The interview is over, and under the pen of reporter Ye Huilan, a similar article on "Cultivators Fight Demons on the Streets of Tokyo" was released.

After the interview, Ye Huilan did not say goodbye, she was very interested, and asked Xu Yan what he was doing in Japan, Xu Yan said vaguely: "We are all colleagues from the same newspaper, we have issued year-end bonuses, and the company has arranged for Japan to travel and take annual leave, but I didn't expect to encounter such a big news, which I didn't expect in advance." ”

Ye Huilan was shocked -- I didn't expect this rural pig newspaper to be unreliable by looking at the name -- uh, wrong, the rural pig newspaper -- it could actually give employees the benefits of traveling abroad with public funds? That was really cool!

She sighed: "Oh, your paid annual leave can still pay you a bonus for traveling abroad? Then the welfare of your newspaper is really very good, and the treatment of mainland media employees is really quite good -- by the way, can your newspaper still recruit reporters? Tell your boss -- uh, you should talk about the leaders of the mainland? Tell your leaders, if you recruit reporters, can you consider recruiting me, a Taiwan compatriot?

Don't worry, I am a patriot who voted for Ma Ying-jeou and resolutely support the reunification of the motherland! Recruit me -- when the People's Liberation Army lands on the island another day, I will be able to lead the way by the way. ”

Ye Huilan was obviously joking, Xu Yan and Huang Xi both laughed out loud - this Taiwanese girl is so humorous!

Zhu Youxiang didn't understand these stalks, but seeing that the others were laughing, she looked at this and that again suspiciously, and didn't understand why everyone was laughing so tacitly, and she was confused.

Xu Yan smiled: "Miss Ye is joking with us." The salaries and benefits of Taiwan's media workers have always been very good, and our mainland counterparts are very envious. If you say such a thing, you don't know how blessed you are!

"Alas," Ye Huilan waved her hand. She laughed, "I knew you wouldn't believe it." If we want to talk about the economy, Taiwan used to be okay, but since Li Dengshen came up, a group of politicians have not engaged in economic development and have made trouble with the mainland and engaged in politics -- your mainland has a vast land and resources, a large population, and too many strong people, so we are fighting politics with you. Where can we have fun?

As a result, there have been no political tricks, but the economy has been stagnant for many years, and we have been pulled down a lot by Japan and South Korea in the economic sector, and even your mainland has gradually caught up with us.

Now, we media reporters used to be called 'teachers', but now, everyone calls us paparazzi. And our salaries have plummeted. Senior employees like the editor-in-chief are only 40K a month, while we, the new reporters, have remained unchanged at 22K for thousands of years...... I reckon. I've been mastering this 22K for years. ”

"What does that mean?" Xu Yan couldn't understand, and Huang Xi explained: "That is, the monthly salary of 22,000 Taiwan dollars means - according to the current exchange rate, one yuan is about 5 Taiwan dollars." ”

"Oh. Xu Yan suddenly, he said: "Such words." Miss Ye, you now have four or five thousand yuan a month. On the mainland. New students can get this salary, which is already a very good treatment. ”

Ye Huilan smiled and said: "That's different! The prices in your mainland are very cheap, four or five thousand yuan per person, if the newcomer has no family burden, life can be good." But Taiwan is really a ghost island, wages are so low, but prices are ridiculously high...... Twenty-two thousand, how miserable it is to live.

Moreover, your economic momentum is good, obviously it is still on the rise, with the deepening of qualifications, employees still have a lot of room for salary increases in the future, and you still have hope for it. The situation on our side...... Alas, the economic downturn is getting worse every day, and we just hope that the magazine will not close down and not be cut in salary. Like now, after graduation, many of my classmates have gone to Huhai to look for jobs, and I heard that the salary and positions are very good - I am thinking, after finishing this issue of the magazine, I will also go to see it, and I heard that the media treatment in Huhai is very good. ”

Ye Huilan herself didn't know why she had such an in-depth conversation with these young men and women in front of her who had never met for the first time, and told her private affairs - maybe Mr. Xu and Miss Zhu's light and breezy temperament gave people a very relaxed feeling, making it easy for people to open their hearts and say what was in their hearts, right?

Xu Yan raised the coffee cup and smiled: "If the tree moves the dead and the living, if it doesn't go well, it is not a bad idea to change the environment and develop." Then I wish Miss Ye a smooth future and smooth sailing for you this time. ”

Ye Huilan thanked her, and the two sides talked about Ye Huilan's work in Japan, and Ye Huilan told them very frankly that she only planned to stay in Tokyo for two days, and then she would rush to Hakone with her colleagues.

