Chapter 253 Experience the Pleasure of Being Famous
Reporter Yuan was still muttering to himself, wasn't this the last thing you reviewed? You passed the review, but in the end, the fault became mine?
He was murmuring in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.
He could only be honest and try his best to reduce his sense of presence, so as not to be beaten as a standout.
But as time passed, news of water shortages in various places continued to spread, and even superior leaders went to the countryside to conduct drought relief inspections.
Reporter Yuan suddenly felt that he had made the right bet.
It's really a severe drought.
He then went to various rural areas to cover and report on the damage caused by the recent disaster.
Facing the scene, he no longer knew how to describe it.
Deep down in his heart, he actually longed for such a drought, which would prove that Xu Erlong was right, and that he was right to publish such a report despite the risk.
But when he was in the fields, seeing how severe the disaster was, and how everyone was braving the scorching sun to fight the drought and provide disaster relief, reporter Yuan hoped that the drought would not be so severe so that everyone could have a harvest.
With such a mood, Reporter Yuan felt like he was being roasted on fire.
On the Qian'an Commune side, Party Secretary Li, as a representative, summed up with his superiors: "Although this year's drought is serious, everyone is still relatively prepared, relying on early warnings, relying on the pools stored in the early stage, and relying on the water pumps.
We pumped water day and night, so the losses were not huge."
"Not bad, not bad." The superior leader praised: "You have done a good job. You can give early warning and make preparations for drought prevention and disaster relief in advance. It is worthy of praise."
If the disaster is serious, his life will be difficult.
Reporter Yuan finally experienced the pleasure of becoming famous.
He walked as if he were stepping on cotton, light and airy.
He became a pioneer reporter for the newspaper and an uncrowned hero who bravely reported the facts despite pressure.
Everyone praises him for his vision and his keen sense of news.
Reporter Yuan smiled bitterly, "Oh, I am really worried about becoming famous."

After completing the college entrance examination, Xu Erlong also felt that he had lifted a big stone off his shoulders.
After recovering from the stressful college entrance examination, Xu Erlong began to shift his focus to department stores.
He had been thinking about solutions to the cash flow problem that Yu Ping told him last time.
How to solve it is, of course, a loan.
Xu Erlong put his hands in his pockets and took Wen Ye with him, walking slowly on the road.
I walked from here to the other end of the street, thinking about it, then turned back and slowly walked back this way.
It takes courage to walk around in the sun on such a hot day.
Wen Ye didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he just wanted to go shopping with him.
Xu Erlong bought Tianfu Coke, one bottle for each person, and the two of them smoked Coke and walked on the street.
On the third trip, I finally met Mr. Xu.
"Comrade Xu Erlong." President Xu called him.
Xu Erlong, who was still walking slowly like a tortoise, immediately quickened his pace and wanted to go farther.
"Comrade Xu Erlong." President Xu raised his voice and chased after him: "Don't leave in a hurry."
Xu Erlong suddenly looked like he had just heard it: "Oh, Mr. Xu, I'm so sorry, I didn't hear it just now."
President Xu smiled and said: "Comrade Xu Erlong, you are too uninteresting."
Xu Erlong pretended to be confused, pretending to understand: "Oh, Mr. Xu, I really didn't hear you calling me clearly just now."
Mr. Xu smiled and said, "You know I didn't mean it that way."
He wiped the sweat from his face and neck and said to Xu Erlong: "We'd better find a cool place to sit and talk."
What do you call talking about things on the street in this summer?
The three of them finally sat down in the state-owned hotel. Xu Erlong was generous and bought three bottles of drinks from the nearby beverage shop and invited Mr. Xu to drink them.
"How embarrassing is this? I should invite you, I will." said Mr. Xu.
"Oh, I can still afford a bottle of drink." Xu Erlong chuckled.
President Xu suddenly became resentful: "Of course, I know you can afford it. Now that you have a lot of money, you no longer recognize me as a friend. You don't even handle deposits with me."
When the department store opened last time, Xu Erlong clearly promised to come to him later, but in the end, he didn't come at all.
And, most importantly, he actually deposited the department store's daily business money in other savings banks.
This is where Mr. Xu feels most resentful.
Did he not give Xu Erlong enough loans?
Or is his friendship with Xu Erlong not deep enough?
Or is it because you haven’t invited Xu Erlong to drink?
"President Xu, you are too serious." Xu Erlong admitted his mistake sincerely.
"Then when do you plan to get the deposits to my bank?" President Xu asked.
"To be honest, President Xu, I have problems with my current liquidity. The savings bank over there has made it clear that it is willing to give me some support. I am really embarrassed to transfer my deposits from them."
Xu Erlong said: "Look, I couldn't see you just now, so I had to hide away."
Wen Ye took a sharp sip of Coca-Cola and almost choked.
Well, the two of them walked back and forth several times hiding in the sun.
President Xu patted his chest and said: "Comrade Xu Erlong, what you say is too hurtful. They can support you, but our bank can't support you? Tell me, what kind of support do you need? I will definitely support you."
"
Xu Erlong slowly stated his plan: "I want your bank to lend me a loan."
"That's no problem." President Xu smiled and said, "No matter what, I'll lend you some more. How much do you plan to lend?"
"Two and a half million."
"What?" President Xu almost fell off his chair.
Wen Ye was also choked and speechless.
"Comrade Xu Erlong, please say it again." President Xu sat up straight.
"I said, I want a loan of 2.5 million." Xu Erlong replied.
The richest man originally borrowed 2.5 million, so of course he had to borrow that much.
"Stop joking, Comrade Xu Erlong." President Xu smiled bitterly: "This joke is not funny."
"President Xu, I'm not joking." Xu Erlong rubbed his face, trying to make his face look more serious.
He listed them one by one to Mr. Xu: "Think about it, my department store has only invested so much in the early stage, and its monthly turnover is hundreds of thousands. How can its annual turnover be only one hundred thousand?"
How many thousand, right? If I use this department store as collateral, can't I still get a loan of 2.5 million?"
Anyway, he didn't care. The richest man had borrowed so much, so he had to borrow so much.
If the loan cannot be obtained, it only proves that one step was not done well, and he can just do that step well.
"What did you borrow so much for?" asked Governor Xu.
Usually when they offer loans to other customers, they refuse to lend them money as if they are dying.
But Xu Erlong seems to have become addicted to borrowing money, and now he directly asked for 2.5 million.
