nightcrawler in los angeles

Chapter 33 WJLA-TV
WJLA-TV is Channel 7 of ABC, although its ratings are not so ideal.

But when Tao Xi came in for the first time in an environment full of leaders in suits and stockings and short skirts, Tao Xi was a little dazzled for a while. Gerry Lively looked at Tao Xi's outfit and his unique There was a smell of sewers, and Gerry Lively looked around again at the way his former colleagues walked around the two of them.

Gerry Lively patted his forehead with his left hand helplessly and said with emotion: "I forgot the most important thing."

Tao Xi's big eyes flickered around and replied absent-mindedly, "What is it?"

"Black jacket! Brand new clothes, it's over, it's over, I'll just say I forgot something." Gerry Lively kept repeating these words with annoyed expression.

But how could Tao Xi care about these things!
His two black eyeballs have been staring at those beautifully dressed girls ever since he entered the 7th floor, for fear that if he doesn't pay attention, he might miss something.

Gerry Lively didn't mind seeing Tao Xi like this, although Tao Xi is the godson of the blood gang, a typical rising star of the gang~
But he doesn't have any mafia demeanor on him. You must know that Gerry Lively is also a man who stayed in Prison 86. Prison 86 is the largest blood gang gathering place in Los Angeles after Compton. He has never seen what kind of people there, but anyone with a little power outside the prison can't wait to raise their tails to the sky~
Look at Tao Xi again, simplicity and no bad intentions are what Gerry Lively said about him.

As for the others, Gerry Lively doesn't know yet, but in the next time, Gerry Lively can get to know him better!
"Hey! Gerry, are you out? Hahahaha, long time no see."

"Gerry, Gerry, Gerry, look at your ugly face, why are you here to hug your things?"

"Gerry, is that your father's illegitimate child outside?"

Tao Xi looked at that since Gerry Lively entered a house named [Editing Room], Tao Xi found that the entire [Editing Room] seemed to know Gerry Lively, and the relationship between these people Seems a bit complicated with Gerry Lively?

Tao Xi didn't know how to describe it. It was a sarcasm, but everyone in Gerry Lively would go up and make fun of them.

Say it's comfort and say hello, but what each of them said is very mean!

Yes, it’s mean, and Tao Xi learned this word from a couple in Chinatown: “Your colleagues don’t seem to be very friendly to you.”

Gerry Lively led Taoxi to a messy workstation and nodded: "Yes, it may be a professional habit. I treated them like this before, and many people in the editorial room are official reporters. , what they are best at is to ask you questions from various tricky angles."

Tao Xi looked at the workstation in front of him, which was probably Gerry Lively, and couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "Your workstation is not as good as my bed."

"Haha, after I went to prison, this dismissal letter was placed on my desk." Gerry Lively explained with a wry smile. As for the word Taoxi on the dismissal letter, he didn't read it carefully. But Tao Xi saw the final compensation, and after dismissing Gerry Lively, he will be properly compensated.

Gerry Lively, who was carrying the personal belongings box, went to register, but before that, he arranged Tao Xi to sit at his previous station. Tao Xi sat on the soft bench and kept talking. Feel the feeling of urban white-collar workers on the smooth and flat desktop~
"Hey bro, is Gerry your brother?"

Just as Tao Xi turned his head, he saw a girl who was not very outstanding, but at a sudden glance, a rich girl was standing beside Tao Xi. The scent all over her body made Tao Xi sneezed several times.

"Sorry, I have some allergies to pollen."

Emily Dunn frowned and sniffed her wrist, muttering softly, "It shouldn't be, mine smells like violets."

Tao Xi looked down at this girl who was not at the top of the WJLA-TV level and didn't say much.

In order not to cause trouble to others, Tao Xi sat in his seat blankly and kept thinking about whether his younger brother Hill could work here after graduating from university.

As for Marco and him, Tao Xi never thought that they could work in this environment.

