The office of the Southern Morning Post is a 30-storey high-rise building in the downtown area. Although compared with the skyscrapers everywhere around, the Morning News Building is not too eye-catching, but for Lin Meimei, it is already an eye-opener.

That's a momentum.

A kind of self-shame that makes Lin Meimei and others feel ashamed, and they feel that they are ashamed of Grandma Liu when they enter the Grand View Garden.

Guo Yang walked in, negotiated with the security guard in the lobby, took out the letter of introduction from himself and others, and then dialed the phone number of Dongfang Jing, deputy editor-in-chief of the Southern Morning News, with his mobile phone according to the contact information given by Zhao Guoqing.

Dongfang Jing speaks fluent standard Mandarin, and when she heard that Zhao Guoqing, an old classmate of the Northern Morning News, had sent someone to study and exercise on a temporary basis, Dongfang Jing hurriedly made a phone call to Anna, director of the news department: "Xiao An, what about the person I asked you to pick up?"

Dongfang Jing was actually a little unhappy in her heart.

Although she is the deputy editor-in-chief of the Southern Morning News, she is in charge of business, and she confessed, but Anna did not pick it up, which always made her feel that she had lost a little face in front of her old classmate Zhao Guoqing.

Anna pretended to be stunned and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Dongfang, I'm so busy that I forgot about it! Don't worry, I'll drive over to pick up someone right away, go right away!"

Anna said that she would go immediately, but in fact she was still looking through her magazine.

Dongfang Jing sighed: "Forget it, you don't have to pick it up, they took a taxi by themselves, in this way, you go down and pick it up, and I will meet with them in the conference room in a while, and then I will be placed in your news department to study and exercise, for half a year." You also help them find a place to stay and settle down. ”

After speaking, Dongfang Jing hung up the phone.

Anna put down the phone receiver, and her face was a little unsightly. She thought that these people from the Northern Morning News had come to Dongfang Jing to sue her for her black state, otherwise how would Dongfang Jing know that she didn't send someone to pick her up?

Anna looked at Zhang Jie, a subordinate reporter next door to her, and wanted Zhang Jie to go down and bring people up, but suddenly thought about it again, and felt that a few little people from a small newspaper in the north didn't need to be too used to it, so she said lightly to Zhang Jie: "Zhang Jie, the people from the Northern Morning News are here, you call the security guards below, and ask them to report to me on the fifteenth floor!"

Zhang Jie hummed, then lowered her head and called the security guard downstairs.

The security guard naturally conveys the meaning of the boss truthfully.

Guo Yang was really a little angry. This is not a question of slacking off or not, after all, they are people from another newspaper, the unit is large and small, but the dignity and decency cannot be lost, and the people of the Southern Morning Post are also arrogant, and even basic etiquette is missing.

But Guo Yang naturally won't show it.

If he comes, he will be safe, and he can't take Lin Meimei and the four of them back the same way because he is angry.

Guo Yang and the five of them dragged large bags of luggage into the elevator and went directly to the fifteenth floor. After getting out of the elevator, Guo Yang looked around at the wide and bright business hall around him, and there were crowds of people behind the partitions, all of whom were busy with their heads bowed.

A girl in her twenties, thin and slightly dark-skinned, with delicate eyebrows, walked over with light steps wearing a badge, looked Guo Yang and the five people up and down a few times, and then chuckled: "Are you from the Northern Province? Please follow me!"

The girl is none other than Zhang Jie. Reporter of the News Department of the Southern Morning Post.

The system of the Southern Morning Post is completely different from that of the Northern Morning Post, and the system of vertical management and editing is adopted, and the editor is also a reporter at the same time, and whoever picks and writes the manuscript is the editor, and after the editing is done, the editor-in-chief will publish the paper, which is very efficient.

Therefore, as the business department of the Southern Morning Post, the Information Department is the largest and largest department, with nearly 100 people. This includes editorial staff who are scattered across the Southern Province and city stations.

Zhang Jie took Guo Yang and the five people into the reception room of the Ministry of Information, turned around and left, without even letting a glass of water. Although there is a water dispenser indoors, Guo Yang and a few people are new guests after all, and they are always a little embarrassed to give themselves to themselves.

I waited from two o'clock to three o'clock, and waited for an hour. But no one came to the meeting.

Lin Meimei couldn't hold her breath anymore, she was a little irritable, and kept urging Guo Yang to call Dongfang Jing.

Guo Yang's expression was gloomy.

He didn't expect that the first day of coming to the Southern Morning Post would be so unsmooth, and he was inexplicably snubbed by others and given an inexplicable dismissal.

You said that your big newspaper is true, but you Dongfang Jing is busy with work and has no time to meet people, so it is not an exaggeration to arrange for a middle-level person to come out and meet and settle a few of us down first, right?

But Guo Yang knew that this call could not be made, and the current situation was unknown, once the call was made, it was estimated that their life in the Southern Morning News would be even more difficult.

