Chapter 6 The Insider (2)

After saying goodbye to Liu Weimin, Lao Liu first sent the money to Lao Li's house, and then returned to his own home. Lao Liu immediately collapsed on the sofa when he got home. Lao Liu couldn't figure it out. He obviously did a good deed. Why was he dismissed?Shouldn't I call and tell the TV station?Thinking of this, Lao Liu shook his head violently, thinking, how could he think so, he did things to have a clear conscience, if he didn't speak out, it would be hard for Lao Li's family, and he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.But he was fired, and the burden of the child will be heavy in the future. The daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and the family is in urgent need of money.Lao Liu did not dare to tell his wife the news of his dismissal, for fear that his wife would be worried, so Lao Liu could only go out at the usual working time every day, and then look for jobs everywhere. Nowhere.When Lao Liu was almost desperate, Lao Liu discovered another thing.

On this day, Lao Liu bid farewell to his wife as usual and went out to look for a job. He met a woman driving a red sports car and beat and kicked a stray cat. , as if stepped on by high heels, Lao Liu couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward and said a few words, but was directly chased away by the woman and her friends, Lao Liu still couldn't bear it, and wanted to pull out his mobile phone to call the police. But this is a cat, the police don't care about this matter, Lao Liu was hesitating, felt a slightly hard card in his pocket, took it out, and saw that it was Liu Weimin's business card, Lao Liu was overjoyed, yes, find it reporter!Lao Liu hurriedly called Liu Weimin, and Liu Weimin was very face-saving, and immediately sent a few reporters to secretly take pictures, and then called the police to drive these people away.Although the police did not save the cat in the end, and did not punish the cat abusers, Liu Weimin's newspaper wrote a front page exposing the cat abuse incident, and published a large picture. The woman had no choice but to apologize and promised that she would never abuse animals again.

Lao Liu was very satisfied with his behavior this time, and he walked with wind. At this time, Lao Liu received a call from Liu Weimin. On the phone, Liu Weimin asked Lao Liu to discuss something with him at a nearby coffee shop.Lao Liu still trusts Liu Weimin in his heart. In Lao Liu's eyes, what is a reporter?That is another law enforcement officer. Although there is no way to sentence them, they can bring pressure to those people. I feel that they are much better than the police, and they are more just. Lao Liu went there.This is the first time for Lao Liu to enter a place like a coffee shop. Lao Liu usually doesn't even drink tea, let alone the bitter coffee. Liu can't afford it, and old Liu will be satisfied after drinking milk a few times.When Lao Liu arrived at the coffee shop, Liu Weimin had already sat down. Liu Weimin was wearing a suit that day, very formal and energetic. Lao Liu hurried forward to sit down, and then Liu Weimin pushed the orange juice on the table forward.

"I don't know what you like to drink, but I thought you wouldn't like coffee in the past, so I ordered orange juice for you." Liu Weimin smiled naturally, and his face was flushed as if there was some happy event recently. Liu Weimin glanced at Lao Liu , and continued to speak slowly: "I heard that Uncle Liu, you haven't found a job yet."

"Well, yes, it's rare that you still miss the editor-in-chief. I'm so old, it's hard to find, and it's even more difficult to find because of the uproar caused by the reporter's interview before. Sigh..." Old Liu sighed deeply, These days, why hasn't he worked hard, either because he is too old, or because it is inconvenient for Lao Liu to be a celebrity, anyway, he didn't find a job, and he was almost worried.

Seeing Old Liu's expression, Liu Weimin suddenly smiled, and said, "Uncle Liu is so old, he should rest at home. The job of security guard with black and white is really not suitable for you."

"I can't help it, I'm not educated...and I don't know how to do other things." Lao Liu was a little embarrassed when he said this. Lao Liu was a worker in his early years. After he was laid off, he had no choice but to find a job as a security guard. I have no education. In today's society, apart from being a security guard, I can only sweep the streets. At this age, who would dare to ask him to sweep the streets? If he is tired by the side of the road, it will be a big problem.

"How about this, Uncle Liu." Liu Weimin turned around and took out an envelope from his bag. It was square and square, and it should contain money. He pushed it in front of Old Liu, and said with a smile, "I have a job that suits you." , if I give you an introduction, I will thank you for providing me with clues, sir."

Lao Liu saw Liu Weimin's expression was very sincere, but when he saw the money Liu Weimin handed over, Lao Liu panicked, Lao Liu touched it, it was so thick, it was at least [-] million, Lao Liu quickly pushed the money back, He said embarrassingly: "I am already very grateful for the job introduction of the editor-in-chief. Why should I ask for money? Giving clues is what I should do. It's just that I have no education, and I can't do anything else. Could it be that the editor-in-chief also lacks a gatekeeper?" Is it?"

