Seizing Dreams

Chapter 130: Dilemma

Views:

Yu Hao struggled to refine the language and began to write the introduction to the topic, while Jin Weicheng watched him write the manuscript. At first, Yu Hao only wanted to be a reporter and do interviews, but in the end, it was the inescapable writing that drove him crazy the most. Really cool interview, writing a crematorium.

Yu Hao typed with a slap in the face, and Jin Weicheng said, "You didn't hesitate at all?"

Yu Hao said, "What are you hesitating about?"

Lin Ze glanced at Jin Weicheng and didn't interrupt. Yu Hao knew that many times Lin Ze and Jin Weicheng had great conflicts, but both sides were quite restrained. After all, Jin Weicheng was older than Lin Ze, and no one would refute him.

After all, everyone's values have been tempered by their own unique life, just like "The Great Gatsby" said, "Whenever you feel like criticizing someone, you must remember that in this world Not all people have what you have.”

After Yu Hao finished writing a paragraph of introduction, he deleted it, wrote it, and deleted it again. He leaned back in his chair, pondered, and looked sideways at Jin Weicheng.

"What follow-up will our investigative reporting lead to?" Jin Weicheng said. "Before you write, you need to think clearly."

Yu Hao said, "The rectification will require extensive compensation."

"It is impossible to rectify," Lin Ze said casually. "It is impossible to rectify in this life. If something goes wrong, it will only be shut down. The Guangxian incident is already quite serious."

"Yes." Jin Weicheng said, "The complete shutdown means that these people will lose their jobs. A special report will affect the GDP of the entire county, affect their finances, affect their lives, and leave the battery factory. After getting compensation, what can they do? Farm? The land has been polluted. These people either leave their hometowns and go out to find jobs, or they play cards and gamble in the village to make a living.”

Yu Hao said, "If we don't shut it down, more and more people will die."

Jin Weicheng replied: "So, we are virtually deciding on the fate of these people. Have you ever thought about what power do you have to decide the fate of others?"

Yu Hao said, "Well..."

Jin Weicheng: "The officials have made great achievements for the benefit of the party, but they concealed a large-scale accidental death case and brought him down. It is foreseeable that the housing price will skyrocket, and the local people will not be able to live a good life. Everyone will scold you. Do you report or not? "

Yu Hao said, "Report, is it reasonable for him to conceal the report? What did he do before concealing the report? Why didn't you think about it clearly?"

"There will be more people starving to death." Jin Weicheng said, "How do you choose?"

Yu Hao said, "That's the problem of the successor. If it's serious, just chase after him and continue to bite."

Jin Weicheng got up and added water to the cup and said, "The switchman's theorem, there is one child on one rail and five on the other. The switch is in your hand. Which way do you turn it?"

Yu Hao: "Flip over a child and save five lives."

Jin Weicheng said: "Human life is priceless, one human life is not inferior to five."

Yu Hao: "It's not like that for me."

Jin Weicheng: "Are you worthy of the person who died?"

Yu Hao: "I'm sorry, but if he has grievances, just come to me. I'm waiting for revenge. Anyway, I have a clear conscience."

Lin Ze finally laughed, but did not interrupt Yu Hao.

Jin Weicheng thought for a while, nodded, and said, "What if that person is someone you know? For example, your boyfriend?"

"Fight the five children and save my boyfriend." Yu Hao thought to himself, is there any need to ask

"Why?" Jin Weicheng said, "What power does a reporter have to decide people's life and death? To decide people's life?"

Yu Hao smiled and continued to write: "Just because the switch was handed over to me, and because I am a reporter on this topic."

Lin Ze didn't speak for a long time, Jin Weicheng nodded, didn't comment, got up and went out, stood under the sun and snow for a while, and went out for an interview.

"Is it taught in psychology class?" Lin Ze said.

"Zhou Sheng taught." Yu Hao said, "I think I'm much gentler. In Zhou Sheng's case, as long as I'm not on the rails, he should be 'Which way he wants to play' right?"

Lin Ze laughed, but Yu Hao said, "Actually, studying psychology also has an impact."

Lin Ze said: "So the books you've read are all useful."

Yu Hao asked, "Did Teacher Jin ever..."

Lin Ze said: "You are familiar with him, he will naturally tell you, I will not gossip."

that night.

"You're going to be a private detective?" Yu Hao asked.

