When the day's interviews finally ended and they checked into the hotel, Lu Beicen and Wen Mengran collapsed on the bed, unwilling to move.
The fast pace of these two days made Lu Beicen deeply feel that this profession is not easy. It was different from her previous internships and traineeships. Back then, it was hard work, but it didn’t need to be like this. During the filming stage, she had to interact with people.
A battle of wits and courage.
Taking a breath while blowing on the air conditioner, the setting sun had already dyed half of the sky orange. Wen Mengran looked out the window and said lazily: "What's wrong? Are you tired? Or are you still confused by the complicated situation behind this simple case?
, surprised?"
Lu Beicen remembered the questions he had asked two days ago and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Chen Fang was quite right. After all, he had seen too few of them.
"Okay, don't stop talking. What should we have for dinner tonight?" Wen Mengran continued.
"I don't seem to have any appetite." Lu Beicen said softly.
Wen Mengran suddenly sat up and looked at Lu Beicen with a concerned look on his face: "Don't you have heat stroke?"
"No, no, I'm fine, I'm just really a little tired." Lu Beicen waved his hands feebly.
"You don't want to give in, do you?"
Lu Beicen laughed in surprise and sat up: "That's not my style. If you want to quit, I'll quit early. Why wait until now?"
Wen Mengran nodded as if he breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the rhythm when I come out for interviews. I am a little tired, but I will recover after sleeping on my body. But mentally, I must not follow the case. I will first
Let me give you a vaccination. To put it indifferently, this is a job. As professional journalists, we must have a strong heart."
Lu Beicen nodded in agreement, but he still couldn't help but ask the question in his heart: "I was just wondering if Yuan Li's marriage had broken down early, wouldn't there have been such a tragedy today, but I couldn't have imagined that.
How can she resolve this predicament?"
Wen Mengran stood up and boiled a pot of hot water, with an unknown smile on his face: "Let's imagine that when she got divorced for the first time, she simply divorced and hid outside to work. Yuan Qiang's family is so powerful.
She will definitely not be allowed to take the child away, and she will even continue to harass Yuan Li’s parents’ family. Then she will basically end up betraying her relatives, and she may cause other troubles, which are all unknown.”
"So, there is no solution. Anyway, I don't have the wisdom to solve it, but what is certain is that I will never choose such a man and elope with him..." Wen Mengran sneered and shook his head.
There was a muffled sound of boiling water in the hot water kettle, and the two of them were silent for a long time. Wen Mengran suddenly laughed again: "Actually, do you know? I heard from my former teacher that after being a reporter for a long time, especially social and legal reporters,
You will believe in fate. Many things are destined from the beginning."
The kettle was boiling and the power went out. Lu Beicen stood up consciously, poured out the kettle of water, unscrewed the two bottles of mineral water prepared in the room and poured it in, then pressed the boil button, and then asked softly: "You
Will you find an expert to do the interview?”
Wen Mengran smiled and nodded: "Although it is an afterthought, it is better than nothing. I also want to hear how those so-called emotional experts will solve the problem. I also need to find a legal expert to talk about it. I hope the brothers and sisters of Yuan Li's family
If we can see her, we should hire a lawyer for her, which is the last human resource we can get close to."
Lu Beicen understands Wen Mengran's mood very well. As a legal reporter, he is not allowed to make any inappropriate actions or say anything that should not be said during the interview to interfere with the normal handling of the case and the trial process.
They are just recorders of events. There is a line in the heart of every qualified reporter. It is invisible and intangible, but it is there and cannot be crossed...
"Where's your tea? Let's make a cup of tea to whet your appetite. Let's go find something delicious." Wen Mengran took boiling water and soaked a teacup provided in the hotel and asked with a smile.
Seeing Lu Beicen taking out the tea leaves and cup, Wen Mengran laughed again and said: "I will also take a cup with me later. Don't tell me, drinking hot tea on a hot day feels quite good, but you are
It's quite strange, and the clothes are slovenly, but this kind of thing is quite particular."
"I'm just used to this. My mother didn't let me drink cold water since I was a child, even in the summer. You don't know, I used to see other people's children eating popsicles and drinking ice soda in the summer, and I was so envious..."
The two were drinking tea and chatting when Wen Mengran's cell phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, Lu Beicen noticed that she seemed to curl her lips inadvertently.
After answering the phone, Wen Mengran said with a helpless smile: "Yes, someone is here to treat us. Everyone is downstairs. Let's call Master Du and Xue Feng and let's go together."
Lu Beicen already knew that this man was Wen Mengran's cousin, so he smiled and said nothing. Wen Mengran walked to the door, turned around, and said to Lu Beicen who was following him inexplicably: "I have nothing to do to show my courtesy."
Ha, you understand?"
Lu Beicen looked at Wen Mengran's questioning eyes, and immediately reacted: "Ah, no way."
Wen Mengran just laughed, turned around, opened the door and walked out.
Lu Beicen followed behind but shrugged his eyebrows in disbelief. When Wen Mengran knocked on the door next door and called out Xue Feng and Master Du, the four of them went downstairs together. As soon as they got out of the elevator, they saw Wen Qingxian.
Xian leaned against the wall opposite the elevator. When he saw them coming out, his eyes lit up and he waved.
"This is my cousin Wenqing, who is also on a business trip to Lixi. These are my colleagues, Master Du, Xue Feng, Xiaolu." After Wen Mengran introduced him like this, Wenqing immediately understood that he was telling him what happened last night.
, that classmate Xiaolu didn’t mention a word in front of his colleagues today. His eyes glanced at Lu Beicen, who was as quiet as an invisible man, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became a little deeper.
Seeing them chatting, Wen Mengran asked with a smile: "Can you treat us to something delicious?"
"How about roasting a whole lamb in the vineyard?" Wen Qing asked as he turned around and walked out.
"Oh, it's not bad. It suits this girl's wishes. So what, you drove here alone?"
Wen Qing shook his head and said: "I was afraid that there were too many of you, so I drove two cars here. You can just leave your car in the hotel."
"Okay, Master Du, you can relax and have some wine tonight. You've worked hard these past two days."
Master Du was obviously very happy with this drink. He nodded with a smile and said, "It's okay to drink less. I have to get up early tomorrow."
Wen Mengran laughed and said, "Don't be so modest. For those of you who can drink two kilograms, don't worry, the rest of us together are no match for you."
Wen Mengran thought about it and asked Wen Qing again: "How big is the sheep? Is it enough to eat? I'll call two friends."
Wen Qing shrugged his eyebrows: "Don't worry, just call me whatever you want. If it's not enough, I'll give you something else."
Wen Mengran asked about where to eat, walked out of the hotel, and went straight to the side with the phone in hand. Wen Qing greeted Master Du and Xue Feng to get into the Audi in front, and arranged for Lu Beicen to sit in the Mercedes Benz behind.
Lu Beicen looked at Wen Mengran who was still on the phone. Wen Qing took a few steps closer and said in a very gentle voice: "Xiao Lu gets in the car first, it's hot outside."
