Chapter 224 Demotion

Ding ding ding.

This time, it was the landline that rang. Tian Wenbin was shocked and picked up the landline phone, saying, "Hello, this is Tian Wenbin."

"This is Yin Liangjun. There is a meeting in Conference Room No. 1 this morning. Please come over then."

After Yin Liangjun finished speaking, he hung up the phone with a somewhat cold attitude.

After putting down the landline, Tian Wenbin was still a little unresponsive. He was suddenly notified of a meeting, and it was in Conference Room No. 1. Such a large conference room should not have only two people.

…

Time went back to ten minutes ago.

In the office of Deputy Director Jiang Bo, Deputy Director Jiang was drinking tea and listening to crosstalk, when suddenly the landline phone rang.

Ring ring ring.

Jiang Bo frowned. Normally, his landline phone would not ring. As a deputy director waiting to retire, what else could he be approached about?

Picking up the landline, before he spoke, he heard a familiar voice, "Old Jiang."

Jiang Bo had heard this voice for decades and could not forget it at all. He immediately put down his teacup and straightened up, saying, "Director of the station."

Yin Liangjun said, "I will go to the station in the morning to announce something. Please notify the people above the director level in the station to come to the No. 1 conference room for a meeting. The time will be set at 10:30."

Jiang Bo was stunned. Yin Liangjun is now the director of the branch of the Hedong Provincial Cultural Bureau. Why did he suddenly go to the station for a meeting? And notify so many people?

Moreover, why didn't he go directly to the top leader Tian Wenbin? Or did he go to himself?

Although Jiang Bo's presence in the station has been relatively low in recent years, he has stepped up to the position of deputy director step by step. His mind is still very fast. After a little thought, he knew that something must be wrong, and it was a big thing!

Otherwise, Yin Liangjun would not bypass Tian Wenbin and go directly to him.

"Okay, Director."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Bo stopped drinking his tea and started calling one by one to inform the senior executives in the station to hold a meeting in Conference Room No. 1 at 10:30 a.m.

...

At 10:30, in Conference Room No. 1.

Many people smelled something wrong. Today, it was Deputy Director Jiang, who gradually retreated to the second line, who notified them to hold a meeting.

This is very wrong! You know, Director Tian Wenbin still attaches great importance to power. Such things are usually notified directly to the leaders of various departments by him.

Tian Wenbin came quite early today. When he stepped into the conference room, pairs of eyes looked at him.

Some people who were close to him greeted him in groups of three or two. Tian Wenbin nodded slightly, looked at Yin Liangjun who had already sat in the first seat, and walked over and said, "Director, what is this?"

Tian Wenbin had a questioning look on his face, but Yin Liangjun waved his hand and asked Tian Wenbin to sit down first and wait for him to speak.

Tian Wenbin nodded absentmindedly. For some reason, he felt a sense of panic, and the way he looked at Yin Liangjun was very wrong.

Although he was tossing and turning in his heart, Tian Wenbin still took a deep breath to calm himself down. He never showed any fear on his face, just waiting for what Yin Liangjun would say in this meeting.

Yin Liangjun frowned slightly and sat at the head of the conference table. There was a hint of unswerving expression on his face, which frightened several staff members who arrived later. Yin Liangjun has been the head of the provincial station for many years, and most of the people present are his old subordinates, who know Yin Liangjun's temper well.

Yin Liangjun looked at the time and swept his eyes over the crowd. Everyone was already there. He coughed lightly and said, "I called everyone here because I have something to inform you. I was transferred from the station to the Hedong Branch of the General Administration of Culture too hastily. I couldn't find a suitable person to preside over the work of the station for a while, so I asked Deputy Director Tian to take over the affairs for a while."

Many people were shocked when they heard this, and they looked at Tian Wenbin with eyes that were either open or hidden.

During this period of time, no one has called Deputy Director Tian. This time Yin Liangjun suddenly said this, which is very interesting.

Similarly, Tian Wenbin's expression of pretending to be indifferent could not be maintained. His face darkened a lot in an instant, but he didn't speak, but waited for Yin Liangjun's next words.

Yin Liangjun continued calmly: "The General Administration has decided on the candidate for the new director, and he will come from Beijing tomorrow. Everyone should be prepared to welcome the new director."

Before Yin Liangjun finished speaking, there were gasps in the conference room from time to time.

Airborne Director!

At this moment, the eyes of the crowd looking at Tian Wenbin were no longer full of awe as usual, but some sympathy and pity.

In the history of Hedong Provincial TV Station, there has been no such precedent. Not only did the word "acting" of the "acting" director not appear, but he was demoted from director to deputy director.

At this moment, Tian Wenbin was really miserable. Although he took a step back from director to deputy director, if there were no special circumstances in his future career, it would basically be the end.

