Chapter 390

In the editing room of the 'Jiangcheng City Daily', Su Xinghui saw Zhang Bin. Zhang Bin was writing a draft. Seeing Su Xinghui arrive, he put down his pen, poured tea for Su Xinghui, and said, "What's wrong? Is there anything I can help with?"

Su Xinghui told Zhang Bin his purpose. Zhang Bin said, "Our provincial calligraphy and painting exhibition on the achievements of reform and opening up and economic construction? It seems the agency didn't arrange for me to interview. Let me go ask who was arranged."

Zhang Bin went to ask and then returned, saying, "This calligraphy and painting exhibition is an important activity in the province, so the agency arranged an experienced old reporter named Jiang Chaoyang. He has gone out to interview now. I'll ask him when he returns."

Su Xinghui said, "Jiang Chaoyang? I seem to have heard this name? Is he our alumnus? Has he reported on quite a few influential news stories?"

Zhang Bin nodded and said, "Yes, he is several years ahead of us and is a senior from the journalism department. He was originally a famous reporter for the 'Hudong Daily' and was transferred over after our agency was established. He can be considered the pillar of our newspaper. I have a good relationship with him and have learned quite a few things from him."

Su Xinghui thought for a moment and said, "Does Senior Brother Jiang have a pager?"

Zhang Bin nodded and said, "Yes, do you want to find him now?"

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, it's almost eleven o'clock now. Page him to see where he is, and I'll treat him to lunch."

Zhang Bin nodded and paged him on the phone. Within a few minutes, Jiang Chaoyang called back.

Zhang Bin explained the situation on the phone, and Jiang Chaoyang readily agreed. He reported his location and told Zhang Bin and the others to come over.

Zhang Bin told the editing room director and then went out with his bag and Su Xinghui. They were quite free as reporters; as long as they could submit their drafts within the specified time, they weren't required to sit in the office.

Jiang Chaoyang was currently at the entrance of the Jiangcheng Television Factory by the Yangtze River. There were people sitting in protest there today because employees were protesting that they hadn't been paid for several months. Only an experienced old reporter like Jiang Chaoyang could go to such an occasion, so the agency sent him.

Arriving at the entrance of the Jiangcheng Television Factory, the protesting workers were gradually dispersing. Zhang Bin saw Jiang Chaoyang standing under a street tree at a glance and shouted, "Teacher Jiang."

Jiang Chaoyang turned his head, saw Zhang Bin and Su Xinghui, walked toward them, and smiled, "Is this your classmate?"
