the world is at stake

The noodle shop is not big, only four or five tables.

If the boss is not busy on weekdays, he will also send a side dish and come over to chat.But today the owner of the noodle shop showed a little nervousness when he saw Zhou Qingfeng, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Zhou, where are you from?"

"Southern people." Zhou Qingfeng chomped on the noodles, unwilling to say more.

"Are you a reporter from the south?" The boss asked with a firm expression, "Did you come to our city for an unannounced visit?"

Zhou Qingfeng scooped up a few noodles and chuckled, "Is it just me who have no brains and still be a reporter? It's not that I can't do it, it's that I'm not the material at all."

This is too self-deprecating.But the boss carefully looked at the young man in front of him, gave a thumbs up and said, "You need a thick skin like you to be a reporter."

Fuck, who are you scolding?

President Zhou didn't even want to eat noodles, so he almost patted the table.

"Little brother, don't be angry." The boss said hastily, "I'm just complimenting you."

Is there anything you can boast about?

Is cheeky a good word?

"I'm just praising you for your good mentality. Mount Tai collapsed in front of your eyes without changing your face." The boss put it another way and gave the thumbs up again.

This sentence sounds nicer, but in connection with the previous sentence, it is still very popular.

"Why do you judge that I'm a reporter?" Zhou Qingfeng was very strange.

The boss lowered his voice, "A few days ago, I talked to you about the leaders of the city, do you still have the impression?"

"I have no impression." Zhou Qingfeng shook his head.

The boss shouted like a big deal: "Just last night, our mayor and the secretary of the municipal party committee were both arrested. The central government came directly and said it was an inspection team. The secretary of the municipal party committee just held a city anti-corruption mobilization meeting, and in the blink of an eye Down."

"What does this have to do with me?" Zhou Qingfeng gave a disdainful 'cut', "I just eat noodles."

The boss gave a thumbs up, "Actor, well done, the unannounced comrade should be like you. Thick-skinned... No, the psychological quality is really good, and the identity is exposed without being surprised."

This still sounds like insulting words.

Zhou Qingfeng didn't want to talk to him, and ate his own noodles in a hurry.This boss has too much imagination.He made up his mind that he would never eat at this noodle shop again.

But the boss refused to let it go, and continued to lower his voice: "Young man, you are actually too young, and you were exposed inadvertently. Do you want to know why I think you are a reporter who came to visit unannounced?"

To be honest, the owner of the noodle shop is so mysterious, Zhou Qingfeng really wanted to know which muscle was wrongly wired, so he couldn't help asking: "What is it?"

This question made the boss overjoyed, and felt that he had more face, as if he was holding a wisdom pearl, and his deep thinking penetrated the final answer.He laughed a few times, and then whispered: "Little brother, you mentioned that the Central Committee will come to inspect the team."

Zhou Qingfeng was stunned.

"Not someone who knows the inside story, how do you know such a secret?" The boss looked extremely proud, "It was the inspection team from above who arrested the corrupt officials in our city. You revealed the news in advance."

Zhou Qingfeng shook his head immediately, "Impossible, the inspection team is only responsible for inspections, and the Disciplinary Committee has to do it to arrest people."

The owner of the noodle shop slapped the table with a 'bang', pointed at Zhou Qingfeng, and shouted ecstatically, "Little brother, how dare you say you don't know the inside story?"

Zhou Qingfeng was even more confused, "Isn't this something everyone knows?"

"Just kidding, how could everyone know about this." The boss retorted.

"I remember last year that the central government publicly stated that it would strengthen anti-corruption work, and sent inspection teams to various ministries, state-owned enterprises, government agencies, and local governments to conduct investigations."

"The central government also said to be 'well-off in an all-round way'. The officials and lords talk nonsense every year. They should not be taken too seriously. I have inquired about it. You haven't done anything serious these days. You just walk around the streets all day looking for people to chat with. .

Can a decent person be like you?

The eyes of the people are discerning, and you are definitely not an ordinary person.You said that the central inspection team came back, and it really came.You said that the corrupt officials in the city were arrested sooner or later, and they were really arrested within three days.

What's next, lad?tell me.I promise not to tell outsiders, God knows, you know me. "The owner of the noodle shop has an expression of 'I'm strict with my mouth, don't worry'.

Zhou Qingfeng continued to gorge on the noodles in annoyance, and killed two catties of stewed beef like a storm, and complained while eating: "I also said that a black man can be the president of the United States, do you believe it?"

