Song Ye waved to the waiter and ordered tea and pastries: "Please bring us a pot of jasmine tea and two portions of glutinous rice cakes."
"Okay, we'll prepare it for you right away." The waiter replied with a smile.
After tea and cakes were served, Song Ye and Li Xue began a formal conversation.
Song Ye first chatted about irrelevant topics and then said to Li Xue: "Reporter Li, don't be polite. Eat whatever you want. The food is specially ordered for you."
"OK, thanks."
Li Xue thanked him.
She was not too polite, but took the glutinous rice cake on the table, took a small bite, and praised: "It's delicious."
Song Ye smiled slightly and started talking about business: "Reporter Li, I came to you today. I actually want to ask you to take the cameraman on board my big fishing boat again for a news report. Is it okay?"
Li Xue didn't expect that what Song Ye was going to say was this matter. It was indeed beyond her expectation. She was slightly startled and asked curiously: "Oh? It's not a big problem, but what news are you mainly going to report?"
Song Ye said: "I just want you and the cameraman brother to follow me out to sea again. If nothing new happens, you will report nothing. If there is major news, you will report it."
After finishing speaking, he paused: "This trip to sea will mainly delay your time for a day, and I will pay you a salary for this day."
Li Xue's face turned slightly red. She thought Song Ye wanted to go to sea with her, so she thought of a reason to let herself board the big fishing boat again for filming.
She thought about it carefully. The last time she reported on the small fishing village, the news attracted a lot of attention and the ratings were very high.
The leaders of the TV station do have the idea of doing a second episode of the show.
She took the cameraman and followed Song Ye out to sea again. She was not dealing with personal matters, but looking for new materials for the TV station. It was neither official nor private, nor was it illegal.
She came back to her senses, looked at Song Ye and said: "No problem. Early tomorrow morning, I will take the cameraman to the dock of the small fishing village. As for the salary, you don't have to pay. Our leader just wants to We are doing the second episode of a program about a small fishing village, and I will just go and apply to the leader for the filming of this program later."
"That's it, okay then." Song Ye didn't insist on giving money.
If Li Xue can really help him a lot this time, Song Ye will definitely find a way to repay him in the future.
After they finished chatting, they continued to eat the pastries and jasmine tea on the table.
It wasn't until he finished eating all these things that Song Ye took the initiative to get up to pay the bill and leave with Li Xue.
"Brother Song Ye, I will go and do my own business first. See you at the dock tomorrow."
Li Xue said goodbye to Song Ye.
It was still early and she had to apply to the leader to continue filming news about the small fishing village tomorrow.
Song Ye knew what Li Xue was going to do, so he nodded and said, "Thank you for the hard work, Reporter Li."
"It's not hard, it's just daily work." After Li Xue finished speaking, he changed the subject and said, "Brother Song Ye, you don't need to call me Reporter Li, I'm being too polite. Just call me Li Xue or Xiaoxue."
Song Ye smiled awkwardly and called him by his first name, which seemed a bit impolite. Calling Xiaoxue seemed too intimate and he was afraid of being misunderstood.
However, Song Ye still nodded and agreed.
He has already thought of a good title, which is to call the other party Miss Li Xue.
In this way, it will neither seem too unfamiliar nor too intimate, nor will it have the formal feeling of being called Reporter Li.
After saying goodbye to Li Xue, Song Ye rode a motorcycle for half an hour and returned home again.
He told Song Weiguo and Song Jun that Li Xue and her cameraman would go to sea with them tomorrow morning.
Naturally, Song Weiguo and Song Jun would not have any objections. Being able to be on TV, and they had no bad impression of Li Xue, there was no reason to refuse.
The day passed quickly.
The next day, before it was completely light, Song Ye, Song Weiguo, and Song Jun got up early and came to the dock.
The sea breeze on the pier was slightly cool, and the waves gently lapped the shore, making a pleasant sound.
Li Xue and her accompanying cameraman Zhang Hao have also arrived at the dock.
Although Zhang Hao is almost fifty years old, he is passionate about photography and can always capture the most moving pictures.
At this time, they were reporting in the thick fog.
Li Xue held the microphone in her hand and her voice was clear and firm: "At the wharf of this small fishing village shrouded in thick fog, the fishermen are about to start their day. Today we will follow them and go to sea together to experience their work and life. Thank you." Please pay attention.”
When they saw that Song Ye, Song Weiguo and others had arrived.
Li Xue and Zhang Hao both temporarily turned off their microphones and cameras and greeted Song Ye and others.
"Brother Song Ye, you are here." Li Xue looked at Song Ye who was getting closer and smiled slightly.
Song Ye nodded and responded: "Yes, Miss Li Xue, brother cameraman, it's early for you too."
Both parties greeted each other politely.
Then start preparations before going to sea.
Deng Hong has also arrived at the dock. What he will do today is to command the new large fishing boat to go fishing with Song Jun.
As for the captain, deputy captain, fishing crew members, etc. of the new fishing boat, Song Ye asked Liu Laosan to make arrangements. Now they are all gathered at the dock and ready to go to sea at any time.
As for Deng Hong's original crew members, their lives and deaths are still uncertain. Song Ye can only wait until they come back, and then recruit them into his hands if they still want to work on the ocean.
Other fishermen on the dock of the small fishing village, such as Zhang Dahai and others, were extremely envious when they saw that Song Ye's family was going to use two large fishing boats to go to sea at the same time this time.
The net profit earned by a large fishing boat from one trip to sea is about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
Nowadays, two large fishing boats go out to sea at the same time. Every time they come back from the distant sea, they can earn at least close to 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. How could they not be enviable?
"How come Song Ye's family is so lucky? All the wealth and honor from the sky has landed on their heads."
There were fishermen who had a very bad relationship with the Song Ye family and expressed their opinions full of jealousy.
"Song Ye's family is really lucky to have two big fishing boats at the same time. If they continue to develop like this, we small fishermen and small fishing boats will not be enough in their eyes, just like a giant dragon. Looking down like ants."
"Actually, there is no need to envy him. The Song Ye family just fell in love with Liu Laosan. If I had this opportunity, I could make as much money as him."
…
The words of some fishermen were full of jealousy, as if they had drunk a large vat of vinegar, sour.