"What kind of private detective." Zhou Sheng tasted the lotus root soup in front of the induction stove and replied, "It's a folk paparazzi. I'll show you around in a few days and you'll know. It's really not dangerous. Come, let's eat."

Yu Hao was afraid that Zhou Sheng would be in danger, but with Zhou Sheng's skill, as long as he didn't get involved in any major matters, Zhou Sheng himself should also be measured. In the first few days, Yu Hao kept questioning him what he was doing. Zhou Sheng showed him the induction training materials, and Yu Hao felt a little more at ease.

"Do whatever you want." Zhou Sheng came back in the evening, opened "Western Economics", had already read one-fifth of it, and began to review and prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination. After a week of simple induction training, Zhou Sheng's first job was to help a wealthy wife find a private detective to take evidence of her husband's cheating and opening a house.

Yu Hao glanced at Zhou Sheng's photo and said, "How long does it take to get this shot?"

Zhou Sheng came out of the shower and said, "We've been in the car with her husband for three days, and it's almost time."

At first, Yu Hao felt that this profession was too unreal, but Lin Ze, Zhou Sheng, and Jin Weicheng all seemed to regard it as a normal profession, but Yu Hao seemed to be making a fuss.

"There are 30,000 to 40,000 investigators in the country." Lin Ze said, "Anyway, there are more than investigative reporters, and our profession is rare. We don't have the money to travel in muddy waters, and they still have money to collect. , the small life is flying, but you tell me, where is the rare?"

After Yu Hao finished the final draft, everyone was waiting for it this time. They would print out a copy and hold a meeting to give comments on the draft, discuss it once, and let Yu Hao read it again. Situ Ye also asked two editors in charge of the head office to come over and listen to Yu Hao read the manuscript.

"The deterioration of the environment cannot be delayed... Oh, why didn't I write the predicate." Yu Hao slapped himself on the face as he read it, took out his pen and underlined the sentence, and everyone burst into laughter.

"The topic of the first issue is very important." Jin Weicheng said, "You have to change it a few times."

Yu Hao looked at the drafted manuscripts. Everyone's opinions were divided. There were red circles all over the piles of manuscripts, so he had to nod his head and start editing.

Zhou Sheng took the subway another bus stop, carrying a sports bag, and came to the work unit as if he was going to the gym. From today onwards, you have to save some money, after all, you have to live. Zhou Sheng also brought a lunch box in his bag, which contained a bento made by Yu Hao. Yu Hao also learned to cook occasionally. Of course, most of the time he woke up in the morning, cooked a pot of rice, and then gave Zhou Sheng the dishes he had prepared separately last night. Code it, put it in the lunch box, and add some hot sauce.

In addition, prepare a pot of hand-brewed coffee for Zhou Sheng, lock it in a portable thermos, and let him take it to work.

Zhou Shengsheng lives in Ying, the mayor is in Ying City. He has never encountered such a demonic wind as Beijing is entering the winter. As soon as he exits the subway station, he has the illusion that the end of the world is coming, and he is almost blown away. After a simple training, the eldest was a woman in her 40s, wearing glasses and wearing a sharp blush. After chatting with Zhou Sheng for a while, the supervisor handed him a stack of documents and a recording for him to analyze.

This is a job of investigating commercial leaks. Zhou Sheng has to look for clues from Party A's conversation recordings and the stack of materials, sift out the rules, and make action plans. There will be discussions in the group in the afternoon.

"My target male, 39 years old, project manager, has been on business trips to Beijing all the year round. Party A suspects that he copied the company's core structure and handed it over to a competitor." Zhou Sheng said: "Living in Orange Crystal, The last time he appeared was the day before yesterday, the boss of a competitor, invited him to have dinner at Prince Kung's mansion..."

Zhou Sheng began to analyze, and finally gave a simple handwritten plan. He planned to follow the project manager for a period of time while he was still in Beijing. At the same time, the team sent people to assist him to follow up with the project manager. people.

The person in charge gave Zhou Sheng a brief training yesterday, ready to start separately. Not long after, the big boss of the investigation institute came. He was an old man who came to meet the newcomer. Zhou Sheng knew that he was introduced by Huang Ting, so the boss took a little bit of his attention and called the boss, and the two looked at each other. Zhou Sheng was stunned for a moment.

