I want to be a better person for you

When Wang Xiaofei came to gouge my door, I hadn't gotten up yet.

Pushing aside the duvet that had warmed me all night, I pulled my loose bun to open the door.

"Sister, have you heard?" he rolled in unceremoniously, almost kicking over the overnight instant noodles on my table.

I said I'm a journalist, and I have ears to hear, what are you referring to?

"That's the one you reported on last time. High school girls sit on the stage beer girls. Remember?"

I thought to myself as I brushed my teeth, it seemed like it was more than a month ago. At that time, there was a lot of saliva, and the whole public opinion was divided into two factions.

As a result, the attention of our newspaper's official account increased by 20%, for which the leader gave me a bonus, and now it has become a brand-new professional camera hanging around my brother's neck!

I walked out with a ponytail and I said I remember. This kind of thing, just like lace consumer goods, will soon fade out of the streets and alleys after people's tea and dinner.

"Well, remember, why are you mentioning this?"

"The person involved committed suicide last night. Wang Xiaofei blinked his little eyes, and as soon as the words came out, the lotion in my hand was directly squeezed out of most of the tube.

"What did you say?"

"That fifteen-year-old girl committed suicide by slitting her wrists at home last night. But it's not a big deal, it's saved. Wang Xiaofei said that people can choose 10,000 ways to die, but the mortality rate of cutting wrists has never been high.

First of all, the pain will make many people daunted at the moment of the knife, and secondly, ...... Most people instinctively cut along the clearest green vessel, which is actually a vein, and the artery is purplish-red.

I let out a soft oh and went back to the bathroom to clean up the mess.

I was indeed responsible for that report. I think it's the most satisfying case of the year.

On the day of the incident, our newspaper received a notice that there was a drunken brawl and wounding incident at the KTV on Nanshan Street. Of course, I rushed over as soon as possible.

Supervisors often teach us that a truly competent journalist must not only be able to listen and run, but also have a keen eye to discover the deeper problems beneath the incident. Come and ask for the public's attention.

And so that day. As fellow reporters flocked to the killers, victims, and efficient police officers. I was the only one who found the timid eyes in the background.

I intuitively concluded that the little girl who sold beer was underage.

In this way, I dug up a bland public security news to a new height of human nature-

We investigated the girl's family background and learned that she was a high school student at a university in the city, her father was in prison, her mother was disabled, and she had to take care of her blind grandmother and young brother. Oops, the whole history of bitter cauliflower struggle.

Next, we called on the school to give her a tuition waiver. called on the society to donate money for her, and even I took out a little savings to express my gratitude......

is a girl who doesn't know what to do, and she actually committed suicide.

"Sister," Xiao Fei slipped into the kitchen and stabbed me, "Do you think we did something wrong?"

I was using a blade of ham, and I was hit by his ghostly blow and finger, and cut my hand directly.

"Wrong fart!" I yelled at him irritably: "I am a journalist, and the duty of a journalist is to expose all kinds of phenomena in society and report truthfully. I...... I'm helping her!"

"But she's only fifteen years old after all, so this kind of attention-"

"When I was fifteen years old, I had already begun to work and study to support you! Life is already very difficult, do you have any reason to be weak!" I slapped my knife on the cutting board and ran into my small bedroom, which was only ten square meters, in a huff.

I said Wang Xiaofei, we also have to make a living, and we also have to eat. I didn't hurt the heavens and reason, and I repented!

"Let's go! Today, the director has something important to talk to me about. ”

Locked Wang Xiaofei in the room and cleaned up the house for me, and I squeezed into the cold winter bus alone.

My name is Wang Tianyu and I am Chinese New Year's Eve years old. I've been single since my ex-boyfriend, who had been in college with me all year ago, got into a rich girl's sports car.

I am an orphan with a younger brother who is seven years younger.

When my parents died in a car accident when I was eight years old, I was kicked around like a ball by my relatives while I was holding my baby and ended up in an orphanage.

It's not that I'm cold-blooded, it's just that my premature maturity and pressure make me see the warmth and coldness of people. I chose the journalist profession because no matter how prosperous it is, I can maintain an objective and fair heart.

I have been a reporter at Today's Media Newspaper for five years, and Xiaofei also went to university the year before last, majoring in news photography, and will follow me for an internship during the winter and summer vacations.

That news a few months ago was the first one I took him to run.

Many people have told me what the ethics of a journalist are—truthfulness, fairness, openness, and self-discipline.

I don't think I've violated any of these articles.,What I'm exposing is a social phenomenon.,What I'm attacking is the fact that the KTV boss hires minors.,I'm helping a girl who has lost her footing on the verge -

Nima, why should I be thrown rotten eggs!

