After a long inner struggle, Yuan Fangguo finally pressed the answer button.
"Mr. Yuan, are you free to talk now?" Ouyang Lin went straight to the point.
"I'm fine now. What can I do for you? Reporter Ouyang." Yuan Fangguo said politely.
"I need to talk to you in person about this matter." Ouyang Lin's tone suddenly became serious. She was so serious that Yuan Fangguo was a little confused.
"Where are you now? I'm coming to find you." It was easy to get a taxi where Yuan Fangguo was. Even though it was past nine o'clock in the evening, there were still cars coming and going on the street, just like during the day.
"I'm at the district TV station now. I'll wait for you at the door." Ouyang Lin said.
"Okay, wait for me for more than ten minutes, I'll be there soon." After saying that, Yuan Fangguo quickly pressed the hang-up button.
He did not stop a car immediately, but first found a small shop and bought a bottle of drink. After "replacing" the smell of alcohol in his mouth, he stopped a car and drove straight to the district TV station.
When he arrived at the gate of the district TV station, Ouyang Lin was wearing a black woolen coat and pacing back and forth in the cold wind.
The sound of a taxi stopping suddenly interrupted her deep thoughts. Ouyang Lin quickly glanced up and saw Yuan Fangguo.
She walked over quickly, like a lover who had not seen each other for a long time, full of anticipation.
"Mr. Yuan."
"Reporter Ouyang, what's the matter?" Yuan Fangguo asked quickly.
"Let's go across the street and talk." Ouyang Lin said.
Seeing Ouyang Lin's face full of seriousness and earnestness, Yuan Fangguo felt that this matter should be no ordinary trivial matter. He nodded and quickly followed Ouyang Lin to a small garden across the street.
The small garden was very quiet, so quiet that he could even hear Ouyang Lin's rather nervous breathing.
"I'm sorry, our superiors don't allow us to report what happened to you today." Ouyang Lin said apologetically.
Yuan Fangguo had never expected this to happen. He opened his mouth in surprise, "Ah, what's going on?"
"Some people disagree."
"Who?" Yuan Fangguo frowned, as if he wanted to dig this person out of Ouyang Lin's heart.
"I can't say who this person is, but he's not from the district anyway." Ouyang Lin said, biting her lips tightly.
When Yuan Fangguo heard this, he immediately understood a little bit. Something that even a conscientious reporter like Ouyang Lin dared not report must have a lot of connections with the higher-ups.
"But don't worry, it's not directed at you." Ouyang Lin added again.
This time Yuan Fangguo understood everything. It turned out that Ouyang Lin had interviewed another construction site about the issue of withheld wages for migrant workers in the morning, and his salary happened to be used to pay the migrant workers. There was a sharp contrast between the two. For the sake of interests, Ouyang Lin and his TV station could not report it.
"It's okay, this is normal." Yuan Fangguo smiled slightly and comforted Ouyang Lin.
"I'm really sorry, some things are really beyond our control." Ouyang Lin raised her head, and Yuan Fangguo happened to see some glistening tears in her eyes.
"It doesn't matter. This is how society is. We are all people in the game, and only those who make the rules of the game can have the last laugh." Yuan Fangguo said.
"You won't blame me, will you?" Ouyang Lin asked.
Yuan Fangguo shook his head calmly and seriously, "How could I blame you?"
"Thank you." Ouyang Lin forced a smile.
"Are you going back?" Yuan Fangguo suddenly asked.
Ouyang Lin was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I'm going back."
"Then I'll take you there."
"It's okay, I'll take a taxi back."
"It's okay, let's go together. I don't have a car tonight." Yuan Fangguo said self-deprecatingly.
"Where is your driver?" Ouyang Lin asked.
"I had dinner with some friends tonight. Afterwards, the driver took them home. I was thinking of walking back, and I happened to see you calling me."
"Am I making a big deal out of nothing?" Ouyang Lin asked apologetically.
"No, you're very sincere, the kind of friend I can make deep connections with."
"Really? But I think I have quite a temper."
"Everyone has a temper, it just depends on how you control it."
"Okay, after hearing what you said, I think I still need to improve my emotional intelligence and not be unable to control my emotions." Ouyang Lin said with a smile.
"Yours is already very tall, enough for many of us to look up to."
"You have such a sweet talk." Ouyang Lin couldn't help laughing. She suddenly found that chatting with Yuan Fangguo was a very interesting thing. At noon, although the two of them had communicated a lot, due to the presence of colleagues around them, the witty and humorous side of their personalities was restrained. Now the two of them were alone in the small garden. After some communication, Ouyang Lin found that Yuan Fangguo was really a very interesting person.
"You'd better be careful with men who are sweet-talkers." Although Yuan Fangguo was sober at the moment, he couldn't resist the catalytic effect of alcohol and became a little slick.
"What should I be careful of?" Ouyang Lin asked subconsciously.
"Be careful not to catch a cold. Let's stop a car quickly. It's not easy to stop a car in this place." Yuan Fangguo frowned.
Ouyang Lin said, "Actually, I've never been home this late before. The producer just wanted to see me tonight, so I'm up so late."
The two of them came outside while talking, and saw that there were very few vehicles on the road, let alone taxis.
I waited there for a few minutes, but didn't see any car or even a person.
"Why don't we go to the intersection ahead? Maybe there will be a car there." Ouyang Lin said.
"Okay." Yuan Fangguo nodded. He walked outside and Ouyang Lin walked inside. From a distance, they looked like a couple.
When we arrived at the intersection, we found that there were still few cars passing by on the street, let alone taxis.
"Why don't we walk back?" Ouyang Lin subconsciously wrapped his coat around him.
"This distance doesn't seem far, but it will definitely be difficult to walk. Let me call the driver and see where he is." Yuan Fangguo took out his mobile phone and called Chen Hanjun.
Coincidentally, Chen Hanjun was nearby. When he received a call from Yuan Fangguo, he immediately drove over.
After sending Ouyang Lin home, Yuan Fangguo asked Chen Hanjun to take him back.
After returning home, he suddenly felt unhappy. Why should he be implicated by the shameful things they did?