"Hello, kid, see you again."

Zhou Sheng immediately put his hands out and shook hands with the old man.

The old man's surname is Qin, his name is Qin Guodong, with a smile, but his eyes have the characteristics of a criminal investigator. He glanced at him from head to toe and said, "Zhou Sheng, Xiao Huang thinks highly of you, do your best."

Zhou Sheng laughed, Qin Guodong held his hand and patted Zhou Sheng's left arm unconsciously with one hand, which happened to be on the Golden Crow Wheel that Zhou Sheng was hiding in his sleeve, withdrew his hand, and the two separated.

After returning to his position, Zhou Sheng took the Golden Black Wheel out of his sweater sleeve, put it in his trouser pocket, and looked around.

"How is it today?" Yu Hao asked at home.

"Very good." Zhou Sheng said, "I now find that I am quite suitable for this job."

While Zhou Sheng told Yu Hao about his work, he checked the information of Qin Guodong and Xiao Jian, the executive director of the office, on the computer. He searched the Internet and found nothing.

Yu Hao glanced at the work content that Zhou Sheng brought back, and suspected that the key employees of the company had leaked business secrets - but before there was no evidence, he couldn't report the case, so he could only entrust a private investigator to investigate.

"The amount of this case is high. If it is done from scratch, if it goes well, there will be more than 3,000 commissions." Zhou Sheng said, and then entered "STA" and the firm's keywords on the computer to start the inquiry.

"That's a lot!" Yu Hao said, "We only wrote six hundred manuscripts."

Zhou Sheng smiled and said, "Would you like to write some chicken soup articles and vote for other public accounts?"

Yu Hao said, "I can't even edit the draft. I'm going crazy!"

After going through all the hardships, when Yu Hao could finally memorize the manuscript, Lin Ze signed it and went to publish the manuscript. The editor-in-charge has stamped it, the time has entered December, and it has been nearly ten days since he and Jin Weicheng went to interview.

"The manuscript is over." Lin Ze said, "It will be published tomorrow."

"Yeah!" Yu Hao almost shouted with his hands up, and couldn't help but ask, "Did the editor-in-chief say anything?"

Lin Ze: "As an editor-in-chief who has read countless manuscripts and survived the Cultural Revolution, do you think she would say anything?"

Yu Hao thought about it too. For him, this issue had put all his hard work into it, but in the eyes of the editor-in-chief, it was just an ordinary manuscript. If he was willing to take the time to read it, it would be a good deal.

Lin Ze added: "It's not difficult to go through the manuscript once, but it's difficult to pass the manuscript again and again. Everyone won't accompany you to pick mistakes every time. You have to rely on yourself."

Yu Hao thought that every topic in the future would be changed over and over again, and his life was filled with despair.

"Okay." Yu Hao said, "I will definitely work hard."

Lin Ze put the bag on his back, left the office with Yu Hao at last, locked the door, passed the subway station, Lin Ze said to Yu Hao, "Mr. Jin has many shortcomings, and similarly, each of us has many shortcomings, but I don't know if you have noticed it or not. By the way, he didn't hesitate to sign you on this issue, which is one of the reasons why he's part of our team."

Yu Hao was overwhelmed with emotion for a while, and said, "I understand."

Lin Ze nodded solemnly, waved at him, and left.

With the cold wind, Yu Hao looked up downstairs at home. Among the lights in the city, there was a light that was lit for him.

Are you eating fish head with chopped peppers or hot pot today? Or curry crab? Wearing heat-insulating gloves, Zhou Sheng put the semi-finished chestnut roast chicken into the microwave oven and set the time. With Conan on the TV, Yu Hao answered the phone and came in, changing his shoes in the hall. It had been less than a month since he moved in, and he was completely used to it, as if the house had been waiting for him here for a long time, waiting to be their home.

"I always feel that someone is watching me from behind." Zhou Shengchao said on the phone, "I don't know if I'm overthinking..."

When the door opened, Zhou Sheng said, "Hang up first, Yu Hao is back."

"Hmm..." Yu Hao was on the phone while wearing his earphones.

There were forms on the dining table, and Zhou Sheng bought a printer to make it easier for Yu Hao to read the manuscript at home.

