There is an old Chinese saying: good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.

In the Beijiang Evening News, the rumors about the whistleblower letter contracted the entire newspaper from the first floor to the ninth floor of the staff to talk all day, even on the fifth floor of the editorial plane, those reporters who have worked together for many years talk about things to the north.

- "Have you read all the report letters on the Internet? I didn't expect Xiangbei to do this!"

- "This time, our newspaper is famous! It's all in the headlines and hot searches!"

- "I don't know what the leader thinks, let the rumors spread on the Internet like this?

For the character of a reporter, it is usually like this: well-informed, what earthquakes, floods, mining accidents, car accidents, murder scandals...... And so on, a lot of things are already strange. But in fact, reporters are also office workers, and every time there is gossip within the unit -- such as who is about to resign, who is quietly divorced, who has just been scolded by the leader, who is very close to whom, and so on -- through the "small broadcast" and "small speaker" among the reporters, it will soon spread throughout the newspaper, and then it will be processed and shared many times. As a result, other people's secrets became their topic of conversation, and also became their bargaining chips to increase their friendship with each other. In the workplace, "gossip" has become a commonplace phenomenon.

In fact, Yu Chongming saw the changes in the mood of reporters clearly. He often observes his subordinates through the thin shutters behind the glass windows of his office, understanding their every move and emotional state. If it was before, he would just turn a blind eye to his subordinates' private discussions, because this is just half a day's freshness. From the manager's point of view, Yu Chongming even thinks that this kind of "gossip" is just a way for employees to adjust their mentality.

This time, Yu Chongming felt the need to take care of it. After all, the object of this rumor is not a certain person, not only involving Xiang Bei, but also the reputation and image of the entire Beijiang Evening News. Woe comes from the mouth. If you can't control the mouths of your subordinates, if Zhao Qingdong blames him one day, Yu Chongming will be scolded again.

"Hey, how's Xiangbei doing now?"

In the big plane, the two girls chatted enthusiastically.

"I heard that I am still in the hospital, unconscious. ”

"There's a good show to watch now, hehe. ”

"What's the show? ”

"You don't understand this, stupid! This is the ......" The girl was so happy, even through a beige sweater, her plump breasts were driven by her laughter. She turned to answer the question, but saw a majestic belly, probably because of the fatness, which rose and fell rhythmically, and the snow-white shirt was loose and tight. The girl's gaze moved up along her stomach, and her exaggerated expression gradually condensed.

"Mr. Yu......"

"Ruan Yiyi, don't forget to call me if you have a good show. I love to watch dramas the most!" Yu Chongming suppressed his anger and said sneeringly.

"Mr. Yu, I was wrong......" The girl lowered her head.

"Everyone, listen, be quiet!" Yu Chongming stood in the center of the hall, clapping his palms as he spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

The hall fell silent for a moment......

"I emphasize the work discipline during work, the unit is the place of work, our working hours are from 9 o'clock in the morning to 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and in this time period in the future, in our hall, we can't talk about things other than business, do you understand? If you don't understand it, I'll be more straightforward: gossip and gossip are not allowed to be discussed during working hours!" Yu Chongming spoke slowly, and every word seemed to carry a serious emoji, which made people feel his displeasure.

"Got it......"

"Received ......"

"Understand ......"

Regarding Yu Chongming's words, the reporters' answers are very interesting: there is no scene of uniform response, everyone drags a long tone, seems to be something, dodges and dodges, and it seems that the "gossip" mentioned by Yu Chongming has nothing to do with himself. And the reason why he has to respond is only because he is the leader and he is a subordinate.

Seeing the reaction of the reporters, although Yu Chongming still maintained a serious expression when he spoke, he was a little embarrassed in his heart. He is well aware that although he is the executive deputy editor-in-chief, it does not mean that he has absolute authority over these journalists. Since the reporter is the core post of the newspaper, it has become the main position for some leaders to compete for wooing, and this kind of co-optation has even been formed in the process of recruitment, and in the subsequent work, there are factions divided according to universities and hometowns, and this division has been deeply rooted and intertwined, and it is difficult for him to shake it in Chongming. That's why some journalists are so unscrupulous.

"Ruan Yiyi, come to my office. ”

Ruan Yiyi had a ashamed expression, and followed behind Chongming, she was wearing a hip wrap skirt, even if she was tightly wrapped in winter clothes, she couldn't hide the curves of her figure at all.

"Who did you listen to all this news?" Yu Chongming asked with a serious face when he returned to the office.

"Mr. Yu, I'm talking nonsense, don't take it seriously. ”

"Don't take it seriously?

"That's true, I joked with my colleagues. ”

"Ruan Yiyi, it's just that you are usually lively, do you know what the situation is now, don't make trouble for me, okay?"

You old man, I will be willing to make trouble for you? Why don't you stay where you are cool! Ruan Yiyi didn't take this sour old man in her eyes in her bones, and stood there directly, still relying on him to vent her criticism.

Yu Chongming never knew how to deal with such a woman, so he simply sent her away. Watching Ruan Yiyi walk out of the office, he called Qu Changguo.

"Changguo, how's it going to the north?"

Qu Changguo replied: "Mr. Yu, the condition is under control, but he is still unconscious. ”

"Did the doctor say when you would wake up?" asked Yu Chongming.

"It's hard to say, but the doctor said it's not a big deal, normally speaking, you should be able to wake up in a day or two. ”

……

On the newspaper's side, the sudden outbreak of 25 whistleblower letters was like a major emergency within the newspaper. Zhao Qingdong couldn't have imagined that everyone had been chasing emergencies all day long, and now such a thing had fallen on his head.

