"Bang Bang"

Su Xing gently knocked on the door of Li Shan, deputy editor-in-chief of China Youth Daily. He was carrying four bottles of Moutai and two Chinese cigarettes in his hands.

Although it was a little painful, Su Xing still purchased twice the amount of Su Cheng's gift. His mother Wang Lizhen was very supportive, saying that "I would rather vacate the family than beat down the arrogance of Su Cheng", and took out all the cigarettes and alcohol left for Su Dongyuan.

If it weren't for this, Su Xing's one-month salary would not be able to afford such a gift. He estimated that by the time he met with important people from important media, his father Su Dongyuan's cigarettes and alcohol would almost run out.

Li Shan opened the door with a "bang", and then asked through the mesh door, "Who are you looking for?"

It was a thin man of medium stature, with slender eyes and thin eyelids, who looked somewhat arrogant and cold. He wore an earthy yellow coat with a messy sweater underneath and a light blue cotton thread sticking out of his neck.

Su Xing has lived for 20 years, and he has never begged anyone, so he unconsciously whispered at this time, and said: "It's Editor-in-Chief Li, my name is Su Xing, and I also graduated from Peking University, so I came to visit you." ”

Listening to his tone, it was as if he was visiting a retired worker. This is a matter of personal experience, Su Cheng interviewed dozens of companies before crossing, under the pressure of life, refined superhuman face and courage, and traveled to the 80s, in the process of charging towards the goal, he also exercised himself step by step, worked as a worker, engaged in administration, became a boss, played politics, and did more than many people have done in their lives. Su Xing survived and grew up under the nourishment of his parents, and it was really the first time to give gifts late at night, and he accidentally said the wrong thing.

Li Shan used his slender eyes to examine Su Xing, and after a while, he pushed open the screen window door and said, "Come in." There are many people in the family. ”

His tone was ordinary, mainly because he didn't want the neighbors to hear their voices in the hallway, so he let Su Xing in. Li Shan lives in a simple building built by the newspaper office, which is four stories high. On one side is the balustrade corridor, and on the other side is the house and the small windows for lighting, not only the walls in the room are thin, but the windows in front of the door themselves are transparent.

There were several people in the living room. Su Xing carefully placed the cigarettes and alcohol by the door, next to the dark red TV cabinet, and then slowly straightened up.

It is a two-bedroom or three-bedroom house, the living room is not small, and the floor is covered with plastic leather. It shows the solidity of the family. Directly next to the wall facing the door. There is a set of black leatherette couches, and behind it is a photo wall, densely pasted with twenty or thirty black and white photos and a few color photos. In front of him is a coffee table with a white embroidered tablecloth pressed with glass plates. There is a matching black armchair on each side.

On the couch sat a woman in her 40s, about Li Shan's wife, watching "Morning in Shanghai" on TV intently. The sound is very small. On a single bed diagonally facing the door, two children sat cross-legged, about the first and second years of junior high school, and they were also watching TV intently, ignoring the arrival of Su Xing.

Li Shan also didn't take Su Xing seriously, said "sit", and sat back on the rattan chair himself, then lit a cigarette and handed another cigarette to Su Xing.

Su Xing sat on a chair next to the coffee table, and behind him was a sewing machine with a pedal. He said "I won't". Li Shan naturally put it down, didn't mean to let it go again, and asked, "What year did you graduate?"

"87. Su Xing said loudly.

"The voice is quieter, the boss is tutoring in the back room. Under his wife's stern gaze, Li Shan took a sip of cigarette butts, smiled slightly, and said, "It's only been two years since I graduated." ”

"Yes. It's been more than two years since I graduated. Despite the explanation of his mother Wang Lizhen, Su Xing still has a strong sense of shame. Once upon a time, he was going to speak in a whisper? Whether it was when he was going to school or working, he had never been so passive, and giving gifts was the first time that a big girl went to a sedan chair, and only when he thought that Su Cheng also had such a thing, he felt better.

In fact. Su Cheng reported his identity when he met, and inquired about the news in advance. If you know that it is not easy to speak, you will also pull an acquaintance alumnus to be an introducer. He is a student of the Chinese Department, and in terms of personal social resources alone, he is much richer than Su Punishment, second only to Su Dongyuan, and the treatment he receives is completely different from him.

After all, Su Xing's identity is only Su Dongyuan's son. If it were placed in 20 years, Secretary Xu might still take the initiative to help, but in the environment of the 80s, he could only fight alone.

