Shallots

Chapter 98

When Qi Feiran returned home, Lin Shixin was working at the desk with a pen in his mouth, the sound of typing on the keyboard was crackling, his mind was spinning fast, and he was typing so fast that Qi Feiran was standing behind him , he still knows nothing.

After being able to surf the Internet, Lin Shixin finally got in touch with his old life. First, he made several long phone calls with Yin Fanxing, and then Xie Yichen reported to him the current situation of TV A that seemed to have changed this month.

Lin Shixin was very anxious. He wanted to return to A TV as soon as possible to recover the lost ground. Since he worked, he has never taken such a long vacation. With a fast-paced life, the workplace is more competitive than the battlefield, let alone them For this kind of media workers, new things emerge with each passing day, and if they don’t make progress, they will regress again and again.

Qi Feiran patted him on the shoulder, and then he turned his head and looked at him for a while, with a dazed expression.

Qi Feiran took out the pen from his mouth, lowered his head and kissed his lips quickly: "Are you so busy?"

"Well," Lin Shixin stood up and stretched, "Eat?"

Qi Feiran said, "Okay."

He washed his hands in a good mood, changed into his home clothes, and sat at the dining table to wait.

Then Lin Shixin gave Qi Feiran a peach, and put it squarely in front of him.

Qi Feiran looked down at the washed peach, the corners of his mouth curled up.

Ever since Lin Shixin tricked Xia Yi into running out and was dragged back by Qi Feiran, the battle between the two of them has escalated.

First of all, Lin Shixin didn't allow to be touched or hugged, and the kiss had to be a quick sneak attack to kiss, and then the food became more and more foolish.

The day before yesterday was white rice with stir-fried green bamboo shoots, it was really green and white; yesterday was egg custard with steamed corn, it looked like a simple dinner that could be done in 10 minutes, today I just gave a peach.

Although Qi Feiran doesn't know how to cook, he is never picky about food. Lin Shixin eats what he does. Lin Shixin deliberately fools him, watching him triumphantly, waiting for him to get angry, and he is not fooled. What kind of food will he serve him? , he ate all in silence, eating with a low eyebrow and a pleasing look was a little pitiful and a little obedient.

Lin Shixin took a crisp bite of his own peach, the juice soaked his lips, it looked very sweet, Qi Feiran also started to eat his own peach, the two of them finished eating the off-season peach from abroad, relatively indifferent Word.

I used to drink with other men in the bar, and I heard them complain that my wife drove me to sleep on the sofa, or kicked me out of the house, and even refused to eat, Qi Feiran thought to himself, he also tried these things over and over.

Lin Shixin stroked the edge of the table with his fingers, looked at Qi Feiran, as if he had something to say, Qi Feiran saw it, and pretended not to see it.

After finishing the "dinner", Lin Shixin went back to the desk and continued to type on the keyboard. Qi Feiran didn't understand what he was busy with. He was supposed to be on duty, so what should he write?Before when he was not connected to the Internet, Lin Shixin would wander around the living room after dinner, take a walk to digest food, and then lay down on the sofa with a book, looking at it with relish, but now he immediately went back to the table, writing something again .

Qi Feiran sat not far from Lin Shixin, and when he deliberately took out his mobile phone, he dropped it on the ground and made a loud noise, Lin Shixin didn't even look back at him, he guessed that he was beside him at the moment* Even Lin Shixin wouldn't look at him.

He thought he was ridiculous.Back in high school, when Lin Shixin was fascinated by writing articles, reading books, or brushing up questions, Qi Feiran would silently look for some sense of presence beside him. Raising his hand and snoring his head, now he seems to be deliberately ignoring him.

When he thought it was "intentional", he couldn't help but stare at the back of Lin Shixin's head with sorrow and hatred.

