Chapter 155: A Big Deal
As the saying goes, an autumn rain and a cold, the weather in September, the temperature is the same day by day, although the head is still the scorching sun, but it has faded away the impetuousness of the hot summer, and people's mood has also precipitated.
Qu Changguo stared at the sky, but anger was accumulating in his heart. What made him even more worried was that Fat Dong set the meeting place on the first floor of the Beijiang Evening News. The first floor faces the street, as early as more than ten years ago, the original newspaper director was optimistic about the location of this area and decided to change the first floor into a shop for rent. In this way, although the income of the newspaper has been increased, it has suffered from the staff, after all, an open system is inevitably mixed, and parking is inconvenient.
But now, with the decline of traditional media, these cafes, banks, hairdressers, etc., have become the main mainstay of income for newspapers.
Fat Dong made an appointment to meet in the café on the first floor, what kind of medicine is sold in this kid's gourd? Once this kind of thing is seen by colleagues, isn't it very troublesome!
The more Qu Changguo thought about it, the more irritable he became, so he took the elevator to the top floor of the newspaper office, walked to the edge of the building, and looked down on the Hedong City.
This is really a good place, why didn't I appreciate this city from this angle before? On the one hand, facing the mother river of Hedong City, and on the other hand, relying on the most prosperous commercial center, I have to admire the newspaper leaders at that time for their foresight and ability to choose this place to build a building.
However, he is not in the mood to enjoy the view right now. Fat Dong's sudden WeChat disrupted his career plan. He had a countdown card in his heart, and every day he turned a page. There are three months to go! There must be no accident in these three months!
Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. After waiting for a few seconds, the phone was connected.
"Hey, you've been feeling alright...... Yes, yes, everything is going well on my side...... I don't need you to come out, I can solve it myself...... Thank you for your trust in me! Don't worry, I'll do a good job when I get there...... Uh-huh, I'm waiting for your news. Hanging up the phone, Qu Changguo breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead.
This hellish weather, it's still so hot! Qu Changguo hid in the shade, found a raised wall and sat down, took out a cigarette and smoked it. After a while, Qu Changguo seemed to have a draft brewed in his heart, everything was decided, and then he looked at the time, there were still ten minutes before the meeting time, he extinguished his cigarette butt, tidied up his clothes and hairstyle, and came to the café on the first floor.
Qu Changguo swept around, and saw a chubby lump in a corner from a distance, it was Fat Dong, this clown who used to look very funny and ridiculous, why did he look so hateful and a little terrible now?
"Mr. Qu, please take a seat!" Fat Dong saw Qu Changguo coming towards him and beckoned, "I ordered you a cup of coffee to refresh yourself at noon." ”
"Thanks, I only drink tea, not coffee. ”
"Oh, it's okay, you don't drink me!"
"I'm too busy to have time to make small talk with you, so let's get down to business. ”
"I don't have time for small talk. Fat Dong took out his phone, "The photos are all here." Do you want me to open it for you?"
Qu Changguo squeezed his hand in a bit of a panic: "How did you get these photos!"
"I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet, don't worry, I'm not interested in following you all day long and secretly filming your ugly things. On the contrary, it was you who were too careless to manage the women around you. ”
"How many photos do you have?"
"If I'm not mistaken, this woman should be your subordinate, and I should be able to match the name, after all, there are only a few female reporters in the Beijiang Evening News! Well, I've seen this before, and it seems that she is also a reporter from any media. Fat Dong looked through the photo album of his mobile phone seriously, "Smartphones and 4G networks are really good things." ”
Qu Changguo's conversation with Fat Dong only lasted ten minutes, and it was obvious that in these short ten minutes, his inner drama could be pieced together into a 120-minute screen movie.
Fat Dong was delicate, and he could see the changes in the expression of the well-dressed and dignified newspaper executive opposite. That's right, Qu Changguo panicked!
Of course, Qu Changguo wants to be calm, so many years of wind and rain have already trained him to have a strong heart, since he dares to go to bed, he must dare to take responsibility. This is the bottom line that a man should have. However, these things in front of him made his heart unbearable.
After all, when you're facing death, when someone holds a gun to your temple, or holds a knife up to your neck, any calmness you have is there
It's meaningless, it only means that you lack the heart or don't want to live for a long time.
