【676】Down(1/2)
Retia went upstairs first, and had to play with Hawley for a while before going to bed.
Li Qin walked out of the house with the note from Su, sat down on the chair in front of the porch, and then took out his cell phone and dialed it out.
"Hey, boss? Do you have any instructions?"
Helena's voice came, and she sounded in good condition.
Li Qin smiled and asked, "What are you happy with when you encounter something you want to be happy about?"
"It's the case about the new program. The review of the General Office has passed. I was originally scheduled to be the host of the first three episodes. I have won the first four episodes. I have thanked you for your help. I have signed a contract with Louis' assistant."
The young reporter stepped onto the anchor station, which was a qualitative leap, so there was naturally a reason to be happy.
Li Qin asked again: "Are you in Eugene or Portland?"
"Portland, because I have to make a script with the editorial department, I will send it to the Speaker's Office for content review. Oh my God, I'm almost busy."
"I need you to do me a favor."
Helena, who was very busy, certainly didn't dare to refuse Li Qin's instructions. Instead, she hoped to do more for her boss.
The premise of harvest is to give, and Li Qin has always given it to her, and she has not been able to repay much. Once this relationship is unbalanced, Helena knows very well that she will be instantly beaten back to her true form.
"You tell me, I will do it."
"Go to a place and give me some money to a mother and daughter. Don't need too much. One or two thousand knives is enough. Then it's best to be friends with her and help her with nothing to do. But don't need to be too enthusiastic. Oh, by the way, just say you are Su's friend, do you understand?"
Li Qin didn't explain much, but just told her how to complete the task.
Helena felt that this routine was very familiar for a moment...
It seems like I'm trapped like this?
If the boss has a new goal, he wants to recruit him?
She suddenly became curious about this younger generation. It was like the sophomore's care for the new elementary school girl, and she always felt like she saw her shadow back then.
"Ok, I will do it, Su's friend is right? Don't worry, I won't disclose your affairs."
"Go, report any situation at any time, oh, forget it too late, I'm going to rest unless it's something urgent."
Nora's husband's case can't help much. After his personal bankruptcy, Nora needs nothing more than financial support, which can allow them to live a life of mother and daughter.
So, she won't get into too much trouble.
But let Helena make friends in the past, but she never knew each other and gave her a considerable amount of money, it was difficult for Nora to feel embarrassed to speak.
Money will be spent.
After applying for bankruptcy, it is difficult to find a job. It won’t take long before Nora will fall into the endless abyss again, and there will be no hope.
After repeated pain and torture, when the dawn appears again, she will hold it tightly and never let go again.
Li Qin didn't think it was shameless to do so.
He never treats his own people unfairly. As long as Nora joins in, she will find that she has received more than she expected.
After explaining this, Li Qin hung up the phone.
...
Portland.
Helena was not in a hurry to set off. She saw that the address was a motel, which proved that the other party had not yet reached the point of being in the streets and being at stake.
As a newcomer, it needs to be tempered.
It was a thrilling day to think that her mother was directly "kidnapped" from her family and used to threaten her to join.
She continued to discuss the script with the editor, and waited for the first plan to be made and sent to the email address of the staff of the Speaker's Office. The takeaway coffee and late-night snacks that she ordered were also delivered, and she handed them to the editorial department's people-
"Enjoy it well. After the show goes online, I will invite you to go to a high-end restaurant to spend."
Everyone in the editorial department is flattering.
"Oh, Helena, you're so kind."
"Just wait for your celebration banquet!"
"I knew you would definitely make a comeback, you were born to be an anchor."
Helena's rapid rise has become a topic of discussion in the branch office.
The new anchor was knocked out in a very short time. Many people thought that this girl was finished and her life was the life of an outfield reporter.
Ten years later, it will be even more difficult to stand out without the capital of beauty and youth.
But who would have thought that she had emerged as a sudden attack. Several major cases shocked the station. Even the president of the branch regarded her as a guest of honor and even took the initiative to contact the station to make her debut on the new program.
That is the top program plan of Channel N, with ratings covering the whole country, and this girl will obviously reach the top in one step.
If someone who doesn't know how to curry favor with her at this time is really an idiot.
What's even more strange is...
No one dared to say anything about Helena being in the stage leader. Even the people on the anchor stage have been tightening their mouths very low-key recently.
It seems that he dare not provoke him.
The middle-level employees in the station couldn't understand these things, but the old anchors were all talented.
They knew very well that it would be difficult for Helena to get several previous interviews with the resources of the sub-table, not to mention that it was involved in the on-site arrests involving FBI.
When the news of the new program spread, of course some people expressed dissatisfaction. Why can Helena get on the top and complete a triple jump?
Then, Locke, the president of the branch station, told these people very bluntly: "Helena was holding the interview contract of the new House Speaker and was recognized by the General Office."
"Who can find a guest contract of the same level or try to compete with Helena. I have always been very fair."
As soon as these words came out, they collectively became silent.
Is Helena bringing funds to the group?
That's all right!
And anyone with discerning eyes knows that the Speaker's invitation to visit is not something that ordinary people can get.
Therefore, the person Helena is not with Locke, because even Locke is unlikely to get the guest contract of the new House Speaker. Unless it is the General Office comes out, there will be a corresponding price.
The person Helena is so famous.
Now Helena has completed a class leap, and the original enemy is no longer qualified to be called an enemy.
Then as long as these people are not stupid, they will not be unhappy for themselves and spread rumors that can make them complain but have no actual value.
"Everyone go back early to rest, I'm going to see a friend."
After saying hello, Helena set off with her bag.
It's already 2:30 in the morning.
She set up navigation according to the address and looked towards the edge of the city.
Most motels are on the main roads in the suburbs, mainly for passers-by, or come from the city, and take dancers to discuss the depth of life and the length of life, without wishing to be discovered by acquaintances.
The last one is that the economy is under heavy pressure and there is no place to go.
There are also rooms in the motel, which are priced at bed fees. The cheapest ones cost only $15 for one night. Free coffee, laundry and bathroom are also provided.
Some people who are struggling at the bottom of society can get a place to shelter from the wind and rain for two hours. They can save some food, and they can also slowly save money and gradually climb to the normal living class of people.
And now Nora is really worse than Su's.
Su also has at least a stable job as a supermarket cashier and has a house, and the mother and daughter have no idea where the future is.
Originally, the middle class with a happy family and a carefree life, this time the incident can be said to have fallen into the abyss, and the gap is too severe.
On the contrary, that damn man can enjoy stability and food and clothing in prison without worry.
Gu Jing
If you can chat with the elder brother next door, you might be lucky enough to join the prison plumber exchange and learning, and your life will be colorful.
Nora really wanted to drink a drink and release some pressure, but she didn't dare to do so. She was afraid that the people who came to help her would be disappointed, and she was afraid that she would worry her daughter if she drank too much.
She is not alone, and she has a heavy burden of responsibility.
When she coaxed Patricia to sleep, she stared at the silent TV alone in a daze.
The light and shadow of the TV screen swept across the face, reflecting silent tears.
Until the sound of a light knock on the door sounded.
She jumped up like a frightened grasshopper, wiped her face with her hands in panic, then cleared her throat, lowered her voice and asked, "Who is it?"
Motels are not so peaceful, and there are always drunk people who cause trouble.
Nora also has a special forces resume and even worked in the infamous Blackwater. Later, she met her husband and returned to her family.
All skills are abandoned, but it is like learning to master balance after riding a bicycle, and it is difficult to forget again.
She was not a problem to hit a few ordinary people.
"Is it Nora Kingsley? I am Su's friend." A female voice came and after hearing her self-introduction, she felt at ease.
