An Eye for News

Chapter 262: absent

Views:

The first ray of morning light fell on the desk, and Nie Cai opened his eyes drowsily.

"Damn, you actually fell asleep?"

Nie Cai suddenly woke up and quickly got up.

He worked on the news all night long last night, and he did it for most of the night. He barely managed to do it, and finally couldn't hold it in anymore and fell asleep.

Nie Cai smelled the odor on his body. It was a mixture of sweat, gunpowder, sewer and other odors, which made people frown.

"Damn, I can't work like this, otherwise my image will be ruined!"

Nie Cai quickly cleared the table and hurried back home.

Perhaps because he stayed in the sewer for too long, Nie Cai was smelly and had to wash himself off for a long time. It took him more than half a bottle of shower gel to wash him off. It wasn't until about nine o'clock that Nie Cai returned to the x provincial TV station.

"Have you heard, something big happened last night..."

"Yes, I heard from my friends in the Public Security Bureau that there was a big operation last night, and armored vehicles were used to attack!"

"It's a pity that the confidentiality level of this operation is too high. Only the reporters accompanying the army recorded it, and not even the provincial station was notified..."

As soon as Nie Cai walked into the legal channel's office area, he heard people talking about it.

"You were late just after finishing the report. You really relied on someone above to ignore you, right?"

Qian Xiaohao smiled strangely and said to Nie Cai, who had just walked into the office: "You didn't even attend the morning meeting. Are you going to participate in the Golden Laurel Award selection with Deputy Director Li?"

In fact, in this reporter's field, due to the irregular working hours, arriving late and leaving early is commonplace. For example, if you go out for an interview in the middle of the night, you can't be energetic and clock in at work the next day, right? So it’s good for everyone to understand each other.

But... like Nie Cai, it was too blatant to eat the food the next day just after reporting, and he was more than an hour late.

Nie Cai frowned. Qian Xiaohao saw that he was late and deliberately raised his voice, fearing that the entire office would not know.

How did he know that he had been working overtime in the office all night? Anyway, he and Nie Cai had a fight yesterday, and this time they made a fuss over Nie Cai's lateness.

"Just say a few words and no one will think you are mute."

Nie Cai didn't bother to explain to him and sat down directly on his desk.

"Nie Cai, you are so arrogant. Why do you say that I am your senior? How can you talk to a senior like this?"

Infuriated by Nie Cai's disregard, Qian Xiaohao immediately became angry. He walked to Nie Cai's desk and said with a sneer: "You just got up, right? You look so sleepy. Did you go on a rampage last night?"

Qian Xiaohao seemed to be unreasonable and pointed at Nie Cai and said, "Look at your hair. You took a shower when you had time, but your hair is not even dry. Why don't you have time to take a shower when you have time to go to work on time?"

Nie Cai frowned. No wonder Qian Xiaohao is not popular in the column. A grown man is as fussy and fussy as a menopausal woman. If it weren't for the fact that he is Director Qian's younger brother, he would have lost all his friends long ago. .

There was actually a quarrel

Everyone in the office quietly turned their attention to him, and Dong Rou, who was sitting across the table from Nie Cai, gathered around blatantly, chewing gum and watching with interest.

Anyway, watching the excitement is not too big a deal, and she just happened to see how these two "connected households" fought.

Nie Cai snorted coldly, stood up, and was about to fall out, but just when the two of them were at war with each other, a man came over and stood in the middle of them.

It was Tang Lei who appeared in time and advised: "Okay...it's early in the morning, don't be so angry."

He adjusted the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, feeling a little headache.

Neither of these two people is easy to mess with. One is Li Wei's rumored boyfriend, and the other is Director Qian's biological brother. It can be said that his boss is standing behind him. Even he, the director, can only help each other and fight. Forget it.

Without waiting for the two of them to speak, Tang Lei continued: "I just received a notification from Taili that a press conference will be held at the Municipal Public Security Department today about the big event that happened last night."

"real?"

Dong Rou's expression changed slightly, and she quickly asked: "This time the Municipal Public Security Department acted very quickly! Let's go get ready quickly and make an interview outline or something..."

"If only it were that easy..."

But Tang Lei smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "There is no quota for us in this press conference. All the people invited are very influential media... There are not even people from our satellite TV channel on the media list."

This press conference was of a high level, and all large media outlets such as CCTV, Phoenix Channel, and Tencent News were invited. Provincial media such as X Provincial TV Station were not qualified to enter the press conference.

"Damn, the provincial department is looking down on people so much this time!"

Dong Rou slapped the table hard and said with a cold snort.

Although the influence of the provincial TV station is low in the national satellite TV rankings, it is not in the turn of the provincial TV station in terms of level. This is the result of being poor and weak for many years and not having its own influence.

However, things are not so absolute.

Since this case press conference is in province x, the TV station of province x is considered a landlord. Under normal circumstances, it will take care of it and let a few media from province x attend the press conference.

