He Zixuan drove Ning Meng to the hospital to see Li Shang.

Through the glass of the ward, Li Shang was lying on the bed with his arms wrapped in bandages, looking up at the ceiling in a daze, Junjun and CC and a few employees peeled apples and fed him water.

"You won't be in a vegetative state, Ning Meng, you have to be responsible for others." Zixuan pretended to be nervous and said to Ning Meng.

Ning Meng didn't speak, and followed the two of us into the ward.

"The black hospital is darker than the sky, and there is a copper tripod at the door, known as a word and a tripod, and it is enough to prescribe this large pile of medicine to Li Shang for a lifetime!" Junjun complained to the doctor.

"That's because you didn't understand what they meant, what the hospital said is nine tripods, which means that the doctor says a word, and the money you spend can fill nine tripods." I say.

Seeing us coming in, Li Shang didn't react, but after seeing Ning Meng, his eyes suddenly lit up and he sat up.

"Look, this is the performance of the return to the light, I guess it's really choking!" Zi Xuan said.

"You're about to die, zombies, Egyptian mummies!" Li Shang stared at Ning Meng and said to Zixuan.

Ning Meng stood in front of the bed, stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly threw himself into Li Shang's arms and cried loudly.

"I seem to be in love with you, Li Shang." Ning Meng said while crying.

Li Shang was stunned for a moment, then hugged Ning Meng and said: "You said it to my heart, just last night, I fell in love with you at first sight, you have grown so big, there has never been a girl who stole my heart silently like this." ”

CC looked at the two of them, then at us, picked up his bag and said elegantly, "I wish you happiness and goodbye!" ”

Everyone in the room was stunned, and love sometimes came too suddenly, catching people off guard.

Last night, someone flashed his knife when Li Shang was beaten, confirming that it was a premeditated provocation. The security check at the bar is strict, and it is impossible for guests to bring knives in, indicating that there is an internal response among the night staff.

In order to prevent any more trouble, I asked Chen Xiao to greet the head of the police station in the Luoxue jurisdiction of Hokkaido.

Sending Lin Wei and David back to Beijing, I secretly asked about Guan Hai, Lin Wei sighed and said: "He hasn't seen each other since he broke up with Meiyu, in fact, they didn't break up, they made a wish to intervene." Anyway, it's fate. Nowadays, you can bet on anything, just don't bet on loyalty in love. ”

I told her to have time to see Lu Jiaqi.

Lin Wei said: "Don't worry, I've seen it twice in Beijing, he worked as a cameraman on a CCTV program, although he is not a regular job and has not signed a contract, but he has money to work, so take your time." ”

Things in the world are very strange, and when you talk to someone, you may soon see them. Just mentioned Lu Jiaqi, and within a few days I saw him, as well as Xiaomi.

I met them because of a news event.

Hundreds of students in a middle school were poisoned by food, and two children died after failing to be rescued.

The first to receive the report was Xiaomi, and the newspaper she worked for was a central-level media.

Xiaomi and two other media outlets organized a delegation to interview. Some doctors privately revealed that the source of the poison came from pork, and the pork eaten by students contained organic arsenic and other chemical hormones, which can stimulate the development of pigs and the bright color of their fur, and sell them at a good price.

After a secret investigation, Xiaomi found that the pigs came from a large pig farm in a county, and at the beginning, the county magistrate also said in the media that the people must eat assured pigs and green pigs.

What made Xiaomi even more angry was that the meat eaten by the students was a batch of dead pigs. Dead pigs are not normal birth, old age, sickness and death, but die violently after eating hormone feed.

Originally, Xiaomi's interview was very private, and no one knew that she was coming, but Liu Nannan and Zhao Junqing told me.

It turned out that the pig farm that Xiaomi secretly visited was secretly invested and built by a charitable foundation, and the legal person of this charitable foundation was Jiang Shan.

In fact, it is a common phenomenon for charitable foundations to invest money in business circles under the guise of new countryside and pension and medical care, and many charitable foundations are nothing more than financing in disguise, investing in the name of charity funds to make money, and then trying to launder the money.

Xiaomi gave full play to the suspicious and sensitive advantages of media people, and dug out the inside story of black businessmen investing in black charity.

Fortunately, Xiaomi has a high level of professionalism, and during the interview, it will report to its home and show its documents. Jiang Shan told Zhao Junqing after learning her identity, and Zhao Junqing told Liu Nannan again. As soon as Liu Nannan heard that it was Xiaomi, he immediately called Lu Jiaqi.

