Chapter 56: Duan Yu made trouble again
Wu Mian returned home in a taxi, ordered a takeout to fill his stomach, turned on his computer and browsed some of the largest local community websites to check the latest developments in the "Chai Qing Predicted Stock Price" incident.
The network news has reported the entire process of the press conference in the morning, which has caused a sensation in the industry. Within an hour, the click-through rate exceeded a million. Netizens are talking about this matter enthusiastically, and they are not particularly concerned about whether Chai Qing committed suicide last night.
Although many netizens suspect that the "predicting stock price" incident is boring, and firmly believe that Chai Qing must have played some tricks to achieve such an astonishing accuracy rate, most people still basically believe that this is due to her own ability. After all, Chai Qing was originally a well-known "fund princess", known for her accurate stock selection, and her previous investment results were very good, and it is normal for her accuracy to be a little higher this time, and it is not an incredible miracle.
Many netizens praised and admired Chai Qing, and the two funds managed by her also successfully "stopped the bleeding". Many retail investors had intended to sell it quickly, but now they are saying that they will wait and see for a while. There are a handful of the most optimistic retail investors who even claim to be ready to buy in large quantities.
Wu Mian looked funny, knowing that Chai Qing's crisis had been roughly alleviated, so he put aside this matter for the time being, and turned to log in to his securities account online to check the investment results.
The 10 stock purchase orders he placed yesterday were all completed in the morning market today, and a total of more than 1.8 million yuan was spent. Ten stocks really made five profits and five losses, and after comprehensive settlement, the amount on the book increased by nearly 180,000.
Wu Mian was very happy, and at the same time a little emotional. You must know that in the past, his annual income was about 180,000 yuan, but now he can easily earn a whole year's salary just by typing on the keyboard and following the clues of "Future News".
If you buy high-risk, high-return futures indexes, you will definitely make even more money! As long as you are willing, within a few months, China will have another "billionaire," and it will be an unknown "invisible billionaire"! Hahaha!
The more Wu Mian thought about it, the more excited he became, and he was about to turn on the TV to watch the financial channel, when he suddenly received a call from Qi Haiguang.
"Ah Mian, is it true that you said last time that you could get exclusive clues about entertainment news?" Qi Haiguang shouted straight to the point, "The cover story of this issue of our magazine will be closed the night after tomorrow." Do you have any good clues to give me quickly, I haven't exploded any fierce material in a month, it's all leftovers!"
"Ha, yes, I almost forgot if you didn't mention it!" Wu Mian said with a smile, "Don't worry, there are definitely clues, big ones! But I still have to contact the informant, it will take a little time." Well, I'll call you tonight, and there will be news by nine o'clock at the latest!"
"Okay, then I'll wait for your call!" Qi Haiguang thanked happily.
After the call, Wu Mian thought about it and put down the TV remote control. Originally, he wanted to watch the financial station, but now he can only postpone today's opportunity to "predict the future" in order to help Qi Haiguang.
He knew that Dongjiang Cable TV had an entertainment channel, and at the end of each month, it would broadcast a program called "Memorabilia in the Entertainment Industry" to review the entertainment news of the past month.
Now there are still a few days before the end of September, as long as you watch this program in advance on the TV, you can know what major events will happen in the entertainment industry in the Pearl River Delta region in these last few days, and then select the "fierce material" in Dongjiang Province to provide to Qi Haiguang, and the problem will be solved.
However, the show airs at 8 p.m. Since the "future program" watched on the TV is an integer multiple of 24 hours from the current time, it can only be watched at 8 o'clock tonight.
So Wu Mian simply took a nap, got up at half past two in the afternoon, and rushed to the newspaper office. On the way, he received a text message from an unfamiliar mobile phone number, which was quite long.
- Mian, I opened two new numbers, one for business, and I'll send it to you later. And then there's this number, except that my parents only tell you one person (smiley face symbol). Hey, I really want to see you soon, but there are several senior executives from the Hong Kong headquarters, and we have a long, long meeting this afternoon. Would you like to eat together in the evening?
Although there was no payment, Wu Mian knew that it must be Chai Qing. Her previous mobile phone number was semi-public, and even the call records were clearly investigated, which shocked her, and she must change the number to feel at ease.
He sent a text message back, telling Chai Qing that he estimated that he would have something to do in the afternoon and evening, and if it was not too late after work, he would go to her house to see her. Chai Qing replied with a text message that it doesn't matter how late it is, you can come at any time. I'm waiting for you, I have a lot to say to you.
Wu Mian smiled dumbly, and agreed to the text message.
Back in the office, he sat down and turned on his computer and began to write a news report on "Chai Qing's Predicted Stock Price." Although he knows the whole incident well, he has a lot of reservations when he writes, and he tries to be as flat as possible in terms of angle and wording, so as not to be seen by people with intentions.
As soon as he wrote the beginning, Duan Yu walked in.
Wu Mian pretended not to see it and continued typing. But the cream director walked up to Wu Mian by himself and coughed.
"What are you doing?" asked Wu Mian casually without raising the corners of his eyes.
