When I woke up, it was almost noon. I calculated the time, and the newspaper should be published. However, because the New Year's Day holiday has already begun, no one in the editorial department is at work today, so I guess everyone may not be able to see the front page being changed immediately.
But the excitement and fearlessness that I had at the beginning of the impulsiveness gradually disappeared with the passage of time. The silence of the mobile phone and the situation that no one has asked the teacher to ask the crime have made me very restless.
My mother watched me wandering around the room suspiciously, and repeatedly took out my phone to look at it, and finally couldn't help asking: "Xiaomo, who are you waiting for? Xiaohua? You two Is there something awkward about it? If he doesn’t call you, just call him.”
I looked at my mother in annoyance, and asked guiltily: "Mom, if I lose my job, will you support me?"
"Bah." The mother immediately spat: "Your husband is raising you, how old are you? Why do you still eat your parents? Eat your husband if you have the ability, and go to work if you don't have the ability." After finishing speaking, she looked at me suspiciously. Say, "Why are you unemployed? Did you get into trouble?"
I nodded nervously.
The mother looked a little excited, "What's the trouble? You broke up with your editor-in-chief Liu? It's okay, that kid doesn't seem to be a narrow-minded person, and he won't let you lose your job just because you don't choose him."
"No..." I was speechless at my mother's entanglement, and before I could say anything else, my phone rang suddenly.
I jumped nervously, picked up the phone and saw that it was Quan Ying calling.
"Girl, have you seen our newspaper? The front page has changed its topic. When I left yesterday, it was signed and printed like this? Oh my god, this is Cheng Hua's company coordinating with our boss, right? Energy Not too small! Are you relieved now?"
"Uh..." I said cautiously, hesitantly, "That's what I changed."
"Ah?" Quan Ying was stunned, "What do you mean you changed it? You changed it yourself? Didn't the leader approve it?"
"Yes, I changed it secretly myself." I had been holding back my confession and leniency early in the morning, and finally found a listener.
I heard Quan Ying take a deep breath on the phone, and then said in a very excited tone: "Ha, you are finished, you are so courageous, you dare to change the printed sample without permission, my God, my God, this matter Interesting, Cheng Hua asked you to change it? You really dare to do anything for him."
"No, he doesn't know either, it's me... I changed it myself..."
Quan Ying was silent, and then said after a while: "Well, you are doing well. I finally know what a lover is, and I adore you. Well, I can do it for myself. Remember, if you are laid off and have no food, there will be sisters. "
After I hung up Quanying's phone call, I was in a daze.
In fact, I don't know why such a timid person like me would do such a daring thing in the end. It's just that during this maddening week, I really don't know how to keep myself from collapsing. I actually know that the news I suppressed may not be reported by other media within 24 hours. It doesn't make any real sense for me to do so. However, at a certain moment, what I thought was that if Cheng Hua was unlucky, I would definitely be with him, so that I could feel more at ease.
I just can't bear it, seeing him being attacked while I'm still fine. He is the person I have known for more than ten years, and I can't avoid him even if I want to. He is the person who is still in my heart even if I really avoid him. It's the person who I always seem to be looking forward to his bad luck, to make a fool of himself, to lose his composure, but one day if someone wrongs him, I will be furious.
In this world, I am the only one who wronged him, and that is what he owes me.
that is it.
The calls began to come in one after another. First, my intern asked me timidly: "Mr. Du, have we changed the topic on the front page? Well... Han Qing's agent asked me just now, why didn't she inform her? How are we going to explain it to them?"
"Excuse me, tell him, and I'll change it for him. What's the matter, let her go to whomever she likes."
Intern "…"
After a while, the editor of the post called me: "Momo, our front page has changed? Do you know about this? I post this version from time to time. Is it okay now?"
"I'm sorry, I changed it myself." I said.
Art editor:"… "
"Xiao Yang, it's okay. If you are held accountable for this matter, the most you can do is deduct money. I will make up for you. Don't worry."
The editor remained silent.
"Sorry for getting you involved." I apologized guiltily again.
The editor suddenly yelled, "Momo, are you and Cheng Hua a couple? Someone said that a long time ago, but I still didn't believe it, but this time I do. Awesome, the power of love is really great. Well, I Bless you guys."
