Back to 1993 through time travel

Wang Ning waited for the reporter to leave, and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.When those two people were chatting, the phone vibrated several times. He opened it and saw that two missed calls were all from Xia Tian.

There is also a text message: I didn't finish talking just now, please call back if it is convenient.

Looking at the line, Wang Ning remembered that after taking a shower, Xia Tian sent a text message saying that he had something to look for, and after the two reporters came to the door, he didn't have time to reply, and he didn't expect it to be for such a matter at all.

After pondering for a long time, he smiled indifferently and dialed the phone casually.

Xia Tian’s speech was still quite measured, he didn’t speak directly, but first tested whether Wang Ning knew about it, whether the media had approached him, and after getting a negative answer, he roughly explained the ins and outs. , but also implies that it can be beneficial.

Wang Ning was giggling as usual, and while listening, he said that he was still at a loss. He didn't expect such a big trouble on the Internet. Everyone said that the tree is big, and his brother Feng was probably targeted by someone with jealousy. As a brother, of course he understands. What to do.As for the benefit part, he avoided mentioning it, and only said that he had taken care of Gao Jianfeng for so many years, and he should help him with this little help.

"Brother, don't worry." Wang Ning patted his chest as a guarantee, but his eyes were clear and cold, "No one has looked for me yet. I will be careful when I look back, and I will never let them take advantage of it. Hey, what do you say? Helping people can really edit, why don’t you write movie scripts if you have this skill, it’s so fucking hard to see grandma’s house for domestic movies.”

The tone and attitude are the same as before, and Xia Tian has not heard anything abnormal for the time being.After putting down the phone, Wang Ning's face darkened, and he sat on the sofa alone and smoked a cigarette.

After a long time, Du Jie came out from the back room, and asked in a daze, "Who were those two just now?"

"Oh, it's okay, client, I'm here to talk about tourism projects." Wang Ning replied lightly.

Du Jie hummed, and walked slowly to the coffee table. She had undergone hip replacement surgery for many years, but she was used to walking slowly. Sitting on the sofa, she looked at her son's expression with some caution. Ask: "Just now, I seem to have heard them mention An'an?"

Wang Ning frowned immediately: "You are a servant, there is someone with the same name in the regiment."

Du Jie nodded slowly: "I thought they were An An's classmates."

classmate?Wang Ning looked at Du Jie, but couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment.After all, my mother is still too naive. How many years have passed, besides Gao Jianfeng, where else have teachers and classmates come to see them? !

As far as what happened back then, he didn't know the details, and his impression of Wang An's elder brother has become more and more vague.To be honest, it might not be as friendly and clear as Gao Jianfeng. After all, for a while, Gao Jianfeng would come to their house every month to send some food and supplies.Until later when I went to serve in the army, I would still call to say hello every now and then.At that time, he was already able to lead a group to make money, and the family conditions improved a lot. Gradually, Gao Jianfeng stopped sending money and things over.

When he was a child, he once thought it would be nice to have a big brother like Gao Jianfeng, and even imagined that he was his own brother, which was much cooler than Wang An.In his memory, his brother was sleepwalking all day long, often laughing inexplicably, crying inexplicably, or locking himself in the house.On the day Wang An committed suicide, he was still in school. When he returned home in the evening, he had already been taken away and he was not allowed to see him again.He didn't feel very sad at the time. Seeing his mother crying to death, he questioned whether he was too cold-blooded, but the two brothers had no communication, no communication, and he couldn't even feel any difference without such a person in the family.

Later, he tried to ask his mother, and he also vaguely guessed something. His brother is intersex, and he didn't go to school because he voluntarily dropped out of school. But what makes a child unable to complete compulsory education?All he could think of was encountering collective rejection, even humiliation and bullying.

So why did Gao Jianfeng take care of their mother and child? This is a question that he has thought about more than once since he grew up.For compensation?Or is it because he and Wang An are really good friends?If it's the latter, why didn't Gao Jianfeng come to visit when his brother was alive?

These are all mysteries, but my mother kept her mouth shut. Every time Wang An was mentioned, she would use the nightmare as an excuse to change the topic.

Just like now.

Wang Ning peeled an orange, handed it to Du Jie, and asked casually, "Have you thought of my brother recently?"

Du Jie's eyes were in a daze for a moment, and she shook her head: "No, I'm just an errand, just asking a question. How long has it been, I keep thinking about those things, we are living a good life."

The day is going well...Wang Ning listened, and his heart suddenly became agitated. His mother didn't know how to surf the Internet, and she didn't know about the chaos outside, and a son died for no reason. Apart from being sad and nightmares, she had nothing to do with it. Can't do anything anymore.

"Mom, why did my brother drop out of school?"

