17. Chapter XVII
Huo Hui poked a big basket this day.
And she poked this basket silently, and she didn't know it. As soon as she went to work that day, as soon as she stepped into the office, she felt a strange atmosphere, and all her colleagues looked up at her, with different expressions on their faces.
In the corner team leader's office, there was a loud quarrel.
Huo Hui's footsteps froze, and he asked his colleague blankly, "What's wrong?" β
After almost two months of getting along, she has a good relationship with her colleagues in the group, there is no hostility that she had when she first arrived, and everyone has gradually become familiar with her and has become much friendlier.
Shen Yanli was the first to stand up, and she was unusually stern: "What's wrong?" You're embarrassed to ask us what's wrong, Huo Hui, the matter of the website column is handed over to you, and the group trusts your work ability, but how can you be so self-assertive!! β
Shen Yanli is usually the most able to see the wind and rudder, before she saw that Huo Hui was very valued by Lao Du, and she also knew in her heart that she was an airborne soldier with a good background, and she had been very enthusiastic, and she screamed at a small Huo, but she didn't expect to change her face faster than turning a book at this time.
Huo Hui was confused, looked at Xiao He on the table opposite him, Xiao He pushed his glasses, and whispered to her: "Your manuscript on environmental protection, there is trouble, and the team leader is being scolded." β
"Sister Huo Hui, you may ...... this time It's really a problem. β
Huo Hui remembered that she was talking about the article she wrote in the column on the newspaper's website on Friday. In the middle of the night that day, Yan Jin called to explain the work he had come from.
The office door was pushed open and slammed against the wall with a thud. Yan Jin stood at the door with a face like frost: "Huo Hui, Shen Yanli, come in with me." β
Shen Yanli glared at Huo Hui with a mildew expression, and Huo Hui also followed up and closed the door. Before the person could stand still, Yan Jin twisted the computer on the table in, and pressed Huo Hui's shoulder to force her to look.
"You didn't write it."
On the screen is the news website of the Jinglian Newspaper's foreign affairs office, and on the headline of the life group on the far right is a picture of a giant chimney that is billowing black smoke and headlines in bold black font.
ββThe invisible accomplice of haze, the truth about Jinneng Group's chemical pollution.
He asked in a very bad tone, Huo Hui admitted, not realizing the problem at all: "Yes." β
Yan Jin held his breath in his heart, and the words squeezed out from between his teeth: "You still have the face to say yes!! β
He turned to look at Shen Yanli: "Has she reported to you before the draft?" Why did the non-newspaper interview agree to be published!! She's a newcomer, don't you know how important it is!! β
Shen Yanli has worked with Yan Jin for three years, and has never seen him so atmospheric, so she quickly cleared herself: "I reported to me, but she only sent it over on Thursday night when I saw the manuscript on Friday, and what she gave me at that time was an environmental protection topic selection list, and she didn't even mention the name of the factory, and I didn't say it when I asked her, and the situation was urgent at that time, how did I know that the problem was so strict." β
As the deputy team leader of Huo Hui's direct management, Shen Yanli immediately cleared up the responsibility relationship.
Huo Hui frowned and looked at her, very incredible: "You say it again." β
Shen Yanli rolled her eyelids: "Did I say something wrong, the information you gave me said that you want to do environmental protection themes, I thought you were going to talk about the latest degradable materials that can be applied to life, who knew you were going to say this." β
Huo Hui didn't argue with her, and found the key to the problem very sensibly: "You bring the topic selection list." β
Shen Yanli was weak and pretended to be calm: "That day, when the newspaper went to the factory, I increased the night shift and took it to the printing house, and I landed there. β
The printing factory prints countless things every day, and there are paper papers everywhere, and now I look back to find it, like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Huo Hui pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes were cold: "What happened that day, you know better than me." β
She sent her a topic selection list and asked her to review it, Shen Yanli was in a hurry to get off work to celebrate the anniversary with her husband, she didn't even look at it, she signed it and left.
"That's it!" Yan Jin scolded, and took a deep breath: "Huo Hui, it's not a question of whose responsibility is now, the key is, do you know how much trouble you have caused yourself?" β
"I'm asking you to interview their new tempering application technology, not asking you to accuse them!" He pressed her shoulders and forced her to sit in a chair, staring into her eyes word for word.
Moreover, Jinneng Group came here with a lot of effort from the China Merchants Office, with a market value of billions, not only to undertake the production of chemical steel in several important factories in the city, but also to provide coal for winter heating in surrounding villages and counties. I don't say the consequences, you can estimate it yourself. β
Through her hand, the manuscript of 3,600 words expounded in great detail the facts of Jinneng Group's illegal sewage discharge in the suburbs, simplifying the process of disposing of pollutants, and strictly affecting the ecological environment of the surrounding villages.