"Aren't you proud that you successfully tricked me?" Duan Yu said coldly.
"I'm busy. If you have something to say, please put it if you have anything. Wu Mian made a gesture of impatience.
Duan Yu suppressed his anger and said, "The position of interview director is not so easy to sit in. I advise you to think twice! If you are not capable enough, you will fall and your nose will be swollen if you force yourself to sit on it!"
"Thanks for the advice. Wu Mian smiled and said, "However, if you fall from the position of deputy editor-in-chief, won't it be even worse!"
Duan Yu glared at him fiercely for a moment, then suddenly sighed and said, "You don't believe it, do you? Okay, I'll hand over the work of the interview director to you in advance today!"
Wu Mian was stunned. Originally, according to Qianrou's instructions, he would not officially take over as the interview director until next Monday, and originally thought that Duan Yu would try to take revenge in the last two days, such as nitpicking in the manuscript or assigning a large number of interview tasks to exhaust himself, but he didn't expect that this cream boy not only did not do this, but took the initiative to hand over the power in advance.
"To tell you the truth, I'm going to Haizhou City on a business trip, pulling a big sponsorship, and I'm going to leave in half an hour. If you take over early, I'll be happy and relaxed, so I don't have to think about the layout on the way to work!" Duan Yu said with a little interest.
Wu Mian thought that this was the case, and said happily: "Okay, then I will take care of it." You can go without worry, I will be responsible for tomorrow's layout!"
"I hope you can really be responsible, don't end up with a shallow rou to clean up the mess for you. ”
"Absolutely not! I'll take care of her and take care of her. Wu Mian said with a pun.
Duan Yu's eyes erupted with anger, but he didn't attack, and said with a calm face: "Then it's decided." Let's go through the handover formalities!"
In the next ten minutes, Duan Yu threw a bunch of documents and materials to Wu Mian, verbally and hastily explained a number of work items, and then took out an official document with a seal, stating that from 3 o'clock in the afternoon today, Wu Mian would be fully responsible for all editorial work and layout matters.
The two men signed each other, and the handover was completed.
"Good luck. Duan Yu sneered and threw down a sentence, and left with his briefcase.
Wu Mian shrugged, didn't take it seriously, continued to tap on the keyboard, and finished writing the manuscript at hand. Satisfied with his masterpiece, he decided to publish it as the front page headline tomorrow, and he drafted it himself, from the title to the format, without changing a word.
Ha, this is the advantage of having the "right to publish articles"! Only journalists who have this kind of power can be regarded as the real "uncrowned king."
After being proud for a while, Wu Mian looked at the time, it was already a quarter past four in the afternoon, and the office was still empty.
He was a little strange, because every day at four o'clock in the afternoon, there was a pre-editorial meeting, which was presided over by Duan Yu, and the two old editors would definitely attend. Journalists will participate depending on whether they have a mission at the time, and if they don't, they will participate. This belongs to the rule of "lightning does not move".
But it's been more than ten minutes today, and no one shows up in the office except himself!
Wu Mian picked up the microphone and first called an old editor surnamed Wang, who turned off the phone. When I called another person surnamed Ma, the other party immediately picked up, but he actually said that he had resigned.
"What, when did you resign?" Wu Mian was stunned.
"It was last night, when I got off work. ”
"Uh...... I said eldest sister, according to the rules of the industry, after resigning, you should work for another month before officially leaving, at least two weeks, you can't run away like this!" Wu Mian was a little dissatisfied.
"It was approved by Director Duan! What does it matter to you?"
After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, and Wu Mian, who had touched a nail, scolded his mother, thinking that he could only bring the reporters to the meeting first.
At present, there are four reporters in the newspaper, including him, Shen Yihui is still in the internship period, and the remaining two female reporters have about two years of work experience.
However, after Wu Mian called them separately, one of the female reporters claimed that there was an urgent matter at home and had just asked for leave this morning, which was also approved by Duan Yu, while the other was sent by Duan Yu to Zhuzhou, the provincial capital, on a business trip to write a series of soft propaganda drafts for a major client, and it would take three days to return at the earliest.
Lose your mother, it's all Duan Yu's ghost!
Wu Mian suddenly realized why Duan Yu had to "hand over power" in advance. He made it clear that he wanted to make a problem, and deliberately reduced the manpower to a minimum as much as possible, so that he was busy on the first day of taking office, and it was best to make a big mistake in his busyness, and he would "fall down".
Before, there were four reporters and two editors, and Duan Yu himself did his best to make up four pages a day, and I felt like I was already nervous like a war.
Now, four of the seven people have been determined to be missing, and the old editor who turned off the computer doesn't know what happened, I'm afraid it's not very reliable, and the only one who can contribute is the inexperienced Shen Yihui!
Wu Mian frowned, just by himself and Shen Yihui, it is impossible to complete all the work! Even if he has the ability to "predict the future", it is useless, not to mention that he also promised to help Qi Haiguang, today's opportunity to watch TV will be used to watch entertainment news, and he can no longer bring any help to himself.
