Chapter 7 seven

Like most cities, except for the headquarters of the party, government and army, the buildings of the TV station, bank and customs headquarters are always the most magnificent, elegant and urban landmark buildings in the city.Of course, the TV station Ding Jie works in is no exception.Every time she walks on its mirror-like marble floor and touches the aluminum-plated metal carved doorknob, Ding Jie always thinks that it would be more appropriate for her to wear the very expensive "Suri" camel hair coat newly arrived in the department store.It was a kind of black or dark brown coat with fur luster and excellent hand feeling. It was thick, light and warm, with a flowing and noble temperament.But sometimes, she wishes she could dress casually.Because there are often some middle-aged and elderly people from counties, villages and towns who come to petition in front of the TV station. They are eager to meet a half-hearted TV director here, who can directly expose their "grievances" on TV.Most of them have been to Beijing, and they have tried every means to find people who have been to "Focus Interview" or "News Network" at the door of CCTV.They go out to petition all the year round, carrying a small bedroll and a broken travel bag, and their bodies are generally more attractive and smelly.But they are not dull, some of them actually articulate, memorizing the policy provisions of various periods and the speeches of central leaders;Some of them went to Ding Jie as soon as they arrived.Because they knew that she was the director of the news department of this TV station, they clamored to ask her to take the decision for them.Every time this happens, the guards standing guard at the gate of the TV station will send a signal to Ding Zhi in advance.She drove her dark green Opel, avoided these people, and entered through another door.Of course, among the people we can see at the gate of the TV station, there are more, and it should be said that they are the most energetic people in this city.They are young, and their faces always show a very confident and very tired excitement; they are regarded by almost everyone as a group of people who are experiencing good luck.

Those who did not petition today stopped Ding Jie at the gate.She entered the main building of the TV station smoothly, but when she walked into the big office of the news department, she was suddenly surrounded by the editors and reporters under her.These male and female editors and reporters in the news department are as young as each other, and their clothes are as modern as each other.Before Ding Jie entered the door, they were discussing the murder that happened in Laifeng Villa yesterday.When Ding Jie just walked into the small glass cubicle marked "Director of the News Department" on the door, before she turned on the computer as usual to check emails, and before she even took off the brown mid-length woolen coat, After changing out the women's colorful rubber boots stained with snow and cement, making a bag of Nescafé coffee, and eating two high-end cookies to satisfy their hunger, they rushed in.Of course, the youngest female reporter was the first to rush in.Then, all the people rushed in at once, which really surprised Ding Jie.

"Sister Ding, I heard that when Secretary Zhang of the municipal government was shot to death yesterday, you were at the scene..." 0 "I'm still a hundred or ten meters away from the scene." Ding Jie said while bending down to get a thermos bottle. A female reporter snatched the thermos bottle, poured coffee for Ding Jie, and asked: "Do you know what the police's judgment on this case is? Who might be the murderer? What is the murderer's motive? It is said that the police were in Laifeng yesterday. The villa has deployed quite a lot of police force to protect the leaders from all sides. Why did the murderer choose such a time and place that is extremely unfavorable for him to commit the crime?"

Ding Jie picked up the coffee cup, stood up, shrugged, made an exaggerated gesture, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, are you forcing me to hold a press conference? I have not participated in any activities of the parties, let alone Any activities of the killer. No comment on any questions you may have. The press conference is now over." "Oh, sister Ding, you were only a hundred meters away from the scene of the shooting. You could hear the gunshots clearly..." the youngest female editor pursed her lips and yelled. Ding Jie immediately denied it: "No, I didn't hear any gunshots. The gunshots are said to be very muffled."

"It doesn't matter whether you heard the gunshots or not, you are very close to the scene anyway. Tell us a little inside story! Who told us to be journalists?" The youngest female editor was still not reconciled. Ding Fa had no choice but to take out the oral order of the Taiwan leader to resist.At two o'clock this morning, the director of the station called her and emphasized that, according to the instructions of relevant parties, the murder of the city government secretary should not be publicized or disclosed in any form in any program of this station.Especially the news portal, we must take care of this in the near future; we must reiterate the propaganda discipline to editors and reporters. "Offenders, be careful of your jobs!" Ding Jie emphasized half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Everyone fell silent.At this time, the phone on Ding Jie's desk rang.The call was made by the master worker in the reception room, telling her that there was a policeman at the gate who wanted to see her.Ding Fa hesitated for a moment: "Police? What's your surname?" The teacher in the reception room told her that her surname was Fang.Ding Jie got angry when she heard it: "Fang? Is it Fang Yulin? Please tell this Fang, I see all policemen with any surname in the world, but I don't see him as a policeman." With a bang, he hung up the phone heavily. Of course, the teacher in the reception room didn't know the details here, so he had to truthfully tell Fang Yulin about Ding Jie's attitude.Fang Yulin was not in a hurry, he handed the master a cigarette, then stood silently for a while, while the master was looking down to find a match, he suddenly turned around and walked towards the big iron gate.The master hurriedly rushed out to stop him, Fang Yulin turned around and made an apologetic gesture to him, threw him a simple lighter, and walked straight in.

