The reason why he is still working overtime in the office is not that he is not tired, but that he finally took a photo of eating bananas today, and he has to post it anyway.Although the editor-in-chief was not interested in the news at all, he at least gave him an inconspicuous little square, and there was also an inconspicuous link to the website.I could have gone home to write, but unfortunately I fell asleep while typing at home a few days ago, knocked over the coffee cup and burned the computer motherboard, and I haven't had time to fix it these days.The most critical problem is that he has no money, he has to pay rent, eat, buy cigarettes and alcohol, and have no extra money to buy computer accessories.Now we can count on the news to have a higher click-through rate, and the editor-in-chief can give a bonus of a few dozen dollars.Thinking about it, he clicked the last button and handed the news to the backstage to be processed when the colleague in charge took over.He sighed, the dark office was quiet, the night was deep, only the orange light of the other buildings outside the window reflected in, it seemed distant and faint.Straighten up his tie, rub his sour eyes, and take a drink of cold coffee.Turn off the computer, cut off the power, lock the office door, and walk out of the building.He was like thousands of identical spirits, numbly drifting through the city, towards the place called home.Fortunately, the season is not bad, even if the night is dark and the temperature is not low in summer, he can drive back slowly.Su Ming's perception of the editor-in-chief is very complicated, he hates the other party's snobbery and swearing, but he is also grateful that he has never really fired himself, and he can at least have a basic salary every month to support his family.But if this continues, will there really be a future?
The city is so big that the average person is just a number on the table.Su Ming drove down the empty street, accompanied only by the dim street lamps, looking at the brightly lit entertainment venues across the road not far away, those richly dressed people laughed loudly, and he could only sigh with a little envy.Keep driving with your head down and go home to sleep."
Puff" "Fake!
”The more anxious he was to get home, the worse his luck became, and his car was an old Ford with an unknown number of hands, which had just made two weird fart noises, and then broke down on the side of the road.So angry that Su Ming slammed the steering wheel with both hands and scolded.But this is not a vending machine, two slams and a few kicks can return to normal.And I don't know what went wrong, there was smoke coming out of the air conditioner's vents, which instantly filled the entire cab."
Ahem, cough, cough" Su Ming struggled for a long time, finally unbuckled his seat belt, pushed the car door, and coughed on the side of the road.His eyes, nasal cavity, and trachea were all burning pain, and he felt dizzy and almost dying."
Hahaha" Those people across the road burst into laughter when they stood at the door of the luxury nightclub, and the first thing they saw was a classic car full of smoke, like a fish tank filled with white mist.Not long after, another man ran out wrapped in smoke, fell to the side of the road, coughing incessantly.It's so much fun, and it's a great way to talk about the boring nightlife.No one was going to help him, everyone was just watching the lively bystanders, and the person who drove such a broken car looked like a poor bastard, and the person who watched the bleak life unexpectedly unlucky is more comic.They not only want to watch, but also take pictures with their mobile phones, quickly tweet, and earn a wave of likes from friends is the most important thing.And at this moment, an open flame suddenly rose under the hood of the car, which instantly lit up everyone's faces."
Wow!"
The crowd of onlookers was more excited, more people pulled out their phones, and more people who heard the news ran out from various nightly entertainment venues.Su Ming felt the heat wave behind him, quickly climbed forward, turned around and stood up, and watched his car burn more and more, his heart ached."
Fack!
Fafak!
”Several steps, they were forced back by the flames.This is his only means of transportation, and it is because the economy does not allow it, and it has fallen into disrepair that has caused such an end.But you have to snatch the guy out of the car, the SLR camera and the full set of lenses borrowed from the newspaper, which is not cheap at all.But the fire was getting bigger and bigger, the hood was already charred black, and the heat was so hot that he couldn't get closer, and even the bystanders consciously retreated a large circle to avoid being affected by the explosion of the vehicle.I don't know why, Su Ming is very afraid of fire, and his girlfriend at home often laughs at him for not even daring to use the oven.And in such a situation, he could do nothing but rush around on the side of the road and shout for help.There is no help at all, Metropolis is the largest city in the United States, and the people here are extremely cold, and no one will bother with other people's affairs.Maybe the older people may still have the good morals of the old days, but this street is an entertainment street, and what good people can still haunt here in the middle of the night?
In addition to the rich second generation who drank alcohol and drugged and were dizzy, it was the gangsters who watched the scene and collected protection money, counting on these people to be enthusiastic about helping, why don't you quickly kneel down and pray to see if God is willing to rain?
Just when Su Ming was about to despair, two people suddenly rushed in from outside the crowd, and a man with glasses began to help Su Ming's car extinguish the fire with a handheld fire extinguisher.The other woman began to take pictures constantly, and also took out a voice recorder to interview passers-by, looking very excited.After a few minutes, the fire was extinguished, and the people who had nothing to see dispersed.The man took off his glasses, wiped the sweat on his face with the sleeve of his shirt, walked over to Su Ming on the side of the road with a smile, and patted him on the shoulder."
