Rachel, a beautiful reporter from the basketball team of TNT TV station, dug up a big melon when interviewing Wang Yi yesterday.
This morning, she felt completely refreshed.
It can be said that ever since that Chinese man uttered his wild words of "conquering the NBA", 90% of the people in the United States have been waiting to see his joke.
They are all waiting for someone to teach him a lesson.
And his interview this time will definitely ruin his reputation.
Let him be like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts to beat him.
So isn’t it easy to get promoted and get a salary increase?
After entering the office building, the reporters she met also greeted her one after another.
He seemed more enthusiastic than before.
When she came to work in the office, she felt that the world was more wonderful than ever before.
Everyone is smiling to themselves.
Even the cactus on the desk seems to have put away its spikes and is releasing its fragrance to itself.
In her estimation, the station director would definitely call her over to praise her today.
Even if you don't get promoted in the end, a salary increase is certain.
Sure enough, at 8:30 in the morning, the director arrived.
Half an hour earlier than usual.
This made Rachel wonder: Could it be that the station director went to work early because of the huge response to what she reported?
Soon, the phone in front of her desk rang.
"Rachel, come here for a moment."
It was indeed the director.
Rachel couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"I'll come right away!"
When she spoke, she was suppressing her excitement.
After hanging up the phone, she couldn't help but clenched her fists and shouted excitedly:
"Death!"
The colleague next to her saw how excited she was and said with a smile:
"congratulations."
"Thanks."
Rachel said, walking briskly as if she was stepping on "Turkish March" under her feet, she quickly arrived at the director's office.
She opened the door carefully, with a subtle yet polite smile.
"Director, you are looking for me."
The director moved his gaze from the computer monitor to Rachel.
"Put down the report you are working on and rest for a month."
"ha!?"
Rachel's mouth opened in an O-shaped shape, as if she had just been stuffed with a fruit.
Aren’t you here to praise yourself?
Wouldn't it be better to get promoted and get a salary increase, become a general manager, become a CEO, marry a rich and handsome man, and reach the pinnacle of life?
Why take a month's rest?
In such a busy office at TNT, what does it mean to take a month off?
Suspended!
In such a fiercely competitive basketball team, suspension means that he will be replaced soon.
"Director, why? I want to know why?"
After swallowing her confusion, Rachel stared at the director with wide eyes.
The director frowned tightly and looked gloomy:
"Because you messed with someone you shouldn't mess with."
Rachel's stupidity fruit was gradually digested and absorbed, and her entire face showed a three-dimensional effect of the word stupidity.
"Director, I'm pretty sure that I haven't offended anyone this month."
The director lit a cigarette and took a puff.
The thumb of his right hand holding the cigarette was rubbing his temple.
After a while, he said:
"Rachel, didn't you realize that last night's report didn't cause any waves on the Internet at all?"
Rachel was slightly startled when she heard this.
Said: "I thought it was only eight o'clock, and many people didn't have time to read sports news, so..."
The director shook his head, took another puff of cigarette, let out a long breath, and exhaled a cloud of smoke.
"This is because someone is controlling public opinion."
"Controlling public opinion?"
Rachel's eyes widened in disbelief: "Impossible, this is a free country, especially freedom of speech."
"hehe."
The station director laughed dryly: "Freedom of speech? You have been a reporter for two years, do you still believe in this?"
Rachel was stunned.
Before becoming a reporter, she naively thought that everything was as good as it seemed, and she believed in freedom of speech.
But after becoming a reporter, she has understood that the so-called freedom of speech in this country is only superficial freedom.
Many times, interviews are not allowed to be broadcast and texts are not allowed to be written.
As long as it will harm the interests of certain large groups and bosses, we can't say anything.
So she has long known that the so-called freedom of speech is complete nonsense.
But at this time, she was unwilling to let her be suspended like this.
"That Oriental guy, he has no background here."
"And all Americans hope that he will be discredited. My report is what the people want. It has not harmed anyone's interests. How could it be..."
"Rachel," the station director shook his head and continued to rub his temples with his thumb, "many things are not as simple as they appear. You have not harmed the interests of our people, but have you considered that you have harmed the Chinese people?"
People’s interests.”
"But……"
"Rachel, don't ask me again. I don't know what the relationship is with that Chinese guy. Anyway, all the media reports about him today have been suppressed. Didn't you notice?"
Rachel couldn't help but be stunned.
She really didn't see any other media reporting on that incident today.
She was just a little weird before, but she didn't think too deeply about it.
Now that the station director said this, she realized that there was a relationship behind it that she could never imagine.
Being able to control the public opinion of the entire United States, the big boss behind this is definitely not simple.
"Rachel, I don't know who the big boss is. But I know that you caused trouble and also caused trouble for us. So in order to prevent the trouble from getting bigger, we can only suspend you. I hope you can
understand."
The look in Rachel's eyes gradually became dull.
…
That afternoon, the entire league received the notice.
The league fined Wang Yi $50,000, suspended him for three games, and fined him for three days of community volunteering.
This kind of punishment is obviously too severe.
But neither the Lakers nor Wang Yi expressed doubts.
If you hold on to the limelight of public opinion, you have to get it back on the other side.
Otherwise, I'm afraid the public's anger will be difficult to quell.
And US$50,000 is not a big problem for Wang Yi now.
A three-game suspension will, at best, affect the Lakers' ranking.
The Lakers have faced weak teams in these three games.
As long as you perform normally, it will have no impact on your rankings at all.
Wang Yi originally planned to fly to the next away game with the Lakers.
But then Luo Lin called and said to Wang Yi:
"Another big brand came to talk to me about endorsement."
Wang Yi asked: "Which one?"
Rowling replied: "There is a mobile phone brand in the mainland, Huawei. But I suggest rejecting their endorsement. They are currently being severely suppressed here. They don't want to give up the North American market, so they have been looking for celebrity endorsements recently. But here
Celebrities all know their current situation, so no one accepts their endorsements."
"If you endorse it, it will have a great impact on your reputation here."
