Section 76: Sensation

Pan Qiao was pushed back by Zhao Guodong's words. She had already said something to her mouth, but she opened her mouth but didn't say it.

Zhao Guodong ignored the other party and packed the things on the desk by himself. This attitude made Pan Qiao feel very uncomfortable.

"Secretary Zhao, actually, I don't think it's a bad thing to interview you from CCTV and newspaper reporters. And I guess even if you can withstand the pressure in the city and not accept the interview, you will still have to accept the interview arrangement when the province's call is made." Pan Qiao calmed down and slowly calmed down.

"Oh? Not a bad thing?" Zhao Guodong glanced at the other party. Seeing that the other party was calm and had no other expression, he felt a little relieved. He pondered for a while before saying, "Pan Qiao, what do you know? Perhaps in the eyes of some people, this is a rare opportunity to gain the appreciation and attention of the leaders, but I don't want to sacrifice my own private living space to get such a pitiful attention. Do you understand?"

"Secretary Zhao, I can understand your concerns, but you are a first-level leader. You also know that the situation of flood control and disaster relief in Ningling this time is not optimistic. To be precise, the province and even the central government are not very satisfied with the progress of our rescue and disaster relief work. In this case, how to establish a glorious image or a bright spot is probably very necessary for Ningling City to Anyuan Province. This is my understanding." Pan Qiao smiled slightly and showed her teeth. "I guess the province also needs to use you as a typical example to support the lintel. The same is true in the city, so it is probably difficult for you to refuse. Even if you really refuse the interview, they will eventually report on your own self-sacrifice to save others through other channels."

Pan Qiao's words immediately made Zhao Guodong look at this woman with admiration. In the past, he had more contact with Peng Yuanhou and Wang Limei, and when he had more contact with Pan Qiao, he had Peng Yuanhou or Gui Quanyou. He had basically never had such a single contact and conversation. However, this sentence made Zhao Guodong's impression of Pan Qiao suddenly became much deeper.

"Well, it seems to make some sense, but how they report it is their business. I also know that I cannot and have no right to interfere, but I have the right to decide whether to accept an interview, right?" Zhao Guodong tilted his head slightly, leaned in the chair of the senior class, playing with the signature pen in his hand and staring at the other party.

Pan Qiao was a little panicked under the burning gaze of the other party, but she also knew that she had successfully won the other party's attention. The first impression had been deeply imprinted into the other party's mind. Now it was the time to take advantage of the heat to strike.

"Secretary Zhao, you are a first-level leading cadre, not an ordinary citizen or an ordinary Communist Party member. That is to say, if political needs are required, you must obey the overall situation." Pan Qiao said boldly: "I don't think you will affect the overall image of our Ningling and even Anyuan this time of disaster relief for this reason. Besides, I personally think that if handled properly, it may not have much impact on your private life."

"Oh?" Zhao Guodong smiled like a playful smile, his eyes were so bright, and the smile on his lips seemed to have a little more indescribable weird charm. "It's so important for me to accept an interview, which will affect the overall impression of emergency rescue and disaster relief in Ningling and even the whole province? Pan Qiao, I think your mouth is really a coincidence, it can make the dead live. What do you think will not have a big impact on my private life?"

"I'm thinking"...Pan Qiao was about to continue speaking, the phone on Zhao Guodong's desk rang. Zhao Guodong picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID. He gave Pan Qiao a gesture to silence, and then answered the phone.

"Hello, Minister Han. Yes, have you reported to Secretary Ning? Uh, I conveyed Secretary Ning's meaning and your personal opinions. I listened attentively. Yes, I know, thank you Minister Han for your concern,..."

Pan Qiao pretended to be inadvertent on the surface, but she quietly pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the conversation on Zhao Guodong on the phone.

Minister Han? Pan Qiao quickly searched whether there were any ministers surnamed Han among the city leaders. It is definitely impossible for Zhao Guodong to act like this. Except for the two main leaders in the city, no one seems to be able to let him do this. Then he can only be the provincial leader. Minister Han, is he a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda Han Du?

While thinking about it, he heard Zhao Guodong mention the word Secretary Ning, Secretary Ning, who else can there be Secretary Ning in Anyuan Province? Besides Ning Fa, the provincial party secretary? Pan Qiao was even more frightened.

