Xiahou Mingqi looked at the pile of materials for a long time. Chen Jizhou sat aside and was silent, but he observed Xiahou Mingqi's expression changes from time to time. At the beginning, he was smiling and his face became heavier and he finally threw the materials on the table.

We assign newspaper and magazine subscription tasks to the interviewing unit to report threatening companies to buy advertisements. Customers who cooperate with companies have a certain amount of reports every year. Lao Chen, let’s put aside the facts and evidence, let’s put aside your and my public office, let’s talk about some private words behind closed doors. Are these issues unspoken rules of some media?

Chen Jizhou looked at Xiahou Mingqi for a while and thought about how to answer this question. Although both of them were from Beijiang Newspaper Group, Beijiang Evening News is a business unit, and Xiahou Mingqi's department is an administrative department. Over the years, Xiahou Mingqi has been working in the administrative department. Although he understands the operating rules of the media, he does not have a good understanding of specific business. As the saying goes, apart travel is like a mountain.

President Xiahou

Call me Mingqi. Xiahou Mingqi hurriedly corrected it.

Uh Mingqi, Chen Jizhou felt a little confused, but he still called it out. You should know that for so many years in the group, that now, traditional media, especially newspapers, are getting harder and harder, fewer and fewer people read newspapers, and fewer people advertise in newspapers. It is said that some large domestic companies have clear requirements that the proportion of advertising fees invested in traditional media and emerging media every year is 30 and 70. A few years ago, this proportion was the opposite. In some places, not to mention the distance, they just say that their urban newspapers have been closed in Yucheng, which is not far away. In order to maintain the operation of the daily newspaper, they handed over the local parks to the daily newspapers for operation, with the purpose of giving them an additional revenue channel.

Xiahou Mingqi naturally understood the current market conditions, but he did not expect it to be so serious. He suddenly recalled the private conversation between the two during the handover with Zhao Qingdong.

It was the handover ceremony between the two at the newspaper meeting at the end of last month. The stage was full of new and old people. Taking advantage of the gap between the others' speeches, the two old generations started to whisper.

Brother Mingqi, after I took off this burden, I felt mixed feelings in my heart. Zhao Qingdong suddenly sighed.

President Zhao, you will naturally be reluctant to give up on the newspaper. Although Xiahou Mingqi doesn’t like Zhao Qingdong’s style very much, he still has to give people face in such occasions. It is the Chinese philosophy of life that does not force people to a desperate situation in everything. Facts have proved that such philosophy has its positive significance.

Hi, I understand what I have done, and I know the bad things. However, some things are involuntarily uncontrollably. I also want to do well and change them, but the objective environment forces you to have no choice. Not to mention anything else, the current funding of the newspaper is getting worse day by day. When you become familiar with the situation, you will understand. How to support these hundreds of people and how to make this building stand in this most prosperous area depends on your wisdom.

Zhao Qingdong is not an exaggeration. As the saying goes, a person is good at dying. Although it is not death, Zhao Qingdong's career is basically a failure. At such a moment, he does not need to stumbling and wear small shoes.

Of course, he also wanted to continue his brilliant life, but the transformation from Feique to Qingshuiya has made him realize that his peak moment has ended. Although it is not the best choice now, it is at least not the worst.

To be honest, although Xiahou Mingqi is smart, he doesn't know much about what he said. It is said that the new official takes office for three fires, and Xiahou Mingqi knows in his heart that he must have three axes, otherwise he will not be able to chop the Five Finger Mountain.

Before taking office, he had inquired from many sources, learned about the internal situation of the newspaper, and prepared the fuel for these three fires. The Northward incident was the first fire he wanted to burn.

Let’s go back to this conversation between Xiahou Mingqi and Chen Jizhou.

Chen Jizhou's words made Xiahou Mingqi feel solemn, and he needed to know more objective and real situations.

Well, I have heard of all the situations you mentioned. What do you want to explain?

