Chapter 161: Compromise.
"Have you memorized the manuscript that Sister Wang Qi gave you?" asked Qiu Feng in a gentle tone to Xi Xi.
"It's back... But... This manuscript has nothing to do with my work...?" Xi Xi replied in a skeptical voice as he recounted the details of the manuscript in his mind.
"That's... Because today's guests know your work very well... Anyway, you remember one thing, your autumn wind sister won't harm you. Qiu Feng heard Xi Xi's skeptical tone, and skillfully played the emotional card to divert the topic.
"But..."
"No, you're going to be on stage in five minutes, you have to remember, this opportunity, but Sister Qiufeng I paid a lot of money for it. You must take advantage of this opportunity!"
"That's... Okay..."Xi Xi looked at the editor with a sincere face, and she could only reply helplessly.
Soon, in the call of the backstage host, Xi Xi was brought to the stage by the autumn wind editor.
Compared with the press conference stage of xx.com, the stage of dolphin network is not only very exquisitely arranged, but also full of an indescribable warm atmosphere.
Xi Xi was numbly brought to the stage by the editor of Qiu Feng, she looked at the audience with anticipation and the beautiful and friendly host, her brain suddenly went blank.
It was the first time she had been stared at by so many people, and it was the first time she had seen so many smiles.
These scenes, which only appear in dreams, made the girl on the stage, who was very inferior, tremble.
She opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything, and she couldn't remember a word of the manuscript that she had memorized.
Panic, emotion, sadness, and a deep sense of inferiority welled up in her heart at this moment.
Because of Xi Xi's short silence, the hypocritical smile in the audience slowly put away, revealing an impatient expression. The host on stage began to warm up non-stop to relieve the embarrassment.
Qiu Feng editor looked at the embarrassing scene, she stretched out her hand and pinched Xi Xi's waist hard.
With intense pain, Xi Xi finally came to his senses.
She looked at those complaining eyes and the host's embarrassed smile, she wanted to escape, looking at Xi Xi's appearance, Qiu Feng snatched the microphone from her hand.
"I'm sorry, she's so nervous. Autumn Wind soothed the audience's mood in as gentle a tone as possible.
After all, she is a girl who has suffered from cold violence on campus. Thank you for your understanding. The autumn breeze took advantage of the situation and stretched back the hand that had just pinched the mat.
The host heard Qiu Feng's words and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. She looked at Autumn Wind with grateful eyes and hinted at her to continue.
Qiu Feng looked at the useless Xi Xi and showed an imperceptible sneer, she took the microphone and began to add fuel and vinegar to recount Xi Xi's experience.
In her mouth, Xi Xi's experience began to distort into a weak person who was looked down upon because of obesity, constantly suffered from cold violence, and had several suicidal thoughts.
In Qiu Feng's exaggerated narration, the dissatisfaction and complaints on the faces of the audience gradually turned into sympathy.
After Qiu Feng looked at the audience's expressions, she completely let herself go. didn't care about the stunned expression of Xi Xi next to him, and then exaggerated what happened to Xi Xi.
And as the narration goes, she also symbolically squeezes out a few tears, deepening the authenticity of the story.
Qiu Feng took out his iPad to show a screenshot of Xi Xi from being constantly hurt by campus violence to being despised by low-quality readers because he started writing books on xx.com because of loneliness.
Looking at those low-quality scolding little fat pigs, and book reviews that say writing garbage. All the audience started talking loudly.
The book reviews that Zhang Xixi wrote a book on xx.com and were insulted were like pieces of evidence, which completely aroused the anger of all the audience.
Xi Xi looked at Qiu Feng's move, and she wanted to explain that those who scolded her were her classmates, not readers. The autumn wind was alert in front of Xi Xi.
She said to Xi Xi in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you." ”
It's just that this sentence is obviously not as convincing as before, Xi Xi desperately wanted to squeeze forward and grab the microphone to explain, and the host on the side walked up to Xi Xi very smartly and hugged Xi Xi and said loudly: "I'm sorry for revealing your previous scars." Only, please remember that those scars are only in the past tense. ”
That's it, with this host's chicken soup and this heartwarming gesture.
The angry audience at the scene and some of the trustees of Dolphin Network loudly denounced online violence, campus violence, and the rights and wrongs of xx.com.
These "voices of justice" cover up the truth that Xi Xi wants to tell, and in Qiu Feng's more affectionate speech, they tell how hard this little girl came to the truth and worked hard for her dreams.
Xi Xi finally gave up the truth and chose to be silent.
Xi Xi is not a fool, but because of his young age and lack of social experience, he is simply easy to trust people. Through Autumn Wind's speech, she understood that this was the use of Dolphin Net against her.
But even if she understood, what could she do? in the face of the recognition she had been working so hard for, and the voice of justice that protected her in the dream, and finally the trust in the autumn wind.
Let this little girl, who is only 16 years old, learn to compromise.
Perhaps, her sixteen-year-old life has been compromising.
She didn't know why, but she was silent but began to cry.
Perhaps, it was because of Qiu Feng's hard work to tell her, or because she remembered the dozen or so readers who stood by her at the beginning of the xx network.
In short, none of this matters. She is like a puppet, manipulated by the language edited by Autumn Wind.
I don't know how long it took, Xi Xi walked off the stage under the leadership of Qiu Feng. Just as she went up, the same numb mechanical confusion.
She listened numbly to Qiu Feng's recognition and praise for her, and numbly took a reward red envelope full of money. Numbly, he put on his big schoolbag and went home.
Like a soulless body, she wandered the path home she knew best.
At ten o'clock in the evening, she walked home. She was greeted not by warm greetings and hot dinners, but by the beating and scolding of her father, who is a scientist, and her mother, who is an ordinary middle school teacher.
Not only because she came home late, but also because she skipped class and her grades dropped.
She came to her senses under the slap of her father's hatred, and she looked at the parents who were full of justice contrary to the dolphin net.
She just lowered her head silently, then took out the thick stack of red envelopes and handed them to her parents.
With their surprised expressions when they saw more money than her own salary for a few months, she whispered that this was the money she had earned by writing books.
Then, she burst into her room, locked the door, and cried under the covers.
When her parents knocked desperately on the door and asked her how she was doing in various tones, she only replied with a heart-rending cry.
After all, she has been compromising all her life.
