Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 400 As expected of the uncrowned king!

At the end of the interview, after laughing at each other, Cai Ling suddenly turned serious, hoping to have a chat with Cao Zhiqiang alone.

After the others left and only Cai Ling and Cao Zhiqiang were left in the office, Cai Ling suddenly smiled wryly: "President Cao, you can't do this interview!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang became strange. He thought that Cai Ling wanted to chat with him alone because she had a personal matter, such as borrowing money, but he didn't expect it to be an interview.

"Why not?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

Cai Ling sighed, "President Cao..."

"Hey!" Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand suddenly, "Whether it's the president or not, it's just called on occasions. In private, since we're all friends, you can call me Qiangzi, and I'll call you Sister Ling." , how are you?"

Cai Ling froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "I dare not."

"There's no reason to dare." Cao Zhiqiang said with a chuckle, "Whoever we are with whom, let's just leave it at that, okay?"

"Sure." Cai Ling smiled and nodded, "Qiang Zi."

"Hey, sister Ling!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded with a smile.

Cai Ling shook her head again with a wry smile, and then said sternly: "Speaking of business, this interview is really not good, why don't we do it again, this time I will write a new manuscript, and during the interview, you will read it strictly according to the manuscript I wrote, okay?" ?”

"Why?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned.

Cai Ling sighed: "You really don't know if you don't know? What you said before, why set a small goal of 100 million in order to make money and prove yourself, this is completely crooked!"

After exhaling, Cai Ling suddenly said: "Hey, you're pretty cool, what's the matter?"

Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "What else could it be? I have an air conditioner here."

Yes, his office is also equipped with window air conditioners, of course it is cool.

"Wow, is there an air conditioner in the office?" Cai Ling opened her mouth wide, "You are so rich, you really know how to enjoy it."

Cao Zhiqiang chuckled again: "I don't just install air-conditioning here, the vice president's office, but also the editorial department, administrative department, security department, etc. Places with a lot of people are all equipped with air-conditioning."

Yes, Cao Zhiqiang bought a batch of air conditioners before, most of them were installed here, and the rest were installed in the houses he bought.

For example, the place where his two younger sisters live, the courtyard house where Wu Qinghong lives, the courtyard where Hao Shuwen lives, and the place where Yu Yuanyuan lives, all have air conditioners.

It can be said that as long as it is a person who follows him, whether it is a woman or a subordinate, he will take special care of him. Installing air conditioners is just one of the various good treatment.

"No wonder you are so cool." Cai Ling nodded, "It turns out that they are all equipped with air conditioners. You are really generous, and you are really willing to spend money."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "In the hot summer, the temperature rises, and the air conditioner is not only something to enjoy, but also something to improve efficiency.

You think, if there is no air conditioner, it will be as hot as a steamer here, how can everyone have the heart to work hard?
On the contrary, I have installed air conditioners everywhere here, so that everyone is cool and calm, so they will naturally be able to work hard.

Even, because there is air conditioning here, they are willing to automatically stay and work overtime, and they are not willing to go back, which adds to my working hours.

So, although I spent a lot of money to buy an air conditioner, overall, from the perspective of improving work efficiency, I still made money, right? "

Cai Ling chuckled: "You are talking like a capitalist."

Cao Zhiqiang also followed suit with a smile: "The capitalists are the capitalists. As long as the benefits are real, everyone will naturally know how to choose."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang said: "Let's not talk about this, let's get back to the point. Why did I say crooked ways in the previous interview? What's wrong with what I said?"

Cai Ling, who was looking around, sighed: "What else can it be, what you said is completely contrary to the current mainstream thinking.

Now everyone is talking about dedication, sacrifice, serving the people, obeying the collective, the four modernizations, and more importantly, serving the motherland.

It's good for you, you talk about making money, but keep your mouth shut to make money, and the sacred college entrance examination, in your mouth, has become a way to prove your talent, and you don't see the seriousness at all.

Even the reason why you don't fill out the college application is a little bit dismissive and looks down on the college.

