"Hatsuyun, I want to talk to you about this letter from a reader. It was sent by a female worker who worked in a shoe factory in Tianjin, complaining to us about the long hours, the low pay, and the fact that she was often ruthlessly fired if she became pregnant with a child. With that, Teresa Teng handed over the letter she said.
"Mrs. Sun also made a sincere proposal on the current situation of female workers a few days ago." Before Shen Chuyun opened the letter, he had already shown twelve points of concern.
Teresa lowered her head, touched the back of her neck, in case her eyes would reveal the secret, and proposed: "Yes, many colleagues are discussing this issue now." So, I want to ...... Let you go to Tianjin with He Yi'an to do a field investigation. ”
I saw that Shen Chuyun's full attention was on the letter, because the female worker's education level was limited to literacy, the words were a little crooked, and there were a small number of other words in the content of a hundred or so words, and she had to read it back and forth twice to understand its meaning.
After reading it, Deng Lisha's mood was also adjusted, staring at Shen Chuyun with care, and sure enough, seeing her undoubted appearance, she nodded again and again in agreement.
Deng Lisha took the lead and added: "I have already notified He Yi'an." Then, if He Yi'an's voice really came from outside, Deng Lisha turned her head and smiled, "Look, isn't this coming." He's also a strange person, why did he come at this moment, could it be that he still had a pair of wings? ”
I saw that He Yi'an came in a hurry against the noon sun, and although he was in the car, his forehead was already densely covered with beads of sweat.
"Hello, He Jun." Teresa Teng got up and gave up her seat, the corners of her mouth were almost to her ears, and she kept waving her hands enthusiastically.
Shen Chuyun didn't know about Deng Lisha's careful thinking at all, and He Yi'an had been like this recently, so she suddenly had some idea, so she hurried here with a look on her face, and she was used to the expression on He Yi'an's face, as if there was something important, but when she asked, it was because it was hot and the mood was not right. Therefore, I simply don't ask, and only talk to him about work.
He Yi calmed down, and he didn't think of any countermeasures along the way, so he also made a few perfunctory words. Then, he made an excuse and avoided the courtyard with Teresa Teng to whisper.
"Aren't you afraid of doing bad things with good intentions?"
Teresa Teng looked around vigilantly, especially a pair of eyes that barely left the window of Shen Chuyun's office, and replied in a low voice: "I naturally know where Tianjin is, which is why I want you to go with me." Ask the rest of the club to follow, if there is anything that will not protect Chu Yun, only you can. When the time comes, if there is a special situation, you will be responsible for improvising. If you think my idea is not good, then in your opinion, is it better to let her stay in Beijing and face the indiscriminate bombardment of reporters? ”
He Yi'an was silent when he heard this, and walked around with his hands in his pockets. took out the cigarette box, lit a cigarette and smoked it, and after thinking about it again, there was no other way to do both. reluctantly agreed: "I know, then I'll go." ”

Time passed quickly, and another week passed, and Shen Chuyun was so busy with the hotly discussed issue of women's workers' rights and interests that he didn't pay much attention to those lace news at all. Until I got in the car to Tianjin, I didn't think there was any problem.
When I contacted the leather shoe factory in Tianjin, I communicated in the name of interviewing the chairman's struggle, so I did not encounter any perfunctory or embarrassment.
He Yi'an successfully entered the workshop and took pictures of the female workers at work.
In the dog days, the workshop has become a big steamer. The youngest of these female workers seems to be only in their teens, and the oldest is only in their thirties. As soon as I sat down in the morning, I hardly left my post for a moment.
He Yi'an accosted a female worker, and learned that she worked at least twelve hours a day, and when she was busy and had no rest, her income was very meager. Taking advantage of the gap between the workshop director and the people, He Yi'an asked again if she was satisfied with the salary, and the female worker naturally shook her head like a rattle. As for how much money is reasonable, she is only very contented to say that even if it rises by dozens of dollars a day. Finally, wipe the oil and sweat on your forehead and replenish it, and it is best to rest regularly for a day or two every month.
And Shen Chuyun never left the office area, and she wrote full of questions. Because there is a gap between purpose and appearance, she first needs to ask many, many questions about the difficulty of starting a business and breaking the monopoly of imported products, but also show curiosity and sincerity to put the interviewed managers at ease. Taking advantage of the heat, it is cold to talk about the topic of workers in a casual tone, and it will not make people very guarded.
At the end of the day, I finally got the job done.
On the way back to the hotel, He Yi'an said worriedly: "I know that your original intention of running the newspaper is to hope that someone in this society can tell the truth. But I still have to warn you that not only the owner of this factory, but also most of the entrepreneurs who have considerable political connections will not like your report. ”
Shen Chuyun nodded solemnly, sighed and said, "I understand what you mean, and I will be careful in everything in the future." ”
He Yi'an wanted to say something else, but the scene of the workers working floated in his mind and couldn't be dispersed. From the perspective of profit-seeking by businessmen, it is natural to make money in harmony. However, seeing that the low-level workers are in such a state of existence, how can they be ruthless and not know what to do?
