Chapter 44 The Mysterious Three-Party Meeting
There is an old Chinese saying: Good things don’t go out, bad things go through thousands of miles.
At Beijiang Evening News, the rumors about the letter of complaint were contracted for the entire day of discussion between the employees on the first floor to the ninth floor of the newspaper. Even on the large editing and editing plane on the fifth floor, the reporters who had been talking about the matter of Xiangbei were also happy and enjoyed it.
——"Did you read all the online reports? I didn't expect Xiangbei to do this!"
——"This time, our newspaper is famous! It has all become headlines and hot searches!"
——"I don't know what the leader is thinking, so I let the rumors spread online like this? Hurry up and get rid of the blame!"
The character of a reporter is usually like this: knowledgeable, such as earthquakes, floods, mine accidents, murder scandals, etc., many things are no longer surprising. But in fact, reporters are also office workers. Every time there is a rumor inside the unit - for example, who is about to resign; who is quietly divorced; who is just scolded by his leader; who is very close to whom, etc. - Through the "small radio" and "small speakers" among reporters, they will soon spread throughout the newspapers, and then be processed and shared many times. Therefore, other people's secrets have become their topic and become their bargaining chips for increasing their friendship. In the workplace, "gossip" has become a common phenomenon.
In fact, Yu Chongming could see clearly the changes in the journalists' emotions. He often observed his subordinates through the thin gap in the back of the office glass window to understand their every move and emotional state. If it were the past, he would turn a blind eye to his subordinates' private discussion, because this was just a long time of freshness. From the perspective of managers, Yu Chongming even believed that this "gossip" was just a way for employees to adjust their mentality.
This time, Yu Chongming felt that it was necessary to take care of it. After all, the target of this rumor was not a person, not only Xiangbei, but also the reputation and image of the entire Beijiang Evening News Agency. Misfortune comes from the mouth. If you can't control your subordinates' mouths, if Zhao Qingdong blames them one day, Yu Chongming will be scolded again.
"Hey, how is Xiangbei now?"
In the editorial and editing plane, the two girls were having a lot of chatting.
"I heard that I'm still in the hospital and I'm in a coma."
"There's a good show now, hehe."
"What a good show? Let's hear it."
"You don't understand this? Idiot! This is a good show..." The girl was overjoyed. Even though she was separated by a beige sweater, her plump breasts were trembling with her laughter. She turned around to answer the question, but she saw a majestic belly, which might be because of her fatness. Her belly was undulating rhythmically, and her snow-white shirt was loose and tight. The girl's eyes moved upwards along her belly, and her exaggerated expression gradually condensed.
“Mr. Yu…”
"Ruan Yiyi, don't forget to call me if you have a good show. I love watching shows the most!" Yu Chongming suppressed his anger and said sneer.
"Mr. Yu, I was wrong..." The girl lowered her head.
"Everyone listen, let's be quiet!" Yu Chongming stood in the center of the hall, clapping his palms to attract everyone's attention while saying.
The hall suddenly became quiet...
"I would like to emphasize the work discipline during work. The unit is the place of work. Our working hours are from 9 am to 6 pm. In this period, in our hall, we cannot discuss things other than business. Do you understand? If you don't understand, I will be more blunt: gossip news and rumor news are not allowed to be discussed during work hours!" Yu Chongming's words were slow, and every word seemed to carry a serious emoticon, which made people feel his displeasure.
"knew……"
"receive……"
"clear……"
The reporters' answers to Yu Chongming's words were very interesting: there was no such neat and uniform response. Everyone dragged their long tunes, seemingly there was nothing, and they were evasive. It seemed that the "gossip" that Yu Chongming mentioned had nothing to do with him. The reason why he responded was simply because he was a leader and a subordinate.
Seeing the reporters' reactions, although Yu Chongming still maintained the serious expression when he spoke, he felt a little embarrassed. He knew very well that although he was the executive deputy editor-in-chief, it did not mean that he had absolute authority over these reporters. Since reporters were the core position of the newspaper, they became the main position for some leaders to win over. This kind of win over was formed even in the recruitment process. In the subsequent work, factions divided by universities, hometowns, etc. appeared. This division was deeply rooted and mixed, and Yu Chongming could not shake it at all. It is precisely because of this that some reporters are so unscrupulous.
"Ruan Yiyi, come to my office."
Ruan Yiyi looked ashamed and followed Yu Chongming happily. She was wearing a hip-wrapped skirt. Even though she was tightly wrapped in winter clothes, she could not hide her figure curve at all.
"Who did you hear these news?" Yu Chongming returned to the office and asked with a serious look on his face.
"Mr. Yu, I'm talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."
"Don't take it seriously? You think I'm a fool?"
"It's true, I'm joking with my colleagues."
"Ruan Yiyi, it's fine if you are a little more lively. Do you know what's going on now? Don't cause trouble for me?"
Making trouble? You old man, I will be willing to make trouble for you? Stay there when you are cool! Ruan Yiyi didn't take this old man with sour smell seriously from the bottom of her bones, and stood there straight, still venting criticism based on him.
Yu Chongming had never known how to deal with such a woman, so he simply killed her away. Seeing Ruan Yiyi walk out of the office, he called Qu Changguo.
"Changguo, how is going north?"
Qu Changguo replied: "Mr. Yu, his condition was controlled, but he was still unconscious."
"Did the doctor say when will you wake up?" Yu Chongming asked.
"This is hard to say, but the doctor said it was nothing serious. Normally, you should be able to wake up in one or two days."
...
