Chapter 20: The Return of the Hero
Xu Changlin's case came to light. Xiangbei combined the previous materials, spent an afternoon and half a night, sorted out a draft, and sent it back to the newspaper.
This is by far the most satisfying manuscript for Xiangbei's report on Luohe Village. It not only deals with the cause of the arson case, but also reflects the land acquisition problem behind it.
However, he could not predict whether the draft would be sent out or not, and what impact it would have.
As soon as the manuscript reached the newspaper, Qu Changguo's phone called.
"Daxiang, I've seen the manuscript, I'm waiting for you these days! This is how a reporter writes a manuscript, when the whip falls, and whether it can hit the right place, it is an art. That's when an old journalist like you can show his importance. Qu Changguo couldn't hide the joy in his heart.
"The interview is difficult, and the leader has been waiting for a long time, hehe. "It's as polite as ever to the north," uh...... I don't know if the manuscript can be sent out, after all, some information is quite sensitive. ”
"Don't worry, I'll do the rest of the work. If there is a disagreement from the newspaper or the above, I will bear any pressure. By the way, when will you come back, we will wait to drink your celebration wine. ”
"I have already reported to Mr. Yu and plan to go back tomorrow. But ......"
"But what?"
"I feel that there are still some doubts about this matter, and some questions could have been answered from Xu Changlin, but unfortunately, he was not interviewed. Xiang Bei felt a little regretful, and more of a feeling that the report was not over yet.
Qu Changguo was silent for a while, and said: "That's it, brother, you come back first, as for the follow-up report, it's not too late to think about it when you come back." Frankly speaking, the pace of the latter can be slowed down appropriately, and on the other hand, it is also necessary to see what kind of unified arrangement the newspaper has, after all, there are still many topics waiting for you. ”
"Alright then......"
Early the next morning, head north to tidy up your room and pack your luggage. I didn't expect that in the past few days here, things have piled up more and more, and a small suitcase can't fit at all.
"Hello, I'm a guest of 1013, I'm going to check out in a while, can some things be stored here first, maybe I'll wait for the next time I come to pick it up in a few days. "Head north to call the front desk.
The person who answered the phone was a male waiter, and he was still a little childish when he heard the voice.
"Yes, sir. You can just come to the front desk and check in in a moment. ”
After lunch, the two came to the front desk, checked out, checked out, checked out, and filled out the item information card.
Looking north at the bill, not only did I break out in a cold sweat, but I spent four or five thousand in more than ten days. That's a lot of money. Fortunately, these expenses can be reimbursed.
Head north and hand the filled out item information card to the waiter. The two left the hotel.
On the way back, drive north, silent all the way.
"What's the matter, Master? Luo Fangyi was the first to break the silence.
"It's still a matter of this report. ”
"Isn't it all very complete? The masterpiece is done, and you can be a god in no time. The leader also asked you to go back, you should be happy. ”
Luo Fangyi spoke as open-mouthed as ever.
"But I always feel like there are still some details that I haven't figured out. Xiang Bei's mind was still immersed in the incident in Luohe Village.
"Uh...... Alright then, Master. We can go back and report to the leader, and strive to come back to do an in-depth investigation. ”
"Well, that's all there is to it. ”
"Master, it's amazing!" Not long after the car was quiet, Luo Fangyi broke the silence again.
"What's the matter, you girl, you're shocked!"
"Look!"
"I think, you want our car to be destroyed? My car is not AI intelligent and unmanned. "To the north pretended to be displeased. The master and apprentice, after this partnership, already have a general understanding of each other's temperament and temperament, and know what jokes can be made and what jokes cannot be made.
"Okay, okay, I'll report it out loud, and you'll listen to it. ”
"You're trying to make me vomit blood, Xiao Luo, and you're listening?"
"Master, your manuscript has made headlines, I have probably taken a look, the homepages of several major portals, Weibo hot searches, and headlines have been displayed or pushed, some are headlines, and some are homepages. Luo Fangyi's expression was surprised, "There are also comments and posts, which have been increasing, and on the official Weibo of Beijiang Evening News, the number of retweets of this news has exceeded 40,000." Master, it seems that you are really going to become a god this time!"
Luo Fangyi was excited. To the north, it is still calm. He looked in the rearview mirror, confirmed the safety of the rear, turned on the right turn light, and the car went onto the auxiliary road of a remote section, and turned on the double flash.
"Bring it, show it to me. ”
Luo Fangyi's words are not an exaggeration, this draft has become popular news on major websites and clients. Some websites have changed the title or made abridgements when reprinting, but the core content has been retained.
It's an amazing experience to find a manuscript that has become a national hit, and it's completely different from when you win a million-dollar jackpot, and it won't bring you any material improvement. However, the pleasure it brings to people at the spiritual level is indescribable, just like a star who became popular overnight and an Internet writer who became a god.
Many people will pay attention to you and talk about you because of your work, which is a kind of pleasure of being focused.
Even if he is already a veteran reporter who has gone through ups and downs, Xiangbei saw the reaction on the Internet, and the joy in his heart was also difficult to hide.
