Chapter 35: You're a Journalist, Aren't You?

Seeing that there was another person, still holding the same idea as himself, the expression on Di Jian's face was very exciting.

If the young man had known what was actually going on, he didn't know how he would react.

Because I've been drenched in the rain, I want to break someone else's umbrella.

Di Jian suddenly looked forward to it.

However, after thinking about it, he gave up this plan, stuffed his sack into Xue Yi's hand, and said with a snicker: "Young man is good, I am very optimistic about you!" ”

If you can flicker, you can flicker!

I just happened to have turned over so many trash cans, and it was time for someone to take over.

I have to admit that Xue Yi's appearance was very timely.

Seeing this, Ye Xiangyang didn't bother to expose Di Jian's careful thoughts.

Xue Yi bumped into him by himself, and he had no intention of trapping him.

Di Jian, this guy clearly hid a knife in his smile.

On the other hand, Xue Yi was so encouraged by Di Jian, who was an old fritter, immediately felt that he was valued, and his blood boiled instantly.

Xue Yi didn't know Di Jian, but he saw him and Ye Xiangyang together, so he guessed that he was also a person from Jiangcheng Evening News, and he was also regarded as a "senior".

Seeing that these two people are willing to fight and suffer, you love me, Ye Xiangyang is even more lazy to say anything.

Let this junior brother who has not yet come out of the ivory tower see the sinister nature of society in advance!

In one morning, the harvest of the four people ended up in less than thirty dollars at the recycling station.

Not much, if not very little.

Maybe they didn't do it right.

But Ye Xiangyang didn't care.

In the end, the four people really had one ice cream each, and the rest of the money was divided into four equal parts by Ye Zixin, one for each person.

Di Jian accepted it happily.

This man is sophisticated and sleek!

On the contrary, Xue Yi refused to accept it.

I was already flattered to be able to eat ice cream.

Now I actually pay the money!

Even if it's a pitiful amount of money.

So far, Xue Yi still hasn't figured out the situation, and thinks that the morning is a simple public welfare activity.

may also be more restrained in front of Ye Xiangyang, a senior.

Ye Xiangyang likes this kind of person with a clean heart.

At noon, Di Jian and Xue Yi were specially invited to the house for dinner, and they called in advance, and the family was ready.

You can't really let people waste a morning.

After eating at noon, Ye Zixin muttered that she would continue to pick up bottles to make money in the afternoon, and Ye Xiangyang had a headache.

You can't really lead your little niece crookedly, right?

Graduated at the age of 20 and has 15 years of experience?

Thinking that after Ye Zixin grew up, he introduced himself like this during the interview, and Ye Xiangyang directly sweated profusely.

That picture......

It's unimaginable.

There was no way, so she could only try her best to coax her into going to Jiangqin's calligraphy interest class in the community in the afternoon.

After solving this matter, Ye Xiangyang took the initiative to talk to Di Jian and Xue Yi about his thoughts.

In the morning, Di Jian guessed correctly.

Ye Xiangyang does have the idea of doing an investigative report in this regard.

About the urban waste pickers.

However, the main purpose of the morning is indeed to accompany the little niece to experience life and inspect the situation by the way.

Hearing Ye Xiangyang say this, Di Jian instantly felt that he had made the right bet.

Fortunately, I didn't leave directly in the morning.

Xue Yi, on the other hand, was full of excitement, looked at Ye Xiangyang and asked, "Brother Ye, it was my inspection in the morning, right?" Now that I've passed the inspection, can I participate in your next project? ”

Ye Xiangyang couldn't help but hold his forehead.

This junior brother is a bit of a secondary two!

He had already confessed the situation in the morning just now, but he actually thought it was a kind of investigation of him.

Obviously, the difference between him and the other party is only a few years old, but Ye Xiangyang has a feeling of generation gap.

It seems to be out of touch with the times.

It's a bit hard to grasp the thoughts of their generation.

Sure enough, it's a three-year-old generation ditch.

In fact, this is good, at least the next task to be carried out, Xue Yi can implement his intentions.

Originally, Ye Xiangyang planned to ask the newspaper for help, after all, to carry out such a comprehensive and in-depth investigation, he alone would definitely not be able to do it.

At this time, Di Jian and Xue Yi came up by themselves and directly helped him solve the manpower problem.

There is no need for nothing, Ye Xiangyang does not have to be obsessed with drawing manpower from within the newspaper, and it is a big deal to share the results of the investigation.

Since cooperation can be a win-win situation, why blindly pursue exclusivity.

The main Ye Xiangyang knew that even if he found the director, he might not be able to get much support.

A turnip is a pit, and there is no idle manpower in the newspaper office, which can be drawn out to cooperate with him.

Since it was decided to let Di Jian and Xue Yi join, Ye Xiangyang directly said his complete thoughts.

