Chapter 60 I Don't Want to Be Famous
Xu Jie had a dream that he became a big star, had a lot of film pay, many wives and concubines, and lots of children, and then he woke up happy.
He looked at the 70,000 yuan placed on the bedside, and felt very unhappy when he thought about having to pay back 60,000 yuan.
It’s worrying not to make money, but it’s even more worrying to have to spend the money you earn.
The main reason is that I feel unhappy . I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on just a few pieces of tattered clothes, which can neither satisfy my taste buds nor bring me any spiritual pursuit. It would be more comfortable to be called "Yutei" brother by others.
Only those who work hard can be the best, so just continue working.
Xu Jie came to the TV station, wrote today's work plan and handed it in.
"Xu Jie, are you free tonight?"
When coming out of the director's office, Zhou Miner found Xu Jie.
"Is there something?" Xu Jie asked while pouring water. He didn't know how many places he would have to go today, and a pot of hot water was essential in the cold winter.
"I want to go out and see if there is anything new to shoot." Zhou Min'er feels that if she wants to make a good program, sitting in the office all day is not the right way. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Only by going out can she have a comprehensive and profound understanding of things.
"I'm not free tonight. I need to do some skin care." Xu Jie said.
"Skin care?" Zhou Miner looked at Xu Jie in surprise, her eyes constantly examining his face.
"Do skin care?" Shi Fei, who had been quietly following behind, suddenly shouted loudly, "Hey, did you hear that? Xu Jie actually wants to do skin care. Haha, it's so funny."
"What's so funny about this? There are plenty of men in our station who go for skin care. Don't make a fuss about it." Zhang Mingliang gave Xu Jie a glare and said.
"The male host you're talking about relies on his face to make a living, so of course he needs to take care of his skin." Shi Fei turned to look at Xu Jie and said sarcastically, "You're a reporter, running around all day, so you can just apply some Dabao. Why do you need to take care of your skin? Do you think you're going to be so proud of yourself because you can host the Winter Solstice special program? I think you're crazy about becoming famous!"
After hearing this, Xu Jie sighed deeply and said, "Alas, I don't want to be famous, but there is no way. My wife insisted on taking me to Shenzhou City to participate in a film festival this weekend. What can I do?"
"Film festival? Is it the Shenzhou Film Festival?" Zhang Huihui asked excitedly.
"Yes." Xu Jie nodded.
"Wow, Shenzhou Film Festival is the last film festival of the year. Many big stars will attend. I envy you so much." Zhang Huihui was very excited.
"I heard that our station's entertainment channel has sent a reporting team to Shenzhou City." Liu Ting said.
"Xiao Xu, do you want to walk the red carpet with Su Yun? That would be much more glamorous than hosting our show."
“…”
Shi Fei's face had turned black and he stood there awkwardly. He had just laughed at the other party for wanting to be a famous host, but it turned out that the other party was going directly to attend the film festival. Not only would he appear on TV, but he would also appear in the news and be photographed by major media outlets. The impact would definitely exceed serving the people's livelihood.
Humph, isn't he just a gigolo? What's so great about that? Do you really think you're a big shot?
"Xu Jie, come here." Wang Jingmin suddenly called out while standing outside the office door.
Xu Jie came to the director's office.
"What is it, Director?"
Wang Jingmin pointed to the work plan on the table and asked, "Are you going to the Municipal Heating Office today?"
"Yes." Xu Jie replied.
"Do you know how many calls I have received from various municipal bureaus complaining about you this year?" Wang Jingmin was very serious and helpless.
This is how it is in the news industry. The more capable a person is, the more willing they are to stir up trouble. But if they are not allowed to do it, the news will have no content. If they are allowed to do it, they will offend people. They will call the station leader directly to complain, and even she, a small director of the column group, cannot stand it.
"6?" Xu Jie thought for a moment and said, but he was not quite sure.
"You knew there were six?" Wang Jingmin rolled his eyes at the junior brother in front of him and said, "The people in our column team put together don't have as many as you alone."
"Director, are you praising me for being more exploratory than them?" Xu Jie asked shyly.