"The military merit medal has half of yours on it, you see, and it also has your signature, Xiao Luo. Xiang Bei said.
"Hehe, I'm making soy sauce, and it's all up to Master to help you get it. ”
……
In the early 90s of last century, a nine-story building rose in the core area of Hedong City, which is the site of Beijiang Evening News. In that era when bungalows and tube buildings were the mainstay, this building can be regarded as a landmark building in Hedong City. However, with the rise of skyscrapers one after another, the Beijiang Evening News became more and more dilapidated and "unsocial".
Even so, the location advantage of Bac Giang Evening News and its influence still bring an attraction that should not be underestimated. Large business districts, high-end communities, and core units have been located here, forming a huge complex.
Last year, President Zhao Qingdong redecorated the exterior wall of the newspaper office, and asked people to inlay five gilded characters on the nine-storey building - Beijiang Evening News.
The Beijiang Evening News has made a long-term free advertisement for itself in the core area.
Generally speaking, the daily newspaper named after the province or city has its special status and natural advantages, the evening newspaper is usually sponsored by the daily newspaper of the province or city, and generally a city is not allowed to run two evening newspapers, so the birth of the metropolitan newspaper, the morning newspaper, the times, etc., although they are classified differently, but in fact, the content is almost the same, and a competitive relationship is formed.
In this era of information explosion, it is not new for the media to grab news among themselves, and the same is true between the Bac Giang Evening News and other newspapers, which are both brothers and competitors of each other, and it is difficult to explain the relationship clearly.
When I returned to the newspaper office, it was time to get off work. At the usual pace, most of the employees in the building should have gone to dinner or gone home from work. Journalists, a job that does not require clock-in, disappears faster - this is probably one of the few "benefits" for journalists in the era of declining traditional media.
The office to the north is on the fifth floor of the building, and it is said to be an office, but it is actually a large plane of two or three hundred square meters, which has one hundred and ten workstations, including reporters from various interview groups such as text and photography.
The offices of deputy editors-in-chief Yu Chongming, Chen Lu, and Qu Changguo are on the edge of this floor, all of which are independent rooms.
Reporters and editors from new media platforms such as Beijiang News Network and Liangwei Yiduan are on the third floor of the building. In addition, there are marketing, administrative, logistics and other personnel distributed on other floors, adding up to four or five hundred people.
Xiang Bei and Luo Fangyi came to the large plane on the fifth floor, and it was really empty, and there were no people.
"Who's on duty today? I won't even turn on the lights. The hall was dark, and he turned on a row of overhead lights to the north, "I'm tired today, let's go home first." ”
"Okay, Master will go back early. ”
The two of them cleaned up and got up to leave.
Suddenly, dozens of people poured out of nowhere, everyone applauded and cheered, and walked towards them.
The two of them were obviously taken aback by the momentum, but it was only a matter of seconds, and it quickly became clear to them that it was an elaborate celebration.
Everyone gathered around them like warriors who greeted the triumphant.
Yu Chongming, Chen Lu, and Qu Changguo seemed to have their own BGM and came from afar. The crowd hurriedly made way for a passage.
"Welcome back, Xiangbei, you've worked hard these days!" Yu Chongming was the first to speak.
"yes, yes, it's not easy. Chen Lu added.
"Today's welcome ceremony was carefully arranged by Mr. Yu. He knows that you will be returning this morning, and he specially told everyone to wait here to celebrate your achievement. Speaking of this, Qu Changguo turned to look at everyone, "Of course, the success of this report is the result of everyone's joint efforts, and in fact, it is also a celebration for ourselves." As for how to celebrate, the right of interpretation belongs to the editor-in-chief's office, and to the general, haha. ”
Everyone understood what Qu Changguo meant, and they coaxed together.
"I know that you kid can't spit ivory out of his mouth!" Yu Chongming said to Qu Changguo with a smile. The difference between the two is ten years old, Yu Chongming still treats Qu Changguo as a junior, "This report is very successful, everyone has seen the response on the Internet, the newspaper and the group are very satisfied, and they have put forward praise, I estimate that there will be a group announcement tomorrow." I hope you will continue to work hard to make more and better reports!"
In the last few words, Yu Chongming elongated his tone, as if to say: There should be applause here.
As soon as the words fell, everyone applauded decisively.
"Mr. Yu, our celebration can't be so simple, why should there be a celebration banquet or something?" Qu Changguo made up again.
"Uh......" Yu Chongming hesitated, thinking, this kid really spared no effort to sell me, "Now the newspaper is very strict about eating, drinking, feasting, etc., there are so many of us, so don't make such a big move, but a small-scale dinner celebration can be dropped." ”
"Mr. Yu rest assured, there is still a bonus in the editor-in-chief's office that has not been spent, just use that money, this is not public funds for private use, haha!" Qu Changguo said.
"You kid...... Slippery ......"
The crowd laughed. Xiangbei also laughed, but he was thinking in his heart, he wanted to go home early to accompany his daughter-in-law and son, and by the way, he handed over the "public grain", but it seemed that he was going to be in the soup again.
