Li Shuguang's face in the audience became a little ugly.

But then, Guo Yang's votes surprised everyone.

The number of votes given by the representatives of reporters and editors was 45, which should not be said to be low. As a newcomer to Chiguoguo, it is extremely difficult for Guo Yang to get such a high degree of recognition from his colleagues.

However, the nine judges gave only 4 votes.

In fact, the number of votes does not mean anything, but the number of votes in the review reflects a certain leadership trend: it seems to mean that the top management does not want to see Guo Yang elected.

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

Guo Yang's expression remained unchanged, he originally had a dispensable attitude towards the competition for this chief reporter, it was good to be elected, but it didn't matter if he couldn't be elected.

Lin Meimei was a little angry: "How can you make this happen? Is there a problem with the leader's eyes?"

Lin Meimei's voice was a little loud.

Glasses Zhang was startled, quickly glared at Lin Meimei, lowered his voice and reprimanded: "Xiaolin, don't look for trouble!

Lin Meimei pouted: "Lao Zhang, what are you afraid of? Obviously, Guo Yang's competition speech is not leaky, why are you giving so many votes? Isn't this deliberately bullying people?!"

Glasses Zhang smiled bitterly and said softly: "Xiaolin, are you stupid? Whether the leader gives a vote or not is not based on the quality of the speech, this is a high-level evaluation, don't you understand?!"

Lin Meimei pouted and wanted to say a few more words, Guo Yang patted her shoulder and smiled lightly: "Come on, don't say it, I was originally a poor candidate, have you forgotten?!"

Li Shuguang's face became excited.

He suddenly realized that he had misunderstood, and those statements that Zhao Guoqing favored Guo Yang and wanted to push Guo Yang to the chief reporter seat - absolutely nonsense, and the fact that the number of votes in the leadership was so low in itself says a lot!

On the rostrum, Zhao Guoqing's expression was slightly complicated and strange.

In fact, Zhao Guoqing voted for Guo Yang.

The crux of the matter is that other senior leaders misunderstood Zhao Guoqing's attitude, and many abstained from voting, which led to Guo Yang's review not getting more than half of the votes.

Tian Huize, director of the editorial office, took several staff members of the editorial office to count the votes on the spot, and after a short time, Tian Huize reported the results to the rostrum.

Zhao Guoqing glanced at it and saw that Guo Yang still managed to squeeze into the list of five people in the second round, but he received the lowest number of votes.

Zhao Guoqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He coughed dryly twice and cleared his throat, turned his head and smiled at Zhang Yuqiang: "Lao Zhang, the result is also what we expected, it seems that everyone's opinions are basically the same." ”

Zhang Yuqiang also smiled: "This is the best, break the shackles of seniority, and create a benign employment mechanism for those who are capable and mediocre, we have made a good attempt in this competition!"

The other judges did not change their faces, but they all took a sip of water from their teacups.

The second round of competition will begin immediately. However, the competition speech took a different form, with five candidates coming up to the stage one by one to give speeches, and then voting was held in unison.

A 100-point system is adopted, with 60% of the total score and 40% of the total score of the public review.

In this round, two people will be eliminated, and the competition is white-hot.

Because of the lowest number of votes in the last round, Guo Yang was the first to take the stage to make a personal speech. He didn't say anything sensational, but only expressed two meanings, nothing more than thanking the leaders for giving him the opportunity to participate, and also thanking the seniors and teachers for their recognition and long-term guidance and support in his work.

Compared to others, his testimonials are the most concise. Unlike Li Shuguang, who was so excited on stage that he almost cried, he vowed that once he was elected chief reporter, he would work hard to repay the newspaper's training.

The five-person testimonials ended quickly, and after voting, the results came out quickly. Even Tian Huize was surprised, Guo Yang unexpectedly continued to win, scoring second only to Zhou Zheng, and in this round, 9 judges voted in favor. And Li Shuguang followed Guo Yang and also entered the final selection and elimination link.

