Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 188: Surprise for Yang Qiyue: Revitalize the Newspaper Company

For half a month, Su Zhengyang stayed in the Governor's Mansion to handle government affairs, leaving early and returning late.

Whenever he had free time, he would accompany Yang Jiakai to inspect the entire Linzhou government system and major government departments. Yang Jiakai benefited a lot from the advanced management concepts of Linzhou's government system. He secretly made up his mind that after returning to Beilong City, he would start to reform the government system of the Beijing central government.

After Yang Qiyue resigned from her position as editor-in-chief of Dahua Daily and followed Su Zhengyang back to Linzhou, she settled down in the Governor's Mansion and took care of Su Zhengyang's daily life.

Su Zhengyang keenly realized that although Yang Qiyue did not say it explicitly, and seemed to be immersed in happiness every day, this kind of life was actually not what Yang Qiyue wanted.

That day, Su Zhengyang made a special trip back home to pick up Yang Qiyue.

"Qiyue, I have prepared a surprise for you today. Come with me to see it. I will definitely not let you down."

Looking at the warm smile on Su Zhengyang's face, Yang Qiyue smiled gently and said, "You are being so mysterious. What's the surprise? Can't you just tell me directly?"

"Come with me and you will know."

Su Zhengyang took Yang Qiyue to his bulletproof officer command car and said to Li Yunlong, who was driving in the passenger seat, "Drive to Dongxing Road."

Half an hour later, the car stopped in the middle of Dongxing Road in Yong'an City, which is a very prosperous main street running across the north and south of Yong'an City.

Located in the middle section of Dongxing Road, this place is bustling with traffic, people, tall buildings and is extremely prosperous.

The headquarters of most of the powerful chambers of commerce and non-governmental organizations in Linzhou are located here. There is a three-story western-style building on the roadside that is particularly eye-catching.

With carved beams and painted buildings, red bricks and green tiles, it is luxurious yet culturally rich. Looking at this small building, one is overwhelmed by the weight of history.

On the plaque at the gate are written four big characters: Zhenxing Newspaper.

Su Zhengyang pulled Yang Qiyue out of the car, pointed at the Zhenxing Newspaper in front of him, and said with a smile: "This is the surprise I prepared for you, do you like it?"

Yang Qiyue was slightly startled, and looked at Su Zhengyang in astonishment and said, "Zhengyang, what do you mean by this?"

Su Zhengyang looked into Yang Qiyue's clear eyes and slowly said, "In order to come to Linzhou with me, you gave up your position as editor-in-chief of Dahua Daily and all the hard work you have put in over the years."

"Although you don't say it, I can see that staying at home to take care of your husband and children is not the life you want. You worked hard to study abroad and returned to China to realize your dreams. How can you give up your dreams and future just because of marriage?"

"It just so happens that there is no media industry under the Northwest Revolutionary Army, and public opinion cannot be ignored. So I had someone set up this Zhenxing Newspaper, and you will be the president and editor-in-chief. In this way, you can not only continue to realize your ideals, but also use your abilities to help me. Most importantly, this is how you look at your most dazzling, real, and happiest."

Looking at Su Zhengyang's sincere eyes, a tear silently slid down from the corner of Yang Qiyue's eyes.

Yang Qiyue opened her arms and gave Su Zhengyang a passionate hug.

"Thank you, Zhengyang, thank you for understanding me and considering everything from my perspective. Being able to marry you is the greatest happiness in my life."

For a career-oriented woman like Yang Qiyue, the happiest thing is to be able to work hard for the career she loves and realize her self-worth.

"Let's go in and take a look together."

Su Zhengyang patted his wife's shoulders gently and loosened his arms. Yang Qiyue had a happy smile on her face and naturally took Su Zhengyang's arm. The two walked into the Zhenxing Newspaper side by side.

Walking into the lobby on the first floor, what comes into view is the clean, tidy and bright reception hall with white marble floors and huge crystal chandeliers, making you feel like you are standing in the lobby of a five-star hotel.

Zhang Luanyu, who had been waiting here for a long time, came over with a middle-aged man wearing a black suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and looking very elegant.

Yang Qiyue showed an incredible look, looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liu, why are you here too?"

The middle-aged man is named Liu Xiaofu. He was Yang Qiyue’s right-hand man when she was at Dahua Daily. They have worked together for many years and have a great understanding between them.

Liu Xiaofu smiled bitterly and said, "Councilman Su gave me five times my current salary and arranged a place for me to live in Yong'an City, solving all my worries. I had no choice but to accept Councilman Su's kindness, resign from Dahua Daily, and come here to help you."

Yang Qiyue glanced at Su Zhengyang, smiled and said, "I never thought that Editor-in-Chief Liu, who has never cared about fame and fortune, would bow down for a few dollars."

"The real reason why I am willing to come here is, firstly, because I have worked with you, Qiyue, for many years, and we have a tacit understanding in work, and secondly, because I admire Councillor Su very much. Otherwise, I would not have come all the way to Linzhou."

"Ma'am, let me introduce you to the first floor, where our news editing department and newspaper distribution department work."

Yang Qiyue followed Zhang Luanyu to the office area on the right side of the hall, which was more than 200 square meters. In the bright and clean office area, brand new desks were neatly arranged. Forty or fifty newspaper-related practitioners specially hired by Su Zhengyang lined up and said to Yang Qiyue in unison: "Hello, President Yang! We are the staff of Zhenxing Newspaper."

"I'm a journalist from Southwest Daily with five years of experience. My name is Liu Ze."

"I am a copy editor from Yongzhou Evening News, with three years of experience. My name is Du Xiaojun..."

As the newspaper employees present introduced themselves one by one, Yang Qiyue realized that Su Zhengyang had arranged everything silently. This included the staff of the news editing department, newspaper distribution department, layout design department, review department and other departments. They were all industry elites with at least two years of experience in the industry and would definitely save her a lot of trouble and effort in the future.

After some greetings and introductions, they came to the president's office on the third floor. The entire office covers an area of ​​about 80 square meters. In addition to a small reception room, there is a huge solid wood desk, leather high-end boss chair, white cashmere carpet, antique bookcases and antique shelves, as well as potted flowers placed everywhere. It makes people feel refreshed and refreshed. What's more thoughtful is that there is a secret door at the end of Yang Qiyue's office. When the secret door is opened, there is a lounge like a boudoir, with a dressing table and bed. It is small but complete.

Yang Qiyue couldn't hide the surprise on her face. It could be seen that Su Zhengyang had really prepared everything for her with all his heart.

After becoming the editor-in-chief of Zhenxing Newspaper, the strong woman Yang Qiyue quickly threw herself into her work. Team No. 7 of the Divine Punishment Special Forces was responsible for all-round protection of Yang Qiyue's personal safety, relieving Su Zhengyang of any worries.