He compared his two fingers, indicating that dinner would be eaten in twenty minutes, and then pressed the button on the rice cooker to start cooking. Yu Hao nodded and glanced at the watch on the table. It was the top three that Fu Liqun sent to Zhou Sheng. Monthly operating conditions and financing plans. Zhou Sheng glanced at Yu Hao's mobile phone, which read "Brother". Zhou Sheng wanted to pull out his earphones and turn on the speakerphone, and greeted Fu Liqun, but Yu Hao raised his hand to signal no.

Zhou Sheng thought about it and nodded.

Yu Hao: "Sometimes I also feel exhausted, but when I wake up the next day, it will be much better."

Fu Liqun: "...I can't tell the young master, you know? Yu Hao, I'm not hypocritical, but I think if I don't talk to someone else, I'll really be depressed."

"You won't be depressed." Yu Hao smiled, "It's just that the pressure is a bit high."

Fu Liqun: "I can't find your sister-in-law, I can't find Xia Lei, Li Yangming, I can't find my parents, I don't want to find the young master, I can only find you. "

Yu Hao said, "How many members do you have now?"

Fu Liqun said: "Twelve, there are two more under consideration, and most likely there is no drama. I can have a last dinner table."

Yu Hao laughed, and Fu Liqun said, "What I worry most about is not my determination, but their determination. Bian Qiang obviously doesn't want to do it, but he just can't show his feelings. Although Xia Lei didn't say anything, I know he will leave soon. Most of the members are drawn by him, but he also sees people. At first, he could rely on him. Now, he should also think that I have no ability, at least he has no resources, and he will not work too hard. After New Year's Day, graduate When the thesis opens, most of them will…”

Yu Hao said, "I understand, I really admire my leadership now. Even the boss's wife is shouting that she doesn't want to do it and wants to give up, but he was able to persevere like this."

Fu Liqun talked about his current predicament, most importantly, the differences between the partners. He hopes that Xia Lei can bring more member resources, but once the partners start to look down on him, he feels that the members of this gym rely on their own development, which means that they can do it themselves, and there is no shortage of this in the family. Qian, what do you want Fu Liqun to do

Moreover, the profit margin of the gym is thin, and most of the profits are made by selling fitness products to the students. As Lin Ze said, everyone does not believe that hard work can make you rich, and they are all looking for a profiteering industry. idea.

In other words, from the very beginning, Xia Lei and Bian Qiang had the idea of playing with Fu Liqun. I don’t think it’s fun now, just don’t play. How much are the shares worth? Give it all to Fu Liqun, can't you do it yourself

Zhou Sheng took off his microwave gloves, crossed Erlang's legs, lit a cigarette, and watched the operation of Fu Liqun's gym.

"When I was teaching the students today," Fu Liqun said, "for a moment, I suddenly felt that she was smiling and her eyes were a bit like your sister-in-law. You may not understand that feeling, so I'll just ask, it's a little offensive, Yu Hao. , during the three months in Beijing, have you ever been attracted to your boss, the boss' wife, or any other boy?"

Yu Hao thought for a while and said, "No. We video every day, I will miss him very much."

Fu Liqun said, "Your sister-in-law has just made a video with me twice. For a moment, I really thought about giving up. But within a few minutes, I felt so guilty. Cold water rushed down my head, I don't know if I cried at that time..."

"Brother." Yu Hao said.

Fu Liqun was drinking beer, wearing a sports vest, and sitting on the balcony at home. Half a year ago, he, Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao used to watch the stars here. The Milky Way in the mountains was beautiful.

He has been a fitness coach for a few months, but his figure is better than before, his muscles are firm, his shoulders are wide and his waist is narrow, and there is confusion between his eyebrows and eyes.

"I may close the gym." Fu Liqun said, "I can't make any money, and now I have to lose nearly a thousand in it every day."

Yu Hao's voice came from the earphones: "It will get better, others are losing money in the first year of catering."

Fu Liqun said: "I don't know how long I can hold on. I'm so sorry, Master, I'm sorry to you, but I don't want to tell the Master. I feel like I'm walking in a desert, I don't know how long it will take to get an oasis. ."

"I thought your sister-in-law was my oasis. I've been walking for a long time and have been looking for some water to drink, but no matter where I go, it's a mirage. I've been thinking about it several times these days, just like you said, every day I wanted to give up at night, but when I woke up in the morning, I gritted my teeth and continued to persevere.”

