Chapter 143: Drafting

In the evening of that day, at the daily pre-editorial meeting of the Tianyang Evening News, the heads of various departments of the newspaper sat around.

President Luo Zhongxun and editor-in-chief Qin Chuan personally supervised the formation and reviewed the manuscripts submitted by various departments as usual. Lin Xiaoli, director of the Social News Department, submitted an application today - reporter Jiang Ruyun collected major news events, and in order to convey them accurately, she applied to be allowed to attend the meeting.

Therefore, Jiang Ruyun came to the venue as she wished. This is the first time she has attended the pre-editorial meeting alone, and for the reporters, it is undoubtedly a recognition of their successful topic selection.

Listening to Lin Xiaoli briefly finish Jiang Ruyun's topic, everyone present was in an uproar.

"Tianyang Coal Industry Group, which is a well-known pillar enterprise in the city, actually had such a scandal?"

"Mining disasters, slave labor, destruction of corpses...... If this incident is reported, it will definitely cause a national sensation!"

"I didn't expect Lei Zhendong, who had just become a star, to be dismantled in a blink of an eye, and his original form was revealed!"

After some discussion and sighing, someone began to give Jiang Ruyun a thumbs up: "Xiao Jiang, your performance in digging deep this time is simply great! But these insiders, besides you, are there other media who know?"

Jiang Ruyun was full of confidence and said with a smile: "This is the only one, there is no other branch! I first had a secret conversation with Lei Zhenye alone, and then I asked the police for verification, and I have confirmed the whole story of the matter, and I can guarantee that it is the exclusive secret!"

When Luo Zhongxun heard this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Ma Fei: What a good award material, why did it fall into her hands in a daze?

Qin Chuan, as the editor-in-chief, because he didn't know Ma Fei's inside story, commented on the topic at this time: "If that's the case, let's get ready to do a big job! Report the incident tomorrow, and then continue to follow up, interview all parties involved, and follow up until the case is finalized!"

As he spoke, he smiled excitedly: "If the reporting of the incident can reflect the omissions in the regulatory work, and then prompt the entire industry to make improvements, then this topic will be awarded the National News Award, and it will be nine out of ten!"

Looking back, he didn't forget to say excitedly to Luo Zhongxun: "Old Luo, I didn't expect our newcomers this year to be so good!

Luo Zhongxun smiled a little embarrassedly, and said in his heart: Is this Lao Qin really stupid or pretending to be stupid? If you really want her to win the award, Mr. Long will take the opportunity to promote and reuse her, and this newspaper will be robbed by them sooner or later in the future!

But then again, although extremely reluctant, it seems that there is no problem with the topic itself, and even if he is the president, it is impossible to say no.

As a result, in the continuous praise of everyone at the pre-editorial meeting, Jiang Ruyun gained a great sense of achievement, and was finally told to write carefully and live up to expectations.

After coming down from the meeting, Luo Zhongxun wanted to contact Ma Fei to inquire about the situation for the first time, but this kid was stunned and didn't answer the phone.

Luo Zhongxun looked up to the sky and sighed: It seems that this step is a wrong step, and the pony is helpless, so he deliberately wants to avoid me......

As the clock ticked by, late at night, it seemed that the newspaper's regular deadline was approaching.

Qin Chuan, the editor-in-chief, carefully read the manuscript submitted by Jiang Ruyun, checked the typesetting and packaging of the night shift editor, and signed his name on the review form.

According to the regulations of the newspaper, major manuscripts need to be signed and approved by the top leader before they can be finalized and printed, so he came to Luo Zhongxun's office with the sample in high spirits.

"Lao Luo, this manuscript is so beautiful!" Qin Chuan couldn't hide his excitement, "It's not that the writing is good, but that the incident itself is simply too dramatic! From the theft of mining to the suspicion of corpses, from the identification of mining disasters to the identification of identities...... It's almost a movie script!"

Luo Zhongxun was not in the mood to listen to his praise, and he was unwilling to review the layout, hoping that he could find something wrong and prevent the opponent's pawn from completing this unprecedented feat.

Unfortunately, with the full cooperation of all aspects of the newspaper, this manuscript has a very high degree of completion and can be called a drop of water.

Luo Zhongxun sighed secretly. With the last glimmer of hope dashed, he slowly picked up his pen and prepared to sign the final confirmation column.

At this moment, the phone on his desk rang rapidly.

After answering the phone for a short time, Luo Zhongxun almost didn't say a word throughout the whole process, and after putting down the microphone, he also put down his pen, raised his eyes and shook his head at Qin Chuan: "Old Qin, there is a risk that this manuscript will be untrue, we can't release it rashly!"

Qin Chuan couldn't believe his ears: "This ...... How is it possible? Lei Zhenye is a figure with a head and a face, he killed his relatives and reported his own brother, and there is so much evidence, and even the endorsement of the police!"

Confused, he began to wonder, "Who made this call?"

Luo Zhongxun smiled slightly: "It's Ma Fei." He found some key evidence, which is said to be enough to overturn all of Lei Zhenye's statements, but there is actually something else going on in this matter......"

"Ma Fei? Isn't he still suspended? Besides, this news is from Xiaojiang, what is he going to do blindly? This not only breaks the rules, but also may provoke the dissatisfaction of Mr. Long, Lao Luo, if you believe him so much, aren't you afraid that he will affect you?"

Qin Chuan's persuasion was not unreasonable, but Luo Zhongxun was dismissive.

"I'll tell you the truth, Ma Fei's suspension is just my special arrangement, and he was the first to discover this news, but Xiao Jiang is the one who grabbed the clue later!" Luo Zhongxun explained a little, and said with a firm gaze, "Anyway, postpone the deadline, let's wait for Ma Fei to come back and ask him face to face!"

At the same time, Jiang Ruyun, who had just finished writing the manuscript, was continuing her excitement in Long Zhaoxue's office. She recalls the interviews during the day, and recounts the experience as if she were giving a journalism award acceptance speech.

Long Zhaoxue was also very optimistic about her manuscript, and sighed with relief: "When I decided to arrange you into the evening newspaper, it seems that I really made the right move! Today, you seize the opportunity to get out of the way, and in the coming year I will find an opportunity to send you to the position of deputy in the department, and then you will be promoted to ...... regular."

He did not dwell on the latter words, lest the young niece be complacent. In his plan, Jiang Ruyun will become an important chess piece he planted in the evening newspaper, once she evolves from a small soldier to a "prince", it will undoubtedly be much more convenient for her to remotely influence the decision-making of the evening newspaper and further divide and disintegrate the camp of the evening newspaper.

The uncle and nephew were talking happily, but Jiang Ruyun suddenly received a call from Lin Xiaoli.

"What? the manuscript has been killed?" she exclaimed, like a basin of cold water poured on her head.

Long Zhaoxue got up and said in a deep voice: "Who is so bold that they dare to kill a manuscript of this quality? Is this killing the manuscript, or is it trying to kill me?"
