An Eye for News

Chapter 34: Beauty director

Views:

At the door of the conference room, a woman with a ponytail, a bohemian dress, and a printed canvas backpack walked in.

This woman who was dressed up and looked like a butterfly was none other than Li Wei, the provincial and Taiwanese reporter who Nie Cai rescued on the rooftop yesterday, from the "Legal Frontline" column.

However, this woman dresses really casually, and her outfit is almost like going on vacation. If any female reporter from S County TV station dared to dress like this, she would have been scolded to death by Wei Jianguo.

"Li Wei? What is she doing here?"

Thinking of this, Nie Cai looked quietly at the station director Wei Jianguo, only to find that after Li Wei came in, Wei Jianguo took a step back and let Li Wei go in front.

This attitude seemed to be very respectful, which made Nie Cai think of another possibility.

"Are you... Director Li Weili from the Provincial Information Channel? I am Xiao Zhao from the Propaganda Department of the County Party Committee. I didn't expect you to be here!"

Director Zhao was suddenly moved, stood up quickly, and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Li Wei.

"You need to add a subtitle, otherwise I won't dare to take it. In fact, I prefer others to call me the title of chief reporter."

But Li Wei didn't reach out at all, which made Director Zhao extremely embarrassed.

It’s okay for subordinates to shake hands with their superiors, but it’s considered a big rudeness to shake hands with female bosses.

There are differences between men and women. According to social etiquette, unless a woman takes the initiative to shake hands, a man cannot take the initiative to extend his hand!

"This Li Wei looks like she is in her early twenties at most, but she is already the deputy director?"

Hearing Director Zhao tell Li Wei's identity, Nie Cai looked a little strange and couldn't help but secretly thought.

No wonder the Propaganda Department came, and the station director Wei Jianguo didn't have time to receive them. It turned out that he was there to receive the leaders of the provincial station.

He still knows a little about the structure of the provincial TV station. In addition to the satellite TV channel, there are several sub-channels under the x provincial TV station, such as news, information, legal and other sub-channels.

The x provincial TV station is a rare high-level department-level unit in China. The director is at the department level, equivalent to the mayor's level, while the deputy director is at the deputy department level. The administrative levels of the chief and deputy directors of these sub-channels are uncertain, and they are approximately at the deputy director level. The levels around the department, chief department, and deputy department.

However, even if Li Wei, the deputy director, is only at the level of deputy director, it is still scary enough.

How many deputy directors under the age of thirty are there in the entire province of x, or even in the country? This promotion speed is too awesome!

If you think about it, you will know that except for the county party committee secretary, county magistrate, county people's congress director, county CPPCC chairperson, and other big leaders who can surpass her level, the rest of the people in S County are at most on an equal footing with this "little girl" .

It’s really annoying to compare people with others, so you have to throw away the goods!

Nie Cai couldn't help but smile bitterly when he remembered that yesterday he thought she was just an ordinary little reporter and talked to her so carelessly.

"Hello, Nie Cai, I made an appointment with you yesterday. I came to ask you for news materials. You haven't forgotten it, right?"

Li Wei smiled at Nie Cai and stretched out her hand.

"Hello... Deputy Director Li."

Nie Cai was stunned and quickly reached out his hand to shake it gently.

Feeling that the beautiful director's hands were as soft as boneless, she felt a little distracted.

To be honest, she looked completely different from yesterday when she was dressed like this. Yesterday she looked like an intellectual beauty, but today she looked like a retro literary and artistic person. If she hadn't spoken, Nie Cai would not have dared to walk on the street. Recognize her.

After saying hello to Nie Cai, Li Wei walked to the conference table and put her bag on the conference table casually, her face slightly covered with frost.

"I seemed to hear some noise at the door just now. Director Zhao said that the explosion in the commercial building cannot be reported. The impact will be very bad. The reporter should be suspended?"

After a pause, Li Wei stared at Director Zhao, with a playful smile on her face, and said: "Then I have to ask, our provincial station also reported it, or the report I sent back yesterday. Is this inconsistent with the report? The main theme of society also requires me to be suspended from work for review?"

As soon as she said these words, the entire conference room suddenly became silent, and you could even hear a pin drop.

"No, no... whatever happens, the propaganda trend of the provincial and Taiwanese broadcasters is our trend."

Although Director Zhao looked impressive in front of Nie Cai, in front of Li Wei, he didn't even dare to take a breath.

How could he, a small department-level cadre, dare to confront Li Wei

Not to mention, Li Wei also represents the provincial station. He just criticized Nie Cai for disrupting the main theme of society. Isn't this a slap in the face of the provincial station

Unless Wang Runfa, the head of the Propaganda Department, personally takes action, that's pretty much it!

"If that's the case, then this reporter Nie didn't do anything wrong, right? Tsk, tsk, asking a favor to remove a story that could have been published on the central stage. I have never seen this kind of backstabbing in the entire province of X. "

As soon as Li Wei said these words, Wei Jianguo's face turned bad.

He didn't dare to get angry with Director Zhao, but he gave Yu Jinsong a fierce look.

He was very clear about the situation in the station. He was only one short of a Central Station article to complete the year-end task, but now the Propaganda Department interfered and ruined the good thing.