Let’s talk about the newspaper, the sudden explosion of 25 reports was like a major surprise incident born within the newspaper. Zhao Qingdong never expected that everyone would pursue the incident all day long, and now such a thing actually fell on his head.
Fortunately, I have accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of thing. Zhao Qingdong quickly divided the work at the newspaper leadership to avoid the continuous escaping of the incident. He went to the group to do his own work to control the spread of online messages; Chen Jizhou was responsible for investigating the ins and outs of 25 emails; Yu Chongming kept a close eye on the editorial platform to avoid the occurrence of words and deeds that shake the morale of the army. Of course, he also had to keep an eye on the north.
All division of labor continued until the evening. At such a time, it was impossible to get off work at a time. Yu Chongming even prepared all night. As expected, at 6:10 pm, Zhao Qingdong notified Yu Chongming and Chen Jizhou: An emergency meeting was held at 6:30 pm.
"President, who needs to attend the meeting? I'll make some arrangements in advance." Yu Chongming looked at the time, and there were only fifteen minutes left. It was not easy to get all the people together.
"You, no one else will notify you." Zhao Qingdong always cherishes his words every time he responds. This may be a common problem for his leaders.
Yu Chongming stared at the clock on the wall, and moved the minute hand to the "6" position bit by bit. The newspaper specially prepared a president's meeting room for Zhao Qingdong, which is close to the president's office. Usually, this room is locked and few ordinary people are qualified to come in. In so many years, Yu Chongming has entered this conference room for the first time.
At first glance, this house is no different, a small round table, a few chairs, a video conference system, and a projector. Niang Xipi, who is mysterious and charming on weekdays, I thought it was so tall and generous. Yu Chongming looked around the house for a while and felt a little disappointed.
"We're all here, let's have a meeting." Zhao Qingdong sat north and south, facing his back to the video conference system.
You are here? Yu Chongming wondered, isn’t this the same as in the morning? Chen Jizhou and I, three people? What are we going to make a fuss?!
"Everyone turn off your phone." Zhao Qingdong took the lead and turned off the phone actively, put it on the side of the table. When the two saw that the president had done this, what else could be said? Turn it off. You know, the reporters all have requirements: keep the computer on 24 hours a day, and you can contact us at any time. This time, this rule is going to break. What kind of meeting is so mysterious?
"I know what you are thinking. Before the meeting, I would like to emphasize one thing first. Today's meeting will not be recorded or documented. All information cannot be transmitted from this door. Do you understand?" Zhao Qingdong looked serious.
Yu Chongming no longer dared to breathe heavily, not take notes, or print documents... Damn, I have never attended such a secret meeting for so many years! Chen Jizhou was not relaxed either, sitting upright, with a serious expression.
Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Zhao Qingdong began the three-person meeting: "I came back from the group and learned some internal news. First, the report letter incident has been out of control. Not only in Beijiang Province, but all over the country have spread. The Group Information Center gave me a statistical table. As of 4:00 this afternoon, there are as many as 30,000 messages on Weibo, posts and circle of friends. There are tens of millions of reprints, clicks, and comments. It is impossible to control it. Second, the group must have to deal with people this time. As for how to deal with it and who to deal with it, I still don't know. However, one thing is certain, the group has reported the case and the public security organs have filed an investigation. Third, the group leaders require us to form a material immediately on this matter, one is to report to the group, and the other is to respond to social concerns. Next, you two will talk about the situation of the newspaper. Lao Chen, you talk first."
"President, I have set up a temporary investigation team for the report letter incident and divided the work for everyone. One group of people investigated the source of the report letter, and the other group of people verified the content of the report letter. Now they are still working overtime, and a piece of material should be able to be released tomorrow morning." Chen Jizhou replied.
"Yu Chongming, how are you doing there?"
Yu Chongming paused, swallowed his saliva, and said, "I have notified the editorial platform staff that I am not allowed to discuss this matter. Oh, by the way, I made an oral notification. In addition, the situation in Xiangbei is stable. He is still in a coma and can't cause any trouble for the time being."
"Yu Chongming, I don't know what you think about this matter. Do you two realize the seriousness of the problem? From the perspective of the newspaper, this matter has a very bad impact on the image of the newspaper. From a personal perspective, it is difficult for everyone here, including me, to sit down. So, what should I do?"
"President, hasn't the group called the police? I feel that this matter has not been investigated yet. Maybe someone was maliciously slandered." Yu Chongming comforted.
"No matter whether this is true or false, the reputation of the newspaper has been damaged." Zhao Qingdong looked at Yu Chongming and Chen Jizhou, "What do you think about how to restore the reputation of the newspaper?"
The two of them naturally had nothing to say and were silent.
"Now there is only one way," Zhao Qingdong looked at Yu Chongming again. "When Xiangbei wakes up, you will go to the hospital in person and understand the interests of him. I hope he will put the overall situation first and take the initiative to take on all the problems in order to maintain the reputation of the newspaper."
"I will have a good talk with him, but I am worried that with Xiangbei's personality, I will not accept this method. Besides, this is not a trivial matter," said Yu Chongming.
"Don't accept it? Can he refuse to accept it if he wants to not accept it? The initiative is in the newspaper. All the problems are caused by him alone in the north, and the newspaper is completely unaware of it!" Zhao Qingdong slowed down again, "Of course, the main thing is to persuade and educate 'cured diseases and save people'."
At the three-person meeting, Chen Jizhou remained silent. He felt that it seemed inappropriate to do so, but since Zhao Qingdong had already made such a decision, he couldn't say anything. What he could do was to do, on the one hand, he came from his job and investigate it carefully; secondly, he could only pray in his heart that this storm could pass as soon as possible, and everyone could be at peace.
