"Beyoncé, I was bullied!" Ruth's expression at this moment can be described as pear blossoms and rain. She was holding her mobile phone while telling her friend across the way about her tragic experience tonight.
"Didn't you go to work as a trainee reporter at Time Magazine? What's wrong, are you being bullied by your boss or your colleagues?" Ruth's friend opposite asked in confusion.
The two were classmates in college, both majoring in journalism. Before graduating this year, Ruth went to intern at Time, a famous American magazine, and she became the envy of many girls in the school.
But she didn't expect that less than a month after arriving, she called her crying and complained that she was being bullied. It was difficult for her friend, a girl named Beyoncé, to understand.
"No. I was bullied by a player!" Ruth explained to Beyoncé while choking.
"Player, what player?" Beyoncé on the opposite side looked a little surprised.
"Didn't I tell you that I was assigned to the sports section of Time Magazine? Today I was sent to Chicago by the editor-in-chief to cover the game between the Chicago Bulls and the Detroit Pistons. At the post-game press conference, I asked the guy named Jayshawn
I asked a question, but not only did he not answer, he also yelled at me. Beyoncé, he is so bad. I am going to be pissed to death now!" Ruth finally told Beyoncé what happened today.
But she didn't expect that after hearing these words, Beyoncé on the opposite side did not immediately comfort her, but fell into silence.
After waiting for a long time and not hearing anything from Beyoncé, Ruth became a little anxious.
"What's wrong? Beyoncé, what are you thinking about?" Ruth asked a little surprised.
"Oh, no. It's nothing. Why did you get scolded by him?" Beyoncé's tone sounded a little absent-minded.
After hearing Beyoncé's question, Ruth told Beyoncé everything about tonight's press conference, including the questions she asked and how Chen Jie answered them.
After finishing speaking, Ruth continued: "Beyoncé, what do you think I should do? I hate this man so much, but the higher ups have decided that I will repay them with the Bulls this season. How should I report it? He
He probably hates me so much that I think it will be impossible to interview him in the future!"
After Ruth said this, she waited for Beyoncé's suggestion.
But once again, Beyoncé fell into silence and did not answer for a long time.
"Beyonce, Beyonce..." Ruth waited for a while, then became impatient and started calling her name.
"Ah, what's wrong?" Beyonce opposite seemed to have just come back to her senses.
"Tell me, what should I do, Beyoncé!" Ruth asked her question again.
"Anyway, you're just covering a game like this. You're going back to New York right away. Who cares!" Beyoncé on the opposite side didn't know if she didn't hear what Ruth just said, so she gave such an answer.
"What? Beyoncé? Have you listened to me again? I told you. This season, I will be with the Bulls. What's wrong with you, Beyoncé? Is there something going on over there?"
Hearing that Beyoncé didn't hear what she just said, Ruth even temporarily forgot about her grievances and began to ask curiously.
"I, I don't have anything!" Beyoncé said quickly.
"No, Beyoncé, are you hiding something from me? Do you know this Jayshawn?" Ruth casually guessed a possibility.
"No way, no way, how could I possibly know this Jayshawn!" Beyoncé's explanation was a bit anxious, as if such speculation made her very excited.
Ruth originally just asked casually, but after hearing what Beyoncé said, she became a little suspicious.
"Anyway, Beyoncé, there's nothing going on at school recently. Otherwise, you can come to Chicago to accompany me. Haven't you always wanted to be a sports reporter? Come and experience it in advance!" Ruth made such a suggestion.
"Going to Chicago?" Beyoncé heard this and felt a little embarrassed.
"I..." Beyoncé seemed to want to refuse.
"What are you, Beyoncé, when your friend is in trouble, you can't just sit back and watch? I'm here alone, you come and accompany me. That's it, tomorrow, I'll wait for you to come tomorrow, remember, you must come!"
After Ruth said this, she hung up the phone without giving Beyoncé a chance to choose.
Beyoncé, who was sitting opposite, heard the beep on the phone and froze.

With Li Ming'er's comfort, coupled with Li Ming'er's hard work in bed at night, when he got up early the next morning to train, Chen Jie's anger due to last night's failure and reporter Ruth's questions had almost disappeared.
At least, Chen Jie still had a faint smile on his face while driving to the training ground.
