For a whole afternoon, I wandered back and forth on a path of no return.
On the one hand, I am Cheng Hua's ex-girlfriend, or regardless of this identity, I am also his classmate and friend who grew up together, or to put it another way, he is my old enemy and nemesis. But, if you want to punish him, if you want to punish him, I have to be happy, right? What are you, Han Qing? Isn't it the master who took my arm and called my sister? What's the matter, the regularization failed, the fake show really couldn't be done, and he became angry from embarrassment, and fought back? I just won't let you succeed.
But on the other hand, I am a conscientious media person. I know the strength of this news. Now one party broke the news, and the other party acquiesced. The content does not involve any subject matter that is not suitable for publication. , such a good manuscript, if it slips out of my hand, it is simply against my professional habits for many years.
In the evening, when the reporters and editors returned from their interviews one after another, I hadn't produced any results from the ideological struggle. Seeing that everyone was almost there, Liu Tao walked out of the office. When he passed by my desk, he tapped on my desk and said, "We have organized a meeting for everyone. Today, we have finalized the topic selection and published the process and sequence."
When you can't make a decision on a matter, it's always something I like to see an external force interfere, but this time, I feel unspeakably uncomfortable.
After all the editors were seated, Liu Tao nodded at me while sitting at one end of the conference table and said, "Momo, let's discuss topic selection and deadline arrangement."
I picked up the topic selection book irritably, and had to start discussing the topic selection with the editor. I put the topic selection on the front page at the end. Make a point of view, suitable for the front page, until I have finished all, I finally gave up. That's right, in the current issue, none of the clues we have is more suitable to be placed on the front page than Han Qing's revelation. I was silent for a while, looked up at Liu Tao and said: "Then let's discuss Let’s choose the topic on the front page of this issue, the topic is from Jing Jing Bao, but she still has little experience, I’m afraid she won’t be able to handle it well, this time the front page editor is Xu Jian, you need to make an outline with her.”
Liu Tao, who had been quiet all this time, said at this moment: "After finishing the manuscripts in hand, the reporters from the film and television and celebrity pages will follow up with Jingjing on Han Qing's manuscript. The amount of interviews should be relatively large now. You guys This is our last issue of the newspaper this year, and we must close it perfectly.” After speaking, he glanced at me and said, “Momo, help them straighten out their thinking. You have interviewed and contacted the two artists, so you should make up your mind on how to start the interview. The other reporters who have already arranged the deadline should go to write the article first, try to catch up with the time and progress as much as possible, finish it in advance, and take a good rest New Year."
Seeing that everyone was nodding, Liu Tao stood up and said, "Let's adjourn the meeting first, and the people related to the front page will continue to discuss with Momo, and the rest will be busy with their own affairs." After he finished speaking, he stood up first and went to the conference room I walked to the door, but when I got to the door, I looked back at me deeply, smiled and nodded to me.
My heart felt as if it had been stuffed with countless stones, but a few pairs of eyes were looking at me eagerly at the moment, and I couldn't just be in a daze, so I had to bite the bullet and start telling them about this topic selection Structured processing and interview arrangements. Then, I told them over and over again with the nagging that I could feel myself: "The interview must be serious and detailed. Don't just listen to one side of the story. No matter which artist Han Qing mentioned, it is best to find this artist." Go and implement it, don’t feel troublesome. Don’t just write the manuscript from Han Qing’s point of view, we are not an entertainment tabloid, and we don’t just want to catch people’s attention, so the report must be objective and rigorous.”
The editor of the front page worked with me for a while, seeing that it was rare for me to hold a meeting with them so seriously, he joked with me: "Momo, don't you feel sorry for Cheng Hua? It's okay, we'll listen to you, if you We don't want Cheng Hua's image to be damaged, so let's tell him, I understand this skill, if you say the opposite of one thing, it doesn't matter how you say it."
"It's better to be objective." I reluctantly smiled at him and hurriedly announced the end of the meeting.
On the way home from get off work, I kept convincing myself that Cheng Hua knew about it, and Miss Wei knew about it. Since they didn't do anything, it meant that the consequences would not be serious, so why should I worry about it
But when I thought of Cheng Hua casually telling me that making this news more lively would just suppress other news, and they would have the ability to stop what was about to happen, but they simply ignored it just to shield me from arrows. At that time, I felt that I was the biggest coward and villain in the world.
While comforting myself, I said that Cheng Hua had been in the entertainment industry for a long time, and such a small matter might not be a big deal for him, but at the same time, I thought of Fan Ye's famous saying "A thousand arrows pierce the heart, just get used to it." It felt as if my heart was being drilled hard by something.
What is it all about
In fact, at first, it was nothing more than a simple matter. Cheng Hua and I liked each other, even if I couldn't make it to the stage, at the beginning, it was probably just Cheng Hua's fans who were angry and scolded me a few times. How serious is it? Why did I pretend to be clever enough to invent Han Qing as Cheng Hua's lover, and even go out of my way to write gossip about them, but then it got so difficult that things developed step by step into what they are today. But now, I, the instigator, want to continue to contribute to this matter again, how can I be so shameless
When I got home, I didn't even have time to eat, so I started surfing the Internet crazily. I must find a topic that can be replaced, and replace the one on the front page. I hung on the Internet all night, and the outline of the topic selection alone listed a full five pages. When I went to work the next day, my eyes were red and swollen, and I handed the printed alternative questions to Liu Tao and said, "Mr. Liu, take a look at these questions. ?”
