Nine a.m.

The red sun hangs high.

The weather was still so hot, so hot that it was upsetting.

Officials well-dressed officials from the relevant departments directly under the municipal government and the Propaganda Department accompanied the activities stood in groups in the compound of the municipal party committee and waited for the bus, while more than a dozen reporters carrying long guns and short guns arrived early in the morning to cover the bus.

A group of reporters in the car greeted each other, and glasses were no exception. In the eyes of everyone, Guo Yang is a very unfamiliar face, but in Guo Yang's heart, none of these people he is not familiar with.

For example, Li, the elder of the daily newspaper, later became the deputy editor-in-chief of the daily newspaper. For example, Yuan Tao of the news department of the TV station later became the secretary of the party committee and director of the Municipal Bureau of Radio, Film and Television. There is also a female reporter of the radio station, Peng Caiying, who was transferred to the provincial station three years later, and became the deputy director of the provincial radio station for another three years. But Guo Yang, who was in this situation here and now, could only pretend that he didn't know anyone, and silently found a seat in the back row.

There is another person who really can't fail to mention, Sun Xinqing, the deputy chief reporter of the evening newspaper. This man is now in his early thirties, a well-known but arrogant man in the industry, and ten years later he unexpectedly sat in the position of editor-in-chief of the evening newspaper. There was an uproar in the industry, but before the gossip people had time to decipher the inside story, the industry reform led by Guo Yang to promote the merger of the three major local metropolitan print media to form a newspaper group kicked off.

This means that Sun Xinqing unexpectedly became the editor-in-chief of the evening newspaper, and inexplicably stepped down automatically. To everyone's surprise, Sun Xinqing failed to compete with Guo Yang for the position of chairman of the group and served as Guo Yang's deputy, but he was transferred from the top because he had been working with Guo Yang.

The media in the eighties and nineties was a very seniority trade. Competence is important, but seniority is even more important. If you don't have the business ability, you can always mix it up if you have the qualifications. And for the current Guo Yang, a pure newcomer, no matter how strong his ability is, he can only slowly accumulate qualifications. Most new reporters who have just been in the industry are humble and low-key in the face of their seniors, even if it is pretending, you have to pretend to be decent.

Therefore, when the glasses were greeting everyone, many people were looking at Guo Yang, a young new face, with the lofty gaze of their predecessors. However, through the enthusiastic introduction of glasses, Guo Yang's name still attracted everyone's attention, because the commentator's article on the front page of the three major local media today was signed by Guo Yang.

The three newspapers jointly issued a press release, which is rare in the history of newspapers in the city, and even fewer are signed, so Guo Yang became popular in the city's media field. But for such a young man who has risen to prominence in this way, a carload of journalists behaves differently.

Elder Li Haha smiled and took the initiative to come over to shake hands with Guo Yang, and casually said two words of encouragement and appreciation. Yuan Tao was indifferent and continued to sit there fiddling with his bulky camera, Peng Caiying turned her head reservedly and threw an indifferent smile at Guo Yang, and a few others just glanced at Guo Yang slightly, and then turned back to talk and laugh to themselves.

Guo Yang calmly dealt with it, he didn't expect that he would get overwhelming flowers and applause for a manuscript, and be recognized by his peers, which was unrealistic. But if the reaction of the elder Li is quite normal, Sun Xinqing's performance is obviously a little excessive.

Sun Xinqing sat in the first row and pursed his lips, and said coldly: "I didn't learn well when I first joined the company at a young age, do you still think you are proud of writing this kind of bells and whistles touting articles?"

As soon as Sun Xinqing's words fell, a few people in the front row who were talking and laughing suddenly fell silent. Sun is a well-known thorn, although he is talented, he is jealous, and he can't see that young people are more talented than him, especially his commentator's article was finalized yesterday but was temporarily replaced by Guo Yang's manuscript, and he has long held back a nameless evil fire in his heart. Seeing Guo Yang himself, with his personality, it is difficult to hold back and not rebound.

As soon as Sun Xinqing opened his mouth, almost everyone subconsciously looked back at Guo Yang in the last row.

Glasses Zhang was very unhappy, frowned, and said: "Director Sun, what do you mean by this? What is a fancy article touting with bells and whistles? If the quality of the manuscript is not high, can it still be published?"

Sun Xinqing sneered: "It's great to send a press release? Zhang Kun, don't pretend to be confused for me! I'm just advising young people, it's better to be down-to-earth and have a hard-working spirit, and to avoid crooked ways, opportunistic shortcuts can only succeed for a while, but not for long!"

Sun Xinqing stood up, looked at Guo Yang aggressively, and said loudly: "Young man, do you say that's the case?"