Let me ask, which big leader would use such a person who was demoted from director to deputy director?

Yao Chong, director of the program department, watched Tian Wenbin's experience coldly. When he wanted to insert Lin Qifeng into "Tucao Conference" as the host, Yao Chong was opposed to it. It was just that Tian Wenbin had just become the director at that time and was in high spirits, so he didn't consider Yao Chong's opinion at all.

Yao Chong looked at Tian Wenbin, who was a little wooden, and retracted his gaze and sighed.

Tian Wenbin would never have imagined that a little guy like Tan Yue could cause him to fall into such a big setback.

Yin Liangjun stood up and walked out of the conference room. After two steps, he turned around and came to Tian Wenbin. He sighed softly, patted Tian Wenbin on the shoulder, and finally left without saying anything.

He was very optimistic about Tian Wenbin, otherwise he would not have proposed that Tian Wenbin take over as the director of the provincial station. But now, Tian Wenbin has disappointed him.

Disappointing him is one thing. In Yin Liangjun's memory, there has been no example of a major TV station in the country falling from a full-time position to a deputy position. Maybe he doesn't know about it, but this also proves the current situation of future development being blocked.

It can be said that Tian Wenbin's future road will be difficult.

Yin Liangjun turned around and left with a gloomy face. Tian Wenbin's dereliction of duty also greatly weakened his control over the provincial station in the future. The new director was airdropped from the General Administration, and he still needs to slowly run in in the future.

After Yin Liangjun left, the conference room suddenly became lively.

A pair of eyes swept over the deputy director Tian who had just retired from the acting director.

Tsk tsk tsk, it's still easy for Deputy Director Tian to call it.

As the crowd dispersed, the news about Tian Wenbin's transfer from the main position to the deputy position began to spread rapidly in the station.

…

Hedong Provincial TV Station was like a hurricane passing through the land, and the heated discussions among the crowd were getting higher and higher.

"Is it true? Director - no, Deputy Director Tian really came down?"

"Just after the meeting, Director Yin personally announced the news, and now it has spread all over the station."

"Tsk tsk tsk, why? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing."

"Do I need to think about it? Deputy Director Tian... has not made many mistakes since he took office. The most serious one is "Tucao Conference". A good trump card program ranked first in the country was ruined by Lin Qifeng who was planted by Deputy Director Tian. Can the leaders above not hold him accountable?"

"Yeah, this is terrible. Not only did the word "acting" not get removed, but he was demoted from director to deputy director..."

"Tucao Conference" program team.

Zheng Guangchu was shocked when he heard the news. This was definitely a big deal.

He quickly put down his work, opened the Three Musketeers chat group, and directly tagged Tan Yue and Xu Nuo, and quickly talked about Tian Wenbin's demotion from director to deputy director.

Putting down his phone, Zheng Guang quickly picked up the tea cup on the table and went to the tea room.

He went to take a look and listen. Hmm, it was lively.

Not far from Zheng Guang's position, Lin Qifeng's face was a little pale.

Tian Wenbin was his backer. Although the backer has not fallen yet, it is shorter.

Lin Qifeng glanced around and always felt that many people were looking at him with mocking eyes.

During this period, even though Tian Wenbin's attitude towards him was not as good as before, he was also a little dissatisfied with Tian Wenbin, but generally speaking, he still hoped that Tian Wenbin would develop well. After all, with Tian Yuan between the two, Lin Qifeng was not afraid that Tian Wenbin would not help him in the future.

What makes Lin Qifeng even more frightened is that the reason why "Tucao Conference" collapsed is because Tan Yue left, and the reason why Tan Yue left is because Tian Wenbin inserted him into "Tucao Conference" and angered Tan Yue.

Now that a big man like Tian Wenbin has ended up like this, how will he, a small host, be dealt with? You know, there are a lot of rumors in the station. In the past, Tian Wenbin was protecting him, and Lin Qifeng didn't care about these rumors, but the director is going to be replaced, and the new director will not be polite to him.

"Brother Feng."

Suddenly, Lin Qifeng heard a voice, turned his head and looked over, and Tian Yuan walked over here with a lunch box.

Lin Qifeng looked a little strange. He stood up and looked at Tian Yuan who was approaching and said, "Why are you here?"

Tian Yuan smiled and shook the lunch box in his hand, saying, "I'm here to bring you food."

As he said that, Tian Yuan put the lunch box on Lin Qifeng's desk, with some confusion on his face, and said, "Brother Feng, why do I feel that the people in the station are a little weird today?"

Since Tian Wenbin became the acting director, Tian Yuan's frequency of visiting the provincial station has greatly increased. Every time she comes, a large group of people will take the initiative to greet her. But this time, there are fewer people who greet her, and the way they look at her has changed a lot.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Tian Yuan feels a sense of gloating?

