Chapter 45: The First Step of the Long March
Compared with the encounter to the north, Luo Fangyi seemed to be much luckier. But a thought arose in her heart, she always felt that she was a deserter, a deserter who was not even qualified to hold a weapon.
Even if a college student who has never experienced the baptism of the workplace does not become a deserter, what can she do in the face of this battle? She does not have a particularly rational and objective understanding of the cruelty of workplace competition and the seriousness of this incident.
Luo Fangyi is a native of Hedong, and his parents and elder brother live in Hedong City. Despite this, Luo Fangyi rarely goes home, firstly, because of her heavy schoolwork, and secondly, she has grown up under the "wings" of her parents since she was a child, and now that she can finally have the day when she can fly freely, her heart is naturally full of sea and sky.
After her internship at the Bac Giang Evening News, Luo Fangyi returned to school and continued her university life. Luo Fangyi studied a major of only two academic years. The first year of graduate school is full of basic courses, and together with students from other majors, he discusses the basic knowledge of professional academics in a large classroom that can accommodate 100 people. In the first half of the second year, she started a course in the professional direction, there were only five or six students in the whole class, there was no fixed model in the classroom, everyone prepared in advance for the propositions assigned by the tutor, and gave their own academic opinions in class.
However, in addition to these compulsory courses, for graduate students, the first priority before graduation is the graduation thesis assigned by the full supervisor. Different from undergraduate education, in graduate education, a basic requirement for students is to complete an academic article in the spirit of independence, the so-called independent spirit, requires students to have their own ideas, their own opinions, write an academic paper with their own point of view, generally speaking, the number of words required for graduate students is 3 to 50,000 words, although the requirements for completing a book are much lower than those for doctoral students when they graduate, but this is not an easy thing for every graduate student.
These days, Luo Fangyi spends his days in the library, collecting all kinds of materials at home and abroad, in Chinese and English. Of course, in addition to the sources of articles marked with [1], [2], [3], an important writing material in her essay is what she saw and felt during her internship at the Bac Giang Evening News. Theoretical knowledge is important, but sometimes it is much more practical than book knowledge.
"Fang Yi, you're stuck in the stacks of books all day long, don't you even want me?" her boyfriend Qin Motian dragged her out of the school library, with a posture of not giving up without making it clear.
Students came and went in the school, and occasionally classmates passed by, and Luo Fangyi greeted them with some embarrassment.
"I'm not trying to catch my graduation thesis, it's so hard to write, my head is too big. By the way, how is your paper doing?"
Qin Motian: "You are really real, why are you working so hard." I'll tell you, I found someone to write it from the Internet, which is cheap and worry-free. I inquired for you, and they can write about the topic of your dissertation. You give me the information another day, and I'll pass it on to them. ”
Luo Fangyi: "It's not good to do this, if I can't even write a graduation thesis, then my college life will be too much of a failure." Besides, if this matter is discovered by the school, the consequences will be very serious. Forget it, I'll write it myself. ”
Qin Motian was a little angry: "Anyway, you can't listen to what I say." You're getting more and more assertive now!"
"Mo Tian......" Luo Fangyi was about to explain, but when she heard someone calling her name, she turned around, "Fat Dong, why are you here?"
Luo Fangyi's face was surprised, and then he looked happy. This little chubby dun, with that sense of humor, is really likable.
"Why, I can't come?"
"You're really haunted, you're everywhere. Besides, how did you know I was here. ”
"Didn't I say that there is no one I can't find, and there is nothing I can't do. My fat winter is that ......"
"Who is this man?"
Qin Motian looked puzzled, this person was so familiar with Luo Fangyi, and he was even happier and more casual when he spoke, and he couldn't help but feel jealous in his heart.
"This is Pan Dong, known as Fat Dong in the rivers and lakes, and a friend I met during my internship. He is a provincial Taiwan reporter. Luo Fangyi was sandwiched between the two, and suddenly felt a little awkward, "Fat Dong, this is my boyfriend Qin Motian." ”
"Hello, Qin Motian. Fat Dong took the initiative to stretch out his chubby little hand.
