Chapter 36: The Great and the Small (2)

There is such a wise saying in officialdom: Those who are officials must be able to be big and small, so that they can be good at dancing with long sleeves left and right, and sharpen their heads to climb up. Although Meng Tianxiang is not a person who mixes in officialdom, as the only son of a deputy department-level cadre of a provincial department, he has won the three flavors of officialdom.

Because she was frightened, Xue Chunlan took leave to recuperate at home for a few days. Zhou Dingnan also pushed all the social activities and stayed at home with his daughter to accompany his wife.

In the morning, Meng Tianxiang came to the door with a large bag of gifts, to be honest, because of Meng Tianxiang's realistic performance that day, Zhou Dingnan had a strong dislike for him. But after all, he is the child of a high-ranking official in the province, and he is a student that his wife has admired for many years, and Zhou Dingnan doesn't like it anymore and doesn't want to let him in.

Xue Chunlan was lazily nestled on the sofa in the living room in casual clothes at home, and her daughter Zhou Bing was by her side. She looked at the familiar but unfamiliar Meng Tianxiang who walked in slowly with a respectful smile, and she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

Regarding Meng Tianxiang's abandonment of her, it would be a lie to say that she had no guilt in her heart. But she herself is a realistic and rational woman, judging from her way of thinking, at a critical juncture, Meng Tianxiang is not wrong to choose Mingzhe to protect herself, but she is a little disappointed.

Zhou Bing glanced at Meng Tianxiang in disgust.

Compared with her mother's realistic rationality, Zhou Bing is a girl who loves and hates clearly. She didn't like Meng Tianxiang in the first place, but after the previous episode, she undoubtedly hated it even more.

But to the surprise of Zhou Dingnan's father and daughter, even Xue Chunlan herself didn't expect that Meng Tianxiang walked quickly to the living room, and actually knelt at Xue Chunlan's feet with a puff, crying bitterly, and tears were crossed.

This kneeling caught Zhou Dingnan's father and daughter off guard and was at a loss, and also made Xue Chunlan's heart soften.

"Xiao Meng, what are you doing, hurry up, have something to say!" Xue Chunlan smiled bitterly and got up to support Meng Tianxiang.

"Teacher, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I don't know what I thought at the time, but I was really scared, I was afraid that I would die at the gun of the murderer, I was afraid of death......" Meng Tianxiang burst into tears, choked up: "I'm really a beast, I actually put you in a dangerous situation, I ......"

Meng Tianxiang suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped himself heavily, he really used a lot of strength in this slap, and after a snap, five clear red fingerprints appeared on his delicate tear-stained face!

Meng Tianxiang cried like a child, lying on Xue Chunlan's knees hysterically and in pain, whether he was really repentant or pretending, anyway, Xue Chunlan must have been moved by his series of actions, and even accompanied him to wipe a handful of tears, and comforted him softly, motioning him to sit beside him.

If Meng Tianxiang defended himself, even if he said it out of thin air, it might not resonate with Xue Chunlan. But Meng Tianxiang did not find a reason for his cowardice, but simply and bluntly cried about his "fear" and timidity, and directly admitted his mistake, which completely shattered the little rejection defense line that had just grown in Xue Chunlan's heart.

"How could the teacher blame you? At that time, if it was the teacher or anyone, he would not go in and die, it's okay, don't cry, the teacher has never blamed you! Okay, Xiao Meng, the teacher has forgiven you!" Xue Chunlan's face was filled with the gentle glow of motherhood, and she gently stroked Meng Tianxiang's head with tears, this scene made Zhou Dingnan's father and daughter stunned.

How could this person be so shameless?, Zhou Bing thought to himself.

This kid is not simple...... It seems that I really have to get to know him all over again! Zhou Dingnan had a strange color on his face.