I:"… "
After that, I received calls from several colleagues. Like Mrs. Xianglin, I turned myself in to everyone and sincerely apologized to all those involved in the incident. Probably because my dear colleagues are enjoying their holidays, none of them lost their temper with me, on the contrary, they are all quite excited about this matter. Perhaps, each of them, including me, is facing such a thing for the first time in their careers as media professionals.
However, I never received the call from the person I was looking forward to and fearing the most. Liu Tao hasn't called me until now, even after the newspaper was printed and listed for a few hours, he still didn't answer me.
I guess, the possibility that he didn't see it is not high, then, he must have been pissed off, and probably won't talk to me for the rest of his life. For others, I know that because of the relationship between authority and responsibility, they will be deducted money at most. The matter of money is not a big deal. But what will happen to Liu Tao? I don't know. I don't know if I will lose my position as editor-in-chief.
I thought I would feel sorry for him, but I didn't expect that the last thing I felt sorry for him was not emotionally, but work.
In the evening, I finally couldn't take it anymore, and called Liu Tao tremblingly.
Liu Tao's voice on the phone was as warm as a spring breeze.
"Momo, Happy New Year!" he said.
My courage to turn myself in disappeared after hearing Liu Tao's words, and I could only stammer: "Mr. Liu, you are happy too."
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"Watching TV..." I looked up and opened my eyes for a long time, but I didn't know what TV was playing.
"The satellite TV is broadcasting a TV series starring Cheng Hua, do you want to watch it?" Liu Tao's voice was still calm, as if nothing had happened, but suddenly he mentioned Cheng Hua's name like nothing happened, making people My heart trembled up and down several times.
I couldn't continue to pretend to be stupid following Liu Tao's tenderness, and said in a trembling voice like a collapse: "Mr. Liu, I was wrong, I'm sorry for you."
Liu Tao smiled, and said as if he didn't hear, "Momo, this TV is pretty good. Although Cheng Hua is an idol artist, her acting skills are really good."
I heard Cheng Hua's voice from the TV on the other side of the phone, and the voice said softly, "As long as we are together, everything will be fine."
My nose was sore, and tears were almost coming out of my eyes.
Liu Tao finally said to me: "Okay, Momo, if you finish doing this, you feel that you are right, happy, and you won't regret it. You have nothing to do to me. I can give you a chance to do this, I You can bear the consequences of this."
I asked in surprise: "Ms. Liu, do you know that I will change the manuscript on the front page?"
"I can't be sure in advance, but I saw you secretly making a version. I think you will have your own idea in the end. This is a very serious matter, but if it is handled, it will not be too serious Consequences. So, I just want to see how you decide, and what Cheng Hua means to you, even if it's just to delay twenty-four hours, are you determined to do so."
"I... I actually didn't want to delay for 24 hours, I just... didn't want him to be unlucky." I muttered.
Hearing what I said, Liu Tao laughed loudly, "You are really good. But I have proofread and corrected the mistakes in the layout for you in advance, so I guess you will not be unlucky, so you can spend the New Year with peace of mind. Let's talk about it after work."
I was speechless, "Liu, Mr. Liu, did you change the version for me?"
"Yeah, I see you are in a hurry, I won't check it out for you, how many typos do you need? The front page change, the readers don't know, it's our internal matter, but you can get me a newspaper full of typos , how about that?"
After listening to Liu Tao's words, I was in a state of shock. I forgot to say goodbye and hung up the phone.
It turned out that Liu Tao knew for a long time that I was doing bad things, but he didn't stop me, and even watched me act. The old fox! I slander. But I couldn't help feeling sour and warm in my heart, what a good fox this is.
On New Year's Day, another local daily publication published the content of Han Qing's revelation, but because it is a daily newspaper, the page is limited, so it is far less detailed than what we did at the beginning. I read the newspaper and felt an inexplicable sense of absurdity in my heart.
What a strange world this is. For the same thing, some people lie to hide the truth and don't want to be pushed to the forefront, while others lie just to be able to be on the forefront.
Actually, what do I hate about Han Qing? Back then, didn’t I use Cheng Hua to make articles? Although the purpose is opposite, but at that time, can I think about Chenghua's feelings
One day passed, and by the evening entertainment news, this news had already been broadcast by the TV media. I thought, the Internet should have gone crazy by now. I almost dare not look at it.
At the last minute of the old year, I called Cheng Hua, "Are you okay?"
"What's the matter? The crew's New Year's Eve dinner is terrible, and there is no holiday on New Year's Day." He complained as usual, but he didn't hear any difference from usual.