When he arrived at the training ground, Chen Jie parked his car, greeted the staff, and then went to the locker room to change clothes and go to training.
But when he got to the locker room, he found that his teammates who had come in advance were gathering there one by one, as if they were talking about something.
Normally, Chen Jie is usually one of the first to arrive, but last night because this woman Li Min'er worked too hard, Chen Jie had to work hard, so after sleeping more this morning, when he came, the Bulls
These players have already arrived.
Originally, according to custom, players who came early would not wait for their teammates in the locker room. After changing into training clothes, they would basically go to the training hall to warm up first. But today, for some reason, all their teammates were here.
In the locker room.
What happened?
Opening the door to the dressing room, Chen Jie was a little surprised when he saw this scene.
When they heard the door being opened, the Bulls players who were talking about something unknown stopped one by one.
When they saw that the person coming was Chen Jie, all the players had smiles on their faces.
"Jay, you're here!"
"Good morning Jay!"
"Jie, you're a little late today!"
"Did you do it too late last night?"
"Did Li drain you dry last night?"
Obviously, judging from the greetings, Chen Jie gets along very happily with these teammates.
Hearing his teammates greeting each other, Chen Jie responded with a smile. Then, Chen Jie came to his locker, took off his clothes, and asked Chris Duhong next to him: "What were you talking about just now?"
"Oh, we're talking about Kwame Brown!" Chris Duhon naturally wouldn't hide this from Chen Jie. If Chen Jie were here, of course the Bulls players would discuss it with Chen Jie.
"Speak of him, what happened to him?" Chen Jie asked curiously.
"Don't you know, Jie? Yesterday, Kwame Brown came to Chicago. He completed his physical examination and signed the contract last night. He is expected to report to the team today!" Hearing Chen Jie's question, Chandler stood next to him.
Open your mouth and explain to Chen Jie.
"Come here, there's nothing to talk about." Chen Jie shrugged.
"No, I heard that Kwame Brown is not easy to get along with!" At this time, the newcomer Nocchione next to him came over and said.
As a player who just entered the league, Noccioni was originally taciturn, but under the good locker room environment of the Bulls, he began to become outgoing.
In his opinion, the Bulls' players are very good. The veterans don't bully the newcomers and often teach them experience. The backbone of the team like Chen Jie never abandons big names and everyone can play together.
.
But Kwame Brown suddenly arrived. Who knows what his temper is like. Noccioni is a newcomer after all, and is still a little worried that the arrival of Kwame Brown will affect the atmosphere of the Bulls locker room.
"Who said that? How is it possible!" Chen Jie said helplessly after hearing Nocchione's words.
"That's what the newspapers and websites say!" Noccioni said to Chen Jie.
"Can you believe what the media says?" Chen Jie said sarcastically.
"No, Jay, do you think that no matter what, Kwame Brown is the No. 1 pick after all, and was personally selected by Michael. Although he may not be playing well now, he still has arrogance and a superior temperament after all?"
Chioni and Chen Jie analyzed.
Next to him, Chris Duhon nodded repeatedly. Apparently, he thought so too.
Chen Jie glanced at Duhong and Nocchioni helplessly, and said seriously: "Don't say that, Kwame is a good player. Believe me, I have met him in Los Angeles and had interactions with him. Although he has some
He is taciturn, but he is definitely not a bad person. Don’t listen to the media. They are deliberately trying to discredit Kwame!”
Chen Jie's words made both Noccioni and Du Hong a little skeptical.
Seeing that the two people didn't seem to believe it, Chen Jie continued: "After all, he has just joined our team. We shouldn't say that behind his back. We should try to communicate with him and let him integrate into our team, right? Guys
, I think, anyway, Kwame should have a better temper than Eddie?"
Eddy Curry used to be an outlier in the Bulls locker room, not talking to anyone. After hearing Chen Jie's words, the Bulls players all nodded, thinking that Chen Jie was right.
At this time, Antonio Davis also stood up: "Yes, Jay is right, we should welcome Kwame with a warm attitude, rather than with such wariness. Now that he is here, he is our partner."
.We must treat him well!"
The two giants both spoke. Of course, the other Bulls players didn't say anything. They all nodded.
At this time, the door to the locker room was pushed open again.
Scales walked in, followed by a tall black man with an indifferent face.
He is none other than Kwame Brown, the center the Bulls just traded! (To be continued...)
