Before Ma Huiyu came back from the square, I saw a white van stop in front of the restaurant. Then, two people got out of the van.
Walking in front was a reporter with a protruding mouth and monkey cheeks. He was holding a large microphone in his hand. Behind him was a cameraman with a flat expression. He was carrying a camera on his shoulder as if he was carrying an anti-tank missile.
Holy shit! Isn't this Dong Shan News Station's special reporter, Zhao Yao? Why is he here again! He was the only reporter in Dong Shan city!
"Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang, let's go!" Zhao Yao pushed open the restaurant's glass door and called out to the cameraman behind him.
"It's all thanks to my keen sense of smell that I was able to get ahead of the others. We must get first-hand news!"
Seeing the reporters and cameramen, Officer Ma frowned. What he feared had come. The police chief had told him not to alert the media, but the media still came over after smelling the fishy smell.
The policeman Xiao Zhang, who was standing to collect evidence, was very eye-catching. Zhao Yao immediately found our table. He passed the microphone to Xiao Zhang and asked with the tone of a host:
"Excuse me, the incident of stopping a car to save a dog on the Daguang Expressway today, are all of you involved? Officer comrade, you are handling the case, right? "
Xiao Zhang did not have much experience in dealing with the media. He mumbled, "The chief said that we are not handling the matter, but mediating. Constable Ma is the main mediator. I am just standing here to record the evidence."
"Alright, officer comrade, you've worked hard!" Zhao Yao patted Xiao Zhang's shoulder. His act of being affectionate made Xiao Zhang rather uncomfortable.
Zhao Yao looked around and quickly locked onto Officer Ma who was in plain clothes. Among the six people present, he was the only one who fit the image of a police officer.
"Officer Ma," Zhao Yao handed the microphone over, "I'm Zhao Yao, a special reporter from Dongshan News Channel. I'm here to cover the incident of stopping the car to save the dog. From the perspective of the police, do you have any thoughts on the actions of the volunteers?"
Officer Ma was agitated due to lack of sleep, and seeing the media that he didn't want to see, he said casually, "Boring …"
"What!?" Mrs. Xu couldn't sit still any longer. "We're trying to stop evil people from killing people, and you, a police officer, are saying that we're bored? Do you have a conscience?! "
Zhao Yao immediately changed the target of his attention to Mrs. Xu. "Volunteer, what do you think of the police ignoring the death of a pet dog?"
Officer Ma slammed the table angrily. "Those are not pet dogs! They are legally bred, legally transported, and legally slaughtered in the future! "
Mrs. Xu said angrily, "Slaughtering has never been legal! You inhumane cop! I heard that you narcotics officers often use police dogs to search for drugs. The dogs are German shepherds, right? Doggie was your colleague, yet you sat back and watched your colleague get killed without even batting an eyelid. You're really cruel and merciless … "
"I completely agree with you!" Zhao Yao nodded to Mrs. Xu and immediately rushed to Officer Ma, the microphone almost poking the tip of Officer Ma's nose, "Excuse me, will you make the German Shepherd into a hot pot and eat it after it is retired?"
"Who would eat a police dog!" Officer Ma couldn't stay calm anymore. He forced himself to explain, "Although I've never been a police dog trainer, nor am I the person in charge of the police dogs in the team, I still have feelings for them when we work together. In principle, retired police dogs can be taken care of until they die, or they can be adopted by ordinary citizens who meet the requirements. Of course, the person in charge, who is also the dog handler, has the priority to adopt. After all, police dogs are the closest to their owners … "
"Narrow-Minded!" Mrs. Xu commented. "You don't eat police dogs, but you can sit back and watch other dogs get eaten! What's that saying again? Oh, you're a narrow-minded nationalist! "
"Pfft," I couldn't help but laugh. It was very funny to use the sacred and solemn word "nationality" on dogs.
"Officer Ma, what nationality are you?" Zhao Yao asked quickly.
"My ID says Han … Huh? You're asking me what's the meaning of nationality? "
"Meaning! Since you are a narrow-minded nationalist, are you a believer of the legendary 'Han chauvinism', who insists on the 'Han standard' and oppresses other minorities, such as me? "
Officer Ma was so angry that his nose was crooked, "When did I oppress you? Which minority are you from? "
"My mother is a Manchu," Zhao Yao replied without batting an eyelid. "So I'm also a minority. I represent the other fifty-five minorities outside of the Han to ask you this: When did your narrow Han nationalism form?"
"You …" Officer Ma wanted to curse, but considering the camera was pointed at him, he held it in.
"Huh? Reporter, aren't you straying from the topic? " Mrs. Xu, who had never seen Zhao Yao's style, frowned strangely, "Aren't you here to interview the incident of stopping a car to save a dog?"
"Yes!" Zhao Yao stealthily changed the topic, "Officer Ma, as a Han nationalist, do you think the Pekingese bred by the Han is the best dog in the world?"