"Cheng Hua, let's be together. Don't make trouble, okay?" I said.
Cheng Hua seemed to be taken aback by what I said, and it took a long time before she said, "Okay, but, Momo, let this matter pass, I'm about to be scolded like hell, I don't even dare to read Weibo and forums. Sister Wei said, there are five or six new tricks being scolded by netizens every second. I searched my Weibo one by one for the evidence of the so-called Qin Muchu, and Wei Jie was about to delete all of my Weibo. Oh, yes, Sister Wei also said, your newspaper didn’t publish this news, why did you let this exclusivity go away?”
I didn't answer his last question. I just thought about what he said. It turned out that he was not invulnerable. He said he didn't dare to look at it. I thought he would be sad when he saw it. The difference between me and him is probably just that he is braver than me, knowing that it will hurt, he doesn't shrink his head.
On the last day of the New Year's Day holiday, I got on the plane early in the morning. At two o'clock in the afternoon, I found Cheng Hua's crew's location, and there were countless reporters piled up outside the door.
I stood outside and dialed Cheng Hua's phone. His assistant answered the call and told me that he is currently filming and that the crew is denying all reporters to enter.
I said, "I'm not a reporter, I'm Cheng Hua's girlfriend."
The assistant brother was silent. Twenty minutes later, he arrived at the door with a stern expression and led me in.
There were a few people around who probably thought I looked familiar, and suddenly asked, "Hey, why can she go in? They are all reporters, even if it's an exclusive interview for her, we should give us a chance to do a group interview."
The little brother said with a serious expression: "She is not here for an interview." Then he led me in, and I heard a few aggrieved voices muttering behind me, "In this world, everything must have a way."
After Cheng Hua finished filming a set of scenes, when he came back to rest, he saw me and was completely dumbfounded. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and ask me, "You...why are you here?"
I smiled, licked my face and said, "I miss you."
Cheng Hua's expression was even more stunned, "Don't lie to me."
I rolled my eyes and said instead: "I want to slap you."
I was suddenly pulled into his arms by him, his voice muffled over my shoulder, "Don't lie to me..."
In the next few scenes, Cheng Hua's performance was a mess. I saw the director's expression of wanting to beat someone up, and I felt happy. Where the scene was filmed. Sister Wei was sitting there with her legs crossed, looking at me with a smile on her face, with a villainous expression on her face, "Okay? Let's fight it out? You have to make people turn their backs on their backs, right? I wish I had known you were such a scourge earlier. From the beginning, I should dismantle it for you and finish it, you see how much trouble has happened?"
I smiled embarrassingly, Sister Wei patted one of the stools to let me sit down, and said to me: "You can't run away this time, how many pairs of eyes are in the crew, how many reporters are at the door, I guess this matter will be over in a while." It got out."
I held my head high, with an expression ready to die generously, "Let's pass it on, let's die early and be reborn early."
That day, when I left the location of the crew, I was sitting in Sister Wei’s car. The reporters outside were stuck in front of the car like crazy. I was very calm in the car, even waving and smiling at them through the window.
In all things, my only omission is that on the day I go to work, I will see countless reporters at the door of the newspaper office. At the first moment, I thought that some famous person was coming to the newspaper office today, but when I approached him, I had an ominous premonition. I also learned from Cheng Hua. I haven't surfed the Internet or checked Weibo. I don't know what is going on with this matter now. I just came to the newspaper office today to get my share of the fine.
It’s just that it’s too late for me to hide. I’m not a celebrity, but I’m always familiar with reporters. Just when someone yelled, “Du Mo’s there.” I got out of the crowd, but my hat and scarf were missing. Fortunately, the security system of the newspaper itself is very sound. As soon as I got to the gate, the security guards quickly stopped everyone who was swarming. The newspaper building.
The elevator staff looked at me very strangely. From the reflection of the elevator door, I saw that I was slovenly as if I had just been robbed. I smiled awkwardly, quickly stroked my hair, and barely straightened my clothes.
As soon as I got off the elevator, before I entered the office, I saw the very unfriendly expression of our big leader at the gate. When I saw my eyebrows, I raised my eyebrows and shouted angrily: "Du Mo, you are awesome, I will be your boss!" Editor-in-chief for such a long time, it is the first time I see paparazzi chasing after the newspaper office, you really opened my eyes!"
I just rubbed my hands together and laughed, and from the corner of my eye I saw Liu Tao on one side, and his colleagues behind him all smiling at me.
