174 Highlight Of The News, Wouldn’t It Be This Beautiful Face?
Hearing the long list of compensation, the woman’s face was filled with despair. She had no choice but to accept her fate and agree weakly. “I… I’ll compensate…”
All of this was their own fault, and it should have been a reward for Hao Yingqiang’s kindness.
However, Luo Feng felt that it was far from enough. “Oh yes, you still have to apologize to my friend through public channels.”
The woman said obediently, “I apologize.”
Seeing that she had finally relented, a smile appeared on Hao Yingqiang’s haggard face. Not only did he not have to compensate her, but he could also take back what originally belonged to him. Hao Yingqiang’s eyes turned red, and he suddenly had the urge to cry.
He covered his eyes and tried his best not to cry.
When Yang Bo saw this, he gently patted his back. After a night of torment, he finally received good news.
“Alright, alright, don’t be in a hurry to cry.” Luo Feng clapped his hands and said, “You must be hungry. Let’s go eat first. It’s all thanks to the lawyers’ help today. Reporter friend, come along.”
Che Xuesong waved his hand and said, “You guys go ahead and eat. Don’t mind me. I have to go back and organize the materials first. Hurry up and publish the article after writing it.”
Reporters fought for breaking news in their jobs. In order to be one step ahead of their peers, it was common for them to not be able to eat.
“Alright, I won’t force you to stay.” Luo Feng extended his hand and said, “Thank you for your help this time. Let’s meet again next time.”
“Of course, Chairman.” Che Xuesong shook his hand.
Luo Feng was more of a leader than he had imagined.
Che Xuesong returned to the office with his notes. As soon as he sat down and took a sip of water, the director stood at the door like a ghost and said leisurely, “Are you done? How’s the situation?”
“Pfft!” Che Xue spat out a mouthful of water. “Ch… Chief, are you waiting for me?”
“Cut the c.r.a.p. How’s the situation?”
“Ahem!” Che Xuesong coughed lightly and roughly explained the cause and effect of the matter to the director.
He thought that the director would be very surprised. After all, he was also very concerned about this matter. However, the more Che Xuesong talked, the deeper the director’s frown became. He shook his head repeatedly and said, “It’s not very good. There’s no story at all.”
In the end, Luo Feng crushed them the entire time. There were no ups and downs at all and they could not attract readers at all.
Che Xuesong remained silent.
How could he not know that what had happened could not compare to the various news in the past? However, Luo Feng had the strength, and the woman who had scammed him was blind. It was reasonable for her to be suppressed.
There was nothing eye-catching about it, but it was the truth. Che Xuesong agreed with the chief.
“Forget it, let’s just leave this for now,” the Chief said.
Che Xuesong opened his mouth, wanting to refute the director. After all, it was the result of his hard work. He would feel a little indignant if he did not send it out.
He said, “You should take a look at the material this time.”
He connected his phone to the computer and played the video. When the director saw the person on the screen, his eyes widened slightly and he watched seriously. However, his frown deepened.
Che Xuesong looked at the director’s expression and knew that there was no chance. He said dejectedly, “Alright, I’ll chase after the next news material immediately.”
“What’s there to chase?” The director adjusted his gla.s.ses and said, “Young man, you have to listen to the leader’s arrangements, understand?”
“Huh?” Che Xuesong did not understand what the director meant.
He saw the director press the pause b.u.t.ton and point at Ai Tingya’s side profile. “This face is already very attractive. Why do you need a story?”
“…” Che Xuesong was speechless. That worked?
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and write the news. Are you waiting for me to teach you step by step?” The director said and left the office with his hands behind his back.
Che Xuesong silently turned off the video and sighed deeply as he looked out the window.
This leader’s heart was really like a needle in a haystack.
Che Xuesong rested for a while and ordered takeout. He only started working after filling his stomach.
His media was a traditional print media. In the past two years, in order to cater to the changing market, it had also expanded online and cooperated with various portals.
The Internet spread faster, so Che Xuesong cut the video sample first.
After a while, the director strolled to Che Xuesong’s office with his hands behind his back and asked, “Are you done?”
“Done.” Che Xuesong nodded.
“Well, show me.” The chief walked over to the computer.
Before he clicked on the video, his brows were already knitted together. Then, he sighed.
Che Xuesong thought to himself that his work ability was not that bad. Why did the Chief start to be dissatisfied at first glance?
“You, you’ve been working for so many years. Why can’t you grasp the main point?” His tone was as though he was expecting better from someone. There was even a hint of sternness.
He had already said so much. Why did Che Xuesong not understand at all!
“Director… I… I’ll modify it again?” Che Xuesong felt very guilty.
He quickly recalled his video. All the key points were cut into it. He checked it three times himself. There shouldn’t be anything missing!
“Change! You must change it!”
“…” Che Xuesong clicked on the video and played it again.
He did not see what the problem was even after he watched it again. The video content was connected smoothly. He included the cause and effect, the expressions of everyone at the critical moment. What exactly was the director dissatisfied with?
“Um, Director, how should I fix it?” Che Xuesong asked carefully.
The Chief glanced at him, his eyes glowing with an unusual light. “Let me ask you,” he said. “What do you think is the most important thing to do in journalism?”
“Uh… um… Social responsibility? As a reporter, we have to have a social responsibility to expose the ugliness and promote justice?” Che Xuesong recalled the distant memories that Luo Feng had evoked.
When he graduated back then, he was just like those students. His blood was boiling and he wanted to eliminate the strong and help the weak to repay society. However, his subsequent work experience was not satisfactory.
In order to compete for the headlines, Che Xuesong had done things that avoided the important and avoided the trivial.
Could it be that the Chief was hot-blooded and felt that the video was not sharp enough? That it did not reflect the realities of society? That it did not cause people to think deeply? If that was the case, Che Xuesong felt that he was indeed lacking.
For a moment, it was as if Che Xuesong had discovered the Chief’s treasure. His eyes were filled with admiration. In the past, he had thought that the director was an old antique, but now it seemed that he was too shallow.
“The most important thing in journalism is the cover!” The director looked at Che Xuesong as if he was looking at an idiot. “Can’t you have some self-awareness and use that girl’s face as the cover?”
“…Huh?” Che Xuesong did not follow the Chief’s pace.
“Sigh… young man, you still have much to learn.” The Chief shook his head and silently left the office. He seemed to have completed some magnificent feat and was exhausted.
Che Xuesong’s lips twitched. He did not understand what sort of fashion standard the Chief was following…