This kind of thing simply destroys people's financial opportunities and hinders their future. It's strange that the TV station doesn't hate it.

"We did not consider this matter. I will go back and talk to our leader right now."

Director Zhao's face was green and red, and he looked as embarrassed as possible. The stool under his butt seemed to have thorns.

This Li Wei didn't know where she came from, but she actually supported Nie Cai. Today's task of suppressing Nie Cai cannot be completed no matter what.

Suddenly something clicked in his heart. He remembered that he had read the report yesterday. It turned out that there was another reporter on the rooftop who was taken hostage. Could it be that he was from the provincial station

The press release was vague and didn't say where the reporter was from, but judging from Li Wei's attitude, I'm afraid this is really the case!

"Damn it, why didn't anyone tell me that Nie Cai rescued a reporter from the provincial station yesterday? It's even possible that it was Li Wei?"

Director Zhao felt so regretful that he almost vomited blood. If he had known that Li Wei owed Nie Cai such a huge favor, why would he have come to S County TV station so stupidly

Isn't this just giving your cheeks to be slapped

Li Wei, regardless of what Director Zhao was thinking, stood up and stretched.

"Okay, now that the matter is settled, Nie Cai, please take me to get the materials."

She patted Nie Cai on the shoulder, carried her bag and walked out of the door.

"Oh well."

Nie Cai woke up from his dream, quickly picked up the press card on the table, and followed him.

Director Wei Jianguo originally wanted to follow him, but after thinking about it, he still pulled Nie Cai and said quietly: "Xiao Nie, you are doing well, why didn't you tell me that she was the one you rescued yesterday?"

"I only knew that she was a reporter from the provincial station, but I didn't know that she was a deputy director! She is so young, and she is a deputy division-level leader like the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. How could I have imagined it!"

Nie Cai replied in a low voice, with some disbelief in his tone.

Just looking at Li Wei's appearance, I'm afraid it would be difficult for anyone to connect with a leader at the deputy division level.

It would be fine if she was in a place like the Youth League Committee that trains young cadres, but she was in a TV station!

"Okay, you just know it now."

Wei Jianguo is indeed a mature man. He saw the essence of the problem at a glance. He pushed Nie Cai and said earnestly: "She must have a good impression of you. She must be here for you today. I am an old man. He's mixed up, I'll give you a day off, follow him quickly, and cooperate with him fully in whatever he wants to do!"

Nie Cai was still pondering the meaning of Wei Jianguo's words when he pushed him out of the door of the large conference room.

"Damn, the old director didn't want me to sacrifice my appearance, right?"

Nie Cai trembled and quickly followed.

Copying the materials was not too troublesome. Nie Cai took Li Wei to the news center and quickly found the materials stored in the computer.

"Okay, the materials are all in there."

Nie Cai pulled out the USB flash drive and gave it back to Li Wei.

"So fast?"

Li Wei glanced at the bracelet-like silver CK watch and said in surprise.

"My materials are all on the mobile hard drive and have been sorted out a long time ago. I just need to copy and paste them."

Nie Cai smiled. He was a programmer and had a paranoid interest in organizing computer files. Let alone files, even if there was a useless file on the desktop, he would feel very unhappy.

"It's still early, and I want to go around S County. The feature film is almost finished, so I just need to shoot some street scenes to use as aerial shots."

Li Wei put on her backpack again and said casually: "I have been in S County for so many days and I haven't had a good stroll yet."

"A small place is not as good as a provincial city. There is no place to go shopping, but you still need to take pictures of street scenes... If you don't bring a camera, use our camera."

Nie Cai nodded. The director of the station, Wei Jianguo, had already asked him to do the accompanying work and help with filming. Of course, he was obliged to do so.

What's more, Li Wei had done him a big favor just now. Without her to come to the rescue, Nie Cai would have been suspended by now.

Taking advantage of Li Wei's favor, Nie Cai asked for a trolley from the office, grabbed a Sony ex1r camera and a tripod and set off.

"Director Li, thanks to you, this car is the director's car. This is the first time I have ridden in this car in such a long time!"

Nie Cai sat in the driver's seat and said jokingly.

After spending a morning together, Nie Cai also discovered that although Li Wei was of high rank, she rarely put on airs and was instead very talkative.

"Stop, I already told you, stop calling me Director, call me Sister Weiwei."

Li Wei stopped him and said with a smile: "To be honest, I don't think of myself as a director. I always feel that I am still the same busy and happy reporter as before."

Nie Cai wanted to ask her why she had become the deputy director at such a young age, but in the end he found the question a bit offensive, so he refrained from asking and instead changed the subject.

"Thank you very much for what happened today. If you hadn't suddenly appeared, I might have been punished," Nie Cai said.

"While there is no one around now, let me tell you something."

Li Wei's face gradually became serious and she said: "I was ready to leave, but I didn't expect that Xie Bin found me last night. He knew that Wang Runfa would deal with you, so he asked me to support you."

"What, he asked you to come?"

Nie Cai stopped the car and leaned on the side of the road, his eyes widened and he was extremely surprised.

What's going on? Even if Xie Bin was a favor to his former self, how could Xie Bin know that Wang Runfa would deal with him today
