Noon.
Everyone was immersed in grief.
It was not only the people from the Arts Channel. The other channels and departments were the same. They all knew of Editor Wei's deeds. Many people in the entire station had been indebted to Editor Wei. A few old comrades from the television station who were close to Editor Wei had specially applied for leave to help Editor Wei's house with the funeral arrangements. They were afraid that Editor Wei's only daughter would not be able to withstand the blow. They were worried.
Over here.
"Lecture Room" program team.
A youth that Zhang Ye did not know pushed open the door and came in. He glanced at Zhang Ye before saying impolitely to Hu Fei, "Producer Hu, the Station Head wants you to go over."
Hu Fei looked up and followed him out.
Xiao Lu was stunned, "This person isn't from our Arts Channel."
"Station Head? The Leader of the television station is looking for Brother Hu? "Dafei also had a bad feeling.
Indeed, ten minutes later, Hu Fei came back alone. He said to Zhang Ye, "The station said that you have publicly insulted and threatened a colleague. They have given you a demerit. They will deduct three months of your bonus and suspend you for a week."
Zhang Ye had an indifferent expression.
Hou Ge was having none of it, "Based on what!? Based on what did they punish Teacher Zhang!? "
"It was given by the Station Head?" Xiao Lu said angrily, "How did it reach the top?"
Dafei said, "Is there a need to ask? It must have been reported by Wang Shuixin. He lodged a complaint!"
Everyone could tell that Zhang Ye had beaten up Wang Shuixin's son and sent him to the detention center. It was Wang Shuixin's son who had a problem, so it was not good for Wang Shuixin to make a move on Zhang Ye before the storm had passed. But today, Zhang Ye had scolded his secretary. This was a new matter, so Wang Shuixin naturally found a reason. However, he did not want to be known as someone who used his position to avenge a personal grudge after Editor Wei's death. Hence, he had informed the higher-ups. The punishment was also issued by the station. It could be seen that the Station Head had a good relationship with Wang Shuixin.
Zhang Ye packed his things and got up, "Then I'll go back first, Brother Hu."
"Just a week's suspension. Come back next week. It's fine." Hu Fei comforted him.
Zhang Ye bade his colleagues farewell and left with his things. Before he left, he took a deep look at the office where Editor Wei had worked before turning around to go downstairs.
In the car.
Zhang Ye called his former colleague from the radio station, Wang Xiaomei, "Hello, Teacher Xiaomei, are you busy? Is it convenient for you to talk? "
Wang Xiaomei said lightly, "I just finished recording the program. It's convenient."
"I have something to ask of you. Are you familiar with the people from the News Channel?" Zhang Ye asked.
"I don't think we're familiar with each other, but we all know each other. Why?" Wang Xiaomei said.
Zhang Ye said, "I have a piece of news material here that I would like to expose. It's an old editor from our television station. His name is Wei Jianguo. He …" Zhang Ye spent five minutes telling Wang Xiaomei the entire story from beginning to end, "Do you think we can put it on our radio station's news?"
Wang Xiaomei thought for a moment, "You said that your Arts Channel's Head had abused his power to avenge a personal grudge by working Editor Wei to death. We definitely can't report that. After all, we are part of the Beijing Television Station. The radio station has long merged with them, so the Leaders will not agree to such a thing. But if it's just Editor Wei's matter, we can definitely report it."
Zhang Ye could only say, "Alright, then I'll apply for this."
"Alright, I'll help you contact them." Wang Xiaomei agreed.
"Then thank you very much. I'll treat you to a meal another day." Zhang Ye hung up after saying that.
Wang Xiaomei was still very reliable. Besides, she was a pillar of the Beijing Radio Station, so she had a lot of face. Around 4 PM, she appeared on the radio station's "News Live" program. There must have been reporters who had investigated in detail, so the investigation was very clear.
