Chapter 4: The Wedge (4)
Booker was sure he was drunk after yesterday's prom. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info wasn't going to participate in the event, but in the end, not only did I go, but I had to drink too much again. Is this to blame the buddy who told him to go, or is he to blame for this damn result? But then again, where did his bad mood come from, and it wasn't caused by that damn editor-in-chief, Huo Lin. It's really a guy with the wrong head, since that crazy woman came to the newspaper office to talk nonsense, just send it away, and send Booker to follow up. As long as you have an IQ of more than 25 in your head, you know that this woman is a woman who runs trains with a mouth. She dresses sloppily and claims to be a person who pays attention to details. When you come to the newspaper office in the morning, you have to meet the most talkative person in the newspaper office. This person is naturally the editor-in-chief, Huo Lin has been a night owl since he was young, and the beginning of each day is after five o'clock in the afternoon, and when the old woman comes, it can only be regarded as Huo Lin's evening. Since it was evening, Huo Lin should have to relax and rest, but a woman who kept shouting that she was going to break the news was in the public office, and Huo Lin was separated by a thin wall, how could he not hear it. He was going to be furious, in the office area of the newspaper office, who didn't know that the editor-in-chief was a Hedong lion, and no one could stop him under the roar.
Huo Lin pushed open his door, pushed his glasses, and was about to explode, when he saw that it was an old woman he didn't know, and the fire didn't come out for a while. Booker was between the old woman and the editor-in-chief, and he looked at the old woman who was still chattering, and then at the editor-in-chief who was covering his heaving chest and forcing himself to have a smile on his face, and he really wanted to laugh. Booker remembered that the so-called masters in the Oriental martial arts, for the skills to be issued, if they are not vented reasonably and in a timely manner, they will cause themselves to be injured, and I don't know if the editor-in-chief will be injured, looking at that, it must be uncomfortable, but this is exactly what Booker thinks needs a lot of newcomers to learn, this is known as the old goblin of the newspaper, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper is indeed invisible, and the joy and anger are free. The old woman yelled at the newspaper that as long as she broke the news, she turned her back to the editor-in-chief who was forced to go angry. However, the old woman soon sensed that a very special figure had appeared on this occasion, and since he was not in her sight, he must be behind her. Turning around, I saw a long crooked winter melon head, no hair on it, and a rimless glasses on the nose that was not assertive at first glance, this guy was smiling at her, he should be the person he was looking for. The old woman walked straight towards the winter melon and shook hands easily, and the old woman said that his name was Tracy. Hollin wasn't interested in what her name was, the key was what she was here for. The old woman told the editor-in-chief that she was going to break the news.
What Huo Lin did, he himself always remembered better than his parents' names. It doesn't matter if I forgot my parents' names, but my career, achievements, and fame are all mixed up in this industry, so he remembers it firmly even when he is in a coma. Immediately called the assistant to prepare for a separate meeting, and the location was chosen in Hollin's office. Since it is a revelation, it is necessary to maintain absolute confidentiality before deciding to officially write it, otherwise it will not be possible to do the first copy in the world. Huo Lin even changed his way in the past, after the whistleblower gave him the information, he restricted the freedom of the other party to ensure the absolute safety of the news. Competition, that's it. Victory comes first, and as for whether the means are legal and reasonable, to hell with it. As soon as Huo Lin led the old woman into the office, the old woman began to roar, screaming loudly, you can't do this, how can you do this. This made the people outside the door stunned, what happened. Then the editor-in-chief with an embarrassed face came out and said to everyone, gather in the conference room, only one will be left at the front desk, and the rest will go.
Everyone looked at each other, and they were all a little worried, there were not so many places in the conference room, and it was estimated that most of the people would have to stand for a while. In fact, Huo Lin usually holds meetings only for the heads of various departments that are directly related to the matter, and almost never holds any plenary meetings, and it is also at the dinner party at the end of the year. Is he crazy? I guess it has something to do with the woman who just arrived. It's true, Huo Lin then invited the old woman out of his office, and from Huo Lin's respectful attitude, it can be seen that the old woman can break the news not to shock the whole planet, but also to shock the whole country. Booker whispered to his colleagues that the editor-in-chief's attitude was so right, like he was treating his mother. My colleague laughed like a snort. Booker was silent for a moment, as if he had never said anything ridiculous. Booker also learned this skill from the editor-in-chief, who once used the same method to disgust the fat pigs on the board.