"I want you to know what it means to stop when enough is enough!" Wang Jingmin said unhappily, "I'm going to make a rule for you. City-level units can go to interview, but don't interfere with their normal work. Do you understand?"
"I understand. I will do whatever the leader says. " Xu Jie nodded seriously.
"Okay, let's go." Wang Jingmin waved her hand.
"yes."
Xu Jie left the director's office, went back to his workstation to put on his clothes, picked up his water bottle, and called Zhang Mingliang to leave the program team.
Behind him, a trace of loneliness flashed in Zhou Miner's eyes.
Shi Fei looked at Xu Jie's back viciously, and after the other party left, he also walked out.
"Shi Fei, where are you going? We are going to interview." Liu Ting called.
"Wait a minute, I'll make a call." Shi Fei came to the corridor and saw Xu Jie enter the elevator. Then he came to the emergency passage and reported to Wu Hao.
"Mr. Wu..."
"What's the matter again?" Wu Hao asked impatiently. He already regretted asking this man to keep an eye on reporter Xu. He was simply a troublemaker.
"Mr. Wu, Xu Jie is going to Shenzhou City this weekend to attend the Shenzhou Film Festival. He's so proud of himself that he's almost getting cocky. He really should be taught a lesson." Shi Fei said jealously.
"Shenzhou Film Festival?" Wu Hao was slightly stunned.
Could it be that reporter Xu really plans to enter the entertainment industry?
He thought about the online troll army. It seemed that Su Lei, the military strategist, had guessed right this time.
In this way, reporter Xu was cleared of the suspicion of deliberately using fans to frame the bar.
"You don't have to keep an eye on reporter Xu anymore." The doubts in Wu Hao's mind disappeared.
"Ah? Why?" Shi Fei asked puzzledly.
Wu Hao frowned. If you don't want it, then don't want it. Why should I tell you why? Who the hell do you think you are?
“No reason!” Wu Hao hung up the phone angrily. Why does he always meet idiots?
Shi Fei stared at his phone in a daze, wondering if there was no reason then why?
Not going to deal with Xu Jie anymore?
He carefully recalled what he had said and did not try to clear Xu Jie. So why did Mr. Wu let Xu Jie go?
…
Xu Jie arrived at the Municipal Heating Office. After he revealed his identity as a reporter from Beijing TV Station, a deputy director named Liu Heliang immediately appeared to receive him.
"Deputy Director Liu, the heating problem in old residential areas has become a long-standing problem. The heating standards are almost always not met in the first one and a half months of each year. The heating company's response is that they are either repairing the pipes or on the way to repair the pipes. I would like to ask if the Municipal Heating Office has ever thought about replacing the pipes in those old residential areas?"
After some preparation, Xu Jie again brought up the issue of replacing pipelines.
"We have also discussed this method in our heating office, but because replacing pipes is too difficult, it was not implemented in the end." Liu Heliang kept smiling in front of the camera.
"What's the difficulty of this?" Xu Jie asked.
"This difficulty is mainly divided into two parts. One part is the renovation of the secondary lines outside the old residential areas. There are many old residential areas in Beijing, and the amount of work is very large. Moreover, these old residential areas are basically located in the urban area. Large-scale construction will have a great impact on Beijing's traffic."
Xu Jie nodded as he listened. This deputy director surnamed Liu was obviously more capable than the two he had met before. He spoke with reason and evidence. Although he meant the same thing, the way he said it gave people a different feeling. At least it didn't sound like he was being perfunctory.
"The other part is also the most difficult, which is the replacement of internal pipes in the community buildings. In the past, old communities all used vertical pipe heating inside the buildings, and these pipes are in the residents' homes. Replacement requires cooperation between the upstairs and downstairs families. Even if there is no one in a unit, the pipes cannot be replaced. Reporter Xu, you should understand the situation in old communities. Some houses are not occupied at all. We are powerless in such situations."
Liu Heliang spread out his hands, and his meaning was very clear: It’s not our problem, it’s the residents’ problem.
The problem was thrown back to Xu Jie again!
