Chapter 003: Work, Family, and Music

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Yang Qian's writing skills are undoubtedly exceptional, and it is precisely for this reason that even before he reported to the unit, he was already noticed by Teacher Ouyang Cheng, who specifically requested him to come over

Yang Qian simply opened his computer, flipped open his notebook, put on his headphones, and began to focus intently on his viewing.

It would be better for her to follow another group of teachers to cover the special news for the city representative conference

However, this guitar does not have any sense of age; it was just purchased online by Yang Qian a few days ago, and he has not yet had the opportunity to find a suitable place for it.

However, the musical instrument is merely a medium for providing accompaniment. Now, for Yang Qian, he is more eager to sing, to sing the new song he has acquired after the graduation ceremony

A girl in a school uniform with ear-length short hair and a delicate appearance opened the door ahead of him and exclaimed excitedly

He also has it, and the teacher said that there are only two people in their family, so they cannot eat that much

The one who gives money is Ouyang Cheng

Teacher Liao was Yang Qian's biology teacher in the past and is now also the homeroom teacher of Yang Shihan. Every year during the New Year, Yang Qian invites Teacher Liao to dinner, hoping that Teacher Liao will take good care of his sister.

Yang Shihan leaned over curiously and caught sight of the contents inside the box, her eyes suddenly brightening.

At the foot of the bed in the bedroom, there is also a guitar leaning at an angle.

If that is the case, can the music industry that Yang Qian likes be revitalized?

Yang Qian immediately thought of the key point within this

So much, aren't you going to leave any for your teacher to eat

"Work hard, it's the last year, make a final push and see if you can get into Tsinghua or Peking University." Yang Qian also has high hopes for his sister

Well, the Hejiang chicken beak lychee is now on the market, and I have heard that it is selling quite well. Moreover, this year, Shunfeng Express has established partnerships with many farmers, enabling direct cold chain delivery, ensuring that it remains fresh when shipped nationwide

It is true, however, online stores have long been established. This time, our focus in the interview should still be on the issue of last-mile delivery for agricultural products through express delivery to rural areas and the solutions provided by cold chain logistics.

Yang Qian turned his head and gazed deeply at the tapes and records on his bookshelf, reflecting on the musical era he admired and longed for, a time when music was simply music

Like Yang Qian, although running news during the day is quite exhausting, the evenings are mostly his own time. Even the news article he interviewed today was completed during the more than one hour he spent on the road.

Moreover, in front of the two upper layers of the cassette, there are several broken portable cassette players displayed on a beautiful crystal (actually plastic) shelf

While they were still chatting, Yang Shihan, who had been mentioned, could no longer wait and quickly picked a bunch, leaning over to the nearby trash can and began to eat.

Certainly, Yang Shihan's studies do not require Yang Qian's concern, as this girl performs even better than he did during his high school years, routinely ranking in the top ten of her grade in monthly exams.

Then I will set my goal to Tsinghua and Peking University. Although I may not necessarily get in, at least I want to protect my brother's leg, hehe! Yang Shihan sat up straight in her chair, indicating that she wanted to adopt a serious attitude, yet she was still sneaking a laugh.

The one you mentioned earlier seems to be one grade younger than Hanhang

Why not consider studying at South China University? I am following in my brother's footsteps to attend your alma mater Yang Shihan is still very mischievous

It can be said that Yang Qian is quite fortunate to have such an impressive teacher as soon as he arrives at the workplace

After having dinner, he accompanies his parents for a walk and a chat. Once they go back to dance in the square, he still has time to talk with his younger sister Yang Shihan and inquire about her studies

However, her relationship with Yang Qian has always been very good

Yang Qian had previously encountered a scene where the deputy director of the unit respectfully addressed Ouyang Cheng as "Teacher Ouyang".

Mom, my brother is back

It should be resolved this weekend, and Yang Qian will not allow it to be left carelessly on the ground

She also forgot which year it started, and Yang Shihan felt embarrassed, so she did not jump onto her brother again

The National Copyright Trading Center version 1.0 system has officially launched. The system relies on the vast array of high-quality program resources from the Central Radio and Television Station and integrates multiple channels of legitimate audio and video resources, combining the latest achievements in media technologies such as 5G, 4K/8K, and AI to create a comprehensive copyright trading platform that encompasses functions such as copyright registration, inquiry, confirmation of rights, and authorization

Yang Shihan has actually just returned as well. She usually stays in the school dormitory. A few days ago, her brother came home and took a glance at her at school, but after all, it was just a glance, and she didn't have the opportunity to have a proper conversation with her brother

Are you going to the countryside again? Why does your teacher always take you to cover news in rural areas? Isn't there something happening in the city every day? Why not report on those news instead?

He is not only a seasoned journalist but also an essayist, having published two books and received a national literary award, holding a prominent position in the literary circle of Hecheng

The difficulty of copyright protection is considerable, and Yang Qian cannot be optimistic

Yang Qian walked in carrying a large box

Life in a small city is relatively simple, and the pace is also quite slow

... ...

Another girl who joined the news department at the same time does not envy him, because Ouyang Cheng enjoys going to rural towns, and following him can be quite tough, making it difficult to stand out.

Teacher, is there any news about our trip to Hejiang

Today's interview went relatively smoothly, and Yang Qian returned to the city at around 5:30 PM

It is Friday, and he is in a hurry to go to school to pick up his daughter and bring her home

At that moment, she also reached out her hand to help her brother move the large box he was holding

Unable to hold back any longer, Yang Qian took off his headphones, stood up, and went to the foot of the bed to retrieve the new guitar he had just bought. He then sat on the bed and gently began to caress it

... ...

