Chapter 94
It was precisely because of the thought that Xiahou Mingqi would have some concerns that Chen Jizhou's investigations on some departments and personnel of the newspaper were carried out in secret. He gave this operation a somewhat strange code name - "Action with the Wind", which was very simple, just in line with the ancient poem: "Surrender into the night with the wind, moistening things silently", but the word "moistening things" must be changed to "handling cases".
Within the task force, the accurate title of "Operation with the Wind" is a special investigation of the series of illegal and irregular cases by some staff of Beijiang Evening News. It can be said that the word "series" highlights the focus of the entire investigation - it is not an individual case, nor can it be completed in one day, two days, or ten or eight days. To quote what Chen Jizhou wrote in the report, it is "a long-term systematic project."
In order to ensure that this investigation no longer leads to any trouble, Chen Jizhou carefully screened every member who joined the task force, and there were only two screening criteria: a clean foundation and a good reputation. As long as you meet these two standards, you can join whether you are a management or an ordinary employee.
Chen Jizhou conducted special training for everyone who joined the task force, and the first of the discipline requirements is to strictly keep the secrets. After so many years in Beijiang Evening News, Chen Jizhou felt that this was a magical unit. Many times, one thing was just finished talking about in a small area of several people. The next day, the whole society knew about it. Is it really a ventilated wall?
Chen Jizhou has already listed a set of procedures for the entire investigation cycle. Mao Junjie first held on, did not punish, kept his original position, and started from existing clues, followed the clues, and investigated relevant financial personnel. As expected, the task force soon discovered a flaw.
Chen Jizhou was studying the materials on the surface, and there was a knock on the door outside. It was Xiao Li, the officer of the Discipline Inspection Group.
"Leader, this is the material I have compiled, please take a look."
Chen Jizhou did not open the materials to read, but put them aside. "To improve efficiency, just pick up the key points."
"Okay, based on the fact that we have sorted out relevant materials from the financial department in the past few days and communicated with some colleagues in private, we have summarized several problems:
1. Financial personnel violate the regulations and pay the marketing return to marketers without authorization, and the marketers will arbitrarily dispose of public funds.
2. The financial review system is useless. Some business trip expenses are still reimbursed without notes and the reasons are specified and the signatures of relevant leaders are obtained.
3. In terms of marketing commission allocation, the plan design is unreasonable, and even the editors and editors receive the distribution in violation of regulations. As for the allocation plan and distribution progress, the financial department has a large amount of detailed information.
4. Some editors and editors illegally purchased tobacco, alcohol and other items during business trips, and transferred them to business trip standards for reimbursement. Financial personnel turned a blind eye to this phenomenon, resulting in a large amount of loss of public assets.
These are basically the details, all in the written materials.”
Xiao Li racked his brains to recall the contents, and talked about the materials he summarized like an endorsement. There was almost no change in his emotions. After all, he felt relieved. However, Chen Jizhou's expression became more and more serious.
"Have all these obtained evidence?" Old Chen was very cautious.
"Yes, some are human evidence and some are unlicensed."
"I have heard of these issues. Although I know that it is definitely not groundless, given the concerns of the leadership team at that time, I have never been able to investigate. Now I can finally rectify them well. I didn't expect it to be more serious than I thought." Chen Jizhou stood up and paced back and forth in the office. Xiao Li, who was standing beside him, seemed to be locked and tracked, and his eyes turned back and forth with Chen Jizhou's steps.
"Oh, by the way, have you counted all these questions and how much is involved?" Chen Jizhou remembered this key question and stared at Xiao Li.
"This..." Chen Jizhou's question obviously stumped Xiao Li. He cleared his throat awkwardly, "We haven't sorted out this yet. I'll sort it out as soon as possible and give you a report material."
"Well, this is the key link in all these cases, and of course, it is also the most difficult link." Chen Jizhou also understood the difficulty and intensity of this work.
"Yes, take the investigation of some journalists' violations during business trips as an example. Each journalist travels on average 15 times a year. If all journalists are counted, the annual business trip reimbursement documents can be nearly a thousand copies. Each copy needs to be checked. Not only does it involve the tickets and other certificates themselves, but it also needs to go to the hotel they have stayed in to investigate the consumption details. In this way, the workload is really too great."
