From a distance, a large round ball ten meters high glowed with golden light in the morning sun. Walking in, a map of Shanghai's outline is inlaid on it, and subway lines shuttle through the city, like a long dragon lurking here, shining brightly. Behind the golden ball is a fan-shaped building, with the golden ball as the center of a circle, forming a fan-shaped shape with a 48-degree angle. A seven-storey building, behind which is a 40-story high-rise building, draped in several glittering characters of Shanghai Media Oriental Co., Ltd.

Zhang Yongzheng looks at such a magnificent company and such a broad platform, and his future development has a direction. Walking into the hall, it was so spacious and magnificent, but I was stopped when I found the elevator entrance. The security guard looked at Zhang Yongzheng and said, "What are you here for?"

Zhang Yongzheng didn't know how to answer when he was asked for a while, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I am a newcomer who came to the company to report." ”

The security guard didn't look at him, and said boredly: "Which company's new employee, do you have the phone number of your department manager, let him come down to pick you up." ”

Zhang Yongzheng said with some confusion: "Which company, isn't there only Shanghai Media Oriental Co., Ltd." here?"

The security guard said impatiently: "Ask you what to say, why do you talk so much nonsense, and call your department manager." ”

Zhang Yongzheng looked at the security guard with some unconvinced, why is it so troublesome, but he just wants to go in, how can a security guard be so angry, but he can't break in. I had to take out my mobile phone and dial the department manager's phone, and after a ring, "Hey, is it Manager Zhang?" I'm a newcomer who came in this year, Xiao Zhang. ”

A sweet woman's voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Oh, is there something wrong with Xiao Zhang?"

Zhang Yongzheng glanced at the security guard and said, "Didn't you come to the company to report today? I am now in the lobby of the company, and I was stopped by the security guard, and I can't pass the curfew." ”

The other end of the phone paused for a while and said, "Xiao Zhang, you give the phone to the security guard, and I'll talk to him." ”

"Okay. Zhang Yongzheng took off his mobile phone, and then said to the security guard: "Security guard, our manager wants to talk to you, she can't come down now." ”

The security guard took the phone, heard the voice, and then chatted a few words, and quickly changed his face, and nodded again and again to say yes. The security guard handed over the phone, and Zhang Yongzheng took the phone. The security guard's face changed again, without a trace of a smile, and said stiffly with a very unfamiliar expression: "Wait a minute, I'll give you that key card." ”

Soon pass through the access control, enter the elevator, and find the floor you are going to. But now it's rush hour, and the elevator entrance is full of people, after all, people on all floors have to take these elevators up. Zhang Yongzheng looked at so many people, and couldn't help but sigh that the subway was crowded on the road, the company was crowded with elevators, and life was crowded everywhere. Squeezed on the elevator with difficulty, came to the destination, looked at the mobile phone, an hour and twenty minutes, but I didn't expect to send an hour to go to work.

Zhang Yongzheng walked into the company, saw the front desk asking where the magazine department was, and then walked in. Soon came to his own department, and saw six people from a distance, all working. A tall and long-haired woman walked over and beckoned to him, and Zhang Yongzheng immediately walked over, this was Zhang Lan, the department manager who interviewed him at the time.

Zhang Lan saw Zhang Yongzheng coming over, and said with a smile: "I came very early today, I have to keep it in the future, you sit down first, there is a new colleague today, and when she comes, I will arrange it for you." ”

Then take him to find a seat and sit down, next to a long-haired little beauty wearing glasses, giving people the feeling of a small family. The little beauty looked up at Zhang Yongzheng with a hint of a smile, and a sharp tiger tooth showed and said, "You are a new colleague this year." ”

"Yes, just came over today to report. Zhang Yongzheng replied in a low voice.

The little beauty stretched out her snow-white hand and said, "My name is Lin Xiao and I'm an editor, what about you?"

Zhang Yongzheng also stretched out his hand to hold it, and said with a slight smile: "Zhang Yongzheng, I will also be an editor in the future, my predecessors are so beautiful, you can take more care of me in the future." ”

Lin Xiao chuckled and said, "It's really sweet if you don't have a big mouth, and besides, you are also very handsome, someone will definitely take care of you." ”

This sentence made Zhang Yongzheng a little incomprehensible, and he just wanted to ask, "Zhang Yongzheng, come over here." Zhang Lan's voice sounded.

