After getting off work in the evening, Shu Neem pushed the entertainment and took a taxi home.

The flickering candlelight illuminates a corner of the room, a glass of red wine sits on the corner, neem is wrapped in a bathrobe and sunk deep into the sofa, and the Bordeaux red wine glass covers half of her face, and she uncontrollably tilts her head to swallow the last drop of wine. Drunk and hazy, she thought, everyone has a pure white life, believe in justice, believe in dreams, believe in a beautiful word......

Such a night is suitable for reminiscence.

Seven years ago, she had nothing but dreams, at that time she was full of vitality, did not know how to turn, stubborn and cute, but also very nostalgic, youth for her, in the depths of memory will never end.

After graduating from the journalism department of a prestigious university, Shu Neem's idealism was ruthlessly strangled by reality, and less than six of the graduates in the same batch of graduates have applied what they have learned, and they can officially sign contracts with newspapers or television stations. Even though she performed well during her internship and won the hearts of the teachers on the documentary channel, it was useless to have no places.

The senior sister who knew her helped her develop her ideas, "Our professional is nothing more than five paths, one graduate school and then strive to stay in school; Second, go abroad to gild, get a foreign degree, and then come back as a stepping stone; The three civil service exams and a quiet yamen are the most suitable for girls; Fourth, she was a cow and a horse on the TV station, the little girl got up early and edited the film, and her body collapsed in a few years, so it was a loss to wait for an uncertain opportunity; Fifth, when you are a brick of the motherland, where to give money and where to move, they all say that Chinese majors are jack-of-all-trades, and journalism majors are not bad, as long as you don't build airplanes and rockets, what can't you do? ”

When Shu Neem first left school, it was when the book business was full of ambition, she wanted to stick to her dream of journalism, become a reporter who shouldered social conscience and exposed dark phenomena, how could she bend her waist to reality for the sake of rice sorghum.

Young people have indomitable capital and courage, Shu Neem is no exception, seeing the recruitment information of the city newspaper, do not think about it, immediately submitted a resume, after the written test interview guò, she signed a labor contract with the city newspaper, and became a supernumerary reporter of the news edition.

brought her seniors to remind, "Your contract is not fair"

"As long as you can run the news and don't starve to death"

Oh, the young man doesn't know what it's like to be sad, and the senior shook his head.

Shu Neem came to work every day full of energy, serving tea, pouring water, sweeping the floor and wiping the table, and was very happy, counting on her to be diligent and the senior teachers would take her with her when they went out for interviews.

The reporters of the social news section are mobile when they go out on a mission, and they have to be on night duty at night, regardless of the hit-and-run accidents of jumping off the building and drinking medicine, and so on, and they will not come on time and on time in such emergencies, in order to catch news clues, they have to say goodbye to 9 to 5, and it is common to be busy for a few days without seeing a person. Shu Neem is a rookie in the workplace, and it is not her turn to follow the heavy news, at most she will work hard to proofread and proofread the manuscript

Compared with the seniors in the same group, who were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, Shu Neem was so idle that he decided to give full play to his subjective initiative and support his colleagues in other editions of the newspaper. She is not so blind, and she must ask her direct leader for instructions on this matter. The leader Liu Wen and her are alumni and senior brothers, god-level figures in the Department of Journalism, who won the "China Journalism Award", graduated for many years, and their reputation is still circulating in the department.

Liu Wen buried himself in writing, his ears were too clean, the little junior sister had just arrived, taking advantage of the freshness, taking him as a great god offering, and the little girl was generally waiting in front of the saddle and behind the horse. The girl who has always been vigorous and energetic is still a little uncomfortable playing silent, and he can't help but raise his eyes to look, hey, my sister is secretly sending autumn waves to colleagues in the real estate section, and the proactive and eager appearance can't help but remind him of himself when he first joined the work.

"Xiao Shu, do you know that we run the news separately?"

Shu Neem nodded, who doesn't know this, each has its own duties.

Liu Wen looked at her ignorantly, and knew that she had to speak thoroughly, "What about our newspaper, the better ones have real estate, medicine and health, this kind of advertising section, you don't need to go out for interviews, you will receive a good finished product from the counterpart unit system, and you can upload it with a little polish."

Liu Wen stopped at the point, Shu Neem was not stupid, she understood the meaning of the leader's words in seconds, the manuscript of the real estate version of the house is ready-made, where can she be used for her hospitality. Besides, if you help others, people may not appreciate it, and when it comes to the authorship fee, why should people cheapen you as a small reporter. If it's not good to be choreographed by the broken mouth of the bastard, she doesn't have to mess up.

Thanks to the guidance of his senior brother, Shu Neem passed the rookie period in the workplace safely, the initial excitement and apprehension have just calmed down, and the hidden worries are born again - poor money, the basic salary of the low-level young reporter is pitiful, and the bonus and benefits are related to seniority.

If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are at home, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are when you get into the money every month, pay the rent, and the rest of the two jujubes are struggling to get by.