"I think about this issue carefully and try to find a time-saving and labor-saving and efficient way." Chen Jizhou also knows the interests. These cases involve almost every reporter and even the management level. If one investigates them one by one, it may cause a "strong earthquake". How to curb this bad momentum and avoid the continued time being taken into private pockets by the newspaper, and at the same time, it does not affect the stability of the newspaper. It really requires great caution.
"We have too few people. Leader, you have to add more strength to me." Xiao Li said with some complaints.
Although Xiao Li didn't say it clearly, Chen Jizhou could naturally understand his complaints. Now, the latest ones to turn off the lights at night in Beijiang Evening News are two departments: the editorial platform and the discipline inspection team. Including Chen Jizhou, there are five people in the task force. If it is just a daily work, this configuration can be barely dealt with. However, once a periodic inspection or large-scale investigation is encountered, the constraints of the shortage of personnel will soon appear. Sometimes even Chen Jizhou has to do some specific copywriting work.
"I have considered this issue, so let's hold on for a few more days." In fact, Chen Jizhou has already started to solve the problem of tight staff. He also asked Xiahou Mingqi for instructions. On the basis of existing personnel, he temporarily dispatched several personnel from other departments to join the task force. But Chen Jizhou has been carefully selecting who should be selected to "join". After all, the newspaper is so big, and there is inevitably a close relationship between colleagues. For discipline inspection work, if the selection of people is not appropriate and the employment of people is not appropriate, the final result is likely to be a mistake and lose all the money.
After Xiao Li walked out of the office, Chen Jizhou fell into deep thought again. He felt that the investigation process should pay attention to strategies and grasp priorities for the issues in the financial department reflected in the materials. For example, from the perspective of positions, the order of processing should be from the edge to the core, from the bottom to the top; from individuals to small teams and then to large teams.
Following this idea, he got up and walked to the small whiteboard, picked up the whiteboard pen, and listed these ideas one by one: "Financial department-administrative department-editor-editor department-leadership", "two people in the investigation cycle", "nearly half of the newspaper staff"...
In addition to these, he also listed several names: "Xiangbei", "Qu Changguo", "Yu Chongming", and "Zhao Qingdong"...
Looking at the words full of whiteboards, Chen Jizhou was a little shocked. This was probably the most involved in discipline inspection investigation since he started working in discipline inspection, and it may also reveal the most widely-influent and worst-in-law violations.
On this side, Chen Jizhou was thinking about the structure of the task force and the progress of the case. On the other side, Qu Changguo was not idle. In addition to reporting on the World Expo, he also found that there were some strange things on the editorial platform recently.
As executive deputy editor-in-chief, one of the things Qu Changguo needs to do is to conduct a comprehensive analysis and understanding of every reporter, who has a personality, business level, what background, etc., so that he can make plans. However, during this period, the more important the time he has reported on the World Expo, the more reporters disappear, and they are almost taken away by the reasons for the information statistics of the newspaper staff.
Qu Changguo was surprised when this so-called "personnel information statistics" project began? As the leader of the newspaper, why didn't he hear any rumors before? He called several reporters who had disappeared to the office and asked carefully. Everyone's answers were almost the same: registering their work and life situations, saying that it was to improve their personal files.
What the hell? Improve personal files? I have been in Beijiang Evening News for more than ten years, and it is the first time I have heard of this kind of thing. Qu Changguo feels that the senior executives of the newspaper must have something to hide from him. Xiahou Mingqi has been mysterious since he came to the newspaper, making small groups and small moves. It really makes me feel uneasy.
Qu Changguo carefully observed the daily life of everyone in the editing and editing plane through the window glass. Some people became more and more suspicious. Especially Luo Fangyi, who disappeared intermittently, I couldn't figure out who she was and how she entered the newspaper. Moreover, Qu Changguo appeared, before and after Luo Fangyi entered the newspaper, his whole style changed greatly. During the internship, this girl had a nonsensical and funny style; after officially joining the job, she became more and more restrained, and even silent, giving people a sense of unfathomable mystery. This made Qu Changguo feel uneasy.