Zhang Yongzheng withdrew his hand and said, "I'll go over first, and we'll talk when I come back." Then he walked to Zhang Lan's office, pushed open the door, and a woman wearing an orange top but accompanied by a black hip skirt had long black hair, giving people a strange feeling.

Zhang Lan looked at the two of them and said, "You two are new today, I will take you to the personnel department to go through the entry procedures, and take your ID card and the documents you need to bring for entry." ”

Both of them nodded and replied, Zhang Lan stood up and continued: "After completing such procedures, you two will go to the 105th Hospital of the People's Liberation Army for a physical examination, and I will give you the address later." After the medical examination, you will go back, and tomorrow you will be officially employed and worked. Without giving the two of them time to react, they walked over and pushed the door open, and the two of them hurriedly followed.

After coming to the personnel department to explain a few words, after the two took out the documents required for entry, Zhang Lan gave them an address and said, "You go for a physical examination and come to work on time tomorrow." ”

After the two of them responded, they took the address and went downstairs to prepare for a physical examination, and in the elevator, Zhang Yongzheng looked at the obedient girl and said, "My name is Zhang Yongzheng, I don't know what you call it." ”

"Ying Cailian" was dismissed with a simple sentence, and there was no other word.

Zhang Yongzheng suddenly felt a cold scene, he didn't know what to say in the face of such a woman, to say that his cold temperament was far from Lin Xiandu. Lin Xiandui is cold and people dare not approach, cold and noble, and this girl named Ying Cailian is cold with a hint of weirdness, and her cold face obviously says that people should not approach. In an elevator surrounded by cold walls on all sides, it was really a cold journey in the face of such a cold face. was speechless all the way, Zhang Yongzheng didn't think of a topic, and wanted to say a few words, but he was pushed back by one sentence, and then there was no follow-up. The two of them stood in a corner of the subway, there was no communication, they were completely two strangers, even when they went to the hospital for a physical examination, they also had no words and no communication. Ying Cailian just mechanically completes everything, does not drag mud and water, completes one and the next, and says 'I'll go home' after the end, and then leaves directly.

This is the first time Zhang Yongzheng has come into contact with a new colleague, why is it so difficult to get along with, wearing an orange top, but giving people a cold feeling. It was noon after the physical examination, and when I looked at the time, I had not packed my luggage at home yet, and I squeezed on the subway to go back. Time flies in the crowd, it's been a long time since I got off the subway and eaten, I ate some food, and I returned to the community, and I didn't take a closer look at the community in a hurry when I came back last night. Six 27-storey high-rise buildings, lined up at one time, enclosed in an ellipse, a pond in the middle, and some simple fitness equipment for the elderly, because it is the summer weather, there is still more green in the community. In general, it feels that this community is still okay, but for Zhang Yongzheng, the community is very luxurious. Think about the place where you used to live, and the dormitory of the university, which is not comparable to the place where you live now, although the room is only a few square meters in size, but it is your own independent space.

When he returned to the room, he packed up all the clothes he brought over, a small single-layer wardrobe, and after Zhang Yongzheng finished packing up all the clothes, it seemed a little empty. After all the clothes in the suitcase were packed, a pure black box of about three feet square was revealed, and the wooden box that Song Guoqiang gave him yesterday was found, and put the two boxes together, these things can't be opened now. The black box was handed over to him by Zhang Yongzheng's father before he died, and hoped that he would never open this box for the rest of his life. Now I can't figure these things out, let alone spy on the secrets, so I can only put them away first.

Time flies, and before I know it, the sun has set, and the day is going to pass like this, and busy people begin to think about whether they should go back. People who have a home, return home to start a new busy, people who don't have a home, where can they go back, a room of a few square meters, surrounded by white walls, no one to accompany them, not even a person to talk to, back to the place where they live is even more lonely and helpless. The hard-working worker dragged his tired and tired body that could no longer move, returned to the collective apartment, and lay on the Chase bunk with his head bored, sleeping unconscious, all the hard work and helplessness were waved away in the fatigue, leaving only the exhausted body. Even more bitter people, in this magic capital, there is not even a place to live, find a familiar roadside, a familiar park, find a place to sleep all night, lie on the spot, the ground is the bed day quilt, the night is like this, chic, sad and painful tears, who can understand, all suffering must be swallowed by themselves.

