Liu Hong sits firmly in the position of director of the business department, and has to deal with a large number of tedious and complex things every day, which can really be described as tireless and tireless. Even so, she still finds time in her busy schedule to insist on anchoring "Anxi News", especially important news about the municipal party committee and government. She understands that as an announcer, she must maintain a high frequency of appearances, and appearing in important TV shows is the best way for her to maintain social visibility and get the attention of her superiors.

Since Liu Zhenbang, secretary of the municipal party committee, was promoted to the provincial party committee, Liu Hong no longer said that his ancestral home was Hedong Province, because the ancestral home of Lu Jiangshan, the new secretary of the municipal party committee, was Henan Province, and he repeatedly emphasized in public that he was very disgusted with the concept of gangs and gangs.

Liu Hong has always been smart and clever, good at understanding current affairs, adjusting and improving herself according to the surrounding situation at any time, and always in a favorable position.

One day, station director Yu Siwei called Liu Hong to the office and prepared to send her to Beijing to participate in the National TV Program Trade Fair.

Yu Siwei specially explained to Liu Hongdao: "I have always had questions about the TV program market. You must observe more when you go to the conference this time to find out the real situation of the market. ”

Liu Hong asked, "Director Yu, what questions do you have?"

Yu Siwei smiled and said, "I won't say it yet, you can experience it yourself." ”

This is the first time that Liu Hong has participated in such a trade fair as the director of the business department. She and Dong Xiaolito, who was in charge of program procurement in the business department, bought two hard sleeper tickets and set off by train.

Liu Hong saw that the meals on the train were not only small in quantity, but also super expensive. She didn't want to hand over her hard-earned money to the Ministry of Railways. She poured a glass of boiling water, took out the sesame pastries, beef mustard and salted duck eggs that Zhao Qingsong had made for her from her bag and prepared to eat.

Dong Xiaoli said with a smile: "Director, you are really frugal and careful! You have to eat, drink, and sleep well when you go out." Put away your cakes, mustard and duck eggs. I invite you to the dining car to eat. ”

Liu Hong grabbed Dong Xiaoli and said, "If I don't go, you won't be allowed to go." Let's work together on Xiao Zhao's sesame cakes, beef mustard and salted duck eggs. How good it is, it's affordable and nutritious. ”

Dong Xiaoli had no choice but to sit down and chat with Liu Hong while eating sesame cakes and beef mustard painfully, under the pretext that she was full and refused to eat salted duck eggs anymore.

Dong Xiaoli took the opportunity of the train to stop at the station halfway, ran to the platform to buy a bag of apples, washed it and enjoyed it with Liu Hong.

In this way, the train traveled from Anxi to Beijing for two days and two nights, and Liu Hong and Dong Xiaoli ate beef mustard, salted duck eggs and apples with sesame cakes for two days.

They first went to the guest house to check in, washed up briefly, and then got on the bus to the trade fair.

Liu Hong and Dong Xiaoli visited one company after another in the exhibition hall where the trade fair was held, carefully selecting and watching the samples and tidbits of the show, repeatedly comparing the quality of the show, and constantly revising the plan to buy the show.

From time to time, the staff of the program company invited them to dinner, hoping that Anxi TV could buy the TV series in the hands of their company, and quietly stuffed Liu Hong with a bulging envelope in private.

Liu Hong opened the envelope curiously, only to see that it contained a large pile of brand-new cash.

Liu Hong was very surprised when she encountered a situation where someone else gave her cash for the first time: as long as we can buy programs with good ratings at a low price, why should they send us money?

So, she returned the envelopes containing the cash to the people who sent them one by one.

Dong Xiaoli saw it and said to her in confusion: "Director, why are you so stupid? We buy their company's film and television dramas, and it is natural for them to give us kickbacks." That's how everyone else takes it. This is the unspoken rule of the industry that everyone knows. ”

Liu Hong replied unhappily: "If we take their money, we must buy the program according to the price they proposed, and the loss is our TV station." We must not jump into their trap!"

Seeing some men and women leaving together after a full meal, she felt that the trade fair and the interpersonal relationships at the trade fair were very chaotic, and she always felt that such a transaction was indeed uneasy, no wonder Director Yu had questions!

On the first night, Liu Hong and Dong Xiaoli felt very tired because they had been running all day, and they lay on the bed and chatted after washing.

Liu Hong asked: "Xiao Dong, you came to the TV station earlier than me, and you must know everyone better than me." I'll mention the person's name now, and you can make an evaluation, how about it?"

Dong Xiaoli is a straightforward and fast-talking person, and when she heard Liu Hong say this, she happened to match her expertise, so she happily agreed: "Okay." You say. ”

Liu Hong thought for a moment and said, "Ding Yan." ”

Dong Xiaoli blurted out: "Good business and good temper, but the head is a bit of a shaft." ”

Liu Hong said with a smile: "You are so discerning, you usually don't see it. ”

Dong Xiaoli said proudly: "It's a piece of cake." ”

Liu Hong continued: "Du Juan. ”

Dong Xiaoli immediately replied: "Vitriolic and pretentious. ”

"Yang Li. ”

"Big popsicles. ”

"Director Huang. ”

"Stinky intellectuals. ”

"What about Cao Jianhua?"

"Wine fairy Li Bai. ”

"Where's Director Yu?"

