It was only when I actually saw Joseph standing in the crowd and waving his hand with a smile on his face that the sense of authenticity came to mind. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Today's Joseph is still dressed semi-work, wearing a shirt rolled up to his elbows, and then a casual suit pants with suede soft soles, the whole person is still in a state of work, but he feels a lot more casual, which is most in line with Joseph's image.

The rigorous formal attire on the night of the auction seemed to limit Joseph's true temperament, and the whole person became tied, and after untying it today, he embraced freedom again, as if even the vitality between his eyebrows overflowed. The open shirt buttons are even more casual and uninhibited, but the casualness between gestures is unbearable.

As editor-in-chief of The New York Times, Joseph was clearly not used to office life, and continued to be active as a journalist. This can be considered an outlier.

For most editors, step by step to the level of editor-in-chief, administrative work is a necessary link, and even proficient in social, administrative, and network-related business, because for the editor-in-chief, they focus more on overall management and crisis management.

For example, in 2002, the Boston Post discovered that Catholic priests were sexually sexual/harassing children in their dioceses. At that time, they thought it was just an individual incident, a small mission, but with the investigation, the truth of the matter gradually revealed, involving hundreds of victims, and the church has privately compensated the victims and sent people to cover up these crimes, but the priest still remains in his original position and continues to plague more victims.

As the investigation deepened, the reporters discovered that this was a conspiracy, and even a phenomenon. Not just in Boston, but all over the world, exactly the same thing is happening. The cardinals of the Vatican also took part in the cover-up, transferring the offending priest out of the diocese and sending him to another diocese - without repentance, and then with new victims in the new diocese. As a result, the victims are all over the world.

What is even more terrifying is that the church took advantage of its own peculiarity and colluded with officials, consortia, lawyers, and authority figures to cover up this incident. The earliest dates back more than two decades.

The incident was later made into a movie, "Spotlight".

When such a situation arises, the position of the editor-in-chief is particularly important, although he will not be on the front line, but he has the right to decide whether to continue digging, whether to publicize, whether to resist external pressure, and whether to refuse bribery and bribery from government/government officials.

When Edward Snowden first announced the Prism project, the editor-in-chief of The Guardian faced the same dilemma.

To put it simply, the editor-in-chief is all about dealing with administrative work. Stanley Waltz, the editor-in-chief of Time magazine, is clearly a more sophisticated administrator.

However, Joseph was different, even standing in the crowd of cowboy conventions, he seemed at ease, and there was no discomfort in the slightest.

Lu Li strode up to greet him, and from a distance, Joseph saw Lu Li, so he raised his right hand high, like a returning sailor, and took the initiative to say hello, "Hey, you're here." Then he turned his head and chattered to a few people around him.

When Lu Li walked in, he heard Joseph say in a concluding manner, "...... He's an interesting guy. There aren't many Asians in Texas, but he actually bought a ranch here, and seems to be ready to put down roots here. ”

"My ears are a little itchy. Lu Li said with a smile, then nodded to a few people around him, and finally his eyes fell on Joseph. "What did you just say? I'm a farmer?"

Joseph said with a cheerful expression, "No, no, you're a cowboy. ”

Lu Li looked his clothes up and down, a plaid shirt with jeans, but he wore a pair of canvas shoes on his feet, not riding boots. So, he nodded, "I'm still a farmer." ”

At this moment, a man standing next to him smiled and said, "What's the difference between a farmer and a cowboy?

In a simple sentence, there is a thick ridicule, but there is not too much malice, but with a hint of familiarity, which looks like a self-acquaintance.

"Of course it's different. Lu Li and Joseph said in unison, startling the man, and the two of them couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Li then said, "It's like New York and Boston. ”

Not New York and New Jersey, but New York and Boston, both cities are located on the East Coast, and not far away, and both are famous top cities in the United States, both cities have many similarities, history, culture, economy, environment, etc.

For many people, New York and Boston can be said together, not even too differentiated, and always referred to as two cities in terms of the New York area, or the entire area in terms of the Boston area.

But in fact, for these two cities, they are very resistant to putting each other together, and they will be angry because of this, and they are eager to make a series of lists at length, completely distinguish the two cities, and then draw the Chu River and Han borders.

