"But the president..." Yueju still wanted to argue.

"Nothing is not bad!" The president interrupted, his palms standing side by side, and his palms hit the tabletop with a pounding edge. "You hope that our newspaper will be sued by him, and then we not only want to apologize for him, but also pay him a lot of money. Do you want to see this happen?"

"It's great to have this title!" He pointed to the top big title, "The Mob Behind Xilingchen - Each of us is the murderer." On the one hand, it weakens his responsibilities to a certain extent, and can also use his name to drive traffic; on the other hand, it expands the criticism to the entire social group, which has a relationship with everyone. There must be more people who are willing to read this report!"

This is the case for workers who need news exposure. Whether it is positive or negative reviews, it is better than no one cares about them.

Yueju bit her lips tightly. According to the president's statement, she became indirectly "whitewashing" Xilingchen...

"Why can Song Qianqian publish the article about Boss Jia's illegitimate daughter? What do you say about Boss Jia's reputation?" He was so angry that Yue Ju blurted out again, "Can his reputation be ruined because of his death?"

The president hiccupped: "You..." He was so angry that he picked up the teacup and took a big sip of wolfberry tea. Then he turned to look at her with apology, "Yueju, the interview you gave to the main culprit of the constable's death case was very good! And the recent demolition case is well written, why did you turn it like this this time?"

He waved his hand in annoyance: "If you are so emotional, just stop writing this report, I'll leave it to Song Qianqian to write!"

Yueju hurriedly stopped her: "Hey... President, I'll write it." If she really gave it to Song Qianqian, as a "hard fan" of Xilingchen, she still doesn't know what the rhythm of the news would be like.

She silently took back the manuscript. The originally clean and neat manuscripts had been drawn colorfully by markings, and they were all paragraphs asked by the president to modify. The outlines that embarrassed her were like ugly clown masks, and no matter whether she wanted to or not, they were forcibly placed on her face.

Yes... From the first day she entered the newspaper, hasn't her originally pure heart been immersed in the big dye vat of society again and again, and has been stained with erect stains?

"...I will modify it according to your opinion." In the end, she compromised and lowered her head.

She also knew that this time she was really too emotionally substituted. As a journalist, this is a taboo. Because too biased towards any party will lead to bias in the overall report. As a reporter, as long as she reports the facts rationally, she should not be mixed with too many personal feelings.

But that was just because she had watched Jia Dafu die in front of her, and the impact on her was unparalleled. Others could regard this as ordinary news, but she could not. Because the cause of the death of the deceased... also had an indirect relationship with herself!

Therefore, even though he knew that Jia Dafu was not a good person, he must have done many things that were harmful to the world in order to do business, but in her heart, he was still a regrettable victim.

When she walked towards her seat, she met Song Qianqian head-on.

"Oh, Yueju?" She wanted to pretend that she didn't see it, but Song Qianqian deliberately called her, glanced at the manuscript she was holding, and a sarcastic curve appeared on the corner of her mouth, "What's wrong, this is it? The manuscript has been returned?"

Yueju didn't answer, and Song Qianqian quickly sneered again: "It's your fault for me to say that I'm just because I've been a reporter for so long, but I still can't understand the rules of this industry. I thought that just shouting slogans of justice all day long can change society!"

"This world is not black or white. If you are always so idealistic, then I guarantee that you can't make it in all walks of life!"

This time, Yueju raised her head bravely.

"That's better than just sprinkling salt on someone else's wounds for the sake of profit."

She stared at Song Qianqian without any hesitation.

"Sister Qianqian, tell me honestly that when you do those reports, are you not a little uneasy?"

"For the sake of hot topics, you can fully imagine that when this news is released, what kind of public opinion attacks will that girl be subjected to? It is very likely that she will not even be able to go to school. Will your conscience really hurt?"

No matter in any era, illegitimate children have always been quite despised in society.

According to the laws of the spiritual continent, as long as both parties are in love, a man can legally marry all the women he likes.

Registering marriage and "bringing it into the house" is even a title given to her.

In such a situation where marriage is completely free, those mothers who still cannot be recognized and can only make their children become illegitimate children will be looked down upon very much.

Because this shows that the man either just play with her and doesn't want to be responsible at all, but she is still willing to maintain such an improper relationship, or she even gives birth to children for him; or the woman deliberately destroys other people's families and uses certain means to get a night of spring, but is despised by the man.

In either case, this group is regarded as "self-degenerate women", and their children will be discriminated against together.

That girl, who can only follow her mother's surname and name Fan Jie, has been named "illegitimate daughter", which means that her mother has no status. The reporters have found that Jia Dafu's little wives outside are just regarded as mistresses by him and have never had formal marriage registration at all. He is just a man who likes to mess with flowers but is irresponsible.

However, the mistakes are all made by adults. What does it have to do with a girl who is still in school age? She could have hid in order to escape the storm, but because of her filial piety, she wanted to cry and her father was caught by the media.

People just want to use her pain to create traffic, but after the traffic has passed, no one considers her future life.

Yue Ju sympathizes with Fan Jie. For Jia Dafu, if similar incidents were exposed in the past, he would definitely be the first person to criticize him. The problem is that now he is dead, even if he has abandoned his mistress at all times, should he die? The privacy of a deceased was dug out and exposed, leaving him still uneasy in the nine springs, which is something that Yue Ju cannot tolerate.

