Chapter 6: Another Trap
The sun rises as usual.
At the morning meeting, Luo Qianfan paid careful attention to Wu Youli. The gift was given, did he really continue to make things difficult for himself as Hu Feifei said?
Wu Youli's words and deeds don't seem to be as Hu Feifei said, during the meeting, he specially praised Luo Qianfan, saying that Luo Qianfan's appearance in the reading room was very good, he read the newspaper very seriously, took a lot of notes, and had a deep understanding of the news and unique insights, so he was ready to let Luo Qianfan put down the paper first and go to the actual combat to experience and experience.
Luo Qianfan was happy in his heart: It seems that he gave the right gift yesterday, Wu Youli "forgiven" himself, this is the best, no one wants to get along with the top boss.
There are a lot of hotlines today, and after the morning meeting ended, the reporters grabbed clues one after another and went out for interviews, and in the end only Luo Qianfan was left alone.
Luo Qianfan has been staring at the hotline platform, and several times he wanted to grab clues, for fear of angering Wu Youli again, but he didn't dare, waiting for Wu Youli to take the initiative to assign him an interview task.
Wu Youli didn't look for him in the morning, but he called a few times, all of which were answered by Luo Qianfan, Wu Youli looked for Zhang San for a while, and Li Si for a while, but he didn't look for Luo Qianfan. Luo Qianfan cautiously asked if there was any task, and Wu Youli didn't say anything.
After lunch, Luo Qianfan continued to sit and wait, until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, without any movement.
At this time, other reporters came back from the interview one after another, and they were busy sorting out the materials, writing manuscripts, and some called to supplement the content of the interview.
Wang Lin and Li Ya were sweating profusely when they came back from the interview, they each had their own gains, and they were particularly fulfilling, and Luo Qianfan was particularly envious.
Li Ya asked Luo Qianfan: "Didn't you go out for a day?" ā
Luo Qianfan nodded. Li Ya said: "There are still some small clues on the hotline platform, why don't you catch them?" ā
Luo Qianfan didn't wait for an answer, Wu Youli came to the front and asked with a smile: "Xiao Luo, what did you interview today, and how many manuscripts do you want to write?" ā
Luo Qianfan looked at Wu Youli in surprise and said, "I'...... There were no interviews. ā
Wu Youli's face darkened suddenly: "No interview? So what do you do all day? You didn't see several clues on the hotline platform, why didn't you go for an interview? ā
Everyone in the office turned their eyes to Luo Qianfan. Luo Qianfan was stunned, and said in his heart that you sued me yesterday, and all the clues were assigned by you, and after I grabbed it, Leng was remotely seized by you, and I stared at the clues all day today, but I didn't dare to grab it, and now you blame me again?
Wu Youli stared at Luo Qianfan with sharp eyes, Luo Qianfan was stared at by him and had long hair, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry Director Wu, you didn't assign me an interview task, I don't dare to grab news clues without authorization......"
Wu Youli slapped the table: "Do you want me to arrange it to grab clues?" Wang Lin, did I assign you a task? ā¦ā¦ Li Ya, did I arrange it for you? ā¦ā¦ Xiao Luo, you can't be special just because you got the first place in the exam, and don't ask for unrealistic treatment just because I care about you! I don't run the newspaper alone, everyone has to take the initiative to contribute, like you, do you want the newspaper to open the skylight? ā
In front of everyone's eyes, Luo Qianfan was trained to be big. Wu Youli hated iron and steel, he had no intention of quitting the army, and continued to criticize in a different tone: "Alas, what do you want me to say about you, yes, the weather is very hot, everyone knows that the wind and sun are hard outside, but you are a trainee reporter, old reporters and new reporters all go out to interview, only you are alone in the air-conditioned room to blow the wind, is this the attitude that a newcomer should have?" I always care about you so much, and I called you yesterday to ask about your situation, are you worthy of her today? With your attitude, you can't pass the assessment at the end of the probationary period, and yours is mine? You kid, sometimes you're sensible, sometimes you're really sensible......"
Luo Qianfan listened to Wu Youli's counting, like a thousand flies flying in his head, he suddenly remembered what Hu Feifei said last night, it seems that she is right, Wu Youli is far more bastard than he imagined, tea and cigarettes are sent to the kennel.
Wu Youli criticized for a long time, and finally said: "That's it, since Mr. Xia wants me to care about you, I can't let her down, I just received a clue on my mobile phone, which was sent by an informant of mine, saying that a child had just drowned in the Laohushan Reservoir, you go for an interview." The interview car is sent out, you take a taxi and come back for reimbursement. I'll forward the text message to you. It's a big deal, and you have to complete the task successfully, don't you hear? ā
Luo Qianfan's eyes lit up, and he nodded hurriedly, saying in his heart that criticism is criticism, as long as I am given the opportunity to write a manuscript, I can let you see my level.