Fortunately, I have accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of thing. Zhao Qingdong quickly divided the labor in the leadership of the newspaper to prevent the incident from continuing to ferment. Chen Jizhou was in charge of investigating the ins and outs of the 25 emails, and Yu Chongming kept an eye on the editorial platform to avoid words and deeds that shook the morale of the military.

All division of labor continued into the evening. At times like these, it's impossible to leave work on time. Yu Chongming was even ready for an all-night stay. Sure enough, at a quarter past six in the evening, Zhao Qingdong informed Yu Chongming and Chen Jizhou that an emergency meeting would be held at half past six.

"President, who do you need to attend the meeting? Yu Chongming looked at the time, there were only fifteen minutes left, and it was not easy to get people together.

"You, no one else notified. Every time Zhao Qingdong replied, he always cherished words like gold. This may be a common problem of leadership.

Yu Chongming stared at the clock on the wall, and the minute hand moved to the "6" position little by little. The newspaper has specially prepared a president's conference room for Zhao Qingdong, which is next to the president's office. Normally, this room is locked, and ordinary people are rarely allowed to enter. For so many years, Yu Chongming also walked into this conference room for the first time.

At first glance, this house is no different, a small round table, a few chairs, a video conferencing system, a projector. Niang Xipi, on weekdays, mysterious and hanging, I thought how tall I was. Yu Chongming looked around the room, feeling a sense of loss in his heart.

"Now that we're all here, let's have a meeting. Zhao Qingdong sat north and faced south, with his back to the video conferencing system.

Yu Chongming muttered, isn't this the same as in the morning, me and Chen Jizhou. Three people? What kind of fuss are you going to make?!

"Everybody turn off your phones. Zhao Qingdong took the lead in setting an example, took the initiative to turn off the phone, and put it on the side of the table. As soon as the two of them looked, the president had done it, and what else was there to say, shut it down. You must know that reporters have requirements: keep the phone on 24 hours a day, and you can contact you at any time if you have anything. This time I actually broke this rule. What is it about the meeting that is so mysterious?

"I know what you're thinking. Before the meeting, I would like to emphasize that today's meeting is not recorded, there are no documents, and all information cannot be passed through this door. Do you understand?" Zhao Qingdong looked serious.

Yu Chongming didn't dare to gasp for breath, didn't make records, didn't print documents...... Damn, I haven't participated in such a secret meeting for so many years! Chen Jizhou is not easy, he is sitting upright with a solemn expression.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Zhao Qingdong opened the three-person meeting: "I came back from the group and learned some inside information. First, the whistleblower letter incident has gotten out of control. It has spread not only in Bac Giang province, but also throughout the country. As of 4 o'clock this afternoon, there have been as many as three or four thousand pieces of information on Weibo, posts and Moments, with tens of millions of reprints, clicks and comments. It is simply impossible to control it. Second, this time the group is definitely going to deal with people, as for how to deal with it and who to deal with, it is not yet known. However, one thing is certain, the group has reported the case, and the public security organs have opened a case for investigation. Third, the leaders of the group asked us to immediately form a document on this matter, one is to report to the group, and the other is to respond to social concerns. Now, let's talk about the newspaper. Lao Chen, you say it first. ”

"President, I have set up a temporary investigation team for the incident of the whistleblower letter, and I have divided the work for everyone, one group of people investigates the source of the whistleblower letter, and the other group verifies the content of the whistleblower letter. Now they are still working overtime, and they should be able to produce a document tomorrow morning. Chen Jizhou replied.

"Yu Chongming, how are you there?"

Yu Chongming paused, swallowed his saliva, and said, "I have already informed the personnel of the editorial platform that they are not allowed to discuss this matter. Oh yes, I did it verbally. In addition, the situation is stable on the northward side. He was still unconscious, and he couldn't cause anything for the time being. ”

"Yu Chongming, I don't know what you think about this. Do you two realize the seriousness of the problem, from the newspaper's point of view, this incident has an extremely bad impact on the newspaper's image. Personally, it's hard for everyone in this room, including me, to sit down under the buttocks. So, what to do?"

"President, hasn't the group already called the police? I don't think this matter has been investigated yet, maybe someone is maliciously slandering. Yu Chongming comforted.

"Whether this is true or not, the reputation of the newspaper has been damaged. Zhao Qingdong looked at Yu Chongming and Chen Jizhou, "How to save the reputation of the society, what are your opinions?"

Naturally, the two had nothing to say, and responded to silence.

"Now there is only one way," Zhao Qingdong looked at Yu Chongming again, "After Xiangbei wakes up, you will go to the hospital in person, and you will know the benefits and disadvantages to him, hoping that he will focus on the overall situation and take the initiative to take on all the problems in order to maintain the reputation of the newspaper." ”

"I'll talk to him about it, but I'm worried that with Xiang Bei's character, he won't accept this solution. Besides, this is not a trivial matter. Yu Chongming said.

"Don't accept it? Can he not accept it if he wants to? The initiative lies here in the newspaper office, and all the problems are caused by him to the north, and the newspaper office is completely unaware of it!" Zhao Qingdong eased his tone again, "Of course, the main thing is to persuade and educate to 'cure the sick and save people.'" ”

At the meeting of the three, Chen Jizhou was silent, he felt that it seemed inappropriate to do this, but since Zhao Qingdong had already made up his mind, he couldn't say anything. What he can do is, on the one hand, starting from his own work and seriously investigating clearly, and secondly, he can only pray in his heart that this turmoil can pass as soon as possible and everyone can be safe.