"Wang Tianyu, you go to die!" As soon as I got out of the community, the lame woman frantically threw a rotten egg at me: "What a good girl we are Honghong, we are all harmed like this by you!"

At this moment, there are a lot of people who don't know the truth gathered around, and a handful of people with ulterior motives are already whispering whether to report to the relevant departments supported by a large number of experts and scholars!

I looked at the woman in front of me, and I donated the down on her shoulders......

"We are still so young children, if you really want to do good deeds, you shouldn't write those words...... How can she stand it, what do her classmates think of her at school!"

I want to say that this is the truth, she is a minor child laborer, and she is half-pushed and half-done in a mixed place like KTV, I ...... I'm not lying.

But why, when I look at this woman's resolute appearance, I can't really be right?

When I entered the company in frustration, the old boss in charge of menopause immediately reprimanded me:

"Xiao Tian, why did you come, didn't you say that I had something important to talk to you at ten o'clock today?"

I let out an absent-hearted sigh and said that I was drenched by a sprinkler truck when I went out, and went home to take a shower and change clothes.

Is there a sprinkler truck on the street around Christmas? I was talking so much nonsense, but I didn't expect my old boss to believe it.

Getting back to the point, she took out a stack of materials and threw them to me: "Xiao Tian, I'll leave this interview to you." ”

Interview?!

Those in the industry know that such a good job as an interview cannot be compared with timely news exposed to the wind and sun all day long.

Moreover, the subjects of the interviews are generally high-quality people with some social status or academic particularity. In the first half of the year, a little girl was directly promoted to the second wife because she did an interview with a real estate developer...... Phew, say something positive.

"Mr. Li, I knew you loved me!" "Seriously, during this period of time, I ran the news and ran a little bit of a herniated disc in my waist, and I couldn't wait to have an exclusive interview, dress up like the host every day, and run to the target task to drink tea and chat leisurely.

As soon as I fell asleep and came to the soft pillow, I couldn't wait to open the file bag in my hand-

Su Beiwang, President of Qisu Group?!

I said, what kind of tricks does this man have? Isn't he just a businessman?

And I've always been responsible for the news section of the people's livelihood and the world, shouldn't objects like Su Beiwang be handed over to colleagues in the financial and business section to take over?

"Who asked you to visit his company's market value, and what is the future development plan!" Li Tiemei glared at me: "Let you take a good look at his information, our interview this time is to be exclusive and unique!"

I lowered my head in confusion and counted the thick stack of materials in my hand like counting bills.

After reading it, my face darkened, I said these are true? Mr. Li, I love you to death, where did you buy so many **!

I think I can write the first half of Su Beiwang's life into a bloody TV series!

"You don't care about that, someone buys it, someone sells it. Li Tiemei patted me on the shoulder meaningfully: "We decided to serialize this interview in the most conspicuous position on the front page, whether we can convince him or not depends on you!"

"What?" I was stunned for a moment, and I said that your channel has not been contacted yet, and he himself has not agreed?

"Uh-huh. Li Tiemei put on a cute aunt's face.

I blew up on the spot, I said that Su Beiwang is a businessman and not a lace star, how could he agree with us to report on his private life!

"It's so easy to do, what else do I want you to do?" Li Tiemei looked at me ambiguously while looking at her newly made nails: "Xiao Tian, your brother Xiaofei is a good child, and he will graduate next year, right?"

I like him a lot, and I'm thinking of talking to the president to sign a formal internship contract with him. Of course, I'm going to tout how good his sister is, and how difficult she can do it—"

I stood up righteously, and I said Mr. Li, don't worry, I will live up to the expectations of the organization!

When I came to the front desk of Qisu Group Building, I flashed my press card and said that I had made an appointment. At three o'clock this afternoon, Mr. Su agreed to give me an hour for an interview.

It is not difficult to get close to Subeiwang. In a certain circle, he is considered a specific public figure. Whether it is a press conference or a private interview, he has received a lot of them.

So on this usual afternoon, I was invited into his little conference room.

It was the first time I had really looked at this man from such a close angle -

Compared to the distance between the photographs and the frame, he himself does not show a particularly difficult temperament.

Dressed in a proper business suit, with Sven's rimless glasses, sharp eyebrows, and thin lips. When he got up to shake my hand, he smiled gentlemanly and professionally.

Makes me feel ...... He didn't think I was special at all.

I'm an experienced journalist, and I think I can quickly bring people into my circle to get my information.

"Mr. Su, according to some information we have, oh, I mean there are rumors that you and your twin brother are not the biological sons of the Su family. Right?"