Qi Feiran knew that he didn't feel safe, and after he came back, this kind of "uneasiness" grabbed him all the time.Lin Shixin is used to being alone, and it is easy to immerse himself in his own small world. If others disturb him, he can't help but frown and then run away. When we first got together, Qi Feiran often looked at Everyone thought it was cute, and would provoke him on purpose, just to see his angry expression, but after being forced to break up until now, Qi Feiran has a psychological shadow in this regard, and seeing him frowning, impatient, When he speaks bad words to himself, he will rush to Tianling Gai in a fit of anger, "You really can't stand me anymore", "You want to drive me away again", "You want to run away again", these thoughts are filled in his mind , he couldn't help but wanted to threaten him with harsh words and even make a move, and then the relationship between the two became more rigid...

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Lin Shixin turned his chair and looked at him.

Qi Feiran came back to his senses: "Nothing."

"I have to go to A TV tomorrow." Lin Shixin folded his hands on his knees, and the warm yellow desk lamp behind him cast a soft light and shadow on his side face. "It's too chaotic now. Must go back."

Qi Feiran looked at his serious expression that couldn't be ignored, and really didn't dare to touch his scales again, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there."

Lin Shixin was a little surprised. During the day, he thought about how violently he would refuse Qi Feiran when he made this request at night. He even thought of three plans to fight against Qi Feiran, calling the police, jumping out of the window, and throwing the ring.He snickered, Qi Feiran made him look like a shrew, already non-violent non-cooperation.

Unexpectedly, Qi Feiran agreed so readily. He breathed a sigh of relief, and before the smile on his face faded, Qi Feiran made a request: "I'll pick you up after get off work, you can't just run away without saying a word."

Lin Shixin nodded and said, "OK."

Seeing his restored eyes and a slightly sly smile on his face, Qi Feiran immediately felt that he had been fooled, almost instantly, he wanted to go back on his word.He has never touched Lin Shixin's computer, so he doesn't know what he has been doing at home this day, maybe it's another defection?

He gently pulled the wheeled chair where Lin Shixin was sitting in front of him, gently pinned Lin Shixin's hair hanging in front of his eyes behind his ears, and looked at him affectionately.This is a sign, whenever Qi Feiran does this action, the follow-up content will be unsightly.

Lin Shixin frowned slightly, avoided his hand, stood up and ran to the bedroom, and whispered before closing the door: "I have to go to work tomorrow."

Then there was the click of a locked door.

Qi Feiran smiled disappointedly.He didn't understand, why did he still feel unrequited love after being together for so long?

Early the next morning, Qi Feiran first drove Lin Shixin back to his home to get his A-TV pass. After he changed his clothes and took his bag, and hung his pass around his neck, Qi Feiran ran out of the house. Can't wait to look outside, feeling very happy.

Qi Feiran parked the car in front of the A-TV building slowly, like an adult who is reluctant to leave after sending a child to school, he looked at Lin Shixin who was about to leave at the door, with a solemn expression on his face.

"I'm leaving, bye, if it's too late at night, you don't have to pick me up." Lin Shixin turned around and strode away, three steps at a time and two steps into the gate of A TV.The expression of sudden relaxation after he turned around did not escape Qi Feiran's eyes.

Qi Feiran watched his back disappear at the door of TV A. After a long time, he drove the car to WF. He kept talking to himself on the road, Qi Feiran, please be normal, shutting down for a month is enough. If this continues, he will only want to escape even more. Yu Jingdong said that distance creates beauty. He didn't come because he didn't like a restrained personality. Why did you tie him up...

I thought so, but when he received a call from President Huo of NH, Qi Feiran couldn't help becoming anxious: "Release the news as soon as possible, but don't release it too deliberately, he is not a fool, um, vote more and vote less , is his own choice, more than 20? His appetite is really big..."

Lin Shixin had already known the drastic reforms of A TV through Xie Yichen's description the day before, but when he actually came here, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him. He saw crowds of people in the news center, young boys and girls They jumped up and down, some were busy in front of and behind the old reporters, printing, photocopying, serving tea and water; 6 o'clock; some look like quails, holding small notebooks and memorizing things on the seat, nodding like chickens eating rice, and some rush between the studio and the editing room with manuscripts in their hands.

