1980 My literary era

Kunlun Hotel is a property of the public security system. Haiyan has been in charge of this place at a young age and has made friends with all the prominent figures in the system.

That afternoon, Lin Weimin called and said he wanted to treat him to dinner. Haiyan immediately realized that Teacher Lin must have something to talk to him about.

He quickly asked his subordinates to arrange a quiet private room, selected the dishes and drinks, and waited for Lin Weimin's arrival.

After working at the Kunlun Hotel for many years, he was already familiar with these things and had them engraved in his bones.

At around six o'clock in the evening, Lin Weimin's Mercedes-Benz was parked downstairs at the Kunlun Hotel.

Seeing Lin Weimin, Haiyan smiled enthusiastically, "Teacher Lin, you are here!"

Lin Weimin smiled and said: "I invited you to dinner, why are you waiting here first?"

"It's my job to welcome people and send them off! I'll find a private room, it's very quiet, and we'll chat while we eat."

Haiyan took Lin Weimin to the private room. The waiter who was already waiting at the door saw the manager coming with someone and immediately prepared to serve the food.

When the food and wine were on the table, Haiyan went to close the door of the private room.

"I haven't had dinner with you for a long time."

"Yes, everyone is busy now, so we only get to see each other at the end of the year."

The two of them took a few bites of food first and chatted casually.

In the eight years they had known each other, Haiyan and Lin Weimin had only a handful of times to eat alone. Basically, they all ate together.

When the topic was almost finished, Lin Weimin took out a newspaper from his bag.

Haiyan immediately knew that the drama was coming. He took the newspaper and heard Lin Weimin say: "You must have read the report from Nandu Weekend a while ago, right?"

Haiyan nodded, "I saw it. That's not what you said, right?"

Haiyan knew Lin Weimin's character very well. It was a bit exaggerated to say that a gentleman is as good as jade, but it was certainly not an exaggeration to say that he was kind to others and open-minded.

So he absolutely did not believe that Lin Weimin would say such arrogant words.

Lin Weimin sighed, "I was originally interviewed by a group of media when I returned to China. A reporter asked me about the Nobel Prize in Literature. The reporter from Nandu Weekend changed a few words of my words, and the meaning completely changed. ”

Haiyan writes by himself. Even if he changes a few words, the meaning of a paragraph may be completely reversed.

"This reporter is really nothing!"

"With the market economy, many newspapers have to look at money. It's okay for them to come up with sensational headlines, but it's too much to make up myths to attract people's attention."

Haiyan recognized this sentence in his heart. In recent years, the country's economy has developed greatly, the domestic environment has changed far more than before, and the media is also constantly changing.

Lin Weimin nodded to the contents of the newspaper, "Please read the report in this issue of the newspaper first."

Haiyan followed his instructions and lowered his head to look carefully.

There is a column in "Nandu Weekend" called "People and Law." The title of the article published in this special issue is called "The Case of Attacking J." It is a long article that takes up nearly a full page.

The full text talks about an "extremely bad, shocking and thought-provoking" attack that occurred in City B at the junction of three provinces.

After reading the article, Haiyan's face turned gloomy. He was working in the public security system, and he never expected that such a shocking case would happen below.

"Tell me what you think?" Lin Weimin asked.

"It's so heartbreaking that people and gods are outraged. Such criminals must be punished by law."

Compared to Haiyan's anger, Lin Weimin's expression remained calm. He said calmly: "What if I told you that this article is completely fabricated?"

"Making it up... fabricated it?" Haiyan's tongue was tied in surprise, and then he said: "Teacher Lin, you really know how to joke, who dares to joke about this kind of thing? "Nandu Weekend" is also a major newspaper after all, they don't like this kind of news It will definitely be verified.”

"Didn't they verify my report?" Lin Weimin asked back.

Haiyan opened his mouth. What he wanted to say was that your matter was not of the same nature as this one.

Lin Weimin had a faint smile on his face. Of course he could guess Haiyan's thoughts.

"Whether it's true or not, won't we know it once we try it?"

"How to try?"

Lin Weimin pointed at the newspaper with his finger. "Although the names of places and people are vague, since it is written based on real events, the editorial department must know the inside story. When you work in the public security system, you should have access to high-power leaders." Bar?"

Haiyan immediately understood what he meant, "You mean to pass this report to the leader who can intervene in this matter?"

"That's right. How about it? Is it difficult to help you?"

Haiyan was very aware of the weight of the report in his hand. If it were presented to the leaders of the ministry, he could be 100% sure that this article would definitely arouse the anger of the leaders.

The public security is a law enforcement agency. In wartime, the army is the backbone of the country. In peacetime, the public security is the largest armed and law enforcement force in a country.

Now there are criminals who dare to openly challenge authority. This is tantamount to throwing the face of their public security system to the ground and trampling on it.

According to the habits in their system, this kind of case must be set as an example and dealt with strictly. When the time comes, they must find the editorial department of "Nandu Weekend" to verify the situation first, and then intervene in the case.

As his thoughts changed, Haiyan said without hesitation, "No problem, your business is my business."

