At the end of the year, Anxi TV held an annual work summary and commendation meeting. Luo Xinjian, director of the Radio and Television Bureau, and director of the Political Department were also invited to attend the meeting.

At the meeting, Director Yu Siwei first made a work summary report, stating the achievements of the television station this year, analyzing the existing shortcomings and problems, and putting forward ideas for future work. Wu Shifei, deputy director of the station, read out the list of winners of this year's advanced collectives, advanced individuals, and news works, gave cash rewards, and called on all employees in Taiwan to learn from the winners and make new achievements.

Liu Hong, as an advanced individual of the business department and 9 other commended employees, wore ribbons and red flowers on their chests, and happily ascended the rostrum to receive honorary certificates from the leaders of the bureau and Taiwan.

Yu Siwei happily shook hands with Liu Hong and congratulated her on being elected as an advanced individual.

Liu Hong smiled and said, "Thank you Yutai! It is the result of your strict requirements and careful cultivation for me." ”

Liu Hong stepped down from the rostrum, sat down in her seat, and watched the editors and reporters who won awards for their news works come to the stage to receive the awards in turn.

Liu Hong observed that Cao Jianhua, director of the news department, frequently came to the stage to accept awards, and almost all of the news he produced won the first prize at the national and provincial levels.

When Liu Hong first entered the TV station, he heard that Cao Jianhua was very talented, not only writing news articles well, but also writing good words and passionate prose and poetry. Liu Hong has always avoided intellectuals because she hated Li Xizhi, an intellectual who named herself, since she was a child. Although she and Cao Jianhua have some overlap in work and business, they only provide manuscripts and read from the script, and there is no deep personal relationship.

At that time, the urban television industry had just started, and in addition to the annual evaluation of news works, the awards in the fields of social education, literature and art, and technology were all blank, that is to say, only news manuscripts could be evaluated and rewarded by professional associations.

Liu Hong is a person who is unwilling to lose to others in all aspects. She hopes to gain the reputation of the audience and at the same time be affirmed by experts through news works. She plans to quickly establish a friendship with Cao Jianhua, co-create press releases with Cao Jianhua, borrow a boat to go to sea, borrow chickens and lay eggs, and strive to win a journalism award next year.

As soon as Yu Siwei's words on the rostrum announcing the end of the meeting fell, Liu Hong walked straight to Cao Jianhua and said enthusiastically: "Director Cao, congratulations!

Cao Jianhua saw that the famous news anchor Liu Hong took the initiative to congratulate him, and quickly said modestly: "Hey, it's all everyone's credit." And you announcers have a part of it. ”

Liu Hong smiled sweetly and said, "Director Cao, you are too modest. In this way, in order to celebrate your grand prize, I will treat you to Xinjiang Dapan Chicken at noon. You can't refuse!"

Cao Jianhua suddenly heard that Liu Hong, who usually had no contact, invited him to dinner, he was stunned for a moment, and then felt flattered, and hurriedly said: "Where do I dare to let you, a famous anchor, have a treat? I'll invite you—okay, okay, that's it." You are not allowed to be polite to me. ”

At noon, Liu Hong and Cao Jianhua met at a Xinjiang Dapan chicken shop near the TV station. Liu Hong did what he liked, ordered a small bottle of liquor, and served Cao Jianhua vegetables from time to time, for fear that Cao Jianhua would feel restrained and couldn't let go.

After a glass of wine, Cao Jianhua became excited and opened the conversation box to talk non-stop.

While eating delicious spicy chicken, they enthusiastically exchanged ideas for business creation.

Liu Hong's expression was full of emotion, and she repeatedly showed her sincerity with a woman's gentle words, which quickly touched Cao Jianhua's amorous heart.

Although Cao Jianhua went to the Workers' Peasants' and Soldiers' University when the intellectual youth went to the countryside, he was gifted and intelligent, diligent and studious, and laid a very solid cultural foundation.

He also has two well-known weaknesses, one is that he likes to drink a little wine, and he will get drunk every time he drinks. The second is to be afraid of his wife. His wife works for the Anzay Evening News and is also a veteran journalist. The couple helped each other in their careers, flew together, cooperated in the production of many major news, won many awards, and became a model couple in the journalism of Anxi City.

This meal was productive. Since then, Liu Hong and Cao Jianhua have begun a strong alliance.

Cao Jianhua is responsible for finding clues about major news and interviewing and writing articles for in-depth reform frontlines, while Liu Hong is responsible for editing TV pictures and broadcast commentary. They produce, edit, and broadcast one news report after another that is highly affirmed by the Propaganda Department and has a strong response from the broad masses of the audience. More than a dozen series of reports, such as "The Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Cares About the Vegetable Basket Project", "Reform is Around Us", and "The Times Makes the Tide", have won the national and provincial TV news awards.

In his spare time, Cao Jianhua wrote three business papers, which were read and commented on by Liu Hong, and published in national and provincial professional journals respectively.

This year, the results of their joint efforts can be described as fruitful and brilliant, and no one in Anxi TV is comparable and dominates.

The close cooperation between Liu Hong and Cao Jianhua attracted gossip and also aroused jealousy and suspicion of Cao Jianhua's wife. She returned home and asked Cao Jianhua if he was interested in Liu Hong and had two hearts for herself.

After Liu Hong heard the bitter water that Cao Jianhua poured for herself in private, she pursed her lips and smiled, and gave him an idea: "Director Cao, you spend some money to buy a beautiful gold necklace for your sister-in-law, and ensure that she will not find fault with you again." We'd better coax women. ”

Cao Jianhua followed Liu Hong's advice and bought his wife a gold necklace, which was regarded as temporarily sealing his wife's mouth.