No, I have to find out her tone.
Damn, what's wrong with me? Shouldn't I have suspicious symptoms? All these speculations and doubts made Qu Changguo feel overwhelmed. Before becoming the executive deputy editor-in-chief, he had never had so many worries, but what's wrong now? He was puzzled.
However, he followed his inner thoughts and called Luo Fangyi to the office.
"Leader, are you calling me?" Luo Fangyi entered Qu Changguo's office and saluted solemnly.
Why is this girl still very nonsensical? Hasn’t she become steady and restrained? Could it be that I was wrong? Qu Changguo felt that he couldn’t explain it, and he needed to sort it out carefully.
"The World Expo report is well written," Qu Changguo signaled Luo Fangyi to sit down, "Little Ronaldo, I asked you to learn video shooting some time ago. How did you learn?"
"I'm learning from my friends from the provincial Taiwan Taiwan. Mr. Qu, I'm stupid and slow to learn, don't be anxious." Luo Fangyi interrupted. Although he was a little resistant to the new identity of "exploring newspaper transformation" all-media talent set by Qu Changguo for her, he still found Pang Dong as required and asked him to learn camera technology every now and then.
"Little Luo, you must understand the importance of all-media talents. Although you are still in the political and literary interview team, you should not limit yourself to the traditional framework of writing articles. The future is the world of videos. You are the new force of newspapers, the most motivated and energetic, and good at learning new things. When you have the skills of video shooting and production, you will be more wings in newspapers in the future."
Qu Changguo analyzed Luo Fangyi in a clear and erroneous way. Every sentence was correct and he was just right. But Luo Fangyi couldn't turn around. Perhaps because of the concepts he instilled in the north, she always felt that the difference between newspapers and videos was too big. A real reporter should be able to learn and write, grasp the truth of society and the warmth of the world. Video reporters are too simple in this regard and cannot be considered a reporter with real skills.
Luo Fangyi felt that journalists were a matter in the literary circle, so she looked down on those strange and strange video reporters from the bottom of her bones. This is also one of the reasons why she did not join the Pangdong Entrepreneurship Gang at the beginning.
Seeing that she ignored her, Qu Changguo felt even more suspicious. How many things mean? Even I, the Executive Deputy Editor, didn’t take my words seriously?
"Little Luo, I think you've been very busy lately and often don't see you."
"Isn't this an interview at the World Expo? I have made appointments with many interviewees and have to run out every day." Luo Fangyi explained.
Interview at the World Expo? Do you think I am a fool? I will review every manuscript in the manuscript system. I still don’t know how many manuscripts you have? Qu Changguo sneered in his heart. It seems that you are going to reveal your money.
"I think it's more than this. Recently, many reporters have been called away for some reason to talk, do you know?"
"Yeah, I know."
"You include you?"
"Yeah, yes."
Luo Fangyi's answers were simple and straightforward in every sentence, which made Qu Changguo even more unhappy.
"What is the discussion about so mysterious? Even I, the deputy editor-in-chief, don't know."
"Don't you know that a leader is as big as you? But this is not a big deal, right?" Luo Fangyi was shocked. "It's all about the personal situation of some reporters. It is said that it is to improve the employee information in the OA system, and I don't know the specific details."
It seems that I can't expect to talk from this girl's mouth. Qu Changguo looked at Luo Fangyi, and the other party's eyes dodged. No, there must be a secret! Since you don't say it, I will use a long line to catch big fish. Among all the reporters who have disappeared, you are the most suspicious. Luo Fangyi, I will focus on you in the future!
Qu Changguo released Luo Fangyi. As soon as she left, he lay down on the window and stared at him. Sure enough, the girl left not long after her work station. Qu Changguo followed quietly behind her.
Luo Fangyi pressed the upward elevator and went in.
The elevator door was closed, and Qu Changguo stared at the numbers displayed next to the elevator, 7th floor.
The 7th floor is the administrative department floor, including Xiahou Mingqi and Chen Jizhou, all working on this floor. It is now 1:30 in the morning, and it is the busiest time for work. Why did she go to the 7th floor?
No, I want to see what happened!