"Minister Han, thank you for your understanding. What I worry most is the misunderstanding of me by the leader. Since Secretary Ning and you can understand my difficulties, of course I have nothing to say. Whatever you arrange, I will do. However, Minister Han, we have something to say first. I don't want my positive image to be directly on TV. This requirement is not too much, right? It's nothing, I just don't want to go to the streets and become like a national treasure panda. Haha, thank you Minister Han. When I finish my work here, I will invite Minister Han to enjoy the scenery after I go back to An...."

Pan Qiao was almost certain that the other side of the phone was the relationship between Han Du, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Minister of Propaganda, and Zhao Guodong and Han Du made her very curious.

The conversation between the other party and Han Du on the phone was not like that between the pure conversation between superiors and subordinates. Zhao Guodong was not quite good at talking about the real superiors and subordinates. Compared with Han Du, who is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda, Zhao Guodong's weight is undoubtedly much worse. However, Zhao Guodong can chat and laugh with the other party in a very natural and easy-going manner, and even say a few jokes in a half-joking manner, which made Pan Qiao puzzled the relationship between him and Han Du.

Pan Qiao felt that Zhao Guodong felt much better after putting down the phone, and his attitude towards him became more friendly. He also muttered in his heart what Minister Han said to Secretary Zhao on the phone so that Secretary Zhao's emotions could be reversed all of a sudden.

"Secretary Zhao, I..." Pan Qiao was about to say something again, but was interrupted by Zhao Guodong with a smile: "Okay, my Minister Pan, I can understand what you mean. Well, it seems that I can't get rid of the shackles imposed on me by you. Minister Han from the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee just called me and asked me to obey the overall situation and serve the overall situation. I was in tears."

"Secretary Zhao, I think you don't feel bad as if you were in that situation. On the contrary, I feel like you have opened a knot in your heart." Pan Qiao also tried to liven up the atmosphere. Just as Peng Yuanhou reminded himself, Zhao Guodong did not like the old-fashioned and conservative working atmosphere. Whether it was work or conversation, he preferred a more casual and relaxed atmosphere. Pan Qiao knew that since she could not change this, she had to learn to adapt to this.

Zhao Guodong admired the other party with a delicate and clever mind. It seemed that the two deputy ministers of the Propaganda Department of the Xijiang District Party Committee were both smart and smart people. However, Peng Yuanhou, the minister, was very old-fashioned and square, and he didn't know how they worked together with the two of them.

"Haha, Pan Qiao, your judgment is very accurate. I have to succumb to pressure and agree to the interview. You go to Lao Peng to report to Mao Ping, saying that I obey the unified arrangements of the municipal party committee, but it is best not to let me appear directly in front of the camera, or if you really want to pose, it is better to be sideways, blurred, and have that meaning. Anyway, they have taken the situation in the river. These are just auxiliary plots. As for the interview content? As long as it does not involve my private situation, I can answer it at the discretion." Zhao Guodong finally let go and made Pan Qiao overjoyed.

The province's "Special Report on Fighting for Extreme Flood Attack" appeared in front of the majority of TV viewers in CCTV News' "Oriental Time and Space". However, Zhao Guodong's glorious image only appeared as an ordinary party member in the provincial special report. In "Oriental Time and Space", it reproduced the situation of Zhao Guodong and the four of them saving the mother and daughter who fell into the water in a very detailed editing clip, and also interviewed the parties involved and the rescued person. This meticulous clip immediately caused a considerable shock across the country.

Guangming Daily also introduced such a touching deed with a special topic. The writing style is quite good, and the whole story is portrayed vividly through the plot. Even Zhao Guodong himself had to admit that even the person involved did not have the author of this article's details of this matter so detailed.

Cai Zhengyang, Liu Yan and even Lei Xiangdong and many friends and classmates in Andu called over and asked about Zhao Guodong's specific situation. Zhao Guodong had to repeat the same introduction countless times every day, which made him a little insensitive and painful.

At this time, Zhao Guodong had no choice but to pray that people would be forgotten and forget this detail as soon as possible. He really did not want to dedicate his so-called "high party member image" to the general public because of such a thing. In the words of Zhao Guodong's self-mockery, he was still far from the requirement of a truly pure party member. If he really wanted to put himself in the sun and observe with a magnifying glass, he might not find countless flaws on his body.

However, it seems that the memory and excitement of the people at this time were still difficult to fade. Three days later, Zhao Guodong's "great achievements" were still widely circulated, even far exceeding the previous efforts of Zhao Guodong to save tens of thousands of people in the southern part of Xijiang District from being poisoned by the flood, which made Zhao Guodong quite disappointed.