"So I'm doing it wrong, am I?" Huo Hui stared at Yan Jin's eyes and asked him rhetorically: "Because it plays an indispensable role, because it is a large group in the city that attracts investment, we can turn a blind eye to the pollution and harm to the surrounding people." β
Yan Jin suddenly avoided her gaze and straightened up: "I didn't mean that. β
"Huo Hui, you must know that your sense of justice cannot save the common people, you have to face far more than that."
Behind the news, there is even more manipulation of interests.
In just one night, Jinglian Newspaper was pushed to the forefront, and the online newspapers and media reprinted it one after another, and several companies competing with Jinneng Group saw this opportunity to hire a water army to launch a gimmick, seizing the hot word pollution to provoke an uproar, which was discussed and hotly discussed by countless netizens, and Jinneng's stock price fell for a while.
The interests involved in this, human relations, and intricate relationships.
Huo Hui is very axial, a little tendoned, she thinks that it is difficult to be persuaded of the right thing: "Yan Jin, I am not a person of noble character, and I don't want to save the common people, in fact, the life and death of others have nothing to do with me, and I am also afraid of things, but when I see it, I should say it." If you don't say it, you can't get over it in your heart. β
She looked at the photos on the screen, the most striking one was a little girl in red clothes, standing in the sewage-flooded field of her home, holding a piece of coal and gnawing, her face and clothes were all black, but the eyes were bright and longing.
Huo Hui pointed at her.
"She was only four years old, her mother had breast cancer, and the family only had 1,200 yuan in savings, so she pointed to those few acres of land to live, when I went, she held the burned coal in her hand and asked her father, can vegetables still grow in the crops, her father didn't say anything, squatted in the corner and sighed, Yan Jin, you say, can you still do it?"
Yan Jin stopped talking.
Huo Hui sneered, stood up under Yan Jin's gaze, and pushed the door out. She put her hand on the doorknob, bowed her head again for a while, and said: "When I wrote it, I was full of enthusiasm, and I really didn't think about it so much, but I will bear the consequences myself, and I won't affect you." β
Yan Jinqi's face turned pale, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "It's easy for you to say!" β
β¦β¦
The matter was so big that even the always optimistic editor-in-chief Lao Du made it difficult.
He sighed and frowned in his office. A bite of a small Huo......
"Xiao Huo, what did you think when you did this?"
Huo Huipestle was in the house, just one principle, insisted on admitting mistakes, and did not repent: "Editor-in-chief, I did everything." β
"Then you are done, do you regret it?"
"No regrets."
"I don't regret it now?"
"No regrets."
Lao Du crossed his waist, took a deep breath, and waved his hand: "You go quickly, don't let me see you today." β
Huo Hui closed the door and went out, Lao Du thought for a while, and was happy again, after so many years in the industry, thorn soldiers are not uncommon, but she is really the only one who is so straightforward and soft when something happens.
Yan Jin admitted his mistake to him and took the lead in taking responsibility: "Editor-in-chief, I have read the manuscript before, I am eager to take credit, I thought it would be a blockbuster news, but I didn't expect to bring so much trouble to the newspaper." β
Lao Du is a personal essence, and snorted coldly: "Would you Yan Jin make such a mistake?" β
After speaking, Lao Du sat down and began to ponder: "One morning, three senior executives of our group have called me, not to mention the pressure on us from those government/government offices, this matter has a great impact, I heard that it has alarmed the environmental protection department, I think so, Xiao Huo has been suspended in the past few days, waiting for follow-up treatment." β
"It's really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers......"
Yan Jin hesitated, pondered again, and asked Lao Du: "Do you want her to write a statement of error or an apology letter to minimize the impact?" β
Lao Du shook his head: "Her temper, can she be willing?" Besides, in our news business, the water that was spilled out of what she said was also the truth in itself, and it hurt your self-esteem too much if you did it. β
"It's not that you and I don't know how developed the network is now, but it's not necessarily a bad thing, once the people cause heated discussions and are pushed to that position, I don't believe that a Jinneng Group can still turn over its hands for clouds and rain for rain?"
Jinglian has been established for so many years, and has been in a tepid position in the mainstream media, this time it was so troubled by Huo Hui's news, but it was paid attention to by many people, and in one morning, the newspaper's official Weibo had hundreds of thousands of fans.