"Wei Jianguo — An ordinary name, an ordinary person. But when you hear of his deeds, I don't think anyone would think he was ordinary. For twenty years, with his meager income, he scrimped and lived frugally. He even picked up trash on the streets on his days off. He used this money to support a total of 159 children! There were children who did not go to school! There were sick children! There were abandoned orphans! There were a total of 159! Of course, this is what we know from Wei Jianguo's family. As for the exact number, only Uncle Wei knows. As for us, we might never know for the rest of our lives. This is because last night, Uncle Wei suffered a heart attack due to exhaustion. He passed away! "
"Next, let us listen to a few interviews."
The radio station had made this a special topic. It was not just a simple report.
"Hello, we are reporters from the radio station. Are you a child that Uncle Wei sponsored? What kind of person was Uncle Wei usually? "
"Wu Wu Wu!"
"Little girl, my condolences. We are very sorry about Uncle Wei's matter."
"Wei … Father Wei was a good person! Wu Wu! A very good person! To us … Wu Wu Wu … He treated us like his own children …! In the beginning, Father Wei helped us. We … We all thought that Father Wei was a big boss … We thought that he was very rich … But … But later, we found out that Father Wei was just a normal employee … His money was earned from his salary and picking up trash! But … But he gave it all to us! Once … I fell sick. I don't know how Papa Wei found out … At that time, he came to the hospital to see me. The doctor said that he needed a minor surgery … Sob … Papa Wei didn't say anything and paid for the surgery … Sob … Later on, I found out that the money he gave me for the surgery was Papa Wei's biological daughter's college tuition fee! "
The reporter in the radio station's recording also seemed moved. There was a moment of silence.
The child was heard crying incessantly, "Why!? The textbooks and teachers always tell us to be good people! Good people live a long life! But why did Father Wei leave!? Auntie Reporter! Wu Wu Wu … They said that Father Wei had a heart attack because of overwork! Did we cause Father Wei's death? Father Wei helped us … That's why he picked up bottles and worked overtime every day! Did we cause Father Wei's death? "
The child's question struck many people's hearts!
The reporter in charge of the interview did not know how to answer!
Following that, there was a second person's interview, followed by a third and a fourth!
"Big Sis, you are Father Wei's neighbor, right? May I ask what kind of person you think he is? "
"Old Wei is such a good person! He helps us neighbors with anything! He is especially popular! How could such a good person leave just like that!? "
"Do you know that he has sponsored so many children over the years?"
"No one knows. No one knows. We only know that Old Wei works at the television station as an editor. We have never heard of him sponsoring children! We just know that his family's living conditions are not good! Back when his daughter went to university, she could not even afford the tuition fees. I heard that it was Old Wei who begged the school's leaders to delay the tuition fees for a period of time. Hai! Old Wei is such a person! He doesn't like to talk about what he has done. He doesn't like to talk about it! There was once when there was no one at home and only my son was at home. He had a high fever and my son ran to Old Wei's house in a daze. Old Wei brought my son to see the doctor and told me that it was nothing. He did not want me to take it to heart, but when I asked my son, I found out that our alley was very long and there were many cars inside. The ambulance could not get in at all. Old Wei carried my son and ran a full kilometer to reach the hospital! But he didn't even mention a word about these things! "
… …
Once the news was reported, it immediately attracted the attention of the entire society!
Actually, it was not only the Beijing Radio Station. At the same time, several other Beijing newspapers and media outlets had reported about it. Even the Beijing Times had placed Editor Wei's picture on the second page. Without asking, it was obvious that it was leaked by someone from the Beijing Television Station who knew Editor Wei. Zhang Ye was not the only one who knew him. Everyone worked in the media, so who didn't have a few connections and friends and classmates? And this matter indeed had the conditions to attract widespread attention. Hence, Editor Wei's deeds spread throughout Beijing on the day of his death!
One radio station and seven or eight newspaper outlets reported about it!
This matter immediately stirred up an uproar. There were also people who paid attention to it in other parts of the country!
Especially on the internet, with such an open channel of communication, the moment this matter broke out, it immediately caused a heated discussion!
"What a good person!"
"How can there be such a kind person in this world?"