The owner of the noodle shop shook his head, "Young man, you are just talking nonsense. How could a black man be the president of the United States? The status of black people in the United States is very low. Only when Americans are blind will they elect a black man as president. .”

Zhou Qingfeng smiled 'hehehe', satiated, paid the bill and left.

Chapter 63 How Dare You Say You Are Not an Imperial Envoy?

Leave the noodle shop and walk blindly along the street.

Someone was setting off firecrackers on the side of the road, and the surrounding people were in high spirits.

Thinking that it is not a year or a festival, I thought it was a celebration of the opening of a new store, so I went up and asked-to celebrate the rise in oil prices?

Zhou Qingfeng couldn't figure it out, wondering why people in Northeast China have this custom?Others hope to fall, they hope to rise.

After waiting for two blocks, he suddenly realized, and burst out laughing again—he was being tricked, which was obviously celebrating the arrest of corrupt officials.

It took a year and a half for the 'party and government' to stabilize the situation, borrowing a lot of practical experience after 20 years as a reference to revise the policy.That's why he didn't allow Zhou Qingfeng to mess around anymore.

The status of the Commission for Discipline Inspection has been elevated, its power has been strengthened, and it has KPI tasks.The Internet police are on duty, public opinion is supervised, and the Internet is preparing for a rainy day to engage in real names.

Government information must be made public, the scale of examinations for civil servants must be increased, and officials must have professional capabilities.In addition, the anti-crime and evil under the umbrella, anti-corruption investigation for 20 years.

All of these things are difficult, and they are all jobs that smash the jobs of 'vested interests'.

The mere "20-year backward investigation" can make many bureaucrats jump their feet and resist in secret.It was also thanks to Zhou Qingfeng hitting the skull with an iron hammer, at least he knocked out a lot of 'death-free gold medals' and knocked out high-level resistance.

But what about the middle and lower levels?There are a lot of petty officials and big corrupt officials, and small flies and cockroaches are everywhere, but an iron hammer can't knock them out.

According to the saying of "engaging in the party and government", the comprehensive anti-corruption still depends on the organization, and it will take more than five years to see the effect, and it will be stable after more than ten years.

The Northeast will be the focus of this reform.There are many reasons for its decline, but the root cause is the collapse of the bureaucracy, the collapse of the grassroots, and the disappearance of the role of the party.

This situation is not only in the Northeast, but also in the whole country.It is not only serious in the Northeast, but also in the whole country.

It's just that the more glorious the Northeast has been, the more glaring the decline.The heavier the psychological burden, the more nostalgic the past and unwillingness to face the reality-talking about relationships, going through the back door, and entering the system have been firmly engraved in the thinking of many Northeast officials.

The country wants to revitalize the Northeast, facing a rotten bureaucratic system, the mentality of "investment is not worth Shanhaiguan", and the stubborn "Snow Villages", facing many difficulties.

Fortunately, China is a big place.The Northeast is failing, and other places can take the lead. Otherwise, what is the national rejuvenation?

State-owned enterprises can still be reorganized and rebuilt if they collapse. However, the tens of millions of industrial workers in the Northeast are hard-won and have been cultivated and accumulated by the state for decades. It would be a huge loss if they were allowed to collapse.

Now...it's never too late to make up for it.It's better to start after more than ten years.

The more Zhou Qingfeng thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. The sound of firecrackers on the road was also festive, and he felt much happier.

Another day passed, and he continued to wander around the city. When returning to the hotel, he passed by the noodle restaurant from yesterday.He deliberately walked around the noodle shop, but the noodle shop owner squatted on him on the road.

"Xiao Zhou, Xiao Zhou." The owner of the noodle shop rushed over, grabbed Zhou Qingfeng's hand and dragged him towards his small shop, "A few friends want to meet you and let you know the situation."

What……?

The noodle shop was closed today, there were seven or eight people staring at Zhou Qingfeng, men, women, young and old, all looking bitter.Seeing that he was very enthusiastic, everyone pushed the four dining tables together and specially reserved them for the table.

Zhou Qingfeng was almost dizzy, "Why are you looking for me?"

"These are people who have difficulties at home, and I hope to find a channel to report the situation." The owner of the noodle shop pushed Zhou Qingfeng forward, "This is also my job to assist you."

