102: Chapter 102 Newspaper Leadership

Sure enough, as the host, Village Party Secretary Tian Lei returned after seeing off the guests.

It wasn't a holiday, so there weren't that many people gambling.

The Police Station wouldn't specifically come to their remote village to catch gamblers.

Besides, looking at the expressions of those family members, it didn't seem like they had reported it for the sake of righteousness.

The most likely scenario was that Sun Ning found out who had instigated the gambling in Mingyue Village and called the Police Station to crack down on it.

He never doubted Sun Ning's prestige in Mingyue Village.

Not to mention the others, Vice President Wang Jing was deeply grateful to Sun Ning.

Let alone that stubborn old man Tian in the village.

There were at least ten other households in Mingyue Village like Tian Xiujun and Vice President Wang Jing who were loyal fans of Sun Ning.

Therefore, it was very easy for Sun Ning to understand the ins and outs of the matter.

However, Sun Ning was not that kind of narrow-minded leader.

Then there was only one explanation for him asking the Police Station to catch the gamblers: he probably expected leaders to come down and was worried these people would cause trouble!

Actually, Village Party Secretary Tian Lei's guess was mostly correct.

Sun Ning had been in his full section-level position for almost a year, and it was time for his position as Township Head to be adjusted.

According to his plan, it was one year as Township Head, one year as Party Secretary.

After two full years, it would be logical to take another step forward.

Coincidentally, a few days ago, Secretary Li Chengping, who was already the top secretary of the County Party Committee, told Sun Ning over the phone that the leadership intended to adjust personnel.

As the saying goes, even good wine fears a deep alley.

He prepared to find reporters to come and help promote Mingyue Village so that the leaders would also know about the achievements of Mingyue Village.

However, Sun Ning could guarantee that it was absolutely not just because reporters were coming to interview.

He was also thinking of the masses.

The harm of gambling was too great.

To some extent, if you let someone addicted to drugs have a fortune, they might use it until they die, but if you let them gamble, they might lose it all in one night.

Of course, that was only to some extent.

Drugs were still the most harmful.

Plus, in his later life, one of his uncles had caused his family to break apart because of gambling.

Therefore, he was also taking the opportunity to educate those hooligans, striving to make them turn over a new leaf.

Because in his previous life, there was a hooligan in the village who was very dissolute, but after being taken away by his uncle once, he became very honest afterwards.

Of course, he was still as lazy as ever, just not as wasteful!

"Township Head, do you have any other instructions?"

After Village Party Secretary Tian Lei returned, he asked Sun Ning for instructions, rather than directly asking if leaders were coming down.

This guy had become a bit more slick now; it seemed that the environment could really change a person.

"Settle this matter as soon as possible, and also, maintain the village's sanitation."

Sun Ning didn't need to do any bureaucratic posturing in other directions.

Not everything is good only when it is perfect.

Sometimes, having flaws is what makes it real.

His visit this time also meant to pave the way.

After giving instructions, Sun Ning left Mingyue Village.

On the way, he called Zhao Xue.

This time, he wasn't aiming for the Zhongzhou City newspaper; he was aiming for the Provincial Newspaper.

So, having Zhao Xue arrange for people was the best option.

As soon as Zhao Xue heard Sun Ning's proactive summons, her fighting spirit instantly filled her whole body.

She directly stated that they would meet in Zhongzhou City this weekend.

On Friday, as soon as he got off work, Sun Ning drove to Zhongzhou City.

Zhao Xue had already scheduled a meeting time with Deputy Editor-in-Chief Wang Guanghui of the Heyang Daily.

Honestly, whenever encountering such things, Zhao Xue could always accurately find the vital point.

With the deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper group, getting into a Daily Newspaper was a piece of cake.

It was just getting into a newspaper, and it was positive publicity that aligned with the superiors' intentions, so there was no need to trouble the president.

You have to know that the president is concurrently held by the deputy minister of the Propaganda Department.

Letting it go to the local level meant dealing with a major institution, so one shouldn't owe such a big favor.