Before Xiaomi returned to Beijing, Lu Jiaqi rushed to Lucheng at Liu Nannan's strong request. But no one expected that Xiaomi rejected Lu Jiaqi's intercession and insisted on "exposure".

Considering that I used to be a colleague with Xiaomi, she also took care of my dog all the time. Liu Nannan and Zhao Junqing found me.

I first asked Lu Jiaqi to explore the wind, and Lu Jiaqi said to me with some shame: "Brother, I'm really sorry!" I really want to help you, but I can't do anything, Xiaomi doesn't listen to me, why don't you try? You two used to be colleagues, and you were our matchmakers, so maybe she'll listen to you. ”

felt that he owed Zhao Junqing, Jiang Shan, and Liu Nannan favors, so he went to find Xiaomi. Millet packs her things in her hotel room and prepares to leave.

After I finished the situation, I finally added: "This matter is like digging a well, the original intention of the well digger is good, it is to let the people drink clean water, but the person who manages the well has a problem and puts poison in the water, which cannot be blamed on the well digger!" The well digger is a good person, and the person who poisons is a bad person! ”

Xiaomi smiled and didn't speak for a long time.

I couldn't figure out her psychology, and found that she had changed, and she was no longer the simple girl who came to the station alone to see me off with tears of loss.

In fact, people will change, with the environment changes, with age, with habits, but some people become cleaner, some people become turbid, and some people become numb.

After a moment of silence, Xiaomi suppressed his smile and said lightly: "There are no good people and bad people in this world, only people who have done good things and bad things. I don't want to hear excuses, even if the murderer has a million reasons, he killed after all. I helped this only because you, not you, convinced me. ”

Xiaomi promised to communicate with the other two peers, only starting with the pig farm, and not mentioning Jiang Shan and his charitable foundation behind it.

Before leaving, Xiaomi said to me: "Xia Yu, don't forget that you are a journalist, saying that the responsibility is a bit big, but we should understand what we should do and what we can't do!" ”

Her words caused a wave in my heart, and I was speechless for a long time.

This matter is over with us, but the government has fallen into passivity, and Xiaomi hates them to the core.

Earlier, Millet wanted to interview the local government of the pig farm, and she wanted to meet the county magistrate to ask the officials who were promoting the green pig farm to talk about their views, and it was said that she planned to ask the county magistrate if he had eaten the pork, and if the county magistrate dared to say that he had eaten it, she would immediately take him to eat the "poisoned pig".

Xiaomi's idea quickly fell through, and he went back and forth many times without seeing anyone.

The last time I went to the interview, Xiaomi was eating noodles outside the county government, I heard that she was going to see the county magistrate, there was a noodle eater next to her who laughed, and the noodles were sprayed on the nose of the person opposite, and this person said to Xiaomi while wiping the nose of the person opposite: "Oh my God! Why can't you think about it like that, there's nothing wrong with it! The county magistrate is what you can see if you want? What can be seen is not at home, and what is in charge cannot be seen! ”

Xiaomi was thoroughly enraged.

She lost patience, forgetting that calmness is a necessary quality for a journalist, and rushed straight into the meeting hall of the city government, where a deputy mayor was lecturing on the way of Anbang.

Millet snatched his wheat, stared viciously at the dozens of county magistrates and bureau chiefs who were dumbfounded and said, "A bunch of garbage! Social scum! All the sesame officials who did not enter the stream in the past now regard themselves as uncles, and they don't stay in the office to do things for the people, so they know that they hold meetings, drink Moutai, play mahjong, pack mistresses, embezzle public funds, eat finance, publicize in newspapers, talk nonsense on TV, a group of big rats, eat pot-bellied, and have fat brains, what do you want? ! ”

She was about to continue, and the leader sitting on the rostrum shouted to the security guards who rushed to hear the news: "Who let her in?" This is a remiss of duty! Several bureau chiefs and county magistrates close to the rostrum listened to the leader's words and rushed forward to tow the millet away.

This scene was all secretly filmed by Jiang Wanlin's subordinates with DV.

Jiang Wanlin got the news in advance that this kind of "media circle" who makes a living by accumulating money, like flies, always has a keen sense of smell for rotten eggs, and will move whenever there is a "rancid smell".