Song Qianqian sneered: "Now everyone likes to watch reversals. The sins of heroes and the men behind the saints are the biggest selling points! Who wants to read those stable news?"

"Besides, don't keep justice and kindness on your lips all day long." She picked up her arms and hummed twice, her delicate red lips opened and closed. "When Jia Dafu was about to commit suicide, weren't you on the front line? You can't save someone standing in front of you, so you'd let him fall and die. With your pen, how many people do you think you can change?"

Yue Ju was suddenly shocked and couldn't help but recall the scene where Jia Dafu fell in front of her. It was indeed her fault, her pain!

"I know, do you look down on us and think we are very sad." Song Qianqian admired her lonely expression and continued to say unyieldingly, "But I want me to say that people like you who claim to be noble are truly sad."

"We are secular, at least we know what we want. We want traffic and money, so we work hard in this direction. As long as we don't break the law, we will report on whatever hot spots can make money. As for conscience and bottom line, we have long been abandoned by us. Because we know that we must give up what we want."

"But what about you? You can't change the social pattern or the president's decision, but you can't betray your conscience. You live in reality, but you are pursuing justice in fairy tales everywhere. Don't you feel tired of living? In the end, is the world or you who are wrong?"

She shook her head and used the gaze of a daydreaming girl to turn her from head to toe again.

"You can't recognize yourself, but also social conditions. You can't change the world, and you are unwilling to adapt to it. People like you, even if you have a noble life, can only live in your own dreams."

She seemed to have endured these words for a long time.

Taking this opportunity, after she finished speaking in one breath, she shook her long hair and left proudly. The sound of her high heels hitting the ground echoed in the office.

Yueju looked at her back, but she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

It took her a while before she held the manuscript and walked towards her seat step by step.

She has always disliked people like Song Qianqian who live too realistic and snobbish. In her eyes, it seems that everything is just a deal. Whether she does something depends on "whether it is worth doing?"

Why do things must be purposeful? Yueju once thought secretly, can’t she do it just because she just likes it? How sad it would be to live a lifetime of a person without dreams.

Until today, she discovered that Song Qianqian actually had dreams. Money is her dream.

Yes... The dream made with money seems much more at ease than the dream made with just one passionate blood.

Whether it is the president, other people in this newspaper, or many other adults, they are already past the age of dreaming, maybe they will think that Song Qianqian can live a clearer life than herself.

However, Yueju still couldn't understand.

Because living in society, everyone must completely give up on themselves and integrate into society?

Because of the social situation, can you ignore favors at all?

When she was a reporter at the beginning, she hoped to write more positive articles to speak out for vulnerable groups, inspire people's hearts, and bring beneficial changes to society.

But now she felt that she couldn't do it.

Perhaps the only thing she can do is to prevent herself from following the trend and not become like others and profit-oriented.

...

That afternoon, Yueju kept rushing between two offices, repeatedly revising the manuscript.

The people sitting near her seat watched her running around, and could only shake their heads and sigh.

Now, Yueju faced the screen in front of her and the long and unfamiliar text, and felt a sense of powerlessness that was rising from her heart.

In the end, she still failed. She thought she could retain some of her thoughts, but the manuscript was revised beyond recognition in the end according to the president's instructions.

She is indeed not qualified to resist the president. After all, the president is the one who decides whether her manuscript can be published. She can insist on revising it, but the president can also refuse to publish her manuscript.

What she wants to change, but can't change, and what she wants to persist can't keep anything.

Looking at the article that changed almost from beginning to end, she felt panicked when she thought it would be labeled as her name and published in the newspaper.

At this time, a colleague around him could not help but speak.

"Yueju? The manuscript has been returned?"

"Why do you have to do this?" As soon as he said this, other colleagues gathered around. These were all young people, and they were talking to each other. "Just modify it according to the president's wishes. Each manuscript must be reviewed several times before it is published. It is impossible to just let you 'involve private goods' so easily."

"That's right, if this is your personal homepage, you can write whatever you want, but now you are writing articles on behalf of our newspaper. If someone sues you, the president will be the first person to sue, and you have to think about it for everyone!"

Yueju ignored their persuasion, she just turned her head and asked softly:

"Have the team leader not come back yet?"

What she is referring to is the leader of this social group. In the newspaper, according to the different reporting columns, many different groups are divided into different groups. For example, social groups, entertainment groups, sports groups, etc. Each group specifically reports corresponding news. The social group where Yueju is located is a group that focuses on reporting social events.

Originally, the group members should have given the manuscript to the group leader for review first, and after it is approved, the group leader will give it to the president for review. In the past, Yueju and the group leader have always been very happy. Today, it is because the group leader went out to go to the news early in the morning, which forced her to communicate directly with the president.

"Team Leader?" This sudden change of topic made the colleagues who were asked stunned for a moment, and someone answered for a while:

"Oh, I haven't come back from another place yet, just the food safety news I mentioned last time."

"Isn't it news about water pollution in chemical plants?" Yueju frowned in confusion.

"You said that, that one went to Brother Huai." The colleague sat on the desk. "Brother Huai said he happened to have an interview and wanted to go there, so he helped him run away. In exchange, the food safety news he was originally responsible for was handed over to the team leader for his work."
