Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 837 I’m going to be a father

After returning home and having dinner in the evening, Chen Changan called Zhu Ling and his younger sister.

"Brother, I am very popular in the Propaganda Department. The head of the department even arranged for me to draw blackboard newspapers.

My colleagues all say that I draw well. It seems that I am really not suitable for school, but only for work. "

Although my little sister is usually carefree, she has never been as happy as she is today.

It can be seen that the younger sister really likes going to work. As for the compliments from her colleagues, that is also normal. Don’t they see who her older brother is?

“I called you two here today because I wanted to ask you two something.

With the start of the color TV production line, our superiors wanted our automobile factory to build a TV station.

My idea is to select a group of people from the Propaganda Department to work specifically on the TV station.

For example, I plan to host a news program at 7 o'clock every evening.

This requires a professional announcer, and we don’t need to look for others, we can just dig internally.

I just think Zhu Ling speaks Mandarin very well, at least people from all over the world can understand her. That’s enough.

Of course, the news we report cannot all be about national policies. We also need to report some stories about ordinary people.

This requires a reporter. I think you have a cheerful personality and like to travel around, so being a reporter would be perfect for you.

It's better than drawing a blackboard newspaper every day. As for writing manuscripts, there are many college students in the factory who can help you write. If you really can't, I can help you write."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ling nodded and agreed without any hesitation.

As a dancer, it is natural for me to be on camera and I have no resistance at all.

As my man, and such a capable one at that, there is no way he would harm me.

Moreover, as the deputy director of the art troupe, Zhu Ling gradually moved into a management position and had fewer and fewer opportunities to perform.

This was not her intention, but with Chen Changan around, the factory didn't dare treat her as a small actor.

As for broadcasting and hosting, although he himself doesn't know how to do it, since Chen Changan can explain it, he must know something about it.

In addition, the country's television industry was just starting out and there was no standard or benchmark. As long as her accent was not heavy and she didn't get stuck often, basically no one would blame her.

The younger sister next to her was somewhat unwilling.

She had just started working and was assigned to the Propaganda Department. All her colleagues were complimenting her.

Having just experienced the joy of working in the Propaganda Department, she was naturally reluctant to change jobs all of a sudden.

"Brother, can I not be a reporter? I think it's fine to stay in the Propaganda Department and draw blackboard newspapers."

Chen Changan didn't intend to force his younger sister, but he still hoped that she could understand what a reporter was.

"Then do you know what a reporter is?"

"Isn't it just running around the city to see if there are any strange things?"

After listening to his younger sister's explanation, Chen Changan smiled.

“You underestimate journalists. Let me tell you, journalists have a lot of responsibilities.

First of all, journalists can observe and monitor all areas of society.

For example, reporting illegal and irregular phenomena and social injustice can arouse social attention and promote the resolution of problems.

Provide a communication platform between different groups and convey the government's policies and measures to the public.

It can also feed back the people’s voices and demands to relevant government departments.”

As Chen Changan explained, the little sister's original disdainful look gradually disappeared.

“For example, if the people do not understand the policies issued by the state, you can break down the policies on TV and explain them to the people.

If the people have any demands, you can also help them find the leaders of relevant departments. Isn't this more meaningful than drawing blackboard newspapers?"

Chen Changan looked at his younger sister's eyes which were gradually glowing and continued.

"You can also guide the direction of public opinion and promote positive energy through reporting on certain events.

If I have the opportunity in the future, I will be able to go abroad to report some foreign news.

Let the people in our country and units understand what the situation is like in foreign countries.

That is, it can enable people to understand the world, broaden their horizons, and satisfy the people's right to know.

Do you think this kind of thing makes sense?"

"Brother, I'll go. I'd like to be a reporter, but I don't know how to do it yet. You have to teach me."

"Of course, since Big Brother asked you to be a reporter, you will be responsible to the end."

Seeing her younger sister happily return to the room, Zhu Ling asked.

"Why did you suddenly want to arrange for my little sister and I to go to the TV station?

I'm afraid this TV station in our factory won't exist for too long, right?"

"Did you see it?"

"Of course, I've been married to you for such a long time, and I have gained new understandings of many things through what I've seen and heard.

We will be able to produce color televisions soon. When the popularity of television increases, the country will definitely vigorously develop television stations.

Apart from other things, there must be a CCTV, right? Who would watch your factory's TV station by then?

Tell me what you think.”

Seeing Zhu Ling's eagerness for knowledge, if I don't satisfy her at this time, I won't have a good night.

So Chen Changan spoke.

“Don’t look at the current situation of our country. It will be fully open in ten years at most.

By then, it will no longer be a planned economy. New policies such as self-employed individuals, private companies, and various land contracting policies will emerge like mushrooms after a rain, making it difficult for people to keep up.

By then we will be only in our forties, in the prime of life.

By then, after so many years of training, you and your younger sister will be familiar with the various situations in the TV station and have your own network of contacts.

We can make TV series and movies by then. If we want to sing, we can sing. We can make money and satisfy our hobbies. How great is that.”

Zhu Ling looked at Chen Changan in surprise and asked.

"Will it really turn out like you said? But right now, there's no sign of such a contradiction."

Chen Changan rolled his eyes at Zhu Ling.

"Who do you think you are? By the time you figure it out, eighty percent of the country will be able to figure it out."

Zhu Ling immediately refused to do it.

"What do you mean? You look down on me, don't you? Am I that bad? Do you want to sleep in the living room tonight?"

"No, I just said that. If I sleep in the living room for a night, my sisters will laugh at me."

“It’s okay not to sleep in the living room, but you can’t mess around tonight.

I went to the hospital today to see Zhao Jianhong and checked her pulse. She said she was pregnant. You are going to be a father."

"Really?"

Chen Changan had never expected that Zhu Ling was actually pregnant. In his previous life, Chen Changan had not even married, so naturally he had no children. In this life, he was finally going to be a father.

Chen Changan quickly put his ear to Zhu Ling's belly, wanting to listen to the baby's heartbeat.

Zhu Ling pushed Chen Changan away shyly.

"Oh, how can I hear any sound when I'm pregnant?"

Chen Changan was happily walking around the living room, repeating it over and over again.

"I'm going to be a father, I'm going to be a father..."