Haiyan's ability to jump from the prison system to the Kunlun Hotel is inseparable from his pen. If Teacher Lin hadn't picked him up from the door of the Chinese Literature Society, he might still be squatting in prison now!

What's more, the favor that Teacher Lin wanted him to do was really nothing.

He works at the Kunlun Hotel and comes into contact with countless provincial B-level and department J-level cadres on a daily basis. He has even received higher-level cadres several times, and he happens to have a few familiar leaders.

If he was asking for a personal request, the leader might not be willing to sell it out, but now this incident has challenged the majesty of the public security system.

If he really submits this report, he might be able to establish a positive image in front of the leadership of someone who hates evil and regards the honor and disgrace of the unit as personal honor and disgrace, and will be appreciated by the leadership.

But then, Haiyan thought about it again and felt that it was inappropriate. He should truthfully explain the situation to his leader.

Teacher Lin asked him for help just to clean up "Nandu Weekend". If the leader didn't know the inside story, Teacher Lin would be unable to operate.

Talking through the leader to be a gun, this is where he needs to sell his favor.

Mastering human relations is a science!

A few days later, Lin Weimin received a call from Haiyan, "Teacher Lin, it's done!"

"This time I accept your favor."

"Teacher Lin, you are too polite. Your business is my business." Haiyan repeated those words.

Two days later, in the editorial department of "Southern Capital Weekend", in the editor-in-chief's office.

Editor-in-chief Zuo Fang, social committee member Li Mengyu, and deputy editor-in-chief You Yanling gathered together with sad faces.

"Think about it, how should I reply to them?" After being silent for a long time, the social committee member Li Mengyu spoke first.

Zuo Fang opened his mouth to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything. At the same time, he hated Yu Yang who wrote "The Case of Attacking J".

At this time, You Yanling said: "Now, it is definitely impossible to hide the matter. This matter itself is also the author's fault. He used the characteristics of reportage to blur the processing of place names and people's names, deceiving our editorial department. We Also belongs to the victims.”

Li Mengyu glared at You Yanling fiercely, "Do you think anyone believes what you say? We don't have censorship responsibilities?"

You Yanling broke the pot and said: "Then what do you think we should do? We can't tell others that we acquiesced in this matter, right? There was no in-depth investigation at all."

Li Mengyu's chest felt tight due to the attack, and his eyes turned to the left, full of dissatisfaction.

The "Assault on J Case" was published by Zuo Fang, and with his indication and acquiescence, "Nandu Weekend" did not conduct strict investigation and verification of the content of the article.

The so-called "J attack case" was actually just fabricated by the author Liu Yushun out of thin air and did not exist at all.

Li Mengyu had only known that some of the contents in the newspaper had been compromised in terms of verification, but he never expected that such a serious article was completely fabricated out of thin air.

This is simply making fun of the reputation of the newspaper and trampling on the dignity of journalism.

Feeling the eyes from the two colleagues, Zuo Fang's heart was also full of pressure, not only pressure, but also regret.

If I had known this earlier, I should not have published the "Assault on J Case" article.

Well now, that report actually attracted the attention of a leader of the Ministry of Public Security, who sent someone to call to verify the situation.

If the situation is true, the Ministry of Public Security is prepared to use this case as a model.

If we tell the other party now that the contents of this report are all false, I am afraid that "Nantou Weekend" will be greeted by a storm.

Alas, it can only be said to be bad luck!

Zuo Sheng sighed heavily, "In this matter, I have neglected my duties. It's better for me to speak up. I will bear the consequences."

Li Mengyu was so angry at his words, "Are you going to bear the responsibility? What are you going to bear?"

At "Nandu Weekend", the editor-in-chief Zuo Fang is only responsible for the content, and the specific person in charge of the work is the social committee member Li Mengyu.

Zuo Fang's expression darkened when he heard this, "Old leader, I'm sorry for you!"

He also understood that if something like this happened, and if it was brought to the top, the first person to be dealt with would not be him, but Li Mengyu, the social committee member.

Of course, he, the editor-in-chief, as the person directly responsible, will definitely not be able to escape, and the editor in charge will also be dealt with.

As for Liu Yushun, the instigator of fabricating fake news, there is no way to get better. Although it is difficult to punish him legally, as long as "Southern Weekend" releases the news, no one in the entire domestic press will dare to use his articles.

This person is digging his own grave this time.

Li Mengyu was certainly angry, but now that things had happened, they were still waiting for a verification reply from "Nandu Weekend".

He stood up decisively and said, "Let me talk about this. We have to prepare for the worst."

As soon as these words came out, Zuo Fang and You Yanling looked sad.

Li Mengyu walked to the door and suddenly turned around and asked Zuo Fang, "How many cases like this are there in previous reports?"

When Zuo Fang heard this, his eyes flickered and he was silent for a few seconds, "There should still be some."

Anger flashed across Li Mengyu's face, but eventually turned into a sigh.

"If you often walk by the river, your shoes will never get wet!"

After Li Mengyu left the office, You Yanling also left. Zuo Fang sat slumped on the sofa, with Li Mengyu's words before leaving echoing in his mind.

For some reason, he thought of the phone call from Yanjing he received some time ago, and instinctively became suspicious.