I stumbled the stairs without shame, just tentatively wandering around the margins of the topic, trying to see his first reaction.

"Yes. ”

I boldly continued to ask: "So, I would like to ask Mr. Su, a few years ago, was it out of a dispute and conflict in the interests of the family when your adoptive father suddenly announced your life history and took away all the rights of your executive director in Qisu in one fell swoop? What did you think at that time?"

Su Beiwang: "......"

I wonder if this topic has been cut too intensely all at once. Or soften it a little bit and play a positive family card?

"Oh, and of course I heard that you were in urgent need of a liver transplant because of cancer, and the most critical time was that your adoptive father volunteered to donate his liver to save you. Is there something going on in this that makes you release your suspicions and realize the value of family affection?"

Su Beiwang: "......"

Still no response? I can't figure it out, could it be that I opened it the wrong way?

As journalists, we are not afraid of the other party's tears, the other party's excitement, and even less of the other party's anger, because as long as there is emotion, it means that our questioning has an effect.

But Su Beiwang didn't seem to hear this face, what does it mean?

Another trigger point! I secretly made up my mind --

"Mr. Su, I'm curious, why didn't your brother, who is the twins of the same clan, donate to you when you were in danger?

"Song Night. Su Beiwang rolled his eyes lightly and spit out two words.

I saw a tall young man rushing through the door and bowing his head respectfully at him: "Mr. Su, what are your orders?"

"The tea is cold," Su Beiwang looked at the tea in front of him, and raised his eyebrows: "Splash it." ”

"This ......" the man named Song Ye suddenly hesitated.

"Spill it. When Su Beiwang repeated his command, I watched his assistant pick up the teacup and splash it on my face!!

"Miss Wang, don't send it. Su Beiwang stood up and left, leaving me to sit in place with my head dirty.

What the hell!

I returned to the club with a stomach full of anger, picked up my notebook and typed a tofu block, strongly demanding to be in the headlines of tomorrow.

The title is called "Tea Splash Weak Female Reporter, Where is the Cultivation of the Domineering President?]

Of course, the result was that he was scolded by Mr. Li for being bloody-

"How many years have you been a journalist! How can you do things so brainlessly?

While I was so aggrieved that I didn't want it, I said: "I've done a strategy, for a man like him, it's useless to pretend, it's better to go straight to the grumpy therapy." ”

"What about the result? Hasn't he been splashed back like a chicken in soup?" Teacher Li said, "Why do you think you are so stupid? How many ways do you want to approach him as a thirty-year-old golden bachelor?"

I subconsciously pulled my neckline, I said you want me to be seductive?

"Why are you a bear child?" Li Tiemei hated that iron could not become steel: "Look at our society, what other girl is so old that she can't get married?"

Can you have a snack?"

I know that Mr. Li really cares for me and is really worried about me. All kinds of blind date photos sent to me over the years can circle the globe.

But only I understand that being single for a long time is addictive.

"Forget it, when I didn't say it. Anyway, I'll give you half a month at most, if you can't do it, go to the front line and become a war correspondent in country X!"

Li Tiemei is just scaring and scaring me, so she is reluctant to let me suffer.

When I went back to the rental house that night, I pulled Fei Fei and forced him to give me ideas.

"Sister," he stared at me for a long time as if he didn't know me before he spoke, "Why do I think you're getting weirder and weirder now? ”

I slapped him directly, I said you stinky boy, this is about to graduate and unload the mill and kill the donkey, isn't it the time to treat me as a god cash cow?

"Sister, don't say that, I ......" Xiao Fei hung his head and fiddled with his hands: "I think you should find a man to fall in love with, otherwise you will become a cold-blooded old virgin sooner or later."

Take today's incident as an example, I think Su Beiwang poured your sulfuric acid on you because you brought it on yourself.

You said that you took a knife to poke someone's scar, and you wondered why other people hurt?

When did you become so devastated?"

I said aggrievedly, I'm a journalist, it's my job. What others want to see, what news is good to buy, I should work hard to fight for it? What's wrong with me?

Wang Xiaofei clicked twice and said that he was leaving. I asked a girl to shoot body art tonight!

I was so angry that I picked up a pillow and smashed him: "I spent so much money to buy you a camera, not for you to shoot girls!"

"Heh, I'd rather shoot really beautiful girls than shoot those so-called 'news**' that are not nutritious. ”

After Wang Xiaofei left, my heart was empty. I don't know what's wrong, but I always feel that the last look in Su Beiwang who turned around and stared at me today followed the magic that made people feel bored when they breathed.

I decided to go out to breathe, and as I walked, I walked into the green space of the street park.

