Rebirth: I Want to Surf

Chaoyang used to be an agricultural area, the vegetable basket of the capital.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, many factories were built, and it became an industrial zone. It was still called Dongjiao at that time, and it was called Dongjiao Industrial Zone.

After the reform and opening up, the capital city boundary was expanded and re-planned, and some bonsai-style buildings began to be built in Chaoyang, such as Guomao and Lufthansa.

After that, Chaoyang continued to develop, and finally developed into an urban-rural fringe area in 2001, with high-rise buildings, factories, and rural bungalows. The central business district is breaking ground, and there are all kinds of strange things.

There is a boundary in the East Third Ring Road of Chaoyang, called Baijiazhuang, and there is a road in Baijiazhuang called Yaojiayuan Road.

That's right, Yaojiayuan.

From Yaojiayuan Road to the south, you can enter an area mixed with office buildings and residential buildings. The average price of residential buildings after 20 years is 78,000.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Yao Yuan was standing under the 29th floor of the Beijing Youth Daily.

He stood for a long time before stepping into the gate, seeing a wall glowing red, and a reception desk glowing red, with white letters on the wall: Capital Youth Daily!

There are book and newspaper columns on both sides, which are full of past newspapers and periodicals.

Compared with the small northeastern town, the atmosphere here suddenly became tense, and the people coming and going were busy. Many people held today's newspapers in their hands, talking about news and pictures, and complaining that their manuscripts were rated too low.

The income of a reporter is a basic salary, and then how much a manuscript costs, corresponding to different ratings, the higher the rating, the more money.

Yao Yuan ignored the front desk, and found the elevator familiarly. After waiting for a while, when the elevator door opened, Wu Yangyang squeezed out a group of old men and women wearing little red hats, and forced him to hold his feet.

A woman shouted at the top of her voice: "I have remembered all the precautions I just said. Now arrange for everyone to go to the medical examination, then have a free breakfast, and then listen to the lectures of the experts..."

"This motherfucker's comfort zone!"

Why!

The familiar environment gave Yao Yuan a strong sense of security. Don't think that the newspaper office is so high-ranking. As long as it can make money and not break the law, it can do anything.

Sometimes they break the law.

For example, he has handled a manuscript of a negative event on a certain shopping platform. After communication, the other party spent 400,000 yuan to press the manuscript.

Yao Yuan went upstairs, first went to the general office and waited for a while. After the group of interns gathered together, a director came to Balabala to give a lecture, probably because of the glorious history of the newspaper.

"Beijing Youth Daily" belongs to the Youth League Committee of the Capital City. It has developed from a tabloid newspaper in the 1980s to one of the best major newspapers. Not to mention the quality of news, its management ability is very good.

The newspaper has packaged its advertising, printing, website and other businesses and established a media company, which is considering listing in Hong Kong.

Yao Yuan knew that the company went public in 2004, and one of its shareholders was MIH in South Africa. Yes, it was the one that invested in QQ.

"The newspaper office has multiple departments such as news, editorial, distribution, hotline, website, etc. In principle, you should stay in each department for at least a week, but your internship time is different, depending on the specific situation."

"The most important thing everyone cares about is going out for interviews. Don't worry, I will definitely give you the opportunity to interview. You can mention it at any time. If you say I like local news, then go to the local news department. If you say I like entertainment news, then go to the entertainment news department. Ministry, we didn't mandate..."

After this person was forced, the arrangements began. Four interns, Yao Yuan and a girl named Liu Weiwei were assigned to the hotline department.

There is a special room in the hotline department, which is filled with small grids. The director is surnamed Song, kind-hearted, and Barabara said:

"We are responsible for answering the hotline calls, recording the clues and the contact information of the other party, and then assigning them to reporters by the director of the editorial department. It can be said that we are the first frontier of news."

"This year the newspaper has created a platform system that needs to be typed with a computer. Of course, you are young people, so you will definitely be able to use it. I can't do it anymore. I'm still used to using pen and paper..."

The iron-clad newspaper office and the interns in the water are all superficially polite, but in fact no one takes you seriously.

Liu Weiwei wears glasses and looks plain. She looks like a college student who doesn't know much about the world, and she is nervous to the naked eye.

Then when she turned her head, she saw that guy first took out the paper and pen from the bag, and then took out a large water glass like a cannon barrel, a small plastic bag, twisted some high debris out of the plastic bag, and drank a cup of hot water , came back and sat down, leaned back.

There are four big characters written all over his face: I want to fish!

And Yao Yuan looked at her, and suddenly stretched out his hand: "Hello!"

"Uh, hello!"

"You have a nice voice."

"Uh, thanks!"

"I'm not being polite. Your voice is delicate and soft. Many people must like it."

"..."

Liu Weiwei frowned, what is this person doing?

She ignored it, put on her earphones and started to work. "Beijing Youth Daily" is a big newspaper, and it makes a lot of phone calls, and this thing has rewards. It provides a clue to the newspaper. There are several grades of 30 yuan, 50 yuan, and 80 yuan. .

This also gave birth to a profession: the informant.

Liu Weiwei answered every call carefully, for fear of missing a word, and I don't know how long it took until her ears hurt a little before taking a break.

Then a voice came from the side:

"How old are you?"

"I'm 69!"

"Ouch, bullying a 69-year-old comrade is so fucked!"

"Aren't you fucking crazy? Damn it, just don't give up your seat to me, and return the hands of Mahler Gobi, where did the stinky shit come from? Don't even look where this is, the capital is not a place for you to run wild!"

"Then did you fight back?"

"Fuck me, can I fight back? I'm a civilized person who is so paralyzed, I don't have the same knowledge as you!"

"Hey, your realm is high!"

"Really? Some people are of poor quality, and they lose their status by scolding the street with you."

"You're right to think so. What's so bad about winning the Olympic bid? Calm down."

"It's okay, it's very comfortable to chat with you!"

"It's enough to be comfortable, serving the people is our purpose."

"See you later!"

"See you!"

Yao Yuan hung up the phone, looked at Liu Weiwei who was stunned, and shrugged: "Close to the crowd!"

I believe you ghost!

It was the first day Liu Weiwei knew him, but this man seemed to have a natural familiarity, very casual. She shook her head and continued to answer the hotline seriously.

In contrast, Yao Yuan is indeed fishing.

I chatted all morning, had a meal in the cafeteria at noon, and continued fishing in the afternoon until I was about to get off work when I answered another phone call.

"Excuse me, is it the Beijing Youth Daily?"

"Yes, what news thread do you have?"

"I passed the Yansha Bridge last night, which is the area next to the embassy area. I was walking hard, and suddenly a woman came and grabbed me and said, brother, let's play, it's cheap..."

"Wait, wait, wait!"

If you say this, I won't be sleepy!

Yao Yuan quickly opened the notebook and picked up the pen: "You continue."

"Anyway, they are standing on the street, you know? I have encountered them before, and I don't pay much attention to them, but this one is next to the embassy area. There are many foreigners. The influence is too bad. I hope you can expose it."

"Okay, I'll provide it to our reporter, thanks for the call."

Yao Yuan asked for the specific address, first recorded it in the notebook, and then entered it into the platform.

Look how good it is!

If there are more clues like this that I like to hear, I can collect materials.

(Ga more slowly...)