Only two people? What about his wife

This guitar is rather ordinary, and its sound quality is somewhat inferior to that of Old Mu's guitar at the previous graduation ceremony. After all, Yang Qian is not very knowledgeable about guitars; he was in a hurry to use one and simply chose one online.

There are no other plans this weekend, so you should go back and rest well

After finishing his conversation with his younger sister, Yang Qian decided not to disturb her studies any further. He returned to his own bedroom to prepare to rewatch today's news broadcast.

Moreover, Yang Qian is very low-key and has politely declined the calls from reporters of Yangcheng media who wanted to interview him, making it even less likely for everyone to know that Yang Qian has caused such a significant stir online

The portable cassette player and tapes provided Yang Qian with his earliest musical enlightenment

Today, Yang Qian arrived at the television station early. Before he could even settle into his chair, the veteran journalist Ouyang Cheng entered, carrying a briefcase in one hand and a thermos in the other.

Through the glass, one can see neatly arranged rows of vintage cassettes and records inside

Well, it is also from No. 1 Middle School

Oh, brother! It's super sweet and super delicious

Later, Yang Qian went to Yangcheng to attend university, while Yang Shihan gradually transformed from a wild girl into a graceful young lady on the verge of entering her third year of high school.

There are two bookshelves in the bedroom, and the old-fashioned solid wood bookshelf with glass doors is completely empty of books

I don't know, it seems that they have divorced, my teacher is raising his daughter alone

He stared blankly for a long time, his heart stirred, unable to contain his emotions

Mother Hong Xiaoxia came out of the kitchen and, seeing the large patches of sweat on her son's back and his sunburned face, couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache

Although there is no one to supervise oneself after leaving school, as a professional journalist, whether it is understanding major domestic and international events, maintaining a keen sense of news, or learning the most formal current affairs reporting and the most concise language expression, watching the news broadcast remains an essential task for him every day

When she was young, Yang Shihan was very fond of clinging to her older brother, often jumping onto her brother who was six years older than her, hanging on him like a koala.

Yang Qian smiled as he placed the box he was holding in the kitchen and opened it

Then the sales channels will be opened! In the past, it was necessary to sell to distributors and to those who purchase in bulk. Now, one can directly open an online store, and when someone places an order online, they can go to the orchard to pick the fruit and ship it on the spot, saving the costs of the intermediary. The income of the fruit farmers should increase significantly

With your grades, if you only wish to follow in my footsteps, I fear that if Teacher Liao finds out, he will have to break my legs, thus leading students astray!" Yang Qian also laughed.

Yang Qian has spoken with the teacher and learned that he has a daughter who is currently in high school, attending the same school as his younger sister, Yang Shihan, although Yang Shihan is one grade ahead of her

There are also such benefits to interviewing in rural areas, as they can purchase some fresh and inexpensive fruits or other agricultural products

Oh? It's lychee!

Is the country beginning to pay more attention to copyright protection and intensifying the crackdown on piracy

Yang Qian was unable to glean more information from these few short sentences. As a novice reporter, he also had no way of knowing the thoughts of senior leaders and the direction of their policies

The news from rural areas is profound; the country is now emphasizing rural poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, with major inspections often taking place in the countryside

When Yang Shihan was called, she immediately came to open the door

... ...

However, each time he distributed most of the fruit to Yang Qian, the photographer, and the driver, keeping only a small portion for himself

All of these are genuine, coming from Yang Qian's former business dealings, and later from his uncle Hong Yingjun, who lost everything. Seeing Yang Qian's fondness for them, he gave all of his collections to Yang Qian

However, even among those in the news industry, my old colleagues show little interest in these topics of trending discussions that have yet to gain widespread attention, and they are hardly exposed to them

However, he also hopes that the Chinese music scene can once again achieve the brilliance of the record era, just like they did

Yang Qian, sitting in front of the computer, suddenly began to read softly

The glow of the screen flickered on his face; however, beyond the glow, Yang Qian's bedroom was simple and tidy

Yang Qian did not think much of it; as soon as the teacher spoke, he immediately put down what he was holding, hurriedly tidied up, grabbed a computer bag, and quickly followed to catch the bus

Xiao Yang, prepare yourself, we are going to Hejiang

After returning home, Yang Qian arrived at the office early to report for duty, quickly integrating into his new identity as a city-level television reporter who follows teachers daily to cover news.

Ouyang Cheng drove his own car, taking Yang Qian to the intersection outside their residential community, and then hurriedly left

Here, not many people have watched Yang Qian's videos, and even if they have, they would not guess that Yang Qian is from Hecheng

On the vehicle, Yang Qian could not help but ask curiously

Yang Qian wanted to return the money to the teacher, but Ouyang Cheng refused, stating that Yang Qian had just arrived and was still in the internship phase, thus he did not have much money.

I am coming, I am coming, you just need to close the door

However, Teacher Ouyang is quite exceptional

Well, today we are interviewing a fruit orchard that produces chicken beak lychee. Mom, there are so many here, we definitely can't finish them all. Do you think we should share some with Aunt and Uncle?

In the bustling metropolis of Yangcheng, the winds are stirring, yet the small city of Hecheng remains calm and tranquil

Of course, initially they intended to give it to them, but Ouyang Cheng refused to accept it for free and insisted on paying. Later, the owner of the orchard only charged a little above the cost price.

Ouyang Cheng is actually just in his early fifties; it is unclear whether it is due to his long-term engagement in copywriting, but more than half of his hair has turned gray, giving him a rather haggard appearance

Ouyang Cheng patiently guided