Slade?
How are you?
Have you ever been injured?
”Su Ming was just afraid of fire, and after the flame was extinguished, his mood was much more stable: "I'm fine, thank you, Clark." ”"No thanks, we are colleagues, even if we are not colleagues, when someone needs help on the road, it is also what I should do to help."
The strong man grabbed Su Ming's arm, checked back and forth, and only showed a reassuring expression after making sure that there was no problem."
They don't think so."
Su Ming looked at the crowd leaving, and all the backs were almost carved out of the same mold.Clark's smile stiffened as well, he rubbed his hands together and pulled Su Ming into his car, helping him find the camera and lens bag from the smoke-filled compartment.Immediately afterwards, he found the steel cable of the trailer and hung the wreckage of Su Ming's vehicle behind his car, but fortunately, the tires only burst two front wheels, which should be able to be towed back.After doing all this, he also sat in the co-pilot, opened the storage box and took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Su Ming: "They are not right, helping others is what human beings should know." ”Su Ming, who was in the back seat, sighed, took the mineral water bottle and did not unscrew it, but first checked the camera and lens for damage.It's a blessing in disguise, maybe because the appearance of Clark and Louise really brought some good luck, and these expensive gadgets were intact.It's just that the backpack is a little dirty, and it's covered with white foam from the fire extinguisher.He unscrewed his water bottle and took a few sips, just as he was about to speak to Clarke, when the driver's door opened, and Louise slipped in with a smile on her face.She suddenly saw Su Ming, who was blackened, and realized that it was wrong for her to laugh like this, so she immediately held back, her little face flushed."
Sorry, Slade, I just thought of a good piece of news, and I was a little excited."
Louise sympathetically reached out and pressed the back of Su Ming's hand: "I'm also sad for your loss. ”Su Ming didn't get angry because of these little things, after all, it was someone who helped rescue the camera."
It's okay, I'm also a journalist, and I can understand that feeling."
Clark kept staring at Louise's hand, which made Su Ming feel very awkward, he awkwardly withdrew his hand and leaned on the back seat of the car: "Can you talk about the news topic?"
Wouldn't it be laughing at me too?
”Louise's head shook, and her golden-red hair spread out: "No, I've already thought about the topic of the news, it's that the vehicle is on fire on the road, and the citizens are indifferent to the sidelines, what do you think?"
I want to condemn these indifferent and insensitive people, and turn the problems of society into the face of everyone. ”Su Ming nodded, and there seemed to be no problem with the title: "I just don't know if the editor-in-chief will pass." ”"No problem, whatever I want to send, the editor-in-chief will pass."
Louise turned around with a smile and started to start the car: "I'm a reporter for social and people's livelihood, and I'm not a paparazzi in the entertainment industry" Clark's face was elongated, he secretly gave her a look, and shook his head slightly, Louise said that the entertainment paparazzi was not Slade Louise shrunk her neck and pursed her mouth, and stopped talking.Today, I encountered more than a dozen news in a row, and the two of them have been busy until now, maybe because she drank too much coffee, she was a little too excited, just saying the wrong thing and doing the wrong thing.She was really confused, hey, she banged her fist on the top of her head, and looked at Su Ming apologetically from the rearview mirror.Su Ming just smiled, there is nothing to be angry about, after all, what people say is the truth, he is indeed an entertainment paparazzi, or a paparazzi who has not found big news for several years.I have long been accustomed to being discriminated against, and the truly successful paparazzi are all those who shoot the scandals of big stars, negotiate privately to extort a large sum of money, and immediately wash their hands and do not dry them.I have never heard of anyone who can win a Pulitzer Prize for reporting celebrity scandals, and in the team of journalists, entertaining paparazzi is originally the bottom.However, although the reputation is not good, the money is vast, and it is not a dream to get rich overnight, and Su Ming also entered the industry because of this.Not to mention that the family is surrounded by four walls, but at least there is no savings, and he is still an orphan, in addition to gambling on whether he can be lucky, what else can he do?
Any other questions have to be considered before you have a full meal!
Clark stroked his hair, changed the subject in view of the low air pressure in the car, and asked where Su Ming lived, and Louise drove Su Ming home first.Su Ming was no longer polite, he said the address of his rental house, the car turned in the other direction, and the two men chatted casually, talking about some rugby or horse racing and the like, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed.But at this time, Louise, who was driving the car, seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked, "Slade, is your car insured?"
If you don't buy insurance, wouldn't it be burned" Clark began to look at him again, Slade's family colleagues knew a little bit, how could he have the money to buy insurance?
Su Ming smiled and said nothing, like a bodhisattva in the temple: "And deep down, he has already given Clark and Louis a nickname, called Brother and Sister Piercing, yes, lovers will eventually become brothers and sisters."
