Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

Chapter 398 There is someone like you in this world!

Although he was copying songs, because the songs he copied were all good songs, and he knew that these were all for future fame and small money, Cao Zhiqiang enjoyed it and did not feel hard at all.

Copying and copying, writing and writing, before I knew it, it was time for the interview.

Since Xiang Dongfang, Cao Zhiqiang's personal secretary, is not here, the ones hosting the interviewers this time are Chen Jiabang, the vice president, and Xu Jingli, one of the only college students in the entire publishing house!

In fact, even if Xiang Dongfang is here, Chen Jiabang will come and watch.

After all, in terms of interview experience, Chen Jiabang, who has been the secretary to the factory director for more than ten years, has more experience.

Chen Jiabang knows very well what can and cannot be said, what can and cannot be spoken.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang must have this experienced former factory director’s secretary accompany him during this interview.

As for Xu Jingli, she is a service staff, doing some work such as serving tea and pouring water.

Originally, if Xiang Dongfang was here, then this job should belong to Xiang Dongfang.

But since Xiang Dongfang is not here, Xu Jingli will naturally have to do this job.

After all, Xu Jingli is a famous college student and good-looking. It would not be an insult to the interviewers of the Peking Youth Daily to have her come here to provide services.

In addition, Xu Jingli has just been transferred and has now become Chen Jiabang's personal secretary.

Since he is Chen Jiabang's personal secretary, it is quite normal for Xu Jingli to appear here with Chen Jiabang.

This job transfer appointment was just announced this afternoon, and it is said that it was proposed by Chen Jiabang himself.

After all, Chen Jiabang is also the vice president of the publishing house. He can decide on the relocation of an intern at a single word.

At most, just tell Cao Zhiqiang before or after.

Theoretically, Cao Zhiqiang can of course veto Chen Jiabang's appointment, but generally speaking, Cao Zhiqiang will not go against Chen Jiabang.

In particular, Cao Zhiqiang didn't think it was a big deal to transfer Xu Jingli to be Chen Jiabang's personal secretary.

After all, Xu Jingli is a female college student and good-looking. What's wrong with Chen Jiabang asking her to be his secretary?

Even he, Cao Zhiqiang, transferred Xiang Dongfang as his secretary. Why not ask the vice president to transfer Xu Jingli as his personal secretary?

Moreover, Cao Zhiqiang also felt that Xu Jingli was more suitable for the position of deputy president and secretary than helping people with chores at the magazine.

People like Xu Jingli have too many ideas and dare to speak and act. It is best to place them next to Chen Jiabang, a mature and prudent person, rather than directly to the editorial department, so that they are less likely to make mistakes.

Otherwise, if she is wrong in some way and contains personal information in the manuscript of the Confidant Magazine, and if she accidentally publishes it and something happens, it will be very bad.

Even if this is not the case, if she constantly argues with Yu Deli and others and insists on engaging in realistic literature and scar literature, if she really persuades a group of responders, it will be even more serious.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang felt that it was a good thing to let Xu Jingli be Chen Jiabang's secretary.

In fact, even if Chen Jiabang doesn't mention it, Cao Zhiqiang himself will make this suggestion after a while.

Now that Chen Jiabang has proposed it himself, it is just what he wants, and Cao Zhiqiang has no reason to object.

Soon, under the guidance of Chen Jiabang and Xu Jingli, Cai Ling, a reporter from the Peking Youth Daily, and a photographer she brought along came in.

Needless to say Cai Ling, the two parties are already "old friends" who have collaborated many times.

Even Cao Zhiqiang knew the photographer. He was the young man who didn't like to talk during the interview in the ward.

Of course, this photographer does not take videos, but takes photos, so one person is enough.

"Oh, Reporter Cai, you are finally here."

After meeting, Cao Zhiqiang immediately shook hands with Cai Ling and said hello with a smile.

"I miss you so much!"

"President Cao made fun of you." Cai Ling also smiled and nodded and shook hands, "I already have a partner."

Speaking of this, Cai Ling pouted at the expressionless male photographer.

"Ah?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, looked at the expressionless male photographer, and then quickly let go.

After laughing sarcastically, Cao Zhiqiang quickly said to the male photographer: "I'm sorry, I was rude. I just saw an old friend coming and I was very happy. There was nothing else. Don't get me wrong. Don't get me wrong."

