"Hiss...it hurts! Where is this place?"
In the First People's Hospital of S County, Nie Cai slowly opened his eyes, only to feel that everything in front of him was white, and he could smell the smell of disinfectant in his nose.
Nie Cai tried to move his body, but felt severe pain all over his body, including his head, shoulders, arms... and heart-pounding pain everywhere.
"You finally woke up! This is a hospital. You have been in a coma for a day. How do you feel now?"
When a young man next to him saw Nie Cai waking up, he immediately stood up with a look of joy on his face and asked.
This young man is called Gao Xiang. He is a colleague who joined S County TV station with Nie Cai. He is also Nie Cai's partner when he usually goes out for interviews and filming. He is short and looks very frail.
Like Nie Cai, he was a temporary worker at the S County TV station, and they also rented the same house together. They usually sympathized with each other and had a good relationship.
"My whole body hurts. How about being blocked by a dozen people and beaten with bricks and sticks?"
Nie Cai grinned and snorted. He felt that the gauze seemed to be blocking his right eye, so he reached out and tried to lift it up.
"Don't move! The doctor said your eye was injured. Although it's nothing serious, in order to avoid infection, it's best not to open the gauze until you are discharged from the hospital."
"These bastards are so cruel!"
Hearing this, Nie Cai stopped his hand and cursed bitterly.
Although his head was groggy, he still remembered the scene in the morning.
At that time, he was originally going to shoot other news, but Gao Xiang was in a hurry and asked Nie Cai to help shoot a news story. He said that someone called and said that he was forcibly sent to the Internet-free school and asked the media to interview him.
Nie Cai drove off in his work unit's broken Santana interview car, but what he didn't expect was that he had just taken a few shots outside the school. After a while, seventeen or eight big men who looked like wolves and tigers, holding sticks, appeared. , they caught him and they beat him up. Although Nie Cai resisted desperately, he was outnumbered after all, and he didn’t know what would happen next.
"By the way, how is Xiao Zhang? I asked her to leave first when that group of people came over, so be sure nothing happens."
Nie Cai seemed to suddenly remember something and said quickly.
There was also a female host on the station who went with him for the interview. She originally agreed to appear on the scene, but before Nie Cai could finish filming, this happened.
"Don't worry, she's fine. She came to see you in the morning, but you weren't awake yet." Gao Xiang nodded and said.
Hearing this, Nie Cai let out a long breath and finally felt relieved.
The most famous beauty anchor in S County TV Station is probably Zhang Xinyu. This beauty graduated from the Communication University of China majoring in broadcasting and hosting. With her tall figure and beautiful appearance, she is very eye-catching in a small place like S County TV Station. If it weren't for S County The county magistrate specially approved the introduction of talents with high salary, and coupled with the warm invitation from Taiwanese leaders, a small place really couldn't tolerate such a golden phoenix.
As the top broadcasting institution in the country, Communication University of China does not even have a CCTV presenter in the entire X province and city, let alone S County.
It can be said that if you take this academic degree and go directly to any TV station in X province and slap it on the director's desk, the director will cry for grandpa and beg grandma to let you stay.
The S County TV station is short of manpower. The reporter is a cameraman and editor. When necessary, he will also guest host on location. Generally speaking, unless there is a major report, the host on the station will not go out on location. But today, for some reason, Zhang Xinyu insisted on going out with Nie Cai for an interview, which almost hurt Chi Yu.
"That's good. The staff at the stage usually treat Zhang Xinyu very dearly. If there is anything wrong with her, Director Wei will have to tear my hands off this little temporary worker."
Knowing that Zhang Xinyu was fine, Nie Cai laughed and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come on, Brother Nie, don't look down on yourself so much. After all, you graduated from a key university, and you were the first among us to get a press card. As long as there is a staff in the station, it will definitely be yours, if not for someone parachuted in. Zhang Xinyu, I’m afraid you’ve already become a regular employee!”
Hearing this, Gao Xiang said angrily, defending Nie Cai.
