Chapter 60 Urgent Tasks

Typhoon Lisa is exactly as predicted by the Meteorological Observatory and is approaching Zhuhai and Macao at high speed, and is expected to make landfall along the northern coast at around 3:30 a.m. tomorrow.

Half an hour ago, Bai Bing gave Ivy a new task, to make a set of inventory-type reports, interviewing people who are still sticking to their posts in the wind and rain, including firefighters, police, buses, sanitation and electrical workers, etc.

There was a severe shortage of manpower in the department, and even an intern like Owen, who had only been on the job for two days, had to be sent to take on the camera work.

Ivy contacted several units, wrote an interview outline, and prepared to go.

Cameras, tripods, microphones, batteries, Blu-ray discs, rain gear, Owen repeatedly checked all the gear he needed to go out for an interview.

"Ready?" said Ivy, eager to try.

"Well, let's go. Owen carried a black shoulder bag with equipment on his back and a tripod in one hand.

"Wait. Ivy tilted her head, her gaze resting on his tie. "You're dressed like you're going to a concert, so it's going to be inconvenient to get to work. Do you want to take your tie off?"

“No。 Owen said dryly, "The tie is very important to me. ”

Wow, this guy is really handsome all the time. Ivy wrinkled her nose and muttered inwardly.

The interview car was already waiting at the gate. The two walked out side by side.

As soon as Ivy stepped into the interview car with one foot, the cell phone in her pocket rang.

"Hey, Sister Bing. I'm getting ready to go...... Huh? It's so serious...... Okay, I'll be there soon. ”

Hanging up the phone, Ivy said to Owen: "The task has changed, Sister Bing asked us to go to President Liu's office immediately." ”

The director's office was open, and Liu Jianyong was sitting at his desk, answering the phone. Wu Youwei, Bai Bing, Fan Jingjing, and several colleagues from the editorial department sat around the conference table next to them, discussing something in a low voice with serious expressions.

Seeing Ivy and Owen appear at the door, Bai Bing raised his hand and motioned for them to come in and sit down.

"Yes, understood. I will arrange for reporters to arrive at the scene as soon as possible, so you can rest assured. ”

Liu Jianyong hung up the phone with a solemn look on his face. He looked down and jot down a few lines in his notebook, then got up and walked to the conference table.

Ivy read the emergency notice from the city that a landslide had occurred at a theme park under construction in Tai O Bay, and the landslide that poured down buried the construction shed, and it was unclear how many workers were in the shed.

The theme park is a project of Galaxy Group, which has been under construction for more than half a year. The city has set up a disaster relief headquarters and organized a rescue team of more than 30 people to rush to the scene for rescue.

Director Yu made several requirements for this report on the phone, and it is necessary to connect the scene in each special report, and it is necessary to present the most real, objective and timely accident situation. Liu Jianyong instructed.

Bai Bing said embarrassedly: "The reporters in the department were all sent out to do special reports on the typhoon, and there was only one reporter on standby in Taiwan, plus an intern. ”

"The station leaders are very aware of our difficulties, and have temporarily dispatched four reporters from other channels to support this report. So when it comes to manpower, you don't have to worry. Liu Jianyong then explained.

Bai Bing nodded with relief, she glanced at the time, there was still nearly an hour before the next punctual news. She turned to Ivy and said, "You and Owen immediately rush to the scene of the incident and try to make the first joint coverage of the landslide disaster in the special report at 8 o'clock in the evening." I will arrange for my colleagues in the editorial department to find as much background information as possible to support you. ”

Ivy nodded excitedly in agreement. Fan Jingjing, who was sitting opposite her, quickly exchanged glances with her, and stretched out his thumb to make a cheering gesture.

"Ahem. ”

As soon as Bai Bing's words fell, Wu Youwei cleared his throat, and his two little eyes blinked a few times quickly. He straightened up from the back of his chair and asked unceremoniously, "Has Ivy ever done a live broadcast connection before?"

"She ......" Bai Bing was speechless for a moment, and he didn't know what Editor-in-Chief Wu's intention was to raise this question at this moment.

"No, I haven't done it. Seeing that Bai Bing didn't speak, Ivy took the initiative to answer.

Wu Youwei raised his chin and said in a cohesive tone: "I said Bai Bing, for such an important job, it's not appropriate to send an inexperienced reporter and an intern who has just been here for two days, right?"

Bai Bing sighed in embarrassment, and explained directly to Liu Jianyong: "You also know that the department is understaffed. Besides, everybody has their first time, right? I'm sure Ivy and Owen are up to the task. ”

Before Liu Jianyong could answer, Wu Youwei said-for-tat: "This is a real battle, you should be a post training, who is responsible for any mistakes?"

But this is also a helpless way, in order to do a good special report, the other reporters in the department are all outside to interview. Bai Bing responded with reason.

Wu Youwei seemed to be waiting for Bai Bing's words, his eyes rolled, revealing a fox-like cunning gaze, and he took the opportunity to help Hu Ziyue fight: "I know that manpower is tight, isn't Hu Ziyue connecting in Tai O Bay, so she can take care of both ends." ”