"Excuse me!" A tall and thin boy said to Lin Shixin, pushed his shoulder away and walked into the meeting room.

After Lin Shixin was knocked aside, he turned his head and looked at the back of the person, trying to identify if it was someone he knew, but it turned out that he didn't.

Xie Yichen took him by the arm and took him to the office lobby of the news center to sit down: "Xiao Lin, you had such a pure holiday, why didn't you turn on your phone? No one can contact you."

Lin Shixin twisted open a bottle of mineral water, took a sip, and said with a wry smile, "I haven't rested for a long time, if I want to rest, I should rest thoroughly."

Just as he was talking, Deputy Director Chen, who had heard the wind, had already entered the room. The young people stood up instantly, and said loudly, "Hello, Director Chen!"

Lin Shixin almost spit out water from his mouth, and looked at Xie Yichen suspiciously, Xie Yichen whispered: "These kids have already omitted the word 'vice' for flattery."

Deputy Director Chen walked up to Lin Shixin in a few steps, and said enthusiastically, "Xiaolin is back? Come on, let me introduce you. This is our famous investigative reporter, the soul of today's focus. ——Lin Shixin, Lin Ji, you all know each other, right?"

The children said in unison: "Know!"

Then they started chattering and clapping.

"He is currently the director of the news center, that is, your news director. He is responsible for scheduling and arranging the planning and interviews of major project topics. You still have a lot to learn from him..."

Lin Shixin: "Uh..." Before he could express his opinion, he was assigned to the post of behind-the-scenes coordinator.

The embarrassing introduction was over. Lin Shixin was sitting in the luxuriously decorated and empty "News Center Director" personal office, touching the "Lin Shixin" brand name plate in front of the table, with mixed emotions in his heart.

It's ridiculous, five years of hard work, four journalism awards, a first-class press card, all these add up, it's not as good as Qi Feiran's secret meeting with Deputy Director Chen, and he can get himself this position.

He is not a lofty person, and he once thought that one day he would retire to the second line and become the head of the entire news center at the age of 35. He thought that he would drink champagne to celebrate that day and get drunk with his team Fang Xiu, he didn't expect that this position would fall into his pocket when he was less than 25 years old, and he was not at all happy.

Qi Feiran didn't even use WF itself to solve the investment problem of A TV. Lin Shixin didn't know which of them were "resource exchanges" with Qi Feiran and which were pure Brand promotion and traditional media traffic are declining. They need sponsors and start-up funds for public welfare topics. In front of money, no matter how powerful they are, they have to kneel.

Maybe it was because of this that he felt a sense of humiliation being suppressed in front of Qi Feiran.Lin Shixin does not think he is a glass-hearted person. In many situations that are extremely unfavorable to him, he is a person who knows how to be consistent and self-regulating. No matter how poor he is, he never feels inferior to others.

Except Qi Feiran.Only in front of Qi Feiran, he will feel that his efforts have become ridiculous. Under the operation of capital, he is like duckweed. If he likes you and praises you, you are the director of a huge news center. Everything returns to zero.

Lin Shixin threw the director's nameplate on the table into the drawer.

There was a knock on the door, and a round-faced little girl came in, and said with a smile, "Hello, Director Lin, I'm your assistant Xu Feifei. This is the list of selected topics for the content center, for your review."

Lin Shixin nodded his head. When a monk strikes the clock one day, he is ready to finish the work.After receiving the topic selection form, he began to look at them one by one.

Strangely enough, during the New Year's Day period in January, A-TV's in-depth report selected the topic of "authenticity of the news".

This is a sensitive issue of self-stealing. Unless there is a major news accident, the relevant media will do this series of reports. How can they usually choose this kind of topic?Besides, Deputy Director Chen has always been a proud person, why did he suddenly "check and correct himself"?

Lin Shixin made an internal call and asked Xu Feifei to come in: "Give me a copy of this month's program schedule."