Du Jie was stunned for a moment, because Wang An never said that she heard the fragmented truth from the teacher.At that time, besides apologizing, the teacher was also very helpless about the group behavior. The young female teacher was inexperienced and did not have enough ability to control the situation. The only way to persuade her to take the child back first is to wait for a while to adjust her mood before transferring to another school. Maybe it will be fine. Forget about those unpleasant experiences.

When she met Gao Jianfeng later, she didn't ask again. Gao Jianfeng was just a young man at that time. Even if he followed the crowd and bullied An An, everything he did later was obviously compensation. Facing his son's peers, how much did he have with his son? There is also involvement, she really can't bear to be harsh.

What's more, she, the mother, should be most responsible for the whole matter. At that time, she had to support the family and take care of the younger Wang Ning. With very limited financial resources and energy, how could she have the ability to ask for anything for her son? justice?

So she didn't want to mention it for so many years, more or less to avoid her own incompetence and cowardice, she comforted herself countless times, as long as Wang Ning is well, she will be satisfied in this life.

Du Jie sighed imperceptibly: "Why are you asking this? It's just that there is a little conflict in the school. An'an is so preoccupied that she doesn't want to go if she can't think about it."

Wang Ning: "Really? Brother Feng should know what the specific contradiction is, right?"

Du Jie looked at him with some surprise: "It's all about the year of the monkey. Jianfeng is so busy, so don't ask me. He has a good relationship with your brother, and he came to see us later, so he is not happy to let others Looking for trouble."

trouble?What troubles are there now that Gao Jianfeng can't settle?

Besides, as long as you are willing to spend money, there is no problem in this world that cannot be solved!

Wang Ning smiled lightly, and suddenly asked again: "Mom, may I change your house later? Let's move to a bigger house, which will be more spacious, and a small courtyard, where you can grow some flowers and plants, and vegetables if you want also."

Du Jie didn't quite understand: "What, big mouse?"

Wang Ning smiled: "It's a big house, a villa, how about it?"

He said, as if he was holding his breath, and if he wanted to make up for it, he should make up for it big. This kind of thing is not a drop in the bucket at Gao Jianfeng's place! ?

"You're talking nonsense, is that something we can live in?" Du Jie waved her hand, she naturally thought that working people should keep their jobs, "If that's the case, I might as well go back to the village, anyway, your father still left two It’s a dilapidated house, it’s a detached courtyard, and three big tile-roofed houses, it’s no worse than any villa.”

Wang Ning smiled bitterly: "Are you a bit pursuing? I plan to get a passport to take you on a trip. Let's go out to eat delicacies from mountains and seas. I will definitely take you to eat all over the world."

"Come on, I'm not used to foreign food," Du Jie said, and slowly stood up, "Are you hungry? I'll get you a bowl of fried noodles with pickles that I just made recently. This time The taste is very good. You, eat those little Japanese rice, the fish are all raw, I will peel two extra cloves of garlic later to sterilize."

In terms of pursuit, Du Jie may have a hard time in this life, but when it comes to cooking, the old lady is really dexterous. When the delicious noodles with fried sauce are placed in front of her, Wang Ning suddenly feels that she is really greedy. Mom's brand of pickled vegetables, don't look dark, but it tastes very good.

After taking a big bite, Wang Ning raised his head and saw his mother looking at him earnestly. He took another bite of garlic, and the spicy taste surged in his mouth. After swallowing the noodles in his mouth, he grinned at Du Jie. smiled.

One night is enough to think clearly.The next day, Wang Ning made an appointment with Gao Jianfeng and said he wanted to ask him something.

Gao Jianfeng could guess what he wanted to ask, and answered without hesitation.I remember that many years ago, Du Jie begged him not to mention Wang An's matter in front of Wang Ning, and he did so, but now someone insisted on opening the wound that had healed again, so what he should face He had to face it. What he owed Wang Ning might be an explanation or the truth.

However, the truth should not only be told to Wang Ning alone.

The two reporters were unambiguous at all. When they came up, they honestly took out their handhelds and recording pens. Gao Jianfeng on the side watched coolly. Just as he picked up the phone to call the security guards to clear the scene, Wang Ning stepped forward and held him down. .

"Brother, do me a favor, just take it as a record, you don't mind, do you? Anyway, you plan to tell the truth."

Gao Jianfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and Wang Ning was standing in front of him, looking at each other, suddenly there was a sense of confrontation, there were two guys staring at him in front of him, did he really want to say the explanation he owed on this occasion?

But what about confession?The mistakes he made back then, he had confessed to himself and also to Xia Tian, ​​and now he confessed to those irrelevant people who were just going to watch the fun, there was nothing to be afraid of.He doesn't know what it means to be upright and upright, but it is the foundation of his life to be humble and innocent, and it is the last hope left by his mother.

Gao Jianfeng let go of his hand suddenly: "Okay, I know everything, and you can ask if you have anything to say."