He didn't know Xiaomi, but he knew Lu Jiaqi, and he didn't know where he learned about the relationship between Xiaomi and Lu Jiaqi, so he got Xiaomi's trust as Lu Jiaqi's friend, and sent someone to go straight to the city government with Xiaomi.

Xiaomi's righteousness is to solve the problem for the masses, but Jiang Wanlin has another plan to track this matter.

In recent years, in addition to being a reporter for the so-called "Half Moon Reference", Jiang Wanlin also founded the Supreme Justice Legal Network, which uses the red flag and national emblem as an eye-catching symbol to publish the speeches of state leaders on the punishment of corruption and the legal system on the advertising board.

When they find clues about the corruption of government officials, they publish them with eye-catching and vigorous headlines, and then make profits on the grounds of deletion and exposure.

It has been said that society has made as much progress as society tolerates the media. A civilized society with the rule of law needs the supervision of the media.

But from another point of view, how widespread the media and public opinion in a society is, how bad the civilization of this society is.

once went to Jiang Wanlin and found that Wen Yan and Feng Gu, who were dismissed by the TV station, were actually working under him.

After they left the TV station, they couldn't find a suitable job. As a journalist, the best skill is writing, and I can't let go of the mentality of being a copywriter in a company. In the past, when dealing with various units, he was respected, and ordinary enterprises did not pay attention to it at all, but now he has been dismissed by the TV station, and his status is missing, and along with the loss of dignity.

In the end, both of them chose to wander on the fringes of the media circle, and what Jiang Wanlin lacked most was professional news talents. Two TV station elites came to defect, Jiang Wanlin was particularly important, paid a high salary, and the two helped him to give advice, using rich news experience, and soon won a large number of "money-making business".

In the past, Wen Yan was an image of "hearing and daring to speak, and the people were blue", vicious as hatred, upholding justice, and daring to fight against social injustice.

Now, he has become a journalistic blackmailer, and there is no trace of the past except for the bald image.

I treated them to a meal.

Feng Gu, whose beard had been trimmed cleanly, said to me in a branded suit: "Fuck the news ideal!" How can I say that I am also a graduate of a famous university, full of enthusiasm, full of ambition to do a career in the TV station, in terms of ability, I am a hundred times stronger than those children, I have been a temporary worker for so many years, I am despised, eat chaff and vegetables, give me the treatment of a beggar, not to mention, in the end, I will unload the mill and kill the donkey, and kick Lao Tzu off! From then on, the master only made friends with the surname Qian, and the rest was! ”

The teacher in torn jeans and with lofty ideals about journalism is no longer visible.

Jiang Wanlin said to me privately that Wen Yan and Feng Gu's changes show that for talents who are not met with talents, if they do not crack down, they must be used, and they will be left to their own devices, regardless of whether they are used, once they are used by the enemy, they will cause disasters, and the disasters will be endless.

Later, he added: "The Buddha has the Buddha path, the demon has the demon path, and without the demon there is no Buddha, they are opposed to each other but also depend on each other. ”

Seeing that I didn't seem to understand, he smiled and said, "Take your time." ”

Jiang Wanlin's experienced candid photographers miraculously broke through the government compound and escaped from the high-walled compound under the siege and interception of the security guards. By negotiating with the government on candid videos, Jiang Wanlin earned a sum of money for online public relations.

However, the government and Xiaomi failed to negotiate, so they immediately sent people to Beijing to dredge up the three media leaders.

Eventually, Xiaomi's efforts turned into a short message.

After the dust settled, a few reporters from Xiaomi came again.

This time I came to send a follow-up report, saying that it was a follow-up, but in fact, the publicity department had already prepared it.

Xiaomi also brought a vice president of the newspaper where he worked, surnamed Tang, a middle-aged man with a big belly, his fingers and teeth were scorched with smoke, and when he spoke, his bad breath hit his nose and nose, making it impossible to look directly.

I want to express my gratitude to Xiaomi, but the propaganda department has covered all the food and accommodation, so I can only buy some gifts for her.

I know a few painters, who are famous in the "stone department" of the local painting school, and I asked for two stone paintings to give to Xiaomi and her boss, Mr. Tang.

Xiaomi and Mr. Tang stayed in a four-star hotel in the city, and it was already 10 o'clock in the evening after the Propaganda Department entertained them, and they were going to take a flight back to Beijing the next morning, so I decided to send the paintings that night.

