Chapter 2: I'm number 88
The sound of the key inserting the door into the lock hole turned Huang Dong's thoughts back to reality. After the meeting, Han Peng hurried back to his residence. looked at the classmate with a miserable face, and teased, "Hey, haven't you committed suicide yet?" Have you figured it out? If you don't die today, I'll take you to dinner, and meet someone by the way." ”
Huang Dong had long been accustomed to this way of talking between them, and when Han Peng was frustrated, he also said the same thing, so he just replied fiercely, "Go, eat, eat good, eat you to death!"
Two people took a taxi to a restaurant with Northeast characteristics, waited in the restaurant for about half an hour, a middle-aged man hurriedly walked into the private room of Chaoyangtun Hotel, this is a typical Northwest man, although he is not tall, more than one meter seven, roughly the same head as Han Peng, his thin face is full of confidence, his eyes are not big, and he deliberately squints up when he speaks, so that people can't see through what he thinks connected with his eyes.
"Good leader!" Under the guidance of Han Peng, Huang Dong politely got up to greet him, and the corners of his mouth were holding a smile that he thought was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Hello, I'm Li Gang, assistant editor-in-chief of Beihua Evening News. After Li Gang reported his home, he unceremoniously sat down in the main seat.
"Mr. Li, this person Huang Dong, a native of Eastern Zhejiang Province, my classmate, a great talent in our Chinese Department, is quick in thinking and obedient in his actions, so people give him the nickname Huang Lao Xie!" Han Peng dragged Wen to introduce Huang Dong to Li Gang.
"Damn, Han Peng, this kid has always been loose-mouthed, and he won't tell them about me being kicked by my ex-girlfriend to come to Beihua, this grandson, if that's the case, I'm not done with him. Huang Dong looked at Han Peng worriedly, and the little knife in his heart was quickly sharpened dozens of times.
"Well, I have heard of it, I have heard of it, Han Peng and I have told you several times, saying that you are the best Chinese pen of his classmates, I heard that you have been in the Guangdong Morning News, that is one of the top media in the country, how can you suddenly remember the Northeast, is it also called by the country to develop the Great Northeast, want to devote yourself to it!" Li Gang was very humorous.
The waiter began to serve the food, and the three of them chatted casually, and did not talk about any serious topics. When the waiter finished serving the food and walked out of the private room, Han Peng turned around and closed the door of the private room, and then said to Li Gang with a serious face, "Leader, this is my very good brother, he has interview experience, and his writing is excellent, but it can be very useful, I originally did a good job in Guangdong, I see that we are short of manpower here, and I only agreed to come to Beihua after talking about it, and in the future, I have to ask the leaders to help me a lot!"
"Count you kid enough to say a few words!" Huang Dong's eyes swept over Han Peng's face, and he looked at Li Gang politely.
"It's good to say, everyone is from outside, to be able to come to this city and come together, it is fate, not to mention whether to carry or not, there is something to do together, and there is money to earn together!"
After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became harmonious, during the banquet, Li Gang also briefly introduced himself, he was originally the director of the economic news department of a well-known newspaper in the northwest region, and the leaders of the Beihua Evening News had a discerning eye when they inspected the northwest, and dug Li Gang with a high salary, served as an assistant to the editor-in-chief of the newspaper in the newspaper, and bought a house for him in the local area.
In this regard, some veteran employees of the newspaper have complained a lot, thinking that an outsider who does not understand the local situation can make news that the people love to watch, and the leader of the newspaper gives him such a good treatment, and I don't know how he is confused. When there was discontent, there would be antagonism, and soon, two distinct factions were formed in the newspaper, with the local faction headed by the deputy editor-in-chief, advocating the continuation of the newspaper's news line of focusing on international military news and supplemented by entertainment. The foreign faction headed by Li Gang drew on the advanced news concepts of Guangdong Province and Northwest China, and advocated focusing on social and economic news and taking the route of metropolitan newspapers.
The open and covert struggle in the newspaper offices has never ceased with the use of press releases as a weapon and the newspaper pages as a position. With his keen observation and unique perspective, Li Gang has made a sensational news in Beihua in several news events, and more and more people are impressed by Li Gang, and even the deputy editor-in-chief, who has always had a grudge against him, praised Li Gang to all employees at the staff meeting, saying that he is a rare news talent.
As Han Peng, who had just graduated, was recruited into the newspaper when Li Gang expanded the Economic News Department, and he very much agreed with Li Gang's news concept and the way he handled press releases, so he naturally became a die-hard fan of Li Gang.
"Our newspaper is different from other party newspapers and periodicals, as long as they do a good job as the mouthpiece of the party, they can survive without worry. Our newspaper needs to be responsible for its own profits and losses, how much money reporters can make, whether there is a bonus at the end of the year, and whether the reporting conditions can be further improved, all of which need to depend on the income generation indicators of our newspaper. However, revenue generation lags behind the news, and the quality of the news content determines the circulation of the newspaper, and only when the circulation develops can advertisers recognize the effect of the newspaper and thus recognize the advertising in!