"Yuanyuan."

Lin Qifeng frowned, his voice was a little heavy.

Tian Yuan said, "What's wrong? Brother Feng."

Lin Qifeng looked at Tian Yuan, sighed heavily, and said, "Your father is not the director anymore. He will be the deputy director of the station in the future. The director will be airdropped from Beijing tomorrow."

Tian Yuan was stunned when she heard this, and stared at Lin Qifeng. She was not a fool. She naturally knew that the reason why the TV station was so polite to her and invited her to many dinners was because her father had made further progress in his career and became the top leader of the provincial station.

This kind of treatment was something Tian Yuan could not enjoy before. If she were to go back to the past, she would find it difficult to accept it.

"Brother Feng, are you kidding me?" Tian Yuan's smile disappeared, and he just looked straight at Lin Qifeng.

Lin Qifeng frowned and nodded, "I'm not lying to you. Everyone in the station is talking about it now."

Bang!

Tian Yuan didn't hold it firmly, and the half-opened lunch box slipped from her hand, and the gravy and vegetable soup on this layer all spilled.

Lin Qifeng exclaimed, looking at the mess on his desk. He was about to scold Tian Yuan, but he saw that Tian Yuan had already left quickly.

"Yuan Yuan, where are you going?" Lin Qifeng shouted.

Tian Yuan did not respond, but walked quickly towards the elevator.

Lin Qifeng hesitated for a moment, and decided to clean up his desk before chasing Tian Yuan.

On the other side, Tian Yuan took the elevator directly to the floor where the station leader was located, found his father Tian Wenbin's office, and walked in without knocking.

This most spacious office of the Hedong Provincial TV Station was now empty, and the document rack had been emptied.

Tian Yuan reached out and grabbed a staff member passing by in the corridor, and asked, "Where is my dad?"

The staff member was suddenly grabbed, frowned, and pulled his arm out of Tian Yuan's hand, saying, "The new director will arrive tomorrow, and Deputy Director Tian has vacated the office for the new director. You can go to Deputy Director Tian's former office to find him."

After that, the staff member left quickly.

Tian Yuan's eyes suddenly became wet, and his heart was sour, feeling wronged and sad.

He quickly came to Tian Wenbin's former office and heard a voice inside. Tian Yuan took a deep breath and knocked on the door. When he heard his father's voice inside asking him to come in, Tian Yuan pushed the door and walked in.

In the office, Tian Wenbin was sitting behind his desk, leaning over the table to review documents.

Tian Yuan looked at his father who was bent over like this, and felt that he seemed to have aged a lot, with a lot more white hair on his temples than before.

"Dad." Tian Yuan shouted.

Tian Wenbin heard the voice, looked up at Tian Yuan, and said in surprise: "Yuanyuan, you are here."

Tian Yuan sniffed and looked at the office. He was used to the big office in the past few times, and this one was much worse. Tian Yuan pouted and said: "Dad, why did you move back?"

Tian Wenbin was stunned for a moment, and smiled: "It's okay, didn't Dad take over the position of director for a few days before? Now that the temporary period is up, I moved back."

Tian Yuan wanted to ask more, but was interrupted by Tian Wenbin.

Tian Wenbin said: "Yuanyuan, you go back first, I still have work to deal with here."

Tian Yuan stamped his feet, looked at his father who had lowered his head to continue working, and had to turn around and leave.

After leaving the office, Tian Yuan came to the tea room, took a glass of water and sat in the booth to rest for a while. He also wanted to go to his father to ask for clarification later.

At this time, three staff members were talking in a low voice in the booth behind him.

"It's really miserable. Deputy Director Tian is probably going to work in this position until retirement."

"It's quite pitiful, but there must be something hateful about pitiful people. If he hadn't insisted on inserting Lin Qifeng into "Tucao Conference", Teacher Tan wouldn't have left. If Teacher Tan hadn't left, "Tucao Conference" wouldn't have collapsed, and he wouldn't have been removed from his post."

"Deputy Director Tian doesn't seem to be such a confused person. He hasn't been promoted yet, so why did he do nepotism? Everyone in the station doesn't know about Lin Qifeng and his daughter."

"It can't be said to be a pity, it should be said that it's what he deserves. Teacher Tan is my idol. If it weren't for Deputy Director Tian's oppression, I could still see Teacher Tan every day."

"..."

Tian Yuan was stunned when he heard everyone's whispers.

Did he... harm his father?

...

Beijing, Tan Yue's home

Tan Yue also learned from Zheng Guang about the major changes that had taken place at the Hedong Provincial TV Station.

However, he had now left the Hedong Provincial TV Station, so he could only sigh about these things.
