Chapter 23 Hedong Earthquake

Xiangbei was still immersed in the family joy of the three-person world. Little did he know that his report on the land acquisition conflict in Luohe Village was not only exploding online, but also its influence in the real world has also fermented rapidly.

Since the Internet became popular in China in the late 1990s, its impact on life has become increasingly obvious, especially in the public field, where any event is no longer a secret to being controlled by others. From this point of view alone, its contribution is no less than the four great inventions of ancient times.

The emergence of mobile Internet has made this effect amplified geometrically.

After the homepage of several major domestic portal websites was pushed, the number of comments on this news reached millions, and once reached the top spot on the hot search list. What netizens are paying attention to is not just the case of Luohe Village.

Those topics that have been very sensitive for many years seem to be ignited and spread on the Internet in an instant. Hedong, a provincial capital city that was ridiculed by netizens as the least sense of existence, became an "Internet celebrity" overnight and created a new buzzword by netizens - do you dare to go to Hedong for a while?

For the leadership team and relevant functional departments of Hedong City, one wave after another has not been settled. This public opinion is like a second atomic bomb that was detonated, enough to shake the entire local "ecosystem". According to common sense, at most, a hot incident can fade from the netizens' vision in three days, but this Luohe Village incident can be surrounded by discussions one after another! People are worried that if it continues to report, will there be a third and fourth atomic bomb fall from over Hedong City! It seems that an explanation must be given to the public!

At this time, the Beijiang Evening News Agency was also very lively. Early in the morning, Yu Chongming was called to the office by President Zhao Qingdong.

"Look at this document!" Zhao Qingdong looked unhappy and threw the document on the desktop.

Yu Chongming's nerves suddenly tense up and thought, Oh my God, what happened again?!

"Revisions on the rectification of news reports on land acquisition in Luohe Village, Beijiang Evening News..." Yu Chongming whispered, "Beijiang Newspaper Group..."

"Criticize our report tone for incorrectness, which has had a bad social impact. We are ordered to carefully review the report in Luohe Village this time and make up for the mistakes! Yu Chongming, Yu Chongming, you... can you let me save some snacks? You have grown a few heads and stepped on mines again and again?! Every time I wipe your butt!" Zhao Qingdong became more and more excited, "Do you know how much trouble you have caused me?"

Usually, the media is an enviable industry. But in fact, every report of local media must be very cautious. It would be fine if it is a publicity report. If the report deviates from the track and causes bad impact, it would be enough for media reporters to drink.

"President Zhao... This... I..." Yu Chongming suddenly lost his speech, and his hair was about to blew up. "I don't know if this would be the case. The group had never given any comments on the tone of Luohe Village's report. Moreover, from the beginning, the relevant reports were directly asked for instructions."

When it comes to business ability, Yu Chongming is really the best, but his emotional intelligence is negative. No wonder everyone privately said that Yu Chongming, an old guy, sometimes pretends to be stupid, sometimes he is really stupid.

"You..." Zhao Qingdong was speechless by his words. You kid, are you going to kick the ball back? Thinking of this, the anger in Zhao Qingdong's heart finally burst out completely, "You shit and don't take off your pants, you can find a way to clean it yourself!"

Not only are there celebrities, but everyone has their own personality, and once the personality is established, it is difficult to change. Yu Chongming's personality is already a consensus: smart and stupid. Even some journalists occasionally deliberately talk to him when they talk to him. The senior official level is crushed to death, and Zhao Qingdong is even more so. He often happens by pointing at Yu Chongming's nose and cursing.

Yu Chongming was kicked out of the president's office, his head felt like he was stuck in a door, and he was still in a confused state. He was still celebrating his achievements yesterday, but why did he get into trouble today? He needs to calm down and sort it out. That's right, the report is carried out according to the requirements of the club! What's the problem? Forget it, I'll discuss it with Qu Changguo. This kid is so smart that he asked him to analyze it for me.

Yu Chongming returned angrily, passed by the reporter's office area, looked at Xiangbei's desk, and became more angry the more he thought about it. This guy made me a big fuss. Now he doesn't know where to eat, drink and have fun!

He walked to Qu Changguo's office, and he didn't knock on the door and broke into it.

Qu Changguo was talking to two reporters at this time. When he saw Yu Chongming suddenly breaking in, his face was unhappy. He quickly adjusted his emotions and signaled the two reporters to leave.

"Mr. Yu, what's wrong with you? Look at the two words on your face."

Yu Chongming was stunned and touched his face: "Two words, is there any? I washed my face before going out."

"Yes, can't you see such a big word?"

Yu Chongming was stunned and approached the mirror behind the door, took a look and said, "No, are you having any eye problems?"

"Impossible, these are two words, 'Unhappy'!"