The conference room was crowded, some were standing, some were sitting cross-legged on the ground, and some were even sitting on the high pile of information, no one cared where the others were, they were interested in what the old woman could come up with. The old woman was invited to the other end of the long table in the conference room, which was usually Huo Lin's exclusive position, and Huo Lin found a chair behind him and sat down. He glared at the assistant, who told everyone to be silent. There was no sound in the venue, and everyone felt that they were waiting for the old woman to start breaking the news. The old woman was a little squirming, and instead of beginning to describe, she asked the editor-in-chief a question, what year is this year. The editor-in-chief was stunned, he immediately realized the problem, I'm afraid that today he is receiving an old woman with a problem with her brain, but he has been on the road of life for many years, and experience tells him that he should wait and see. He politely told Tracy what year it was. The old woman said that it was so fast, it has been more than 30 years.
The old woman said that she had come to Hohring after reading their newspaper, and that Holeyn's newspaper had recently launched a campaign to arouse people's interest in reading the newspaper and to ask them to describe their most wonderful experiences. It's only been three or five days since the event started, and no one has participated, so Huo Lin is considering whether to get a prize to participate, so that the situation will be better. Tracy said she came to talk about her amazing experience, and it was a good revelation. So that's the case, Huo Lin couldn't sit still a little, he wanted to ask his assistant to arrange someone to receive the old woman, and it would be more interesting for him to go back to sleep. At this time, Tracy told everyone to close the doors and windows, and said that the revelations had officially begun. Everyone did it very willingly, so let's cooperate.
The old woman began to slowly talk about an incident in her youth, probably more than thirty years ago, in fact, that experience was not a one-time experience, but a process of time. The old woman said that her appearance was still very admirable when she was young, which made the people present very disapproving, and the old woman was fantasizing. She said that she was not married at that time, and she didn't even have a heart partner. In fact, she was a little girl who hadn't been in contact with many strange men, because the schools she attended were all girls' schools. One night, Tracy, who had been rehearsing for a day at school, was tired and fell apart, and when he returned home, he seemed to have to eat the dinner prepared by his mother, and hurried back to his bedroom after arriving at good night with his parents. Lying on the bed, she quickly fell asleep, that is, in the middle of the night, she felt a strange feeling, and her body was so heavy that she couldn't turn over. I wanted to rub my eyes and sit up, but I found that I couldn't move my hands and feet, and after my eyes opened, the scene that caught her eyes made her almost faint, and the feeling of her lower body made her feel even more helpless. A long, scaly face floated directly above her, and the creature swayed up and down as Tracy felt the monster's impact on his body. The old woman described this, and some of the women in the conference room still didn't feel comfortable, everyone looked at each other, and some began to snicker. The old woman went on to say that she was stunned for a moment, and when she wanted to scream, the other party covered his mouth with a hand with only four fingers, and the bumpy protrusion on that hand made people feel so unforgettable that Tracy still remembers it clearly. Unable to move or scream, Tracy and the monster were reconciled. Tracy asked the people around him, do you know what happened when this was about to end? The old lady's face began to feel a little embarrassed, her voice began to tremble, and he changed. Everyone said in their hearts, what's strange about this, it's a monster in the first place. The old woman said that the monster turned into a handsome young man at the end of the intercourse, like a movie star of the time. Later, Tracy saw an interview with the star on TV, and the bite mark on the other party's neck indicated that he was the man who sneaked into Tracy's room that night. Tracy said that at the end of this time, her mouth was no longer under the control of the other party, but instead of calling her family, she began to enjoy the pleasure that the process brought her. She said she was kind of in love with that guy at the time.