Qin Motian didn't seem to see it, with a hint of disdain in his eyes: "Fang Yi, let's go." ”
"Hey, you wait first, is there something wrong with Fat Dong looking for me. ”
Qin Motian dragged Luo Fangyi in front, but Luo Fangyi was reluctant to take a step.
"Qin Motian, you hurt me! You let go!" Luo Fangyi slammed his hand and broke free.
"What do you mean, this dead fat man is more important than me, right?" Qin Motian suddenly started a fire for some reason.
"Hey, how can you be so rude?" Seeing Qin Motian's angry and disrespectful look, Luo Fangyi was extremely embarrassed, and even wanted to find a gap to get into.
"That's what I said, what's the matter?" Qin Motian stiffened.
"Young man, are you taking the wrong medicine?" Fat Dong finally couldn't help it, and asked the other party, "Dead fat, that's how your parents taught you to speak?"
"Hey, are you not convinced? believe it or not, I will teach you how to obey me?!" Qin Motian said, rushing forward with an arrow step, to grab Fat Dong's collar.
"Qin Motian, are you crazy?" Seeing this, Luo Fangyi hurriedly took two steps forward and blocked between the two of them to prevent Qin Motian from acting aggressively. It's not that she's worried about which of the two will suffer once the battle breaks out, but she feels that she really doesn't have the quality to do this in public.
"Yes, I haven't practiced for a long time, and my hands are itchy. Fat Dong also had an unyielding posture and shouted at Qin Motian.
"Fat Dong, don't add fuel to the fire anymore, he's a stunned young man!"
"Luo Fangyi, are you turning your elbow out?!" Qin Motian heard Luo Fangyi say that he was stunned, and he was angry, and grabbed Luo Fangyi's arm fiercely with one hand, his eyes were full of murderous aura.
"Qin Motian, you hurt me!"
The other party still doesn't let go.
In desperation, Luo Fangyi stretched out his other hand, "Smack!" and left a crisp slap on Qin Motian's face.
"You!" Qin Motian covered his face, not knowing what to say, and after a few seconds, he turned around and left angrily, leaving only Luo Fangyi and Fat Dong stunned there.
"Fang Yi, you go after him. Fat Winter reminded.
"No, you can't get used to him all the time. Faults are habitual. Luo Fangyi looked at the distant back and said viciously.
"This kid is quite angry. Hey, I'm gossiping, how long have you been together?"
"Why is this asking?"
"Curious. ”
"It's been more than a year. ”
"No wonder. He must be very attentive. ”
"Why do you say that?"
"I'm very accurate in my opinion. Fang Yi, he's not for you. ”
"Whether it's suitable or not, you don't count. Luo Fangyi was even more depressed by Fat Dong's words, "Are you making trouble for me?" Is there anything else, I still have to be busy without anything else." ”
"If you don't say it, I forgot about it. Fang Yi, I have a project to make money, do you want to do it together?"
"What's the project?"
"Let's not talk about it here, it's cold. Let's go to the café. ”
The school's coffee bar was deserted, with only three or four students sitting next to the window, sipping a small cup of coffee and enjoying the laziness in the winter sun.
"Two lattes. Fat Dong ordered good coffee, and the two of them also found a window seat to sit down. In the hall is an old song "kiss the rain", which is very old but also classic.
"I took a job, a 700,000 project," Fat Dong was full of energy, completely forgetting the embarrassed appearance in front of the library just now, "There is a unit that needs to shoot a feature film, thirty minutes, and also interview some characters." ”
"I don't know much about TV. How can I help you?"
"I calculated that after deducting the rental, post-production, and personnel expenses of cameras, jibs, tracks, and lighting, there are more than 300,000 left. This is a big job, and this vote can be worth a year's salary. I can solve the technical problems here, but I haven't got the personnel together yet. I'll have to find a few reliable ones. I think you can. ”
"I'm laughing, I don't know anything, don't you think I'm a college student and can be used as cheap labor. ”
"Of course not. I want you to take the lead. There are thirty or forty interviewees in this film, and there are too many people, so there has to be a person with clear thinking and a sense of intimacy to interview. You have a good brain and a good image, which is a perfect fit. The more Fat Dong talked, the more excited he became, as if it was about to be done.