Yu Hao looked at Zhou Sheng, Zhou Sheng put it aside after reading the watch, and began to flip through his "Western Economics".

Yu Hao: "I understand this feeling too well, I almost told my boss several times that I would quit, but after thinking about it, let's do it, anyway, this is what you want to do, and you are also working hard for yourself. You don't want to do it any more."

Fu Liqun said, "If your sister-in-law is by my side, I think I can hold on no matter what. Don't mention it, are you home yet?"

"It's here." Yu Hao said, "Zhou Sheng found a job as a private detective, and we're ready to live in Beijing. I like this place very much."

Fu Liqun said, "Okay, if you can't do it, I'll come to join you."

Yu Hao said, "Very welcome, our sofa can be opened and used as a sofa bed."

Fu Liqun smiled and said, "I miss the years we have been together so much, so carefree. Hang up, I'll take a shower and go to class for the students."

Yu Hao hung up the phone, and Zhou Sheng knew what he said without asking. He washed his hands and served the dishes, a chestnut roast chicken, two cups of stewed pork ribs with Tianma, and fried a sweet Chinese cabbage. The two started to eat and asked each other about going to work today. How about it.

"Yeah, can't take it anymore?" Zhou Sheng said, "Xia Lei didn't like going to the gym at the beginning. That kid was very proud, so he would play with him. Bian Qiangren was lazy and couldn't bear hardships, so he would at most accompany him. He played for a few months and earned some internship experience, but he didn't even think about doing it as a career."

"Where's Yangming?" Yu Hao said.

"That kid has a lot of thoughts." Zhou Sheng added, "Jealousy is strong."

Yu Hao said, "Brother can recruit more people."

Zhou Sheng said: "Nowadays, many of those who are engaged in fitness are old fritters. Those who have the ability have opened their own private gyms. The rest of the people are messing around, and their elder brothers are tender. Who are the small bosses who don't fool the employees?"

Yu Hao said, "How much did you lose?"

Zhou Sheng replied: "Not much, I haven't paid out your camera money yet, it's trivial. The most fearful thing about starting a business is that the partners have their own plans. I took a survey, which happened to be the same thing, and the partners took back the deduction. "

Yu Hao: "How's it going?"

Zhou Sheng smiled and said: "Such a good friend, it's really disgusting in the end. So friends, don't do business together... When are you going to invite them to our new house? Oh, by the way, I haven't announced to Kai Kai again. What about Sovereign, the new house is moving, invite him to dinner?"

"You're here again." Yu Hao said, "Mr. Chen knew that you were in Beijing and never looked for me."

"You have to find him for your graduation thesis, right?" Zhou Sheng said, "Please ask him, and then call that boy Ou Qihang to come to our house for dinner? I haven't seen him for more than two years. By the way, I want to ask him about something. Ask about graduate students at their school."

Zhou Sheng still hadn't decided which postgraduate to go to, maybe he could actually be admitted to Wudaokou Institute of Technology, Yu Hao thought about it and said, "Then I'll find a chance to ask."

In December, a special topic on the battery factory in Guangxian was published in the newspaper.

It was the first time Yu Hao saw the power of the head office. Indeed, the strength of this newspaper was completely worthy of its style—the second edition of social news headlines, heavy news! Immediately afterwards, major news apps, portal websites, and WeChat public accounts all began to be reprinted. A lot of chicken soup public accounts with 100,000 reads are chasing this hot spot.

"Congratulations to Mr. Jin." Lin Ze read this "Story Meeting" and said, "Once again, it has detonated a major hot spot in the national media."

Situ Ye said: "A large number of reporters have rushed to the scene, and some of them have headaches."

For the first time, Yu Hao was overwhelmed by his own manuscript. All the reprints used his manuscript, including his introduction, factual description, and statistics from Jin Weicheng. Yu Hao flipped over and looked at his own work. The signature was investigative reporter Jin Weicheng, followed by intern editor Yu Hao.

Jin Weicheng said, "It's been five years! Fuck, it's getting harder and harder for the media to do it."

Jin Weicheng took a small bottle of Erguotou, poured out the wine to toast with the three, and drank it. Jin Weicheng said calmly: "I went to interview, Xiaoyu don't pile up manuscripts, and do it as soon as possible."

Yu Hao said, "It's too good, it's too good!"

Weibo, WeChat, portal, even a pop-up window is a battery factory.
