"If I had known this, I would never have let you make this bet!"
Li Wei frowned and said complainingly.
"Then what do we do now?"
Nie Cai felt a little helpless and said.
He and Qin Dapeng fought against each other with all their strength. Both news items were signed separately, so there was no possibility of cooperation. It was almost a life-or-death situation.
If the propaganda minister really chooses Qin Dapeng's article, then his news will be ruined, and even the most important internal reference will be missed!
For a moment, Nie Cai even regretted it.
He regretted that he was too low-key and concealed the fact that he was the central figure in this news.
Otherwise, there is no need to think about this news, and it will definitely be blamed on Nie Cai.
However, after Nie Cai thought about it, he still felt that it would be better to keep a low profile.
This super news system is his biggest trump card. He will not risk exposing his trump card to earn these news points and authority.
As for asking Sun Ying for help? Nie Cai didn't have to think about it. Let's not talk about whether Sun Ying was willing to help with such a trivial matter. Even if he was willing to help, it would be a waste of Sun Ying's favor.
Favors become thinner the more they are used, so they must be reserved for the most important times.
"There is no other way, you can only do your best to write this manuscript!"
Li Wei looked a little solemn, took Nie Cai's manuscript, and helped Nie Cai read it carefully.
She studied it for Nie Cai almost word for word, even more carefully than her own manuscript.
"Your manuscript is very detailed, but according to the standards of the Propaganda Department's article, you have gone a little overboard here. It should be like this..."
Li Wei revised a manuscript of less than 1,000 words for more than half an hour, constantly discussing with Nie Cai, and repeatedly revising the wording of a word.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Looking at Li Wei's haggard appearance, Nie Cai couldn't help but said with emotion.
"Whatever you said, it's my job to revise the manuscript for you. Without you, I don't know how many times I would have been in danger!"
Li Wei Li Wei breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Okay... Qin Dapeng's manuscript will never be as detailed as yours. If the propaganda minister did not choose your manuscript but chose his, it can only be said that he is too biased. It’s too much!”
Nie Cai's face was stern, and what he planned was up to God, and that was all he could do.
As for the final result? Then we can only leave it to fate.
The time soon arrived in the afternoon, and there was a solemn atmosphere on the provincial TV station.
People who usually do messy work have cleaned up, and people who like to go to work and browse Taobao have also changed to office software interfaces. The entire legal channel looks like they are ready.
"Director Ling, why do you think the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee is in charge of our provincial station? We are also a high-level department-level unit after all. Why does he control us..."
Nie Cai had already prepared everything he needed to prepare. He was waiting boredly on his desk. He seemed to have remembered something and asked Director Ling next to him.
"You don't know this, right?"
Director Qian interrupted at this time and explained.
Logically speaking, the superior department of the x provincial TV station should be the Propaganda Department of the x provincial party committee. The Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department and the high-profile main TV station of x provincial TV station can only be regarded as the same level.
However, this news is a bit special. People from the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee refused to come forward. Instead, people from the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee came to act on their behalf.
After all, if this news were to be exposed, I don’t know how many people would be offended, so they pushed it as they could and found a reason to let the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department do it.
Director Zhang from the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee was sent to handle this matter. He was unlucky for eight lifetimes!
According to Director Qian's analysis, Minister Zhang of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee was probably manipulated by someone, so he was involved in such a hard job. He must be in a very bad mood, so be sure not to offend this Minister Zhang, otherwise he will be in trouble. If you are not careful, you may become the target of your anger.
"It's almost time. You all should get ready!"
After speaking, Director Qian glanced at the time and said to Nie Cai and Qin Dapeng.
"coming!"
I don't know who shouted at the office door, and the office quickly became quiet.
Nie Cai stared in the direction of the office door and glanced at his watch. Sure enough, it was exactly three o'clock, exactly one minute.
There was a noise from the door, and a group of people rushed over.
"Minister Zhang, this is the office area of our legal channel."
Director Liao introduced with a smile from the front.
Even though the person who came was just a director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, who was at the same level as him, the high-ranking director of the department, he still introduced it with all his heart.
The Propaganda Department still has much more power than the TV station. Even if he is at the same level, he is still half a height shorter than the Propaganda Department.
Logically speaking, Deputy Director Qin, the acting director, should have come to greet Minister Zhang today, but Deputy Director Qin was still having a meeting out of town, so Director Liao had to do it for him.
"How about, Minister Zhang, you first visit and guide our work, and then..."
Director Liao greeted him warmly, but a stiff voice interrupted him.
The speaker was short and fat, wearing a black suit and a felt hat with a low brim. He should be Director Zhang of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee.
For some reason, Nie Cai's heart suddenly moved when he saw Minister Zhang appear, as if he looked familiar.