Qu Changguo has no shortage of eyes, and he has not lived enough, of course, he is not facing death, and no one has pointed a gun at him or put a knife on his neck. However, his career was his life. If he had fallen off the cliff this time, he would have died worse than Xiangbei, because he had stood taller.
Qu Changguo realized the seriousness of the situation, and suddenly changed his tone: "I should have no grievances with you, what do you want?"
"Not much. I remember I told you on the phone, I'm only for one person. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, are you for Luo Fangyi?" Qu Changguo is very smart, he knows the relationship between Fat Dong and Luo Fangyi, and the only one who can connect himself with this dead fat man is Luo Fangyi.
"Qu is always smart, and he can see through a little. Fat Dong spoke in a calm tone and looked very calm, but the ghost knew how panicked he was.
"Fat Dong, is it worth it for you to do this?, haven't you realized your situation yet?" Qu Changguo seemed to gradually come back to his senses, he had to knock and knock the young man in front of him, he didn't know the severity, "I'm not threatening you, as long as I say a word, your company will go out of business in minutes." Young man, remember the phrase, the arms can never resist the thighs!"
Fat Dong's eyes widened, listened to him very carefully, and replied thoughtfully: "Shut down in minutes...... In that case, I really want to thank Mr. Qu. You don't know, since I started this company, I haven't had a good night's sleep, and I want to die. If you can really help me make Shaoyang Media yellow, I will organize all the staff to beat gongs and drums to your house to thank you. ”
The more Fat Dong said, the more angry he became, damn, I don't know how thick the sky is, I can bear it if you mess with me, and you actually threaten to my company, that's Lao Tzu's hard work, Lao Tzu's life!
Hooligans know martial arts, no one can stop them, hooligans are educated, and anyone who sees them is afraid. Fat Dong's sarcastic words are obviously very effective.
Qu Changguo couldn't stop it anymore and was scared.
"Mr. Qu, you are engaged in journalism, and your family has a big business. You can mess with my company, but I can't mess with your newspaper. However, you should know what we're talking about. Fat Dong tapped on his phone. This knock also woke Qu Changguo up.
"Say, what's the condition?"
"That's right, Mr. Qu's attitude is correct now," Fat Dong smiled, "Let's have something to say, and the matter can be solved." As for my conditions, it is very simple, let Luo Fangyi return to his original position. ”
This is a decision made by the top management of the newspaper, and it is not something that I alone can decide. Qu Changguo rejected him. Any deal is reciprocal, and as the saying goes, the crop is worth its money. No wonder he took out such a powerful photo to negotiate terms with himself.
"Mr. Qu, don't think I don't know the inside story of the Yizhou flood report, because I'm there too. You should know better than anyone how that deadly manuscript was signed. I've already sent someone to investigate this matter, and it's your ghost. Mr. Qu, since we are all ghosts, don't talk about people!" Fat Dong's smile suddenly became gloomy, and the showdown time came.
"Okay, then take off the mask, it's really tiring to wear it every day," Qu Changguo breathed a sigh of relief, it was too tiring to live like this every day, "Yes, I deliberately asked the editor of the network department to sign the manuscript." Luo Fangyi has been working for several years, and still doesn't know where she stands, so I have to beat her well. Don't worry, I can find a way to solve Luo Fangyi's matter. But these photos are in your hands, and I will never be sure. ”
At this moment, Qu Changguo's usual character of being in a hurry and temperament has already collapsed. But then again, if it was really just for Luo Fangyi, it would have been easier to do.
"It's okay to rest assured. I'm a businessman, and the most important thing is integrity. Since I promise you, I will definitely fulfill my promise! I'll give you two days, you can see for yourself, I just want the result. ”
Qu Changguo understands in his heart that the handle is in the hands of others, and now he can't believe it or not. The top priority is to keep this matter down, and as for what happens in the future, we will talk about it later. One thing is undoubted, Fat Winter is already a time bomb that could explode at any time.
For Qu Changguo, ten minutes of dialogue in such an atmosphere is a long time.
At the end of the conversation, Qu Changguo hurried back to his office, as if he had completed a secret transaction. He spent an entire lunch break thinking about how to fix it.
As Fat Dong told him, if there is no way to solve it, it is his Qu Changguo's business, and Fat Dong only needs to get a result.
What should we do? This incident has touched the entire group, not just the matter of the Bac Giang Evening News, let alone the editor-in-chief office of the newspaper. Even if Luo Fangyi is allowed to land smoothly, this matter cannot be easily resolved, and someone is bound to stand up and take on all this.