"Hakone, what kind of place is that?" Xu Yan asked inexplicably, fortunately, Huang Xi had been to Japan before, and his common sense was much richer than Xu Yan's, and he took the initiative to introduce him: Hakone is a famous hot spring town and health resort in Japan, located in the southwest of Kanagawa Prefecture, 90 kilometers away from Tokyo.

Hearing the word "hot spring", Xu Yan understood, and he smiled: "Miss Ye is planning to take advantage of the opportunity of traveling at public expense to go to Hakone to soak in the hot springs for leisure, right?

We went to Hakone for interviews. ”

"Interview?Miss Ye, there is such a big news in Tokyo, isn't it enough for you to interview? This news should be enough for everyone to dig for a long time, right?"

Ye Huilan shook her head: "No, the news of the Tokyo monster is too sensational, it is the focus of attention all over the world, various TV stations and media are digging this news, they have funds and connections, no matter how hard we try, we can't compare to others." We're going to have to dig up some of the little things and see if we can find any valuable news stories to follow......"

Xu Yan said curiously: "Huh, is there anything new happening over there in Hakone?"

Ye Huilan glanced at Xu Yan vigilantly, and she said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Mr. Xu, you shouldn't want to dig up news from me, right? You and I are walking together. ”

Xu Yan smiled casually: "Miss Ye misunderstood, we have no intention of robbing you of clues...... You know. We came to Tokyo for tourism, not for interviews. In fact. We weren't even very interested in the sensational news of the Ginza monster in Tokyo. Your clues, if it's inconvenient to say, forget it, it's okay - come on, everyone drink coffee. ”

Seeing that Xu Yan didn't seem to be interested at all, now, Ye Huilan was embarrassed - she seems to be a villain in vain, right? It seems that Mr. Xu and they are not interested in this news at all - even if they reveal the clues to Mr. Xu, it is nothing!

A tabloid that has never been heard of in the mainland, they can't compete with themselves at all. Why not reveal the clues to them yourself? What's more, people may not be interested in listening to it!

Thinking of this, Ye Huilan smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, it's because I'm too allergic - Mr. Xu, you entertained me today and helped me complete the interview, this clue should be regarded as my gratitude to you." ”

Xu Yan hurriedly excused himself: "Miss Ye, you really don't have to be polite." You revealed the clues. In case your boss gets you in trouble, then we're sorry for you. ”

"It's okay, I believe that you are all true gentlemen, and I don't think you will deliberately publicize it outside. Smash my job~"

Xu Yan waved his hand and smiled, indicating that this kind of thing was impossible, and Ye Huilan said, "Actually." This clue is also reflected in the letters of our readers - I forgot to tell you. Although our Urban Weekly is a niche publication, we have been running a newspaper for many years. There are still a lot of loyal fans, and our interaction with readers is still very close. One of our long-time readers immigrated to Japan a few years ago, but he still subscribes to the publications that support us.

This long-time reader sent us a letter the other day saying that he had come to Japan and settled in Hakone, Japan's hot spring town. But recently, he noticed a lot of strange things happening in the Hakone, the mountains over there, the sky often has strange colored lights, there are small earthquakes, and he has seen with his own eyes that many animals in the mountains are fleeing the mountains. This old reader wrote to us to ask what was going on? If possible, he hoped that we would send an experienced reporter to the site to help him answer his questions.

It's been months since this letter was sent to our editorial office, and we didn't have the funds or time to get there. But now, since we have come to Japan for the sake of the Ginza monster in Tokyo, the editor-in-chief has asked us to stop by and walk around there -- the editor-in-chief said that this kind of natural wonder is probably not visible. However, the other party is our loyal old reader, and we should pay attention to such readers, and go there to visit people politely, which can be regarded as a response, so as not to say that our magazine does not respect readers. ”

"The sky flashed with colorful lights...... The earth shook slightly...... The animals were terrified and fled the area......"

Listening to Ye Huilan's story, Xu Yan suddenly sat up straight - what Ye Huilan told was in line with the abnormality of the exit of the space-time gap in the demon world that Zhu Youxiang and himself talked about?

Xu Yan's eyes flashed with excitement, and he glanced at Zhu Youxiang, but saw that the latter was also slightly moved. The two exchanged glances, and in an instant, they communicated with their eyes: since there is such an obvious clue, I am going to Hakone!

Xu Yan pretended not to care, leaned back on the back of the chair very comfortably, and said casually: "Miss Ye, you said that there was a colorful light flashing in the air, the earth shook slightly, and the animals fled, this seems to be a precursor to an earthquake, right?"