"But I'm really not a reporter, and I'm not here to make unannounced visits. I'm just waiting to die, I have a little money, and I like to visit the mountains and rivers of my motherland. Isn't that okay?"

Zhou Qingfeng spread his hands, "If you have any difficulties, you should contact the government. I really can't help you."

The incandescent lights were on in the noodle restaurant, and seven or eight pairs of eyes quietly looked at Zhou Qingfeng who was eager to get away.

The owner of the noodle shop pressed his hands, signaling to everyone not to worry, and said to Zhou Qingfeng: "Xiao Zhou, there are no outsiders here. They are really ordinary people, and I just want to ask you for a favor."

"Why do you still think I'm a reporter? Have you ever seen such an incomprehensible reporter like me?" Zhou Qingfeng stood loosely, trying his best to look like a rascal.

But the owner of the noodle shop whispered: "Xiao Zhou, really don't act. I have a friend in the telecommunications bureau. I asked about it yesterday. You called Didu every day."

Zhou Qingfeng jumped up and said anxiously: "You guys are so bold, how dare you monitor my phone?"

The owner of the noodle shop quickly waved his hands, "Xiao Zhou, don't get me wrong, I didn't listen." He turned his head and explained to everyone in the noodle shop, "See? This Xiao Zhou is very capable, and he has a direct relationship with the imperial capital."

Everyone's stiff faces squeezed out flattering smiles, and everyone laughed.

Zhou Qingfeng had to call Qin Qing or Xiao Jinlang on time every night to report his safety, and he also had to chat with Yilan about the group's situation.He basically uses his mobile phone, and occasionally the phone runs out of battery, so he uses the hotel phone.

The number dialed is nothing special, but the area code cannot be changed.

The owner of the noodle shop brought in a greasy bench.Zhou Qingfeng still shook his head after sitting down, "I really can't help you. My woman works in the imperial capital, so I have to call her every day, it's normal."

The owner of the noodle shop brought in a seven or eight-year-old girl.She had pigtails, a thin face, and tears that hadn't been wiped dry in her eyes, so Zhou Qingfeng fell to her knees when she came here.

"Don't, get up." Zhou Qingfeng stretched out his hand to pull.

The owner of the noodle shop quickly shouted to the little girl: "Girl, don't get up. You won't be able to save your father if you get up."

How strong can a little girl be?Zhou Qingfeng exerted a little strength, and she got up.But as soon as her knees left the ground, she immediately burst into tears.

Zhou Qingfeng really didn't know what to do, he squatted on the dirty floor of the restaurant, and sighed: "Girl, if you have anything to say, don't kneel down. You are so small, and you are crying, I really can't stand it!"

The little girl cried while talking, intermittently and slurring her words. It was only by the owner of the noodle shop next to her that she could understand the matter.

In fact, the fact is very simple, the child is a single parent.Her father fell out with a real estate owner in the city because the compensation for the demolition was not in place, and was sent to the hospital.Now that the family wealth is exhausted, there is no way to appeal.

There are countless similar things at present.A village is full of trivial and trivial things, let alone a city.

Zhou Qingfeng's head got dizzy when he heard it, he looked at the other people in the noodle shop, and asked, "You all have the same thing?"

Everyone in the noodle restaurant rushed to make a sound, and within a short while they were crying at the top of their throats, and the clouds filled the air every minute, and the mourning was loud.All kinds of human tragedies poured into Zhou Qingfeng's mind like dirty water from a sewer.

Zhou Qingfeng became impatient to listen for a while, turned to look at the little girl in front of him, sighed and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

The little girl shook her head pitifully.

"Boss, make a bowl of noodles and add more meat and eggs. The children are hungry."

The owner of the noodle shop hurried forward and asked, "Xiao Zhou, how about some more bowls?"

Zhou Qingfeng wanted to say that he was not hungry, but found the noodle shop owner pointing at the other people who were crying.He sighed weakly and said, "You guys are here to eat the big family. All right, I'll treat you, and you can eat as many bowls as you want."

The owner of the noodle shop was overjoyed, his small shop was just a couple, and recently they relied on Zhou Qingfeng to maintain their business.As soon as the young rich man opened his mouth, the boss immediately cooked noodles, cut meat and fried eggs for everyone in the store according to his usual requirements.

Although it is not open today, it makes a lot of money.

