Chapter 162 Chapter 162
After boiling the hot water, Gu Weidong wanted to help Old Man Cui clean himself, but the needles Ye Qing had just inserted made Old Man Cui feel much more energetic. He stretched his muscles and bones and found that his limbs were much more flexible. He immediately became unwilling to let Gu Weidong take care of him. He closed the door and began to wring the towel to wipe himself. In no time, he cleaned himself up.
Then, the old man's appetite also worked up. In front of Ye Qing and Gu Weidong, he happily ate more than ten roast duck rolls and did not stop until he burped.
As for the matter of going to Kaoshantun for treatment, Ye Qing did not say anything more. With the old man's status and connections, if he really wanted to treat him, Ye Qing would not need to persuade him at all, the old man would find someone to find a solution himself.
In short, Ye Qing specifically returned to Zhima Hutong just to check the old man's health. Now that her goal was achieved, she didn't stay any longer. She quickly said goodbye to the old man and pulled Gu Weidong out of the old alley.
After looking at the house, Ye Qing did not waste any more time with Gu Weidong. After parting with Gu Weidong, Ye Qing found Hang Tingfang again and asked Hang Tingfang to take her to visit Mr. Yang.
This old man was the first mentor she met when she came to this world. If the old man had not supported her, her journey to the countryside would never have been as smooth as it is now. It happened that Mr. Yang was also in Jicheng during this period, and Ye Qing would definitely go to see this old comrade.
When Ye Qing saw Mr. Yang and his familiar Secretary Tian, before he could even say hello, Mr. Yang patted Ye Qing on the shoulder and laughed:
"See what I said? I said this little girl is something special, and I was right. Look how long it has been, less than a year, and this little girl wants to poke a hole through the sky. It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. This child is really fierce!"
Secretary Tian now sincerely admires Ye Qing. Who could have imagined that the little-known girl he met on the train last year could now directly enter the auditorium and even meet the chief directly? This speed of advancement can definitely be called a step to heaven. This little girl's strength is simply terrifying.
Old Yang was very proud and triumphant during this period. Whenever he saw those people who had raised objections to his efforts to protect Ye Qing, he would make sarcastic remarks about them. Now that those opponents had been badly slapped in the face, they felt aggrieved and ashamed and did not dare to show off in front of Old Yang. They all kept a low profile and behaved themselves, for fear of running into Old Yang's gun.
Afraid that Ye Qing would be nervous going to the auditorium to meet the chief, Old Yang offered to accompany Ye Qing tomorrow. To be honest, Ye Qing was definitely nervous, but she wasn't that nervous. After all, she had even experienced the apocalypse, so she certainly wouldn't be nervous in other situations.
But she really couldn't imagine what the scene would be like when meeting with the leader.
The next morning, Ye Qing first followed Hang Tingfang to the newspaper office, and then met the editor-in-chief of Jicheng People's Publishing House.
Jicheng People's Publishing House showed enough sincerity and was willing to provide Ye Qing with a job as a non-staff contributor. As long as he put his name on the list, Ye Qing could receive a certain living allowance every month, which was almost half of the salary and benefits of a regular employee of the publishing house.
Don't underestimate the general salary and benefits. A publishing house is considered a good unit nowadays, and Ye Qing can receive his salary without having to formally work at the publishing house, which is equivalent to receiving royalties in disguise.
However, this living allowance can only be received for one to two years. How long it can last depends on the long-tail effect of Ye Qing's book "Beginning of Autumn" after its publication. If it is popular with readers and can be reprinted in the future, Ye Qing will be able to receive more living allowances. Or, if Ye Qing continues to write new works and submit them, and if the new book can be approved by the publishing house again, her position as a non-staff contributor can be directly welded to her, and she will be able to have no worries about food and drink for the rest of her life just by relying on the welfare subsidies from the publishing house.
But Ye Qing is well aware of her own writing skills. The success of "Beginning of Autumn" is more due to its avant-garde and opportunistic ideas, as well as the fact that it appeared at the right time, rather than how brilliant the novel itself is. If she were asked to write another novel, Ye Qing would probably not be able to write one even if she racked her brains.
Fortunately, Ye Qing is not greedy. Although she is happy to receive welfare subsidies, she seems to be willing to publish if the publishing house gives nothing, and will not nitpick over these details.
After signing the publishing authorization materials, Ye Qing didn't plan to care about the rest. He had lunch with Hang Tingfang and the editor-in-chief of the publishing house. In the afternoon, Ye Qing put on his newest and most fitting Dacron suit, combed his hair into the most common braid of that era, and after getting himself ready, he got into Yang Lao's car and went to the auditorium.
Normally, Ye Qing is always calm and mature, and she is so steady that she doesn't look like a girl of her age at all. Even Old Yang thinks Ye Qing is amazing. But this time, when she arrived at the reception room and saw the old man sitting in the room, she became excited like a fool. Her heart was pounding and her emotions were surging. She didn't know where to put her hands and feet, and she couldn't utter a word the whole time.
In fact, the whole reception process was not long. The leader's schedule was very tight, and it was an exception for him to take time out to meet her, an ordinary person. Therefore, the whole borrowing process took only about ten minutes. Basically, the leader asked a question and Ye Qing answered it. After that, when the time was up, Ye Qing was politely asked to leave the reception room.