Cao Jianhua is Liu Hong's first man who has a relatively close relationship outside of her husband. His diligence, his talent, and his success have become a powerful auxiliary and additional reward for Liu Hong's career pursuit. This intimate relationship makes their cooperation more tacit and fun, and of course it adds some confusion. In this regard, Liu Hong handled it indifferently and didn't care at all.

In the cooperation with Liu Hong, Cao Jianhua felt her unique personality and strong competitiveness, and felt her strong pursuit and desire for work and personal future. Of course, he knows that Liu Hong is very well-known in Anxi City, and now he also knows the secret of why Liu Hong can win success.

They also had disagreements and disputes in their creations. Every time there is a dispute, no matter who is right or wrong, in the end, Cao Jianhua constantly retreats and apologizes, which seems very passive. He sometimes secretly smiled bitterly to himself: she is not an ordinary person. We'd better let our partnership end without a hitch.

However, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop.

At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, Liu Hong proposed to Cao Jianhua: "Director Cao, the Spring Festival is coming soon, let's have a meal together with the two families to comfort myself and my family who have worked hard for a year." ”

The original intention of Liu Hong's proposal was to take the opportunity of the two families to eat, so that everyone could communicate openly and honestly, and use practical actions to break through the rumors outside.

Cao Jianhua didn't know Liu Hong's intentions, so he hesitated a little and agreed.

Zhao Qingsong didn't want to participate in the event under the pretext that he was busy with work, but he couldn't withstand Liu Hong's persuasion several times, so he had to agree to participate.

In the evening, Liu Hong and Cao Jianhua's two families gathered in a private room of the Joy Hotel, chatting while eating, and the atmosphere was harmonious at the beginning.

Cao Jianhua has always liked to drink, and he always felt uninterested when he saw that there was food and no wine, so he ordered a bottle of liquor, poured a glass of wine for everyone, and proposed that everyone toast to happiness and health.

Liu Hong, Zhao Qingsong and Cao Jianhua's wives all took a small sip.

Cao Jianhua, who raised his neck to drink the wine in the toast, saw that Zhao Qingsong was not drinking crisply, so he pestered him to drink the toast.

Zhao Qingsong was not very cold to Cao Jianhua, so he picked up the wine glass and took a sip out of love, but he still didn't drink it dry.

In order to save some face for Cao Jianhua, Liu Hong counted Zhao Qingsong: "Xiao Zhao, isn't it just a glass of wine? You can accompany Director Cao to drink two more glasses. ”

Cao Jianhua's wife was unhappy and blamed Cao Jianhua and said: "People Xiao Zhao don't like to drink, why do you have to pull others? I hate it to death, what's the benefit of drinking!"

Both men were very embarrassed, so they had to drink sullen wine with their own hearts.

Liu Hong and Cao Jianhua's wife chatted about women in a casual manner, but her attention was still on the wine glass. She saw the boring appearance of the two men, and was afraid that this party would not achieve the purpose of harmony, so she picked up her wine glass and found various excuses to toast Cao Jianhua and his wife, and she drank it all.

The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became warm after Liu Hong's transfer.

Cao Jianhua unknowingly drank too much. He suddenly turned around, put his hands on Liu Hong's shoulders, shook his head, and said indistinctly: "Liu Hong, although you are very good and you are also a big celebrity in the municipal party committee and municipal government, I have always thought that women should not be too strong. ”

Cao Jianhua threw himself into Liu Hong's arms as he spoke, put his head on her chest and fell asleep grogily.

This scene surprised those present.

Liu Hong pushed Cao Jianhua at a loss, and shouted: "Director Cao, Director Cao, wake up!"

Zhao Qingsong glared angrily on the side.

Cao Jianhua's wife picked up the chopsticks at hand and hit him on the head, and reprimanded: "You dead drunkard, run here to be embarrassed! Get up for me!"

The meal ended hastily in a messy and noisy manner.

The hearts of everyone who went to the banquet were like stuffing a ball of cotton with a peculiar smell, and they felt extremely aggrieved, but there was no chance to express it.

Before turning off the lights at night, Zhao Qingsong muttered dissatisfiedly in his mouth: "He drank too much and didn't drill into his wife's arms, but ran into your arms." Who are you?"

Liu Hong glared at Zhao Qingsong angrily, and said solemnly: "Zhao Qingsong, I can tell you, you are not allowed to be careful! He is a drunk person, what do you have to do with him?"

Zhao Qingsong ordered angrily: "Turn off the lights." Go to bed. ”

Liu Hong grabbed Zhao Qingsong's ears and said angrily: "If you don't make it clear, you are not allowed to sleep tonight!"

Zhao Qingsong shouted in pain: "Okay, okay, I admit defeat." I give up. ”

Liu Hong smiled and let go.

Two years passed quickly.

Liu Hong has worked hard in the past two years and gained a lot.

First of all, she got a diploma from Hexi Radio and Television University as she wished.

Secondly, with this diploma and a large number of award-winning news works in cooperation with Cao Jianhua, Liu Hong was exceptionally hired as an intermediate title - first-class announcer.

Thirdly, through observation and understanding, Director Yu Siwei determined that Liu Hong was a talent with a high level of business and strong leadership and management ability, and intended to vigorously cultivate and train Liu Hong, and officially promoted her to be the assistant to Huang Wendao, director of the business department, and enjoyed the treatment of deputy section level.

Long Long has reached the age of 3 and has entered the best 38 kindergarten in the city. Zhao Qingsong is responsible for picking up and dropping off children every day. When he was too busy, Liu Hong would arrange for his father Niu Fushou and mother Zhang Guilan to help.

Niu Xinjiang and Zhou Meili also tied the knot, and their lives were harmonious and beautiful.