"I'm touched! In front of Father Wei, I really feel ashamed! "
"That's right. Those who do charity, those who call themselves the country's moral model, many of them want the whole world to know about something they do. They want people to know what they have done, so that people will worship them and praise them for being noble. Is that noble? I used to think so, but now I don't think so! After seeing Father Wei's deeds, I have a deeper understanding. Kindness is something that comes from deep within. It's a kind of human nature that has a clear conscience. It doesn't need people to know about it, and it can't be shouted out! "
"Previous poster, well said!"
"Yesterday, it was their television station, right? That rather famous poet named Wang Shuixin who wrote 'Everything'. He is also the person in charge of the television station's channel. Didn't he just help a child who didn't go to school? In the end, yesterday's newspapers were all about it. Everyone was praising him on the internet. I also made a comment at that time. I felt that as a staff of the television station, such things should be promoted and affirmed. He did well, but now that I think about it, compared to Father Wei, what does this count as? "
"Rest in peace!"
"Father Wei, we will always remember you!"
"Eh, I heard that Father Wei offended someone and was deliberately made difficult for him to die!"
"What? How could that be? "
"That's what I heard. I don't know if it's true or not, but I heard that he offended someone in the station, and was forced to work overtime every day. It was not done voluntarily by Father Wei, because there was no overtime pay or bonus. In the end, they would find an excuse to deduct it!"
"Could it be a rumor?"
"There's such a thing? It can't be? "
"If it's true, then fuck! That's too despicable! "
"I'm not sure either. Anyway, once I say it, all of you just have to listen."
However, this thread that was posted on the forum was quickly deleted.
Zhang Ye happened to see this thread, but when he flipped to the next page, he was informed that the thread had either been deleted or no longer existed. His heart sank!
What was the meaning of this?
The answer was very obvious!
This was so similar to the public opinion when Zhang Ye was arrested!
In the end, Beijing Television Station probably had no choice but to speak up. Hence, they also broadcast Editor Wei's deeds on Beijing BTV-News Channel. They even said that they did not know about it in the past and only heard about it now. They were proud to have such a colleague — This was pure bullshit! How could they not have heard of it!?
Including them, although the other media outlets had reported about it, it was only limited to Editor Wei's deeds. As for his situation in the unit and other matters, they did not mention a single word. Even the small newspapers did not gossip about it. It was unknown if it was because they were worried about a large media outlet like Beijing Television Station, or because they were giving face to Wang Shuixin. Otherwise, the news of Editor Wei's "death" would have been reported by a lot of newspaper companies! Whether it was the truth or sensationalism, this was a topic! It was impossible that no one was concerned about it!
The truth was very obvious!
Zhang Ye was also in the media industry. If he did not understand this, then he would have lived in vain!
This time, there was someone behind the scenes manipulating the direction of public opinion, making the people only focus on Editor Wei's glory, and ignore the cause of Editor Wei's death!
What a good Wang Shuixin!
That's all you can do, right?
Zhang Ye's eyes suddenly became more and more determined. Alright, since no one exposed this matter, since no one dared to report this matter …
Then I'll do it!
I'll risk it and not be a host anymore!
I'll risk it and never work in the television station again!
I'll f * * king pull you, Wang Shuixin, down from your horse!
If it was normal words, Zhang Ye did not have the ability, nor did he have the energy to do so. Even if he revealed Wang Shuixin's face to the public, firstly, no one would believe it. Secondly, they would not pay much attention to it. After all, he was not a famous celebrity. But just speaking did not mean that Zhang Ye did not have any other methods. He still had a method that everyone feared — his poems!
The power of Zhang Ye's words was limited, but Zhang Ye's poems had always received widespread attention. Just like when he was sent to the police station, he had relied on these two poems to get out!
This was the charm of literary works!
Or it could be said that this was the charm of an excellent literary work!
Some people might say that even speaking was useless, so how could writing poems attract attention?
For Zhang Ye's situation, that was indeed the case. For example, so many innocent students had died in history. Who would know their names? Who would remember? Not many! But among them, there was a female student named Liu Hezhen who was remembered by almost everyone in Zhang Ye's world! Why? Because Lu Xun had once written an article called "In Memory of Liu Hezhen"!
Literature, only literature, might have this power!
Zhang Ye already had his own plans and ideas!