As the editor-in-chief, Lao Du also had to weigh the pros and cons. Behind closed doors, he talked to Yan Jin.
"Let her be suspended first, see the situation, if it really can't be calmed down, let her take the blame and resign is also an explanation to the superiors, if it is a big trouble, we will simply have a hard follow-up report and break the boat."
Yan Jin understood when he heard it, if this matter could not be calmed down due to various relationships, he would pull Huo Hui out and be a target.
If it is taken seriously by the public and the official and makes waves, they continue to report, and the fame and honor are the credit of the newspaper.
Yan Jin was silent, thinking of Huo Hui's words before asking himself, he felt very uncomfortable.
β¦β¦
There were a lot of people coming tonight.
There are a lot of people, some of whom have not been seen for a long time on weekdays have been named, and the boss stands at the door, holding a walkie-talkie to usher in the send-off, smiling faces.
This boundary is in an alley behind the eight alleys, it was a broken courtyard house earlier, the land was not fried up when it was bought and expanded to open a private club, a two-story small building was built on the original basis, the overall use of the Chinese late Qing Dynasty architectural structure, antique and with a little foreign style.
Speaking of the Bada Hutongs, old Beijing knows what kind of place it is.
Push open the two courtyard doors of the Yanshi, the first thing that enters the eye is two glazed red porcelain jars, a pool of lotus koi, bypassing the courtyard into the main house, the house is hung with a charming red tent, the record player in the corner of the wall is the record of the old Shanghai period, the east wall is paved with a two-meter-long handmade Suzhou embroidery, the south side is hung with the famous paintings of the Merry Yashi, one by one, the red national color peony, the phoenix depicting gold and silver, the beautiful women out of the bath, the screen is intricately separated one after another, ensuring the absolute privacy / privacy space of the guests.
You walked over, but you could see one or two through the crack.
On the arhat beds, stacked with brocade and silk, some people are talking in a low voice, and some people are messy in their sideburns, and the beauty is delicate/panting.
That kind of desire to talk is still resting, that kind of flowing is boundless, and people have long been strange to come and go, and it seems to be taken for granted.
The boss named this place Yanshi, and what he wanted was a Yanshi. Although it is in the name of a high-end club, it has never been open to the public, and what I want is to please these children, and how happy they are by their temperament.
The third box on the second floor was the stronghold of Ning Xiaocheng and his group.
In the words of my childhood, it was the old nest, the place where the children gathered for a small meeting with their parents behind their backs. Specialized places for bad ideas.
But today, those few regulars are not there, and Ning Xiaocheng is alone.
He sat in front of the TV, his hands resting on the back of the sofa, and he was looking intently at the chart on the screen.
He has recently been following up on a foreign risk security, and he has invested a lot of money in one breath after seeing the rally, thinking about making a profit, and he has been staring at it for the past few days, but he has not moved in this place, and it is the best time to close the line in front of him.
Ning Xiaocheng started as a venture capitalist, but the venture capital industry knows that he wins a lot and loses miserably, in the first few years, he was young, just entered the industry, and his mentality was not good, sometimes he could earn tens of millions of dollars a night, but when he lost, it was only a few minutes, several ups and downs, and people were depressed.
In the end, Shen Siliang couldn't stand it anymore, kicked the door in, picked up the ice bucket with red wine and poured it down his hair, the cold water startled the half-faded beauty in Ning Xiaocheng's arms, and also cleared his mind a little.
He said, Xiaocheng, if you lose, you will lose, no matter how miserable it is, how miserable can it be, ask for food on the street?
Ning Xiaocheng opened his eyes in a daze.
Shen Siliang sat on the ground, bent one leg, looked at him with a smile, he smiled, Ning Xiaocheng also smiled, Shen Siliang said, I really want to eat, bring Wu Yang, buddy took the enamel jar we used to eat in the canteen, walked from the East Third Ring Road to the West Fourth Ring Road, sang while knocking, and came down in a circle, he was still a good man.
Ning Xiaocheng couldn't help but think about that picture in his mind, and he understood it at once.
As Shen Siliang said, no matter how miserable it is, how miserable can it be? Money is a fart, no matter how much you earn, it's just a number, no matter what, it's not worth these brotherhood.
Since then, he has taken this matter lightly, his hands have been stable, and he has really relied on this to support a lot of business. Now he is playing with these investments, which is really just playing, playing luck, and having fun.
In this line of work, I think too much, and I think too much, sometimes Xiao Cheng can't get an idea, so he lets Shen Siliang choose, two codes, pick him tightly, and he will buy whatever he chooses.