Liu Tao looked up at me in surprise, and asked me, "Did you stay up all night?"
I hummed vaguely, lowered my head, and said in a low voice, "Then take a look at it first, and call me after a while."
Liu Tao lowered his head and flipped through the topics I had printed out, and when I walked to the door, he suddenly asked me, "You can't let Cheng Hua go just like that?"
I felt my nose sore, and I turned around and gave Liu Tao an ugly grin: "Mr. Liu, no matter what, I've known this person for most of my life."
I sat silently in the outer office waiting for news from Liu Tao. My eyes, which had not closed all night, were very dry and uncomfortable. I could only keep applying eye drops to make myself feel better. : "Momo, why are you crying like this?"
I helplessly raised the eye drops in my hand: "Who is crying, isn't this uncomfortable for the eyes."
"Oh." Quanying nodded, patted me sympathetically and said, "Don't think too much, it's good to do your own thing well."
I looked at her nervously, "You know again?"
"Don't worry, I understand the rules. I will never spread the topic of internal selection. Otherwise, Jia Yaoyang will not be able to sit still. Cheng Hua is their image endorsement. I'm just advising you. Everyone has their own social role. You You didn’t do anything wrong in your position, so there’s no need to be so entangled.”
I looked at her speechlessly, smiled wryly, and the internal line rang.
Liu Tao frowned and looked at me, "Momo, these topics are not bad, but I think, you have been a reporter for so long, you should know which one is better, and when we can do the best, There's no reason to settle for less, is there?"
In fact, I know it well, I know that all the topics I'm looking for are far less suitable for posting on the front page than the current ones, I just don't give up.
Liu Tao saw that I was speechless and said, "Maybe it's not that serious, Momo, one piece of negative news is not enough to bring down an excellent artist. Moreover, if Cheng Hua is really affected by this news, maybe he will If you want to understand some things, maybe you will slowly fade out of this circle from now on, and it won’t be a bad thing for you in the long run.”
I shrugged my shoulders and said indifferently to Liu Tao: "Okay, Teacher Liu, I just want to see if there are other possibilities. If not, then let it be."
The reporters are very good, and basically completed all the interviews in a whole day. Looking at the results of the interview, I had to look at Han Qing with admiration. This little girl really did not fight unprepared. All the female artists she mentioned, except for those who refused to be interviewed on this matter, were all on the same target as her, pointing out that On the surface, Cheng Hua is an upright gentleman, but in reality he is merciful towards Qin Muchu and everywhere.
Almost, I almost believe it.
However, at this moment, I finally understand that this matter was premeditated, and it was definitely not Han Qing's whim, but someone behind the scenes. Sister Wei said that some people have no bottom line.
There are still two days before New Year's Day, the last busy time for signing, printing, and printing. Everyone looks like they can't wait for the holiday. They are doing things with unprecedented efficiency, and the signing, printing, and printing time is an hour earlier than before. Seeing that everything was done, Liu Tao announced that everyone could leave early. After a few minutes, I was the only one left in the outer office.
Liu Tao turned off the lights in the office, came out and saw me and said, "Aren't you leaving? Let's have dinner together?"
I smiled and told him: "I have a dinner appointment with someone, wait for someone."
He hesitated for a moment, then nodded to me, "Then I'll go first, happy new year, Momo."
"Ms. Liu is also happy."
Liu Tao went to the phototypesetting department to talk to the editor of the biography, waved at me at the door, and left.
I waited for ten minutes, then pretended to be nothing, walked to the photo-composition room, and said to the editor, "Isn't the copy finished? No date tonight?"
The editor had a bitter face, "It's still a while. Who said there is no date, my wife has urged me several times."
I went over to look at the progress bar of the data transmission, and said to him, "It's going to take an hour, why don't you go, and I'll watch it for you. Anyway, the person I made an appointment said to come later. I'm fine."
The editor looked at me in surprise, and said embarrassedly, "Isn't it appropriate?"
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. Passing the version to the printing field doesn't have any technical content. You can go, I'll watch."
Seeing the sincerity of what I said, he stood up happily and said, "Momo, you are so kind, then I'm leaving. You know where the documents are, and if you have any questions, call me. Then I will go first gone."
I was finally the only one left on the whole floor, I smiled nervously at the computer, and then clicked to cancel the data transmission. I took out the USB flash drive from my pocket, put several pre-made layouts into the signed and printed documents, replaced the original ones, packed the data, and re-selected upload.
Fortunately, I used to be a conscientious intern. As long as I can learn something, I will never be lazy. Things like arranging layouts and editing pictures are not difficult for me at all.
I watched the transmission progress bar move forward little by little, feeling indescribably at ease in my heart.
I know it's naive of me to do this. If I change this, Han Qing can still find other media, and this matter will still be exposed sooner or later. However, I have to do something, otherwise, my heart will never be at ease.
Seeing that the data transfer was completed, I easily turned off the computer, got up, turned off all the lights in the house, locked the door, and then went home happily, had dinner, and fell asleep.