"Old man of Marxism-Leninism. ”

Dong Xiaoli felt a little wrong as she spoke, so she said, "Director, I'm almost done." Now it's your turn to do your evaluation. ”

Dong Xiaoli didn't hear Liu Hong's answer for a long time, so she pricked up her ears and listened carefully: Liu Hong had already made a slight snoring sound.

The next day, Liu Hong and Dong Xiaoli took time to go to Wangfujing and Xidan to visit several large shopping malls. She found a lot of her favorite items in the mall, especially designer leather shoes that were fashionable but expensive.

She tried her beloved clothes and shoes over and over again, but when she thought that she had too little RMB in her wallet, she finally reluctantly put the goods back.

When the saleswomen saw that she only tried and didn't buy it, they immediately lowered their faces and ignored her.

Liu Hong carefully selected a few pairs of men's trousers and a few silk scarves for export and domestic sales on the low-end counter, and planned to give them to Niu Xinguo, Niu Xinjiang, Zhao Qingsong, Zhou Meili and other colleagues and colleagues in the unit who had a good relationship after going back.

When paying the bill, Dong Xiaoli cleverly grabbed in front of Liu Hong and asked her to pay the money for her.

Liu Hong refused to accept Dong Xiaoli's kindness. She knew in her heart that Dong Xiaoli's mother was a self-employed person specializing in selling all kinds of brand-name leather shoes, and the family was not short of money, but she still couldn't take advantage of her.

Dong Xiaoli sighed helplessly: "Director, you are really different from others!"

Liu Hong said with a smile: "It's all one nose and two eyes, what's the difference?"

After purchasing things, they went to visit the square, the Summer Palace, Badaling, Peking University, Tsinghua University and other famous scenic spots, wanting to experience the long Chinese history, profound culture and the progress of the times.

Standing on the crowded square, Liu Hong looked at the majestic and magnificent city tower, recalled the figures of the great men in TV and movies, and imagined that he would one day be able to climb this sacred city tower, with foresight and guidance.

Dong Xiaoli found that Liu Hong had been standing still, so she followed her eyes and looked ahead, but in addition to the head, it was still a head. She patted Liu Hong's arm and said, "Director, what are you thinking?"

Liu Hong woke up like a dream and promised: "Oh, I'm looking at the city tower in the distance." ”

Dong Xiaoli immediately proposed: "Let's go, let's go to it and get a good look at it up close." ”

Liu Hong smiled and said, "Okay." Let's go. ”

The next night, Liu Hong and Dong Xiaoli were even more tired than the day before, and they fell asleep after they got into bed.

When Dong Xiaoli woke up in the morning, she found Liu Hong sitting on the head of the bed and contemplating something.

After a long while, I only heard Liu Hong let out a long sigh, and then got up and dressed.

Dong Xiaoli also got up, wearing her own clothes, while secretly observing Liu Hong's face, trying to guess her mind in her heart.

On the third day, Liu Hong and Dong Xiaoli returned to the venue of the program trade fair to continue to negotiate the purchase of programs.

Although Liu Hong is also doing her best to choose programs and lower the program price of the program company, she is always a little absent-minded, as if her soul has flown to another world, which is very different from the mental state of the first day.

Dong Xiaoli also obviously felt that Liu Hong was not in a state, thinking that she was sick, and asked with concern: "Director, are you not feeling well?

Liu Hong smiled reluctantly and said, "My head is a little dizzy, my whole body is weak, maybe I have a cold." It's okay, it'll be fine in a while. ”

That night, Liu Hong and Dong Xiaoli went to bed early, because they were going to take the morning train back to Anxi.

Dong Xiaoli slept until midnight and was suddenly awakened by Liu Hong's shouting. She hurriedly jumped out of bed and ran to Liu Hong's bedside, pushing Liu Hong who was struggling in a nightmare with her hand.

Liu Hong finally broke free from the nightmare and opened her eyes, looking at Dong Xiaoli in horror.

Dong Xiaoli asked, "Director, are you having a nightmare?" You see that you are covered in sweat, and your clothes are also soaked with sweat. Get up and change your clothes. Oops, your forehead is so hot, you have a high fever!"

Liu Hong sat up, changed into underwear, and then said, "Xiao Dong, you pour me a glass of water, I'm a little thirsty." ”

Dong Xiaoli poured a glass of warm boiled water and handed it to Liu Hong, then took out cold medicine from her bag and put it in her palm, and let her take it.

After a while, Liu Hong felt a little better, so she lay down and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Liu Hong and Dong Xiaoli rushed to the train station and got on the return train.

When the train just started, Liu Hong suddenly said to Dong Xiaoli: "Don't tell anyone about my illness." ”

Dong Xiaoli wondered in her heart: Being sick during a business trip is also for work, why does the director keep it secret? Is it really that she is unwilling to show weakness in front of others? It seems that everyone is usually right.

This trip to Beijing had a great impact on Liu Hong's heart.

She saw a new world that was more opulent and magical than Anthy. This new world opened her eyes, just like the first time she went to Jinshan County and the first time she went to Anxi City, I am afraid that the feelings in her heart are incomprehensible in a few words.

At the same time, she also saw a chaotic market for shows that smelled of copper.

Liu Hong is determined to change that.