Emily Dunn looked at Tao Xi's stupid and quiet face and couldn't help muttering: "Is this the Nightcrawler that Gerry wants to introduce to me? It doesn't look like it! Why not Is he a tall, tall, and handsome boy?"

When Gerry Lively saw Emily Dunn looking around with a nympho expression on her face, he couldn't help but sighed: "Emily, this is Taoxi, I'll give you Introducing Nightcrawler."

After Emily Dunn saw that his former partner had actually introduced a child to her, Emily Dunn, who covered her mouth and didn't know what to say, pointed at Tao Xi in feigned surprise.

Seeing the strange expression on Emily Dunn's face, Tao Xi was neither angry nor out of touch. Instead, he stretched out his hand generously: "Hi, I'm Tao Xi, a Rwandan citizen, a sojourner living in Los Angeles nightcrawlers."

"Gerry, I'm not a great newsgatherer, but I don't think someone this young will be."

"No, no, Emily, your ability to develop nightcrawlers and informants is recognized as the worst in the entire WJLA-TV. If I didn't have a problem and was fired this time, I believe you will go ahead of me. And don't always judge everyone's ability by appearance, trust me! You will be grateful for your cooperation!" Gerry Lively directly interrupted Emily's next speech, Gerry Lively After finishing these words, he took the initiative to reach into Emily's purse and took out a business card, put it in Tao Xi's hand and explained to Tao Xi: "She has known me for a long time, and she also The only investigative reporter I can rest assured that I will not embezzle the fruits of your labor, because her work ability is really poor, and she is also a reporter wearing fake luxury clothes. If you are more handsome, she can put her every month Your wages will be given to you."

Tao Xi looked at the [Investigative Reporter Emily Dunn] with three bars behind her head and was about to ask, Gerry Lively explained directly: "The worst investigative reporter, if she If there is no news thread this month, she will be fired!"

Gerry Lively, who had finished speaking, didn't say a word of extra words to Emily Dunn, so he took Tao Xi and walked outside.

Emily Dunn followed closely behind the two of them and kept yelling: "Gerry, I didn't promise him to receive his news, let me tell you, you'd better respect me, even though I'm A third-level investigative reporter, but I."

Gerry Lively, who came to the elevator, wanted to leave quickly like hiding from the plague god, but Tao Xi broke free from Gerry Lively's hand and stopped, staring at Emily Dunn very seriously. His eyes said: "Don't look down on me! You believe in me, I will let you."

At this moment, the elevator door suddenly opened with a "ding"~
At the beginning, the two Explorer employees who built the elevator with Tao Xi and others happened to be inside. Tao Xi saw the two employees inside and pushed away WJLA who was trying to recruit these two Explorer employees at the elevator entrance. -The TV staff grabbed the young explorer employee who talked a lot at the beginning and came to Emily Dunn.

This action of Tausi surprised Gerry Lively! ! !
"he is great!"

"But I'm stronger than him!"

In order not to let the young man talk too much, Tao Xi directly locked the neck of the explorer employee with his 16-year-old left arm and pointed to his head to explain to Emily Dunn.

But the WJLA-TV staff who were pushed away by Tao Xi and the rest of the people standing at the elevator entrance were stunned.

Gerry Lively stood at the entrance of the elevator and jumped up and down anxiously, not knowing how to dissuade Tao Xi, but Emily Dunn watched what happened before her with her mouth open.

Standing in the elevator and just stepping out, another explorer employee was about to try to pull Taoxi away, but he suddenly felt that he was pushed on a stone. Not only did Taoxi not move, but he was also flinched by the reaction force.

"you"

"I hope we have a good cooperation." Tao Xi didn't wait for Emily Dunn's left hand to do something, Tao Xi took the initiative to hold Emily Dunn's left hand and shook it as a handshake.

After all this was done, Tao Xi let go of the explorer staff who jumped out of the elevator just now, patted his hands in disdain, and then pulled Gerry Lively into the elevator.