A Hunan restaurant on Agriculture Road, Jinshui District, Zhongzhou City.

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Wang Guanghui's hometown was there, so he was quite fond of this taste.

And this Hunan restaurant happened to be near the newspaper office.

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Wang Guanghui was of medium height, with a somewhat rugged face, and the hair in the middle had already retired early.

How should I put it?

Just looking at his face, he didn't look like someone who worked with words at all.

"Sorry, I'm late. I'll punish myself with three drinks later!"

Friday was a workday, and Sun Ning had calculated his time to leave work early, but he didn't expect to be the last one to arrive.

What he didn't know was that Deputy Editor-in-Chief Wang Guanghui dared not be negligent when he heard Zhao Xue's invitation, and he arrived earlier than Zhao Xue, the host.

In the media system, who wouldn't know the reputation of Miss Zhao if they had the qualifications to enter the capital?

Who wouldn't want to pay a visit to Miss Zhao when going to the capital?

This time, Zhao Xue's invitation made Deputy Editor-in-Chief Wang Guanghui feel flattered.

Not to mention whether it could help him get promoted, just the prospect of handling affairs in the capital made Deputy Editor-in-Chief Wang Guanghui willing to lower himself to make friends.

Since Zhao Xue organized the gathering, she naturally took on the work of making introductions.

"Sun Ning, this is Deputy Editor-in-Chief Wang Guanghui of our Heyang Daily, this is Deputy Director Wang Feng of the Editor-in-Chief's Office, and this is Reporter Liu Peng, a famous reporter in Heyang."

Sun Ning also passed out cigarettes one by one and greeted them.

Because of Zhao Xue's invitation, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Wang Guanghui brought along both the reviewers and the people who would do the actual work.

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Wang Guanghui was also meticulous, having arranged everything in every aspect.

"Leaders, this is Sun Ning, my good friend."

Zhao Xue didn't introduce Sun Ning too much; perhaps in her mind, it wasn't necessary.

Once Sun Ning arrived, Zhao Xue very sensibly gave up the host's position to him.

In Heyang, it was common to serve a few cold dishes first for drinking.

Those with a low tolerance for alcohol wouldn't last until the hot dishes.

However, the people here were all veterans of the battlefield; how could they be defeated by these eight cold dishes?

After rounds of toasts, the hosts and guests were all very happy.

During this time, Sun Ning briefly told them about the situation in Mishui Township.

He talked about the awareness of a service-oriented government in Mishui Township during the recent commercial street investment promotion, and the development of characteristic tourism in Mingyue Village.

Sun Ning even mentioned the matter of party members and cadres in Mingyue Village taking the lead in providing assistance.

Everyone present was an old hand at writing material; Sun Ning's simple analysis was enough.

The core of this article was there.

The types of articles that could get into the newspaper were just those few, and what Sun Ning said about Mishui Township was even more excellent.

The concept of a service-oriented government had just been proposed, and Mishui Township was already semi-mature.

Not only was the economy well-managed, but the party-building work was also very prominent.

After Sun Ning finished speaking, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Wang Guanghui was so happy!

He hurriedly patted his chest and used the word "Okay" to indicate that it would definitely be done.

It was no wonder Deputy Editor-in-Chief Wang Guanghui was happy.

Sun Ning wanted to promote it in the Provincial Newspaper, and he understood that.

Young people, especially someone suspected of being a prince consort, which of them was the type to work steadily?

But if you want to promote, you have to have achievements to brag about.

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Wang Guanghui was afraid of someone like Sun Ning, who had no achievements but still wanted the Provincial Newspaper to force a promotion.

Because of Zhao Xue's involvement, he was prepared to be criticized.

He never expected that the person in front of him, suspected of being a prince consort, really had achievements.

And they were dazzling achievements at that.

Even their Provincial Newspaper wanted to scramble to report such achievements.

Nothing else!

What Sun Ning did was too in line with current trends and core values.

Such achievements that aligned with the superiors' intentions, once written into an article, would also be their political achievements.

Therefore, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Wang Guanghui didn't hold back and patted his chest to guarantee a front-page headline.