In fact, these truths are very simple for Huang Dong, because the news concept of the Guangdong Provincial Newspaper is more than 5 years ahead of Beihua, and these gaps, the media in the Northeast are also well aware, but because the northerners are relatively conservative in their thinking, no one wants to be a crab eater, if it were not for a media group in the Northwest that took the lead in founding a metropolitan newspaper in Beihua - Wencui Daily, becoming a catfish in the media industry of Beihua, I am afraid that many media leaders will still guard their own one-third of an acre of land and live a salty and indifferent life.
Seeing the prosperity of Wencui Daily, the media people who realized it later also realized that the good day of print media may be coming soon, but such a large market must not let Wencui Bao dominate. In this way, there are Beihua Evening News and Metropolis Evening News, which have successively made efforts to invite news people from other places to start a second business. And Huang Dong's arrival coincided with the opportune time, when the North China media was thirsty for talent.
"What the leader said is exactly the direction of the future development of the newspaper, I fully agree, I have the honor to know you through Han Peng, but I don't know if there is this honor to charge under your men?"
After a short period of consideration, Huang Dong decided to stay, because through the conversation, he somewhat learned about the backwardness of the Beihua media, and although backwardness means being beaten, it means more opportunity for those who are prophetic. "Go to the editor-in-chief, buy shoes for 10,000 yuan and smash them in the face of the adulterer and adulteress!" This is Huang Dong's biggest dream in the short term.
"Okay, then let's work together to create a world in this village of Beihua!" At this time, Li Gang, who was in urgent need of a right-hand man, even revealed the intention of soliciting.
Hearing that Li Gang also said that Beihua was this village, Huang Dong was stunned at first, and then the three of them laughed together, and then raised their glasses and signed an offensive and defensive alliance with the wine in the cup!
The wine in the glass is exhausted, and the fire in the furnace is still warm.
Li Gang had to go back to the night shift, and when he was half drunk, he hurried away, and made an appointment to meet at the newspaper office tomorrow morning, and he would talk to the editor-in-chief about Huang Dong's entry in the evening.
There were only two brothers left on the wine table who had slept in a bed, and after each of them drank a few more glasses, they also got up to settle the bill, and walked aimlessly on the warm streets of Beihua, and then remembered the song that they often howled together when they were in college:
Brother who sleeps on my top bunk
Silent you
Those questions you used to ask me
No one asks anymore
Give me a cigarette to my brother
Give me a happy past
......
Singing all the way, several young people passing by the road were infected with emotions, and howled together with the singing of Huang Dong and Han Peng, and all of a sudden, a Chaoyang street was full of young people's slightly vicissitudes of singing.
"Let's go, brother will take you to take a bath, catch the wind and wash the dust for you, and let you feel the Beihua bathing culture!"
In 2004, Beihua was known as the national bathing capital, and large and small baths were spread all over the city. Han Peng took Huang Dong and went to a nearby "Mystery Rock" bath, although the door face did not look very big, turned into the door, but suddenly opened up, in the bathroom of more than 100 square meters on the first floor, the fog was thick, and more than a dozen men with bare buttocks were talking in twos and threes, or whispering in the pool, or talking at the tea table. Here, no one cares about each other's identities, a cigarette and a pot of tea become acquaintances and friends, but when they turn around, they are strangers.
Huang Dong and Han Peng hurriedly took off their clothes and pants, put a towel on their shoulders and got into the hot pool, after a few days of bumpy Huang Dong, suddenly felt soothed, his mind was blank, and all kinds of troubles and memories in the past were made clouds and smoke, left behind.
An hour later, most of the two of them had gone drunk, Han Peng proposed to go back to sleep, but Huang Dong was lazy and didn't want to get up, Han Peng was afraid that his girlfriend would call to check the post at night, so he booked a private room for Huang Dong and left alone.
"Don't make mistakes, be a good revolutionary comrade!" Han Peng mysteriously instructed as he left.
"This kid is always playing tricks!" Huang Dong disagreed!
After Han Peng left, Huang Dong was sleepy, wiped his body dry, and walked straight to the private room on the third floor. Thinking about the past in his mind, he became confused after a while, but when he was half-asleep and half-awake, strange sounds came from the left and right partition walls, mixed with the sound of women crying and men's roars, which kept drilling into Huang Dong's ears. These strange sounds made Huang Dong, who was still a virgin, feel burned, what is the situation?
Huang Dong put on his slippers, opened the door, and at a glance, in the originally quiet corridor, there were three or three scantily dressed girls walking in front of the door, and when they saw Huang Dong, several pairs of charming eyes floated together, and Huang Dong was numb.
"Bang dang!" Huang Dong, who was like an electric shock, subconsciously closed the door, this thin door was his last pass, ensuring that he was temporarily safe as a jade!
"This rabbit cub, don't say it a long time ago, is it so harmful? Lao Tzu is still a yellow flower guy, and he can't make people huo in this place!" Although Huang Dong has seen such a scene when he is interviewed in Guangdong Province, he has interviewed with colleagues, and he has never had this idea.
