24. Reporting
This night, Wu Jue spent it in his room.
It should be a familiar environment, but I don't think about anything in my head, but I can't sleep at night for some reason.
When I woke up the next day, my eyes were dark and my whole body was sluggish.
After washing her face casually, she took out her mobile phone and called up a number, the phone rang for a long time before someone got up, and there was a vague voice inside: "Wu Jue......"
"Su Ran, the sun is about to burn your buttocks, are you still sleeping?"
"Boss, it's only nine o'clock, okay? I went to bed in the middle of the night last night to make headlines, and it was almost five o'clock in the morning. β
"It seems that you really slept later than the dogs and did more than the cows. But why are you working so hard at such a young age? β
"A headline for a thousand, a thousand! For the sake of money, I have to fight for this little life. By the way, what is the matter with you calling me so early, could it be that you are inviting me to dinner? Hey! The voice was back to normal.
Wu Jue chuckled: "I'm still waiting for you to invite me to dinner!" I'll exchange the Lin Zheng exclusive news on hand for a meal for you, how about it, it's a good deal, right? β
"Lin Zheng exclusive!?" Su Ran suddenly became interested, "Yes! You are now the deputy manager of Lin Zheng's finance department, and there must be a lot of β‘β‘ news. It's not going to be your president's scandal that you're going to break the news to me, right? I'm not interested in that! β
Wu Jue was just about to speak, but she laughed twice: "But...... If you have a close-up photo of your president, I'm still interested in collecting it exclusively, and if it's a nude photo, it's even better, not to mention one meal, ten meals are not a problem. Hahaha! β
"Huh! Am I that boring? β
Su Ran smiled at the other end: "Of course you are, I haven't forgotten that before the exam, you wrapped your math book leather on the romance novel and pretended to review it seriously." But seriously, you've been working in Lin Zheng for a year, haven't you really inquired about your president's lace, you know? In the Jiangcheng gossip forum, your president is perennially at the top of the list of diamond men in Jiangcheng. β
Wu Jue said: "What can lace news mean, what I broke the news for you is absolutely valuable." β
Su Ran snorted: "Okay, we'll meet at the base in an hour." β
Wu Jue shook his head with a smile and hung up the phone, after so many years, Su Ran was still the same, but he had already changed beyond recognition.
The base is a book bar between Gangseong University and Gangseong Normal University. In the past, when they were still in school, Wu Jue and Su Ran, one was in Jiang University and the other was in Normal University, and occasionally the two of them would get together in this place.
When Su Ran came panting, Wu Jue had already sat down for a while, holding a book in his hand and reading it with interest.
"Crazy, crazy, what's going on in Jiangcheng now, the traffic jam on the big weekend can block people." Su Ran fanned the wind with his hand, lifted the book in Wu Jue's hand and glanced at it, "You are really calm enough, I really convinced you, you have not been a student for a few years, you can still read this kind of book." Could it be that you are the legendary young woman of literature and art? β
"If you have nothing to do, just flip through it, and you should relive your student days." Wu Jue put down the book and smiled faintly, "How are you doing?" β
"Barely alive." Su Ran rolled her eyes, "The female compatriots who do my job are eating youth, I can do more now, I can't carry the camera and can't run in the future, so I can only honestly follow the pen." It's like you, I went to a big company like Lin Zheng, and I became a deputy department manager in just one year, if I didn't know you, I would have thought that you relied on unspoken rules to get to the top. Hey...... But if it's your president who sneaks you, I'm still very supportive of you. β
"Stop talking nonsense." Wu Jue smiled and patted her, Wu Jue took out an envelope from his bag and handed it to her, "The things that broke the news are here, you go back and study them slowly." β
Anxious like Su Ran, of course he won't wait to go back, but grabbed it and opened it, hurriedly glanced at it a few times, and then hurriedly smacked his tongue: "The consciousness of gifted students is different, Wu Jue, are you considered a righteous annihilation?" β
"Anyway, the east doesn't fight the west, and if you encounter something that can't stand it, you will report it to a messenger of justice like you, don't you like to expose the darkness the most, this should meet your appetite, right?"