Sometimes, after comprehensive consideration, the organizer will even arrange a prime location for reporters to take pictures and ask questions.

However, this time the Municipal Public Security Department did an extraordinary job. Not only did they arrange good seats and other benefits, they did not even give them a symbolic quota. This is really looking down on people.

"It's not what the provincial department meant. They can't be so ruthless and make us miss this conference. The main reason is that this conference is hosted by an airborne task force, and they can't get involved."

Tang Lei had a helpless look on his face and said to Qian Xiaohao: "Brother Qian, I can only rely on you this time... take more shots."

Hearing the news, Qian Xiaohao's face showed a smile. He was waiting for this sentence from Tang Lei.

"This is bad, I'm no longer from CCTV..."

Qian Xiaohao said with a troubled look on his face.

"I can't help it. I can only rely on you this time. You still have something to do with it. What the provincial department did this time is too unfair..."

Tang Lei gave a wry smile, almost pleading, and managed to convince Qian Xiaohao to agree.

As the legal channel of Province X, it would be outrageous if such a big case could not produce a decent article.

There was great commotion at the scene of the firefight last night, and the surrounding residents were alarmed. They are probably waiting eagerly for tonight's program and want to know what happened.

If the legal channel cannot produce a decent piece of news that satisfies the thirst for knowledge of the vast audience in province X, I am afraid that the reputation of incompetence will never go away.

"Okay, Director Tang... I'll contact you soon to see if it's possible."

Qian Xiaohao said with a proud look on his face.

"Thank you, Brother Qian, for troubling you again..."

Tang Lei sighed, patted Qian Xiaohao's shoulder and said.

Qian Xiaohao nodded, smiled proudly, picked up the phone and walked into the office, seemingly making contact.

"Damn, isn't it because he has some connections at CCTV? Director Tang begs him for a long time every time, just like his grandson!"

Seeing Qian Xiaohao leave, Dong Rou couldn't stand it anymore and snorted coldly.

She just couldn't stand Qian Xiaohao's pretentious look. Didn't she just go to the central stage and get gold plated? He made himself look very noble, and even asked the leader to beg him in turn.

"Xiao Dong, stop talking. I won't lose anything if I ask twice. As long as I can make news, I'll be satisfied."

Tang Lei smiled and said nonchalantly.

This Qian Xiaohao has a background and connections. Although he is nominally his subordinate, he never regards himself as a leader when talking. He has become accustomed to this.

"Director Tang, you just spoiled him and made him develop this arrogant look!"

Dong Rou said angrily, it seems that Qian Xiaohao is indeed quite unpopular.

"what happened?"

Nie Cai was a little confused when he heard this, so he couldn't help but interjected and asked.

"Xiao Nie, we didn't have a quota for this press conference, so we had to ask Qian Xiaohao to rely on his connections and let reporters from CCTV take him in. He got through. Although he couldn't ask questions, at least it was guaranteed on camera."

Tang Lei explained patiently, but there was a somewhat helpless look on his face.

"I see!"

Nie Cai nodded, feeling suddenly enlightened.

It turns out that "Legal Frontline" tolerates Qian Xiaohao for this reason. As someone who has been to CCTV, he must have various connections with people at CCTV.

China is a society that values relationships, and his relationship is very useful at critical moments. I think I can continue his relationship today and enter the press conference to shoot footage to make tonight's news.

As the largest and highest-level television media in the country, CCTV is the mouthpiece of the party and the government. No matter which unit it is in, it will sell their face.

If a reporter from CCTV speaks out and brings someone in, it usually won't be a problem.

However, Nie Cai was a little confused when he thought of this.

Leader Hou of the task force seemed to have a lot of praise for him. As a reporter for the x provincial TV station, and as a key figure in this case, logically he had to invite the x provincial TV station.

At this moment, Qian Xiaohao opened the door and walked out of the small office with a creak.

His call didn't take long, and the call was completed in less than two minutes.

"How about it?"

Tang Lei asked immediately with a nervous look on his face.

"No problem. My brother said he could take us in. He should be able to help me with this kind of thing..."

Qian Xiaohao smiled proudly and said proudly.

"Very good!"

Upon hearing the news, Tang Lei's face immediately showed joy.

It would be easier if I agreed. This time the legal channel finally did not miss such an important press conference.

However, at this moment, Qian Xiaohao changed the topic, stared at Nie Cai, and showed a smile: "It's just that I need a helper. Director Tang, how about you send Xiao Nie to help me? It's just right. Get her familiar with the work..."

As soon as Qian Xiaohao finished speaking, everyone's expressions suddenly changed!

Unexpectedly, Qian Xiaohao actually made such a request... Isn't this just using chicken feathers as arrows

Relying on his "merit", he took the opportunity to suppress Nie Cai, let Nie Cai come and attack him, and publicly humiliated him. This move was too insidious!