That's all, the key is that you still belittle personal struggle, highlight the importance of talent, and tell everyone explicitly and secretly that hard work is useless, and you can't do anything without talent.

You, none of these three views of yours is normal, it’s fine to talk about it in private, if you really publish it, you will cause big trouble.

No, I might not be able to post it. My editor-in-chief will get stuck on what you said, and it is impossible for it to be published in the newspaper! "

Cao Zhiqiang frowned upon hearing this, and then nodded knowingly.

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang nodding, Cai Ling immediately complained, "I didn't mean you, Cao She... no, Qiangzi.

Did I tell you about my interview earlier?

And I asked you to prepare for the answer a long time ago, but you prepared for a long time, so you just give me this?
You, the content of your interviews are completely wrong, I can't do business at all! "

Hearing Cai Ling's complaint, Cao Zhiqiang curled his lips, but he still didn't retort, just nodded silently.

Indeed, Cai Ling had told him the content of the interview before, and Cao Zhiqiang already knew what questions to ask.

This is equivalent to showing you the test paper before the test so that you can prepare the answers in advance.

Normally speaking, Cao Zhiqiang should follow these questions and give some answers that fit the main theme of this period.

For example, when he took the college entrance examination, he turned his prodigal son back and proved himself.

Another example is that he was able to become the No. [-] student in the college entrance examination because he studied hard and his head hangs over the beam.

Or, when he volunteered for the college entrance examination, he didn't fill in the name of the university, not for money, but to devote himself to socialist construction, willing to be a screw.

Anyway, it's right to say whatever you want.

Cao Zhiqiang understands it, but once he is really asked, he can't help it, he can't control his mouth.

"I also know that you are doing it for my own good." Cao Zhiqiang smiled wryly, "But let me tell lies against my conscience, I, I can't tell."

Cai Ling sighed: "How about this, I'll write a manuscript for you, with questions and answers, and then I'll erase the previous recording and record it again.

When the time comes, we'll just read the script, and you'll be dubbing someone else, right? "

Cao Zhiqiang asked, "Is this possible?"

"Why not?" Cai Ling glared at Cao Zhiqiang, "It must be done!"

Immediately afterwards, Cai Ling pouted and said, "You know, your previous interview draft must have failed, but you are the top student in liberal arts in the college entrance examination, so you must have interviews and be published in newspapers, otherwise it is not suitable.

If we don't publish it for you, then we can only let other media come.

For example, People's Daily, if they come to interview you, your speeches will not pass, and you have to follow their ideas. "

"What if I insist on not cooperating?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned.

Cai Ling was taken aback, then sighed: "Qiangzi, you are a smart person, why do you say such things? You also made a fortune in writing, and when you were robbed before, you also took advantage of me and our newspaper office.

That being the case, you should know the power of newspaper media.

We can lift you up and we can throw you down.

If you cooperate obediently, everyone will naturally be happy to praise you and praise you.

But if you insist on going your own way and singing a naysayer, it's easy to step you down.

Not everyone is like me and likes to praise you.

In fact, many people are willing to step on people, especially a genius like you, many people actually like to step on people.

So, Qiangzi, listen to what my sister says, don't be rebellious and sing a different tune at this time.

Following the trend is your way of survival!

Could it be that, do you think that everything you have worked so hard to build will collapse in an instant?

Don't forget, whether it's your position as the president, your title as a poet, or your status as a singer, the premise is that you meet everyone's expectations.

Once you get a bad reputation and don't meet everyone's expectations, all of your identities will disappear.

In our country, a person's reputation is very important. Once you have a bad reputation, there is nothing left.

At that time, your poems, your books, and your songs, everything you have, will all be blocked.

You can only continue to be a worker in the workshop honestly, and you can no longer scold Fang Qiu like you are now.

Can you understand what I said? "

"Hey!" Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have taken the college entrance examination. Even if I did, it wouldn't be such a good thing. It's such a hassle."

Cai Ling chuckled: "Look at what you said, in fact, even if you didn't take the college entrance examination and didn't have such good grades, with your reputation today, sooner or later you will be interviewed.