It wasn't until half past four that the door of the reception room opened, and an elegant young woman in her early thirties with tall and delicate facial features came in, this woman walked with her head held high, her eyes were strong, Guo Yang thought it was Dongfang Jing, but she heard the other party take the initiative to introduce herself: "My name is Anna, I am the director of the news department of the Southern Morning News, and a few of you are from the Northern Morning News, right?"

Anna's words were not enthusiastic, and certainly not cold. But from her words, Guo Yang could hear her arrogance and arrogance.

The middle level of the business of the big newspaper can be regarded as an elite person with a successful career in this special economic zone city. Anna faced Guo Yang, a few dirt buns from a small place in her eyes, and it was inevitable that she would be a little arrogant.

Guo Yang took a deep breath, got up and said with a smile: "Director An, my name is Guo Yang, and these are several of my colleagues...... We came to the Southern Morning News to learn and exercise, please arrange our work!"

Anna's scrutinizing gaze swept over Guo Yang, and said lightly: "Don't be in a hurry to work first, you can settle down first." Wait, I'll see you later, and I'll have someone find you a place to stay—"

Speaking of this, Anna paused and said, "However, the rent of the houses around our newspaper office is relatively expensive, do you have a guarantee of funds?"

Guo Yang smiled: "It's okay, please ask Director An to help us rent a suite from the neighborhood, a three-bedroom apartment is fine, there are five of us, and we live in a house." ”

If you want to rely on Guo Yang, you will definitely book a room from the surrounding hotels. But he doesn't care about the cost, but Lin Meimei can't bear it, the newspaper gives limited funds, and he has to consider the financial pressure of the four of them.

Guo Yang has already thought about renting a three-bedroom apartment, and Lin Meimei will live with four people. He found an apartment nearby to live in, and did not occupy the newspaper's expenses. It's not that he doesn't want to share a house with Lin Meimei and the four of them, it's just that he usually has to deal with the company's affairs, and it's not convenient for outsiders to be there.

This trip out, the rental cost is borne by the newspaper. Round-trip travel expenses are borne by the newspaper. The daily diet newspaper provides a subsidy of 20 yuan a day per person. For the Northern Morning News, this is a relatively high salary, but in a place like Shenzhen, where every inch of land is expensive, it is really not enough to spend.

Anna sighed, said no more, turned around and walked out of the reception room.

……

When Dongfang Jing came, it was already more than half past five in the afternoon. Dongfang Jing and Zhao Guoqing are the same age, in their early forties, with a plump body and elegant temperament, her person is very gentle and has no slightest, she said a few kind words to Guo Yang and the five people in the reception room, and threw Guo Yang and the others to Anna.

Although Dongfang Jing said that she would ask Anna to arrange a dinner for Guo Yang and a few people to pick up the wind and wash the dust, Anna obviously did not move at all. Dongfang Jing also said that she would ask Anna to arrange someone to help Guo Yang and the five people settle down, but Anna just threw Guo Yang a phone card from the landlord of the rental house, and hastily instructed them to come to the newspaper at ten o'clock tomorrow morning to report to her, and she didn't care anymore.

Lin Meimei and the four of them were angry, but they couldn't attack in person.

Guo Yang had a calm face, took Lin Meimei and the four of them to leave the Southern Morning News Building with their luggage, stood at the door of the building and dialed the landlord's phone, and then crossed the two roads according to the address on the business card, and entered the community where he wanted to rent a house.

The house is good, three bedrooms and two living rooms, more than 100 square meters, very spacious. The decoration is also good, and there are wooden floors on the floor. It's just that the rent of 2,000 a month made Lin Meimei and the four of them gasp, and this month's rent is higher than their salary.

Lin Meimei's resentment of being neglected and neglected quickly dissipated because of the problem of the house, and they each found their favorite rooms - Peng Chun and Ou Yang are two people, men always have to suffer a little loss and have a little demeanor, Lin Meimei and Huang Ping are one person, the living room, bathroom and kitchen are shared, and they are all happy.

As for Guo Yang, he continued to drag his luggage to Pengcheng Hotel, a star-rated hotel outside the community, and booked a room for a long time, and paid a month's deposit first.

After tossing, I took another shower, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Lin Meimei called: "Guo Yang, have you eaten?"

Guo Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Forget it, you guys go, I'm a little tired and want to sleep." ”

Lin Meimei did not insist.

Guo Yang was lying on the soft Simmons bed in his pajamas, staring at the bustling night scene of the deep city through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Although he was very tired, Guo Yang did not feel sleepy at all.

Coming to the Southern Morning News to learn and exercise was not in his plan. But it's all here, and there's nothing to regret. Anyway, now the information is smooth, and he can still control the development of Ai Bing Group even in the south.

After thinking about it, Guo Yang dialed Shen Xiaoman's phone.

"Guo Yang, have you arrived in Shencheng?"

"Well, I just stayed. ”

Shen Xiaoman complained: "You went to the big coastal city in the south to have a good time, and I was very busy at home." I took a few people to Bluestar Steel today, Guo Yang, I feel that although you and the Zhou family are not outsiders, they ...... I think it's actually going to be difficult for us to take over. ”
