Act Seventy-Four: Take You to See the Ugliness of Human Nature!
Roman was visibly stunned for a moment when he saw Little Rager holding the cake, and then said what she had said many times in the past two days, "Hello! My name is Roman, and I'm a reporter for the New Haven Daily." ”
"Hello, I'm the owner of Claydon Printing & Dyeing Factory, my name is Doug Claydon. Doug also introduced himself.
After his introduction, he said to Nathan and another security guard, "You two go back to work." ”
Two security guards brought the door, and Little Rag held a piece of cake and looked at the woman in front of him, he remembered her, she was the one who had just gone to find his mother.
Seeing Rag's expression, Doug said to him gently, "Rag, bring this box of cakes with you." Bring it to mom and siblings. Remember to tell your mom that Daogue is okay. ”
Doug said as he rubbed Rag's little head.
After everyone else went out, Doug lowered his face and said, "Reporter Roman, have you finished your investigative game?"
"I'm not playing a game, I really want to interview you. Mr. Claydon, don't you know how much influence you have right now?
Your Monopoly has already sold more than a thousand copies at Yale.
Your factory already has hundreds of people too.
You're already an influential public figure, and I want to report on you, is there a problem?"
Roman said.
"If there is a problem, you don't count. Doug turned back to his desk and threw a stack of papers on the table, "Miss Roman, you graduated from the University of Missouri, and your mentor is Willie, a well-known media person. You just graduated from school this year.
After graduating, you didn't go to New York or Washington, but returned to New Haven.
Three days ago, you received an assignment at the New Haven Daily Journal, and your president asked you to write an article about me.
He also said I was a bully.
Oh!
There was another person at the scene, and that was Anton from the New Haven Hotel.
Miss Roman, I don't know if there's a problem with what I'm saying. ”
"You're investigating me?" Roman's eyes widened.
"What about investigating you? aren't you investigating me too?" Doug smiled disapprehantly, "As long as you live in this world, you're always going to be investigated, aren't you?
"Sir Doug, listen to me. I did get a message from the president, but I didn't plan to do what he told me to do.
If I wanted to do what he said, why did I talk for so long and investigate so many people?
Why don't I just write according to the information given by the president?
I really wanted to interview you.
And my visit over the past three days has proved that you are a very good person in every way. ”
Roman explained.
"I think you continue to investigate me, but I just don't think the information your president gave you is true enough. You've interviewed so many people, and you haven't written a report yet, it's just that you haven't found the 'incriminating evidence' that can piece together my evil.
Miss reporter, I don't know if I'm right?"
"You're prejudiced!" Roman protested, "I'm not that kind of reporter! I'm a journalist who makes it my mission to tell the truth!"
"Part of the truth is also the truth, isn't it? A woman was crying on the side of the road, and there was a child on the ground who had been hit by a carriage. If you only report these two points, will people think that this woman's child has been hit by a carriage and is crying bitterly?
But in reality, the woman had nothing to do with the child. She was crying only because her newly bought carriage had been rubbed off by the damn imps.
Reporting the whole truth is reporting the truth, and reporting part of the truth is also the truth.
Miss Roman, you're going to report part of the truth, aren't you?"
"You! how can you imagine people to be so evil! There are still many good people in this world!" said Roman, "I am a good man, and if I report only part of the truth, as you say, I will jump from here." ”
"Okay, you're always welcome to jump. Doug pushed open the window and said.
The sunlight is relatively warm, and the fallen leaves outside the window are basically falling.
In this late autumn season, the weather is getting cooler day by day.
The cool breeze that blew in slightly cooled Roman's angry brain.
She never thought that anyone would be as evil as everyone expected.
Roman walked to the window, looked down at the ground outside the window, and was a little dizzy, and said, "Mr. Doug, don't you admit that there are good people in this world?"
"Good people? Who are good people? I believe that there are good people in this world, but good people are a relative concept.
Isn't Mr. Anton of the New Haven Hotel, a good guy to the New Haven Daily?
He advertises in the New Haven Daily all year round, and is an important financier of the New Haven Daily, and he is certainly a good person to the New Haven Daily.
But he asked you to discredit me, is he a good person to me?
Apparently not.
I know from Williams that you've played my Monopoly.
I believe that as a journalist, you should have played both "Monopoly" and "Prosperity".
Which do you think is easier to achieve, Monopoly or Boom?"
"Boom!" Roman replied and regretted it.
Because she suddenly realized that the leadership of the conversation was all in Doug's hands.
For a journalist, taking ownership of the conversation is a top priority.
Only when you have the control can you ask for the information you want to ask.
If the interviewee is in control, it means that he will be led by the nose all the time, and nothing will be interviewed.
"My opinion is quite the opposite. As if he didn't know anything about dominance, Doug continued, "I think 'Monopoly' is more likely to happen." Because everyone is selfish.
When everyone does things that harm others and benefit themselves, they comfort themselves that this is just a small matter. Even if I don't, there will be others who do.
You investigated me, and you know why Anton wanted to black me.
Because my lawyer had food poisoning at his place, he felt that I was harming his interests.
Even if I was a good person when you finally investigated and interviewed, do you think the New Haven Daily would publish your story if it has such a stake?"
"You think people are too ugly...... If everybody gave a little love......" Roman said at last, she couldn't say any more, because she was sure that if she had written a Doug feature based on the material she had now, she would not publish it.
Doug knew he had convinced Roman, but that wasn't enough, and he added, "But I can get the New Haven Daily to be published, can you believe it?"
"I don't believe it. ”
"Come with me, and today I will show you the ugliness of human nature. ”