It’s okay for me to interview you, and we can still discuss things well.

If someone who doesn't know you well interviews you and you offend them again, that's trouble.

Don't you know that journalists must never be offended? "

Cao Zhiqiang laughed at himself: "That's true. I almost forgot about this. Journalists are the uncrowned kings of this era, so you can't offend them."

"Hahaha." Cai Ling covered her mouth with her hands and smiled, "The so-called uncrowned king is a capitalist term, we can't do that."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Actually, they are almost the same. Anyway, we can't offend them."

"Well said." Cai Ling giggled, "Then I, the uncrowned king, came to you, do you want to do me something?"

"Of course." Cao Zhiqiang also chuckled, "As long as I have a relationship between the two of us, just open your mouth."

"It's really loud." Cai Ling shook her head, "Forget it, after this matter is over, just treat me to a meal."

Speaking of this, Cai Ling said sternly: "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's start now while there is still time."

"Start?" Cao Zhiqiang was taken aback, "Start what?"

"Of course it's a new interview." Cai Ling took out a pen and paper from her backpack and said, "You're doing well, I'll write the interview with you.

Anyway, it doesn't need to be too complicated, I will write it in a question-and-answer format like a script.

At that time, you only need to read the manuscript and go through the process with me. If there is such a recording, I can hand in the job.

As for the interview draft that will appear in the newspaper, I will figure it out for myself. What do you think? "

Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "Since you have said so, it has no choice but to be like this."

Next, in order for Cai Ling to write the manuscript better, Cao Zhiqiang deliberately gave up his office seat, let Cai Ling sit in his boss chair, and write on the boss's desk.

As for Cao Zhiqiang himself, he drank soda and read newspapers slowly on the sofa diagonally opposite.

Well, Cao Zhiqiang has been a little busy recently, and he didn't have time to read the newspaper properly. Now is the right time.

He has a special shelf for books and newspapers here, and every day someone puts the latest newspapers and magazines on the market here.

Of course, the publishing house's flagship product "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes" is naturally also in the ranks of the books and newspapers.

In this way, Cao Zhiqiang can read books and newspapers here in his spare time.

In addition, behind his desk, there is a whole wall of bookshelves, which are filled with various tomes, which seem to have a special impact.

In fact, although the books on the bookshelf behind him are real and not just book covers, they are basically decorations, just a background.

The books in it are all supplementary, and Cao Zhiqiang usually doesn't take them out to read.

But don’t tell me, it’s really imposing to build a bookshelf that covers the entire wall and is full of books behind the desk. When people come in, they feel the fragrance of books, and feel that the people here have a unique culture and a unique level. .

In this period, not everyone pays attention to using bookshelves full of books as the background, so Cao Zhiqiang's move is very bluffing.

But in fact, anyone who is familiar with Cao Zhiqiang knows that he seldom reads books, at least not very much the books on the background wall behind him.

On the contrary, Cao Zhiqiang likes to read newspapers and magazines.

He likes to read big newspapers such as People's Daily and Peking Youth Daily, as well as popular magazines such as popular movies and story clubs.

Time just passed by minute by minute.

Although Cao Zhiqiang was laid back, Cai Ling was engrossed, but the people outside, especially the male photographer Cai Ling brought, seemed a little anxious.

That's right, the lonely man and the widow are living in the same room, and after staying for such a long time, it's inevitable that they will be a little worried, even if it's not a couple relationship.

"Can I go in and take a look?" The male photographer asked Xu Jingli again, "They've been inside for almost three hours, and they're going to get off work soon, so, can I go in and take a look?"

"Sorry." Xu Jingli smiled and shook her head, "The president said not to disturb, I can't let you in until they finish talking."

After a pause, Xu Jingli smiled again: "I know you are worried about Reporter Cai, but don't worry, although our president is young, he is sincere and responsible, and will not do anything beyond the rules.

Besides, if you don't trust our president, you should trust reporter Cai, right?

If there was a problem, reporter Cai would have yelled, and she couldn't be stopped here. "

Hearing this, the male photographer sighed and sat down again: "I'm either worried about this, or I'm leaving get off work soon, I want to go back early, and the house is waiting for me to go back and cook.