Zhang Yongzheng was lying on the bed alone, and at this time in the past, in the school dormitory, it was a lively moment. Everyone will go to the dormitory, and the Kan Dashan Conference is about to start, and a group of people are chattering, so lively. A group of students, from the north and south of the world to the beautiful girl in the next class, from astronomy and geography to where to go to the toilet this morning, from national politics to today's most absenteeism. There are always endless topics to talk about, endless words. But now I was alone in the empty room around me, and although it was summer, there was no warmth at all. Now I know that it is difficult to find someone to chat with in the society, and the good memories are always sad and bitter when I taste them now, and these must be buried deep in my heart, and I can't go back, and the memory will be sealed in the dust after all.

Groggy and sleeping, there is no passionate talk before falling asleep, and there is no snoring of companions, the room is quiet, but the silence is suffocating, but you can only let yourself fall asleep in a drowsy way, not solid at all. It was late at night, it was summer weather, it was still a little hot, the windows were open, and a cool breeze could not blow in.

A butterfly with blue wings dances with a pair of wings that are particularly dazzling at night. Flying gently into this small room, the blue wings scattered a pale blue light every time they danced, and they dissipated into the night in a few moments. The blue butterfly danced aimlessly in this room, flying directly above Zhang Yongzheng's body, the two tentacles collided lightly together, the body fell slowly to the forehead, the antennae went up, the blue wings were still dancing, and the blue light was scattered on Zhang Yongzheng's face layer by layer, looking so noble and sacrosanct.

At some point, the blue butterfly disappeared from the room, and everything became normal. The morning sun shines in, and it's still so dazzling. Zhang Yongzheng opened his eyes in a daze, feeling as if he had been asleep for a year, getting up from bed with difficulty, brushing his teeth and washing his face mechanically. Today is the first day of work, I am a media worker, and I can't dress as casually as when I was a student, so I put on a suit and rushed out.

The road is still so crowded, the only fortunate thing is that the subway will not be jammed, will not delay time, as long as you get up on time and squeeze the subway, you will arrive at the company on time. After the baptism of squeezing the subway for the first time, today's Zhang Yongzheng squeezed up much faster than the first day, what rules, what queues, in order to squeeze into this crowded subway, everything will die. When I arrived at the company, I saw that Ying Cailian was also here, and she also wore a formal suit today, but it was still an orange suit, where to buy a suit of this color, it was really rare.

Zhang Yongzheng walked over and came to the place where the magazine department worked. A very tall man stood up, more than one meter nine tall, covered in flesh, giving people the feeling of a tall mountain, a slightly long hair, his head was oily, his face was full of meat, giving people a fierce feeling, a black suit, looking extremely ill-fitted, holding a huge belly, feeling that the shirt inside would be torn by it at any time. opened the incomparably huge mouth and said, "You are the new Zhang Yongzheng." ”

With such a big body, anyone standing in front of him was a little scared, and Zhang Yongzheng replied softly 'yes'. The man left his seat and walked over to an empty seat and said, "That's your seat over there, I'll go to the personnel department to get some necessary equipment for the job." ”

Zhang Yongzheng nodded quickly and said, "Thank you, I know." Then I hurried to my place of work and saw that my workbench was decent, a separate workbench that was separated, and a computer, although the space was not large, but it was enough to concentrate on my work. On either side of the adjoining were two men, one with eyes and head in his hands on the computer, the other looking very thin, giving the impression that a gust of wind could blow it out of sight, reading to a pile of newspapers with a frown. These two are old employees, that is, their seniors, Zhang Yongzheng immediately greeted, "Hello two seniors, I am my new colleague Zhang Yongzheng." ”

The man with glasses woke up from his daze, glanced at him, and said in a somewhat low tone: "My name is Huang Hua, my predecessor is not counted, you can call my name." ”

When the other man heard the voice, he immediately put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up with a smile, stretched out his hand to cover Zhang Yongzheng's hand, and said very happily: "My name is Cao Ge, and I am a reporter in our department. ”

Zhang Yongzheng also smiled and said a few words to him, and Huang Hua, who was wearing glasses, gave him a look that he didn't care, and everything had nothing to do with him. The thin Cao Ge was full of smiles, laughing all the time, very eager, and had to say a few words about everything. Several other colleagues were preparing for their work, and Zhang Yongzheng was sitting in his seat, turning on the computer, but he didn't know what he should do.

Zhang Lan was dressed neatly, lifted her long hair and said in a commanding tone: "Everyone has time to put away the work at hand, two new colleagues are here today, let's go to the small conference hall for a meeting." ”