I want to say that the situation of Beijiang Evening News is not optimistic than other media. Traditional media include three forms: TV, newspaper and radio. Nowadays, the best life is not TV, nor newspaper, but radio. It is said that a radio station in Beijing can have a year of operating income of several hundred million. However, newspapers are getting worse every year. If many newspapers do not have financial support, if they do not have the previous financial resources, they would probably not be able to maintain it. Therefore, at some times, the media will use their own influence to increase revenue.

I can understand that this unspoken rule exists? Xiahou Mingqi asked.

In fact, the media has always had strict requirements, and the editorial and operation must be separated, and paid news is explicitly prohibited. I think our reports are objective and reflect the actual situation. This is also the public's constant perception of the media. Therefore,

Therefore, if this incident goes beyond the traditional public perception, its impact on the newspaper will be fatal? Because it will not only make these hundreds of people lose their jobs, but also make Beijiang Province lose an important media. Xiahou Mingqi snatched Chen Jizhou's topic and said that this is why the previous leadership team tried every means to calm this incident?

At this time, Xiahou Mingqi realized the seriousness of this problem. He tried his best to control the adverse effects of the Northward incident, which was related to the ecological balance of Beijiang Newspaper Group and many traditional media in Beijiang Province. Once this ecological balance is broken, there will inevitably be a chaos that is difficult to control.

Therefore, being sacrificed to the north became a carnival in the industry.

Xiahou Mingqi was secretly shocked. Thanks to his understanding of these situations, it seems that many things are not as simple as imagined. To outsiders, it may not be like that, but to people in the game.

Chen Jizhou never responded positively to Xiahou Mingqi's rhetoric. Instead, he kicked the ball back to test the reaction of the new star in the group.

President, how do you check this matter?

Xiahou Mingqi became cautious. The reason why he planned to re-investigate the North incident as the first fire for the new official to take office was that he hoped to change the atmosphere and appearance of the newspapers and eliminate the bad influence of the Zhao Qingdong era. However, after hearing Chen Jizhou's words, he felt it was necessary to re-value them.

Chen Jizhou saw his expression change. Although he also hoped that Xiahou Mingqi could restart the investigation of the northward incident, he did not want to tie this young man who was not clear about the depth to the chariot. All he had to do was to know the pros and cons, and he would decide how to choose.

Xiahou Mingqi only thought for half a minute. From the inside of the newspaper, what departments does this case involve?

Editor-in-chief marketing logistics, etc. are all involved.

Alas, it really affects the whole body. Once it is investigated, it must be serious, which will inevitably touch the interests of many people. But can others be sacrificed for their own interests and improper interests? What is the difference between this and animals? Xiahou Mingqi seems to have made up his mind.

Chen Jizhou has judged his tendency from his words: You have to consider it well. Of course, I only have one choice, not to wrongly a good person or let a bad person go, so I support the restart of the investigation of the North incident. But you are different, you have to consider it thoroughly

There is no complete consideration. Xiahou Mingqi interrupted him with a firm attitude. I am the same principle as you. What is wrong is wrong, what is right is right. If you need to check, check it thoroughly. Lao Chen, the ship of Beijiang Evening News is already full of holes, and you can't just rely on the seams and patches to move forward. It's time to have a major operation. Otherwise, I might be the last president. I can't afford this charge!

OK! I followed the president's arrangement! Chen Jizhou didn't expect that this young man was so full of energy, and he suddenly felt a long-lost passion in his heart. He seemed to have returned to a decade or twenty years ago, and when he first came to the newspaper office, he was full of energy and energy.

You are fully responsible for this matter, check according to the facts, and do not protect or conceal! In addition, the new executive vice-general arrangement Changguo will serve as your deputy and cooperate with your investigation with all his strength.

Chen Jizhou, who was already cleaning up the scattered materials, suddenly stopped at this time.

It’s not that he is unwilling to be fully responsible, but he is unwilling to partner with Qu Changguo.

After working hard in the workplace for so many years, Chen Jizhou has already developed a sharp eye. He can see through all kinds of people and things at a glance. Not to mention anything else, just talk about Qu Changguo's life reversal this time and became the executive deputy editor-in-chief, which obviously shows a problem--he has a big figure behind him.