"

The expressionless male photographer smiled and then gently shook his head at Cao Zhiqiang: "Don't get me wrong, Lingzi and I have nothing to do with each other, we are just ordinary colleagues."

Cai Ling blinked and then chuckled: "Yes, President Cao, we are just ordinary colleagues. I was joking with you just now."

"Haha." Cao Zhiqiang looked at the male photographer, then at Cai Ling, and laughed, "It turned out to be a joke, hehe, hehehe.

But to be honest, I think you two are a perfect match, do you really want to consider getting together?"

"President Cao, please don't mess with things." Cai Ling said with a smile, "I'm already married, and my sister-in-law and I have a good relationship!"

"Ah, that's it." Cao Zhiqiang chuckled.

Cai Ling smiled and shook her head: "Okay, the joke is over, let's get down to business.

To be honest, President Cao, when I saw the name of the top scorer in the college entrance examination that I was asked to interview, I couldn't believe it was you. It wasn't until I was sure it was you that I really believed it was you."

Immediately afterwards, Cai Ling gave Cao Zhiqiang a wry smile: "So, President Cao, you really don't show your face. It's hard to hide it from me."

"Hahaha." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "Reporter Cai, I have never wanted to hide the fact that I took the college entrance examination. If you insist on telling me, it's just because you didn't ask me."

"That's true." Cai Ling nodded, "But normally, who would have thought that you, a high school dropout and already working, would take the college entrance examination and become the top scorer in the college entrance examination all of a sudden? This is simply, I

I don’t even know what to say to you."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Is this an interview?"

"Of course not." Cai Ling shook her head and sighed, "It's just a sigh as a friend. After all, I know a little about your experience. Because I know a little about you, I feel more and more that you are really too much."

A legend, so different."

Cao Zhiqiang laughed: "Thank you."

"No, it's not an award at all." Cai Ling suddenly said seriously, "In fact, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed that there were people like you in the world!"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and did not answer.

Noticing Cao Zhiqiang's smiling face, Cai Ling also smiled slightly: "By the way, President Cao, after all, I should be considered your friend, right?"

"Yes, of course." Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, "Reporter Cai, although we have not known each other for a long time, we have worked together many times and had a great conversation. I have already regarded you as an old friend."

Cai Ling smiled slightly: "Since we are old friends, why don't you let me stand all the time? Don't you invite me to sit down?"

"Hey, look at me!" Cao Zhiqiang slapped his forehead and pointed to the sofa next to him, "Come on, come on, sit down, sit down and chat."

Soon, Cao Zhiqiang and Cai Ling sat on the sofa together, but the photographer Cai Ling brought with her refused to sit down and said he wanted to take pictures.

As for Chen Jiabang and the secretary he brought, they did not sit down and stood aside.

The reason is very simple. This interview is mainly for Cao Zhiqiang. It would be inappropriate for Chen Jiabang to sit down with him.

His purpose here is to check for omissions and prevent Cao Zhiqiang from saying the wrong thing. It is not to become famous.

As for Chen Jiabang's secretary Xu Jingli, of course she couldn't sit there, so she just stood aside and watched.

After Cao Zhiqiang and Cai Ling sat across from each other, Cai Ling suddenly straightened her face, put the portable recorder she was carrying on the coffee table, and took out a pen and notebook: "President Cao, without further ado, let's get started now?"

"

"Okay." Cao Zhiqiang nodded with a smile, changed into a comfortable sitting position, and officially entered the state.

Only then did Cai Ling smile slightly. She first turned on the recording button of the recorder, and then started to formally interview Cao Zhiqiang based on the interview outline in her notebook.

The so-called interview actually mainly consists of asking three questions.

First, ask about Cao Zhiqiang’s past experience, especially his past education and work experience.

Secondly, why can I do so well in the exam through self-study? Is there any special learning method?

Finally, when he filled out his college entrance examination application, why didn't he write the name of any university?

That's right, the core content of this interview is these three aspects, and the rest are all improvised.

Since Cao Zhiqiang and Cai Ling have known each other for a long time and are both friends, Cao Zhiqiang has known the content of these interviews in advance and has already prepared them, so when they are actually asked, he can naturally talk about them.

You may need to ask, since you already know the content of the interview in advance, and it’s not a video recording, it’s just a written interview, why bother with it? Is it so formal?

Wouldn’t it be enough to chat privately and write an interview script yourself?

Of course that won't work.

During this period, formal interviews with major newspapers generally required on-site photography and on-site recording.