Qu Changguo thought about it carefully, this manuscript should have been fed back to the leadership through internal channels, but it was publicly reported, causing an uproar in public opinion. Therefore, the root is still in the manuscript, either the board is typed in the editor-in-chief's office and is not checked in time, or the board is typed in front of the draft, and the manuscript is not transmitted according to the regulations.
The editor-in-chief's office cannot be held responsible, at most one secondary responsibility, otherwise he will be the first to take the blame. Qiancai is responsible? Qiancai only went to two people, Luo Fangyi and Zhang Zhiyao, since Luo Fangyi can't be responsible, then ......
Qu Changguo's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have thought of a solution. That's right.
The method has been thought of, things have to be done step by step, and two days should be enough.
The most important thing in the workplace is rules. Newspapers are similar to many organizations, and the process is very important, so that the people in charge at all levels cannot be singled out, and everyone feels that they are respected and comfortable with the optimal solution.
Qu Changguo first convened a meeting of the other three deputy editors-in-chief of the editor-in-chief's office to unify the opinions of the editor-in-chief's office. The opinions are nothing more than two points, the rear editors are not strict in checking, and they will be given the punishment of circulating criticism and adjusting their posts, the reporter in front of the interview is the first person responsible, and Zhang Zhiyao, as the reporter who leads the team, bears the main responsibility, and is given the punishment of dismissal, and Luo Fangyi is criticized in a circular. The executive deputy editor-in-chief of the editor-in-chief office and the deputy editor-in-chief on duty shall submit written inspection materials to the leading group of the newspaper.
The opinions of the editor-in-chief's office quickly formed written materials, and although everyone felt that the punishment was not the same as previously thought, it was a comprehensive solution. In fact, if this matter can be resolved satisfactorily and has little impact on their own interests, no one wants to be a good deed.
Soon, Qu Changguo presented this handling opinion to Xiahou Mingqi, who looked at it and did not express his position on the spot, but called Chen Jizhou after Qu Changguo left.
Chen Jizhou looked at it carefully, his brows furrowed.
"Lao Chen, what do you think of this handling opinion?"
"I remember that Zhang Zhiyao seemed to lead the team, but the manuscript was written by Luo Fangyi. The rear editor was Beijiang News Network, but he said that he saw that the manuscript was in the newspaper's manuscript library, and thought it had been issued, so he hung it up. So...... This plan is not unavoidable, and they all have responsibilities, and there is a set of valid reasons for which is more important and who comes first. Chen Jizhou's statement sounded vague, but the meaning was actually very obvious.
"That's what I thought, too. This plan seems reasonable, but it is bound to cause dissatisfaction among the parties. It can even cause unnecessary follow-up troubles. Xiahou Mingqi said, "Besides, although this report has aroused major public opinion, at least it is an objective report that conforms to the facts." On the other hand, it has also pushed the province to solve the man-made problems behind the floods in Yizhou. ”
Chen Jizhou did not interject, but nodded frequently on the side.
"So I think the dismissal punishment for Zhang Zhiyao seems to be heavier, and it is recommended that he be transferred. What do you think?"
"I agree with the president's plan. Chen Jizhou understood in his heart that the reason why Xiahou Mingqi did this was because the newspaper, as a news media, had no problem performing its duties. On the other hand, the province's attitude towards this matter has also changed, and it seems that the high-level is more confident and tolerant of public opinion supervision.
Xiahou Mingqi's revision was quickly fed back to Qu Changguo, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of Qu Changguo's mouth after reading it. Everything was in his own expectations, and the handling opinions submitted at that time were deliberately avoided and emphasized, the purpose was to leave room for the leaders to think and revise, it seems that Qu Changguo was right again this time.
Qu Changguo revised the plan as quickly as possible and handed it over to the newspaper office. The office then submitted it to the newspaper group, and by the time the group gave feedback on the final results to the Bac Giang Evening News, exactly two days had passed.
Seeing this punishment decision stamped with the official seal of the group, Qu Changguo breathed a sigh of relief. Things finally went their own way. All I have to do now is to contact Fat Dong and ask him to delete those damn photos!
The meeting between the two was proposed by Qu Changguo, and the location was naturally determined by him, and Qu Changguo chose a remote bridge along the river.