"After a while, you hurry to go through the door of the printing shop, and then stay at home and don't come to the newspaper office. What are you doing? Make a media organization as crowded as a performing arts venue. You might as well change your career to performing arts. What kind of reporter are you? , I really wronged you." After the big leader yelled, he walked away with his hands behind his back. Before leaving, he said impatiently to Liu Tao: "You, tell her the result of the settlement."
After the leader left, there was a short period of excitement in the office. My colleagues quickly surrounded me and asked with excitement in their eyes: "Momo, you are good enough with a big star, you can have an underground affair." "What's going on now? Are you going to get married?" "So, what was said about the kidnapping last time is true? Sure enough, fans are jealous of Hai Shengbo?"
Liu Tao coughed, and said to his excited colleagues: "Okay, the meeting will be held in an hour, and we will report on this week's topic selection. The holiday will take up a day of our process, so all the subordinates should hurry up and don't delay the progress. Mo Mo, come with me." The colleagues stuck out their tongues and returned to their desks reluctantly.
As for me, although I predicted all the worst consequences, to be honest, when I entered the office with Liu Tao, I was still very nervous. Liu Tao sat behind the desk and looked up at me, the smile on his face was getting bigger and bigger, but he just didn't make a sound.
I couldn't bear to ask: "Mr. Liu, have I been fired?"
Liu Tao raised his eyebrows and smiled silently, "You just thought about getting fired, didn't you?"
I bowed my head guiltily, "No... But I know, I must have caused trouble... The leader just asked me to go home..."
"The leader came here today to announce the result of your handling, to report criticism within the agency, to remove the director's position, and to deduct the performance of the month and the year-end bonus. However, half of it made the reporter downstairs angry and told me that I will give you a vacation. The reporter left and you came back, but you didn’t say anything about dismissal.”
I let out a long breath, "Then, I have been put on leave? What about you? How will the leader deal with you?"
"Most of them are the same as you, but they have not been dismissed. They will stay for inspection. Let me re-edit the editing process, because in the end, if such a problem occurs, there must be a loophole in the process, which must be made up. Others, it's nothing." He said After finishing speaking, he smiled, "You don't know yet, our leader and Miss Wei are also friends. So I am quite interested in your gossip. Miss Wei didn't ask clearly, so she asked me specifically today."
I smiled embarrassedly: "Mr. Liu, I'm really sorry to cause you trouble."
Liu Tao shook his head and asked me, "Is the passport not expired?"
I nodded, and he pushed me a form and said: "I saw a tour group, and it feels pretty good, sign up for a while, calm down, come back and work hard, I will tell the leader that the position of director is temporarily reserved for you .”
Sometimes I am really amazed at my good luck. Of course, if you ignore things like fire adventures and kidnappings, I definitely think that I am blessed by God. After being so reckless as a demon, it ended so unexpectedly and without any danger, and even got a rare annual leave as a blessing in disguise.
I sat on the plane, thinking about the recent past and present, and finally, the corners of my mouth almost grinned to the back of my head. However, I didn't expect that after getting off the plane, I could meet something that made me happier.
When I picked up my luggage and walked out with the guide, I suddenly felt that someone's clothes on the side looked very familiar, so I couldn't help but take another look. It was the last time Cheng Hua and I were on vacation, and Cheng Hua was wearing it when he picked me up at the airport. That fancy beach suit. Unexpectedly, in another place, you can still bump into someone. I took a closer look at this person who bumped into Cheng Hua, and I was immediately dumbfounded. Although he was wearing sunglasses and a straw hat, who else could have that silly grin
But isn't he not allowed to have a holiday on New Year's Day? But isn't he in the crew to catch up with the progress? But didn't he say that he still needs to avoid the limelight for the time being
I couldn't care too much anymore, I threw away the suitcase and ran towards him...
It turns out that the so-called love means that after looking forward and backward, after a mess, it will still become crazy and regardless of the consequences. All the ridiculous or sad things before are all condiments in love.
I threw myself into Cheng Hua's arms, and kissed him hard, while he put on a handsome look, pushed down his sunglasses, revealed his eyes and gave Dadi a wink.
He likes to be handsome, he likes to pretend to be a lover, some of his sweet words are true and some are false, but so what? If he is like this, as long as he is willing to act to me one day, I will always love to watch him.
And the future is still so long, maybe I can look at it like this for a lifetime.
Finish
