Chapter 22 The First Time (1)
When Yu Jian went out to interview for the first time with the dialect, he suddenly remembered that the police checked his temporary residence permit yesterday...

When Yu Jian went out to interview for the first time with Dialect, he suddenly remembered that the temporary residence permit was checked by the police yesterday, and an idea suddenly came to his mind to write about the living conditions of migrant workers in the city.So during lunch, he proposed this idea to Dialect.The dialect thought it was a common entry point, and it was nothing new, and there had been similar reports in the media before.Yu Jian also said: "We can interview from the perspective of low-level migrant workers, and I think there will be new things."

"Then talk to the director."

Back at the newspaper office in the afternoon, Yu Jian found Wang Daqing, the director of the special topic department, and talked about his own views.Wang Daqing also feels the same as the dialect - the subject matter is too old.

"We do special topics, and each report is three or four thousand words—a whole page, if it can't attract readers' attention, it will affect our circulation; if there is a problem with the newspaper's circulation, it will Affect our advertisements. You are learning Chinese, and now you must have the keenness to understand the society and understand the people's sentiments, but I will consider your ideas."

When Yu Jian came out of the director's office, he felt a little disappointed. After all, this was the first topic he had found.For the whole afternoon, Yu Jian felt a little dazed and listless for doing anything.But when he was about to get off work, Wang Daqing suddenly came to him and looked at Yu Jian meaningfully.

"Did you read today's evening paper?"

Yu Jian shook his head and said, "No."

"Look." As he spoke, Wang Daqing handed Yu Jian an evening newspaper of the day.The headline on the front page of the Evening News was: "Focus on Migrant Workers to Build a Harmonious Society." The article reported on the experience of migrant workers from other places begging for wages in Beijing.

After Yu Jian read the report, Fang Yan also picked up the newspaper.At this time, Wang Daqing patted Yu Jian on the shoulder and said, "I thought about it again. Although this topic is a little old, if you do an in-depth interview, there is still room for digging." Wang Daqing turned around Going forward, he said to Fang Yan, "I think you and Yu Jian can have an in-depth discussion and conduct interviews in areas where migrant workers live more concentratedly. But hurry up, I decided to publish your manuscript in this week's newspaper. Work hard!"

Yu Jian was naturally delighted.

Back at the residence at night, Yu Jian found Mei Yihan's car as soon as he walked into the community.He turned his head quickly and walked out of the community.He came to eat in a restaurant not far from the community, and deliberately procrastinated for a long time. When he felt that Mei Yihan should leave, he walked out of the restaurant.At this time, it was already dark, and the lights in the community were turned on.When he walked into the community, he found that Mei Yihan's car had already left, and he smiled at the parking lot—a contemptuous smile.

When he came to the room, he took out some materials from the newspaper about migrant workers entering the city, and just after he sat down, someone pushed the door open.

"You eat dinner yet?"

Yu Jian turned his head to look, and Mei Yihan walked in with a smile on his face.Yu Jian could see that Mei Yihan had specially dressed up today, and even put on heavy makeup.

"Want to have dinner with you, but I've been waiting for you for a long time. Is work going well?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Why, I'm not welcome? Don't be like this, Jian, I rented a house in this community today, it's on this building, do you want to go up and have a look?"

"baffling!"

"Why, you don't like it?" Mei Yihan walked behind Yu Jian while talking, "I feel that it's too hard for you to live in this kind of place, and young people like you should learn to enjoy it."

"What else do you want to say?"

"Would you like to come up with me and have a look, I even made your favorite sweet and sour fish for you!"

"You are bothered."

"As long as you like it. How about it, do you want to go up and have a look?"

Yu Jian raised his head and smiled at Mei Yihan.

"Of course!"

"Then let's go."

