Before Li Shuguang took the stage, he walked past Li Guoqiang and threw an excited and fiery glance at his uncle. Li Guoqiang frowned, turned his head to the side, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

Zhao Guoqing, who was on the rostrum, had been carefully observing Li Guoqiang, and when he saw him like this, his heart suddenly moved: Could it be that Li Guoqiang's visit was really temporarily assigned and arranged by the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Minister Wei? Is it really to learn from experience and prepare for the next step in popularizing the chief reporter system in the whole system?

Zhao Guoqing decided to give it a try.

As soon as Li Shuguang took the stage, Zhao Guoqing waved his hand strangely and said loudly: "Before the last round of inspection begins, let us welcome Minister Li with warm applause to give important instructions!"

Li Guoqiang frowned, hesitated, knowing that Zhao Guoqing deliberately took his own army, but he had to get up and face everyone, took the wireless microphone from Tian Huize, the director of the editorial office, and said loudly: "I can't talk about the instructions, let's talk about my personal feelings." Today's open competition for the appointment of the chief reporter of the morning newspaper has been through the collective research and decision of the party committee of the morning newspaper and has also been submitted to the ministry for examination and approval. This morning, I had some discussions with Minister Wei, and Minister Wei also agreed that through this form, a benign employment mechanism should be established within our media units, in which the capable are promoted and the mediocre are demoted, regardless of seniority......

Li Guoqiang's words are obviously all official words. But listening to Zhao Guoqing's ears had a different taste, he took the lead in applauding after Li Guoqiang finished his speech, and everyone also applauded warmly, and the applause lasted for a long time.

Li Guoqiang waved his hand, turned around, and threw an indifferent glance at Zhao Guoqing. The two looked at each other, and they didn't rub and collide with any sparks, but they also understood each other.

Li Guoqiang sat back in place with mixed feelings.

Many people think that he is here to force the palace and increase the weight of his nephew Li Shuguang's successful bidding, but in fact he is not - he really does not want to appear on the current occasion. Moreover, in his opinion, not only could he not increase Li Shuguang's bargaining chips when he came to the scene, but directly cut off Li Shuguang's opportunity.

Even if Li Shuguang can compete according to the convention, with him, the deputy minister, on the spot, in order to avoid suspicion, he must find a way to win Li Shuguang. Otherwise, he will be publicly saddled with the stigma of using power for personal gain.

Li Shuguang on the stage looked excited and fearless.

didn't know that he had been driven into the abyss, at least this time he lost the opportunity to turn over.

Li Guoqiang can't talk about being selfless, but he is an official who attaches great importance to his personal political future, and he is very likely to be a district and county magistrate in the next step.

Zhang Yuqiang coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and then said: "Li Shuguang, please briefly state your understanding and feelings about this chief reporter competition." ”

Li Shuguang's face turned red: "Distinguished leaders and colleagues, I feel honored and excited to be the first batch of chief reporter candidates for the newspaper. First of all, I would like to thank my leaders for giving me this opportunity, and I would like to thank my colleagues for their recognition of my work......"

Li Shuguang spoke in a high-sounding manner for a long time, but Zhang Yuqiang remained silent for a long time before he said: "How many years have you been working in the newspaper? Have you done your daily work conscientiously? Do you think you have met the qualifications and conditions for being the chief reporter?"

Zhang Yuqiang asked a series of questions.

In the process of Zhang Yuqiang's question, Zhao Guoqing was silent, and the attitude of other high-level officials was also quite interesting.

"I have been working in the newspaper for six years, I love the profession of a journalist, I am willing to devote my life to the journalism of the Republic, and I think I have met the standards of a chief reporter. Li Shuguang's answer was sonorous and forceful, but it was obviously copied from a book, and the loftiness of "devoting his whole life to the journalism of the republic" always made people feel extremely awkward.

There were people in the audience who were secretly pouting.

Zhang Yuqiang smiled: "You answered very well, everyone applauded!"

Li Shuguang first bowed to the rostrum with a look of excitement, and then turned to thank the audience, but in exchange for sparse applause.

The smile on Li Shuguang's face froze, but he still gritted his teeth and stood up straight, ready to stand in place and wait for the leadership's review vote.

Suddenly, there was a slight boo from the audience.

Tian Huize, the director of the editorial office, hurriedly ran over, stood aside and waved to him. Li Shuguang frowned, and didn't react for a while. Tian Huize had to run closer, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Li, come down first, there are two comrades who want to come to the stage to make a statement!"

Li Shuguang came to his senses at this time, and immediately walked off the stage in a hurry with a red face.

Li Guoqiang in the audience held his forehead with his hand and shook his head secretly, feeling a little more disgusted with the helplessness of this unsuccessful nephew.

Next, Zhou Zheng's question-taking session was lackluster, with no highlights and no loopholes, anyway, everyone knew that he would be elected, and not too many people paid attention to him. On the contrary, Guo Yang's ascension to power in the end made everyone's eyes widen, and dozens of pairs of complicated eyes were projected on him.

Originally, Guo Yang was a strong competitor of Li Shuguang.

Originally, it was not known who killed the deer this time.