Guo Yang took a deep breath. He didn't want to be familiar with Sun Xinqing, and he didn't want to have any conflict with him on this occasion. If he just shouted two words, but unexpectedly, he had to inch in and provoke in public.

After being reborn, Guo Yang's current mentality is probably - I have a tiger in my heart, sniffing roses. In the face of the flood beasts, he will never be soft-hearted and always have a heart like iron, and if he is in a beautiful garden, he will not lack the delicate tenderness and poetic painting that he should have.

He got up slowly, his expression so calm that he was actually too old.

Glasses Zhang secretly said in his heart that something was not good, since yesterday afternoon, Glasses Zhang has noticed a huge change in Guo Yang, this honest child who has been recognized by everyone as taciturn in the past year, seems to have changed all of a sudden, not only has he become strong and decisive, but he also has a hidden power between his words and deeds.

Guo Yang smiled slightly, and his voice was not high, but it clearly reached the ears of a carload of reporters: "Director Sun, what opportunistic and crooked ways have I taken? I just completed my work task and happened to send a press release." Like you said, it's nothing big, I'm not complacent, and it's impossible for me to be complacent. If I'm not mistaken, Director Sun is the best at this kind of bells and whistles to tout articles, right? I don't believe that if you look through your newspapers in the past two years, which one of these articles was not written by Director Sun himself? In this regard, I am a junior and backward, and compared with Director Sun, the gap is not ordinarily large. ”

The crowd let out a soft laugh.

Guo Yang's words hit the nail on the head, and there was a hint of sarcasm in the understatement question, but it was an undeniable fact. Sun Xinqing was unusually promoted to deputy director of the News Theory Department because he was good at pandering to words, and his peers all knew this. Of course, this is also normal. It's just that if you only allow the governor to set fires and don't allow the people to light lamps, it becomes a problem - if you write it is high, others will occasionally become sycophants, and this mentality itself is a kind of snake spirit disease with red eyes and thick neck.

Sun Xinqing was choked with red faces. The corners of his mouth trembled, and he raised his hand to point at Guo Yang and became angry: "Bastard, is this how you talk to your seniors and teachers?

"I respect all the seniors and teachers who deserve respect, but I am never polite to those who do not know self-respect and are jealous of their abilities. As a teacher, you must have the mind and demeanor of the teacher, if you don't even have the basic amount of tolerance, I don't think you should lick your face and call yourself the teacher. ”

A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Guo Yang's mouth, but his tone suddenly rose up: "More importantly, carry forward the spirit of flood fighting, which is the guidance of public opinion from top to bottom, how did it become a hymn and a hymn in Director Sun's mouth? What do you mean? In addition, my manuscript was personally instructed by Secretary Jiang of the Municipal Party Committee to be sent out - you jumped out and sneered, is this going against the Municipal Party Committee?!"

Guo Yang's words were generous and powerful, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he walked towards Sun Xinqing step by step.

Sun Xinqing's face changed suddenly. Although Guo Yang's words were suspected of deliberately going online, he didn't dare to take such a big hat at all. If the news spreads, not to mention that it reaches Secretary Jiang of the municipal party committee and the leaders of the Propaganda Department, it is to let the leaders of the newspaper know that he will not be able to eat and walk around.

As soon as Sun Xinqing thought of this, cold sweat flowed from his forehead, and he sat down in a panic. He wanted to suppress Guo Yang's limelight and vent a little personal anger in his heart, but who knew that this kid's mouth was like a knife, and every word was punishable, and he hit back with a cold arrow, and he didn't even have room to resist.

"May I ask Director Sun, should we get out of the car and reason, or find Secretary Jiang to evaluate the reasoning in person?" Guo Yang walked over and walked towards the car door. At this time, Secretary Jiang, who was tall and majestic, had already walked out of the office building with many people and was about to get in the car and set off.

Sun Xinqing was accused by Guo Yang in front of him and was embarrassed to death, because of shame and anger, his shoulders trembled involuntarily because of panic, but he sat there and didn't dare to move.

Glasses Zhang coughed twice and cleared his throat: "Xiao Guo!"

Guo Yang smiled at his glasses, his indifferent eyes swept over Sun Xinqing's body, and then he strode back to his original position.

The minibus started slowly, and the atmosphere on the bus was dull and depressing, and only Sun Xinqing's rapid breathing could be heard. The interested driver seemed to be trying to ease the atmosphere, so he pressed the button of the car stereo, and a popular female singer's hoarse and slightly hysterical singing voice suddenly sounded-

"Wildflowers bloom for whom and for whom they lose, quietly waiting for someone to pick ......"