Zhou Qingfeng sat at the table, resting his head on his hands angrily, watching the thin little girl eat the noodles bite by bite.This child is quite obedient, he can do whatever he wants, sits on the stool when he is full, and doesn't cry anymore.

But Zhou Qingfeng really couldn't control such messy things, he couldn't even distinguish the root cause.There are two or three who are obviously a little messy, which is offensive.

After eating the noodles, the few who looked particularly miserable received a few hundred yuan in relief, and left crying.Only the little girl, Zhou Qingfeng scratched his head, bought a bunch of snacks and toys, and sent her home.

When I got home, I saw that it was a dilapidated tube building. The father of the child was lying on the bed and couldn't get up. There was no one else.Zhou Qingfeng pretended that the government was here to provide assistance, and went downstairs to buy some rice, flour, grain and oil to send over.

When he entered the house again, the neighbors showed up to complain.Why can't I find a job, can't pay the heating bill, the pension is delayed, and the hooligans are rampant.

Five or six neighbors surrounded Zhou Qingfeng and refused to let him go, insisting on reporting the situation to this little comrade from the government.

Zhou Qingfeng was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, he was busy leaving 5000 yuan to the little girl's father, asking him to hire a neighbor aunt to take care of him, and trying to get the child to go to school.

By the time Zhou Qingfeng managed to escape, it was already eleven o'clock at night.Qin Qing called his mobile phone and asked, "Why didn't you call on time tonight? We are all worried that something will happen to you."

Alas... Zhou Qingfeng found a curb to sit down helplessly, and talked weakly about what happened today, especially seeing the little girl's so obedient and numb face, he felt very uncomfortable.

"Tell me the specific situation, and I'll record it." Qin Qing's voice was as calm as ever, without panic.

There are many women around Zhou Qingfeng, but the closest ones are Yilan and Qin Qing.On weekdays, he would like to tell Yilan whenever he had any weird thoughts.But when encountering a messy situation, Qin Qing, who is always calm, can give him enough comfort.

"Actually, it's a common situation in demolition. The demolition households feel that they don't have enough money, so the real estate developers hire hooligans to do it. The victims have nowhere to ask, and the onlookers vent all their responsibilities and negative emotions to the government."

Zhou Qingfeng told what he knew, including some rumors and some personal names.As he spoke, he could hear Qin Qing on the other end of the phone typing on the keyboard in front of the computer to record.

The call was terminated when the phone ran out of battery.The two said good night, and Zhou Qingfeng stopped a night taxi and went back to the hotel.In the next few days, he didn't even go out, just lying flat in the hotel.

But lying down is not enough, and people still come to the door.

Early in the morning, there was a knock on the door of the hotel room. Zhou Qingfeng got up lazily, thinking it was the hotel attendant who came to do the cleaning.

But as soon as the door opened, there was the face of the noodle shop owner with an exaggerated smile.The other party stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Qingfeng's arms, and shouted with uncontrollable joy, "My boy, how dare you say that you are not an imperial envoy?"

Chapter 64

The owner of the noodle shop brought a local newspaper with the headline "Anti-corruption is on the way, cracking down on gangsters has achieved results."The general content is the recent publicized cases in Changchun.

"Now the common people in the city are talking nonsense, saying that the leaders of the city have joined forces in the prison." The owner of the noodle shop pointed to a list of official positions and names in the newspaper, and laughed.

About half a month ago, the mayor and the secretary of the municipal party committee finished the anti-corruption mobilization meeting and went in.Yesterday, the director of the National People's Congress and the chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference also held a meeting to convey the spirit of the Central Committee, and they were taken away from the meeting place.

And half a year earlier, more than [-] officials, including the secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, the president of the court, the president of the procuratorate, and the chief of the public security bureau, all went in.Many of them have been retired for many years and were also brought out.

In the past, when cadres retired, they would enter the "safety box", and they would no longer be held accountable for problems.Now it is really different from the past, you can check the low.

However, the Northeast is extremely powerful, and there have been underworld gangs since the 80s.The famous "Joe Four" even dared to overtake the car of the Standing Committee of the Imperial Capital.

The evil forces have been operating for many years. They collude with officials or are officials themselves, and they become local bullies. It is not easy to completely eliminate them.

Zhou Qingfeng glanced at the names of several people in the newspaper, not including the one he talked about with Qin Qing a few days ago, so he shook his head and said, "This is a normal anti-corruption work, and it has nothing to do with me."