Guo Yang was also slightly stunned, he was ready to give up, but the result was ...... His deep gaze was projected towards the rostrum, and the corners of his mouth rose with a hint of surprise.

Zhou Zheng, Guo Yang and Li Shuguang.

The three eliminated one person and was the first batch of chief reporters.

Zhou Zheng was already sure, and his face was calm. Guo Yang has an indifferent attitude, and he is also at ease. Only Li Shuguang was very nervous, and his heart became uneasy.

He knew that the competition actually existed between him and Guo Yang, and Zhou Zheng had already won the battle.

He originally thought that the attitude of the top management was set, and Guo Yang would be eliminated in the second round. As a result, he was dumbfounded, Guo Yang actually got through the danger again. This creates uncertainty in the eventual competition.

Li Shuguang's eyes were gloomy, passing over Guo Yang's body, and then projected onto Zhao Guoqing and other high-level officials, flickering.

Lin Meimei smiled and approached her glasses: "Lao Zhang, do you say Guo Yang has a play?"

Glasses Zhang took a deep breath: "There is a chance, but I personally feel that Li Shuguang has a better chance of winning." ”

Lin Meimei pouted: "Why?"

The glasses smiled but did not speak.

Tian Huize, the director of the editorial office, hurriedly walked outside the door of the conference center and walked in, and whispered a few words in Zhao Guoqing's ear. Zhao Guoqing frowned, and immediately pulled Zhang Yuqiang out together.

Not long after, Zhao Guoqing and Zhang Yuqiang walked in with Li Guoqiang, deputy director of the Propaganda Department and director of the Civilization Office, and Xu Xiaoyan, chief of the News Section. Everyone present was taken aback, including several high-level officials on the rostrum, who all stood up to greet them with strange expressions.

The sudden appearance of the leader of the Propaganda Department at the scene of the open competition for the chief reporter of the Northern Morning Post meant a lot to many. Li Shuguang could hardly believe his vision, he was immediately ecstatic, and the worry and gloom in his heart were swept away.

Zhao Guoqing naturally wanted to give Li Guoqiang and Xu Xiaoyan to the rostrum, but Li Guoqiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Lao Zhao, you continue, Section Chief Xu and I came over today, and we will not participate in or interfere with your competition - we are mainly for inspection and study, Minister Wei has instructed the ministry to summarize the typical experience of your morning newspaper in promoting the competition for chief reporters, and the next step is to promote it in the city's propaganda system." ”

Li Guoqing and Xu Xiaoyan sat casually in the audience.

A trace of annoyance flashed in Zhao Guoqing's eyes. Li Guoqiang chose to come uninvited at this time, what does it mean, a fool can see that this is unscrupulous forcing the palace!!

Zhao Guoqing originally thought that he had reached a tacit understanding and consensus with Li Guoqiang, but who expected it to backfire. Zhao Guoqing sneered in his heart, returned to his position as a reviewer without changing his face, and said loudly: "First of all, welcome Minister Li and Section Chief Xu to our competition site for guidance, okay, let's continue!"

Li Shuguang looked at his uncle Li Guoqiang, who was sitting not far from the front row, and smiled, almost not laughing.

He felt that this time there was no more suspense.

After all, his uncle is the deputy minister in charge of the Propaganda Department, and he is sitting in the audience, and whether Zhao Guoqing is willing or unwilling on the stage, these judges cannot but give Li Guoqiang some face.

Glasses Zhang sighed lightly, glanced back at Guo Yang, and said nothing.

……

The final round of competition was held under the noses of Li Guoqiang and Xu Xiaoyan.

This round of two out of three competition gatekeepers is completely in the 9 judges. The way of investigation has also changed from competition to question and answer.

The three of them took the stage to accept questions from the 9 judges, and then the 9 judges will choose whether to turn on or not to turn on the lights according to the Q&A situation and combined with their own opinions. If the light is on, it will be passed, and if the light is not on, it will be rejected.

The first to come to power was Li Shuguang, who was full of ambition.
