Chapter 174: Telephone Interview

When I left the lottery station and returned to the editorial office, everyone else had already left work, and only Zheng Yi was still there.

Seeing me come back, Zheng Yi greeted me and said, "What's the matter? What were the results of the interview? ”

I said, "I'll wait for the results of the phone interview in the evening." ”

Zheng Yi said: "Didn't you go out for an interview a long time ago? Why do you need a phone interview? ”

I said: "The other party is a woman, a little timid, a little cautious, I don't want others to know that she has won the lottery, and finally after discussion, she reluctantly agreed to a telephone interview in the evening." ”

Zheng Yi asked, "What do people look like?" ”

I said, "It doesn't matter what it looks like, it's a net worth of five million!" ”

Zheng Yi said: "Then you can't be too sorry for the audience!" ”

I deliberately teased him and said, "People are beautiful, what's the matter, are you tempted?" ”

Zheng Yi said: "It's a beauty again, and it's five million, who can not be tempted!" Can you keep an eye on me! ”

I joked, "Can you do it?" That's a Russian beauty with a net worth of five million! ”

Zheng Yi smiled and said, "Why can't I do it?" My grandfather and I have eight out of twenty, I have a good image, no stains, and I am a virgin, why can't I be worthy? ”

I was amused by him and said, "Good, worthy!" If it's possible, I'll help you! ”

Zheng Yi said: "Then it's decided, I'll go to buy wine and food, which can be regarded as thanking you as a matchmaker in advance." ”

I said, "What if I drink your wine?" ”

Zheng Yi said: "As the saying goes, if you can't make it, I have to do it first with three bottles of wine!" ”

Zheng Yi went out with his front foot, and the phone rang with his back foot.

The call was actually from the lady who won the welfare lottery.

"Are you that handsome reporter from The Star? I'm done with dinner, and I'm waiting for you to call for an interview, why don't you call? ”

"Aha, that's right, you're eating dinner so early, it's only six o'clock, and I haven't eaten dinner yet."

"I eat dinner at half past five, which is very regular. Are you going to interview me now? Otherwise, you come to me, near my house, and I invite you to dinner, and you interview me. ”

I said, "Then you don't have to, it's far away, besides, I've already made an appointment for dinner here, so I can't break the appointment." Let's just do that, I'll interview you now, half an hour, okay? ”

As I spoke, I took out a pen and paper to prepare for the record.

"What about me, surnamed Wang, I won't say my name, I'm about to be thirty years old, single, personal image, you have seen it, it's still a good ......"

I said, "It's not important, you should talk about your work and life first." ”

She hesitated a little on the phone and said: "I live with my parents, they are both retired, and I work as a temporary worker in a small factory in the street, and my monthly salary is only seven or eight hundred, plus the living allowance for poor households, a total of more than 1,000 points." ”

I said, "It seems that your family is not rich either." ”

She said, "Where is not rich? It is simply the poorest miserable household in Nanyue City! My brothers and sisters have all started a family, so I live with my parents and live together. ”

I asked, "You're in your thirties, why haven't you started a family?" ”

She said, "How can it be so easy to start a family? I can't look down on those with low conditions, and I can't look down on those with high conditions, so it's delayed. I also don't want to live with my parents in their housing. I dreamed of having money and having a place to live of my own......"

I said, "Well, now that you have so much money all at once, your dream has come true!" ”

She said, "Yes, I learned yesterday that I had won the jackpot, and I was laughing and crying in my dreams at night." ”

I said, "Five million, that's an astronomical number!" You want a house, you want to live a good life, that's so easy! ”

She said: "Yes, but you have to pay taxes for winning the lottery, I heard that it is 20 percent, at least 1 million taxes have to be paid, and it will be 4 million when you get it." ”

I said, "Four million is a lot of money!" Enough for you to enjoy life! ”

She said: "That's right, enough to buy a decent house, and you don't have to mess around with your parents anymore." Are you also single? ”

I said, "Yes, but it has nothing to do with interviewing you." ”

She said, "It can also be related." It is not easy for you to come from the north to work hard in our southern Guangdong. I think you're a good person, why don't we two drag it out? I have money here and no house, enough for the two of us to live together......"

I didn't expect her to be so direct, and it scared me.

I said, "I'm just interviewing, I'm working, I don't have anything else in mind, please forgive me!" ”

She said: "You interview, work, and make a living, so why can't you think about it?" ”

I casually said, "I have a girlfriend!" ”

She said, "That's right, that's how much I'm thinking, I'm sorry!" Do you have anything else to interview? ”

I said, "My interview hasn't started yet." I want to ask you, with this big sum of money, what do you want to do the most? ”

She said: "Of course it's to buy a house, and if you buy a house, you can have your own independent place to live!" ”

I asked, "It's a good thing to be independent and don't have to be crowded with your parents anymore, but is there any arrangement for your parents?" ”

"Of course I have, after all, I was born and raised by them, and I will spend more money to honor them and improve their lives!"

I asked again, "When you won the jackpot, have you ever thought about doing something for the public good, that is, doing good deeds?" For example, donating to the disabled, orphanages, etc.? ”

As he was talking, Zheng Yi came back with wine and food, and when he saw me on the phone, he quietly eavesdropped on the side.

As he was talking, Zheng Yi came back with wine and food, and when he saw me on the phone, he quietly eavesdropped on the side.

I said into the microphone, "That's good, it's doing good." Although it is a small amount of money, it is also a manifestation of your return to society, which is worthy of recognition! ”

She said: "It seems that you, a reporter, are a reporter who doesn't brag, and if you speak truthfully, you must be honest when you write articles." I don't want to make a noise, and I don't want people to know, I didn't tell my parents and siblings, let's live a low-key life. You're going to keep it a secret for me! ”

I said, "Don't worry, I won't leak secrets, I wish you a happy life!" ”

As soon as I hung up the phone, Zheng Yi pointed at me and said, "Hung up so soon?" ”

I said, "Hang up, the interview is over!" ”

Zheng Yi said: "It's another front-page headline, right? ”

I said, "I guess it's a second-page headline at best." ”

Zheng Yi said: "Why do you say that? ”

Zheng Yi deliberately moved the wine bottle on the table and said, "Don't be in a hurry to drink!" You've finished the interview, but you haven't contacted me yet. ”

Zheng Yi deliberately moved the wine bottle on the table and said, "Don't be in a hurry to drink!" You've finished the interview, but you haven't contacted me yet. ”

I said, "I can't talk about you during the interview!" Well, I'll give you the phone and you can contact her directly. ”

Zheng Yi obviously knew that I was joking, and said: "You are not sincere, forget it, don't want it, I gave up, isn't it just a beautiful rich woman, there will be in the future." Let's have a drink with each other. ”
