Chapter 116: A Mysterious Huge Donation
What happened later, Cheng Yu realized that although Tao Hong only worked a few years longer than himself, Tao Hong's work experience was indeed richer than his own, and his judgment of things was much deeper than his own.
After the Leba news incident, Cheng Yu felt that his colleagues in the editorial department had a subtle change in their attitude towards him. First of all, Liu Dazhui is not as enthusiastic about himself as before. Lang Kefa is neither yin nor yang, neither hot nor cold, and deliberately keeps a distance from himself. Other colleagues waited for the rest of the story with a wait-and-see attitude.
Sai Chanjuan has long changed from love to hatred for Cheng Yu. Since Tao Hong and Cheng Yu's series of reports on thieves on the bus have been well received by the whole city, the leaders of the newspaper have praised this report for a period of time, and the cooperation between Cheng Yu and Tao Hong has become more and more natural. Some people have already called Cheng Yu and Tao Hong a pair of golden boys and girls in Metropolis Daily, which made Sai Chanjuan's vinegar jar burn. Especially on a few occasions, Sai Chanjuan invited Cheng Yu to attend the company's press conference together, and Cheng Yu said that she wanted to interview Tao Hong about people's livelihood news, which made Sai Chanjuan conclude that Tao Hong and Cheng Yu must have that relationship.
"Kefa, you see that Director Xiao has been busy in the past few days, running upstairs and downstairs over and over again, and he can't take care of the affairs of the department. Sai Chanjuan said to Lang Kefa behind Cheng Yu across Cheng Yu.
"Hehe," Lang Ke sneered, "I heard that it was going to be reviewed." ”
"What kind of review are you doing?" asked Sai Chanjuan knowingly.
"You don't know?" said Langkofanu, "supposedly related to that report." ”
"Is it? Aren't the leaders advocating people's livelihood news? Isn't it the small meeting of the conference asking us to do more in-depth investigative reports? Why is this going to be reviewed by Director Xiao again?" Sai Chanjuan was obviously a little gloating.
"Sai Chanjuan, what kind of mentality do you have?" Tao Hong really couldn't listen to it anymore, she knocked on the table and said to Sai Chanjuan, "If you don't understand the news, don't talk nonsense, if you are really idle, just talk about gossip more." ”
"You, you know the news, you're too self-righteous, aren't you? Sai Chanjuan was afraid that Tao Hong would say that she didn't understand business, so she jumped up angrily when she heard this, "Tao Hong, don't think that you think that you are heaven after writing a few manuscripts and being praised by the leaders, let me tell you, no matter how good the manuscript you write, can it produce benefits? How much can your manuscripts be worth? Don't be self-righteous, if it weren't for Director Liu Dazhui and us people to pull advertisements, relying on you reporters who write so-called people's livelihood news, our editorial department wouldn't have gone bankrupt long ago?
When Tao Hong heard Sai Chanjuan's words, she couldn't help laughing: "Sai Chanjuan, as a reporter, you completely missed the bottom of what you said. Tell me, if our newspaper's news is not good and readers don't buy it, even if you can pull advertisements again, can other advertisers give you advertisements? News is skin, then advertising is hair, and if there is no hair in the skin, it will be attached? If a newspaper puts all its energy on advertising and neglects the production of content, such a newspaper will be abandoned by readers sooner or later. ”
Seeing that the two female colleagues did not give in to each other, Lang Ke immediately picked up his bag and slipped out.
Sai Chanjuan originally wanted to use Lang Kefa as a foreign aid, but when she saw that Lang Kefa was so slippery, she knew that she couldn't bargain with Tao Hong on her own, so she waved a shot and said: "I don't care if you are skin or hair, the one who can bring in advertising is a hero." I won't waste time with you here, I made an appointment with a client, bye-bye!" said and picked up his bag and fled away from the editorial department.
"Cheng Yu, don't listen to them chew their tongues. Tao Hong said to Cheng Yu.
"Sister Tao Hong, I know. However, I am also worried that this matter will have an impact on Mr. Lei and Director Xiao. If it was because of one of my manuscripts that Mr. Lei and Director Xiao were punished, then I really don't know what to do. ”
"Cheng Yu, you're thinking too much. Your manuscript is very well written, and those with ulterior motives can't find any fault, and I don't think the leaders will be affected. ”
Despite Tao Hong's persuasion, Cheng Yu still felt very depressed in his heart. He wanted to find a new interview lead that would appeal to him as soon as possible, so he rummaged through his address book.
Flipping through it, the contact information of Dean Zhang of the welfare institute jumped out. That's right, I made an appointment with Dean Zhang half a month ago to do an interview in the welfare home, but it was delayed because of the interview with Leba. Why don't you go to the welfare home now? He immediately sent a text message to Dean Zhang: Dean Zhang, do you have time now, I want to do an interview.
Soon Dean Zhang replied: Yes, you can come.
Cheng Yu saw that Tao Hong was writing at the desk again, so he whispered: "Sister Tao Hong, I made an appointment with the welfare institute for an interview, and I went first." ”
Tao Hong raised his head and said with a smile: "That's right, go to work, don't think about it anymore." ”
The Yingzhou Welfare Institute consists of several villa-style buildings, most of which are adopted by children with disabilities. There are also a lot of touching stories happening here in this special environment. In particular, there are several special education teachers who are dedicated to taking care of disabled children, which makes Cheng Yu very interested. Therefore, Cheng Yu contacted Dean Zhang, hoping that Dean Zhang could arrange an interview with these teachers.