Yes, Nie Cai is a legendary temporary worker. S County TV Station adheres to the tradition of the radio and television system. The most senior employees are naturally regular employees. They have establishments, professional titles, and the highest wages. They are equivalent to iron rice bowls. They are said to be people "within the system", and the next level is Taiwan hires. They are similar to formal employees, but they have no establishment. These people are divided into first hire, second hire, and third hire according to the working time, and the wages and bonuses are in order. Decreasingly.
The lowest level is, of course, the legendary temporary workers. These people have the most insecure jobs. They earn low wages and low bonuses, and do the hardest and most tiring work, just to wait for a recruitment opportunity. They usually do In less than a year or two, he may leave at any time.
Nie Cai and Gao Xiang fell into the category of temporary workers. When Nie Cai graduated and returned to City Z, he faced two choices. One was to return to a remote town in his hometown to be a civil servant, and the other was to work as a civil servant at S County TV Station. Journalist.
Nie Cai weighed for a long time and gave up his idle career as a civil servant. Instead, he chose to work as a reporter from a temporary job. Unexpectedly, he would only work for a year.
"There is a big difference between my major in computer science and the major in broadcasting. The tuition fee alone is four to five times different, and their financial value is definitely higher than mine. Moreover, although I wanted to apply for the broadcasting major and become a famous host, I Firstly, I didn’t have the money to study bodybuilding to pass the art exam, and secondly, my Mandarin dialect was so bad that I had no hope of passing the exam, so I had no choice but to settle for second place and start working as a reporter.”
Nie Cai smiled, shook his head and said, "Besides, the last time Zhang Xinyu was admitted, it was specially approved by the mayor. This kind of thing will definitely not happen again. I guess it will be fine this year."
Nowadays, there are only a few people in the entire station who meet the requirements for recruitment. In addition, Nie Cai's cultural score is unparalleled. Even if someone tries to play tricks in the interview, it will be difficult for him to do anything. Nie Cai will definitely take the opportunity to take the recruitment examination next time. He was able to pass the exam, so he was not in a hurry.
In fact, what Nie Cai looks forward to most is not to take the exam to join the staff, but to become a host. If that doesn't work, he might as well become a reporter-type location host.
The most prestigious person in the news industry is undoubtedly the host. The host is the face of a column or even a TV station. Who among those working in the news industry doesn’t want to sit in this position? Unfortunately, S County is located in the south, and the older generation speaks in dialect. Even the Mandarin spoken by those born in the 1980s who have gone through compulsory education is not much better. The locals describe Mandarin as having a "salty smell", Nie Cai has lived in this kind of environment since he was a child, and his Mandarin proficiency is barely above the second-level level, which is far from the first-level standard for the host qualification certificate.
If Nie Cai's computer major was placed in a developed city, he could prosper, but in a place like S County TV station, it would be a secret, and his major would be of no use at all.
"Brother Nie, you are just too upright... Let's not talk about others. Let's talk about your own recovery first. The doctor said you had a slight concussion on your brain. Director Wei came to see you this morning and said it was a work-related injury. He asked you to take good care of yourself. recuperate."
Gao Xiang shook his head helplessly, picked up the kettle on the bedside table, poured a glass of water for Nie Cai, then took out a straw from his bag and handed it to his mouth.
"You even have a straw? That's so thoughtful. If you were a woman now, I would probably be moved enough to marry you."
Nie Cai drank the water in one breath and cursed with a smile, but when he moved his hand a little wider, he felt a faint pain.
"After all, Brother Nie, you blocked the disaster for me. Originally, I was going to shoot this subject. I only bothered Brother Nie when something happened... If it were a small body like mine, I would probably be dead."
Gao Xiang smiled naively, with an envious look on his face, and said, "But don't tell me yet. Ever since you saved the beauty heroically, Beauty Zhang seems to have a much better attitude towards you. Well, that bouquet of flowers was sent by her. She She also told me to let her know if you wake up. I guess I want to thank you for saving the beauty..."
