The Era of Hard Work

  Chapter 23 Prize Collection

   Nike male Du Xiaobing chose the nearby Chunjiang Hotel. There were not many people in the hotel. The three of them changed several tables in a row before finding a place to sit.

  Because this solid wood table has not been repaired for a long time, it shakes violently.

   Each took turns to wash their hands and came back, Fang Yan sat alone on one side of the table, Du Xiaobing and Lu Dong sat on the other side.

  Du Xiaobing saw that no one came to say hello, so he shouted to the front desk: "Waiter, order."

   A response sounded: "Come over and get the menu yourself."

  Du Xiaobing was helpless, so he went to get the menu, and asked Lu Dong and Fang Yan to order.

   The three were polite, and after ordering the dishes, Du Xiaobing shouted again: "Waiter..."

   Before he finished speaking, a voice from the kitchen rang: "What do you order, bring the menu here."

   As if Du Xiaobing were the waiters, they were the customers.

  Since he chose this place for his guests, Du Xiaobing couldn't change the place, so he sent the menu back, and brought back chopsticks, teacups and teapots along the way.

   This posture is very obvious. If you don’t get it, no one will send it over.

   "The state-run restaurant is really uncle." Du Xiaobing poured water for Lu Dong and Fang Yan: "I won't come to the state-run restaurant to eat in the future."

  Fang Yan pushed down the black-rimmed glasses: "Chunjiang is quite good, the service of Bianchifang, look at people through nostrils..."

  Bianchifang is a well-known time-honored brand in Quannan, which specializes in pot stickers.

   What is more famous than pot stickers is service.

  Du Xiaobing added: "The Evening News complained to the state-run time-honored brand some time ago, calling for more meals at the state-run time-honored brand, so that the time-honored brand should not disappear. That's it? It's better to disappear."

   Fang Yan saw that Lu Dong didn't speak, so he was ignored, and asked: "Lu Dong, you said you were a student at the police station just now?"

   Lu Dong answered: "Graduate, go to school."

  Du Xiaobing followed and asked, "Second year of high school? How was the exam?"

   Lu Dong said directly: "Let's not talk about the college entrance examination."

  Du Xiaobing is a sports student and understands the pain of study: "It's not a big deal, I can't study either, I go to university with sports."

   Lu Dong was curious: "Are you practicing Sanda at the Sports Academy?"

   "Basketball practitioners are average, at most a PE teacher." Du Xiaobing laughed at himself and asked, "Why do you think I practice Sanda?"

   Lu Dong gestured: "You are very good at fighting in the car, and you can kick down two thieves with one kick."

Du Xiaobing said embarrassedly: "Don't mention it. Brother, if you didn't carry a terrific biochemical weapon today, I would have been killed. It's okay to hit one, but two are enough. You didn't listen to the police, and the short man found it in his pocket. Switchblade, I'm really scared."

  Fang Yan was surprised: "Are you afraid? You still do it."

  Du Xiaobing said: "I can't even grab my wallet with my hands in my pockets. I just watch?"

  Fang Yan thought of some rumors: "A lot of people just watched their wallets being robbed."

  Du Xiaobing patted Lu Dong on the shoulder: "Everyone can stand up like you, brother, and pickpockets won't be as arrogant as they are today."

   Fang Yan looked at Lu Dong, first reminded her, and then helped Du Xiaobing, this guy is really good.

  So, she had an idea.

   "Lu Dong, Du Xiaobing." Fang Yan tentatively said: "You know, I am a reporter for the Evening News, a social current affairs column. I want to write a report on today's affairs and see it in the newspaper."

   "Okay!" Du Xiaobing was very happy.

   Lu Dong did not respond for the time being.

  The dish arrived, and the waiter finally had a bit of professionalism, so he didn't let himself go to the kitchen to serve the dish.

   "Talk while you eat." Du Xiaobing greeted.

  Chunjiang is still a relatively authentic Shandong cuisine restaurant. Although the service quality is better than nothing, the taste of the dishes is okay.