Li Shan regarded Su Xing as a young man from his unit or a subordinate unit, and he didn't say a word. Li Shan's wife squinted at him from time to time, urging him to go, perhaps because of the bulging four bottles of wine and the two cigarettes that came out, so she didn't make a sound.

This is actually a small mistake by Su Xing, he is afraid that people will see the appearance of giving gifts, so the gift package is tight, and the noble bodies of Chinese cigarettes and Moutai wine cannot be revealed at all. If it weren't for Mrs. Li's experience, she wouldn't even be able to tell whether it was wine or fruit.

Su Xing really wanted to leave in a rage, shook his body, and simply got down to business, saying: "Editor-in-Chief Li, I heard that Dahua Industrial held a press conference? ”

"For that press conference, we are going to send senior reporters, and we have already decided on people. Li Shan patted his head and thought, "You were transferred this year?

There are several sub-journals under China Youth Daily, including many heavyweight national newspapers and periodicals, including the Youth Reference, which once published five basic reports. Li Shan is the deputy editor-in-chief of this magazine, because he doesn't remember Su Xing, so he thinks he is a young man who was newly transferred from the following sub-magazine.

When Su Xing heard him say that he was a senior reporter, he thought that "China Youth Daily" would focus on reporting on Dahua Industrial's press conference, and said unhappily: "I am not your reporter, I am from the Central Propaganda Department." ”

"Central Propaganda Department?" Li Shan straightened his waist slightly.

Su Xing observed his subtle movements, and his mood improved, before explaining: "I am not representing the Central Propaganda Department, I am here in my personal capacity, and I want to ask China Youth Daily not to participate in this Dahua Industrial press conference." ”

"What is your personal identity?" Li Shan thought to himself: what kind of identity are you. His waist collapsed again, leaned back on the couch, and asked, "Why don't you attend this press conference?" ”

Su Xing heard his voice, but he didn't have the courage to say, "My dad is Su Dongyuan", so he could only say euphemistically: "This press conference is a trap, if you don't believe it, you can ask Secretary Su." ”

"Which Secretary Su?"

"Secretary Su Dongyuan. ”

Li Shan thought about it for a while before he figured out who Su Dongyuan was. He was taken aback. On the surface, he said without revealing anything: "This is what Secretary Su meant?"

"Sort of. ”

Li Shan fell into thinking, he was a college student in the late 60s, he did not die after the movement, and he became the deputy editor-in-chief of the central organ newspaper, and it is no longer purely the opinion of the leadership to consider things. There are only a handful of media and periodicals of this size in the country, but there are more leaders at the ministerial level than there are tabloids. Li Shan obeyed the order. He couldn't do that either.

Once the newspaper is published, its contents cannot be changed. Therefore, grasping politics is the most important thing for a media of his level to consider. The second is the leader in charge. As far as Li Shan's experience is concerned, if you get the order wrong, you will get a temporary benefit. In the long run, it will suffer a big loss. As for the leaders of different systems like Su Dongyuan, they really need to be respected, but they can't be obedient step by step, especially when they don't even have a note.

Li Shanyi smiled, pushed his wife, and told her to "make tea", and then said: "What does Secretary Su mean that this press conference is a trap?"

"The content of the press conference is untrue, and I hope you will not report it. Su Xing finally regained some self-confidence. Said word by word.

Li Shan let out an "oh" and continued to ask: "I have the impression that there are four parts of Dahua Industrial's report, one is to report on the situation of the Setan oil field they have developed in the United Arab Emirates, one is the development and production of Dahua Industrial's offshore drilling platform, the third is the situation of China's first international oil exhibition, and the fourth is the future investment of Dahua Industrial. What Secretary Su meant was untrue. I won't report it. ”

"Why do you have so many questions. Isn't it over if you don't report it?" Su Xing got the tea, pinched it, and said with dissatisfaction, "Did you accept Su Cheng's gift, so you spoke for him." ”

"Wronged. "Li Shan somehow. I remembered the youngsters of the sports era. He glanced at the gift given by Su Xing, and said with a wry smile: "I just said that in the four points." Regardless of the second and fourth items, the first and third items, that is, the Setan oil field developed by China in the United Arab Emirates, and the situation of China's first international petroleum exhibition, are the focus of the report designated by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League. ”

Su Xing himself worked in the Central Propaganda Department, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he knew such rules. If the information department or the public information section arranges a key reporting project, the reporting intensity is insufficient, and it is necessary to hold accountable, otherwise how can the role of leadership and publicity guidance be reflected?

However, this also couldn't help him, Su Xing turned his mind and said: "If you don't report this time, you won't report next time." This time, you can say that the layout is not lined up or something. ”

Li Shan asked, "Are these two items okay?"

