After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 111 People's Livelihood Investigation
"Family Gossip", hosted by Qiao Suiqing, only ranked third among the life channels in terms of ratings.

There is a huge gap between them and the first place.

The first place is "People's Livelihood Survey".

This can also be seen from the scale.

"Family Matters" has only two editing and directing teams.

"People's Livelihood Survey" has six groups!
Among these six groups, five are undercover inspection groups and one is an open inspection group.

The director has made arrangements.

Tomorrow, let the investigation team send an experienced reporter to follow Zhou Haoran to investigate the business dispute of "booksellers refusing to pay their debts" and find out some companies that rely on "cancelling old companies and registering new companies" to evade debts!
Zhou Haoran was in a good mood.

"People's Livelihood Investigation" is a well-known program on Red Star Channel.

How famous is it?

There is even an argument within the station that the Life Channel is no longer worthy of the program "People's Livelihood Investigation" and that it should be transferred to the comprehensive channel or even broadcast directly on Red Star Satellite TV.

As soon as the investigative reporter of this program appears, will the bookseller Mr. Jiang still be able to escape?

In this day and age, TV stations are gods!
There are plenty of ways to control a small boss.

After get off work, Zhou Haoran went home to get money.

The money was in an envelope under Qiao Suiqing's bed.

The original total was more than 3300 yuan.

I checked and found that there was more than 2500 yuan left.

Zhou Haoran shook his head secretly.

I feel that this childhood sweetheart is still too frugal. She won’t go out to spend money even when asked to do so. This is not acceptable.

The first step to managing money is to learn how to spend it.

It seems like she has no talent in this area.

Zhou Haoran was a little troubled.

If Qiao Suiqing doesn't know how to manage money, then who will?
We can't let him manage the money himself, right?
Wouldn't that be just playing house?
If it really doesn't work, we can only split the responsibility of managing money.

Qiao Suiqing is in charge of living expenses.

If you need money for your business, you need to find a more professional and capable person to help manage it.

Fortunately, in the short term, Zhou Haoran doesn’t have much money, so he doesn’t need to find a financial assistant.

Let Qiao Suiqing take charge of it first.

Cultivate her abilities.

Maybe he'll grow up?

Zhou Haoran was ruthless enough and took 1000 yuan directly.

I went to the supermarket first and bought two bottles of red wine.

A bottle of French red wine and a bottle of Spanish sparkling wine.

It cost 300 yuan.

I found a high-end Western restaurant that offered takeout and ordered two steaks and two side dishes of broccoli, baked potatoes, and carrots, which cost me 600 yuan.

Qiao Suiqing is very busy at work.

Zhou Haoran is also busy.

I wanted to make an appointment to have dinner at a Western restaurant, but I don’t have much time.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Qiao Suiqing got off work.

Zhou Haoran rode his bicycle and took a detour to the western restaurant, picked up two takeouts, and then took her home.

"Qingmei, let's have a midnight snack first and then take a shower. Otherwise, it will get cold." Zhou Haoran called Qiao Suiqing and placed the table on the floor. "Go change your clothes first."

Qiao Suiqing really enjoyed this kind of petty privilege.

It means spending money like water.

She knew that the Western restaurant was expensive.

I didn't even dare to ask him the price.

I've bought everything and spent all the money.

First, enjoy the delicious red wine and steak.

Otherwise the high price will affect your good mood.

Zhou Haoran knew she was worried about the money, so he smiled and said, "I signed a contract earlier and withdrew 15 yuan in cash. Cash is faster to process, so I can make an exception and apply for a commission. I estimate I'll get 1 yuan in a few days, and I'll give it to you then."

"so much?"

Qiao Suiqing changed into loose pajamas and sat opposite him with her beautiful eyes wide open.

"It's just a small amount of money!"

Zhou Haoran was cutting beef without raising his head.

Qiao Suiqing pursed his lips and said jokingly, "Mr. Zhuma is really capable!"

Zhou Haoran placed the cut steak in front of her and said with a wink, "This is just small change. The good days have just begun!"

Qiao Suiqing was in charge of pouring the red wine and said softly, "We have to save this money, we can't..."

"Saving money?" Zhou Haoran frowned, "That won't do!"

Qiao Suiqing said angrily, "You can't spend all the ten thousand yuan, right?"

"flower!"

Zhou Haoran spoke with great force.

Qiao Suiqing rolled her eyes at him, thinking he was a bit youthful and arrogant. "Anyway, now that the money is with me, I'll deposit it in the bank." "No." Zhou Haoran thought she was too frugal, which was not a good thing. "Sister, look at Bai Panyang, look at how she dresses. Her outfit must cost at least two or three thousand! Why? We're no worse than her!"

"What's there to compare?" Qiao Suiqing said calmly, but also a little worriedly, "I'm worried about Sister Yang too. Her salary isn't enough to cover her expenses. She has to rely on her parents for some support every month, and she also has to borrow money from friends."

Zhou Haoran said in a very chauvinistic way: "Before I was gone, you could have been frugal. Now that I'm here, why do you still want to be so frugal? You should take advantage of your youth to buy good food, clothes and daily necessities and show your best style."

"Okay, I know you're good to me." Qiao Suiqing smiled and picked up the wine glass. "Come, let's take a sip and taste this wine... Mm, this wine is delicious and sweet!"