Therefore, I did not continue to speak.

When they arrived at the lobby of the hotel, a woman in her thirties stood up in the reception area on the side and greeted Shen Chuyun, "This is not Miss Shen." ”
Shen Chuyun listened to the voice very familiarly, as if he was acquainted, and when he turned his head to look, his face couldn't help but rise.
He Yi'an looked at the lady who was walking over, and looked behind her, there was only one teacup on the table. Probably not a chance encounter, but a heart to find someone.
I only heard Shen Chuyun introduce it on the side: "I'll introduce it to you." This is the president of the Tianjin Women's Patriotic Association, Ms. Fan Jiuxiang. This is my partner and photojournalist for our newspaper, Mr. He Yi'an. ”
Fan Jiuxiang smiled at He Yi'an, stretched out a hand and shook it twice, then turned back to Shen Chuyun and said, "Can I talk to you?" ”
He Yi'an, who had already guessed that she was in trouble, said goodbye with interest: "I'll go back to the room first." As I passed by the front desk, I faintly heard a slight snoring behind the counter. When I looked up at my watch, it was exactly three o'clock, and in such a season, it was indeed easy to get sleepy. So he shook his head and smiled, made a lift and went back to the house.
Seeing that the people were leaving, Shen Chuyun smiled and asked, "It seems that you came to wait for me all the way?" Old friends haven't seen each other for a long time, so thank you for worrying. ”
Fan Jiuxiang nodded and smiled: "Let's go up and sit in the back garden, where the green covers overlap, it is very shady." It's not very pleasant to watch the scenery reminisce. ”
When the two of them came to the back garden, they were greeted by a stack of rockeries and a small Western fountain in the middle.
It is surrounded by flowers and trees, and it is a good place to enjoy the coolness. In the open space, there are a few open chairs, lined up under the big trees, just to enjoy the flowers. Next to the open chair, there are also four large vats, raising many lotus leaves, which are very elegant.
There was a small gazebo on the east side, and no one was occupying the seat at this time.
Shen Chuyun beckoned to the guy and invited him to serve two cups of herbal tea.
Fan Jiuxiang is a straight person, seeing that Shen Chuyun was sweating profusely, he didn't pull her around in circles, and asked straight to the point: "Chuyun, do you remember a few years ago when the women's groups in Beijing and Tianjin advocated a joint petition to the Zheng Mansion?" ”
Shen Chuyun sipped the tea, nodded his head, and suddenly felt much better, so he replied: "You mean, the time when you advocated the abolition of female prostitutes?" ”
Fan Jiuxiang's expression froze, moved the stool, and walked close to Shen Chuyun's side, and said, "Yes, I want to know if you still haven't changed your ambition on this issue." ”
Shen Chuyun nodded heavily and said without hesitation: "This is natural, although we failed to reach a strategic consensus that time, but we all have the same idea about the ultimate goal of this issue." ”
When Fan Jiuxiang heard this, she pulled out a handkerchief from the button, fanned it in her hand, and sneered in her mouth: "If it wasn't for the Women's Promotion Association that suddenly put forward the idea of 'step by step', our strategy would have been the same a long time ago. ”
It was only then that Shen Chuyun realized that he was afraid that Fan Jiuxiang's intention was not simple. Because he sat up straight, he said tentatively, "You seem to be ...... What does it mean? ”
Fan Jiuxiang didn't say anything perfunctory, her finger pointed at Shen Chuyun's face, and she didn't avoid the depression in her heart: "I mean you." Aren't you awake at this time? ”
"How do you interpret this?" Shen Chuyun smiled awkwardly, feeling both wronged and frightened, and the sweat on his forehead couldn't stop flowing.
Fan Jiuxiang analyzed at length: "Last year, you were removed from the Women's Promotion Association for some reasons that have nothing to do with your career, and you should be able to realize that this organization has always been faintly politically inclined. This is simply a tool for politicians to control people's speech, not a progressive organization for the survival of Chinese women! Speaking of this, he paused very strategically, just looking at Shen Chuyun's expression. If she is not moved at all, then I think that the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, and there is no need to say the words at the bottom.
However, Shen Chuyun's eyes clearly revealed a look of recognition.
Fan Jiuxiang bowed slightly, then eased his expression, and then continued: "But at that time, you were also young and had just come into contact with women's work, so you naturally lacked assertiveness. Now, I ask you to look back and see that it has been four years since the gradual proposition was proposed. As far as you can see, has there been any progress? ”
Shen Chuyun's heart was all about the old things that were revisited, and she didn't remember the focus of the controversy at that time, but she vaguely knew that Mrs. Yao had a lot of work to do about it.