"No problem. ”

"Since that's fine, let's report on it. Otherwise, let the above know that we didn't even go to the press conference, and it will definitely say that we have not done our job well. In addition, the Dahua Industrial press conference has already been arranged, and the layout has been left, and I suddenly said that I would not report it, and the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief will also ask me, and I will not be able to explain when the time comes. Li Shan was an old Jiang and said something that made Su Xing stunned: "Actually, what specific part can't be reported, please write a note from Secretary Su, and we will definitely not report it indiscriminately." ”

Su Xing now knows what his father means. These "key newspapers" do listen to greetings, but they don't listen to greetings in a different way than other newspapers. Those ordinary newspapers, how dare they ask for a note and then be obedient.

He had no choice but to take out the note written by Su Dongyuan and handed it to Li Shan. Su Dongyuan had long known that these big newspapers were difficult, so he prepared a note for him.

Li Shan unceremoniously unfolded it, and wrote a row of words vertically in the strong and powerful pen characters: Please arrange a report on October 23 as appropriate. Su Dongyuan.

This is said incomprehensibly, and it is very clear. 23 October was the time for Dahua Industrial to hold a press conference, but only after Su Xing's explanation could we understand whether he was in favor or against, and how much he was in favor of and against.

Li Shan carefully put away the note, smiled, and said, "Okay." In that case, we'll just attend the press conference on the 23rd and cover those two. ”

"Actually, it's better not to go. ”

"Secretary Su said that he would arrange the report on the 23rd as appropriate, and it would be bad not to go. Li Shan showed cunning again.

"Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Lee. Su Xing was weak for a while, and then advised: "At most, only report on this." ”

"Good. At most, these two items will be covered at this press conference. ”

Su Xing left Li's house with fatigue, still carrying four bottles of Moutai and two cigarettes in his hands. Anyway, Li Shan refused to accept the gift, he blushed again inside, and he didn't want to lose face, so he simply brought it up.

Thinking of having to visit nearly 10 such households, Su Xing felt that his heels were even weaker, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: How did Su Cheng do it? By the way, in the press conference, he added things that other newspapers wanted to focus on, and the gifts were only incidental.

Thinking of his father Su Dongyuan's comments and comparisons, Su Xing felt even more unfair, and secretly thought: I want to stop the report, it is much more difficult than Su Cheng.

He stood for a while, feeling that his body was cold, and he was about to move forward, when there was a "click" sound of opening the door behind him, and then Li Shan and his wife thanked him.

Su Xing listened carefully, knowing that they were sending the teacher to make up the class, and he didn't care, and was about to open the way, when suddenly the word "Su Dong" floated into his ears.

After a while, the teacher who made up the class walked over with a deep and shallow foot.

Su Xing hid in the dark, and waited for the make-up teacher to walk by, and then slowly followed.

The two were separated by more than ten meters, and they left the family courtyard one after the other.

After that, I saw the tutor standing on the side of the road, waiting unhurriedly.

Su Xing looked at his watch, it was 9 o'clock in the evening, could there be a bus?

Just as he was thinking, a blue "noodle" stopped in front of the tutor. The door at the back opened, and a voice came from inside: "Xiao Lin ended early today, did it go well?"

"As always, someone came today, I'll finish early, and I'll go back and tell you. The tutor said and got into the carriage.

"Okay. But another person in the carriage came out and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, Xiao Liu, you two college students are the treasures of our public relations department, if it weren't for the two of you, these high school students, we really can't find anyone to tutor, thank you." ”

"It's not hard, the company pays overtime, and it's also work. ”

"Yes, it's work, too. This is obviously a leader, and he took the opportunity to conduct ideological education on several people in the carriage: "Su Dong came to our public relations department last time, and I still remember what he said. Whether it is government relations or media relations, they are all done, not spoken. You have just come to the company, you may not understand, let me tell you, don't underestimate being a tutor, this is the initiative of our public relations department. What Chinese care about most is their children, and no matter how old the leaders are, they are no exception. If you drink wine with the leader for two hours a day and talk for two hours, it is not useful to tutor the leader's children twice a week. ”

Even the tutors are from Sioux City!

This bastard is really a rat, and it is pervasive.

Su picked up his cigarette and alcohol angrily, and strode towards the car he borrowed. Sitting in the driver's seat, he inadvertently remembered what the big Chinese said in the dark: media relations are made, not spoken.

Thinking about this, and looking at the cigarettes and alcohol in the passenger seat, Su Xing felt terrible.