"Forget it, Director Liao, let's not talk so much nonsense. I came here today to complete the task assigned to me by the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee. Let's get straight to the point!"
However, after listening to Director Liao's compliments, Minister Zhang's tone was stiff and very disrespectful.
Hearing what the other party said was so rude, Director Liao's expression changed a little.
The director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee is only at the department level. Like the director of the station, he is a department-level official. Generally speaking, he must be given some face.
But this Minister Zhang was good. He had a dark face and a very rude tone from the moment he appeared. He simply didn't give him any face.
Director Liao also knew that Minister Zhang was forced to deal with this matter, and he must be unhappy.
But it’s okay if you hate the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee. I didn’t provoke you, so why do you also hate others
"Okay, then let's get straight to the point."
Fortunately, Director Liao had excellent self-control and quickly returned to normal. With a smile on his face, he led Minister Zhang to the office area of "Case Tracking".
Director Qian had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Minister Zhang, he quickly smiled and said: "Hello, Minister Zhang, I am Director Qian of the Legal Channel. I am very happy that the Minister can come to our column to guide the work..."
Director Qian said a lot of words, but Minister Zhang kept a straight face and just snorted from his nostrils as an answer.
Good guy, this time he didn't even bother to deal with it, he just acted so coldly,
"Where is the manuscript?"
He extended his hand to Director Qian unceremoniously and said bluntly.
It was so disrespectful. Director Qian's expression changed slightly. It is estimated that Minister Zhang was in a terrible mood today.
Director Qian did not dare to look unhappy at all, and quickly said with a shy smile: "Minister Zhang, our news is a bit special. It happened that two reporters took pictures. Their reporting angles are different, and their writing is very exciting. I really I don’t know how to choose. Minister Zhang has been on the front line of publicity work all year round and has a high professional level. How about you choose one?"
"Really? Then let me see."
Minister Zhang snorted and said.
"Take your time and watch..."
After hearing what Minister Zhang said, Qin Dapeng quickly picked up his manuscript, handed it to him with both hands, and then brought a chair for Minister Zhang to sit on.
This Minister Zhang didn't even give Director Qian face. How dare he mess with a little reporter? Of course he didn't dare to neglect him.
However, to Qin Dapeng's expectation, Minister Zhang took the manuscript and smiled for the first time.
"Are you Qin Dapeng? Not bad, not bad..."
Minister Zhang smiled slightly at Qin Dapeng, then sat down and said.
Seeing Minister Zhang's attitude, Qin Dapeng suddenly felt happy!
Minister Zhang actually showed a good face towards him. Even Director Liao had never enjoyed this kind of treatment!
It seems that Minister Zhang still gave his father face. After all, they are all old classmates, no matter how bad their mood is, they still have to show some respect.
Minister Zhang picked up the manuscript and read it for a while, nodded, and said: "Yes, the article you wrote is very good. It objectively reports the facts of the news. I think I will choose this article!"
He put down the manuscript, waved his hand, and immediately decided.
Hearing this, Nie Cai was immediately dumbfounded.
Minister Zhang hasn't read his manuscript yet, so he made a hasty decision like this
He thought about many possibilities, but he never imagined that Minister Zhang would be so obviously partial. He only took one look at Qin Dapeng's manuscript and made his decision.
This is too nonsense!
"Minister Zhang, we have another reporter who also wrote a story..."
Director Ling gritted his teeth and spoke for Nie Cai.
Anyone can see that Minister Zhang made a decision too hastily. He made a decision without even reading Nie Cai's manuscript. There is no fairness at all.
"What, I make a decision, do you have any opinions?"
Minister Zhang glared, seemed to be angry, and said to Director Ling: "If you have the ability, can you be a representative of the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department as a reviewer? I don't want to be one yet..."
Everyone can see that Minister Zhang is very angry now, as if he is a powder keg, ready to explode at the first touch.
Director Ling dared to contradict him at this time, which was simply asking for death.
"Calm down, calm down, Minister Zhang, your vision is so accurate, you can't be wrong."
Director Qian quickly glared at Director Ling and said with a smile.
Director Ling's face turned a little pale, but he also understood that there seemed to be nothing he could do to persuade Minister Zhang.
Just as Minister Zhang was about to leave, Nie Cai suddenly stood up from his desk.
"Minister Zhang, would you like to take a look at my manuscript?"
He held the manuscript in his right hand and handed it to Minister Zhang straightforwardly.
The people around him suddenly fell silent, as if they didn't expect that Director Ling had just been scolded, and Nie Cai stood up again without hesitation.
If you don't do it, you won't die. Even Director Ling, the producer and director Zhang, didn't give him face and was scolded bloody. It would be even worse for him as a young reporter!