Wang Ning nodded and sat opposite him: "I read the post on the Internet. According to the so-called insider's report, you were the one who took the lead in bullying my brother. Is this really true?"

Gao Jianfeng frowned, glanced at the hand that was aimed at him, and then looked away lightly, "It's not true, I am a participant, not a leader."

Wang Ning: "That doesn't seem to make any difference. If you say that, my brother has indeed suffered group bullying?"

Gao Jianfeng nodded silently without hesitation.

Wang Ning: "What about the teacher? Why don't the teachers and the principal of XX Primary School ask? And why don't I remember that these people cared about my brother and other students? Who is that leader?"

"There is no such thing as a leader, everyone is a participant." Gao Jianfeng said frankly, "Collective behavior, the public's consciousness is often chaotic, and whoever does not participate will be isolated. Children aged 8 and 9 lack self-examination. Being able to follow the crazy behavior of standing in line, if you have to make an analogy, like the Nazis, like the Cultural Revolution, the people involved may not agree with their behavior, but because they are afraid of what happens to the victims, they choose to follow the crowd, and I am one of them one."

Wang Ning: "So, the law does not blame the public? Those who bully others are children, but adults have not fulfilled their obligations of management and education, right? Should I hold teachers and schools accountable?"

This topic seems to be a bit off topic, the reporter was keenly aware of it, and hastily interrupted: "So Mr. Gao admitted that he once bullied his classmates. Is the news on the Internet true?"

Gao Jianfeng looked at the two reporters coldly, as if he was looking at a group of scavengers, full of disgust.

"Mr. Gao's silence, does that mean he has admitted it?"

At this moment, Wang Ning suddenly turned his head, "Am I asking or you are asking, are you the family members of the victim?"

The reporter suffocated: "Mr. Wang, we are also here to advocate justice for you and the deceased Mr. Wang An. News interviews are our right."

Wang An sneered: "Really? Are you qualified to be interviewed? Has he agreed to be interviewed?"

What's happening here?The reporter couldn't help but stare blankly at why they suddenly fired an evil fire at them. Fortunately, Wang Ning changed his face very quickly, stood up with a smile, straightened his clothes seriously, and cleared his throat: "I have a few words to say to the camera Say, as a family member of the victim, express your own views on the whole matter, is it okay?"

"Of course, of course." The reporter nodded hastily, and gestured a 1 and 5, silently referring to the final payment of [-].

Just by saying a few words, not only can you show your face, but you can also earn a full [-] in one go.The reporter curled his lips secretly. It is said that this amount is quite a lot. If there is more hype, there may be people who sympathize with Du Jie afterwards and are willing to donate spontaneously.However, under the pressure of public opinion, Gao Jianfeng was afraid to throw a mouse, and he might not dare to retaliate against their mother and son blatantly.

All in all, Wang Ning's family made a fortune this time.

The person who made a lot of money faced the camera at this time with a serious expression: "I am shocked that the incident was dug up after such a long time. Before that, as a younger brother, I really didn't know anything. It’s actually quite ridiculous when you think about it, that an outsider is required to break the news. But after so many years, I’m not completely unaware, because why did I notice it?”

Wang Ning turned around and pointed: "This is the man, Gao Jianfeng. Since I was in the third grade, he has frequently appeared in my life. Not to mention the holidays, he will come to see me and my mother and give things to me at ordinary times. , giving money, one after another, I can’t count how much I have given over the years. He helped me with tutoring, took my mother to see a doctor, from the age of nine to the age of 19, for ten years, uninterruptedly taking care of my mother and my mother. Me. Sometimes, I feel that he is already my family—I lived in a shanty town when I was a child, and the neighbors in the neighborhood never cared so much for our mother and child, and at that time, Gao Jianfeng himself was still a child.”

"You all heard it just now. He admitted that he was involved in the past. But what does that mean? So far, he is the only one who dares to admit it publicly. What about the others? Where are they now? And the so-called revelation Yes, the ghost knows whether you are in the same class or the class next door, hiding behind the computer with malicious intentions, poaching other people's privacy with malicious intentions, do you respect the deceased? If you want to seek justice, why did you go there so early? Don't say you didn't watch the excitement back then Don’t say that your conscience has not been eaten by dogs! What is the real purpose of your post? Is it to uphold justice for your classmates or to think about your own interests, thinking that Gao Jianfeng has developed, and taking advantage of the opportunity is the real intention.”

As he said, he took out an envelope from his pocket, pulled out the money inside, and slapped it directly on the table, "Someone sent it to me, and said that as long as I cooperate, I will get benefits later. Look at these worthless money." Guys who can’t benefit early, I know what you are trying to do. Let me count Gao Jianfeng, there is no door, this person is really kind to my family, I have called him brother for more than ten years, even if there is any grievance , has already been written off.”

