The Story Not Written in the Book--The Room of 7,000 Yuan

There is an article "Meteor Garden" in the book "Why Migrant Workers Are Live Broadcasting", in which one of the protagonists is my friend Ida. When I met Ida at Taipei Main Station for the first time, she used Meteor Garden to chat with me. She said that she liked Meteor Garden since she was a child. The first time she came to Taiwan to work was to Matsu. Daoming Si (Jerry Yan) used to come to Matsu to make a movie. In the end, one day when she went for a walk on the beach in Matsu, she saw Jerry Yan from a distance. At that time, Jerry Yan was also surrounded by a large group of fans. She said that seeing from a distance was enough.

In fact, what is not written in the book is,

One year before the New Year's Eve, I met Ida at CNR. I remember that she asked me to help find hotels near CNR, saying that I was really tired recently and wanted to book a hotel to find a day to rest. A year or two later, when I came to visit her for an interview with Meteor Garden, I asked her, was there a deal?

She smiled to herself first. She said that on the weekend before the New Year's Eve, the rooms near Taipei Main Station were fully booked. She found a hotel next to the Ningxia Night Market and paid the original price of 7,000 yuan to meet friends for one night.

That day at three o'clock in the afternoon, Ida went to the hotel to check in, and she sat on the hotel bed and waited. At nine o'clock, my friend said that the grandpa who took care of her made her unable to get away, and she told her that it was okay, and she would live by herself.

7,000 yuan, half of her monthly salary, but that night, she had an independent room with a large double bed.

"Ah, I'm the boss today." She smiled at me comfortably.