In other words, during a formal interview, there cannot be only one reporter present, but at least two reporters must be present.

At the same time, as the main reporter, Cai Ling not only had to take notes in a notebook, but also turned on the tape recorder to record the entire interview. When she returned, she would use the recording as an aid to write down the interview.

Otherwise, if you just rely on your own ears to listen and remember in your head, there will inevitably be omissions in the interview content.

At the same time, the recording is also evidence, and it needs to be listened to by the editor-in-chief and others, and after use, it basically needs to be archived.

In other words, even if it is just a written interview published in a newspaper, there still needs to be a live recording during the formal interview, so it must be more formal.

After all, the recording content must be archived!

Of course, it makes no difference to Cao Zhiqiang whether it is a formal interview or not, whether it is recorded or not.

Anyway, the results are there, he just needs to tell some stories that everyone can understand or like to hear.

To put it bluntly, the so-called interview is nothing more than telling a story, telling a story that everyone likes to hear. The truth is not important.

Sure enough, when they actually started talking, Cao Zhiqiang quickly talked about his past with great emotion.

For example, when talking about his past experience, especially when he was still in school, he directly said that his grades during school were not outstanding. His academic performance in the class was always at the bottom of the class, and he was a proper student.

scum.

You must admit this kind of thing and take the initiative to speak out. After all, this is your previous experience before time travel.

In my previous life, I was a scumbag who was ignorant and had no skills. My academic performance was obvious to all and well documented, so it would be best to happily admit that I was a scumbag in the past.

Not only did Cao Zhiqiang say that he had been a bad student for a long time, he also took the initiative to say that he often skipped classes because he didn't like studying, so he was voluntarily dropped out of school when he was a freshman in high school.

The so-called "active" means that he stopped going to school on his own before he was expelled from school. Therefore, he dropped out of school on his own initiative and did not count as dropping out.

This is also normal, because during this period, unless the student makes a major mistake, the school will generally not easily punish the student with expulsion. The main reason is that one more thing is worse than one less thing.

That is to say, when Cao Zhiqiang talked about the past, he quickly outlined the image of himself as a bad boy who was ignorant and unskilled.

This is like suppressing one's desire to advance first, indicating that he was worse than most people in the past, even worse.

Immediately afterwards, there was a turning point, otherwise there would be no way to smooth things over.

So next, Cao Zhiqiang told the story of how his mother died suddenly, he lost his family, and his source of livelihood. He was so disappointed and despairing that he wanted to commit suicide. After all, he failed to die.

He hanged himself but did not die. Instead, he had a profound enlightenment before dying and understood the true meaning of life.

After that, he changed his ways. He first went to work in the factory where his mother worked, and then studied while working. At the same time, he also wrote articles for various magazines, hoping to earn some royalties to supplement his family's income.

Of course, writing manuscripts is not only to supplement family income, but also to overcome the fear and anxiety in my heart and strengthen my confidence in living.

Death is easy, but life is difficult.

In his opinion at that time, nothing was more difficult than living.

He had to have a support and a reason to continue living.

At first, his support was his sister. Later, he began to devote himself to writing, hoping to discover more beauty in the world.

Slowly, he found that when he put aside distracting thoughts and concentrated on studying and creating, his mind was particularly clear, and the previously unclear things suddenly became clear to him.

As a result, not only did he make rapid progress in his studies, but the novels, short essays and poems he wrote were also valued by various magazines, and almost all the works he submitted were published.

Until his song "Seeing and Not Seeing" came out and became famous all over the world in an instant.

But before that, he had actually used many vests, written many works, and received a lot of rewards.

After that, he took advantage of the victory and directly published his first collection of poems, which was "The Farthest Distance in the World", and it was indeed a bestseller.

After the collection of poems became a best-seller, he gained the favor of the factory director, who began to praise his talent.

During this period, he encountered a robbery by his former companions, and his life was hanging by a thread again.

Fortunately, I managed to survive and with the help of my friends, I was able to escape.

Then after he escaped, he did not learn to swallow his anger like others, but decisively called the police, and with the help of the police uncle, he killed all the thieves who had robbed him.

After solving this biggest hidden danger, he said goodbye to his past self completely.

That despicable and confused self is completely dead.

From then on, he truly ushered in a new life!

A brand new Cao Zhiqiang, who relied on his own strength to overcome pessimism and despair, and whose body and mind was full of sunshine and hope, finally appeared in the world!