"Of course." Su Ran lowered his voice as he spoke, "I didn't expect Lin Zheng, a leading enterprise in Jiangcheng, to do such a black thing, even if they are always handsome guys, I won't show mercy to my subordinates, see if I don't break the news and kill such a profiteer." It is said that Lin Zheng will be listed in New York next Wednesday, and you say that if I post this news on the Wednesday edition of our daily newspaper, will it be a sensation? β
Wu Jue sneered: "You can figure it out, no wonder people say black-hearted reporters." β
"Hey, hey, I'm a messenger of justice, okay?" Su Ran shook his head disappreciatively, "Don't tell me that you don't think so." β
Wu Jue smiled and nodded: "Yes!" That's what I thought, okay? β
"That's right." Su Ran put the envelope away in a hurry, "How are you doing?" Shen Tong's matter has passed so long, you should also start over. You, a good student with a good look, good character, and good brain, are not collected by good men, isn't it a tyrannical thing. I'm sure you'll meet a man as good as Shen Tong. β
The smile on Wu Jue's face froze for a moment, and after a long time, he gently said: "There will be no second Shen Tong in the world." β
Su Ran also realized his gaffe, opened his mouth, didn't say anything, and only laughed dryly: "It's so hot today, hehe." I remember that the red bean smoothie in this store used to be very good, I don't know if it has gotten worse in the past two years, I went to buy it at the bar, do you want to drink it? β
Before Wu Jue could answer, she had already jumped towards the bar like a rabbit.
Wu Jue naturally knew that Su Ran was genuinely thinking about her, but some things seemed easy to bystanders, but to the authorities, they were extremely difficult.
She didn't want to be a cocoon, but those pains were like the scars on her body, although they no longer hurt, they left an indelible mark.
A few minutes later, Su Ran really served two cups of red bean smoothie.
Wu Jue took it very unceremoniously, thought for a while and asked, "You posted this news, Lin Zheng will definitely find you." β
"Don't worry." Su Ran waved his hand heroically, "I am Sister Jiang of the new century, and I will never betray you." β
Wu Jue glanced at her angrily: "What did you say!" I'm telling you not to get into trouble with them, just treat it as an anonymous report you received, you don't know anything yourself, don't anger them. Lin Zheng is rich and rich, and it is not easy to pinch you to death as a little reporter. I don't want to lose your job on a whim. β
Su Ran waved his hand disapplausively: "Please." In our business, how can it be so easy to be crabbed. Our newspaper receives threatening letters and threatening phone calls every month, and it is not safe to run until today. β
"Intimidation, that's the lowest level of revenge, okay? Haven't you heard that money can make a ghost grind? With Lin Zheng's financial resources, it is completely effortless to buy your newspaper. I'm afraid you'll lose your job. β
"Remember the teachings. You think I'm still the impulsive little girl I used to be, but what I know best now is to act wisely and wisely. Ay! Time is really a pig-killing knife, thinking that my Su Ran has been sharpened by time, it's sad and lamentable! β
"Come on, I don't see you've changed at all. No wonder the one in your family says you're twenty-year-old and eighteen-year-old. I don't think he's right at all. β
Su Ran wrinkled his nose and gritted his teeth: "Even if you insult my appearance, you even insult my IQ." It's not a lady to meet someone! β
Wu Jue withdrew his smile, sat up straight, and made a serious appearance: "Ranran, do you know? I've always wanted to say a word to you! β
Su Ran pretended to be frightened: "What? Don't sue me, you actually love me the one you love? β
"That's not it. I've always wanted to sue you, but you're reallyβvery indebted! β
Since beating Shen Tong and leaving, Wu Jue rarely laughed like this, Su Ran looked at her and couldn't help laughing: "Hey, hey, don't bring this." Do you know that I've held a grudge against you for all these years. Under the guise of being a good student and a good girl all year round, I have deceived so many teachers and classmates, but in fact, I have done all the bad things that should be done, and none of them have been left behind. Don't think I don't know, there was a time in the second year of high school, and you ran out with a book in the middle of your evening self-study, and others thought you were going to the teacher to ask questions, but in fact, you went to the commissary to watch Sailor Moon. β
Wu Jue chuckled: "Hey, it's the Year of the Monkey." Do you remember? β
"Of course I do, do you know, but you left a lot of shadows on my girlhood. I've always prided myself on being smart, and as long as I work as hard as a good student like you, I'm sure I'll get better grades than you. But later I learned that a large part of your efforts turned out to be an illusion. Why did you tell me how embarrassing I was back then? β
"Heaven and earth conscience, I still work hard."
"Go, go, I don't know you yet."
Wu Jue smiled and didn't argue with her anymore. Wu Jue has been a good female model student in the eyes of adults since she was a child, she studies well and has a good personality, and she never needs adults to worry about her, but in fact, she has always been just an ordinary girl. She will also be willful and unreasonable, and she will have knots that she can't figure out.
She was never perfect.
It is true that Su Ran is one of the few people who knows her. But does she know who she is now? Does she know how her old friends, who talked and laughed with her, are dark and twisted in their hearts at the moment?