   The three drank a cup of Jianlibao together, Fang Yan reminded: "Pickpockets often commit crimes in gangs, so don't take that bus recently."

   Lu Dong replied, "Understood."

  Du Xiaobing was impulsive, but he wasn't out of his mind: "I rarely take the bus, so I don't take it at all." He was interested in what Fang Yan just said: "Can I see the newspaper? Can I see the newspaper?"

   "It's not difficult." Fang Yan looked at Lu Dong, this young man was much calmer than Du Xiaobing: "Lu Dong, how about you?"

  Lu Dong thought for a while and said, "I have no opinion, can I change my name?"

  Du Xiaobing hurriedly said, "Why use a pseudonym!"

Fang Yan glanced at him, Du Xiaobing smiled and shut up, Fang Yan said, "When I was at the police station, I had an idea that bus pickpockets are getting more and more serious and unscrupulous. I want to combine today's events and write a special report, which will arouse more attention. Many people are paying attention, Lu Dong, you are the key to my report."

  Du Xiaobing put down his chopsticks and couldn't help it again: "I'm also the key!"

   "It's different." Fang Yan started from an objective standpoint: "You are the victim, and you are protecting your own rights and interests. Lu Dong belongs to the righteousness and courage."

   She said seriously: "A true role model can awaken more people."

  Du Xiaobing worried for Lu Dong: "Brother, this is a good opportunity to appear in the newspaper!"

  Fang Yan looked at Lu Dong with anticipation in her eyes. Judging from the limited contact, he was an honest and honest young man with the spirit of drawing a knife to help in a critical moment.

  As for caterpillars and leeches, they are pets and means of subsistence, which can also prove that the young man is self-reliant and self-reliant.

  Lu Dong took a bite, raised his head, saw the small red mole on Fang Yan's chin, and asked, "Are you paid?"

   Fang Yan's anticipation turned into surprise.

  Du Xiaobing's face was puzzled: "Brother, what are you thinking? This is the newspaper, the evening news! It's a rare opportunity!"

   Lu Dong smiled: "I don't think about anything, life."

  Fang Yan's surprise flashed by, but looking at the Nike on Du Xiaobing's body, and then looking at Lu Dong's inferior jersey, he instantly understood.

   She is also from the countryside.

   Lu Dong could see that Du Xiaobing was well-intentioned, but according to different classes of life, his needs and demands were naturally different.

   "Reporter Fang, don't the newspapers have prizes for collecting news?" Lu Dong asked.

  Fang Yan thinks she understands Lu Dong: "I am one of the participants, so I can only fight for it." She repeats her old words: "Lu Dong, this matter has very positive social significance."

   Lu Dong waved his hand: "I like to do good deeds without leaving my name."

  Du Xiaobing was surprised: "Then what do you ask for the reward?"

   Lu Dong can see that this guy has always been temperamental and is not embarrassed. He picked up the cup and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you today, I respect you both."

   Fang Yan picked up the cup and took a sip of Jianlibao, feeling more and more that this young man was different from what she thought.

  As a reporter, there is a kind of stubbornness that will not give up until the goal is achieved, and said to Lu Dong that Fang Yan decided that whether Lu Dong agreed or not, she would push this matter to appear in the newspaper.

   Of course, it is not easy to pass the trial because it involves all aspects such as public transportation and police stations.

Du Xiaobing was very enthusiastic. He specially left a pager number for Lu Dong and Fang Yan, and told Lu Dong that the Physical Education College would move to the newly built university town in September. A place for bugs.

  Fang Yan left a cell phone number for the two of them, and also asked for Lu Dong's contact address, so that they can be contacted if there is anything.

  Du Xiaobing went to checkout, Fang Yan thought of the two heavy words of life, and said to Lv Dong: "I am in charge of social current affairs. If you have news clues, you can call me, and there will be prizes to collect."

  Lü Dong looked at the business card and really thought of one thing.

   But Du Xiaobing is still there, so it's hard to say.

   After paying the bill, the three of them left the Chunjiang Hotel. Du Xiaobing was going to do some errands, so he left first.