I often come here, not only because of the elegant and peaceful environment, but also because there is a group of friends here who I can't let go of.

Stray cats are the proudest soul messengers in this city, shuttling through the sight of everyone, but they can never be acquainted.

I come over once in a while to feed it, not out of much kindness. Because some people say that stray cats themselves will have the ability of stray predators, if they always fix the time and take it as a responsibility to provide them with food, it will actually wear out their nature to resist external forces.

So I don't pick the best cat food brands to buy...... If you bite it, you won't be able to suffer in the future.

Well, I admit it's because I don't have any money!

With a monthly salary of 7,500 yuan, I have to pay off the mortgage of 3,000 yuan, support Xiaofei's tuition, and send 1,000 yuan to the orphanage......

I can't afford to buy eight yuan a bag of high-end cat food, so I just have to make do with it!

I leaned down and poured the food into a broken plastic bowl under the park bench—

"That's for water. Hearing the voice of a man behind me, I turned my head awe-inspiringly.

Su Beiwang was wearing a long black tweed coat and a gray-white scarf, which looked a bit like En, the leader of the student movement at the beginning of the last century.

I took two steps back a little embarrassed, and let him come forward and pour half a bottle of mineral spring into the bowl.

At this time, two yellow kittens came out of the bush belt and leaned in to lick them.

After drinking and sleeping, I started barking at the cat food in my hand.

"The two of them were born around eleven, and I thought they wouldn't survive the winter. I didn't expect it to grow to two months old in a flash. Su Beiwang said.

I whispered and said you come here often.

"I don't come often, sometimes I call my assistant. Su Beiwang squatted down and gently stroked the cat's back.

I couldn't understand his train of thought a little, and I said that since I like it, why don't I raise one?

He sneered: "If you like it, you have to have it, have you thought about the feelings of cats? ”

I said yes, and I can't accompany her often, and I can't have children with her, the so-called captivity is just to make myself happy.

"If you give her the gold house and the silver house and the dried fish house, it can't be compared to the wild cat outside to seduce her, haha...... Hahaha. I thought that my jokes were very good at adjusting the atmosphere, but Su Beiwang unceremoniously glanced at me with a neurotic look.

He said he was leaving: "You're not going back? ”

I swallowed and followed gently, too close to me. Walked two steps, sighed twice, walked in a hurry, and didn't bring gloves and hats.

Then I felt that there was a furry hair in front of me, and a scarf fell from the sky.

I whispered thank you, then lowered my head and sniffed.

The scarf has a hint of camphor on it, which should ...... It's the smell of his wardrobe.

"Today, I'm really sorry. I plucked up the courage and said, "But I ...... It's a journalist. ”

"Now that you know that you are a journalist, you should be very clear about the meaning of journalism and what kind of line should be drawn by the conscience of the media.

Do you want to write my story...... Have you ever actually come into my life to see clearly?"

"Huh?!" I was shocked: "You...... Allow me to ......"

"I don't give you permission to do anything, see for yourself with long eyes, and listen for yourself with long ears. But please don't disturb my life. ”

And so I began a two-week follow-up investigation.

Su Beiwang often works overtime, but never sleeps all night.

He eats on time and takes a nap in the afternoon. He occasionally goes to the gym and doesn't drink alcohol in business settings.

When I pass by the convenience store downstairs, I will buy breakfast for the next day. Sometimes it's milk and toast, sometimes it's quick-frozen multigrain steamed buns. I think it may be because he had a serious illness, he pays more attention to health and health, and does not do things that overdraft his life.

He has a part-time worker who often comes to his home and prepares three meals for him.

In those days, it was snowy and slippery, and I saw that he would drive the old aunt to the supermarket to buy. Help her carry her upstairs when she gets home.

His sister would come to visit him from time to time, and his brother really looked exactly like him.

His brother has two well-behaved twin daughters, who are only two or three years old. He loves them very much, and he is not at all like the rumors, saying that there is discord between brothers and jealousy of women.

One day I hid behind a sign in the community, watching Su Beiwang walk over and talking on the phone.

"Don't worry, Dad, I have regular check-ups. Well, you also have to pay attention to your body, Mom, how are you?

Scold...... I'm not in a hurry, no one can say anything like fate. ”

I can feel from his words that he has been forced to marry by his adoptive parents again! It's time, people in their thirties have no whereabouts, and you don't have to hurry up a little bit after your brother has given birth to two!

That day, I stood downstairs under him for a long, long time. I suddenly realized how ridiculous it was to be what I had been working on!

Su Beiwang's life is actually very ordinary and simple, just like us ordinary people. There is his happiness, his loneliness, his cherishment, and his distress.

