In the gap between Chen Jizhou, Qu Changguo, and Luo Fangyi, someone sat on the side, and the three of them looked up and saw that it was Xiahou Mingqi. The three of them hurriedly stood up to greet the president.

"Sit down, sit down, eat a meal, why are you so exquisite. Xiahou Mingqi smiled and beckoned everyone to sit down, "What are you talking about? ”

When everyone saw that Xiahou Mingqi was so close to the people, they felt that it would be too ignorant to avoid it. Maybe the leader is lonely and lonely when he eats alone, let's accompany the leader to eat, chatter, and relieve boredom.

Not to mention anything else, after Xiahou Mingqi came to Beijiang Evening News, one of the most intuitive changes was to eat. Whether it is Zhao Qingdong or the previous president, whenever he eats in the canteen, he has always liked to open a small stove, an elegant single room, and a few high-quality stir-fried dishes.

Of course, such a small stove does not mean that the leaders eat and drink the sea, or secretly eat some sea cucumber and abalone, and even sometimes, they only eat some green vegetables and side dishes. After all, when you are old and the conditions are good, you have long passed the era of big fish and big meat.

Then why do you need to open a small stove? Because a small stove is a kind of treatment, there is a special chef to do it, and the dishes are more delicate and delicious, and the large stove is usually only used by the chef's apprentice to practice, and the taste must be a lot worse.

In addition, leaders usually come from all over the world, and they come together for great goals, and they inevitably miss the taste of their hometown when they eat, which is all determined by the chef's spoon, which is related to the physical and mental happiness of the leaders and the overall work of the newspaper, which is naturally very important.

However, Xiahou Mingqi is too young, he has never enjoyed such treatment in the group before, and he never thought that he would have this kind of treatment. So on his first day at the new unit, he was taken aback when the office secretary asked him what he wanted to eat for lunch.

"What do you want to eat? What's the matter, you kid want a treat?" Xiahou Mingqi was just joking, when he worked in the group, he often joked with his colleagues.

The secretary was startled, thinking he was serious: "No, no, hehe." The newspaper has a rule that the menu in a single room will be notified to the logistics in advance before the meal. ”

Xiahou Mingqi suddenly understood that he was completely different from before, as the top leader of the newspaper, he had to hold it when he spoke and did things, and he looked like a leader, and he couldn't be as hippie and smiling as before. Even in his opinion, the big grin, thick and fine is one of the reasons why he has been smooth along the way.

However, after not eating in a single room for two days, he found that he was seriously uncomfortable with such a rhythm. He felt like a blind and deaf man, completely ignorant of the situation of the newspaper staff.

No, the status quo must be changed! Since then, the small stove has been completely abolished.

The chef's excellent skills suddenly lost their usefulness and were lost for a while.

"President, we're having fun in our suffering, hehe. "Luo Fangyi is very refreshing.

Since slowly adapting to the pace of work at the newspaper and integrating into the circle of reporters, Luo Fangyi has quickly returned to the state of his college days, speaking outright, smart and playful.

"How do you say this?" Xiahou Mingqi frowned, looking puzzled.

This canteen is really a distribution center and transit point for gossip news and gossip. Xiahou Mingqi felt more and more that the decision to abolish Xiaozao was too wise.

"Because the code word is very tired, I work overtime all day, and it is only when I eat that I am the most relaxed. Luo Fangyi replied, "Although the quality of this meal is not complimentary, it is cheap after all." ”

"President, Xiao Luo is joking with you," Qu Changguo quickly explained, "Everyone is really working hard to report on the World Expo during this time, and overtime has become the norm." ”

"Oh, this matter," Xiahou Mingqi pondered slightly, "Changguo, you go and call the canteen manager." ”

Qu Changguo was stunned for a moment, and thought, you Luo Fangyi, what nonsense, do you know Xiahou Mingqi? If he is a person who holds grudges, you will suffer it in the future!

Despite some reluctance, Qu Changguo subconsciously responded: "Okay, president." ”

The canteen manager quickly followed Qu Changguo to Xiahou Mingqi.

"President, are you looking for me?" the cafeteria manager stood respectfully beside him.

Since the abolition of Xiaozao, the canteen manager has always felt that there is no channel to communicate with the president, and he is still thinking hard about how to make the president more satisfied. Now that he was suddenly named by Xiahou Mingqi to talk, he was really flattered.

"Who is in charge of the big stove now?"

The cafeteria manager was a little surprised, why did the president ask so carefully?

