Chapter 86: Woe Comes from the Mouth
It's not that everyone has never seen the world, but there are too few young people like Wang Yue who are so attentive, and it's too rare.
Especially the furnishings in the study are eye-opening.
Wang Yue put all the ornaments that he could get his hands on in the study, and most of these ornaments were gifts from his participation in various interview activities.
A discerning person can't see that his business ability is not bad, otherwise, it would be impossible to collect so many interesting things over the years. These things sit on the shelves like a mini museum.
"Wang Yue, this is all what you got during the interview?"
"Oh, you're amazing!"
"Tsk, that's awesome!"
Everyone saw that in addition to some calligraphy and paintings on the shelves, there were some objects in each square, such as some books, philatelic albums and other things in the top row of grids, as well as a bunch of colorful press cards and interview cards, which were handled by Wang Yue when he participated in various activities, and he did not throw them away afterwards, but collected them with his heart.
"Look at these documents, this is the press card of the Bac Giang Provincial Games, this is the press card of the Peach Blossom Festival, and this is the press card of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Expo. I didn't throw any of these documents away. When I get old, look at these documents, they are full of memories. Wang Yue gave his reasons.
"You're such a caring person. Mao Junjie praised.
Everyone followed Wang Yue's introduction and continued to look down, and in the middle row of the bookshelves were some porcelain, glass bottles, and framed prints.
"These are all souvenirs from the interviewees or the organizers, all of which are worthless things. Wang Yue said with a smile.
Mao Junjie's eyes were attracted by the delicate glass bottle. He picked up the bottle and played with it repeatedly in his hand. The bottle is only the size of a palm, and it is in the shape of a snuff box with a big belly and a small mouth. On the front of the bottle is an ink painting with the theme of "Spring": bright red peonies are in full bloom, occupying almost one-third of the space of the entire bottle, and two magpies stand on the branches of the peony flowers, looking like they are about to fly. The place of payment is a red stamp of the title, time, place, and author's signature.
Although there is not much space for painting, and the few lines of words at the end of the payment are only the size of mung bean grains, the whole painting is vivid, which is enough to see the profound skills of the craftsman.
"This is a painting of the inner tank, purely handmade," Wang Yue quickly explained when he saw Mao Junjie's dumbfounded appearance, "It was painted by a craftsman using a tool similar to a small hook into the bottle and different pigments on the inner wall." ”
"It's amazing!" Mao Junjie praised, "Your line of work is really good, not only can you see the world, you can get contact with all walks of life, but you can also get such good things." Our marketing department was forced to beg people to sell newspapers and advertisements all day long. In a word, reporters are Party A and we are Party B outside, and their status is very different. ”
Seeing that a few people were so interested, Wang Yue also came to the spirit.
"Come, I'll show you something," Wang Yue took out a delicate red box from the drawer on the bottom layer of the bookshelf, carefully placed it on the desk, and then opened it layer by layer, and took out a Buddha statue the size of a banana fan, which was a statue of Maitreya Bodhisattva, made of jade, with a milky white appearance and crystal clear.
"This is a gift from the CEO of a company, saying that it is jade. Wang Yue said, "As for the quality of this jade, I don't know if it's good." However, the important thing is that this Buddha statue has been opened!"
When everyone heard Wang Yue say this, they immediately stood in awe, and Mao Junjie hurriedly put his hand down from the head of the Buddha statue, put it in the box seriously, returned it to Wang Yue, and bowed with his hands together with sincerity. When everyone saw it, they also learned Mao Junjie's movements and worshiped in style.
"Okay, okay, let's go to the living room, I'll ask my daughter-in-law to stew that running pheasant, and prepare a few more appetizers!" Wang Yue said, taking everyone to the living room to sit down. After pouring the tea, he went to the kitchen to help his daughter-in-law prepare the meal.
A pot of tea, the meal is ready. There aren't many hard dishes – fried stupid chicken in a shallow basin made of stainless steel, a portion of home-cooked braised beef, and the rest are cold dishes and vegetarian dishes such as cucumbers and scrambled eggs, adding up to six or seven dishes.
"The food is not good, don't mind. Wang Yue politely apologized while arranging for everyone to be seated.
"It's already very rich," Mao Junjie said, "Oh, by the way, I brought two bottles of liquor, the 52-degree blue bottle classic for us to try?"
"I've heard that this is new, and there aren't many on the market. One of the colleagues added.
"Then there will be a blessing. Lao Mao, you still say that you are hard, who are you fooling? I've heard that your marketing income is twice as much as ours, which is so enviable. Hurry up and bring out your good wine, let's taste it. Wang Yue said.
Because everyone joined the club in the same year, there is no barrier between each other coming first and coming first, so everyone chats casually.
"Hehe, I'm making you laugh, we're all doing hard work, you get what you pay for. Mao Junjie smirked.
Don't talk nonsense, drink.
