Chapter 31 Counterattack in the Workplace
Because of this battle, Bei Xiaomo became a popular figure in the eyes of Wang Shiren.
Half a month later, Jiangnan Express held a meeting of middle-level cadres.
"I don't know how to call you dad!" Wang Shiren slammed his palm on the table and made up his mind, "I'm going to counterattack!"
Mr. Wang was very excited and used a lot of force. The conference table shook violently under his palm, causing many people who couldn't help but doze off during the nearly two-hour meeting to quickly open their eyelids.
.
His eyes repeatedly rested on Bei Xiaomo, who was sitting in the corner. He had an expression that only a gambler could see, as if he was betting all his money.
The department directors, chief editors, and chief reporters sitting around also glanced at Bei Xiaomo from the corner of their eyes, with many indescribable expressions in their eyes.
This is the first time that Bei Xiaomo has the honor to attend a meeting of middle-level and above-level cadres of a newspaper. I say he is honored because he is very prominent and eye-catching at this meeting.
This is not just because Bei Xiaomo is handsome and is the center of attention for girls wherever he goes, making men hate him for jealousy, but because his identity is unique.
Bei Xiaomo is the most junior reporter at the newspaper. Oh, I'm not sure exactly. He should be called a trainee reporter.
The attendees were all working seniors who had worked hard at newspapers for more than ten or even decades. Most of them who could reach the position of middle-level cadres were already over 40 years old.
Bei Xiaomo, who is in his early twenties, a trainee reporter who has not yet become a full-time reporter, is sitting here, like a chicken that has crawled into the phoenix's nest.
And precisely, Bei Xiaomo was the only person who never had a fight in the nearly two-hour meeting. He nodded with approval to the speeches of the editor-in-chief Wang Shiren from time to time, and took a pen to write in his notebook.
What is written.
"A hundred articles of praise are not worth one critical report." Wang Shiren once again glanced at everyone present with an unquestionable gaze. He made a chopping motion with his palm and shouted, "Many people are not candles."
Can’t light up.”
Wang Shiren lost his temper today. His temper came from Huachang Gas Company's "no way".
"We negotiated an advertisement worth five million yuan, but in the end it was transferred to Modern Times." Wang Shiren's eyes were filled with blood, and his saliva was flying. "Tell me, why exactly?"
Everyone cheered up. Just because they didn't say anything didn't mean they had no opinions. Their opinions were surprisingly unanimous, that is, "I'd like to hear the details, and I'm all ears."
"Modern Times grabbed their pigtails and published a report that beat them hard." Wang Shiren's face was full of resentment. He first made an oath gesture with his right hand, and then moved forward with force.
He said, "We can't just be good people. Good people don't get rewarded!"
Bei Xiaomo nodded again in the audience, which seemed to arouse Wang Shiren's passion again. He simply stood up, scanned the audience with majestic eyes, and said loudly and grandly, "We are going to set up an in-depth investigation department, just to do this.
Criticize the report! Who do you think is the most suitable person to be the director of this department?”
Jiangnan Express has long adhered to the newspaper-running style of making friends without causing trouble. It has always lived in peace with all parties and has a knack for digging out gossip. Except this time when it was forced by the Public Security Bureau to counterattack, it has never published a criticism before.
reported.
Therefore, there are only five or six departments in the newspaper, including the advertising department, which have never been touched.
Now, as soon as I heard that a new department was to be established and a new department director was to be promoted, the chief editors and chief reporters immediately sat upright without even dozing off.
You know, their service years are enough to be the level of department directors, but there are people in various departments occupying the pits and it is not their turn to squat.
Even if it is your turn in terms of seniority, you will have to get out after only a few days. Jiangnan Express is an iron-clad camp with iron-clad soldiers, and it has not received much fresh blood in more than ten years.
The purpose of setting up the so-called chief reporter and chief editor is to ease the emotions of these "old people", give them a status, and enjoy the treatment of middle-level cadres.
Now that there was such a new pit, everyone stretched out their necks as if they had been beaten to death. They wanted to put their necks under Wang Shiren's hand and let him call his name directly.
The department directors also held their breath, hoping that someone on the same side as them would be promoted.
In the newspaper office, it is very necessary to form cliques. There is strength in numbers. Which faction has the most mouths can directly influence the opinions of Wang Shiren.
Doesn't the opinion that influences him represent the interests of his own faction?
Who will he choose? Everyone's eyes are fixed on Wang Shiren.
The only exception was Bei Xiaomo. He knew that his level was not high enough. Even when he was called to this meeting, he had been wondering whether Wang Shiren had called the wrong name or whether he had made some mistake.
Wang Shiren's eyes directly ignored the department directors, chief editors and chief reporters, and landed on Bei Xiaomo, who was lowering his head and taking notes.
"Bei Xiaomo!" Wang Shiren called.
"Ah?" Bei Xiaomo was called unexpectedly. He stood up in a panic and dropped the pen and paper in his hand to the ground.
Everyone looked at him with contempt.
"You will be the director of this department!" Wang Shiren's unexpected words shocked the entire audience.
Bei Xiaomo looked like he was falling into the clouds, his mouth opened into a big O shape, "Me?..."
"Yes, that's you!" Wang Shiren scanned the audience again and asked, "Who has any different opinions?"
…
"No way, he's still a newcomer..." someone muttered softly.
"That's right, I'm still an intern..."
