Material Empire

Meian City, thousands of miles away from Xingchuan, is the headquarters of the Southern Economic Tribune where Ling Shijie works. In this city, when it comes to the Southern Economic Tribune, it can be said that everyone knows, and everyone knows. The city has a well-developed textile industry and machine manufacturing industry, but what really makes it famous in China is the Southern Economic Guide, which was established less than 20 years ago.

Southern Economic Herald is a professional newspaper about economics that was spun off from the supplement of a major newspaper. media group. The main journal of Nandao and the surrounding media have always been known for their daring to expose crimes. Over the years, they have initiated intensive reports on industries such as telecommunications, civil aviation, and railways. Summon from door to door, and offer valuable advertising orders every year.

The reporters of Nantong are well-known in the industry and are known for their courage to fight against government departments. In the minds of quite a few ordinary people, Nan Dao represents justice and responsibility, and many young people are proud to be Nan Dao's fans. However, some negative comments about Nandao have never stopped. When some colleagues talked about this newspaper, they only praised its business model. As for the iron-shouldered morality they advertised, everyone Just laugh it off.

The editor-in-chief of Nandao, Rong Zhongwei, is only in his 40s this year, but he is already an old journalist with more than 20 years of experience in journalism. Nan Dao’s success today is all due to his philosophy of running a newspaper. He has always declared to his subordinates: only bad news is good news, and the value of news lies in whether it can catch the readers’ attention and watch you The more people you like, the more successful you are. If you can't move people, at least you have to move people first.

This morning, when Rong Zhongwei drove his BMW to the gate of Nandao's group headquarters, he found that the gate was crowded with onlookers, some of whom were quite emotional. However, this did not seem to be what Rong Zhongwei hoped to achieve. Effect. The crowd he said meant that everyone watched his newspaper, not his office. After all, Nan Dao is not a zoo. He poked his head out of the car window and took a look. The people outside the door didn't have any angry expressions, and they shouldn't be here to make trouble, which made Rong Zhongwei feel a little more at ease.

Beep beep, beep beep!

Rong Zhongwei honked the horn and signaled the people around the door to make way for him. A few people gave way to the side knowingly, but more people looked back indifferently, or didn't even bother to turn their heads, and didn't realize that they were blocking the door of others, letting the boss Editors are unable to work.

Mr. Rong, you're here. Tian Yugao, director of group administration, squeezed out of the crowd sweating profusely, ran to Rong Zhongwei's car, and greeted Rong Zhongwei with a bow. He was maintaining order at the door just now, when he heard the familiar sound of car horns, he knew that Zhongwei was blocked outside, so he hurried out to report.

Rong Zhongwei pointed his mouth at the crowd in front of him, and asked displeasedly: What's going on? Are you distributing souvenirs to readers again?

No, these are all here to complain. Tian Yugao replied.

Complaint? Rong Zhongwei was taken aback, Why are there so many people?

As a newspaper famous for exposing gangsters, how could there be no people who came to petition and expose the news. Usually, almost every day, petitioners from all over the country come to Nantong, demanding to find a reporter to redress their grievances. For these petitioners, Nan Dao has always been very welcome, because this is equivalent to free news clues, and every time he helps win a lip service lawsuit, Nan Dao can reap countless merits, making Nan Dao's reputation Another step to a new level.

However, the usual number of petitioners is three or five a day, and even including those who procrastinate, it would be great to reach ten. Today's formation, according to Rong Zhongwei's rough visual inspection, there are at least three to five hundred people, and the voices in the ear are obviously not from the same place. So many people who have nothing to do with each other came to Nan Dao to complain at the same time. No matter how you look at it, there is a kind of evil spirit in this matter.

What are they suing for? Rong Zhongwei asked.

There are all kinds of lawsuits... Tian Yugao said, I just listened casually. Some sued the village chief for beating people, some sued for forced demolition, some sued for failure to pay retirement wages, and some sued for husbands who took mistresses with them. Run away...

Why did these people come at the same time? Rong Zhongwei asked in surprise, Could it be that so many things happened in one day?

The strangest thing is not this... Tian Yugao hesitated to speak.

What is it? Rong Zhongwei asked.

Tian Yu said in a high voice in a low voice: All these people are referring to the same person by name to sue the same person.

Rong Zhongwei was taken aback: Who!

Ling Shijie. Tian Yugao replied.

Ling Shijie? Rong Zhongwei only felt that Monk Zhang Er was confused, and had no idea what was going on in this world.