Xu Feifei asked: "When did it start?"

Lin Shixin pondered for a moment, then said, "Start from today."

After the program manuscript arrived in his hands, Lin Shixin studied it carefully for two hours, and then smiled incredulously.

What the hell? A TV actually published such a news report full of loopholes?

He called the reporter of the news into his office.

The kid who came in was 22 years old, a sophomore in A University, a recipient of a national scholarship, named Fang Rui, tall and thin, the same person who bumped into Lin Shixin in the corridor in the morning, with a dark complexion and hairy hair. It looks trendy and cool.

At this moment, Fang Rui had a smirk on his face, and was curiously looking at the legendary figure, Lin Shixin.

"Fang Rui, hello," Lin Shixin smiled, looking down at the manuscript, "This is the news you collected, right? Maoxuewang made of human blood."

Fang Rui smiled and nodded, with a smug expression on his face.

Lin Shixin frowned and read: "There are four members of the family, the younger brother is seriously ill and bedridden, the husband and wife run a restaurant, and the older sister is in high school. In order to save costs, they don't hesitate to use their own blood to make Maoxuewang. The blood in the kitchen is creepy... ..."

"Yes, I did it, Lin Ji, you, you are my idol, hehe, you wrote the school motto on the wall of our school, your handwriting is really good, especially the calligraphy..."

"Fang Rui, did you investigate this news?" Lin Shixin interrupted him.

Seeing his serious expression, Fang Rui immediately said seriously: "Yes, I went there five times! It's absolutely true!"

"Duck blood is 12 yuan a catty, and human blood is at least five times higher than duck blood. Don't these couples who are in business know this kind of account?"

"Maybe, maybe there is no place to sell blood, and selling blood is breaking the law now," Fang Rui said.

Lin Shixin pulled out his mobile phone, checked Maoxuewang's recipe, and said, "The ham, beef, and fat sausage in this dish are all more expensive than duck blood. Why don't you use substitutes for other things? Why do you have to substitute them?" Duck blood? It’s so scary to use human blood?”

"I don't know, anyway, I went to the trash can and found bloody toilet paper..."

"Then you diverge your thinking and make up stories?"

"No! I, I overheard it!"

Fang Rui became excited, beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and turned to glaring at Lin Shixin: "Lin Ji, this is the news that I have been collecting for more than a month. You questioned the authenticity within two hours after you came here, and you also said that I It's making up a story, what does that mean?"

Lin Shixin said: "I just think it's very strange. So far, this news, apart from attracting attention, has nothing else..."

"Why can't I make eye-catching news? The social response after this news is broadcast is conceivable. I can become a regular with this. Lin Kee, we have seen your resume. You were in high school When I was born, I went undercover to arrest drug dealers, so I made an exception to admit A TV. Is it possible that I walked this way and didn’t let others go?” Fang Rui was young and energetic, and immediately spoke insultingly.

Lin Shixin laughed, this person still has the potential of a reporter, and he slapped him with a few words. He put the manuscript on the table and said, "Why is your idol so narrow in your eyes? I just mentioned that I don't think so. As for the solution, I may have thought wrong, or you may have checked it wrong, why can’t you bring it up..."

"Lin Ji, I'm a rural child. It's not easy to get to where I am today. There are more than 100 interns outside, and it is said that less than five can stay. You can be wrong, but I can't make a mistake. After all , I don’t have your backing, I can take you to work in a luxury car.” Fang Rui said this sarcastically, his eyes full of sarcasm.

No matter how well-mannered Lin Shixin was, he wanted to throw the manuscript in his face right now.

With his hands on the table, he took a deep breath for a while before swallowing it.

Fang Rui hesitated whether he should rush out the door, but Lin Shixin obviously had something to say, and the two faced each other awkwardly without speaking.

After a while, Lin Shixin flipped through the manuscript and asked, "You said you heard it with your own ears?"

Fang Rui: "Yes, I pretended to go wrong and slipped into the back kitchen. I heard from the husband that the blood drained is enough for today."

