Qin Shishu's implication is very obvious. It is better to be in charge of county officials now. Southern Weekly is directly under the supervision of the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department. Although you, the executive vice governor, are also a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, your hands are too long. I have no reason not to listen to your immediate superiors, but instead listen to your greetings.
Duan Zetao frowned. Strictly speaking, the editor-in-chief of newspapers like Qin Shishu is no longer a pure media person, but more like a politician. It is not surprising that he would have such an idea.
Zhang Jingxian looked at Duan Zetao on the phone, and when he saw that he had finished calling, his face turned cold. If even Duan Zetao, the executive vice governor, didn't work, then his report would definitely not be able to be posted. He said a little discouraged: "Brother Tao, it seems that my report was written in vain. My original idea was still too naive. Maybe I am really not suitable to be a reporter..."
Duan Zetao's eyes flashed with a flash, and he waved his hand hard and said, "Jingxian, if you think this way, you are wrong. As long as it is correct, you must persist. I believe that as long as it is a truly conscience and responsibility media, you will definitely dare to publish your article! I will think of another way!..."
As he said that, Duan Zetao picked up the phone again. This time he called Shi Tao, and wanted to ask if he had any familiar media friends in Yuezhou dared to publish this report. Shi Tao was very happy to receive the call from Duan Zetao and said carelessly: "Zetao, you have been promoted again. You can find Xie Na for this matter. She is in Yuezhou now!..."
"Ah! Xie Na is in Yuezhou? When did she resign from Jiangnan Metropolis Daily?! Why didn't I know?!..." Duan Zetao said in surprise.
"Oh, I've been there for several years. She divorced just one year after marriage. I guess she wanted to change the environment. She is now the executive deputy editor-in-chief of Southern Weekly. I heard that she is doing well. Zetao, it's not me who said you, you're really a little sorry for Xie Na. Please comfort her if you have time. Forget it, outsiders have no say in this kind of thing..." Shi Tao sighed. He and Xie Na met when Duan Zetao was the deputy town chief. They also have some understanding of the emotional entanglement between Xie Na and Duan Zetao. Xie Na divorced after marriage for one year, obviously she still can't forget Duan Zetao.
Duan Zetao was confused. He naturally knew Xie Na’s feelings for him and had always felt deeply guilty towards Xie Na. However, he couldn’t repay his love debt in the next life. How could he dare to provoke Xie Na again? Should we ask Xie Na for help in this matter?
When Zhang Jingxian saw Duan Zetao making a phone call, she was stunned. She reached out to her hand and shook it in front of him. Duan Zetao then came to her senses and asked hesitantly: "Does there any executive deputy editor-in-chief named Xie in your newspaper?!..."
"Mr. Xie, she is our executive deputy editor-in-chief and chief reporter. She is my idol. Many influential manuscripts in our newspaper are written by her, which is super sharp! However, she rarely works in newspapers, and she always works in interviews and writes articles outside. She doesn't speak much when she comes. She is very serious. We intern reporters are a little afraid of her. Yes, why didn't I think of finding her? She is famous and upright and dares to write! I heard that she had a quarrel with Mr. Qin at the editor-in-chief's office meeting for a few more sensitive manuscripts! I'll call her now!..." Zhang Jingxian excitedly waved her pink fist.
Before Duan Zetao could stop it, Zhang Jingxian had already taken out her cell phone and dialed Xie Na's phone number. Xie Na's reaction on the other end of the phone was a bit dull. She just asked Zhang Jingxian to send the manuscript to her email address. She looked at it before talking, and Zhang Jingxian was a little disappointed. At this time, Duan Zetao suddenly stretched out his hand and said with a complicated expression: "Give me the phone number, I'll tell her..."
Xie Na suddenly heard Duan Zetao's voice and was stunned for a moment. After a while, she was silent for a while before she tried her best to pretend to be calm: "There is a coffee in the island not far from our newspaper. Xiao Zhang knows the place. Let's meet there in an hour, and we will talk about it again when we meet..."
At this time, Zhang Jingxian also saw that Duan Zetao and Xie Na's relationship was probably unusual, her face slightly darkened, and she said awkwardly: "It turns out that Brother Tao, you know us Mr. Xie. If you had known it, you would have called this phone number..."
When I saw Xie Na again, she had not changed much from before, and was still so beautiful. The years had left no traces on her body. A black long skirt made her look more and more pretty, and she had a little cool and calm temperament. Her pair of oversized sunglasses covered her face half, and there was no expression. When I saw Duan Zetao, I just nodded lightly and sat down opposite him, but the slightly trembling shoulders betrayed her mood.
Since Xie Na deliberately kept a distance from her, Duan Zetao was not good at acting too enthusiastic. He nodded awkwardly, then told the matter straight to the point, and asked Zhang Jingxian to show the printed manuscript to Xie Na.
Xie Na took the manuscript and read it carefully, folded it up and put it in her small bag, and said lightly: "The manuscript is good, leave it to me for this matter, and you will be in the newspaper tomorrow..."
Duan Zetao asked in surprise: "I will be in the newspaper tomorrow?! Which newspaper are you going to post to?!..."
"I'll publish our Southern Weekly. Tomorrow is the publishing day of our newspaper. Qin Shishu went to the meeting. I am the editor-in-chief on duty. In the afternoon, I will remove one of my manuscripts before printing and replace them with..." Xie Na said lightly.
"Ye! Mr. Xie is majestic and domineering! He is really worthy of being my idol!..." Zhang Jingxian looked at Xie Na with admiration and excitedly waved her pink fist.
Duan Zetao looked at Xie Na in surprise. Although he was not a person in the media circle, he knew that Xie Na would undoubtedly take great risks in doing so. He hurriedly said: "How can this be done? You will definitely be punished if you do this. No, I'd better find another way!..."
"I'm not afraid of punishment. At worst, I'll be dismissed. As a reporter, if I can't report the truth of the incident and can't say what I want to say, then I'd better not be the executive deputy editor-in-chief!..." Xie Na smiled slightly.
"This...this, this, Alas, Xie Na, I'm so sorry, I'm causing you another trouble..." Duan Zetao looked at Xie Na with some confusion and said guiltily.
"I'm not doing this to help you, but I want to be worthy of a reporter's conscience and professional ethics, so you don't have to feel guilty. Well, I'm going to change the layout before printing in the printing factory, and leave first!" As he said that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Duan Zetao also stood up, opened his mouth to call Xie Na, but finally came to his mouth but turned into a very unnutritious word, "Xie Na, thank you!" Xie Na paused for a moment, but did not look back, and said a little sadly: "Do we still say thank you?" After that, he waved his back to Duan Zetao and left with great freedom.