When Meng Tianxiang and his teacher Xue Chunlan were relieved of their suspicions, Sun Liang, deputy editor-in-chief of the Northern Morning Post, proposed a list of business personnel at today's regular editorial board, suggesting that the newspaper transfer some key business personnel to the reporter station to enrich the grassroots news gathering force, involving six people, one of whom was Guo Yang.

The reasons are, of course, high-sounding. There are more than a dozen large and small reporter stations under the banner of the Northern Morning Post, but they are almost nothing and do not play their due role. There are as many as seven or eight reporters in each station, and as few as three or five people, and apart from submitting an attendance sheet to the labor and management section of the newspaper once a month, there is no movement at ordinary times.

What performance can be expected from a "nursing home" that is supposed to arrange older journalists and related households?

Listening to Sun Liang's rhetoric, editor-in-chief Zhao Guoqing frowned, everyone knew what Sun Liang's real purpose was, but there was no way to refute his words.

On the list he proposed, except for Guo Yang, they are all older "old fritters" who are not strong in the newspaper's internal business but have to be placed, and it is okay for these people to be arranged, but Guo Yang is a rookie reporter with outstanding ability, and he is a professional talent who is urgently needed for news gathering and editing, and it will be completely abolished if he is put in the reporter's station.

"Lao Sun, the institutional setup and personnel arrangements are not issues discussed at the editorial board, this issue will be put aside for a while, and I will mention it again at the party committee of the newspaper in the second half of the year. Zhao Guoqing said in a deep voice. He is not only the editor-in-chief, but also the deputy secretary of the party committee and the second-in-command of the newspaper, so he is naturally qualified to say this.

But Sun Liang came prepared this time, he was determined to kick Guo Yang, the thorn in his eye, out of front of his eyes, so he didn't care if this move would make Zhao Guoqing unhappy.

He immediately insisted: "Mr. Zhao, in fact, this is not what I meant. Two days ago, I was walking in the park and met President Zheng, who meant that the restructuring of the organization is a matter of great importance, involving all aspects, and should be considered carefully and holistically. However, we can make a fuss from the perspective of business adjustment and revitalize the following reporter stations as soon as possible, otherwise, what is the point of spending so much money to maintain the operation of a dozen or so reporter stations? This money is too unjustly spent!"

Zhao Guoqing's face changed.

Sun Liang went so far as to raise the banner of president Zheng Jianning, and as deputy editor-in-chief, he went beyond himself as editor-in-chief to directly "communicate" with the president, where did he put the editor-in-chief? If Sun Liang's behavior in the past could only disgust Zhao Guoqing, today this kind of thing has actually touched Zhao Guoqing's bottom line, and in the words of officialdom, it is a taboo.

Zhao Guoqing's deep gaze was projected on Sun Liang's body, and the corners of Sun Fatzi's mouth twitched, but he straightened his waist without fear.

He knew that he would offend Zhao Guoqing by doing so. But to be honest, he didn't care too much, because he was born as a secretary, and the city leader he once followed was about to be promoted to the deputy secretary in charge of cadres and party masses in the city in the second half of this year, ranking third in command. With this backer, don't talk about Zhao Guoqing, even Zheng Jianning, you have to give him some face.

He even had ideas for going further. If Zhao Guoqing can be squeezed away, he will be the editor-in-chief and successfully solve the problem at the department level.

Zhao Guoqing took a deep breath, and then suddenly realized that Sun Fatzi was ostensibly to retaliate against Guo Yang, but he was actually coming at himself.

Several other deputy editors-in-chief are also aware of this, some people think that Sun Liang is arrogant and excessive, but some people secretly have their own calculations in their hearts.

Speaking realistically, if you can climb from the grassroots level to the post at the county and department level, all of them are the best of the best, and they have the best ability to observe words and colors and see the wind, so that the rudder is exquisite in all directions. Anyway, this is the case in the system, since Sun Liang dares not to take Zhao Guoqing in his eyes, he must have his confidence, so now let's see how Zhao Guoqing responds.