Wu Youli forwarded the text message to Luo Qianfan, Luo Qianfan didn't think about it, and hurriedly packed up his things and went out, reading the text message while waiting for the car at the door of the newspaper office: "At 3:30 pm, a boy drowned in the water in the Tiger Mountain Reservoir, whistleblower: Zhang **, contact information: 138............"
Where is the Tiger Mountain Reservoir? I've vaguely heard of this place, it seems far away, but I've never been there. Call the whistleblower: "Hey, it's Mr. Zhang, I'm a reporter from Hongcheng Metropolis Daily, my surname is Luo, you broke the news to Director Wu, saying that a boy drowned in the Tiger Mountain Reservoir, right?" ā
The other party said conclusively: "That's right, the drowned child is from Laohugang Village near the Laohushan Reservoir, and the family is organizing people to salvage the body, so come over quickly." ā
"Okay, I'll rush over immediately, you keep the phone open, and tell me if there is any progress......"
"Okay, don't worry."
After hanging up the phone, a taxi stopped in front of him, Luo Qianfan got in the car and said that he was going to the Laohushan Reservoir, and the driver asked him to come down again: "I'm sorry brother, it's too far, I can't beat it for fifty or sixty kilometers, and there is still a section of road being repaired. ā
Luo Qianfan had no choice, so he stopped three more cars, and no one went. In the end, I finally stopped one and said that I could go and add 50 yuan. Luo Qianfan gritted his teeth, go!
Set off at about half past four, and when it was almost six o'clock, it was still five kilometers away from the Tiger Mountain Reservoir, and this place was far away from the city, and it had been deviated into the cracks of the stones, and even the figure could not be seen.
The road was repaired in front, the taxi driver got out of the car and looked at the side of the road, the road has been broken to the surface, the big pit is covered with a small pit, plus it rained two days ago, there is still water in the pit, the driver is afraid that the car will be trapped, and he will not go to live or die, and he will not go to add money. He also advised Luo Qianfan: "Just call to understand the situation, why bother going to the scene for an interview?" Even if you find a place along the way, it's the middle of the night after returning to Hongcheng. ā
Luo Qianfan said: "This is my first manuscript in the newspaper, and I am afraid of traveling on business until I am not on site. ā
The driver sighed and expressed sympathy, but he couldn't help and parted ways with Luo Qianfan.
Luo Qianfan called the whistleblower, and the other party said that the body was still being recovered, and more and more people gathered. Luo Qianfan hurriedly put the interview bag on his back, rolled up his trouser legs, and walked to the Tiger Mountain Reservoir. After a 5-kilometer walk, it took nearly an hour to walk, and when I arrived at the Tiger Mountain Reservoir, it was dark.
But the reservoir was quiet, and there was not a single figure in sight, nor was anyone salvaging the child's body.
Luo Qianfan called the informant, the day was over, the phone was turned off, and it was turned off after calling five times.
The reservoir is not too big, Luo Qianfan circled around the reservoir, and there was no trace of the accident scene.
happened to meet an old man passing by on a bicycle, Luo Qianfan stopped him and asked if a child had drowned in the reservoir in the afternoon. The old man was very strange, "I haven't heard of it."
Luo Qianfan asked again: "Then is there a tiger gang village near here?" It is said that the drowned child was a person from Tiger Oka ......"
The old man was very unhappy: "I don't like to listen to you talk, I am from Laohugang, I just came out of the village, how can there be any drowning of children......" He glared at Luo Qianfan and rode away.
It's weird, is it that the whistleblower is pranking? He called the whistleblower again, but it was still turned off.
There was no way, Luo Qianfan called Wu Youli to report the situation, saying that he suspected that the news was fake, and the whistleblower turned off the phone. Wu Youli choked up: "Whether you go for an interview or I go for an interview, don't ask everything!" In short, the interview should be in-depth, the understanding should be comprehensive, and whether there is such a thing or not, it must be verified clearly! ā
Luo Qianfan was choked with anger. He called his good friend Song Xiaobeard and asked him to check the contact number of the police station to which the Laohushan Reservoir belongs.
There are all kinds of indications: this is a prank by the whistleblower, of course, it may also be Wu Youli's fraud! When I think of this, Luo Qianfan is furious! He couldn't help but call Wu Youli's phone, but no one answered!! More and more like a trap to play tricks! I am the one who is being soaked like a shabu-shabu.
The phone rang, and Hu Feifei called: "Hey, Xiao Luo Luo, where are you...... Tiger Mountain Reservoir? Did you really go? Exercise! Wu Youli is playing with you, there is no such thing as drowning a child at all! Come back, come back and I'll tell you the details! ā
Luo Qianfan was decadent for a while. He sat down on the stone by the reservoir and looked at the black and oppressive lake, and his heart was full of sadness. After a long time, he picked up a big stone and smashed it into the water, scolding: "I cĒo you Wu Youli eight generations of ancestors!" ā
