I became beautiful by eating melons

"Brother Chang!"

"Brother Chang, congratulations!"

Chang Bin walked into the newspaper office, unable to suppress the joy on his face.

The newspaper sold well and he finally proved his ability.

From now on, no one will ever say that he is a relative of someone who got in through the back door.

Fang Zhuang walked towards him, and Chang Bin raised his head with a look of pride in his eyes.

"Congratulations, Chang Bin." Fang Zhuang congratulated calmly.

Seeing Fang Zhuang was still calm, Chang Bin's face darkened for a moment before he reluctantly said, "Thank you."

"Brother Chang, the editor-in-chief wants to see you."

Chang Bin pushed Fang Zhuang aside and walked into the editor-in-chief's office with his head held high.

Fang Zhuang rubbed his hurt shoulder with a bitter expression.

Those who saw it all spoke up for Fang Zhuang.

"Fang Zhuang, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Seeing Fang Zhuang saying it was okay while rubbing his shoulders, the people around him started to feel sorry for him.

"How dare someone who came in through the back door be so arrogant."

"It's just an article, look how amazing it is."

"Fang Zhuang, don't be afraid, we are all on your side."

Fang Zhuang comforted everyone, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

He sat back in his seat and glanced towards the editor-in-chief's office.

It won't be him who is in trouble.

Chang Bin, on the other hand, was in real trouble.

He closed the file, which contained an investigation into Ye Rou's social relations.

Fang Zhuang suppressed the secret curl of his lips and continued to rub his shoulders as if in pain.

-

His father was on the phone, his face serious.

"I see. Okay, I'll go now. Yes, we should learn from this lesson and reflect on it seriously."

Changbin was confused by what he heard.

After his father hung up the phone, Chang Bin raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "The printing factory has already started printing more copies."

Chang Wen threw himself into the chair and rubbed his brow in pain, "Tell them to stop."

"Ah?" Chang Bin: "Why stop? This issue of the newspaper is selling like hot cakes, there's no need to worry about sales."

Chang Wen raised his head with a serious expression, "Let me ask you, has Director Jiang told you that there are still two human traffickers on the run?"

“He told me that,” Chang Bin replied nonchalantly, “What does this have to do with the newspaper?”

Seeing that he had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, Chang Wen slammed the table and stood up with a frighteningly cold expression.

"What does it matter!" he shouted, "If the two human traffickers on the run see the newspaper and retaliate against Ye Rou, do you have any responsibility?"

Chang Bin has been afraid of his father since he was a child. He trembled when he was yelled at, but he was not convinced and said, "But we are reporters, we should report the truth of the news."

Chang Wen poked his fingers at the newspaper with such force that he almost poked a hole in it.

"Whether it's for the truth of the news or the position of deputy editor-in-chief, you know it clearly!"

Chang Bin felt guilty for a moment, but soon stiffened his neck and said, "I have already written the article. If anything happens to Comrade Ye Rou, I will be responsible."

"You are responsible, how can you be responsible!" Chang Wen wanted to use a stick to knock open his stupid son's head to see whether there was brains inside or it was full of water.

He and his wife were busy with work, so they left their son in the care of the elderly at home. When he brought his son home, he found that the child was spoiled, too confident, and his eyes were stuck on his head.

I originally thought he was just arrogant, but I didn't expect him to be so stupid!

The most terrifying thing is to be stupid and not know it.

Chang Wen asked him: "Do you know whose call I answered just now?"

"Who?"

"It's a call from Commander Liang of the Military Region!" Chang Wen became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. His voice rose again. "Before this call, I also received calls from Commander Li of the Military Region and Zheng Zhiyuan, the director of the CPPCC!"

Changbin shrugged his shoulders, not daring to ask why they were calling.

Faced with these huge pressures, Chang Bin got scared.

He whispered, "I'll contact the newspaper to stop printing more copies."

Before Chang Wen could speak, the phone rang again.

He pointed his finger at Chang Bin in the air, suppressed his anger and answered the phone.

Chang Bin secretly glanced at his father's expression. He didn't know what he said on the other end, but his father's shoulders immediately slumped, and in a moment he started wiping the sweat off his face with his sleeves.

“Yes, we will accept the investigation and make corrections.”

After hanging up the phone, Chang Wen gave a bitter smile.

