Less than 1000 kilometers away from Binhai City.
Shanghai, China.
Stars Pet Chain Supermarket's new headquarter building completion ceremony.
Qian Tong sighed helplessly, "So many people! I hate crowded places. "
Yu, the cameraman, comforted her, "What can we do? This is our job. But you, why do you hate crowds? Why did you enter the journalism department to be a reporter? "
At the mention of this, Qian Tong was full of resentment. "I got into journalism to become a TV host. Who would have thought that after I finally got into a TV station, I'd be a reporter!" She said, "That's right.
Yu was in his forties. He had a family and a career, so he didn't have to worry about these things. He was wearing a vest with many pockets. He held the camera in one hand and took out a pack of cigarettes from the chest pocket of the vest with the other. With a flick of his wrist, he took out a cigarette from the gap in the vest, lowered his head, and put it in his mouth. He took out a lighter, lit it, and took a deep puff.
"Who doesn't want to be a TV host? It's so cool to be a TV host. The problem is that you don't have any connections and you don't have a broadcasting background. You just have to make a living. "
Yu took another puff and looked at the sea of people in front of him. He was a bit annoyed. There were many people, and there were also many people in the same line of work. In a while, they would have to fight for a good photography position. In the past, they had fought over it, but when they thought of the red packet that they were about to receive, their irritation turned into anticipation.
He pushed his cap up and looked at the newly built Stars Pet Chain Supermarket's headquarters.
This 25-story building was square, angular, and looked steady and sturdy. However, compared to the other unconventional buildings, it did not have any special characteristics. Stars Pet Chain Supermarket was so rich that they should be able to hire an internationally famous architect, right?
"Whatever, it's none of my business." He pushed down the brim of his cap again.
In front of the main entrance of the building, there was a long red carpet that extended from the inside to the outside of the building.
Several technical staff of Stars Pet Chain Supermarket were adjusting the microphone on the podium.
On both sides of the podium, there was a pile of things covered with red cloth. They were not sure what they were, but they were probably going to be revealed later.
Qian Tong took out her makeup mirror and carefully touched up her makeup.
"Let's go. The PR Department of Stars Pet Chain Supermarket is here. Let's go get the red envelope." Yu pushed her and urged.
Qian Tong perked up as well. Grumbling was one thing, but no one would say no to money.
He just didn't know how thick the red envelope of Stars Pet Chain Supermarket was. Was it enough to buy a bottle of imported perfume?
The other reporters at the scene also moved, rushing toward the rich man.
"Don't worry, everyone. Come here and sign in. Everyone has a share." The head of the Public Relations Department of Stars Pet Chain Supermarket said with a smile.
This was already considered an industry practice. The reporters who came to report were given a sum of transportation fees. Those who took the money were softhearted. In this way, the reporters would also pick the good ones to write about.
Qian Tong and Old Yu lined up in order and reported their TV station's name. The person in charge of the PR Department handed them two red envelopes.
Squeezing out of the crowd, Qian Tong eagerly opened the red envelope and counted, "2888! Stars Pet Chain Supermarket is quite generous! "
Old Yu put the camera on the ground and opened the red envelope. He pulled out all the money and counted it. He only had 1888 yuan in his red packet, but it was better than nothing. Those who worked behind the scenes were always unlucky.
He carefully counted out 200 yuan and put the remaining 1688 yuan back into the red packet.
"Old Yu, what are you doing?" Qian Tong asked confusedly.
Old Yu put the red packet into one of the pockets of his vest and laughed, "It's all my fault. One time I was drunk and said to my wife that there would be red envelopes at such an important press conference. My wife remembered it. Since then, I have to give all the red envelopes I received to her. I'm a man after all. How can I not have some money? "
He patted the remaining 200 yuan and said, "Give her the 1688 yuan. Tell her that only 1688 yuan was given. I'll keep the 200 yuan."
"Sh * t!" Qian Tong cursed, "You stinky men! You have so many tricks up your sleeves! "
Old Yu didn't want to be outdone, "It's all because you women control me too much. I can't even afford to smoke anymore. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to do this! "
"No, I have to tell my sister-in-law one day!" She was quite angry with him.
Old Yu chuckled, "If you tell her, I won't tell you other tricks. You will suffer when you find a man in the future!"
"You …" Qian Tong was so angry that she couldn't say anything.
Old Yu held up the two 100 yuan bills and looked at them against the light to verify the anti-counterfeiting mark — he had heard from his colleagues that some companies did mix fake bills in their red envelopes, so he had to be careful.
The anti-counterfeiting mark was not a problem. They were real bills.
He was relieved. Just when he put down his hand, he suddenly found an interesting coincidence.
"Qian Tong, look." He called his friend.
"What's wrong?"
Qian Tong responded absent-mindedly. She was still thinking about Lao Yu's secret stash of money. She thought to herself that when she found a husband in the future, she must take this as a warning. She couldn't learn from Auntie Yu. She must give her husband more pocket money every month, but not too much. Otherwise, he might spend the money on debauchery … How much should she give him? 300 yuan or 500 yuan?
"Qian Tong, come and have a look." Old Yu called her again.
"What is it?" She walked over with flagging interest.
"Look, don't they look alike?" Old Yu held up a 100 yuan bill excitedly for her to see.
"What proportion?" She couldn't make heads or tails of what was going on.
Old Yu said anxiously, "Look, this bill and this building. Look carefully!"
He was a photographer and was good at finding the right angle to observe objects and people. At this time, he was holding a 100 yuan bill in his hand, facing the new building of Stars Pet Chain Supermarket. He held the bill vertically next to the building and asked Qian Tong to come over.
"Look, the ratio of length to width of this bill is very similar to the ratio of width to height of this building, right?"
Qian Tong moved closer to him, looked at the bill suspiciously, and then looked at the new building.
"Is it?" She was not sure.
Old Yu said with certainty, "It can't be wrong!"
"So what?" She was still not interested.
Old Yu was discouraged, "Don't you think it's interesting? It can't be a coincidence, right? "
"Why can't it be a coincidence?" she asked back.
"Well …" Old Yu didn't know why either, "It's too much of a coincidence!"
"Even if it's not a coincidence, so what? It's their building, they can design it however they want … "
Wasn't she curious why Stars Pet Chain Supermarket designed the building with the ratio of length to width of RMB? Old Yu deeply felt that men and women really didn't have the same language.
He looked at the podium. The staff of Stars Pet Chain Supermarket had already left. The show was about to begin.