"Pull it down, it's not like I don't want to help you. I know how many pounds and taels I have. You'd better find someone else. ”
"I know better than you how many pounds and taels you have. Fang Yi, let's do it, you take 30% of this money, it's sincere enough. To be honest, I just wanted to test the water this time. My goal is to build my own media empire. This is just the first step in a long march. ”
This fat winter is indeed wide-ranging, with many ideas, and people are also lively. His dream of a media empire may come true one day.
"Still, no. I still have to write my dissertation and look for a job. I have so much to do. ”
"Think about it again, don't rush to give me an answer. "The filming plan for the feature film has not yet started, and Fat Dong doesn't want to be rejected so soon.
However, finding a job is indeed a headache for Luo Fangyi. The year-end and New Year holidays are the peak recruitment season for fresh graduates. These days, Luo Fangyi goes to participate in various recruitment activities organized on and off campus almost every week. Participating in campus recruitment is not an easy task. Early in the morning, Luo Fangyi had to put on a formal suit, and then put on a down jacket to rush to the job fair.
Such a tense and hectic day lasted until the Spring Festival. On this day, Luo Fangyi had just finished writing the chapter of the day's graduation thesis in the library and was about to go to the cafeteria for lunch, but saw a push message on the mobile phone news:
"Blackmailing the interviewee-Beijiang Evening News has such a reporter, what a scum among journalists!"
Luo Fangyi thinks that this is just a self-media article mixed with personal emotions, and this kind of article usually has a common pattern: the title is very long, usually 23 characters have to be accounted for, but the article is very short, in order to support the length of the manuscript, it is usually interspersed with some irrelevant pictures or painless text introductions. However, she discovers that the protagonist involved in this article is someone he knows so well - Xiang Bei.
Luo Fangyi read this article carefully, and the anger in his heart kept rising, "extortion" and "fraud", how could it be! How could Master be such a person!
Luo Fangyi found the number heading north and dialed him.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off......"
Shut down? Luo Fangyi tried to dial it again, but he still couldn't get through! What happened to Master?
In desperation, Luo Fangyi searched for relevant articles on the Internet and found that the news about the false reports and paid reports of the Beijiang Evening News occupied the front page or headlines of many portals.
Luo Fangyi was in confusion when his mobile phone suddenly rang. It's Luo Yuchen.
"Hey, brother. ”
"Fang Yi, did you see the news?"
"What news?" Luo Fangyi pretended not to know and asked Luo Yuchen rhetorically.
"Needless to say, about the Beijiang Evening News, about the paid news of Xiangbei!" Luo Yuchen said, "The bureau just held a meeting in the morning, and it talked about this matter!"
"Brother, do you have any clues?"
"Bac Giang Newspaper Group has called the police. Cybersecurity colleagues are investigating the source of the whistleblower letter. I can't tell if it's true or not. However, we have already contacted the Bac Giang Evening News and should soon conduct an investigation into the whistleblower incident. ”
"How so?" Luo Fangyi was puzzled.
"Fang Yi, there are some things that I can't say more to you. Luo Yuchen said. "By the way, your internship at Beijiang Evening News is also over, how sure are you that you can stay?"
"Brother, it's not like you don't know that the incident in Luohe Village last time caused an uproar in the entire newspaper, and Master and I were punished for it. You asked me if I could be hired?heh, I guess it's no fun!" Luo Fangyi sighed, "But it doesn't matter, I have interviewed a few units recently, and I feel okay, just wait for the results of the interview." ”
"I don't understand your career orientation in this major, I only care about what job you can get. Mom and Dad, now you are the focus of the whole family! Let me ask you, in your major, is the position of newspaper reporter the best choice for graduation?"
"Yes, but you may not be able to become a journalist, and sometimes it depends on the right time, place, and people. ”
"Fang Yi, there are some things you don't understand, you may think that you can have a decent job now. Brother doesn't feel the same way as you. After graduation, the first step is to be cautious, once you make a mistake, there is no chance to start over! Many times, you are not different from others, education, ability, professional knowledge...... But now the competition for jobs is too fierce, and you can't just rely on your ability to find a job!"
"Brother, I know what you mean, but I want to get a job in my own way, whether it's good or bad, and I want to do my best. ”
"Listen to my brother, when looking for a job, you must not be rash, you just think it's okay......"