There is meat to eat, and those who are admitted to the newspaper in the same period are diverted to the industry version of the entertainment version, and they are all more moisturized than neem, and the industry version does not worry about the source of the manuscript, not to mention the gray income, everyone understands. There is also a lot of oil and water in the entertainment version, start-up press conferences, press conferences, celebrity weddings, newcomers in the entertainment industry issue notices, and entertainment reporters participate in the grand event, so can the red envelopes for carriage and horses be less?

The bitter thing is that all the colleagues in the social news section struggle between ideals and reality, adhere to the ideal of journalism, and write a manuscript with social influence, so it takes time to track and investigate the news clues, and if the manuscript cannot be published for a month or two, there is no manuscript fee to pay, and food, clothing, housing and transportation are all problems. But compared with the safety of life, it is not a problem, to go undercover in violation of laws and regulations, unlucky to be caught and beaten violently, and lose dignity, really earn money from selling cabbage, and the heart of selling white * powder.

If you are poor, you can think about change, go online to Baidu without leaving home, there is news everywhere, and the fast hands who are good at moving the world can piece together several manuscripts a day, the money is there, the task is completed, and the best of both worlds is the best of both worlds.

After half a year, Shu Neem has figured out the doorway, she is not a saint, she can't be poor, even if she can stick to poverty, regardless of gains and losses, no manuscript will be published, and sooner or later she will be eliminated. It is important to ensure the work, but we must not make things up out of nothing, and the bottom line of professional ethics in journalism must be maintained. Because of this, Shu Neem is very entangled, she doesn't want to write vulgar and superficial manuscripts, what kind of junior arrogantly provokes the main room, and the main room beats the junior on the street, this kind of news is sensational enough, eye-catching enough, but what is the value?

The amount of manuscript is included in the evaluation and scoring, forced to helplessly, Shu Neem handed in a few painless manuscripts, and afterwards felt very shameless, ashamed of what she had learned, after self-review, she got rid of distracting thoughts and calmed down to think about the topic, determined the entry point, she sorted out the interview topic and interview plan and handed it over to the senior brother for review.

After the regular meeting of the editor, Shu Neem stayed alone and waited for the leader to show him.

Liu Wen played the A4 paper in his hand, and said with a smile: "Your topic is good, the angle of entry is very novel, and the daily life of 365 lines can be considered as a series of reports."

The expected criticism and correction did not happen, but instead of hearing affirmation and praise, Shu Neem's self-confidence was encouraged, and her respectful attitude towards the leader was invisibly much more relaxed, and she was happy to talk about her ideas.

"Yes, that's what I think, how much do people know about the profession that is closely related to their lives, firefighters, sanitation workers, plainclothes police, these three professions ensure the safety and cleanliness of people's living environment, many newspapers have done similar reports, but tend to find role models in this industry, to talk about their profession with a little bit of face, focusing on the traditional set of advanced trees, to be honest, for the leaders in the industry, people are admired, but the image of excellent people is tall, and the behavior is extraordinary, Ordinary people can't catch up, so they can only stay away, and at the same time, there will be misunderstandings, as if the police and firefighters are for heroes.

This understanding is undoubtedly biased, so I thought why not start with the daily work of these professions, what time to go to work and start to track records, the form is similar to reality shows, which should be able to arouse people's interest in reading, after all, everyone has curiosity, what is the work content of other professions, more or less want to know something.

Of course, the purpose of planning this topic is not to satisfy people's voyeuristic desires, but to dispel charm and refute rumors, for example, whether the financial person is a gold winner, whether the doctor is disregarding the patient's indiscriminate prescription of medicine, as a reporter, standing on an objective standpoint, recording their day's work process impartially, people see their own judgment.

Finally, the most important thing, the idea of the article, the purpose of the topic, is to reveal a truth, see greatness in the ordinary, and shine in the world, even if it is an ordinary person, as long as you work hard, as long as you persevere, as long as you are responsible, as long as you are worthy of my heart, sanitation workers and astronauts are as worthy of respect."

Speaking of pride, Shu Neem's eyes were shining, Liu Wen suddenly lost his mind, many years ago, he was also so high-spirited and excited, but where did the upright young man go, where did his ideals, his ambitions, his ambitions, his original intention, and Fangde's always belief go.

Liu Wen shook his head, smiled, gently brushed away the momentary loss and feelings, and returned to the spiritual mentor in the minds of young people, and gave a solemn and gentle comment: "Professional sensitivity needs to be trained, for many people, it is hard to find, and you already have it, I think you will become a good reporter!" ”

Wow, high-level recognition, Shu Neem seemed to see the award of the Top 100 Journalists beckoning to her, and after thinking about it for a while, she held her smile and was modest, "What kind of good reporter am I?"

"What makes a good journalist in your eyes?"

"A journalist who can punish evil, promote good, and uphold justice"

Liu Wen stared deeply, as if he was talking to himself like advice, "It takes courage to defend your dreams"

"Take dreams as horses and choose eternal careers, I'm ready!"

Shu Nee held the doorknob and turned back, "Senior brother, you are my idol and the target to chase, so I will work hard!" ”

"Idols......"

Liu Wen's eyes were half mocking and half sarcastic, and he fell in an unknown place.