A few minutes later, Fang Yulin appeared in front of Ding Jie.Ding Jie seemed to have expected this.Ding Jie knew Fang Yulin too well. Whatever he wanted to do, he had to try his best to do it.He had told her earlier that God created men to let them do what they should do regardless of everything.People who don't want to do things, or don't have the energy to try their best to do what they should do, have grown up so much in vain, and they don't deserve to be called men.Maybe it's because she has lived a particularly meticulous and standardized life since she was a child. Whenever Fang Yulin speaks so bluntly and rudely, she is always uncomfortable and uncomfortable, but she always approves and is very happy in her heart. She always feels that Fang Yulin It made up for what she lacked spiritually all her life and was always looking forward to.It is a very latent and extremely tenacious thing.Ding Jie even guessed that it was for the "money" that he came to "excuse the teacher".

Of course, when Fang Yulin really appeared in front of her, she was still slightly taken aback. She was afraid that he would make her unable to step down in front of so many of her subordinates, so she quickly stopped him: "Fang Yulin, you..." But Fang Yulin made a silent gesture to tell Ding Jie to be quiet, and while closing the glass partition door, he took out a bulging brown paper envelope from his coat pocket and gently placed it in front of Ding Jie. The envelope contained 1,500 yuan that she sent to Fang's house. Fang Yulin said calmly, "Please order a little. 1500."

For some reason, Ding Jie burst into tears.She said angrily: "Fang Yulin, you...don't be so deceitful!" Probably because Ding Jie's yell was too loud, the young editors and reporters outside all turned their heads and cast curious glances at the director's office. Fang Yulin put up a finger again, put it on his lips, and made a silent gesture: "Shh..." Ding Jie picked up the envelope and walked out without looking back. They hurried out of the bright and spacious corridor of the TV station one after the other.They walked through a green area in the TV station compound one after the other, walked to an annexe in the backyard, and walked into a small unused dressing room.There is no one else here.Ding Jie gave Fang Yulin a hard look, and said, "Okay, I'll take back the money. I've been blind all these years!"

Fang Yulin said, "I still have a few words to say." Ding Jie asked: "A business or private matter?" Fang Yulin replied: "Private matters." Ding Jie said: "Don't talk about private matters. Fang Yulin said, "You must listen." Ding Jie had no choice but to say: "You say it, you say it! Fang Yulin said: "I know you are good to me and to our whole family..." Ding Jie became even more angry, and shouted: "Shut up! But Fang Yulin said: "I am grateful to you from the bottom of my heart! Heaven and earth can testify that in these years, except for you Ding Jie, Fang Yulin has never had such close contact with any other woman. I am treating and handling the relationship between you and me It is absolutely serious and prudent. But..."

Ding Jie sneered: "What a but! Fang Yulin said: "However, there is a feeling that has been tossing in my heart for ten thousand times. I want to get rid of it a thousand times and ten thousand times, but I can't get rid of it a thousand times. I have a thousand times Telling myself ten thousand times that this feeling is just an illusion, but when it recurs a thousand and ten thousand times, I realize that it is not entirely an illusion. Even if it is an illusion, we have to take it seriously ..." Ding Jie interrupted Fang Yulin and said, "I know what you want to say." Fang Yulin said: "I think you have already felt this. We both have too many different things in life experience, family upbringing, personality level and deep in our hearts... You and I will live together for a long time. It's really not suitable to live together..." But Ding Jie said, "No, I don't feel that way." Fang Yulin said: "Ding Jie, you often say that you are a woman who is more rational than emotional. In this matter, why can't you be more rational, objective, and calm? You should believe what I just said , is the responsible confession of a mature man, it is extremely painful for me to draw such a conclusion..." Ding Jie stopped talking.Her face was pale, and she sat with her back to Fang Yulin in a daze, with a moist luster faintly shining in her eyes.After a long time, Ding Jie stood up suddenly, although there was still a trace of moisture in the corners of his eyes, but from the whole expression, it seemed that he had regained his composure.She said: "Yes, I said that I am a very rational woman. If you are not forgetful, I also told you that I am also a very stubborn, very confident, and often play a little bit of a woman. Whether in Under no circumstances do I let other people decide what I want or don't want. I don't force others to love anything, but I don't let others control me and tell me what I shouldn't love..." Fang Yulin said: "I'm not trying to influence you, but this matter is a matter between two people after all. Besides, Ding Jie, think about it...you are almost 30, you can't delay any longer..." Ding Jie said: "What's the delay? If you, Fang Yulin, are anxious to find another woman to marry and start a family, don't make trouble with me!" Fang Yulin really couldn't argue: "Why is it that I am anxious to get married and start a family again?" Ding Jie pointed at the kraft paper envelope: "It is true that I sent the money to your home. But the idea of ​​sending the money is not entirely my own. I know you very well. I know that if I send you money, I will definitely Hurt your self-esteem as a machismo, but my dad insisted that I do this. He has always cared about your dad's body, and he has never forgotten him as an old subordinate, and he is also concerned about your family's situation. So, this money... If you want to return it, return it directly to my dad." Then, he threw the envelope containing the money back to Fang Yulin with a "snap", and walked straight away.