There was an uproar in the conference room, and the old woman was talking about the star who was a household name thirty years ago. Could it be that this person is actually a monster that can take on human form? The star was so caught up in the prestige he gained from the film and television industry that he almost succeeded in the gubernatorial election. To this day, some people still consider him a rare genius in the history of film, and of course the most handsome star in that circle so far. At this point, everyone probably understands that this woman is actually a madman, and that story is most likely her fantasy. Since it was a fantasy, not her experience, there was no need to take it seriously. Huo Lin glanced at the assistant and began to hand the old woman a cup of coffee, taking the opportunity to let Huo Lin answer. Huo Lin told the old woman that the newspaper was very interested in the revelations she had come to provide, and was going to do an exclusive interview, and would arrange for the best reporters to follow up on the topic. What needs to be done now is to leave Tracy's detailed home address, and then the newspaper will set up the most complete follow-up plan for the topic, arrange interviews and write it. The old woman heard it in a fog, and she asked Huo Lin if this was true? Huo Lin said that it was true, and said that he patted Booker, who was just next to him, on the shoulder, and said that it was him, the best reporter of our newspaper, and he would be responsible for the interview with you. The old woman made a request that the appropriate fee be given, that is, the material was not given in vain. Huo Lin smiled and said, Of course, we will consider this. He looked at the address left by the old woman, yes, this woman lives at 50 Queen's Road, which is the largest nursing home in the area, and she doesn't even have a home of her own? Huo Lin arranged for the assistant to lead the old woman out, and he turned his head to Booker, who was still standing next to him, and said, What are you doing in a daze, going to work? Don't want to get paid anymore? You little idiot.
When Booker was about to leave work, that is, when the editor-in-chief was at his peak, he was called to the editor-in-chief's office by the editor-in-chief's assistant. With his feet on his desk and his chair leaning back, the editor-in-chief said slowly that the company had decided to give Booker a chance to really take charge of a topic. It's an interview with an old woman right now, and the corners of the assistant's mouth next to him begin to rise, which is a smiling expression. Everyone in the newspaper knows that if the editor-in-chief asks a person to be in charge of a special topic, it means that this person becomes the project manager of the special project, and he has a lot of power before the end of the topic. Booker should have been ecstatic, but the interview with the old woman, isn't this a joke! The editor-in-chief called the assistant to follow Booker to explore other related issues and kicked Booker out.
Sure enough, Booker, the person in charge of the topic, has no treatment, and in the final analysis, he is just a name. Driver, no. Assistant, no, necessary equipment, no. Damn it, there is no funding. The assistant told Booker that the expenses requested by the old woman needed to be paid in advance by Booker, and that they would not be reimbursed until the topic was over and there was a sensation in the newspaper. Booker said in his heart, isn't this just digging a pit for me to jump? He looked around and saw that some people had a cunning look in their eyes and launched them. These bitches raised, maybe this pit was dug by them for the editor-in-chief. Before Booker could figure out what to do, the assistant grabbed his hand and signed the confirmation letter from the project leader, and then the assistant picked up the document and left. Booker threw the pen to the corner of the table, and then the pen fell to the ground and rolled to the feet of a colleague, who picked up the pen and handed it to Booker, saying that the special director, please give me instructions in the future.
Booker is in a very bad mood, the money in the bank account is not enough for his next life, how to take this topic, or change jobs. But where is it so easy to change jobs? Pull it down, the Oriental people said that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, take one step at a time and see one step at a time. He called his best friend to borrow a drink at a cheap hotel, and he took him to a family dance. The atmosphere at the ball was very good, which made Booker drink a lot, and Booker, who had drunk some wine, remembered the task he had just received, and then poured it into his mouth without high or low, so that he didn't remember the magic performed by the most handsome male guest at the ball, as if he was turning people into something, lizard? Yes, it's lizards, Booker didn't like it since he was a child, and he always felt that there was something evil hidden in his sharp head. He turned over on the bed, and waited, the guy who was conjured up last night also had some scales on his body, and the color seemed to be green in the dim light? Booker thought of something, he rolled over and got up, tidied up a little, and had to go out.
