Rebirth of financial migrant workers

Chapter 290 Wenda Investigative Reporter

"So last night you ran into 314 and cried?"

Wang Chunliang's question made the landlady a little embarrassed. She lowered her head slightly and explained in a low voice:
"Originally in the evening, I went to 314 to clean the room, but I couldn't help but call my brother in the middle of the night. No one answered the call. Then I heard in a hurry that there was someone on your side. When the door opened, I was ready to come out and apologize to you, but I didn't expect you to close the door first."

Hey, it's late at night, why don't you turn on the lights when you're cleaning the house?

Oh, I remembered, the chandelier in 314 was broken.

"So you contacted your brother today? Is he okay?"

"Well, in the morning, he took the initiative to return my call."

At this time, a cell phone ringing interrupted the boss lady's words. She stared at the phone screen, her pupils shrank, her face turned visibly white, and then she pressed the answer button in a panic.

"Oh how much?! I don't have that much. Can I wait for a few days if I don't have that much?"

Although Wang Chunliang didn't know what was said on the other side of the phone, he could tell from the words of the landlady that the topic was not very friendly.

In less than two minutes, the other party hung up the phone.

The landlady still kept holding up the phone, and her eyes became dull again.

After a while, she finally put down her phone, buried her face deep in her arms, and started sobbing again.

The eldest lady opened the bag, took out a tissue and handed it to the landlady.

Wang Chunliang asked further:
"Is the caller your brother's creditor?"

The landlady took the tissue and replied while wiping her tears:

"Yes, yes, I called to collect the debt, saying that my brother's loan will be due the day after tomorrow. But I just used my savings to renovate the 'Happy House', and I can't afford such a large sum of money at a time. money”

"How much is the repayment amount?"

"Five, fifty thousand."

"How can your brother, a student, borrow so much?"

A female voice came from the door of the restaurant, and immediately after, the animal protection girl walked in wearing sunglasses.

She walked straight to the dining table and took the seat between Wang Chunliang and the landlady.

The landlady was at a loss at this moment, and she didn't care about making the family scandal public, so she answered honestly:
"I don't know. When I asked my brother yesterday how much he borrowed, he didn't want to tell me. It was a lot of money. And the person who called said he had an IOU in his hand, and it was signed by my brother in black and white. If they don't pay back the money, they will give the IOU to the school leaders, which will ruin my brother's future."

"Don't get excited. Your brother is a student. If it were a regular bank, he would not be lent money. As for other lending institutions including private individuals, the proportion of the principal to the repayment amount is not high. I estimate that the actual repayment should be The amount is far less than 50,000 yuan."

The animal protection girl directly interrupted Wang Chunliang's words and said in a very definite tone:

"Of course it's not a bank loan, this is a variation of the popular small loans and loan sharks!"

Seeing that the eyes of several people present were focused on her, the animal protection girl puffed up her not-so-rich breasts and said proudly:

"I came to Yun Province this time just to investigate this matter!"

Wang Chunliang narrowed his eyes. Unexpectedly, this animal rights activist seemed to have another important identity, economic investigation? Or a researcher from the People's Bank of China?

They don't look alike. Could it be another unknown charity organization?
Facing Wang Chunliang's questioning eyes, the animal protection girl was a little annoyed.

She took off her sunglasses, put her face in front of the other person, raised her right hand and pointed at herself, as if she said, "You know who I am?" However, the expressions of several people present were still blank, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Finally, Wang Chunliang broke the silence:
"Ahem, I've always wanted to ask you, why are you still wearing sunglasses at night? I originally thought you would be an 18th-tier starlet, wearing sunglasses on purpose to show off your popularity. But, with all due respect, your face, I I really haven’t seen it before, why don’t you introduce yourself?”

The animal protection girl was very unwilling to hear this. She muttered, "My hairstyle has been changed, so I won't be easily recognized." She raised her hands and fiddled with her hair.

After she tied up her long shawl hair, she looked at Wang Chunliang again:
"You should recognize it now, right?"

"Oh~ I don't recognize it."

"Humph, I am, Wen Chuxin!"

"Ok?"

The animal protection girl rubbed her head helplessly. For the first time, she had doubts about her popularity. She couldn't pretend that the people in front of her didn't recognize her.

She took a deep breath and tried to keep her tone calm:
"Have you watched the Imperial Financial Channel? There is a flagship program called "Today's Focus"."

Wang Chunliang narrowed his eyes and thought about it carefully for a long time. It seemed that he had watched half of this program in his previous life, and nodded.

"I, Wen Chuxin, am the frontline ace reporter of this program, the one who is often on camera."

"Oh~ I'm a big reporter~"

Wen Chuxin straightened her waist again, puffed out her not-so-rich chest, and proudly corrected:

"Don't call me a great reporter, please call me the last investigative reporter in the Flower Country."

Wang Chunliang was in awe when he heard the words 'investigative reporter'.

While reporters are annoying most of the time, investigative reporters are respected.

Regardless of their personal safety, they devote themselves to the front lines of various major news events and conduct the most realistic on-site reports.

This kind of behavior often leads to retaliation from all sides. For example, Li Xiang, the investigative reporter who exposed the gutter oil incident, was stabbed 11 times and died.
It is precisely because the career of an investigative journalist is fraught with danger that fewer and fewer people are pursuing this profession.

Due to pressure from their families and superiors, many people who have backgrounds as investigative journalists have turned to the extremely safe office of office reporters and become keyboard warriors one after another.

Faced with this situation, every investigative reporter who is still alive will laugh at himself as 'the last investigative reporter in the flower country'.

However, Wang Chunliang took another look at Wen Chuxin and felt that this girl, who was fashionably dressed, had a pretty face, but had a bit of a brain, was far different from the image of an investigative reporter in his impression, so he couldn't help but ask. :
"Oh, that investigative reporter, why did you come to Shuanglang to hijack the dog cart? This doesn't seem to have anything to do with finance, right?"

His question immediately put an end to Wen Chuxin's arrogance. The other party's face turned red and he coughed tactically:
"Ahem, I happened to be in Shuanglang to do some work. When I saw the friends in the group asking for help, I just wanted to help."

After that, without giving the other party a chance to continue to criticize, Wen Chuxin turned his attention to the door of the restaurant.

She waved, and a thin and small girl with glasses ran over obediently.

Before Wen Chuxin could speak, the girl with glasses opened her backpack and put the business card holder into her hand.

Wen Chuxin took out a business card and handed it to the proprietress to show the authenticity of her identity.

After the other party completed the inspection, she continued:
"To tell you the truth, I came to Shuanglang this time precisely because of these small loan matters!"
