In this world, despite the emergence of Internet news, news sources are still controlled by traditional media, and traditional media deliver news to thousands of households through the distribution of newspapers.

Gao Yiwei's Liaocheng Evening News is the largest newspaper in the local area, with a daily circulation of 100,000 copies, including 50,000 in urban areas and 50,000 in several counties, cities and towns.

This circulation may not be a big deal in front of some provincial newspapers, but for this small city with a population of only 600,000, it is not intended to be a significant newspaper.

Almost one in four households subscribes to a newspaper.

And so many newspapers, in addition to government agencies and large communities are completed by the postal system, some newspapers in old neighborhoods and street newsstands are delivered by the newspaper offices themselves.

In addition to the evening newspaper, there is also the provincial newspaper printed here, all of which are completed by a newspaper delivery team composed of more than 50 people.

Each person has about 200 tasks, and can earn 30 yuan a day, of course, the newspaper delivery man has other tasks, such as delivering milk, flowers, etc., but overall, this is a lot of hard work, little pay job, so there are also some people who come to work with low education and no skills, and most of them are over 40 years old.

After all, young people would rather work in factories than do it in the wind and rain.

Gao Yiwei walked up to these people and coughed as they watched them skillfully sort the newspapers.

Well, no one paid attention to him.

Only a middle-aged woman with some gray hair looked at him and asked, "Young man, who are you looking for?"

The newspaper delivery staff and the distribution department have a labor relationship, and these people seem to have started delivering the newspaper when they get it, and they basically don't deal with the people in the newspaper, so they don't know Gao Yiwei, a reporter from the social department.

"Well, I want to deliver a newspaper, are you willing to let me deliver it?" Gao Yiwei thought for a while, and decided to get straight to the point and say his purpose.

A person with a red nose coughed, probably thinking that Gao Yiwei wanted to compete with them for business, so he said in a weird manner: "What is Xiao Young doing is not good, stealing business with us." ”

Gao Yiwei scratched his head and said, "No, I just want to deliver the newspaper." To be honest, I'm the reporter upstairs, don't lie to you, if you don't believe it...... Hey, Director Wang!"

When a person who bowed his head heard someone calling him, he walked over with square steps, and when he saw that it was Gao Yiwei, he chuckled and said: "Isn't this Gao Reporter? Why do you have the kung fu to come to us today to experience life? Oh, yes, this is a part of society, and your social department is wide enough." ”

The person who spoke was none other than Wang Zetao, director of the distribution department, who was about to go outside to the restaurant, and when he saw the newspaper delivery man, he came over to take a look at it on a whim, and he ran into Gao Yiwei.

The red nose said: "Director Wang, you can't give the newspaper delivery work to outsiders, we have been sending newspapers to our newspaper for several years." It's a skilled trade, and in an afternoon, the newspapers can't be delivered, let alone newcomers. ”

Director Wang nodded and said, "I know everyone is working hard, but the price of 1 mao 5 per copy is unlikely to rise again." Of course, the newspaper also understands your work, so there will be a new batch of electric vehicles for you in the near future, such as Sister Liu, and then ride a bicycle to deliver newspapers, but it is too slow. We're delivering evening newspapers, but we always have to deliver them to our subscribers before dinner, right?"

The people around said yes, but many people looked at Sister Liu next to Gao Yiwei.

Because Sister Liu is one of the few people who delivers newspapers on a bicycle.

At this moment, her face was a little red, after all, the meaning of Director Wang's words was obvious, and she was slow to deliver newspapers.

However, what can she do, but if she has extra money, she doesn't want to do this.

She thought of her poor daughter, and her heart was even more sad.

But at this moment, Gao Yiwei suddenly spoke, and there was excitement in his voice: "Sister Liu's car is actually a bulky girder bicycle?"

The so-called girder bicycle, which is an old-fashioned bicycle in the past, is that there is also a beam between the handlebar and the seat, where you can put something.

Today's cars pursue lightweight, and this old car has been eliminated because it is too bulky, but I didn't expect there to be one here.

This kind of car is of good quality and durable, but it is too bulky and young people don't like it, so there is no manufacturer to produce it.

Sister Liu's car had a canvas bag with a large pile of newspapers in the back seat, and a pocket on the beam with some other newspapers.

Apparently, she had well over 200 copies of her newspaper, at least more than 300.

The red nose said angrily: "You young man is so uninteresting, Sister Liu's family is in difficulty, so we asked her to send 100 more newspapers." You're going to rob her newspaper, believe it or not, we're going to beat you up?"

Gao Yiwei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I've explained everything, I'm a reporter." Sister Liu, how about it, I'll deliver your newspaper for you, right?"

Sister Liu pinched a corner, with pleading in her voice, and said: "This is my job, without it, I ......"

The people around also began to discuss, and several old acquaintances of Sister Liu came over and said, "What are you doing?"

Director Wang coughed and said, "When the electric car comes, give Sister Liu one first." ”

Gao Yiwei saw that everyone had misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "Everyone misunderstood, I just want to experience the life of delivering newspapers." ”

"Then you can't steal other people's jobs. Someone said.

Gao Yiwei opened the wallet, took out two hundred-yuan bills, stuffed them into Sister Liu's hand, and said, "You can take this money, even if it is the cost of my newspaper." ”

The red nose was stunned for a moment, because he had never seen anyone who had to give money to others to deliver newspapers, could it be that this young man had something wrong with his brain? He turned his gaze to Director Wang.

Director Wang was also confused, and said: "The newspaper delivery fee, we settle the newspaper delivery fee on a weekly basis, what do you count?"

Gao Yiwei smiled and said, "Director Wang, although it wasn't Sister Liu who delivered these newspapers today, the salary that should be paid should not be less." ”

Director Wang probably also accepted Gao Yiwei's idea of experiencing life, and said with a smile: "Of course. Besides, no one dares to offend your social department. ”

He knows that the Ministry of Social Affairs is the best at guiding public opinion, and if he offends the people in the Ministry of Social Affairs, they don't need to make a move, and they dare not go out if they can write with their pen.

Sister Liu pinched the money and said, "I'm very grateful for you helping me deliver the newspaper, and I just happened to be able to see my daughter this afternoon." But I can't ask for this money, and Director Wang won't miss me for the newspaper delivery fee. ”

Gao Yiwei said: "Then count my rental fee!"

Sister Liu gritted her teeth and said, "But I still have to ride to see my daughter." ”

Gao Yiwei is already a little impatient, he has to ride a bicycle to exercise, 40 kilometers, not a short distance, even if it is around the city, it will take two laps.

The red nose laughed and said, "Sister Liu, you have two hundred yuan, why don't you just take a taxi to the hospital?"

Gao Yiwei stepped on the pedals of the car, and after getting into the car, he said, "I'll go first!"

Sister Liu had no choice but to put 200 yuan in her pocket, walked out of the newspaper yard, and walked down the road to the bus stop.

After all, taking the bus is only a dollar, which is much cheaper than taking a taxi.

She looked at Gao Yiwei who was riding a bicycle and muttered: "There are still a lot of good people, I am afraid that I will hurt my self-esteem by directly giving money, so I deliberately use this method to help me." Oops, I forgot to take my daughter's share. ”

Gao Yiwei didn't know what Sister Liu was muttering, he was riding his bicycle fast, following the delivery route and rushing to the first delivery address.

Facing the wind and enjoying the warmth of the sun, Gao Yiwei sang in his duck voice: "Lalala, lalala, I am a little expert in selling newspapers......"