"What kind of rule is this? It's not his turn based on seniority?"
"What do you mean? This guy has a background?"
Someone raised his head and everyone responded. They are the united front. How can they tolerate a young boy pushing in?
The one who jumped the most was undoubtedly Jiang Ziyan, director of the Department of Social Affairs and Law where Bei Xiaomo worked. She simply stood up and said sternly, "Indeed, Bei Xiaomo is the best among all the interns, and it is true that he wrote
He has written many good manuscripts, but most of them were reviewed and revised by the editor and I, so it was a bit inappropriate for him to be the department director."
Hearing Jiang Ziyan's attack, Bei Xiaomo's heart moved. Anyone who made an attack on him would be regarded as human nature, but she, Jiang Ziyan, would definitely be plotting her words.
But Bei Xiaomo's cleverness lies in the fact that I don't speak and let Wang Shiren speak. Since he has decided to nominate himself as the director of this department, it can be seen that he has thought about it again and again, and no one else can change his mind.
"Have you finished talking?" Wang Shiren looked at everyone with disdain. He was obviously very unhappy. For these self-righteous guys, he felt that using Bei Xiaomo, a newcomer, to humiliate them was a very good choice.
"Then let me ask, who of you dares to get into the pile of dead people and count the bodies?" Wang Shiren sneered, "There is a car accident right now. Who of you can get into the morgue and help me take photos of the dead people?"
There was a sudden silence down there.
Speaking of courage, if you lend ten more courages to these middle-level cadres, they will not be able to compare with Bei Xiaomo.
Just the day before yesterday, a vicious poisoning incident occurred in Nanhua City. The official held a press conference and said that three people had died. No reporter believed it, but they all issued press releases in accordance with the official tone.
Only Bei Xiaomo did not believe in evil. Before publishing this article, he suddenly found the hospital where poisoned people were rescued, sneaked into the morgue, and opened the corpses to inspect them.
One characteristic of those who died from poisoning is that their faces turn blue, and when you open your eyes, you can see a layer of purple-black water covering the eyeballs.
Bei Xiaomo counted 12 corpses in total and took a close-up of each corpse.
After the report came out, Jiangnan Express shocked the whole city. Under the pressure of public opinion, the officials could no longer hide the truth. They honestly came out and confirmed, "It was finally confirmed that the death toll from this poisoning incident was 12."
For this report made by Bei Xiaomo, not only everyone in the newspaper office had nothing but respect for him, all colleagues in the press also worshiped him. Modern Times, the old enemy of Jiangnan Express, was already busy and was preparing to take down the report at all costs.
He brought them under his command.
If department directors were selected based on courage, Bei Xiaomo deserved it. Everyone shut up, after all, this was not a competition of the same level.
Going to see dead people? And taking pictures? Hey, I’m afraid! I won’t go!
Seeing that everyone was silent, Wang Shiren said again, "Whether Bei Xiaomo's manuscript was revised by someone else? I don't know about the past reports, but this report on the poisoning incident also included the manuscript by the director of public security.
, but he wrote it while sitting in my office."
Wang Shiren glanced at Jiang Ziyan meaningfully and said, "I remember that these two manuscripts were published in full, without even a single punctuation mark being changed."
Jiang Ziyan lowered her head and said nothing. It was the wisest thing to keep silent at this time. As long as she shut up, for the sake of her husband's face, Mr. Wang would not pursue her anymore.
Seeing everyone looking down and out like a defeated rooster, Mr. Wang snorted and motioned to Chen Yiqiang, the deputy editor in charge of news, to speak.
Chen Yiqiang didn't waste any time, picked up a piece of paper and read, "According to the resolution of the newspaper's editorial board, Comrade Bei Xiaomo is appointed as the director of the in-depth investigative news department of this newspaper."
It turned out that I had been prepared for it! Everyone didn’t dare to fart again and clapped obediently as a routine. Of course, these eyes, these eyes were really fucking uncomfortable!
After the meeting, a new office was immediately vacated for Bei Xiaomo's in-depth investigation department.
Department staff were left to Bei Xiaomo to choose. Wang Shiren said, "If there are no suitable people in the newspaper office, you can recruit them from the society, and you have full authority to handle everything."
Before she came out from the Ministry of Social Affairs and Law after cleaning up her belongings, Jiang Ziyan stood by and looked at him with a nonchalant look.
Seeing that Bei Xiaomo was about to leave, Jiang Ziyan stepped forward and said in a sarcastic tone, "Congratulations, Director Bei, you are now a popular person in Mr. Wang's eyes. Please take more care of me in the future."
"Where?" Bei Xiaomo sneered, "You, Director Jiang, have always taken care of me, how dare I."
"When you become a leader, you must learn to be more generous." Jiang Ziyan snorted. At this time, she wished that Bei Xiaomo would choke to death even if he took a sip of cold water, but she said unforgivingly: "The difficulties will become more and more difficult in the future.
The more you do, be careful."
Bei Xiaomo knew that this was provoking him, so he immediately turned around, took a step forward, faced Jiang Ziyan one centimeter away, and said softly with a smile: "No matter how many difficulties there are, I will stay here."
The semen on your body.”
"You!" Jiang Ziyan became angry on the spot, waved her hands angrily, turned around and walked towards her office.
Bei Xiaomo looked at Jiang Ziyan's back coldly, feeling sad in his heart.
Chapter completed!