Yu Chongming heard what he meant: "Oh, don't mention it, I just criticized Lao Zhao!"

"What's the situation?" Qu Changguo was puzzled.

"The report from Luohe Village has caused trouble." Yu Chongming told the whole story.

After hearing what he said, Qu Changguo felt a little sad, "Mr. Yu, why do you say it? I don't think it's all for us to blame. First, we waited for the above documents at the beginning, but they did not issue them for a long time; second, each of our manuscripts is a third-examination, the first-instance editor, the second-instance editor's office, and the third-instance leader. In every detail, we solicit opinions from the club leaders first, and each manuscript was personally checked and issued by the club leaders. If something happened, why did we blame us?"

"What you said makes sense," Yu Chongming felt aggrieved, "But what is the use of saying this now? What do you think of it!"

"Mr. Yu, I have an idea. We will first follow the rectification requirements put forward above, make some improvement measures, and then wait and see if the plot changes. Maybe the plot will be reversed." Qu Changguo said.

“Improvement measures? How to improve it?”

"According to the above requirements, we will arrange for reporters to write a few follow-up reports on Luohe Village to reverse the current situation as soon as possible. In addition, we will make a set of key reports on Hedong City's work achievements this year."

"Well, what you said makes sense." Yu Chongming frowned, "In addition, Xiangbei must be punished. After all, this matter was caused by him. We can also give an explanation to the above when punishing him."

"This...I don't think this is right."

"Why is it inappropriate?"

"After all the interviews and reports are arranged by us in a coordinated manner. If you take him accountable, what do the people below think? Besides, you just celebrated the merits yesterday and now you are using him again. Isn't this a slap in the face of the editor-in-chief's office?"

"It makes sense," Yu Chongming's face seemed to be shaking the clouds and seeing the fog, and suddenly realized, "Your brain is really good. This matter made you analyze this much clearer."

Qu Changguo smiled and said, "Mr. Yu, it's not that I'm very smart, but you're still angry and didn't jump out of Lao Zhao's words. I'm just helping you sort out your mood. Otherwise, it's not my turn to come up with ideas here."

"Then do it like this. You can arrange a few reporters to implement these things quickly. As for Xiangbei, you will be exempted from public criticism, but there must be a separate conversation. He must know what he has done wrong."

...

It was when Chongming and Qu Changguo were at a loss on how to make up for the "bias" of reporting, a storm of accountability began to sweep Hedong.

Shortly after Xiangbei's manuscript caused heated discussions online, Jiang Haibo was dismissed as the first person in charge and appointed others; other departments were also investigated and held accountable one after another. In addition, there were countless department heads and street office staff who were dealt with.

The manuscript caused such a great impact across the country, and even caused a "earthquake" in Hedong, which Xiangbei did not expect. He didn't know whether these things were good or bad. What made him even more difficult to understand was that Yu Chongming and Qu Changguo did not look for him because of this incident. After all, he was the first author of this news, and naturally the first person responsible for the report, and there was no reason not to look for him. Xiangbei could not suppress his doubts in his heart and knocked on the door of Qu Changguo's office.

"Look at the big side, sit."

"Leader, I'm looking for you because of what I reported last time."

“Which report?”

"The manuscript from Luohe Village. I heard that the group issued a document a few days ago. The personnel in Hedong City were so adjusted. Putting these two things together, I guess they have something to do with this manuscript."

"It seems that there is no secret hidden in the newspaper. What news did you hear?" Qu Changguo was stunned.

"I haven't heard the news, but I've seen Mr. Yu look depressed these days, especially when I see me, it's like I've seen an enemy. The fool can see something happening."

"Don't you know Lao Yu yet. He just did that and everything was on his face. But to be honest, he asked me to talk to you, but I tried to push it away. The reason why I did this was because I didn't want to put pressure on you. I didn't expect you to come up with it on your own initiative. But that's fine. Let's talk about this so that you won't work with emotion. After all, you are an old comrade, and I believe you can understand many things."

"If there is any punishment, you say it is, I can accept it."

"Haha, you're thinking too much. Look, now that several relevant responsible persons in the city have been held accountable, we naturally don't have to worry about this. In the future, you still have to continue to report your news and continue to stick to your journalistic ideals. As long as we have a clear conscience, nothing else matters!"

"Thank you, leader. To be honest, I feel very complicated when something like this happens, and I will reflect on it seriously." Xiangbei's complex mood, on the one hand, feels that he may have caused trouble and caused trouble to his leader. If this continues, he may be a life of "moving bricks" for the rest of his life. On the other hand, he is a bit excited. To be honest, his "three views" are very different from Qu Changguo. However, Qu Changguo's behavior is still very admirable: righteous, responsible, and sleek. Especially after an accident, his first reaction is not to let the people below be scapegoats. Just this is many times better than other leaders.