Bostonians, in particular, have always clamoured that they should be independent and become a nation, building a kingdom centered on the Greater Boston area, insisting that they have a unique ideological and cultural heritage. Whenever someone puts Boston under New York for discussion, they will be extremely repulsive, even going so far as to take out their guns and argue with reason.

Not just in New York and Boston, but also in Philadelphia. It's an absolute insult to these cities on the East Coast to have someone talk about them together.

Lu Li's example explanation is simple and clear, explaining everything clearly in an instant, and at the same time showing his attitude.

This made the man immediately grin his teeth and cry out in pain, not forgetting to shout loudly about his position, "Of course New York and Boston are different. New York is New York, a New York like no other!"

Lu Li looked at Joseph, needless to say, the person in front of him must be a complete New Yorker, in their cognition, New York is the center of the world, and no one can compare.

However, Lu Li didn't continue to argue, just spread his hands with a smile on his face, just such a simple action, but his attitude couldn't be more obvious, which made the person in front of him laugh uncontrollably, "Fourteen." Lu Li took a step forward, stretched out his right hand, and took the initiative to introduce himself.

"Fabio. The other party also held Lu Li's right hand and said with a smile.

It's a French name, which is not uncommon in New York, but it proves his origin and background, Lu Li smiled and closed his chin, although he didn't say anything, Fabio explained again, "I like Paris, but Paris is not New York after all." ”

It seems that this is a native of French descent, but a native of New York.

Afterwards, Lu Li introduced himself to the four people next to him. Joseph came to the cowboy conference today, the lineup is really not small, there are six people, a circle of introduction, ten minutes passed, and then they also greeted each other, emphasizing that Joseph mentioned Lu Li several times on the way over.

"Please don't go on, or I'll be mistaken. Lu Li blinked his eyes and said meaningfully, his gaze lingered on Joseph for a long time, which immediately made everyone burst into laughter, and even Joseph showed a rare expression of helplessness.

"So, what are your plans now?" As a landlord, Lu Li still had to play a leading role, so he started the topic with familiarity, "Have lunch first, or watch the game first, or do you plan to go to the mobile booth and the exhibition to have a look?" I heard that there is a live performance of cowgirls today. ”

Listening to Lu Li's introduction, everyone exchanged glances with each other, and finally Joseph looked at Fabio, "What do you think?"

The sight of this one inquiry reveals too much. Lu Li was a little surprised, Fabio was actually the heaviest person on this trip, if not the heaviest, it was not trivial. Because Fabio does not have the arrogance of the middle class or even the aristocratic class, but has a kind of market atmosphere in a New York bar, it is easy to make people feel close.

Fabio pondered for a moment, "Let's have lunch." I can now feel my stomach protesting, and obviously, I didn't treat him well this morning. Then, Fabio turned to look at the other person next to him, "Do you have any suggestions for lunch? I don't know what to eat here in Texas." ”

"New York's gourmet menu, leave steak and fried chicken, and that's fine. Lu Li's witty and humorous answer made everyone laugh. The subtext of this sentence is that only steak and fried chicken in Texas are worth mentioning. Of course, this is a joke.

The subject Fabio asked smiled, "Except for steak and fried chicken." ”

The arrogance and loftiness between the gestures were not sharp, but they widened the distance between the two sides. Compared to Fabio, he is like a real New Yorker - always keeping a certain distance from strangers, and at the same time having a clear understanding of his status, background, work situation, etc.

If Lu Li is not mistaken, he should be called Michael.

Lu Li doesn't mind, there aren't too many people like this in New York, "Then, you can only choose chicken breast or salad." ”

Fabio looked up to the sky and sighed, "Ah, Jesus Christ came to Texas, and that's all that, so why should I leave New York?"

"Because here, before you eat, you have to get your hands dirty, like go to the fence and grab the chickens, and then give them to the farmer to kill, process them, and cook them. Lu Li's ability to talk nonsense in a serious way is bullish, with a smile in his seriousness, and the group of people in front of him were stunned.

"Is this true?" asked Fabio with a wink.