Originally, judging from the situation in the previous round, Guo Yang's chances of winning were rising.

But everything can only become "as it is".

Vice Minister Li is here, who of these executives on the rostrum can not give face?

Of course, there are also some people who are speculating in their hearts: there is also a backstage behind Guo Yang - it is said that he is still a big leader at the level of a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and this kind of rumor has also quietly spread in the newspaper, although I don't know whether it is true or not, but Zhao Guoqing's appreciation and recognition of Guo Yang is not fake.

It depends on how Zhao Guoqing cuts and chooses.

So some people are waiting to see the show.

The competition for the chief reporter, who was originally unremarkable and could fade out of the bird, is quite interesting because of Li Guoqiang's arrival and because of the various undercurrents behind it.

Guo Yang walked up to the stage with a calm face.

When he raised his head and faced all the newspaper leaders on the rostrum, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled in a strange way.

Zhang Yuqiang smiled: "Guo Yang, as a newcomer, you have been a reporter who has been working for more than a year, and you can come so far in this chief reporter competition, which in itself shows that the newspaper recognizes your business ability." Here, I want to ask: If you lose this competition, how will you treat it correctly?"

The logic of Zhang Yuqiang's questioning made everyone in the audience secretly shake their heads when they heard it, knowing that Guo Yang was probably completely out of play.

Guo Yang smiled lightly, and his next answer was shocking: "Dear leaders, teachers and colleagues, I have decided to give up this competition!"

Abandon?!

The audience was in an uproar.

On the rostrum, they also looked at each other, and Zhao Guoqing raised his eyebrows.

Li Shuguang sat in the audience and sneered secretly in his heart: "Count you as acquaintances! What can you do if you don't give up?

Zhang Yuqiang frowned: "Why do you want to give up on the spot? Are you afraid of losing or not daring to face the final result?"

Guo Yang smiled: "Leaders, I'm not afraid of anything, as Mr. Zhang said, I can go so far in this competition, there is nothing to regret." It's just that I think that the chief reporter is not only a kind of treatment, but also an honor and responsibility, but also a respect for the profession of front-line reporters, and it is reasonable to give limited opportunities to those veteran comrades who have worked hard at the grassroots level and on the front line for many years.

After Guo Yang finished speaking, he bowed to the stage, and then the clouds descended lightly.

There was a silent silence.

Lin Meimei frowned and looked at Guo Yang who came off the stage, not knowing what to say. His eyes opened and sighed lightly, but he nodded secretly to Guo Yang, feeling that Guo Yang's decision to quit was really a great wisdom.

In Zhang's view, Guo Yang is "unburdening" Zhao Guoqing and the leaders of the newspaper, and at the same time choosing to quit in an unfavorable situation, which has won the favor of most people.

The speculation of the eyes is plausible, yes and no.

Guo Yang's decision has this factor, but it is more of a strategy of judging the situation, taking retreat as advance, and protecting oneself wisely.

First, the outcome of forcible participation to the end is not yet known. Even if he finally defeats Li Shuguang, even if Li Guoqiang doesn't have anything to do with his nephew's thoughts, Guo Yang will make enemies because of this. He is not afraid of anything, but for him now, it is more appropriate to be a low-key person and act in secret.

Second, as a newcomer, it is certainly a good thing to be able to compete for the position of chief reporter, but in the real environment, there are still many veteran comrades who are not convinced, causing more people to be jealous and suspicious. The treatment and face of this chief reporter are dispensable to him, and there is no need to put himself in the undercurrent because of this.

Third, he has to show his demeanor and attitude. At the same time, it is also a kind of temptation and art that takes retreat as advance. He wanted to test the true attitude of Zhao Guoqing and other high-level leaders, and was unwilling to be a victim of disputes between high-level leaders.

Guo Yang's on-the-spot expression that he wanted to quit obviously caught Zhao Guoqing and others off guard. Several people got together and bumped into each other, and Zhao Guoqing suddenly made a decision on the cadre platform.

Zhao Guoqing slowly got up and said in a deep voice: "Guo Yang, your willingness to give the opportunity to the old comrade shows the consciousness and quality of your new comrade. However, the purpose of this chief reporter competition is to break the inherent model of seniority and select excellent business backbones with both ability and ability. Therefore, after the discussion and research of several of our judges, we do not agree with your on-the-spot withdrawal. ”

In this way, in order to ensure the openness, fairness and fairness of this competition, the competition and evaluation committee decided to temporarily change the competition method and adopt democratic evaluation to obtain the final result. The editorial office immediately arranged for the first place Zhou Zheng, the second place Li Shuguang, the third place Guo Yang and the fourth place Gao Song to accept the on-site voting together, and the top two votes were elected. ”

Li Shuguang's face changed suddenly.

Guo Yang withdrew, and he could have been directly elected with Zhou Zheng. However, with such an attitude of the management, a so-called democratic evaluation link was added, and Gao Song was allowed to come in and accept the on-site evaluation with the three of them...... That's not right!

Li Shuguang turned his head to look at his uncle, Li Guoqiang.

Li Guoqiang had a serious face and turned a blind eye to his plea for help.
