Gourmet: I Sell Lunch Boxes, and the Whole School Goes Crazy

Lu Rong rented a small stall in the university campus to sell lunch boxes, but his business was dismal and on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, he awakened the Super...

Chapter 45 Second Interview

"Incompetent, utterly incompetent."

Kyoto Television Building, 100th floor.

The station director's office.

Zhang Qingsong, the station director, was hurling insults at the female reporter and cameraman.

Zhang Qingsong is a middle-aged man in his forties with a noticeable beer belly, and most notably, a bald head with only a few hairs left.

Of course, in his view, even if there are still a few hairs left, it can't be called bald.

He seemed to value those last few hairs, combing them horizontally as if to say, "I still have hair."

"You two spent the whole day there, and this is all you've given me today?" he yelled, pointing at the computer screen.

The female reporter and cameraman spent the whole day at Kyoto University yesterday conducting interviews.

When I came to work today, I discovered that apart from the interviews I filmed at the library yesterday, I hadn't saved any of the later footage.

As a result, the footage was only about 20 minutes long.

It completely fails to meet the time requirements of the television broadcast plan.

The female reporter's original plan to film the school leaders grabbing lunch boxes was also missed because the photographer was so busy eating his lunch that he forgot to press the save button.

Of course, they dared not say that the result was due to eating boxed lunches; they only said it was due to negligence at work.

If Zhang Qingsong knew the real reason, given his temper, he would have given them a severe dressing down.

He was absolutely furious with the female reporter and the cameraman.

Because the journalism profession has a very low tolerance for mistakes.

They actually made such a serious mistake this time.

How could he not be angry?

“You’ve done this before, and you’re all long-time employees of our station. Is this the kind of mistake you should be making?” Zhang Qingsong pointed at the female reporter and the photographer.

The two were so frightened by being criticized in public that they didn't dare to lift their heads and could only keep their heads down and look at the ground.

"Director, we didn't mean it. Please give us another chance!" The female reporter had no other choice but to plead in a tearful voice.

Seeing this, the photographer quickly chimed in, "Yes, Director, it's all my fault. I accidentally forgot to press the save button. I promise there won't be any problems next time."

Seeing that they were both so eager to admit their mistakes, Zhang Qingsong didn't know what else to say. He sighed deeply and said helplessly:

"The station is taking this filming very seriously. It will be broadcast on Kyoto TV this Sunday, but we haven't finished filming the footage yet."

“You two aren’t in a hurry, but I am. Fine, now you two come with me to Kyoto University right now. Wait... I need to personally supervise this matter on-site. We absolutely cannot allow any more mishaps.”

Looking at his two unworthy subordinates, Zhang Qingsong decided to take matters into his own hands.

Seeing that the station director had said so, the female reporter and cameraman finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly began to flatter him: "With the station director here, we will definitely be able to complete the filming task very well this time."

Before long, the group drove to Kyoto University.

Since they had already filmed once yesterday, they couldn't very well ask Kyoto University leaders to come and cooperate with the filming again.

Therefore, the only way to complete the follow-up work is through random campus interviews.

After getting off the bus, Zhang Qingsong looked at the vast Kyoto University and exclaimed that university life was wonderful.

Then, tasks were quickly assigned: "School is about to end, and many students will be coming over soon. Once we see them, we can conduct random interviews."

He was very familiar with the school's schedule and confirmed the interview time and interviewee immediately.

The school leaders also conducted some interviews yesterday.

Now we can add some interviews with students on campus.

Finally, you can go to classrooms and other places to film scenes of students studying diligently.

That's pretty much how the whole filming process went.

Schools are places for learning, so the content of the filming should primarily focus on learning.

This is what he has in mind right now.

The group was pressed for time and had a heavy workload.

Today we need to film the relevant footage, and then edit it later; that's where the time will be spent.

"Received." The female reporter and cameraman took their positions, ready to make amends.

The female reporter, dressed in light-colored professional attire, held a microphone and smiled, appearing very approachable.

The photographer carried large and small bags on his back, and set up the camera he was carrying on the ground to prepare for the next shoot.

Sure enough, not long after, the school bell rang in the schoolyard.

Soon after, a dense crowd of students emerged.

Looking at the hundreds or even thousands of students, Zhang Qingsong nodded in satisfaction.

His expression seemed to say that everything was as he had expected.

"See that? You could interview just a few of those students and use them as material. I really don't understand what you were doing yesterday?"

"The job of a journalist requires flexibility. If you find that you don't have enough material, you have to find a way to shoot it all in time."

He started criticizing and educating again.

The female reporter and cameraman could only nod repeatedly, not daring to refute.

Just as the students were about to reach them, Zhang Qingsong gave the female reporter a look, and she immediately understood.

Seeing a male classmate walking over, she immediately went up to him, smiling, and asked:

"Hello, could I trouble you for a few minutes to conduct an interview?" Her smile was sweet, and she was also very pretty, making people feel comfortable.

However, upon seeing the female reporter, the male student immediately refused, saying, "Sorry, I'm busy right now, I need to go eat. You can find another student."
