Chapter 638: 'Posturing'

The news reporter has met a well-informed, young and vigorous young man with a wild mouth, and Hanks has met many of them in current affairs interviews.

After the alcohol that rushed to his head made his professional intuition useless, and he couldn't feel the extraordinary temperament of the black-haired young man in front of him who was unintentionally revealed between the provocation of his eyebrows, the ace reporter put down the biscuit, raised his wine glass high, and shouted with a smile: "I have seen a lot of boastful young people, but you are the one with the most tone, I toast you for this, cheers." ”

"Cheers. The young people around raised their glasses playfully and cheered at the same time.

Zhang Lisheng, who was ridiculed, was stunned for a moment, and then Ruili's pleading voice sounded in his ears, "Oh Lisheng, Hanks is just drunk, don't be angry, please, please..."

"Am I being so stingy, Ruili," the young man smiled coldly and whispered, "This is your promotion party, I won't mess it up."

What's more, I would like to see this Hanks reporter regret it for the rest of his life than blood. He turned and left the wooden house.

An iron gate separated the noise, marking the two worlds, and the cool air outside was refreshing, and the young man sat on the low wooden fence under the eaves, looking at the homeless man on the lawn who was tightly wrapped in a tattered down jacket, and he didn't know what he thought, his originally gloomy face gradually changed, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, I remember you're Ruili's brother, right?" Under the starlight, a slender figure sat on the wooden fence a little further away from the young man, sipping a cocktail. "Don't worry about Hanks, he's so conceited when he's drunk, and sometimes aggressive, which is a common problem of 'strong' males, isn't it, I apologize to you on his behalf." ”

"There is no such common problem for the truly strong. Interrupted by his contemplation, Zhang Lisheng smiled noncommittally, took a deep breath of dry and cold air, turned his head to look at the beautiful side face under light makeup half a meter away, "Apologize to me instead of Hanks, "Are you his partner?"

"I used to be, but now I'm an independent outbound reporter for NBC. My name is Julie Michiel. Ruili just introduced it to you. The slender figure stretched out his hand to the young man.

"I'm Zhang Lisheng," Zhang Lisheng shook the slender palm in front of him decently, and said politely: "On such a long spring night, it's an honor to chat with a beautiful lady like you." ”

"Oh. It seems that you are not as wooden as I thought. Mr. Lai Sang. Julie smiled in surprise and said, "I see." You must have been pretending to be deep and pretending to get the girls' attention, right?"

"No, I never wanted to get anyone's attention. In fact, from the age of sixteen to the present, I have always tried to make myself look ordinary in the eyes of others. The young man looked ahead, smiled and shook his head.

"But you're saying this to get my attention, aren't you, oh, I thought you really had some big news.

Well, you petty accostais, if you can do me a little favor," the female reporter put down her glass and picked up a plate full of biscuits and veal patties that she had quietly brought out to the party, "give these food to the homeless man on the lawn, and I don't mind a few more words with you." ”

The increasingly harsh economic environment, especially the scarcity of natural resources, has led to an increase in the number of unemployed people in many oasis cities in the Noah's world, and the number of homeless people in the more affluent communities has naturally increased, but in fact, if you are willing to accept the high-intensity, relatively poor working environment, it is not difficult to make a living.

From this point of view, the vast majority of beggars in the city are in fact immersed in the lax "Labor Law" and generous social welfare of the old peaceful era, and are automatically eliminated by the cruel new era.

Hearing the girl's words, the young man was stunned, and a sneering smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, although he maintained basic politeness, and did not say anything disrespectful to attack Julie's excessive conceit, but he did not speak again.

After waiting for a while, the black-haired young man next to him was indifferent to his request, just looked at the homeless man on the lawn not far away with an indifferent gaze as if he was looking at the garbage being randomly thrown on the side of the street, and the female reporter frowned in the bright moonlight.

Then without saying a word, she stood up and stepped on her high heels, limped to the lawn, put the plate full of food in front of the nearest beggar, whispered something, and the homeless man muttered, "Xie Lu Xie, Xie Lu Xie..."

After a while, the crisp sound of chocolate biscuits chewing and the faint aroma of fried cold beef tempted the other beggars on the lawn to shout around as well, and Julie waited patiently for them to divide the whole plate of food, then put away the plate and returned to the wooden fence with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the unchanging sarcastic smile of the black-haired young man on the side, and an inexplicable anger rose in her heart, and she rebuked in a sharp tone unique to a journalist: "There is nothing wrong with young people being different, but don't 'make a mistake' with the most basic sympathy." ”

"It's not very sympathetic to help a beggar with food from someone else's elaborate party. Zhang Lisheng stopped looking at the girl, and inadvertently replied.