No one can use any kind of high-sounding reason to send other people's lives to the naked pulpit.

Whether it's moral kidnapping or charity black holes, we don't have this right!

"Hey, today's New Year's Day, come up and eat!"

Just as I was in a daze, the upstairs window suddenly opened.

I reached out to catch the snowflakes and also the invitation.

The food cooked by Su Beiwang is not delicious at all, but it is very healthy.

He said that healthy things are not delicious, because the so-called good is just more oil, more salt and more sugar.

But I still ate a lot, and I cried when I finished eating.

I said I need to find a place to re-examine my three views, thank you, goodbye.

When I went to work on Monday, I submitted an application to Mr. Li.

I said I was going to take the initiative to apply to go to country X to be a war correspondent.

At that time, Li Tiemei was frightened: "Xiao Tian, are you okay......! I just said it casually, it doesn't matter if I can't take Su Beiwang, I still have a coal boss here, the big wife and the little wife live under the same roof, and it attracts attention when you pick it up!"

For the first time, I slapped the table and got angry with the teacher I respected, and I said enough! I really don't want to spend the rest of my life doing this kind of meaningless thing!

I'm going to country X, I'm back, I'm a hero, I've sacrificed, please call me a martyr.

I said I wasn't married, I didn't have children, I only had a little flop.

He adored me most from a young age, and I cherish him more than anything else in this world.

But I don't want his most respected sister to die in the middle of nothing.

Mr. Li, I've already decided.

I'll be gone after the New Year, Country X, the other side of the world that only appears on TV on the map. The perennial civil war due to ethnic conflicts, the crisis of faith, and the shortage of food and water have brought everything here closer to hell.

Before leaving, I went to visit the little girl named Honghong. I left a sum of money for others, but I didn't leave a word more.

Then I made a call to Su Beiwang. I didn't tell him where I went, I just said thank you.

Say it as resolutely as the last words. Without waiting for any reaction from him, I turned off my phone and went to the security checkpoint.

Xiao Fei reluctantly stood outside to see me off, I said you have to be strong, sister will earn you a medal over there.

In the future, you will be able to boast that your sister is a person who has been on the battlefield.

Xiaofei said, you can go in peace, I will find a brother-in-law for you here.

"Get out!"

The theme of war is eternally cruel, and civilians are lonely and helpless in the depths of misery.

In the first month of arriving in country X, along with my long documentary report, I was sent back to China with a finger from my personal videographer.

He died right in front of my eyes, and a bomb landed in an open field two meters from him. I couldn't find anything but this remain.

I began to face death more calmly, the displaced refugees, the pervasive plague, the lack of medical care, and every minute and every second of the wedding dress for death.

That day, the army found a baby from the rubble that had just been hit by an air raid, and his mother had been stiff for a long time. Not a drop of milk could be squeezed out of his cold chest.

The child was crying so much that he was about to die, and I, as the only woman on the scene, was obligated to hold him in my arms.

I lifted my clothes and showed my beautiful chest to the child who was waiting to be fed, even if his life was like an ant in purgatory, I still wanted every second of his breath to be as peaceful as in his mother's arms.

I didn't have children, and I didn't think about having children. I thought that a woman would only have such a desperate desire to be a mother when she had a man who was willing to bear children for him.

I thought: If my child were to have a father, who should he be?

Why, such a clear face, such a familiar breath poured into my mind without hesitation. I...... Are you in love?

That night, once again, the base I was in was hit by a gap.

There was a series of explosions in my ears, and the wind from shrapnel brushing my ears was almost always scorching.

I was half buried in the dirt, and it was with great difficulty that I found my phone that was ringing but had a low signal.

Spit out the mud and sand in my mouth, and I said hello?

"Wang Tianyu, where are you!"

I could hear that it was Su Beiwang's voice.

I smiled and said that I was at the top of the olive branch of peace, at the top of life. I'm not afraid of death at all, but I ...... Missed you so much.

Then I heard the rumbling helicopter outside the broken tent as if it were about to tear through the bloody night.

Squinting, I staggered to my feet. I scratched my shoulder, which was almost numb from the pain, but it was okay, but it was cut by shrapnel, and my arm was still there.

The arm is still there, does that mean I still have a chance...... can hug you.

"The government is already organizing the evacuation of overseas Chinese, I have been staring at the list of returnees since a week ago, and I can't find you one by one!" Su Beiwang angrily took me out of the dilapidated tent: "Wang Tianyu, I can respect your career, but you ...... Can you understand my determination?

Finally, a woman who didn't know Su Xihang appeared in my life, and I didn't want her to be blown into wreckage and sent to me.

Come home with me!"