To be honest, although Chen Jizhou knew that Qu Changguo was straightforward and decisive, and had a good relationship with the brothers on the editorial platform. However, he had also heard some rumors about Qu Changguo, including his cultivation of his own power in the newspaper, and the scandals between him and some female colleagues. However, no one broke all these rumors, so it was naturally difficult to investigate.

What's wrong? What's the problem? Xiahou Mingqi asked.

Oh, no, no. Chen Jizhou wanted to speak but stopped, but wanted to express his concerns, but he felt it was inappropriate. When Xiahou Mingqi took office, he commented on his colleagues in the newspaper office, and always felt that it was not a gentleman.

You have a good division of labor with Qu Changguo. Some specific situations, such as other reporters' issues, and the matter of connecting with Xiangbei's wife, can be taken care of, so that you can spend your energy to grasp the entire case from a macro perspective.

OK, president.

Chen Jizhou returned to the office and thought repeatedly that since the leader had already spoken, he would do what he should do. The most important thing now is to set up the staff so that the things that followed would come naturally. Thinking of this, he picked up the phone.

Mr. Qu, I am Chen Jizhou.

Hello, Lao Chen, is there anything wrong? Qu Changguo is busy working on the editing and editing platform.

Compared to Xiahou Mingqi's identity as a novice, Qu Changguo already knows the situation of journalists and reporting, and it is naturally much easier to change roles.

It’s about Xiangbei. You also know that President Xiahou has new requirements, and he called on you and me to re-examine the matter together.

OK, no problem, I will cooperate with you with all my strength, Qu Changguo is straightforward and neat. If you have any materials I need, just say. I will arrange someone to organize them and hand them over to you.

In recent years, the investigation of the Xiangbei incident has been repeated, and everyone has become numb.

This time it is not as simple as providing materials. President Xiahou has clear requirements and thorough investigation. Therefore, you may need to take time to divide the work.

After hearing this, Qu Changguo stopped the work at hand. A thorough investigation? Which time did not investigate? Haven’t everything been investigated? He didn’t understand what Xiahou Mingqi meant. Could it be that this case is about to be overturned?

Qu Changguo realized the importance of this matter: Lao Chen, you also know that I was just in charge of the overall work of the editing and editing platform, and many things have not been arranged yet. But don’t worry, I will hand over the work at hand to others first and concentrate on working as you told me.

It was not my order, it was President Xiahou's order. I was just the executor. Chen Jizhou hurriedly corrected it. By the way, Zhou Xuecen, you know him.

Yes, we are very familiar with each other. Qu Changguo said.

She once gave me some materials to reflect the issues involved in the report letter. Before, because the general environment did not allow it, I didn’t see her. Now I want to talk to her in person, are you here to deal with this matter?

There is a clue there?

She said there were some chat records that could prove that some of the issues involved in the report were instructed by the newspaper management. In addition, she said that the matter of Xiangbei was related to the incident in Luohe Village, and some people threatened Xiangbei because of the incident in Luohe Village.

Oh? Xue Cen knows so much insider?

These are mentioned in her materials. As for how true these situations are, it is hard to say, and we still have to verify them in person with her.

OK, no problem! Qu Changguo's answer is very straightforward.

Chen Jizhou hung up the phone and always felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't say anything and was worried.

This incident has been making trouble for two years, and too many of the truths have been distorted, but he has always suppressed himself and carries a deep sense of guilt. The reason why he never saw Zhou Xuechen was because he didn't know how to face her and how to answer her questions.

After thinking for a while, he called Qu Changguo again. Let's do this, let me contact Zhou Xuecen.

What's wrong with this? Old Chen, I'm not at ease with me. Qu Changguo said jokingly.

How could that be? You also understand that there are some disciplinary requirements for discipline inspection work, so you must ensure that there are no omissions in the procedures. You said that if there is a problem with the procedures that are not rigorous, wouldn’t it cause you to be implicated? So, I’d better contact her directly.

OK, if I need anything, you can arrange it.
Chapter completed!