"Haha, I don't need a janitor. I just need someone who can break the news, that is, an 'insider'." Liu Weimin laughed when he saw that Lao Liu's face was blushing, and said, "This job is not difficult. Uncle, if you find something unfair when you walk on the street every day, you can notify me immediately, and I will send someone to take pictures and interviews. For the money, you can use it to buy a mobile phone that can take pictures. If my people don't arrive in time, you can take pictures for me first, and I will pay you according to the number of clues, what do you think?"

Lao Liu listened and thought to himself, is there such a good thing?Earn money with just a phone call?Old Liu was a little unconvinced, Liu Weimin looked at the unbelievable expression on Old Liu's face, and continued: "Uncle Liu, don't think too much, because you are relatively old and you are not easy to be noticed. Take a camera and take pictures there, people will know what they are doing when they see it, how can they provide clues, they have already been driven away~ This job is also to eliminate harm for the people, Mr. Liu."

"That's it, that's it." Hearing Liu Weimin's words, Lao Liu was still half-believing and hesitant.

Liu Weimin seemed to know what Lao Liu was thinking, pushed the money forward, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu. You don't need to pay back the money. It's just money for you to buy mobile phones and go out. If you provide clues, I will give you the money." I'll give you the clue fee, if you can't provide it, you don't have to pay it back, just treat it as my reward for the previous cat abuse incident, what do you think?"

"Then I'll go back and think about it..." Lao Liu said goodbye to Liu Weimin and started walking home.As soon as Lao Liu got home, he opened the door and found that there was no one at home. Lao Liu still felt strange. This wife didn't go out very often, he just went out to buy groceries. Why isn't he at home today?Old Liu was wondering when his cell phone rang suddenly.

"Hello? What? I'll be right there." Lao Liu put down the phone, went into the room, took the money, and hurried out. The call was made by Lao Liu's son, Xiao Liu. Xiao Liu told him that his daughter-in-law had a difficult labor and was in the hospital now. , My wife has already gone to the hospital, and the money is not enough.Lao Liu was anxious when he heard this, and rushed to the hospital with money. When Lao Liu rushed to the hospital, he ran into a nurse who came out of the delivery room. The nurse said that his daughter-in-law was having a difficult labor and that the hysterectomy was going to be performed, and Xiao Liu had to sign a consent form.Xiao Liu immediately signed the contract without saying a word. Looking at the nurses coming in and out, Lao Liu sighed deeply. After cutting the uterus, I am afraid that there will be no children in the future.Then he turned around and went to the payment office to pay the money, and then returned to the door of the delivery room.The operation lasted about an hour. When the daughter-in-law was pushed out, her face was pale and she had no blood at all. The doctor came out and said that the grandson was born because of a lack of oxygen due to dystocia, and she is now staying in the incubator.Only then did the old Liu's family feel relieved, and then the doctor's words made the old Liu's heart hang again.The doctor said that the child is weak and needs to live in an incubator at a cost of [-] per day, which may take a month.Old Liu was like a frost-beaten eggplant, wilting, [-] a day, [-] a month... How can I have so much money... Just as Lao Liu was thinking, his son who went to the payment office came back. Tell Lao Liu that the money has already been handed over.Old Liu was feeling strange when he saw Liu Weimin walking towards him. Old Liu quickly stood up and offered his seat to Liu Weimin.

"Uncle Liu, I heard that your daughter-in-law is giving birth. I thought I needed money urgently, so I came over to take a look." Liu Weimin smiled so harmlessly that people and animals were harmless. Old Liu's family was stunned. When did Lao Liu meet? This person is rich and enthusiastic.Only Lao Liu knew Liu Weimin, and Lao Liu called Liu Weimin aside.

"Editor-in-Chief, what you said last time..." Lao Liu thought to himself, he was also in a hurry to spend money at this time, no matter what, he had to do this job.

"Of course it counts. The operation fee and hospitalization fee will be regarded as my advance payment to you for clues. Next time you provide clues, I will not pay you~" Liu Weimin said calmly, as if the [-] yuan was not enough. What the heck.

"Thank you, thank you. I will definitely find a way to earn this money back for you." Lao Liu looked at Liu Weimin gratefully. At this time, Liu Weimin was simply a god in the sky and a Bodhisattva in the West in Lao Liu's eyes. Worshiped.

"Uncle Liu, you don't need to be so polite. You are my employee now. I will call you Lao Liu. I still have something to do at the newspaper office. I will go back first. Don't worry about the clues. Take your time and deal with the family affairs first. Alright." After Liu Weimin said that, he turned around and left, Old Liu looked at Liu Weimin's figure for a long time, sighed, turned and went back.
