Emily tried calling him many times in a row, but she didn't get any answer.
There were several TV sets in each department, and they usually displayed different TV programs. At this time, the news about the earthquake was displayed on each screen. The number of deaths was constantly rising. Those shocking scenes made her even more uneasy.
"Alas, natural disaster is cruel!"
"That's right. In the face of such a natural disaster, human beings are too insignificant! I heard that this aftershock had increased the number of deaths. There were also many soldiers and doctors buried there!"
Hearing the discussion of her colleagues, Emily was more anxious and worried.
When Tina, who returned from the broadcast room, saw that Emily was still sitting in front of the desk, she asked in surprise, "Emily, it's time to get off work. Why haven't you left yet?"
Emily licked her lips and said, "I'm about to leave..."
"Let's go together!" Tina returned to her seat and picked up her backpack. When she saw that Emily was still sitting on the chair, she shouted. "Emily?"
As soon as she shouted, Emily suddenly stood up and rushed to the office of the chiefin-editor. Tina quickly reached out but didn't stop her.
The door of the individual office was pushed open hard, and the glass around it was shaking.
The chief-in-editor who was drinking tea was sacred by her. With his sparse hair raised up, he glared at her and said angrily, "Emily! You have started to teach interns. Why are you still so rude and obtrusive? Can you be more sedate?"
Regardless of his scolding, Emily came straight to the point and said, "Editor, I want to go to the disaster area!"
"You want to go to the disaster area?" The chief-in-editor was surprised.
"Yes!" Emily nodded heavily, trying to find an excuse to persuade him. "Editor, now the whole country is paying attention to the earthquake, and the local TV stations are reporting it one after another. If I go to the front line, I can contribute to reporting the situation in depth!"
Hearing this, the editor pondered for a moment and said, "The report from the disaster area is really enough. The superiors also asked me to send some people to the disaster area, but I have already thought of a good choice! It's not easy to interview in the disaster area. I think that a male reporter with better physical strength is more appropriate. You'd better stay on the station to deal with other news!"
He told the truth objectively, because the conditions and environment of the disaster areas were relatively tough, completely different from the usual news scene. At this time, the advantage of men stood out.
Emily pursed up her mouth and said with stubbornness in her eyes. "But what if I have to go?"
The chief- in- editor scolded. "Don't you understand what I just said?"
Emily gritted her teeth. It seemed that she had made up her mind. "If you don't agree, then I'll... resign!"
"Emily!" The chief-in-editor pounded on the table angrily. He glared at her and said, "Now your are so bold. After doing a few key interviews, you become so arrogant. How dare you threaten me with the resignation!
Since you said you must go, give me an explanation!"
Emily took a deep breath and said slowly, "My husband is there!"
The chief-in-editor was stunned and sat back in his chair. After a few seconds of thinking, he said, "I'll arrange for you to come with the rescue charter tonight. You'll have to prepare food and water for yourself when you arrive. Don't cause any trouble for the people in the disaster area!"
