On the highway, a Santana car was speeding along in the heavy rain. ~ Chinese ~ Novel..
In the past, there was a constant flow of traffic, but now there was not even a ghost to be seen, and there was pouring rain everywhere.
As a reporter for Xijiang Provincial Radio and Television Station, it is Zheng Jing’s job to dig out news topics.
But the execution of this mission kept her mentally tense from the very beginning.
She never thought that one day she would be sent to the flood front to record everything that was happening there.
"Drive slowly, brother, drive slowly!"
Zheng Jing sat in the passenger seat, holding the seat tightly with both hands, looking at the windshield wiper repeatedly scraping but never cleaning the rain, and the front of her sight that was completely unclear, and kept screaming.
: "There is enough time, and we are not rushing to reincarnate. Brother, you are going too fast, can we slow down?"
“See the farmland on both sides?”
The driver is a middle-aged man in his thirties with a slight beard at the corner of his mouth.
He pointed to the farmland on both sides of the highway that was really washed away by heavy rain: "The farmland has accumulated so much water. This is waterlogging! Waterlogging!"
"Yes, I know it's waterlogging!"
Zheng Jing's brain could no longer keep up with the driver's thoughts at this time, and she kept saying: "But at this time, safety is the most important thing, isn't it? Drive slowly, our reports can completely keep up, no
Just a little while away!"
The middle-aged man paid no attention to Zheng Jing and calmly analyzed: "Waterlogging has already occurred on the ground. You can imagine how high the water level of the Yangtze River has risen! It is good to have dams for defense, but if...
…The dam has burst?”
"The dam broke? How is that possible?" Zheng Jing was attracted by the middle-aged man's words and was a little stunned.
Then, the middle-aged man continued to talk to himself: "Once the dam breaks, water flow of more than ten meters high will pour out in an instant. That is a big flood! Big news! Big events! Small things.
Jing, you have just started working this year. You may not know what kind of impact such a big news event will have on your life, but I know, I completely know! You know our director Yu, more than ten years ago, he was
He became famous because of his coverage of the 1976 Fengshan Earthquake!"
Zheng Jing looked at the middle-aged man who had no intention of slowing down at all, and said helplessly: "No matter how Director Yu became famous, it has nothing to do with me. All I know is that if you continue to drive like this at crazy speed,
My personal safety will definitely be threatened! Besides, if no one is willing to come, do you think this opportunity will be given to us? "
"Risks and opportunities coexist!"
The middle-aged man said excitedly: "There are as many opportunities as there are risks. Although we have gone deep into the front line of flood control this time, there are too many topics we can explore! If the dam really breaks... you can see this
Are there any news topics in it that we can explore?”
"Why are you so looking forward to the dam breaking? And aren't there People's Liberation Army troops stationed there? Even if the dam does break, they will definitely be on the front line of flood control, so capture the footage of them fighting floods and report on the soldiers
All the tragic things that happened when we were fighting the flood!" Zheng Jing didn't dare to look at the scene outside the windshield, she grasped the seat belt with both hands and said with her eyes closed.
The middle-aged man looked at Zheng Jing as if he was an idiot: "This kind of thing can attract sales, but it won't last long! And by then, major TV stations and news newspapers will definitely report it like this! If you want to be famous, let everyone remember it.
If you keep your name, you can only find other ways to find out the news topics that the audience really wants to see, and then keep following the reports! Just like Director Yu back then, when everyone was reporting on the earthquake disaster, he passed
He became famous in one fell swoop after reporting on several murders that occurred during the earthquake!"
"Then... what theme should we explore?" Zheng Jing seemed to be a little moved and asked subconsciously.
The middle-aged man licked his lips and said, "For example... why did the dam burst?"
"Why did the embankment burst?"
Zheng Jing looked confused and repeated: "Why?"
"The Shunbei Yangtze River embankment was built less than three years ago. It stands to reason that it should not burst, but everything can happen."
The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "When the dam was first built, I happened to be on a business trip in Shunbei. I heard some gossip at that time... A worker who participated in the construction of the dam secretly reported to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, saying that he was building the dam.
The materials used are all substandard and inferior cement..."
"Is this true? What happened next?" Zheng Jing asked curiously.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "What else can we do? The whistleblower has been arrested! He is guilty of spreading rumors and disrupting social harmony. When he comes out of the labor camp, he will be much more honest and will not know anything about it."
Zheng Jing let out an ooh, and then exclaimed belatedly: "If the dam is really built with inferior cement, facing such a flash flood..."
"In the face of such a flash flood, of course there is no way to resist!"
The middle-aged man sneered: "Otherwise, why do you think I would agree to find an unlucky guy with you to fight the floods together?"
Zheng Jing immediately rolled her eyes.
But at this time, she finally understood. No wonder Qian Sen, a usually lazy cameraman, took the initiative to take on the filming task when all the cameramen were unwilling to come.
You know, Qian Sen is a veteran cameraman with a state-owned institution establishment in Taili. In terms of salary and status, in Taili, his salary and status are much higher than those of contract cameramen hired by a large number of TV stations.
But even if she understands the reason, Zheng Jing is not interested in the task of uncovering the criminals behind the scenes, not to mention that this may also involve underground transactions in the officialdom.
She looked at Qian Sen and said with some worry: "Isn't this bad? People who can manipulate water conservancy projects must have a high background. What if they are retaliated against?"
"Retaliation?"
Qian Sen laughed and said: "Don't you know that after the Huaihe River water level gate breached, the No. 2 director became angry and claimed that he would pursue this kind of scumbag project to the end? I guess these people are shivering in fear in the dark! Still!
Revenge? Haha, for the sake of temporary gain, tens of millions of citizens have suffered misfortune, these are the people who deserve revenge the most!"
Zheng Jing stopped talking. Although Qian Sen's tone and attitude made her very unhappy, it was undeniable that the suggestions he made were indeed heart-warming.
The car was driving at high speed on the highway, and when the two of them arrived at the Jiujiang Embankment in Shuncheng City, the rain was still falling.
But the night is already deep——