Changbin asked curiously, “Dad, who’s calling?”

"It's a call from the chief's secretary."

Chang Wen gave the answer, looked up at his son, and said in a hoarse voice: "You don't have to come to the newspaper office tomorrow."

"What do you mean?"

"You are fired."

Chang Bin's legs went limp, and he lost the complacency he had just felt, his face turned pale.

-

As usual, Jiang Chen came to pick up Ye Rou after get off work. The jeep drove out of the military area, and Ye Rou frowned and looked out the window.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chen asked.

Ye Rou shook her head, "Nothing."

After the jeep drove away, Xiao Heng came out from the corner and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

There was gauze wrapped around his head, which was caused by Ye Rou hitting him with a stone.

Xiao Heng was completely afraid of Ye Rou. He thought of going to Gangcheng after getting money from Sun Xiaoxing and never coming back to Beijing.

Because of what happened yesterday, Xiao Heng was afraid that the guard at the door would recognize him, so he didn't dare to get too close and squatted on the side waiting for Sun Xiaoxing to come out.

"Comrade, may I ask if the girl above works here?"

The woman wearing a headscarf and tattered clothes pointed at the photo in the newspaper and asked the guard at the door.

The guard glanced at the newspaper and asked cautiously: "Who are you? Why are you asking about her?"

"I'm her aunt." The woman seemed frightened and immediately explained, "My husband died and my in-laws kicked me out. She's the only relative I have left, so I had no choice but to come to Beijing to seek refuge with her."

The younger guards felt sorry for her and were touched.

The older guard said sternly, "We don't know. Please leave."

The woman was frightened and left in a panic.

"Sergeant?" Seeing the woman staggering, the young guard was puzzled.

"Stand at your post and mind your own business."

Xiao Heng turned his eyes slightly, stared at the woman, and followed her for a while.

He chased into a secluded alley and was confronted with a gun.

The woman had a cold expression on her face and pointed the gun at his head.

Xiao Heng paused, turned around and tried to run, but his way was blocked by a man whose face looked as if he had been scalded by boiling water, with the skin on the sides of his face burnt black.

"Boy, why are you following my sister?" the man grabbed Xiao Heng's neck and asked.

The woman who had been timid at the door just now now relaxed. Her expression was calm but dangerous. She glanced up and down at Xiao Heng and said, "Laizi, let him go."

Lai Zi let go, and Xiao Heng coughed hard before he could catch his breath.

"Sorry, my brother has a bad temper." The woman spoke gently, "Comrade, why are you following me?"

Xiao Heng didn't say anything, his eyes fell on the newspaper the woman was holding.

The woman's expression changed slightly. She unfolded the newspaper, pointed at the photo and asked, "Do you know the girl in it?"

Xiao Heng nodded.

The woman immediately smiled and said, "Great, I'm her aunt, and I came to Beijing just to find her. Can you tell me where she is?"

"She doesn't have any younger sister-in-law. Who are you?" Xiao Heng looked at the gun in the woman's hand, then at the vicious-looking man, and thought of what he saw in the newspaper. He suddenly realized, "You are human traffickers."

The man grabbed Xiao Heng's hair and said, "Boy, you talk too much nonsense. You just answer whatever my sister asks you. Do you understand?"

Xiao Heng screamed in pain.

When Sister Hong saw that it was almost time, she signaled Lai Zi to let go.

She said gently, "Tell us everything you know, and we won't make things difficult for you."

Xiao Heng thought of the debt collectors lingering outside his house and licked his cracked lips.

"I can take you to find her, but you have to pay me."

Seeing that he was getting ahead of himself, Lai Zi became furious and raised his hand to hit him.

Xiao Heng raised his head fearlessly, his expression showing a ruthless determination to risk his life.

"Kill me if you can."

Anyway, I will be hacked to death by the debt collectors when I go back. It's death anyway, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

Sister Hong snorted and laughed, "Little brother, we can discuss it."

Xiao Heng straightened his messed-up clothes and said, "Don't worry, I hate her too. I won't tell anyone. Just give me the money and we can talk about it after this."

"I agreed."

Sister Hong curled her lips slightly, her eyes salivating as she thought of the girl in the newspaper.

She will squeeze all the compensation money out of Ye Rou this time.