  Fang Yan is also ready to leave, the newspaper office is still a mess.

   Lu Dong stopped her: "Reporter Fang, I met something strange two days ago. I can't figure it out. Can you help the staff? See if it's newsworthy?"

  Fang Yan glanced at the figure of Du Xiaobing leaving, and realized something, pointed to the front: "Go over there to chat."

   The sidewalk in front was obviously widened. Under the lush Fatong tree, there was a round stone table and four stone stools around it. Because it was hot at noon, there would be no one there.

   Came to the stone table, Fang Yan took out a tissue, gave one to Lu Dong, and wiped the stool with another, then sat down: "What's the matter?"

   Through some contact during dinner, she no longer regarded Lu Dong as an ordinary teenager.

Lu Dong pondered the content, and said with a choice: "A few days ago, when I was fishing, I took a small dish from the river and sold it at the Shunshan Cultural Market. When I came across an antique auction company that offered free appraisal, I would I went in and took a look. They said that the dish is worth 350,000 yuan, but it needs to pay 2,000 yuan for the up-front operation fee before going to the auction..."

   Hearing this, Fang Yan first thought that Lu Dong was lucky to be able to meet antiques while fishing, and then realized what was wrong.

   Apart from the 1,000 yuan he earned from selling the small white porcelain plate, Lu Dong will describe what he saw and heard in the Chia Tai Art Auction Company in general.

   As for earning money from a liar, and then selling the liar to earn a news reward, Lu Dong has no psychological burden.

   Lu Chun said that the best way is to expose the media to prevent more people from being fooled.

  Lu Dongxin said: I am doing good deeds!

  Fang Yan didn't understand this industry, so she thought carefully: "I read relevant reports in Taidong Weekly, and I also discussed with my colleagues who has a baby. Listening to you, it seems a bit wrong, what's wrong?"

   In the future, this may not be a subtle scam, but in this day and age, it is enough to confuse most people.

   "Why didn't you pay?" Fang Yan asked.

Lu Dong didn't pay the money to make money, of course, but he couldn't say that. He scratched his head and said, "I'm suspicious and have little knowledge. I just thought, pay the money, they will find a place and pay some money to hire some. I can't tell the difference if people hold a fake auction, and the money will be paid in vain if the things cannot be sold."

  Fang Yan is a reporter after all. Hearing this, he immediately thought of the key point: "You said that many people are queuing up for appraisal. If it is a scam, each of them will cheat thousands of dollars. Is this still good?"

   Lu Dong specially added: "Qingzhao's rural conditions are not bad, my family may earn two or three thousand yuan a year."

  Fang Yan lightly clasped the stone table with her fingers, disregarding the dust on it: "Lu Dong, this is not right! Take me to see the company tomorrow."

   Lu Dong quickly refused: "No, no, I have something to do, and I want to sell something. What if I show my face there, and then I get caught and pay for it? They're right next to the used book market, so it's easy to find."

"According to what you said, so many people could be fooled. How many families can be saved by exposing them?" Fang Yan gradually grasped a bit of Lu Dong's characteristics: "If the scam is true and it can be reported, I will apply to the newspaper for a major award for you! "

Lu Dong wanted to ask how much the big prize was, but considering the risks involved, he endured it and said, "You are a big reporter, you have a lot of energy, and you have a wide range of people. Porcelain bowls, you will know when you go to the identification."

   He was ready to withdraw, and finally reminded: "Don't forget, this is a news clue I provided, and there are rewards for reporting!"

   Before going back, Lv Dong went to the industrial and commercial bank near the East Outer Ring to open a card, and the whole amount of the money sold today was deposited into it.

   He also asked, there are ATMs in Quannan County, and it is convenient to withdraw money.

   For collection! Ask for a recommendation ticket! Ask for support!

(Forgetting 1996 or 1997, when I was young and ignorant, I just came out of the village, my father took them to eat Jinan’s time-honored brand, the food was delicious, and the experience was very strange. The waiters in the city restaurants were fiercer than those from the Family Planning Commission. …)
