Chapter 33: The Sad Old Second Chen
Xie Lei sat on the empty train, looking at the scenery outside the window, but thinking about the candidate named Chen Qiaoshan in Dengzhou.
After calling Zhang Qingshan in the morning, she received three messages from the other party. The text message was very simple, and it was written about the top three in the Henan Provincial College Entrance Examination this year.
Reporter Xie is a professional journalist with ideals and pursuits. He finally got this news, but he didn't want to pass on a simple manuscript. She wanted to dig deep into the news.
Xie Lei, who has a keen sense of smell, found that in recent years, the Internet media has gradually flourished and has long posed a substantial threat to traditional paper media. However, the group leaders and editors have no sense of crisis at all. They look like they are the eldest and the second, and are still immersed in the glory of the past.
News pays attention to timeliness. In the past, traditional media had the fastest news, followed by communications. Now the timeliness of news has been directly subverted by the Internet. As long as new media work hard on authenticity, Xie Lei even believes that the newspaper industry will be overthrown sooner or later.
Sometimes she also wants to join the Internet wave, and many of her classmates work under Internet giants such as Sina NetEase, but in the end she gave up this idea.
The reporter is still a very popular job these days, and the title of Uncrowned King is not in vain. No matter how the situation develops in the future, no matter whether it is print media or Internet new media, there is no shortage of her, Xie Lei, for a meal.
The competition among journalists is also fierce. There are a lot of news materials every day, but there are few valuable clues. It takes not only luck to create big news, but also strong news literacy. For the same message, some people can only see the surface, while some journalists can dig deep and make series of reports.
The news content of the top scorer in the college entrance examination is actually that. There are 32 provinces, cities and autonomous regions across the country. There will be dozens of top scorers in the college entrance examination that year, but this year is a little different.
It is still during the SARS epidemic. Newspapers are reported all day long about SARS. The public's mood is depressed. The news of the top scorer in the college entrance examination is a heart-warming agent, which can undoubtedly attract the attention of most people.
The topic of the top scorer in the college entrance examination can arouse widespread discussion in the society every year. Xie Lei just edits the information in her hand and puts it into a manuscript of Huatuanjingcun to send it to the editor-in-chief. Tomorrow, it will be the front page.
However, if she didn't do this, the manuscript would definitely be published, but she found several news points from these three results.
Chen Qiaoshan’s total score is 736, Chinese 144, mathematics 150, English 148, and major comprehensive 294
Yan Xiaoqin's total score is 684, Chinese 131, mathematics 141, English 138, big comprehensive 274
Ma Chungui's total score is 680, Chinese 123, mathematics 139, English 133, big comprehensive 285
When Xie Lei saw these results at the first time, she was shocked. The top scorer in the college entrance examination this year was too outrageous. She went to check it out specifically. This result must be the highest score in the college entrance examination in Henan Province in history.
Then she discovered another problem. The total score difference between the top scorer in the college entrance examination this year and the second place was 52 points, and there has never been such a huge score difference in history.
Finally, she saw something from the admission ticket number. The admission ticket numbers of the top scorers were extremely close to those of the second place. Xie Lei also came from the college entrance examination. It was obvious that the two of them were from the same place, but this was not unusual. In previous years, there were also cases where the top scorers in the arts and sciences were released from the same school together.
She asked someone to inquire about the first two of them from Dengzhou No. 1 High School, and the third one was from Z County No. 1 High School. This is interesting. Dengzhou No. 1 High School is not very famous in Henan Province. It was the first time she heard about it. As a result, she released satellites this time, and captured the first two of them in Henan Province.
Xie Lei immediately made up her mind and prepared to make a series of reports. The top scorer's score was already very gimmick. Under the pressure of SARS, this news would definitely ignite public opinion. She first greeted the newspaper and then headed straight to the train station, and boarded the most recent train to Dengzhou.