"Yes, there were signs before the earthquake. ”

"That's it. Japan has always been an area with a high incidence of earthquakes, and there are no less than dozens of large and small earthquakes throughout the year...... It's a bit of a waste, isn't it?"

When Xu Yan said this, Ye Huilan also felt that yes, things seemed to be very commonplace and commonplace, and there was no news value. Thinking like this, her mind to dig up a big news also faded, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, when you say that, I think it's the same." However, since the editor-in-chief has arranged an interview task, we have also made an appointment with the reader, and it is not okay not to go, so we still have to go over and go on a trip. ”

At this time, Xu Yan quickly glanced at Zhu Youxiang, Zhu Youxiang was well-thought, she immediately came to her senses, pretended to be curious, and said, "Xiao Xu, what kind of place is Hakone?

The enthusiastic Ye Huilan grabbed the conversation: "That's right, the hot springs in Hakone are famous tourist resorts all over the world! There are green peaks and beautiful scenery everywhere, if you haven't been there yet, you really should go for a trip -- you have come to Japan, and you have not yet soaked in hot springs, so how can you do it? After soaking in hot springs, you will have a better understanding of Japanese culture and culture, and have a deeper understanding of the Japanese nation."

Moreover, soaking in hot springs is also very good for our body, it can promote blood circulation in the body, has the effect of improving physical coldness, and, for us girls, because the hot spring water contains a lot of mineral elements that are beneficial to the human body, and it is also good for the skin, it can make our skin more delicate, more beautiful, and radiant - for us girls, when we come to Japan, we must soak in the hot springs!

Miss Zhu, Miss Huang, Hakone is not far from Tokyo, and it takes only an hour and a half to take the train, which is very convenient. Simply, you guys go with me, there are a lot of people, that's fun!"

I have to say that Ye Huilan is worthy of being a reporter, her eloquence is really good, after listening to her persuasion, not only Zhu Youxiang, but even Huang Xi, who was originally indispensable, seemed to be moved - after all, she is a girl, who can resist the temptation of "delicate skin, more beautiful, and radiant"?

It's just that among the three of them, the person who made the decision was Xu Yan, Xu Yan didn't speak, and Huang Xi couldn't make a sound, she could only look at Xu Yan with expectant eyes, and her pleading eyes were like a poor puppy, which made Xu Yan secretly amused.

Xu Yan asked, "Huang Xi, Xiao Zhu, what do you think, do you want to go to Hakone for two days?"

The two girls nodded, Xu Yan pretended to have a look that they couldn't do anything, and sighed: "It's just that we haven't been to Hakone, and we don't know anyone over there, so we don't know ...... place."

Ye Huilan interjected: "Mr. Xu, you can go with us! We have been there several times before, and we are all familiar with the way." You go with us, everyone walks together, you can chat on the way, it's more fun!"

Xu Yan looked at her and seemed to smile: "But in this case, Miss Ye, don't you worry, we will rob you of the news clues?"

Ye Huilan's face flushed slightly: "Mr. Xu, don't laugh at me." This kind of clue is probably not a very valuable good thing, that is, we want to give it to you, Mr. Xu, you may not be willing to ask for it - I just said something petty, please Mr. Xu, please don't mind. ”

Xu Yan bowed: "Okay-since everyone wants to go, then let's go to Hakone for a trip." Miss Ye, I'm afraid I'm going to bother you this time, we're very embarrassed.

That's it, Miss Ye, I have an opinion, you don't think it's okay: it's the first time we're going to Hakone, and we still need a lot of help from Miss Ye, so we don't want to go. In order to show our kindness, let us take care of the transportation and accommodation expenses for you to go there this time. ”

Ye Huilan hurriedly excused herself, saying that how can this kind of thing be done, it is fate for everyone to go together, but how can we let Mr. Xu help us pay for it? That is really inappropriate.

Xu Yan said with a smile: "It's okay, uh, you also know that this time we went on a business trip with the newspaper's public funds to go on vacation." All our expenses can be reimbursed with public funds when we go back to the newspaper office -- anyway, I don't pay for it, and everyone just remember to make the invoice when the time comes. ”

Knowing that it could be reimbursed with public funds, Ye Huilan didn't shirk much. She said with emotion: "At our newspaper, the reimbursement standard is deducted to death, and I often pay for business trips and interviews, so I am embarrassed -- it is better for your socialism!"

Xu Yan and Huang Xi looked at each other, smiling bitterly and speechless.

Then, Xu Yan and Ye Huilan made an appointment, the two sides met at the gate of Shinjuku Station at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and then they took the bullet train to Hakone together. (To be continued......)
