he meant, said a few words of thanks, and hung up the phone.
......
An hour later, at the provincial capital hotel.
Qi Tongwei was lying comfortably on the sofa watching the replay of the 7 o'clock news.
The phone next to him rang. Qi Tongwei didn't look at the number, but picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.
"Tongwei, what's going on?" As soon as the phone was connected, Yu Huabei's questioning voice was heard.
Yu Huabei is an expert in political struggle. Just by gathering a few pieces of information, he realized that it must be Qi Tongwei who was behind this.
Qi Tongwei pretended to be confused, "Secretary Yu, what's going on?"
"Don't play dumb with me, kid. Who told you to arrange for people to crack down on prostitution in Hanjiang Haoting?
I know you're angry, but you can't do this. If other comrades find out, it will only do you harm. Do you understand? "
Qi Tongwei naturally refused to admit it, "Secretary Yu, when did I arrange for people to crack down on pornography? You can't wrongly accuse me."
Yu Huabei said: "You still dare to say that the crackdown on prostitution in Hanjiang Haoting was not arranged by you."
"No! I've never even heard of Hanjiang Mansion, so how could I ask someone to crack down on pornography? Besides, Secretary Yu, what right do I have to ask someone to crack down on pornography?"
"If you don't have power, who does? Don't forget, Tong Wei, that Huang Wei was able to become the Executive Vice Minister because we spoke for him. Do you want me to call him over to confront you? Or should I punish him directly?"