It was a three-bedroom apartment of more than 130 square meters.As soon as he entered the living room, Mei Yihan introduced the layout of the entire living room to Yu Jian.Yu Jian followed Mei Yihan around absent-mindedly.When they returned to the living room again, Mei Yihan sat on the sofa very excitedly and asked, "Do you like it?"

Yu Jian asked back: "What if you like it, and what if you don't like it?"

"If you like it, I will give it to you."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy it."

"You should enjoy it! Don't you want to use your meager salary to build such a perfect home after you have wasted your youth? At that time, will you still have time to enjoy the fun that life brings you?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Su Lei also has a house. Although it's not as big as this house and doesn't have such luxurious decorations, I feel very happy."

"I know Jian is a very ambitious man, he will not use women's money to meet his own needs."

"So I don't need your luxury."

"No, no, I'm looking for happiness for you."

"I'm very happy now."

"Is it in the basement?"

"is it not OK?"

"Stop talking about this, let's eat! I remember that you haven't eaten the dishes I made for a long time!"

"I've eaten."

"Really, do you want to have some supper with me?"

"No need, it's still early!"

"Then let's talk."

"Do you know why I came here with you?"

Mei Yihan shook his head.

"I'm terrified of being overheard arguing in the basement."

"Oh, so it is, but we didn't quarrel."

"Don't be delusional!"

"What am I delusional about?"

"You know it in your heart!"

"I do not know."

"I'm not going to follow you like I used to—not, not at all!"

"I didn't want to make you go back to the way you were before."

"I'm going to marry Su Lei soon."

"I congratulate you."

"Thank you, then I'll go first, I hope you won't appear in my sight again in the future."

"Wait!"

"what?"

"You just left?"

"Why not?"

"You haven't eaten the sweet and sour fish yet!"

"I also forgot to tell you, ever since I became acquainted with vegetarians, I vowed never to eat sweet and sour fish in my life again!"

"are you talking about me?"

"You've entered menopause."

"You must have learned a lot during this time, let's hear it."

"I don't want to talk nonsense with you. I just want to tell you, don't bother me in the future!"

……

When the Spring Festival approached, Su Lei returned to Beijing. Due to the arrangement of the exhibition in the south, the unit had a holiday early. At that time, Yu Jian had already completed his first special report in the newspaper office—"Temporary Residence Permit, Identity of a Foreigner?" Once this report was published, it aroused strong repercussions in the society, especially among the "North Drifters" and migrant workers from other places.For this reason, Wang Daqing, the director of the Special Topics Department, sent reporters from three different groups to conduct interviews in places where foreigners are more concentrated, and this time the focus is on interviewing "Northern drifters" who have already achieved success in Beijing.Some of them said that although they already have a Beijing household registration, they don’t think they are a Beijinger. This is because they only came to Beijing to pursue their dreams, not to become Beijingers. Beijing is just a paradise to realize their ideals. .Although some people do not have Beijing Hukou, they have lived in Beijing for more than ten years and have regarded this land as their hometown.There are also some people who regard Beijing as their second hometown. When talking about their understanding of Beijing, they think that Beijing is still helpful for their career, ideal and reality. If they did not come to Beijing, they would not have the present everything.Some dream-seeking young people who have just come to Beijing said bluntly: "I came to Beijing to earn money. I don't have many opportunities at home, and it is difficult to find a job that suits me-I came to Beijing to earn more money!" Of course, there are some The "North Drifters" came to Beijing to realize their dreams. These people have a certain cultural foundation and economic background.Most of them still dream of obtaining Beijing Hukou one day in the future, especially those urban dream seekers who are married or about to get married. Their desire for Hukou is unbelievable.

This series of reports laid a solid foundation for Yu Jian's work in the newspaper office, and also won a reputation for the feature department.And when Yu Jian went to the construction site for interviews, the migrant workers he interviewed would kindly introduce to his fellow workers, "This is the reporter who wrote the temporary residence permit." The idea of ​​the lowest level of people's subject matter also won Wang Daqing's appreciation.