When he came out, Ye Qing felt that his soul was still floating, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Seeing Ye Qing's absent-minded look, Elder Yang was also very disappointed:
"Girl, where is your usual calm and composed demeanor? How come it's all gone this time? You should have shown off your talents to the chief, but you let him ask you questions on his own initiative. Why are you being so stubborn? You're really making me mad!"
Ye Qing was also somewhat embarrassed and regretful, mainly because she had said with great confidence before that she had seen all kinds of big scenes and would definitely not be stage fright, which made Old Yang think that she would definitely not let down. But who knew that when she really arrived at the reception room, the calm and composed aura that she had cultivated for two lifetimes would instantly fall apart, and all the preparations she had prepared in her mind were completely forgotten.
Who could understand this feeling? In her previous life, she could only see this person in textbooks, television, and various film and television materials. Now she actually saw him in person. Moreover, the old man was very kind and held her hand and asked her all kinds of questions. He smiled kindly and said all kinds of words of appreciation and encouragement. Ye Qing couldn't control her tears on the spot. She couldn't hold it back at all.
Fortunately, she just spoke less during the entire meeting and did not make a fool of herself, otherwise Ye Qing would never be able to get over this hurdle in her life.
At this moment, Ye Qing was still feeling lucky to have saved her face, but many years later, she learned that this meeting actually left behind complete video footage. Even when she stepped onto the national award-winning stage many years later, the organizers dug out the video footage like a grave, and directly put it on the big screen for her public execution. Ye Qing really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
After coming out of the auditorium, Ye Qing thought that her trip to Jicheng was over. However, she did not expect that as soon as she went out, people from the Ministry of Agriculture and the Propaganda Committee were already waiting for her. Then she was taken to a meeting to discuss matters related to the filming of the scientific breeding documentary she was doing at Qingshan Farm.
That’s right. Because the short video of sows giving birth filmed by Jicheng TV station at Qingshan Farm more than a week ago received a lot of positive feedback from the audience, the Propaganda Committee and the Ministry of Agriculture, after careful consideration, felt that filming a related agricultural science program would also be an important way to promote scientific breeding technology. So after several meetings and discussions, they decided to send a professional filming team directly to Qingshan Farm in the second half of the year to spend more than half a year to film a full cycle of scientific pig breeding programs, from sow breeding to pig delivery.
While attending the meeting, Ye Qing heard Jicheng TV station announce this filming plan and was stunned by this bold and innovative idea.
It's no wonder that Ye Qing was so surprised. It was the early 1970s, and it was far from the self-media era of later generations where everyone had a mobile phone. The programs on TV stations at that time were still limited to a single mode such as model operas, and movies were basically based on the red theme. It can be said that in the past ten years, domestic television media was basically stagnant. The real era of television dramas had to wait until ten years later when color televisions appeared and various excellent TV series emerged like bamboo shoots after rain.
But now, there is actually a TV station proposing to shoot an agricultural documentary, and a true documentary. This is indeed a field that no one has ever tried before, and it is definitely very avant-garde.
The Propaganda Committee and the Ministry of Agriculture came up with the idea, and Jicheng TV Station organized relevant technical personnel to implement it. Now the pressure is on Ye Qing, and the leaders of several units all look at Ye Qing.
With so many eyes staring at her eagerly, Ye Qing couldn't help swallowing.
But this plan will definitely bring only benefits and no disadvantages to her, Qingshan Farm, and even to the apprentices she will bring out. This is a documentary jointly produced by two state-owned units, and it is also the first agricultural science program in the country. It will definitely make a mark in the history of television media in the future. Even if it doesn't go down in history, at least it will definitely make all the relevant personnel who go abroad gain both fame and fortune.
Moreover, since the sow breeding and delivery processes at Qingshan Farm went quite smoothly in the first half of the year, Ye Qing had accumulated a lot of experience from it, so she had originally planned to breed another batch of pigs at Qingshan Farm in the second half of the year.
However, this time she was not going to do it herself, but to delegate power to her apprentices and let them take full control. She would only be responsible for steering the ship, controlling the general direction of the entire process, and assisting them in solving problems when problems arose.
In addition, if possible, she would like to take advantage of the opportunity of breeding this batch of pigs to train all the technicians transferred from Qingshan Farm and the county to become masters. In this way, when the spring of next year comes, she will no longer have to work hard to train apprentices, and those technicians who have become masters can go out and teach this technology to the outside world.
If a television station were to film the entire process of scientific breeding key technologies, then even without a master, technicians at agricultural technology stations in each province or barefoot veterinarians could learn by themselves based on this program. Not to mention replicating the entire technology 100%, they could at least learn 70% to 80%.
Therefore, Ye Qing would definitely support such a good thing with both hands and feet. However, since this program recording format was the first attempt of the TV station, Ye Qing felt that she had to emphasize her requirements first. No matter how professional and powerful the camera crew sent by the TV station was, all actions during the entire filming process had to obey her command.
"The scientific breeding cycle will last at least half a year. I am the only one who knows what needs to be done at each stage, so I have to control the process. I will inform the crew in advance what to prepare for filming in the next few days, but I hope that the crew can also respect and cooperate with the work of our farm and not interfere in our breeding process."
When it comes to breeding, the worst thing is for amateurs to instruct professionals. If the production crew starts giving orders after arriving at the farm, Ye Qing will not be happy, so she has to speak out in advance.