"Pekingese bred by Empress Dowager Cixi! You're a Manchu! "
"Let me kindly remind you that I only have half Manchu blood in me. The other half comes from my Han father. Therefore, I can represent the 55 ethnic minorities other than the Han, and I can also represent the Han. It is incorrect for you to call me a Manchu!"
Damn it! Why don't you just say you can represent 56 nationalities! You're representing the entire nation!
"Sorry, Pekingese wasn't bred by Empress Dowager Cixi." The class leader couldn't help but interrupt, "Although there are misconceptions in society, Pekingese have been used in the imperial court since the time of Emperor Qin. When the Tang Dynasty emperor passed away, he would use this dog to accompany him in death …"
"Oh, Shu Sha, you know a lot." Mrs. Xu praised happily, "You're indeed a dog lover, I like you more and more."
Since the reporters came, the Zeng brothers rarely spoke, because ordinary reporters often favored the volunteers and attacked the dog dealers. Zeng Laoliu only said, "We're doing a legal business!" when Officer Ma said, "Breeding and transportation are legal". But it was covered up by Mrs. Xu's following words.
"What? The Tang Dynasty emperor used a Pekingese to accompany him in death? " The half-drunk Boss Zeng groggily raised his head on the table, "How, how low class! You should at least get a Tibetan Mastiff! "
When Zhao Yao heard the class leader take the initiative to speak, he immediately told the cameraman to point the camera at the innermost seat. At the same time, he bent his waist at a 90 degree angle and tried his best to reach the microphone next to the class leader's mouth.
"Little volunteer, judging from your age, you're a student, right? What do you think about the incident of nouveau riche raising Tibetan Mastiffs that frequently injure people? "
The class leader blinked quickly and was a bit suspicious if the other party was a real reporter. Mrs. Xu also shouted: "Who are you from? Why are you talking about all sorts of things, you're not even going off topic like this … "
Zhao Yao awkwardly cleared his throat and asked the class leader again: "Let's not talk about the Tibetan Mastiff for now … are you the beauty of your school?"
"No, I'm not!" The class leader blushed, she never expected the other party to ask this question.
I think it's rare for Zhao Yao to have a good eye. School will start in about 10 days, and the last year's third year students have already graduated, so the school beauty would naturally have graduated as well. If everyone were to vote for a new school beauty, the class leader would have a high chance of being chosen. I would vote for her anyway, it's just that the class leader doesn't want to have such an ostentatious title.
"I don't believe it." Zhao Yao said, "If you're not the school beauty, then you have to go to a film school that trains actors."
"That's right, she's the school beauty." I felt like I couldn't explain it to Zhao Yao, so I might as well just admit it. Anyway, the class leader will probably be secretly chosen as the new school beauty in a few days.
"You …" The class leader was annoyed that I hit her while she was down, but she couldn't do anything to me since I was a patient in front of the camera.
Zhao Yao let out an "oh" and turned his gaze to me, "The volunteer next to me should be the school beauty's classmate? Are you here to protect the campus belle and be her guardian angel? "
I met Zhao Yao once at the entrance of the special education school's affiliated hospital, but I never spoke to him, so he probably doesn't have a deep impression of me.
"More or less." I replied casually, then the class leader's face turned even redder.
I suddenly lowered my head and saw the sunglasses hanging on the collar of my t-shirt. I was startled and remembered the reason I wore sunglasses outside was because I was worried I would be captured by the media. If I appeared on TV, I would be recognized by the audience of 'Bloody Battle of Jin Ling' and cause trouble for myself and melancholy.
Thus I quickly put on the sunglasses and said in a serious tone: "When the interview is broadcasted, shouldn't they censor the faces of the interviewees? At least censor the school beauty and I to protect minors! "
Zhao Yao nodded, "According to the regulations, it does have to be censored, but it would be a pity to censor the school beauty's face. As for your face, I would probably censor it even if you didn't ask …"
Damn, what do you mean! Are you saying that if my face suddenly appears on TV, it will scare the children?
Zhao Yao didn't say anything after he saw me put on the sunglasses. Maybe he thought it would save some time for the program if I censored it.
"Oh right." I said after I put on the sunglasses, "You can interview, but don't speak nonsense. Also, don't reveal our names, we're not doing this to appear on TV or to become famous!"
Although I never mentioned my name was Ye Lin, the class leader was already called by her real name by Mrs. Xu, so Zhao Yao must have heard it since his ears are sharper than a rabbit's.
"Okay! I swear on my honor that I will protect the privacy of minors! " Zhao Yao gestured for the cameraman to keep filming while he pointed the microphone towards the class leader and said enthusiastically:
"Student Shu Sha, who wishes to remain anonymous, may I ask if you're here to show off and prove that you're not only beautiful on the outside but also beautiful on the inside? Is that why you're here to stop the car to save the dog?"