The train took six hours to arrive. She wrote a manuscript on the train and briefly introduced the results of the top three, mainly to build momentum for subsequent reports. She was considering the next schedule for the rest of the time.
She knew that this news was not exclusive, and the news would be published tomorrow. Her goal was very clear. She wanted to dig deep into the stories of the school family of the two top two. In this extremely depressing period, these news could undoubtedly attract more people to participate in the discussion.
Chen Qiaoshan didn't know that he had been missed by others, and he would be suffering from the destruction of his family.
He now has three sisters, which is very rare in this era. In the later generations, families with so many children are basically rich or celebrities.
Lao Touzi was fined 7.48 million yuan for his extra birth, and Chen Weiguo was fined only 3,000 yuan, saving more than 7 million yuan in disguise. I have to say that he took a big advantage. Thinking of this, Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help laughing.
"Second brother, don't move around!"
Chen Xi was washing Chen Qiaoshan's hair now. His left foot was injured and he couldn't touch the ground after bandaging it. It was inconvenient to wash his face when it was hot, let alone wash his hair. At this time, it was obvious that he had a younger sister.
Yesterday, Sun Guangming and Yan Xiaoqin sent him home. Chen Xi was worried about his injury at first, but after the two left, her focus shifted to Yan Xiaoqin.
She had seen Yan Xiaoqin before, and she had seen her twice, and she was with Chen Qiaoshan every time. The first time she was the most suspicious, her second brother actually sent her back to the dormitory. No matter how slow the person was, he would doubt the relationship between the two.
In Chen Xi's impression, my second brother used to be a dull person. Not to mention talking about girlfriends, he wouldn't even talk to unfamiliar people, but he suddenly changed a lot recently.
My second brother was much cheerful than before. He first ran to her class to give her mask, and then talked on the podium. There was also the radio broadcast. Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, she immediately confirmed that it was his voice, and the injury this time was also very strange.
"Second brother, why did you get hurt your feet?"
Chen Qiaoshan was a little surprised. He explained yesterday, why did he ask again? He habitually prepared to look up, but he was slapped on his forehead. Chen Xi complained: "Don't move, it's all Mozi!"
He lay down obediently and said, "Didn't you tell me yesterday? I had dinner with my classmates in the noodle restaurant. When I came out, I stepped on the glass and broke it!"
"Oh?" Chen Xi looked unquestionable, "Then are you walking barefoot?"
Chen Qiaoshan looked like a ghost, but why didn't he expect that his shoes and socks were still intact? Just as he was thinking, he was slapped in the forehead again, this time it was a little heavy, and he was a little annoyed, "Chen Xi! I am your brother, I'll beat you up if I'm not too old or not!"
"Who is not big or young? Who do you want to beat?"
Chen Qiaoshan was timid, and he couldn't do it anymore. This time it was Tao Xiuying who took action, and he obviously couldn't afford to offend him. Chen Xi laughed gloatingly from the side with a "pop" sound.
"Dragon, I forgot to ask yesterday, what is your relationship with the girl you sent you back?"
"Mom, just ask, why are you hitting me?"
"What's wrong with me hitting you? Do you have any objections?"
"No, no objection!" Chen Qiaoshan, who was slapped on the forehead, learned his lesson and stopped talking.
"The third brother said, what happened to your injury? I found that you didn't tell the truth!"
Chen Qiaoshan was speechless. A lie needed countless lies to cover up. Thinking of this, he simply said directly: "If I said it was injured to save people in the river, do you believe it?"
Chen Xi curled his lips and said while flushing his head: "Second brother, I found that you have learned to brag recently!"
Tao Xiuying said disdainfully: "You are going to the river to save people. You land duck will not sink if you go down the river!"
He was exposed when he told lies, and when he told the truth, he was criticized. Chen Qiaoshan felt very wronged and simply shut up. He finally understood why Chen Weiguo and Chen Qiaoshan were both silent. The women of the Chen family were so powerful. They said less and made mistakes, and they were not right.
