CHAPTER 650: CHAPTER 650: IRON-FISTED TACTICS

About another hour passed, and the door to the operating room finally opened.

Tao Qian immediately went up when he saw the lead surgeon.

After inquiring, he learned the surgery was very successful.

Soon after, Lan Hui was wheeled out.

Her body was wrapped in bandages, showing no signs of waking up.

Once in the ward, the nurse hung an IV drip for Lan Hui.

Half an hour later, Lan Hui began to gradually wake up.

"Qian, was my surgery successful?"

Tao Qian quickly replied, "I asked the doctor, he said it was very successful. Once your face completely recovers from the swelling, I’ll find a way to get you a passport."

A few days later, Lan Hui was discharged from the hospital.

Tao Qian rented a small apartment for her, and incidentally paid six months of rent.

He told Lan Hui to focus on healing in the days ahead, not to worry about anything else.

The night before the visa was about to expire, Tao Qian left Lan Hui some money.

However, it was not much, just enough for Lan Hui’s living expenses for six months.

Tao Qian worried giving too much would make Lan Hui unwilling to return home, which would be disastrous.

As he boarded the plane back home, Tao Qian suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Evidently, this mission went much smoother than he had imagined.

Upon arriving in Tianhai, Tao Qian immediately invited Chen Bin to his home.

He recounted his experiences from this period, complete and detailed.

Chen Bin was very pleased upon hearing this, directly breaking protocol to promote Tao Qian to Deputy Director of the News Department.

Naturally, Tao Qian was very happy and began continually showing his loyalty.

After the Spring Festival, the relocation work of the TV station officially started.

Chen Bin assigned Lu Lin and Mou Long to specially take charge of this matter.

Moving was indeed a significant task, but Chen Bin did not put all his energy into it.

After all, with the merger of the TV and radio stations, he, as the overall leader, had to focus on the development of the radio station.

At the radio station reform seminar, Chen Bin spoke first.

"Currently, the income level of the radio station is very poor, and it hasn’t launched a new program for a long time. I believe reform and innovation are needed, aiming for the same level as the TV station..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Pei Kanglu, the former head of the provincial radio station and the current deputy head of the provincial broadcast station.

"Chen Tai, I believe the decline of the radio station is inevitable, now everyone is watching TV, who would listen to this? Also, I think there is no need to launch new programs."

Chen Bin hated being interrupted during meetings, he stared at Pei Kanglu, his face instantly turned cold.

"So according to you, the radio station should just close directly? How did you manage before as the head?!"

"No, I..."

"What do you mean you? Much to my surprise, the radio station declined quickly under you because of your lack of progress!"

Pei Kanglu, accustomed to being the boss in the radio station, was at a loss for words when criticized by Chen Bin like this.

With a cold snort, Chen Bin continued.

"Although the radio station is a state unit, when faced with development challenges, we must be bold to break through and find ways to overcome them. Now the radio station is also under my management, I can’t let you continue to be complacent, innovation is a must!"

People at the television side were quite familiar with Chen Bin’s domineering style, so they were not surprised.

But for the people at the radio side, they had only heard of Chen Bin’s temper, they didn’t expect it to be this big.

It seems like slacking off in the future would be almost impossible.

Next, Chen Bin’s voice rose again.

"After the merger, the radio station is no longer a state institution. As a business, to operate well, we must generate revenue. So the first thing is reform, dismiss those who are just filling in for numbers!"

Saying this, he directly gave Pei Kanglu a stern look.

"You don’t know how to do it yourself, I’m telling you now, why aren’t you taking notes?!"

Being publicly humiliated, Pei Kanglu’s face turned ugly.

Yet he dared not explode, he could only hold back his anger and start taking notes.

Chen Bin continued, "Secondly, expand coverage, the broader the coverage, the greater the revenue. Finally, create innovative programs, only by creating programs that audiences like, can we have a better income base."

After his words fell, Chen Bin scanned around.

"Does anyone have a different opinion on the suggestions I just made?"

Everyone shook their heads.

After all, Chen Bin made his plan so clear, it showed he was determined to pursue reform.

Since that’s the case, it’s completely meaningless to object.

"Alright, then I announce the official establishment of the radio station reform leadership team. I will be the leader, Mei Tai and Pei Tai will be vice-leaders, report to me anytime. Meeting adjourned!"

Frowning, Mei Ouchi felt very depressed.

Downsizing is a matter of offending people, Chen Bin deliberately made him responsible, it was clearly setting him up.

The relationships within the radio station were many, hearing there were plans to ruin their livelihood, everyone was extremely resistant.

Mei Ouchi’s job couldn’t continue, worried about being scolded by Chen Bin, he had to grit his teeth and bear it.

Until that day, when called to Chen Bin’s office.

"How is your work going over there? Why haven’t I received any feedback?"

"Well... I..."

Seeing Mei Ouchi’s hesitant look, Chen Bin seemed a bit impatient.

"Speak up, what do you mean by this?"

"I’ve never worked at the radio station, so my words basically don’t work!"

"Methods always outweigh challenges, if you can’t solve it, it only shows you haven’t put effort into it."

Mei Ouchi felt a bitterness within, ultimately could only reluctantly say.

"Chen Tai, it’s my personal incompetence, maybe you should hand this matter over to someone else."

"Fine, then go tell Pei Kanglu immediately to notify radio station cadre-level and above to hold a full station meeting tomorrow!"

The next day, Chen Bin drove straight to the provincial radio station.

Except for the initial merger period, this was the first time he personally went over.

Previously, every time something happened, it was Pei Kanglu who went to report to him.

But in terms of downsizing, this time he had to go personally.

With the main cadres all present, everyone started whispering.

They speculated that Chen Bin coming over this time was definitely related to radio reform.

Moreover, with Chen Bin’s strong work style, someone probably had to leave the radio station.

At precisely nine, Chen Bin and Pei Kanglu walked into the conference room together.

Instantly, the surroundings became still.

After taking seats, Pei Kanglu spoke.

"Today’s meeting is mainly about reform. I know some of you have questions. For this, Chen Tai specially came to explain the situation to everyone. Let’s welcome Chen Tai to speak!"

Under his lead of applause, the conference room suddenly filled with thunderous applause.

Chen Bin raised both hands and pressed them down, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"I’m used to being efficient, let’s get to the point. The radio station’s staff is bloated, seriously affecting operational efficiency. So I think we must downsize, to let the radio station run well..."

The entire meeting revolved around downsizing, making those who entered the radio station through connections tremble in fear.

After the meeting, someone specifically went to Chen Bin with gifts to stay in the radio station, but was all refused.

Because he knew his career path was still long, accepting bribes was easy to become a handle against him.

Under Chen Bin’s ironfisted approach, the issues Mei Ouchi couldn’t resolve before were all smoothly done...