"Cough, cough, cough~" The extraordinarily defiant explorer employee blushed and coughed continuously, covering his mouth with his hands, he looked extremely painful, another explorer employee stared at Tao Xi fiercely but I dare not say a word.

Tao Xi watched the elevator door close immediately, and shouted dissatisfiedly at the two Explorer employees standing at the elevator entrance on the 7th floor: "Are you two waiting for me to invite you? Why don't you come in and take the elevator?" Want to walk downstairs?"

"Cough cough cough! You cough cough"

Seeing that the two of them didn't respond, Tao Xi was about to step out of the elevator again, when another explorer employee pulled his coughing colleague into the elevator with a jolt.

The atmosphere in the elevator was very strange, but Emily Dunn, who was at the elevator entrance on the 7th floor just now, whispered when she saw the elevator descended to the 5th floor: "He is so manly!"

"Emily! I will definitely complain to the editor-in-chief that you delayed my recruitment of explorers." The girl who was pushed away by Tao Xi just now said feigned anger.

Emily Dunn, however, was not afraid of the girl's righteous reply: "Go! Go and lick that news clue collection agency like a dog every day. Don't forget, you are a reporter! If you let the station If I know how you treat those vultures with this attitude, you're as good as me!"

The few people around glanced at Tao Xi who had already disappeared at the elevator entrance with lingering fear, and then glanced at Emily Dunn, who was full of love, and left after discussing~
Gerry Lively, who was walking on the street, turned his head, glanced cautiously at Tao Xi who had a calm face, hesitated for a long time before saying, "Did you just go too far?"

"Uncle Bolton said that sometimes language explanations are too simple, and you should use your own strength to speak appropriately."

When Tao Xi said the three words [Bolton], Gerry Lively swallowed all the rest of the words as if he had eaten expired food in his mouth.

"Don't you think that moment just now was very cool? You actually don't like that group of people very much, but why did you run away? Since you want to teach me, you should help me with everything without reservation." After solving it, if that woman doesn't accept my news next time, won't I lose money?"

When Gerry Lively heard Tao Xi's list of questions, he quickly answered: "It's really cool, but sometimes the solution to the problem doesn't have to be so extreme, and Emily is a nympho, she just talks She talks so much, but she is still very professional in serious matters, and don't you want to have an investigative reporter on TV who listens to you very much? It will be much more convenient for you to do things this way."

As soon as Tao Xi heard Gerry Lively say this: "Oh! Then I understand, just like Uncle Bolton, although he is in prison, but Uncle Kushner still listens to Uncle Bolton in the Blood Gang, where Cooperate outside and break through one by one! Okay, I will thank you very much."

Tao Xi, who had a particularly clear mind, made Gerry Lively somewhat at a loss as to how to answer.

The two of them remained silent for a long time, and finally Gerry Lively said, "Why don't we shoot some material tonight, and I'll walk you through the process. In fact, the work of Nightcrawler is very simple. It's nothing more than shooting It's just a video."

"Wow, if I knew it was so simple, I wouldn't have worked so hard at the beginning. In order to photograph Adnan, Marko and I squatted in the trading market for a week."

Gerry Lively sighed helplessly when he heard Tao Xi talking about his last incident: "Brother, you are in the detective business, why didn't you say how much money you made that time? The contracting fee of the West family is enough to make an ordinary night walker envious for a long time."

Tao Xi didn't know what Gerry Lively was saying in his heart, but he held the [police recorder] in his hand seriously and listened to the information inside.

"This code is a car accident! This is very simple, and the message can probably be sold for about $100."

"This code is also a car accident! This, this code is theft, if it is stolen from a white person, it can be sold for $150."

"This, this 211A has been repeated many times in it, why don't you tell me?" Tao Xi asked, tilting his head and staring at Gerry Lively seriously.

"This is a robbery! And it's happening now, we don't need to go to this kind of occasion for the first time, he is very dangerous, and my car"

Tao Xi didn't wait for Gerry Lively to finish speaking, he patted his thigh directly, stood up and said energetically, "Okay, that's it!"