Reporter Cai didn't come out for a long time, didn't it delay my get off work. "

Hearing what the male photographer said, Xu Jingli was stunned for a moment, then smiled again and said: "But it's useless to be anxious, just wait a little longer, maybe it will be all right soon."

The male photographer nodded and sighed again.

Well, actually Xu Jingli was right.

While she was comforting the male photographer outside, Cai Ling had already written her interview draft and handed it to Cao Zhiqiang for reading.

Cao Zhiqiang picked it up and looked at it, good guy, it is really concise and to the point, and it has a very main theme.

For example, when talking about Cao Zhiqiang's past, Cai Ling simply said that Cao Zhiqiang was young and ignorant, thinking that studying was useless, so he didn't like studying, which led to him dropping out of high school.

But after his mother passed away, he suddenly came to his senses, so although he had already gone to work in the factory, he still studied hard every day, and seized every minute and every second, even eating and shitting, studying and doing questions, just wanting to take the college entrance examination one day , to comfort the mother's spirit in heaven.

And this leads to why Cao Zhiqiang took the college entrance examination.

That's right, according to Cai Ling, Cao Zhiqiang took the college entrance examination not only to prove himself, but also to comfort his mother's spirit in heaven, and to make up for the guilt of not being filial.

In this way, the image of a prodigal son who has come to his senses, changed his past, and turned his back on money, is vividly on paper.

At the same time, it also explained why Cao Zhiqiang took the college entrance examination and why he scored well in the college entrance examination, because he worked harder than others and had different motivations.

Most of the goals of other people's college entrance examinations are to have a good future, and they are forced to study.

The goal of Cao Zhiqiang's participation in the college entrance examination is to prove himself, and to comfort his parents in the spirit of heaven, he is to take the initiative to study.

After that, he learned and learned, but gradually enjoyed it.

This motivation is different, which means that it perfectly fits the concept that diligent scholars are not as good as good scholars, and good scholars are not as good as happy scholars.

In addition, Cao Zhiqiang obviously did well in the pre-examination, and he was very confident, but he did not write the name of any university when he filled out the application. Determined to work hard "Dong predecessors.

He wants to be like that senior Dong, after proving his ability and consoling his parents, he will give up the opportunity to go to college to others, and he will continue to work hard in the factory, serve the motherland and society with practical actions.

He also wants to use this method to tell everyone that going to college is not the only way out for young intellectuals.

On the contrary, study hard, work hard, respond to the call of the country, devote himself to socialist economic construction as soon as possible, and contribute to the motherland. This is what he really wants to do.

Once done in this way, the intention will instantly become taller.

In other words, according to Cai Ling, Cao Zhiqiang did not want to go to college but did not fill in the application form. It was not because he did not want to go to college, nor did he look down on those college students, but because he was already a working person.

Therefore, he does not want to compete with other students, but leaves the opportunity to others, and he himself is willing to return to the factory as a worker, continue to do his own work, and use practical actions to create a socialist economy. force.

Anyway, the whole content of the article is all about praise. After reading this manuscript, you will be moved by Cao Zhiqiang's lofty beliefs.

After all, these days, going to college is something that many people envy.

Cao Zhiqiang has excellent grades and can go to university, but he is willing to give up the opportunity to go to university for the sake of the construction of the motherland and leave the place to others. In this period, this is still a very noble spirit.

"It's just a little silly." Cao Zhiqiang curled his lips while looking at the manuscript, "And Sister Ling, you have written me so lofty, so selfless and noble. In today's society, will anyone really believe me?"

"Why not?" Cai Ling smiled slightly.

"If I were writing about someone in their 20s or even 30s, no one would believe it, but you are different.

Don't forget, you are only 19 years old! "

Cao Zhiqiang who was holding the manuscript was stunned for a moment, then smiled:
"That's right, I'm only 19 years old, young must be innocent enough.

Hehe, you are worthy of being a reporter, you are worthy of being an uncrowned king! "