Hearing this, Julie was even more annoyed and explained loudly: "I have already asked Ruili, these are the leftover food..."

"If it's leftovers, it should be thrown in the trash, shouldn't it?"

Julie was choked by the young man's words, and wanted to refute but had nothing to say, her face flushed, and it happened that the door opened, and with the sound of dance music pouring out of the room, Jones poked her head out, saw the girl standing outside and the plate in her hand, shook her head, and hurriedly said: "I guess you are going to be kind again, head, come into the house, and sing a thank you song to Ruili." ”

Thank-you songs are a new part of the Mi people who migrated to the Noah's world to participate in private parties, mainly because the times have become difficult, and it is no longer so easy for the host to hold a party full of sincerity, so if the guests are satisfied with the hospitality, they should sing and express their gratitude.

And that gave Julie a chance to get out of the awkward situation, and she replied, "Oh, it's so late, Jones." He hurriedly ran into the house, calmed down a little, and clapped his hands around Ruili with other colleagues, singing "Friendship is Priceless".

After singing the thank-you song, the guests began to say goodbye, but Julie stayed until the end of the party, and took a few good and kind colleagues to pack up all the rest of the food and give it to the homeless people on the street, and then called a taxi to leave.

The car was driving in the brightly lit city, the whistling cold wind blew away the drunkenness and the heat in her heart, Jones, who was sitting in the passenger seat, shook her head with her forehead, closed the thin slit on the window, and said enviously: "Ruili is really lucky, Dad migrated to the Noah's world early, so that she could save a lot of rent, and the family was safely reunited." ”

Cathy, who was behind the girl, exhaled a puff of wine, shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's indeed a good thing to pray for the whole family to be reunited in 'Noah', but it's not a long time to live together, and if it were me, I'd rather spend money to rent a house by myself." ”

"What's wrong with living with my family, I have made up my mind since I was a child to live with my father and mother before I got married, but unfortunately, it's a pity that I don't have a chance now. Jones was silent for a moment, then said in a low tone.

Seeing the sadness of the friend she touched, Cathy panicked and hurriedly joked: "Is it Jones, if you have a brother like Ruili who is treated as a baby by her stepmother and is not related to you by blood, is she really willing to live with her family?"

"Oh, Cathy, you're mean to say that, Ruili is a good friend of ours. Jones said this, but she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Julie, who was sharing a car with the two girls, was stunned and asked, "Are you talking about a young Asian named Zhang Lisheng?"

"Yes, head, ah, I seem to see him when you're outside the house at the party," Jones said with wide eyes in misunderstanding, "Well, in fact, according to psychologists, it's good that 'mom' type men are kind, quiet, and rarely get into vices..."

"Jones, if the psychologist really said that, Ruili's Asian brother is even the villain in 'Ma Bao', and his pretense is disgusting. ”

"Head, why do you say that, that guy, that guy won't do anything to you, will you?" asked Jones and Cathy in unison, extremely curious.

"It's worse than that," Julie shrugged, venting her resentment and disdain for the brunette youth on the way home.

When she woke up the next day, the female reporter had already forgotten everything that happened last night, and a week passed unconsciously in her busy work.

On this day, just after the report of a homicide case, Julie had not left the police and surrounded the cordon with a yellow rope, when she suddenly heard a rapid bell ringing in the bag in her hand that she was carried by the assistant.

"Head, it's Mr. Henry's phone, it seems that there is work again, and there is no hope for the noon meal. Cathy took out her phone and glanced at it, and handed it to Julie listlessly.

"If I have to work at noon today, I will eat it tomorrow, and since I promised to invite everyone to eat steak, I will never owe it. Julie smiled and said that she answered the phone and heard an unusually excited voice in her ears, "Julie, God forbid, the interview car of Pattin's group was hit by a cement truck, and Luqi went to the hospital."

Now that big news of LS Group's crazy acquisition of desert land has now been taken over by us, you should rush to the Neptune Mansion now, contact Hanks, he is already on his way, remember to be in the lobby of the Neptune Hotel within fifteen minutes, hurry, hurry, hurry!" (To be continued......
