Chapter Eighty-Three: The Peak Turns Around
Liu Jianyong is Bai Bing's college brother and her teacher when she came to Taili for an internship. He had in his mind the appearance of Bai Bing when he first worked - he came first and left last every day, always liked to fight unevenly during interviews, and often caused some trouble.
He clearly remembers that in the second year after Bai Bing joined the company, he planned a special report on child abduction and trafficking on his own. During the unannounced visit, due to her lack of experience, she was hit by traffickers and suffered a mild concussion, but fortunately, the police arrived in time to save her life.
On another occasion, a doctor-patient dispute occurred at the central hospital, and the patient's family lost control of their emotions and not only injured the attending doctor, but also kidnapped a pregnant nurse. When Bai Bing arrived at the scene, the police had not yet arrived, and in order to protect the hostages, she took the initiative to ask to exchange herself with the hostages.
Over the years, she has been in charge of her work, but her life has been a mess, and if it weren't for her love and drive for journalism, she wouldn't be where she is now.
Bai Bing spoke slowly, "Senior brother, do you remember what you said to me before?" The voice at the bottom is too faint to be heard if you don't listen attentively. β
Liu Jianyong squinted his eyes and looked at the picture frame on his desk. In the frame is his graduation photo from college, in which he has clear eyes and high spirits.
His thoughts were brought back to the green years of the past, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: At that time, why didn't he have a brave and honest heart and dare to act?
"When I first joined the company, you said impassionedly at the new employee meeting that we must adhere to a righteous heart in order to be worthy of the responsibility and mission of journalists. When I was young, I didn't understand the meaning of these words, and I always thought they were just empty words, clichΓ©s. But as my experience increases, I feel more and more that your words are good words. β
Bai Bing's eyes are resolute, his tone is firm, and in every sentence, there is a force that penetrates people's hearts.
Liu Jianyong fell into deep thought. In recent years, especially after I embarked on a career in office, there were too many things to scruple and weigh, and unconsciously, the ideals and dedication I once upheld in journalism have gradually worn out.
There was silence in the office.
Tuk tuk, there was a knock at the door.
"Enter!" Liu Jianyong came back to his senses.
"Mr. Liu, I have something to report. Wu Youwei poked his head into the office, pushed the door in, and Hu Ziyue followed behind him.
"Sit down, you two. Liu Jianyong raised his hand towards the two.
"The city just called, highly affirmed our special report, and specifically named Xiaohu, saying that her report has speed, depth and strength. Wu Youwei said with a smug face.
Hu Ziyue sat on the chair, pretending to be modest and lowering her eyes, glancing at Liu Jianyong's expression from time to time.
"Good, everyone's worked hard. Liu Jianyong nodded, "You write a summary report as soon as possible, report it to the Taiwan leaders first, and then report it to the Propaganda Department." β
"Don't worry, I've thought of the framework, and I'll be able to finish the first draft tonight. Wu Youwei replied confidently, he helped his glasses, and said in embarrassment: "Mr. Liu, now the department is talking about Aiwei, and the impact is very bad." β
"What did you say? Liu Jianyong propped his elbows on the table and glanced back and forth at the three people in front of him.
"Well, I didn't hear it with my own ears. Wu Youwei hesitated for a moment and turned to Hu Ziyue, "Xiao Hu, what are your colleagues talking about, you should be clearer, report to Mr. Liu." β
Why do you want me to say it, it looks like I'm gossiping. Shrinking the head of the turtle, knowing to hide at the critical moment, Hu Ziyue pursed her lips and scolded in her heart.
As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw that Mr. Liu was staring at her, so she had to bite the bullet and say, "Well, they said that Ai Wei acted without authorization and caused so much trouble, all in order to fight for a position and take the interview discipline inappropriately...... Something like that. β
"Nonsense, she's not that kind of person! She almost lost her life for an unannounced visit. Bai Bing retorted, even more uncomfortable than being wronged, "Besides, hasn't the contractor surnamed Ding already been arrested? β
In front of Liu Jianyong, Hu Ziyue didn't want to have an argument with Bai Bing. Like a child who has been scolded, she bowed her head aggrievedly and stopped talking.
Wu Youwei came out to help at this time, and said in a mocking tone: "Then why didn't she ask for instructions and report before the secret visit? Didn't she want to steal credit? There is no organization and no discipline, and this will affect the unity and morale of the department." β
Bai Bing stood up suddenly, "The most important thing for a reporter is to restore the truth, not to obey discipline!"
"You, you ......" Wu Youwei twitched the corners of his mouth, and was speechless.
"Alright. Liu Jianyong made a statement, his tone was very resolute, "Ai Wei is also for work, although there are some flaws in the procedure, but considering that the situation was urgent at the time, she herself also encountered great danger, so this matter will not be pursued too much." β
Hu Ziyue had an incredible expression, glanced at Wu Youwei, and urged with his eyes: You hurry up and oppose it!
