As soon as she arrived at the newspaper office, Su Mingwei received a dismissal notice from the newspaper office.
The editor-in-chief cherished her talent, and out of sympathy, reminded her to surrender to Director Zhou.
Su Mingwei instantly understood that yesterday's report had suppressed the TV station and offended Director Zhou.
Silently packing her things, she left the newspaper office.
With this departure, there will be no place for her in the entire news media industry.
No matter where she goes, as long as her name is announced, she will be turned away without any suspense.
After running all day and into the night, she could not find another newspaper where she could work.
Standing by the river, she looked at the night scene, wondering where to go. For the first time, she felt alone and helpless.
The alarm on her phone rang, and she lowered her head to turn it off. It was time for her part-time job.
On this day, the tone of her piano sound was all gloomy, with an inexplicable sadness.
Her long hair fell down, covering her cheeks, and the palm of her right hand was still wrapped in white gauze.
During this time, she finished her song, and a guest slowly came forward and said the same words as the drunken guest before.
She looked at the glass of wine quietly.
For a moment, she admitted, she hesitated.
In the face of the cruel reality, her perseverance and self-love were rewarded with endless darkness.
But in the end, after hesitating, she chose to refuse. She picked up the violin again.
He Hongzheng sat quietly in the distance, seeing her hesitation in his eyes.
She decisively rejected his millions yesterday, but she hesitated here.
He put the money for the drink under his glass, stood up and left.
From that day on, he never sent her a WeChat message again, and their relationship became strange again.
Su Mingwei had no idea about this. All she was thinking about was how to raise money. How to litigate.
Without a fixed income, she can only do more other jobs, such as running errands, taking out food, and doing odd jobs. As long as there is income, she will accept anyone who comes.
On this day, she took coffee to the office building and ordered another high-priced delivery.
"Hello, your coffee."
When she delivered the coffee to the address, Secretary Li looked at her in surprise.
"Reporter Su?"
Secretary Li had given her a silk scarf before, so he naturally remembered her.
Su Mingwei looked at the house number with some surprise. It didn't belong to the office.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and confirmed the order in her hand again. After making sure it was correct, she handed the order to Secretary Li, "Please sign."
Secretary Li nodded, signed, and at the same time asked, "Reporter Su, is this a part-time job?"
As He Hongzheng's secretary, she must have a good eye. Su Mingwei had the experience of delivering things before, but Su Mingwei suddenly changed so much. She naturally had to pay attention to it so that she could report it to her boss.
Su Mingwei smiled bitterly and put away the order, "I'm not a reporter anymore."
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Secretary Li looked at her leaving with a surprised look on her face. What she meant was that she was running errands full-time for takeout.
The thought of her one night romance with He Hongzheng.
No matter how bad things were, as long as she spoke to He Hongzheng, she would never have to go through the trouble of running out for takeout. After all, He Hongzheng was not short of money.
Thinking of this, Secretary Li couldn't help but appreciate her a little more.
She turned around with her coffee in hand, wondering whether to tell her boss about this.
Turning around, he saw He Hongzheng standing at the door of the office.
She hurried forward and brought the coffee over, "Lawyer He. Reporter Su sent it."
She vaguely mentioned Su Mingwei's mouth, paying attention to He Hongzheng's face.
He Hongzheng nodded, picked up the coffee, and entered the office in silence.
In the office, Xu Hao saw that he looked unhappy and asked, "Is something wrong?"
He Hongzheng smiled lightly and sat down, "Let's talk about business."
"Okay, let's see how this case is handled properly in City B."
He came today to take on a big cross-city case. He didn't expect to meet Su Mingwei delivering takeout. What’s more, she didn’t expect that she was no longer a reporter.
He Hongzheng took the case and stood up, "I will give you a reply after reading it."
"That's okay." Xu Hao nodded at him and sent him out.
On the way back to the office, He Hongzheng sat in the back seat, the case in his hand spread out, but his eyes fell on his mobile phone.
It turned out that her hesitation that night was because her job as a reporter was gone.
After a moment's pause, his eyes returned to the case again, looking at it quietly, but from time to time, the sound of a piano and the face under the moonlight would sound in his mind.
"Boss, Reporter Su."
At this moment, Secretary Li reminded the person in the rearview mirror.
He Hongzheng looked up and saw Su Mingwei on the street.
At this time, Su Mingwei was sitting on a simple table and stool on the street, holding a steamed bun in one hand and munching on it. While flipping through the notebook in her hand, she put down the steamed bun from time to time and wrote a few words.
The sunlight shone on her notebook, illuminating her beautiful handwriting particularly clearly.
In an era where electronic products are prevalent, calligraphy seems to be gradually forgotten, but her handwriting is beautiful.
The sunlight on the notebook was blocked, and the light shining on her face was also blocked.
He Hongzheng stood behind her and looked at her notebook quietly.
The notebook records her takeout experience, food delivery, and errand expenses.
But right next to these records, she noted many social concerns.
Apparently, she was still looking for material for the report.
Even though she has lost her status as a reporter, her heart for reporting is still there.
She is persistent and stubborn.
"The handwriting is good."
A voice sounded. Su Mingwei was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked up, and saw He Hongzheng.
"Lawyer He?"
She stood up with a surprised look on her face and closed the notebook beside her.
He Hongzheng looked away from her notebook and said with a hint of apology, "I didn't mean to pry."
Su Mingwei was stunned. After thinking that she was just working on the material, she smiled and waved her hand, about to say it was okay.
He was interrupted by He Hongzheng, "There is a restaurant next door, so I'll take it as an apology."
There was an invitation in his words.
Su Mingwei looked back at the half-eaten steamed buns and refused with a smile.
"No need, Lawyer He, it's not a big deal." After saying that, she smiled at him, picked up the steamed buns, and turned around to leave.
The moment she turned around, her eyes turned red.
She knew that he meant well, and she also knew that he invited her to dinner because he felt sorry for her.
But being pitied by him made her feel inexplicably embarrassed and sad...
She raised her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes and ran towards the next takeaway shop.
He Hongzheng stood there and watched quietly. Her movement of raising her arms moved his eyes.
He took out his cell phone and opened Su Mingwei's case. There was still half a month before the court date...