Zhou Haoran didn't want to avoid the topic, "How much is your monthly living expenses?"

"A few hundred dollars."

"more specific."

"I get 3,000 yuan in salary, 1,000 yuan for rent, and 500 yuan for my family. I also have to save 1,000 yuan and put it in the bank. I have 500 yuan for living expenses, which is more than enough."

In Qiao Suiqing's opinion, this was already a huge sum of money.

It is enough for her to live a relatively decent and glamorous life in the big city.

Zhou Haoran thought it was too shabby and demanded, "You have to listen to me on this matter. Let me make a request of you. Spend at least 5,000 yuan every month!"

Qiao Suiqing laughed out loud, "I only make 3,000 yuan a month."

"And I'll spoil you!" Zhou Haoran patted his chest and vowed, "I'll be responsible for making money to support the family, and you'll be responsible for looking beautiful. How clear is the division of responsibilities?"

Qiao Suiqing couldn't help but smile, thinking he was just joking. She said softly, "Okay, don't we have to save money to buy a house?"

"Money can't be saved, Sister Qingmei..." Zhou Haoran also realized that it would be difficult for her to change on her own initiative. "Forget it, from now on, come with me every weekend and I'll take you shopping."

Qiao Suiqing felt that as an older sister, she should be humble to her younger brother.

Don't argue with him.

Cared about his work.

"Has work been going well these days?"

"good."

"Are you going to sign the bill again?"

Qiao Suiqing's beautiful eyes were full of pride for Mr. Zhuma.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Signing a contract is nothing. I'm trying to expand my business. Otherwise, how can I make money to support my family? By the way, Qingmei, are you familiar with the program 'People's Livelihood Investigation'?"

Qiao Suiqing said respectfully, "That program is different from mine. It's a program that truly practices the social responsibility of the media."

Zhou Haoran nodded and said, "Imitate the Crown Channel's Focus Interview."

Qiao Suiqing hummed softly, "Isn't 'Focus Interview' well-received? It's even been praised by senior leaders, who say it's 'the voice of the masses,' 'a reflection of public opinion,' and 'a model for the media fulfilling its role of social supervision.'"

Zhou Haoran agreed, "Well, that is indeed a good show, but it's a pity that good people don't live long."

Qiao Suiqing said, "Crown Channel took the lead, so other channels should follow suit. However, this is a program that pioneers reform, so it can only be launched on the Lifestyle Channel. I didn't expect it to receive such a positive response after its launch."

“No. 1 in ratings.”

"It's not just the Lifestyle Channel that's number one in the ratings. It's also ranked alongside the General Channel, Urban Channel, and Sports Channel. 'People's Livelihood Survey' is also number one in the ratings. I heard the station is planning to move this program to Red Star TV."

"It wouldn't work on Red Star TV..."

Zhou Haoran was worried about Director Zhan.

Without his flagship program "People's Livelihood Investigation", his life might have been even more difficult.

Qiao Suiqing nodded slightly. "Yes, many people say that. 'Focus Interview' investigates events nationwide. 'People's Livelihood Survey' only investigates social injustice and public opinion in Haigang. If Red Star TV were to compete with 'Focus Interview' for a national audience, it wouldn't be a match."

Zhou Haoran said worriedly, "It's best not to switch. If the Life Channel loses 'People's Livelihood Survey,' the ratings will drop, and it will be even harder to attract advertising."

Qiao Suiqing is just a host.

I don't have any ambitions.

These things have nothing to do with her.

She was just a little distressed about the steak in front of her: "Haoran, this steak is too big, I can't eat it... I'll give you the rest, I'll just eat some vegetables."

"Okay, you eat it, and I'll eat the rest."

Zhou Haoran also felt that the arrangement was inappropriate.

It was late at night, so even if she could eat, she didn't dare eat too much.

Next time, just buy one steak.

……

The next day, Zhou Haoran met Yan Hong, an investigative reporter from the sixth group of "People's Livelihood Investigation", and Deng Shun, a cameraman carrying a large camera.

Both are third-tier employees.

This also fits the atmosphere of the Lifestyle Channel.

"People's Livelihood Investigation" is a reform pioneer column strongly promoted by the director, and it employs young people who are brave and aggressive and recruited from the society.

This is an offensive show.

Those who have a regular job are unwilling to get involved in this mess and at most do some behind-the-scenes or auditing work.

Zhou Haoran walked over, shook hands with them, and asked curiously, "Are you just the two of you?"

Reporter Yan Hong smiled and said, "Two people are enough. This is just a small dispute. Many in-depth investigations into particularly complex situations only involve two or three people."

Zhou Haoran whispered, "Brother Yan, do you know the nature of this investigation?"

"Just to scare them." Yan Hong, familiar with the situation, was a little amused. "This doesn't happen often. In a real social investigation, who would dare to rush in with a camera? It would have to be an undercover investigation team with hidden cameras."

Zhou Haoran's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "It's good that Brother Yan has experience, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

Yan Hong said casually, "It's no big deal. I'll go out in the morning and I think we'll have feedback this afternoon. Just wait for the news. In this part of Haigang, apart from those with good backgrounds, who else can stand up to the People's Livelihood Survey?"

Zhou Haoran felt relieved now and said, "Brother Yan, I'll introduce you to Li Changxing, the owner of Changxing Publishing House. Just pretend you don't know me, let alone that I work at a TV station..."