"Reporter Cheng, please come in. Dean Zhang let Cheng Yu into his office. Dean Zhang's office is a large room, the room is divided into two parts with aluminum alloy glass, the outside is the secretary's office and the accountant and cashier's office, and Dean Zhang works inside.
Dean Zhang asked Cheng Yu to sit down on the sofa, made tea for Cheng Yu, and said, "Reporter Cheng, you are very welcome to come to us for an interview. I have arranged for two special education teachers to be interviewed by you according to your request, and they will come over in a moment. ”
"Dean Zhang, I'm causing you trouble. Cheng Yu said.
"Reporter Cheng is polite, how can this cause us trouble? This is to publicize our welfare home, so we should actively cooperate. Dean Zhang said with a smile
As he was talking, the secretary outside came in and whispered to Dean Zhang, "Dean, the donor has come." ”
Although the secretary's voice was small, Cheng Yu still heard it.
Cheng Yu immediately asked, "Dean Zhang, is someone here to donate?"
Dean Zhang looked at the secretary, then at Cheng Yu, and said with some hesitation: "Reporter Cheng, I'm sorry." This donor specially proposed to us that when she came to donate, she couldn't tell reporters, and second, she shouldn't ask her real identity, and she wasn't even allowed to ask her name. ”
When Cheng Yu heard this, he became more and more interested. He said eagerly, "Dean, can you discuss with her and accept my exclusive interview?"
Dean Zhang shook his head again and again: "No, no." They repeatedly emphasized that I agreed to her. How can we talk and not count. Reporter Cheng, we can't force this matter. ”
Cheng Yu saw Dean Zhang say this, so he had no choice but to do it. But in my heart, I felt very regretful.
The secretary continued, "Dean, let me lead her to the outside office, so that the accountant and the cashier can receive her donations directly." ”
Dean Zhang nodded and said, "You go and bring her in, and I'll go outside to meet her immediately." ”
The secretary immediately walked out. Dean Zhang said to Cheng Yu: "Reporter Cheng, you drink tea by yourself first, I'll go out to greet this donor, I'm sorry to treat you slowly." ”
"You're welcome, Dean Zhang, go and greet you. Cheng Yu stood up and said.
Cheng Yu stood up and found that although the glass partition was pasted with flower paper, which blocked the view from looking out, the flower paper was only attached to the person's shoulder, and after standing up, he could see the situation in the outer room.
Cheng Yu watched Dean Zhang come out of the inner room and close the door casually, so he quietly stood behind the glass partition, half-squatting, and only showed his eyes to look outside.
After a while, the dean's secretary walked in first. A young woman dragged two large suitcases in the back, and judging by the sound of the wheels of the suitcases, they contained heavy things.
The young woman first lowered her head and carried the two large boxes over the threshold, and then walked in with her head down and holding the two boxes. Dean Zhang greeted him warmly.
When the young woman raised her head, Cheng Yu was stunned.
The woman who came in had a beautiful mole on her eyebrows. "Isn't this Zhen Zhu'er's sister? Why did she come here? Why did she donate to the welfare home?" Cheng Yu was suddenly confused, and Cheng Yu didn't even hear what Dean Zhang and the beauty mole girl said.
Cheng Yu stared blankly at the face of the beauty mole girl, this pretty face, if the beauty mole is removed, it is exactly the same as Zhen Zhuer.
The girl didn't say much, so she opened the two boxes directly, and the two boxes were filled with hundred-dollar bills, and after taking them out of the boxes, they formed a small mountain on the two tables opposite the accountant and the cashier. The cashier's hands began to tremble. Dean Zhang was so shocked that he couldn't speak. This is because this is the largest cash donation received by the orphanage since its establishment.
Where did Zhen Zhu'er's sister get so much money? Cheng Yu muttered in his heart. Could it be that she stole the money? Judging from the information she got before, Zhen Zhu'er's sister is very likely to be a member of the theft syndicate. However, if this beautiful girl is really a member of the theft syndicate, why did she donate this huge amount of money to the welfare home?
"I have to tell Zhen Zhu'er the news quickly. Cheng Yu took out his mobile phone, he hoped to be able to get through Zhen Zhuer's mobile phone this time. Because, as soon as he returned to Yingzhou from Guling Town, Cheng Yu contacted Zhen Zhuer, but there was always a prompt tone on the mobile phone that "the mobile phone you dialed has been turned off".
Later, Cheng Yu called Zhen Zhuer every few days, but the disappointing prompt tone came from the phone.
Cheng Yu didn't know what happened to Zhen Zhu'er, he had been thinking about this strange woman in his heart, of course, not just to repay the money she borrowed from the Guling Town Police Station. This kind of longing is a feeling of unsettling mind.
Zhen Zhuer's number, Cheng Yu can already memorize it, he quickly dialed this set of familiar numbers, and prayed in his heart: Zhen Zhuer, you must answer my phone this time.