"It's the chef. ”

"Are you sure?" Xiahou Mingqi looked at him, "You can't fool me, although I'm new here, I can still eat the difference between this dish and the dish." ”

The canteen manager finally understood the reason why Xiahou Mingqi called him over, and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem: "The chef is usually busy, and his apprentice is mainly responsible for the big stove. ”

"! He's busy? What is he busy with? What's more important than a meal for hundreds of employees?"

The canteen manager knew that he was at a loss and did not dare to defend himself.

"Also, you make arrangements tomorrow, and in the next month, the canteen will be on duty at night, and supper, tea, etc. will be prepared. Xiahou Mingqi put down the chopsticks in his hand and continued, "These days, reporters are working very hard for the coverage of the World Expo, and our logistics work must be guaranteed." Oh, by the way, the comrades of the discipline inspection team have also been working hard recently, and they have to take care of it. ”

"Okay president, don't worry, I'll arrange it. The cafeteria manager turned to leave.

"President, you're amazing. Luo Fangyi almost shouted hooray.

"You guys work so hard, I can't do anything, if you can't even do logistics support, it's too incompetent. Xiahou Mingqi half-jokingly. He looked at everyone's plates, they were all empty, and he had just eaten half of them, "You guys can leave first after eating." Lao Chen, if you're not busy, stay with me for a while. ”

In many cases, in addition to work, the opportunity to enhance the relationship between subordinates and leaders is when they talk about it after dinner.

Qu Changguo originally wanted to stay with Xiahou Mingqi, but since he asked Chen Jizhou to stay, there must be something to talk about, and if he forced himself to stay at this time, it would be too uninteresting. So, he gave Luo Fangyi a look, and the two of them picked up their plates and said goodbye and left.

Qu Changguo picked up the scraps and glanced at Chen Jizhou when he got up to leave, and gave the discipline inspection team more food in the evening? Now there is something to talk to Chen Jizhou? Coupled with Luo Fangyi's strange behavior, Qu Changguo is already very sure that the newspaper is secretly carrying out an operation, and this operation is a big job led by Xiahou Mingqi. It is also certain that all the personnel of this operation are deliberately avoiding themselves. This made Qu Changguo's heart more and more uneasy.

Chen Jizhou reported with a smile and watched Qu Changguo. The eyes of the two masters of the rivers and lakes were intertwined, and in just a few seconds, they had already completed a sword-like confrontation.

Xiahou Mingqi watched the backs of the two of them getting farther and farther away, and asked Chen Jizhou: "How is the progress of Operation with the Wind?"

"The task force is working overtime, and some written materials have just been sorted out this morning, and some materials are being sorted out.

"No," Xiahou Mingqi stretched out his hand holding chopsticks and shook it, "You check at your pace, and when the material is detailed, show me again." This is not a trivial matter, and many things even if I say it do not count, and they need to be decided by the leaders of the group. Therefore, every step of the action needs to be carefully considered, and no one can be given a handle. ”

"Yes, there are too many employees involved in the action with the wind, almost half of them, and I am also under a lot of pressure. It also involves the two newly promoted deputy editors-in-chief. ”

"If there is any work that needs to be done by the newspaper or even the group, you just say it, don't have any worries. Xiahou Mingqi said.

"President, did you mention the action with the wind to Qu Changguo?" Chen Jizhou finally said the question in his heart. He must have a clear understanding of this matter, so that he can better deal with Qu Changguo's various provocations in the open and in the dark.

"That's right," Xia Houming said calmly, "I mentioned the newspaper's re-investigation of Xiangbei's case, but I didn't mention Operation with the Wind." After all, he is the executive deputy editor-in-chief, and this matter cannot be completely hidden from him. Of course, I didn't mention any of the confidential information to him. ”

Chen Jizhou listened to Xiahou Mingqi's words, and felt that his question seemed to be a little inappropriate, he was the boss of the newspaper, and it was his right to say it or not.

"That's not what I meant, President. In the past two days, Qu Changguo seems to be particularly concerned about the affairs of the discipline inspection team. My guess is that he probably knows something. Chen Jizhou hurriedly explained.

"Old Chen, you seem to have a prejudice against Qu Changguo, have you had any festivals before?" asked Xiahou Mingqi. He felt that Qu Changguo was a little similar to himself, young and strong, and decisive. He didn't understand why Chen Jizhou was so resistant to Qu Changguo.

Chen Jizhou was stunned for a moment. I don't know how to answer.

"President, we don't have any holidays. Qu Changguo's resume is also very clean, and there have been no problems. It's just that there are some rumors about him that are not very good. ”

"Rumors? It seems that I still don't know much about the management of Beijiang Evening News, what are the interesting rumors, you can gossip. ”

Xiahou Mingqi had a hippie smile, as if he had returned to the days of working in the group.