Lin Shixin thought for a while, and then asked, "Did you take the vegetables for testing?"

"No, I wanted to collect evidence, but failed several times, but I found paper with human blood in the kitchen wastebasket."

Lin Shixin stared at him for a while, let Xu Feifei come in, asked for the address book of the nearest A-TV personnel, looked it up in order, and made an internal call to the girl who recently entered the finance department: "Hi, it's from the finance department." Xiaoyin? Hello, I'm Lin Shixin."

"Lin Ji, ah, hello, hello, you are coming to work! Yes, is there anything you want me to do?"

"It's like this, Xiao Yin, please help me check the transfer record. The news center paid for it, and the caller was Gao Chengyu. Please send me a copy of the transfer record in the company mailbox. Keep it secret! "

Gao Chengyu is the name of the male owner of this restaurant.

Fang Rui was baffled by his operation: "Transfer? Did the news center send money to him? Impossible. Only I have Gao Chengyu's contact information. This is my exclusive report!"

The laptop on Lin Shixin's desk dinged, and there was a new email.

Lin Shixin waved to Fang Rui: "Come and see."

Xiaoyin is an intern cashier who has just joined the finance department, and she doesn't know about the surging "team" on TV A. After she found out the transfer record, she quickly sent it to Lin Shixin by email. Thinking of reporting to the immediate leadership and Deputy Director Chen, this is why Lin Shixin looked for the "newcomer" in the finance department from the personnel address book.

"Expenditure details: news center - news clue provider Gao Chengyu - advance payment: [-] yuan."

"What, what's going on here? Lin Ji, I didn't give him the money! I-I didn't know about the fee!" Fang Rui became anxious when he saw the invoice record.

Lin Shixin sighed.

In the evening, Lin Shixin drove Fang Rui and stayed in the alley of the couple's restaurant until the shop closed.

The lights in the car were off, the back of the seat was laid flat, and Lin Shixin and Fang Rui were lying in it, motionless.

The shutter door of the restaurant was lowered by Gao Chengyu. The eldest daughter was carrying a schoolbag. The father was on the left and the mother was on the right. A family of three was walking on the road.The daughter said to her mother who was holding her arm, "Mom, that reporter stopped picking up paper in the kitchen. That's great. I haven't had any nosebleeds lately."

Dad laughed and said, "It's enough for him to write after picking it up for a few days."

Mother worried: "Husband, do you think this can be done?"

Dad reassured: "If there is anything that can be done, their leaders have come forward, and the money has also been obtained."

Their voices became farther and farther away until they could no longer be heard.

Lin Shixin and Fang Rui raised the back of their chairs and sat up. Fang Rui clenched his fists tightly and suppressed his sobs.

Lin Shixin didn't know what to say. He must have been very shocked when he encountered such a dirty thing when he first entered the society.

"Lin Ji, why is this happening?" Fang Rui asked, the tears still couldn't be held back, and fell down.

"You may not know that the key report of Taili in January is the authenticity of the news, and the reason why this topic is discussed is because..."

"It's because I'm about to make a fake news, and there's blood and blood, right?" Fang Rui said.

"Stay positively first, then backfire, this is the usual way of hype. After the news breaks out, the show will gain more credibility because of its courage to admit its mistakes. In the end, the sacrifice is only you, who is unruly and unruly, and your future in the news. " Lin Shixin said to him heavily.

"Then what should I do? Why me? Why did you choose me?" Fang Rui asked.

"You are the best intern, and you are also the most... disobedient. You are very similar to me back then, so I chose you." Lin Shixin said.

"What should I do now?" Fang Rui's teeth were itchy, this feeling of being designed made him feel stuck in his throat, he might as well be unhappy.

"The most favorable response to fake news is the truth of the news." Lin Shixin said.

Fang Rui nodded. He wanted to truthfully report his wonderful internship experience and Deputy Director Chen's "cultivation of Gu" to deceive cheap labor.