The four of them drank alcohol, omitting a lot of the rules on the drinking field, but the speed of drinking was not omitted.
After a while, each person was already close to half a catty of wine.
"This wine tastes good. The entrance is soft. Wang Yue praised.
"This wine has a benefit, if you drink too much, you won't get up, your mouth will not be dry, and you will wake up early tomorrow morning, and you will still be alive and energetic. Mao Junjie explained.
The high liquor is a pleasure to drink, but once the strength of the wine comes up, the drunkenness comes quickly. The topic of discussion is also slowly being released.
"Junjie, you said that you envy the position of a reporter, but the difficulties of the line and line of work. Wang Yue began to complain, "In order to catch up with the draft, I work overtime every three or five times." You say, the most lights in the whole building at night are not our editorial department?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Mao Junjie nodded in agreement, "But the effort is proportional to the gain." ”
"Gain? What else is there to gain from this piece of?"
"Of course, at least when you go to the place, everyone will respect you. We're different, groveling all day long to go down there and ask for money. Mao Junjie said.
"That's true, let's go down to interview, no matter what, everyone has to give some face, and serve with good food and drink. The other two also agreed with Wang Yue's words and nodded in agreement.
Wang Yue changed his words, and then complained: "Those respects are superficial. What real power does the newspaper have, isn't it just that newspaper to eat and eat? The most depressing thing is the bad things between the leaders of the unit; you see that I am not pleasing to the eye, I see that you are not convinced, and you guard against me and I guard against you. I have to type the draft several times in my mind when I talk to the leader!"
When everyone heard this, they felt even more reasonable, and their heads nodded more heavily, "Mmmm!
"I agree with what you say," Wang Yue's words seemed to touch the pain point of one of the reporters, "Sometimes when a manuscript is arranged, the three deputy editors-in-chief of the editor-in-chief's office have three ideas, who do you say I listen to?"
"Who's listening? Of course, whoever listens, so that they are all satisfied, this is the real ability!" Wang Yue said, "Otherwise, it will be the end of Xiangbei!"
Everyone didn't expect that after chatting and chatting, it came to the topic of going north again. You know, this topic has been analyzed and discussed countless times on different occasions, but I didn't expect it to be a topic of conversation after dinner. If you don't have something new, it's boring!
"This guy is quite tragic, he joined the club four or five years earlier than us. It stands to reason that if you mix it well, you can solve a leadership position now, but it's a pity. A reporter said.
"He just let the leader push it out as a backstop. Mao Junjie said.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Wang Yue. He felt that Mao Junjie seemed to be going to talk about the topic of going north to a new height. If you can talk like that, you will naturally have spirits.
"This ......" but Mao Junjie hesitated, it seems that there must be something strange in this, and Mao Junjie must be given the courage to pick up this topic.
"Come on, let's have a drink!" Wang Yue proposed.
"Okay!
"The people who are sitting together and drinking today are all brothers, what do you have to say?" Wang Yue took a bite of running pheasant, this chicken is delicious and firm, it is really a good chicken, "Come, let's eat chicken together, eat chicken together." ”
"That's right, good luck, eat chicken tonight!"
"Don't worry, the wine doesn't count, tomorrow we'll all forget. Just gossip about it. Another reporter also urged.
"Then I'll say it," Mao Junjie felt that such a good occasion could not sweep everyone's interest with such an auspicious running pheasant, and. This is also a good time to get closer to the relationship between buddies, "I once asked Xiangbei for help in selling newspapers and advertisements back then. I had just started working at the time, and I didn't have any social resources, so where could I go to do marketing? As a result, going north was refreshing and helped me complete the task of the year. ”
"I heard that he took kickbacks from it, is there such a thing?" asked Wang Yue.
"No, after the newspapers and periodicals were sold to those companies, the prices were adjusted, and the overcharged money had to be returned to the companies. Originally, the money had to be transferred from business to business, but I thought it was too troublesome, so I transferred it directly to the heads of those companies through personal accounts. At that time, the financial system was not perfect, and no one held it accountable. Therefore, from the perspective of the unit account, this cashback cannot be found. Later, the police and the court approached me about it, and I was afraid of being held responsible, so I said I didn't know......
"According to you, you transferred this money to those companies privately?" asked Wang Yue.
"yes. The transfer records are still available. ”
"But how can they say that they turned to the north privately?" Wang Yue was puzzled, many things did not make sense.
"That's why he's taking the blame. ”
"It seems that this matter is really wronged to the north. Then again, buddy, you're not authentic, people helped you, but you fell into the ground. Wang Yue said.
"This is not a falling stone, after all, if you find out about this matter, either he has a problem or I have a problem, do you think I can not protect myself, this is human instinct. Besides, if the newspaper insists on investigating, the matter will be investigated. At that time, the newspaper was also trying to calm things down, so it was hastily settled. ”