There are hundreds of journalists in Nandao and its sub-journals. These reporters are divided into different grades due to the difference in time of entry and level. Among all these reporters, Ling Shijie can only be regarded as in the middle position, far from meeting the standard of famous record. If it is said that these people at the door are all here for a certain name, maybe Rong Zhongwei can understand it. Hearing that everyone is actually looking for Ling Shijie, how can Rong Zhongwei figure it out.

Has Ling Shijie done any major election questions recently? Rong Zhongwei asked.

This... I don't know. Tian Yugao said embarrassingly, rubbing his head. He is in administration, and he doesn't know the division of labor in the news department. To him, the name Ling Shijie just means getting an access card , several benefits are issued every month, and a table needs to be arranged when allocating offices. What kind of topic Ling Shijie is choosing, how does he know?

Rong Zhongwei also asked casually, he knew that Tian Yugao couldn't be clear about this matter, and in his own heart, he didn't know anything about what Ling Shijie was doing. From the rule point of view, the topics he didn't know clearly were not considered important topics. Then, what happened to Ling Shijie?

At this time, more and more cars were blocked behind Rong Zhongwei. Nandao is well-known and has many advertisements, so the wages and benefits of employees are extremely high, and many people buy cars. It was time to go to work in the morning, and many employees who came by car were blocked at the door, and those who arrived late even queued up on the road, which directly affected the municipal traffic. A traffic policeman was already walking in this direction, ready to ask what happened here.

Rong Zhongwei drove the car a few steps to the side, turned off the engine, pulled out the key and got out of the car. He declined Tian Yugao's suggestion to take him in, walked straight to a man carrying a canvas bag, and asked aloud, Excuse me, master, what are you doing?

I'm here to complain to the reporter. The man said proudly, his words had some Linxi accent, his clothes and demeanor showed that he was a farmer who rarely traveled far.

Why did you come here to complain? Rong Zhongwei asked again.

Aren't you here to sue? the man asked back.

Rong Zhongwei subconsciously shook his head, thought for a while, nodded again, and said, I have something to complain about, but I don't understand why you have to go to the newspaper office to file a complaint?

That's what you are asking. The man said enthusiastically, Brother, let me tell you, don't spread the word. It is too expensive to go to court now, and you may not win the lawsuit if you file a lawsuit. Have you seen this newspaper, it’s called Southern Economic Guide, and it specializes in helping people with lawsuits, and it’s amazing. No, I came here from my hometown just to file a complaint with their reporter. When I got off the train, I didn’t even have a meal.”

Who made up these jokes, what do you mean by helping people with lawsuits? Rong Zhongwei was annoyed, and it was not convenient to show it on his face. He pretended to be moved by what the man said, and asked, Then if I want to sue, which reporter should I go to?

Of course it's Reporter Ling! The man looked at Rong Zhongwei like a fool, as if he didn't know how embarrassing it was for Reporter Ling. One hundred and one, all of them are looking for Reporter Ling. Didn’t you hear anyone say that Ling Shijie, who is anxious and righteous, is the name of Reporter Ling, don’t laugh, he said it himself.”

Anxious and righteous... Rong Zhongwei was almost overwhelmed with anger. Who is this special meow who is so wretched, dare to add such a title to himself, really think of himself as a hero of Liangshan? The virtues of these journalists in the newspaper office are just pretending in front of others, but in private, everyone doesn't know who they are. Take this Ling Shijie as an example. He likes to take advantage of female reporters when he takes the elevator. Every time he gets off work, he has to take a pile of old newspapers home and sell them for money. How dare you call yourself an urgent public good?

Where did you hear the name of Reporter Ling? How come I've never heard of it? His name, can't it be a fake? Rong Zhongwei continued to ask.

The man said angrily: How can you say that about Reporter Ling? Reporter Ling helps others to file a lawsuit, who doesn't know? No matter how much wronged you have, Reporter Ling will turn it over for you as soon as he comes forward. People don't care about your How much backing does the enemy have, reporter Ling is amazing, even the governor has to give him face!

Hearing what the man said, the people around him also rushed to add:

That's right, that's right, there was a family in our house. They said they would pay 300,000 yuan during the demolition, but he quit. He called reporter Ling, and reporter Ling called the demolition office, and it immediately increased to 2 million yuan. You said God or not?

There is an old lady in our neighboring village. Her son was cheated. Reporter Ling helped him get justice...

We have a transporter...

us……

The more everyone talked, the more lively it became. In front of Rong Zhongwei, Ling Shijie was described as a peerless hero.
