Chapter 387: Liu Ruoyan in Action
After dinner, Zhao Man Ting had no intention of letting Qin Huairu stay.
Yang Qing also wasn't in the mood to mess around with Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu then left together with Long Wu and them.
They went to the accommodation arranged for them by Yang Rong.
On Gangdao, not everyone can afford a villa.
They had to start over from scratch, striving for their own livelihood.
Qin Huairu also had no intention of resting; she decided to follow Long Wu and them to Shunfeng to help.
Now only Shunfeng could accommodate so many people.
The matter concerning the elderly lady made Yang Qing's mood especially heavy.
After arriving at the news office, everyone sensed Yang Qing's mood.
Pang Long originally didn't want to bother Yang Qing at this time, but the news office's management model is very flat, and Yang Qing also serves as editor-in-chief, so they had to find him.
Pang Long brought the latest version of the template and came to Yang Qing's desk.
Yang Qing looked up and saw him.
"What's up?"
Pang Long handed the draft to him.
"See if this works for tomorrow's newspaper?"
Yang Qing opened it, took a look; although there were many headlines, there was no major news.
They are the headline; what's a headline without headline news?
Yang Qing lifted the teacup and took a sip.
He patted the sample newspaper.
"The courage is still too small; we are the headline, we must have hot news."
Yang Qing pointed to a report.
"Cases like this murder happen often; there's nothing special about them anymore."
"A brief report will do, unless it's a sensational major case."
"Find a way to recruit some frontline personnel and make Yingjiang's war into a special section."
"This hot topic can last many years."
"Also recruit some military commentators to give slightly more professional commentary on both sides' actions."
"How can ordinary people understand military operations? We need someone to explain it."
Yang Qing is again trying to ride Yingjiang's heat, and intends to keep doing so.
Pang Long knows this boss's temperament; since he said it, he will definitely do it.
He didn't try to dissuade him further, because the headline had already taken the first wave of Yingjiang's heat, and the followers were countless; now Gangdao's newspapers all have much greater boldness.
So Yang Qing is now doing a special feature; among a bunch of newspapers chasing heat, there's actually no problem.
After Pang Long and Yang Qing discussed the matter, they went to contact an intermediary to recruit frontline reporters.
Actually, many people from Zhancheng really like this job; revealing a bit of the battlefield situation isn't a big problem, and they can earn money—why not?
"Another method is to scrape other big newspapers' news reports, modify them slightly, and pass them off as one's own publication."
Yang Qing feels no psychological burden about this.
Actually, this is very common in the news industry.
It's just that they can't get firsthand news.
After Pang Long went to work, Yang Qing sat at his workstation, feeling uncomfortable all over.
He felt that the newspaper's development was still too slow; the main reason was his insufficient funds, making rapid expansion impossible.
Moreover, Gangdao is still too small, limiting his scope.
After much thought, Yang Qing decided to still take up his old line of business and reap the benefits of Yingjiang's rapid development.
Currently, the fastest-developing industry on Gangdao is textiles.
While the home appliance industry is just beginning to explode.
Yang Qing is preparing to give it a try.
But everything must wait until he saves some money.
"Loans? He cannot take loans."
Now who knows how many people are waiting for him to make a mistake.
Gangdao is now exactly the time when appliances are rising; radio OEM production is in the hundreds of thousands per year.
He also counts as keeping up with the trend.
For his new project, Yang Qing brought Ahui to stroll the shopping mall for a day, looking at all kinds of appliances.
In the end, he confirmed that it could still be done.
Little Japan just released microwave ovens this year; Yingjiang still doesn't have them.
Yang Qing felt he could find someone to discuss OEM matters with those in Little Japan who are doing well.
First OEM, then learn, then himself counterfeit.
Gangdao's radios follow roughly the same pattern: first OEM the radios that Little Japan does well with, then secretly learn to counterfeit; when Little Japan, doing well, discovers the problem and bans the import of parts, they immediately substitute using Yingjiang and Yinglian parts.
Ultimately, this allowed Gangdao's radios to develop for several decades.
Later, watches were similar.
Little Japan, doing well, produced electronic watches; Gangdao immediately started up.
"And Yingjiang and Yinglian are their resource reserve."
Yang Qing finally set his target on Liu Ru Yan.
After Hou Liu came over, he told Yang Rong about Liu Ru Yan.
Yang Rong turned around and told him to be careful.
Now Yang Qing felt he could observe a bit.
Check whether this woman, after arriving in Gangdao, has developed second thoughts, then decide.
During this period, he could just use it to save money.
He sent Aling to tail them.
Liu Ru Yan was busy with Qin Huairu at a goods point.
Since both were literate, handling some documents was no problem.
They stayed busy until around eight or nine at night before they relaxed.
After returning home and eating, Liu Ru Yan pulled Qin Huairu out the door.
Qin Huairu was very resistant.
"Liu Sis, going out this late at night is dangerous; Yang Qing told me that Gangdao is not peaceful at night."
"Let's go back; if Yang Qing finds out, I'll get a beating."
Liu Ru Yan didn't let go.
"Don't worry, I'm here; come with me to a place, and I'll teach you how to seduce Yang Qing."
"Think about it: now you're not favored by Zhao Man Ting; when Chen Hong comes, will there still be a place for you there?"
"With my guidance, I guarantee you'll be able to handle Yang Qing."
Qin Huairu still didn't want to go, but after Liu Ru Yan repeatedly emphasized it, her mind relaxed a bit.
"Why don't you let Lan Zhi accompany you?"
Liu Ru Yan's eyes shifted.
"Lan Zhi is too young and immature; you're more suitable."
Qin Huairu's face darkened.
"You're just feeling sorry for your daughter, not for me, right?"
Liu Ru Yan pulled her.
"Oh come on, we're both experienced; besides, you have Yang Qing's protection—worst case, we can just invoke his name."
Qin Huairu still didn't want to go, but Liu Ru Yan kept pulling and tugging, step by step, they walked away.
Actually, deep down, she still wanted to see it.
Under the streetlamp, two dusky women held a map, looking left and right.
"It should be right here; why can't I see it?"
Qin Huairu asked.
"What exactly are you looking for?"
Liu Ru Yan ignored her, ran around with the map, but still couldn't find the place she was looking for.
She felt dejected, and took Qin Huairu back.
Under the streetlamp, the two walked in step.
Meanwhile, they took in the flashy world.
Under the night sky, Gangdao was beautiful, with red lights and green wine.
As they walked, the two women became entranced.
"I never expected Gangdao's night to be so beautiful."
"Qin Huairu, you've come far—a country girl with three kids, managing to attach yourself to someone like Yang Qing; that's blessings earned over eight lifetimes."