Nie Cai interrupted Gao Xiang and seemed to be dismissive of this "honor": "Come on, what kind of heroic rescue is this? He was beaten like a bear... I don't know which suitor sent this bouquet of flowers. I guess it was The card was just thrown away and handed over to me, just like getting rid of the trash on hand."
Ever since Zhang Xinyu joined the S County TV station, she has had countless suitors, but she has always looked like an iceberg beauty and has rejected many suitors.
Nie Cai saw all these things. He was self-aware and didn't think too much at all.
He waved his hand, and then said: "How about it? My camera must have been smashed, but luckily I was careful, hugged the camera, secretly took off the tape, and hid it."
Although he was just a young reporter in the news department of S County TV station, and even a legendary temporary worker, he was beaten for no reason. It would be a lie to say that he was not angry in his heart.
A school that has banned the Internet is so arrogant that even reporters dare to attack it. So one can only imagine their attitude towards students.
There is nothing good to say about such people. Since you want revenge, you must go to death and expose them through the media.
He was still recording when this group of people rushed over with sticks, and he should be able to record the faces of the group of people. Therefore, this videotape is very important as evidence, as long as it can be confirmed that the group of people who beat him are the Jiewang People from the school, then Nie Cai can sue them to death.
But at this time, Gao Xiang's eyes suddenly became evasive, and he said hesitantly: "I don't know. The people in the technical department in Taili said that the machine is extremely broken and has been sent to the manufacturer for repair."
"What's going on? Don't tell me you didn't even report the crime, right?"
Nie Cai frowned when he saw Gao Xiang's evasive appearance, and immediately asked: "Even if my life is worthless, the camera is worth tens of thousands of yuan anyway. Doesn't this still meet the standards for filing a case?"
The camera Nie Cai has been using is Sony's DSR-PD150p, which is already considered a vintage camera. However, it cost more than 20,000 yuan when he bought it, which must have exceeded the police station's standard for filing a case.
"Brother Nie, stop talking. The police came in the morning, but they went back. Moreover, the leaders have issued an urgent notice. Regarding this matter, reporting, Weibo, and spreading are prohibited. The impact of the matter must be minimized. range."
Gao Xiang looked around and saw that no one was coming. He lowered his voice and came close to Nie Cai's ear: "Brother, if you encounter this matter, you can only consider yourself unlucky. They have a backstage, and we small How can I afford to offend temporary workers?"
"The backstage? Is the backstage of the Internet-free school owner so tough that he dares to ignore our S County TV station?"
After hearing this, Nie Cai finally understood. Although he was only a temporary worker, he had been working at the TV station for a long time. Now he could figure out something about it.
"That's right, they have a tough background."
Gao Xiang's face was suddenly full of helplessness, and he nodded: "It is said that this Blue Sky School is opened by a relative of the director of the Propaganda Department. If it is another system, forget it. Our publicity system is not afraid, but... the county magistrate is not as good as the current one." , our director slapped the table with the director, but we still can’t twist our thighs with our arms.”
Nie Cai suddenly fell silent. If he were a powerful figure in another department and something like this happened, he could still fight with the S County TV station. After all, the TV station is the department that has the weapon of public opinion. The reporter is known as the uncrowned king, but if it is propaganda The department in charge of TV stations...
He had worked as a reporter on current affairs news for a while, and he knew that the head of the Propaganda Department of S County was called Wang Runfa. Nie Cai had met him several times. In the impression, every time he came to the TV station for inspection, he was always cheered and supported, and he was so impressive. very.
It is better for the county magistrate to take charge now. The protective umbrella of the Internet-free school is too big. At least the TV station will definitely not dare to mess with it.
"Yesterday our Director Bai had a discussion with the director of the station about this matter, which made the boss unhappy, but there was nothing we could do. The station said that there was no need to offend the propaganda director because of a temporary worker, but I heard that the station was also in the wrong, saying that he wanted to let You become a full-time employee as compensation...Brother Nie, it's not easy for you, so I'll let it go."
Gao Xiang sighed, as if his mouth was dry from talking too much, so he picked up the kettle next to him, told Nie Cai, and went to the water room to get water.