"This ......" Chen Jizhou hesitated, "President, after all, this is all rumors, and there is no iron confirmation hammer." If I told you that, wouldn't it be tantamount to making a small report? Can't say, can't say, hehe. ”

This Chen Jizhou is really an old fritter, half swallowed and half swallowed.

"Well, if you don't say it, I'm not reluctant. However, you did remind me how to get to know my colleagues more fully. ”

"President, I have a suggestion......"

"What advice?" you say. ”

"According to the current situation, if this operation continues to go deeper, it will involve too many people, relying solely on the manpower, material resources, and even ...... of the task force Even the level, I'm afraid there will be a lot of obstacles, and there are many links that may be very difficult to check, so ......"

"So what?"

"Can you be the leader of this task force?"

Xiahou Mingqi didn't expect Chen Jizhou to mention this topic, he put down his chopsticks and thought carefully about what Chen Jizhou said: "Old Chen, you are going to tie me to the chariot." ”

Xiahou Mingqi was obviously joking. He understood the original intention of Chen Jizhou's words.

"President, I didn't mean that......" Chen Jizhou felt that Xiahou Mingqi's words were inappropriate: we are all people on this chariot, and there is no one kidnapping whom. He was about to explain, but was interrupted by Xiahou Mingqi.

"It's a joke. You're right, Operation Windy is a high-level covert operation. There are many things that are difficult to move forward without endorsing. Therefore, I just thought about it, as long as it is conducive to the advancement of the investigation, I can be the team leader. In the next two days, you will draft a document and draw up a new list of members of the task force, one for each member. This also encourages morale. However, again, we must do a good job of confidentiality!"

Chen Jizhou understands what Xiahou Mingqi means very well, people who are capable reporters are all human beings and have strong sensitivity. Once you know that the configuration of the task force leader is at the level of president, everyone will naturally understand the seriousness of the matter.

"It's great to be able to upgrade Operation with the Wind to Project No. 1. Xiahou Mingqi was able to make a decision so quickly, which made Chen Jizhou a little surprised, and he was also surprised and excited. It seems that this young man is bold and careful, not a reckless person, "In addition, regarding the matter of adding temporary members to the task force, I have drawn up a list, a total of four people have been added, all of whom are from the administrative department, and I will show you in the afternoon." ”

Xiahou Mingqi nodded, picked up the bowl and gulped down the rice.

"President, I have one more question...... Chen Jizhou hesitated, not knowing whether to say it or not.

"Lao Chen, if you have something to say, just say it. Although Xiahou Mingqi has only been at the newspaper office for a few months, he has gradually understood the temper and character of many people. Chen Jizhou has nothing to say about his work, and he is dedicated to his duties. But it may be due to the delicate minds of southerners, who sometimes speak too carefully.

"Have you considered the end result of Operation Wind? Oh, I'm just reminding you, after all, you've just arrived at the newspaper office and don't know a lot about it. Chen Jizhou asked a serious question. Based on his experience in the newspaper for so many years, it is necessary to make this media star understand the seriousness of the matter, and even do not rule out the possibility of a backlash that will hurt him.

"Of course. Xiahou Mingqi replied simply with two words, and continued to eat, after all, he was young, and the pace of eating was obviously faster than Chen Jizhou.

Chen Jizhou realized that Xiahou Mingqi seemed unwilling to talk about this topic, he immediately swallowed what he wanted to say, maybe I was worried about nothing, this young man can come this far, naturally he has his tricks, maybe he can change this newspaper to a new atmosphere.

"Uh, why don't you eat it?" asked Xiahou Mingqi.

"Hehe, I have a small amount of food, you eat more. ”

"No wonder you're in such good shape. However, we have a difficult task now, and we can win the battle by eating more," Xiahou Mingqi said, "There are many things, as long as I think it is right, I will do my best." As for what will happen at the end of the day, I will think about it, but I will not think about it in such detail. Otherwise, nothing can be advanced. ”

Xiahou Mingqi's words are too clear, but he is answering Xiahou Mingqi's last question, and he is also showing his attitude and principles in the workplace.

After hearing this, Chen Jizhou felt ashamed of himself. He felt that Xiahou Mingqi was not only stating his position, but actually attacking himself. Isn't this exactly the style of doing things that I, Zhao Qingdong, and Yu Chongming did? It was because of my worries and selfishness that Xiang Bei's case became more and more biased, and even went to the abyss of crime.

That's right, I'm going to retire in two years, so I don't have much time left, so it's time to make a fight.