Huang Dong jumped on the bed and covered his head with a pillow, stubbornly resisting the "wonderful sound" coming from the seven orifices, and his heart also fell into infinite contradictions. As a boy with strong blood, he is not sure if he can resist another "seduction".
Huang Dong simply opened the door and walked to the hall, he thought, there are so many people in the hall, it should be better. But as soon as I opened the door, I heard an exclamation in front of the door, a girl with long hair in a shawl, her eyes widened, she was startled by the sudden opening of the door, her left hand kept patting her chest, and she was wearing a short skirt with suspenders, and her chest showed a snow-white, towering twin peaks, and a deep career line, so that Huang Dong immediately froze on the spot, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" And at this time, the girl also recovered from the panic and began to apologize to Huang Dong non-stop, her body bent slightly, and the perfect chest contour was completely exposed to Huang Dong's eyes. In the face of all this, Huang Dong felt his blood surge, and he couldn't move his feet anymore.
"It's okay, it's okay!" After a while, Huang Dong recovered from his shock and stammered in response.
"Sir, do you need a massage?" asked the girl timidly.
"Hmm,...... "Huang Dong was stunned for a long time, and the ghost made a god agree.
"Then you go back and wait, I'll be here in a while!" After the girl finished speaking, she turned away, leaving Huang Dong with a curling back.
At this time, Huang Dong's brain was blank, he didn't know what to do, reason told him that it was wrong to do this, but his body returned to the house without listening to the command.
struggle, fierce ideological struggle......
After two or three minutes, the girl returned, knocked lightly on the door, and after getting permission, entered the room with a small box, glanced at Huan Dong timidly, and said in a low voice, "Do you want to rest for a while, or do you want to start now?"
"Start, start what?" Huang Dong asked subconsciously.
"You, aren't you going for a massage?" the girl's voice was low, her face flushed as she spoke.
If he hadn't been here, at this time, Huang Dong would have thought that the elementary school girl standing in front of him was a young girl who had just entered school.
"Well, don't. Can we chat?" Huang Dong's answer made the girl stunned for a moment, and instantly a smile appeared on her face, smiling so sincerely, and her eyes were bent into crescents.
"Chat, okay, don't regret it!" said the girl, generously sitting on the only bed in the private room, her legs playfully kicking back and forth, like a girl sitting on the beach and playing in the water on vacation.
At this time, the two of them were less than a foot together, and the aromatic smell of the shower gel penetrated straight into Huang Dong's nasal cavity, which was very comfortable, and Huang Dong saw that there was a "88" round number plate hanging on the waist of the girl's sundress. So, I didn't have anything to say, "What is this?"
"My number plate, number 88, Dolgilly, you have to remember me. The girl replied with a smile, her eyes closing the crescent again.
Even if the reaction was slow, Huang Dong understood the nature of the girl's work at this time.
"Hey, what do you want? If you talk about chatting and don't talk, you have to pay, I don't care, you can't pay the bill!" the girl looked at Huang Dong, who was stunned, and said coquettishly.
"Well, no regrets, no regrets!" Huang Dong had completely lost his sharp words at the moment, and responded to the girl's words in a wooden manner.
"Looks like you're here for the first time?" The girl suddenly said with a straight face.
"Yes, it's the first time I've come to Beihua, it's the first time I've come here. Huang Dongying said.
"No wonder, but there's nothing fun in Beihua Tiantian. I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. ”
"Then you and I can tell you about some places to play. Huang Dong came to his senses and began to take the initiative to talk to the girl.
After that, the girl began to introduce Huang Dong from the suburban park to the indoor buildings of the Republic of China. The two of you say a word, like friends who have not been masked for a long time, sitting in a café and chatting about the past, without a trace of discomfort. The whole style of painting seems so natural.
Unconsciously, after chatting with the girl for more than two hours, the window began to whiten, the sky was almost dawn, the girl stretched tiredly, and her slender and well-proportioned legs made Huang Dong's heart tremble, and the girl also noticed Huang Dong's expression, and lowered her head and smiled, Huang Dong was stupid.
"Okay, after talking for so long, it's time for me to get off work, come back later, remember to look for me." The girl got up as she spoke, picked up the small box, opened the door, looked back at Huang Dong again, hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it, don't come, let's not meet." Then, the hip-length skirt disappeared at the end of the hallway.
Huang Dong didn't have any response, he was stunned for a while, he got up and went downstairs, put on his clothes and walked out of the bath, this night, he didn't close his eyes, but spent 800 yuan, for the money, Huang Dong didn't feel very distressed, but when he was eating breakfast on the street, he still couldn't go back to the snow-white peaks in his mind, his slender legs, and the number plate of "88" on the girl's waist.
Huang Dong smiled bitterly, secretly laughed at whether he had lost his soul, got up and followed a main road, inquired about the direction of the Beihua Evening News, and walked towards the mass square without hurrying.
What Huang Dong didn't expect was that this girl, who he thought was just a guest in his life, had such a huge impact on his future life that this unexpected encounter would have such a huge impact on his future life, and this "88" number helped him not only to start his own career, but also to save him a lot of troubles, and to usher in the peak of his life.