Shen Siliang asked: "Aren't you afraid that I will compensate you?" β
Xiao Cheng smiled: "If you lose, you will lose." β
But Shen Siliang has never missed a move, he is different from Xiao Cheng, he doesn't think as much as him, he is happy, and he is ruthless, what he catches is the momentum in front of him, he never thinks about it, often, such talents are more suitable for playing this.
Sometimes Xiaocheng jokes, or you can just change jobs, come to me as a consultant, what you choose, what you earn, all are yours, and we are also companions.
When Xiao Cheng said this, Shen Siliang was wearing slippers and was squatting on the steps at the door of his house playing with stones.
He said, "I won't do this job, and you people who play with money have deep thoughts." He smiled when he spoke, his smile was pure, which made Xiao Cheng suddenly think of Shen Siliang many years ago.
At that time, his brothers were still wearing open crotch pants, and as soon as he discussed something with him, he was like this now, squatting at the door of the house, playing glass balls, shaving a small head, and having a cunning eye, but he had his own ideas.
Someone behind Ning Xiaocheng called him: "Brother? What's wrong today, I'm not in high spirits. β
Cheng Cong grabbed the man: "Don't bother him, the New York Stock Exchange has just opened at this time, and he is on the rise." β
The man leaned back in decadence, Cheng Cong kicked him and asked him: "I finally took you here to open your eyes, why did you sigh and be unlucky." β
The man said: "It's not that on the Internet, but now it's making a lot of noise, and my dad is about to scold me to death." β
Cheng Cong also knew, a little gloating: "You deserve it, who let you buy a car with the money your father bought for you, I told you, environmental protection and sewage are no small matter, you can't save any money, it's news to be poked out, how about now?" The East Window incident happened. β
The man had a cigarette in his mouth and looked sluggish.
It is the eldest son of Jinneng Group.
Although the eldest prince's face was sluggish, his mouth was ruthless: "Sooner or later, I will dig out the person who stabbed this, I heard that the newspaper did it, can't you write it, go back and chop off his claws, let him write enough." β
The eldest son is about the same as Cheng Cong, his hometown is in Shaanxi, relying on the family to make a name for himself in the past few years, to mix Beijing, Jinneng Group is actually really a practical industry, his father intends to exercise him, invested, and handed over the business to his son to take care of, but this kid is not angry, he just wants to eat, drink and have fun, and privately deducts his father's money into the equipment into his own pocket, the factory is built in the suburbs, wantonly discharges sewage and exhaust gas, saying that those lives are worthless, and insists on contributing to the smog in the city.
Cheng Cong actually doesn't look down on him, he does things badly, in fact, the value of the eldest prince is not high among these people, but Cheng Cong is sleek, no one can be offended, and he can get by on the face.
Just as Ning Xiaocheng closed the line, he picked the highest point of the stock and threw it out, in just a few minutes, he made a lot of net money, he put away the cigarette and mobile phone on the table, and picked up his coat.
A group of people stood up to see him off, and Cheng Cong asked him, "Brother, are you leaving?" β
This glamorous situation was originally Ning Xiaocheng's place, Cheng Cong just brought a few brothers to be lively, and by the way, he came to talk to Ning Xiaocheng about cooperation, and when he saw that he was leaving, it was a bit of a dove occupying the magpie's nest.
Ning Xiaocheng was in a good mood, he patted Cheng Cong on the shoulder: "You guys, I have other things, tell sΓΉ downstairs to put the accounts on me." β
"Brother, then the cooperation I told you ......"
"Say it again."
Seeing that Ning Xiaocheng was leaving, the eldest prince hurriedly rushed to the front and opened the door for him, originally he caused trouble, he wanted to take the opportunity of knowing Ning Xiaocheng to curry favor in front of his own son, but he didn't expect to call himself in, so he didn't care about himself.
"I wanted to have a good chat with you, but you're busy, so another day, another day."
He chatted with Cheng Cong just now, and Ning Xiaocheng listened to a few words, making those unpopular money, and it didn't make much money. Such a person, no matter who he is, Ning Xiaocheng just three words and ignore it.
He glanced at the eldest son, smiled and persuaded without pain: "Don't make trouble for your father again, it won't be uploaded on the Internet for a few days, just for a while, turn around and get on the equipment, take some money to have a settlement for the people around the people, and it's over." β
The eldest prince promised that he was humble in virtue, but he could see that he was unwilling and unconvinced.
The door closed, and Ning Xiaocheng put a polite smile on his face.
He walked out melancholy, feeling in his heart, it was really a different age, these children in their early twenties, compared with when they were young, their hearts were really dark.
