Chapter 15 Interviews are asking for money
"Lingling"
The phone number of the Liangzhou stationed office of the Northern Metropolis Daily rang, and Li Xia picked up the phone weakly. There was no news at this time, and she was almost growing in her spare time. If this continues, her year-end bonus will be ruined.
"Hey, Northern Metropolis Daily, which... Oh, the world's largest sweet potato... I know... where is your address... OK, thank you, I'll tell you the account later. If the message is accurate, we will transfer the money to your card... Then that's it."
Why!
Now the news is under great control, and it cannot be published that has a significant impact on society. Criminal cases depend on the situation, and entertainment news does not. Otherwise, if you can film "Fengfei Love", you will be published. Unfortunately, this is just a small city in the desert area, and there are no big stars to shoot, so you can only report some trivial matters. The person who just called to report the information said that someone in their town had planted the world's largest sweet potato that had applied for the Guinness World Record. She felt that she was bragging again. She had received such calls several times and went to see it. It was completely different from what was said on the phone. She didn't say it, but she also paid for the round-trip gas money. It was a hard life to be a reporter! I would have known that I would not have studied this major. But I still have to go and see it. What if it was true?
So early the next morning, Li Xia hurriedly drove towards Gulang.
When I arrived at the place, I followed the address given by the whistleblower to a bone massage clinic. A middle-aged man was sitting on a chair to make tea. When he saw her coming, he asked, "Little girl, are you here to interview?"
"Yes." Li Xia was surprised how he knew he was here for an interview, but he nodded and responded without delving into it.
After hearing this, the middle-aged man got up and walked to the door, pointed to the side and said, "If you want to interview, go in from that alley. There is a sign for instructions there. When you walk to the end, there is a door that is where you want to interview."
Li Xia thanked her and hurriedly walked towards the alley.
The middle-aged man is Cai Tianfu. When he saw another reporter coming over, he couldn't help but shake his head. The world is so heartless! What is a sweet potato good for interviews? He really has to be full. He doesn't know that the most people in this world are full and have nothing to do. He likes to watch such trivial and indifferent things, and he also clicks and comments passionately, as if he is an expert.
Following the arrow mark on the sign in the alley with "The World's No. 1 Potato Interview" written on the sign, Li Xia came to the door where Cai Tianfu said, and heard a sound of talking from inside. She thought it must be here, so she wanted to walk in. Suddenly, a strong woman appeared, which scared her.
"Big...Big...Auntie, what do you want to do?" Li Xia was so scared that she was a little incoherent.
"Little girl, you are here for an interview!" Ma Luanfeng said with a smile.
"Uh, how do you know?"
"Of course I know that it was my son who was interviewed. How could I not know?" Ma Luanfeng said proudly.
"Then... the biggest sweet potato in the world was planted by your son?" Li Xia asked with her eyes rolling around.
"Of course, it's not him who else."
"Then... Auntie, can you take me to interview your son?" Li Xia said with a sweet smile that was fascinating.
"Of course." Ma Luanfeng nodded.
After hearing this, Li Xia walked in excitedly. Suddenly, she heard the shouting from behind: "Wait a minute, little girl."
"What's wrong, auntie?" Li Xia turned around and asked strangely.
"It's nothing, girl, I just have to pay for the interview." As he said that, Ma Luanfeng stretched out her hand with an expression of collecting money.
"Pay money?"
Li Xia widened her eyes incredibly. It was ridiculous to pay for interviewing such news. I immediately wanted to turn around and leave, but I thought that she hadn't interviewed anything this month, and if she left like this, she was a little unwilling to accept it. Moreover, if the sweet potato was really the largest sweet potato in the world that applied for the Guinness World Record, it would undoubtedly be a piece of news that can be put on the page. With this news, maybe her year-end bonus will be paid.
After thinking about it, Li Xia asked, "Auntie, how much does it cost?"
Ma Luanfeng raised five fingers.
Fifty is not very expensive, so Li Xia took out a fifty piece from her wallet and handed it to Ma Luanfeng.
Unexpectedly, Ma Luanfeng didn't pick him up, just said, "Five hundred."
Li Xia felt that this strong country woman in front of her, who looked a bit like a cow and a pig, was crazy about money? She interviewed them to promote them. She didn't charge them money, but she wanted to give her five hundred, who was this person? Immediately, she wanted to turn around and leave. But she thought she hadn't interviewed any valuable news this month. If it was really the world's largest sweet potato that applied for the Guinness World Record, it was undoubtedly a news that could be on the page. With this news, she might have a year-end bonus.
The editor has already made a statement. If you can't deliver any useful news, let alone the year-end bonus, you will even lose all the bonuses and benefits for the next month. That's a life-threatening thing!
Ma Luanfeng seemed to see her hesitation and said, "Little girl, five hundred is not expensive. Think about it, we farmers have worked hard for almost a year to grow such a big sweet potato. Now the sweet potato is not valuable. If we don't lend you the opportunity to interview, how can we live our lives? Girl, these five hundred are really worth the money. What you interviewed is not just a big sweet potato, but two, they are a pair of male and female. After the interview, we will also give you some sweet potatoes to try. One is at least three pounds, you will definitely not lose money, little girl..."
When Li Xia heard what she said, why did she feel like she bought a bucket of oil and got a bottle of soy sauce in the supermarket?
However, thinking about the hard work of farmers in farming, it was reasonable to take the opportunity to collect some money to subsidize the income on the land. After listening to Ma Luanfeng's explanation, she even felt that spending 500 yuan to go in for an interview was worth the money. In the end, somehow, she took out the money in a confused manner and walked in with her.
When she came inside, she saw several reporters taking photos by a man holding a big sweet potato. The sweet potato was really big.
There were many people interviewing, some were still queuing up. Ma Luanfeng took a stool for Li Xia and sat there, and then ran to the corner with the money and counted happily.
The more you count, the happier you were, and your eyes were almost gone. She felt that her son's head was really useful. She wondered if the chickens in her family would be kept and not killed. When she grew up, she would apply for a world record of angering you and then ask someone to come over for an interview and collect money.
Not to mention whether she can earn money from the chickens she raises at that time, anyway, Cai Hongming and his father will no longer have to eat the chickens raised at home for the next period of time.