The two reporters looked at me and I looked at you, with unbelievable expressions on their faces. One of them quickly turned off his handheld device and asked, "Mr. Wang, what do you mean?"

Wang Ning smiled without saying a word, looking at them half-provocatively.

Another reporter pointed at him and couldn't speak. After a while, he pushed his companion, "Go, go, remove the voice and re-duplicate it. You can still play it later."

"Good idea." Wang Ning snorted coldly.

"Mr. Wang, don't you want..."

"I want it." Wang Ning laughed lazily. "I still have someone's IOU. I owe it in my own name. I can't pay it back."

"You are blackmailing."

"Speak carefully, I can also report you for bribery."

"What exactly do you want?" The reporter was confused by him.

"Simple, just post the video on the Internet intact, as a clarification of the incident, as long as I see that it has not been tampered with, I can tear up the IOU in front of you, and we will settle the matter."

To say this method, it was Xia Tian who came up with it and gave him advice.

When collecting the money, Wang Ning only vaguely thought of leaving evidence, but he didn't figure out how to use it. Later, Xia Tian told him that the platform for clarification is very important, and it is best for the media to announce it themselves, so that they can be seen by the public. There is credibility.

As for the media behind the scenes, Xia Tian has already found out, and then quickly acted, found the editor-in-chief of this media, and asked the other party to suppress this news within a day. The condition promised was that the other party wanted it very much. Yes, the post of Director of Public Affairs Department of Truking Pharmaceuticals.

The media organizations within the system were completely incomparable with pharmaceutical companies at that time.Drug dealers are notoriously extravagant. In 08, the annual salary of a department director could be 30 yuan, not counting the subsidy and reimbursement expenses, and the part of the public relations fee that can be pocketed.The editor-in-chief has been in the news industry for many years, has a wide network of contacts, and has strong public relations skills. With such a price offered by Xia Tian, ​​he is naturally happy to accept it.Immediately, he really followed Xia Tian's request, and quickly suppressed the heat of the incident, and later put the video on the Internet to clarify, and this matter will be considered a perfect ending.

As for the editor-in-chief who is full of utilitarianism, Xia Tian has his own way to deal with it. His two unlucky subordinates have been bullied for no apparent reason. The [-] public relations fee can only be solved out of his own pocket. .

The reporter who was still dreaming of the dream couldn't help being dumbfounded. I don't know if I can reimburse the [-] I lost, and now I have publicly offended Gao Jianfeng. I have nothing to blackmail others. He couldn't tell what he was suffering, and his expression could be described as mournful. He agreed to Wang Ning's request with a few voices, and then ran away without a trace.

The annoying person withdrew, Gao Jianfeng closed the door, exchanged a glance with Wang Ning, relaxed the tense nerves just now, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Wang Ning smiled, but raised his arm and slammed Gao Jianfeng's hand away, "Brother, I'll help you settle the matter, and our accounts should be settled."

Gao Jianfeng's smile faded away, and he frowned, "How do you want to clear it?"

Wang Ning suddenly grabbed him by the collar, "I want to ask you to make compensation, can you afford it? No amount of money can exchange a human life for it."

He gritted his teeth and asked, "Why didn't you say it before? Was it courageous? Or was it because you were afraid of my revenge? Hmm? Why?"

While speaking, his lips were trembling, and the emotions in his eyes were very complicated. There were excitement and indignation, but also resentment and resentment. Gao Jianfeng just remained silent for a long time. In fact, it was meaningless to say anything. At this moment, it would be more enjoyable to fight.

Wang Ning's fist really raised immediately, but his jaw shook even more. He really wanted to ask Gao Jianfeng to make up for it.Money, who doesn't love real money?However, people's hearts are fleshy, and the person in front of him is his brother who he has known for more than ten years. Not to mention asking himself, if he changed places, he felt that he could not reach the level of Gao Jianfeng.

But what made him change his original intention, speaking of it, was the fresh pickles that his mother made that day.

After all, I still can't get used to eating big fish and meat. Wang Ning thought in his heart that the money he earned can only be used steadily.What's more, my mother treats Gao Jianfeng as half of her son, so he can't hurt the old lady's heart.

The fist barely stopped on the side of Gao Jianfeng's side face, but it couldn't fall after a short distance.

Gao Jianfeng stood still, with no intention of breaking free. Of course, he wasn't trembling. He had made a plan in his heart. For Wang An, he could take Wang Ning's punch, but no more.

Besides, he was also betting. The gambling king Ning hesitated again and again, but in the end he couldn't make the move.

——He bet that after so many years, there is friendship and brotherhood between each other.

With a slight sway of his elbow, a gust of wind was blown out of his fist. Gao Jianfeng didn't move or blink, staring at Wang Ning whose eyes were already red.
