Chapter 264 Investigation
Back to the previous afternoon, after receiving a hint from Jiang Ningyue, Qiao Jin contacted his colleagues in the department and conducted a surprise interrogation regarding the leak of secrets during the "Questioning Haizhou" program.
As a member of the "Questioning Haizhou" supervisory team, Qiao Jin focuses on investigating such matters, so naturally there is no problem.
Based on the simple idea of "I would rather die than let my friend die", both Mayor Hou and Mayor Xia explained the whole story in a clear and concise manner.
It turned out that Jia Feng, the office director of the TV station, had been seeking to leave the station. As a public institution, it was common for TV stations to be transferred to administrative units, even to prefecture-level cities, districts, or counties, to serve as standing committee members or propaganda department heads.
As a reporter and director of the news center, he has maintained very good relations with governments at all levels.
As the office director, Jia Feng's next step up is to deputy director, but for a deputy director to take the next step up, it would be extremely difficult.
The position of editor-in-chief requires outstanding achievements as a reporter or editor, with a national journalism award being the minimum requirement. Station director is even more unattainable; becoming the head of a provincial television station requires the right timing, location, and people.
Rather than wasting your life in TV station, it is better to leave early.
Therefore, Jia Feng had been flirting with various prefecture-level cities, and finally, taking advantage of the popularity of "Questioning Haizhou", he contacted the Baihe Municipal Government. It was precisely because of this leak that the Baihe Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government agreed to recommend Jia Feng as a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee and Minister of the Propaganda Department.
However, things are unpredictable. Before Jia Feng could write the recommendation letter, Xia Baohua was brought down.
Xia Baohua and Mayor Hou confessed that in order to become a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Minister of the Propaganda Department, Jia Feng gave them at least 3 million yuan in cash, and countless other drinks and gifts.
Can the office director of a TV station come up with 3 million just from salary?
Obviously not.
In the afternoon, in Jia Feng's office at the TV station, he rubbed his temples and said to his confidants, "I never thought Mayor Xia and Mayor Hou would be defeated so easily. It's unimaginable!"
Wang Ping, a close confidant, sighed, "Director, what should we do next?"
Jia Feng sighed, "I have a good personal relationship with Mayor Wang of Xisui City. I'll talk to him and see if there's any opportunity there."
At this moment, the office door opened and two men in suits walked in.
This way of entering without knocking immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Jia Feng and Wang Ping. The uninvited guest glanced around and looked at Jia Feng, "Are you Jia Feng?"
Wang Ping stood up and shouted angrily, "Who are you?!"
The leading man took out his work ID and said calmly, "We are from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."
"oh."
Wang Ping's face changed, he immediately shut up and sat down obediently.
The two looked at Jia Feng, "Director Jia, please come with us."
Jia Feng's face turned pale with fear. He held onto the table and said in a trembling voice, "You're just going to arrest people like that? Have you communicated with our Director Liu?"
The man smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have all the necessary formalities and everything is legal and compliant."
Jia Feng tried to make a last-ditch effort, "Wait a minute, I'll make a phone call."
As he was about to pick up his phone, the leading man immediately held his hand and said solemnly, "Jia Feng! Our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection solemnly informs you to answer questions at the designated time and place! Follow us!"
Wang Ping was silent as a cicada, not daring to say a word. With a pale face, he watched the two men carrying Jia Feng away.
——
Back to the present, Jiang Ningyue couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions after hearing this. She thought back to when she had just come to the TV station and Jia Feng, the then office director, called her because she reported on the food delivery platform. Jiang Ningyue felt at a loss when she received the call. If Tian Jun hadn't been in the car, Jiang Ningyue might have been really scared.
"Did Jia Feng admit this?"
"certainly."
Qiao Jin smiled and said, "Not only did he confess, but he confessed very readily. At the same time, he also revealed all the dirty work going on inside the TV station. As the office director, he knows a lot."
Jiang Ningyue nodded without comment.
Every place has its dark corners, its shady areas, and television stations are no exception. In fact, just to get on the show, to compete for fame and fortune, everyone will work even harder.
Reporters are divided by power and region, editors are even more hostile to each other, and even more so among hosts.
As for the rest, Jiang Ningyue had heard a lot of dirty things that were caused by people trying to get promoted, attract investment, or even simply because they were lonely or had fallen in love with someone. She was too lazy to even listen.
Seeing that Jiang Ningyue didn't understand what he meant, Qiao Jin spoke again, "Xiaoyue, I am now fully responsible for the TV station's affairs. Tell me, should we stop here or continue investigating?"
Jiang Ningyue pondered for a moment, "Is there anything particularly serious, or even endangering national interests?"
Qiao Jin smiled and shook his head, "Of course not. If there were, then this kind of thing is definitely not something we can decide."
Although Jiang Ningyue had spent far less time at the TV station than in Zhaoyang County, she still had a deep affection for the TV station. Therefore, she did not want to cause chaos in the entire TV station just because of Jia Feng.
"After all, we're working with the TV station, and we're overseeing the 'Questioning Haizhou' program. It's impossible for us to just start a 'big purge' right after joining the TV station, right? We still have to cooperate in the future, so let it go."
"good."
After listening to this, Qiao Jin nodded. Most of the problems here were vague and investigative would not only not solve the problem, but would also waste time and offend people. Whether to investigate or not depended entirely on the leader's words.
"Then this matter ends here."
Although Jiang Ningyue and Qiao Jin had decided on this matter, the people inside the TV station were still unaware of it. After Jia Feng was arrested, people inside the TV station were in a panic.
Many middle and senior leaders asked around, asking what Jia Feng had revealed, but no one knew.
Nian Sisi suddenly became a hot commodity within the station, and many people tried to get close to her, hoping she would ask Jiang Ningyue what had happened. Should the Discipline Inspection Commission simply arrest Jia Feng, or should they conduct a thorough investigation within the station?
Liu Tai also communicated with the Discipline Inspection Commission several times. As the head of the TV station, the arrest of his office director was not a good sign. However, the Discipline Inspection Commission seemed reluctant to disclose the news, which made Liu Tai feel very uneasy.
At this moment, Qiao Jin took the initiative to find Liu Tai.
Qiao Jin walked into Liu Tai's office with a stack of documents in her hand. "Liu Tai, I'm Qiao Jin from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."
"Team Leader Qiao." Liu Tai was a little flustered for no reason. "Please take a seat. What can I do for you?"