At first, he just accompanied Ye Zixin to experience life, but Ye Xiangyang found that what he learned was quite interesting, although it was more common in life, he usually didn't pay much attention to it.

So, Ye Xiangyang made a summary video and posted it on the Internet to share it with netizens.

I didn't expect it to cause such a big reaction.

In the process of analyzing and researching why netizens are so interested in this kind of thing and have such a high degree of discussion, Ye Xiangyang found something more worth excavating.

Ye Xiangyang looked at the comment area last night and found that many netizens felt that the industry of picking up bottles was 10 to 5, leisurely, and without pressure...... It's a completely easy and very lucrative welfare industry.

In fact, there is a certain misunderstanding of this.

In other words, more netizens are ridiculing out of unverified ridicule.

Indeed, at present, the revenue in the field of resource recycling has exceeded 100 billion, but the real people who can make a lot of money from it are often some related enterprises and those who specialize in waste recycling.

They belong to the top and middle of the pyramid.

However, the pyramid always has a base.

Those scavengers are the lowest level of their field.

There may be a few people who can still make a lot of money, but the vast majority are far from so easy.

Among these people, they can be roughly divided into two kinds.

One is the elderly whose family is not difficult or even wealthy, and this kind of person may be seen in many communities.

Most of them are not really short of money.

It's just that as I grow older, I have an instinctive fear of the passage of time, coupled with the lack of family companionship, and I hope to get satisfaction through this way of "collecting things".

At the same time, it may also be because of the special historical stage of social turmoil, famine and extreme material scarcity, forming a psychological sense of deprivation and insecurity, and the concept of thrift and thrift is deeply rooted, and creating a sense of "wealth" and security by picking up bottles.

Another.

It is entirely due to the compulsion of life.

The daily harvest and sale into cash is only a meager income, which is not enough to bring about a change in the quality of their lives, and they can only continue to live a good life.

Most of them would not have chosen this lifestyle if they had other options.

The group that Ye Xiangyang wants to know more about is precisely the latter.

After listening to Ye Xiangyang's thoughts, Di Jian began to realize that Ye Xiangyang had already begun to prepare and had a deep understanding of it long before today.

It's really the right day.

Di Jian was a little excited.

This is clearly an opportunity for him.

As for Xue Yi.

It is already a very lucky and meaningful thing to be able to follow Ye Xiangyang and Di Jian, the two "seniors", and do something to accumulate experience.

No more words.

Their temporary three-person investigation team can be said to have been established without any suspense.

After pulling a small group, Ye Xiangyang negotiated with Di Jian and Xue Yi to assign tasks, and then began to act separately.

Ye Xiangyang went directly to the street to look for the scattered waste pickers, trying to conduct a deeper understanding and interview.

As a result, he found several target objects, and Ye Xiangyang tried to chat with them, but he was basically indifferent and ignored, especially after knowing Ye Xiangyang's identity as a reporter, he showed even more alienation and resistance.

Just started to encounter Waterloo directly, which was undoubtedly a blow to Ye Xiangyang.

However, Ye Xiangyang can also understand their reactions, perhaps they have suffered a certain degree of indifference, ridicule and even discrimination in their lives, so in order to protect themselves from being harmed, they have always been vigilant against strangers.

It's like the old scavenger I met in the community yesterday, although I had some conversations smoothly, most of what the other party said was irrelevant, and even some of them were nonsense.

After discovering this, Ye Xiangyang was just helpless and did not get angry because of it.

The other party lives by this, and how can they share their work experience with strangers who are new to it.

In desperation, Ye Xiangyang had no choice but to change his ways.

Abandon direct contact and interviews for the time being, and adopt observational interviews.

Express your sincerity without affecting the other party as much as possible, and observe and collect the most real and natural situations and details of the other party by following and coexisting.

Soon.

Ye Xiangyang noticed a special old man who was scavenging.

The other party's clothes are shabby and have several patches, but they are dressed relatively neatly, and there is no particularly sloppy feeling.

found that there was suddenly more people around him, and the other party was obviously a little defensive of Ye Xiangyang.

Seeing this, Ye Xiangyang didn't speak, smiled at him slightly, and released his kindness.

Even if the other party was still expressionless and indifferent in return, Ye Xiangyang didn't care.

It seemed that he found that Ye Xiangyang had no malicious intentions, and he didn't do anything disgusting to him, and the old man didn't have much reaction to Ye Xiangyang's next move.

Ye Xiangyang knew very well that it was not so easy to get the cooperation of the other party.

After getting along for an afternoon, although the two sides have not spoken, they seem to have a tacit understanding and do not interfere with each other.

Evening.

Ye Xiangyang followed the old man to the vicinity of his residence, stopped outside the other party's residence, and did not rashly ask to go in to find out.

Just as Ye Xiangyang turned around and was about to leave, the other party suddenly stopped him.

"You're a journalist, aren't you?"

"I, I want to donate some money!"