Call her first, the mobile phone can't be connected for the time being, and go directly to the hotel.

When he was about to knock on the door outside Xiaomi's room, there was a burst of a girl's gasping and moaning from the room, like Xiaomi's voice.

The mattress creaked, and a man gasped and made a dull "hum" sound like a pig eating.

I thought to myself that maybe Lu Jiaqi was here, taking advantage of Xiaomi's official business trip and coming over sweetly.

Walking to the window diagonally opposite Xiaomi's room to smoke a cigarette, there was a faint shouting in the room, which seemed subtle and clear in the quiet corridor.

The night was dark outside, and there was a layer of green smoke and mist floating in the sky, which was a full moon night, and the sky and the earth were cut off by flowing clouds and smoke, making the night dull.

Half an hour later, with a dull man's scream, the room was like a deflated ball, and it fell silent in an instant. I thought I'd knock on the door later, so as not to be embarrassed.

There was a rustling sound in Mi's room, and the door opened.

I subconsciously looked over there, only to see a shirtless man with a big belly and a shirt.

Mr. Tang!

Mr. Tang glanced at me hurriedly and hid in the next room in a panic. I glanced at Xiaomi's room in surprise, but met Xiaomi's eyes as the door was closed. Millet was wearing a bathrobe, her hair was messy, and her face was crimson, and she was stunned when she saw me, and then closed the door with a "bang".

I stood outside the door, my heart as messy as Xiaomi's hair, not knowing what to do next.

The door slowly opened again, poking out Xiaomi's flustered face. She hid herself behind the door and whispered to me with a look of shame, "Come in." ”

I saw her show her snow-white neck and said embarrassedly, "You put on your clothes first." ”

At this time, I realized that the Xiaomi phone could not be connected was deliberately set.

Mi barely squeezed out a smile and half-closed the door, and after a rustling sound inside, the door opened. When I walked into the room, she changed into a pink sundress pajamas, her head was lowered, her hands tugged at the corners of her skirt, and her chest was half-hidden, like two little white rabbits about to come out.

I put the bag on the table and said, "These are two stone paintings, both of which are works by famous artists, you have helped me, and I always want to thank you!" ”

She looked up, didn't speak, tears welling up in her eyes.

I said, "It's too late, rest early, I'll go first, and I'll treat you to dinner when I have time." ”

When she raised her legs and walked out, she suddenly hugged me from behind, and said in a trembling voice: "Xia Yu, I beg you, don't tell Jiaqi." As long as you don't tell him, you can do whatever you want. ”

Hearing her say that, I feel sad in my heart.

I felt sorry for Lu Jiaqi, but I didn't want to blame her, I felt that there was a breath in my chest, so I could only sigh.

I turned around slowly, and she shrugged her shoulders from crying. I sighed and said, "Xiaomi, don't do this." I don't need you to do anything, and I won't tell Jiaqi, as long as you feel worthy of him and yourself in your heart! ”

Millet lowered her head again, sobbing and said, "You might think I'm a shitty, frivolous woman—"

Without waiting for her to finish, I said: "It doesn't matter what others think, what matters is what you think and what Jiaqi thinks!" ”

Xiaomi suddenly raised her voice and said, "It's not what you think!" I'm doing this for the sake of my family, for our future. ”

Immediately, she said in a low voice and a hoarse voice: "Jiaqi came to Beijing from here to find me, gave up everything, his income was unstable, he was under a lot of pressure, and his hair was about to fall out. But he had no way out, and even without me, he could only stay in Beijing and never come back. He has always wanted to have a home and a home in Beijing, and I am grateful to him and love him. The newspaper has built a staff community in the third ring road, and the internal price is only more than 5,000 square meters. You don't realize that we are alone and never have a home. I don't want to be so lowly either, I'll regret it when I'm done! I'm sorry Jiaqi! With that, she slapped herself, and I grabbed her.

Looking at the sad millet, my mood is as heavy as the moonlight that is round and uncertain this night.

After discovering the "secret" of Xiaomi, I felt that I couldn't face Lu Jiaqi, and every time I heard him talk about Xiaomi happily in the future, I was at a loss.

There are too many secrets hidden in life that we have not discovered, and we may not know the truth and the ugly side for the rest of our lives, so that we will be very happy and content. Once the secret is exposed, it is like a bottomless pit of evil, where blood and pain will flow endlessly, and it will never heal.
