6. Chapter VI
Jinglian Newspaper has been established for the 20th year, and although it is a head shorter than those big newspapers with a long history and deep roots in China, after several years of hard work, it has gradually become a relatively mainstream political and economic media in the city, and the examination and application process is very strict.
Huo Hui was half an airborne soldier, and as soon as he appeared at the door of the newspaper office, he felt a strong strange atmosphere.
In order to take up her post today and leave a good impression of generosity and cleanliness to her leaders and colleagues, she really cleaned up herself, a well-cut white shirt, a gray-blue pullover with a sweat shoulder, jeans of the same color, and a pair of high heels.
In the third year of high school, the school organized a physical examination, and Huo Hui's height column was written 169.9, and later several physical tests were organized during college, but every year, the 0.1 that Huo Hui was looking forward to never grew.
The shoes on her feet are five centimeters tall, a tall height of 1.74 meters, standing outside the office door, it is difficult not to attract the attention of others.
Huo Hui responded politely to everyone's gaze, a little restrained: "Hello everyone." β
A person stood up in the seat, as if he was in charge, and nodded at her with a smile: "Hello, is there something wrong?" β
Huo Hui handed over his file and a letter of recommendation from the magazine, explaining the situation: "I'm here to report, trainee reporter, Huo Hui." β
Hearing this, the people sitting below quickly exchanged glances.
I've long heard that there is going to be a newcomer in the group recently.,It's the affiliated magazine that insists on sending it.,I thought it was the relationship between the leaders of the society.,Unexpectedly,It's a beauty.γ
The person in charge took the file and quickly smiled politely: "Xiao Huo, I have already received a notice, come in." After speaking, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand and shake her hand: "My name is Shen Yanli, and I am the deputy leader of our life group, you can just call me Sister Shen." β
After finishing speaking, Shen Yanli quickly looked at Huo Hui.
The shoes on the feet are JimmyChoo, the classic, it should be some years old, and the sweater on the outside is Brunello Cucunelli, bag...... I can't see the brand, but it doesn't seem to be a bargain.
When a woman sees a woman, it is inevitable that she will compete, and when she sees Huo Hui, Shen Yanli couldn't figure out where she came from, but she still decided to get closer to her first.
"Our team leader is talking in the editor-in-chief's office, come, I'll take you in."
The editor-in-chief of the newspaper is a middle-aged man about fifty years old, surnamed Du, with thin hair, a red face, and a very festive appearance.
"Yes, yes, I can trust the person recommended by Mr. Zhao, we have another youth army in our club, and I will work hard in the future."
After speaking, the editor-in-chief handed several samples written by Huo Hui to the man across the desk: "It's also a person under you, the foundation is good, take it with me." β
Huo Hui stood in the middle of the office, the chair facing away from her.
The man took it and flipped it over, and only after a while did he get up from his seat and nodded at her: "Yan Jin, your team leader." β
He wore glasses, a gray shirt, and very formal work clothes, this was the top boss, Huo Hui bowed to him dogly: "Hello team leader." β
After the introduction was completed, the editor-in-chief waved his hand with a smile: "Let's go, our magazine has a happy event today, and we will all go to 402 for a meeting in a while, Xiaohuo, you will follow." β
While speaking, the editor-in-chief got up and walked out of the office, Huo Hui stood at the door, subconsciously opened the door for the editor-in-chief, Yan Jin saw it in his eyes, and sneered in his heart, he was not very old, his mind was not on work, but he was a person who would slap horses.
The conference room is divided into two circles, the editor-in-chief sits in the head position, and the inner circle is the deputy editor-in-chief, the leader of each group, the deputy leader, and the outermost circle is a trainee like Huo Hui, the editor-in-chief is very easy-going, everyone meets, he is not very strict, compared to the title of the editor-in-chief, he prefers everyone to call him Lao Du.
Lao Du first introduced Huo Hui, a newcomer, and then summarized last week's work and key follow-up news, it can be seen that everyone is very professional, the whole meeting, basically no gossip, the pen in everyone's hand has not stopped, the meeting is at the end, Lao Du cleared his throat, obviously there is something important to say.
"There's something I won't say, you may all know about it, this is a great thing for our society, and it's also an opportunity to show your face."
Huo Hui sat by the door, listening with his eyelids down, obviously not paying too much attention.
Lao Du coughed twice, put his hands on his double chin, that was his classic action when announcing the news, he first carefully looked at everyone present, and then satisfied with everyone's expectant and nervous expressions, before pretending to be stern and said:
"The day after tomorrow, a forum on international security will be held in the Great Hall of the People's Republic of China, which is very large, and there are also a lot of departments and politicians participating in the meeting, all of whom are big figures.
After speaking, the conference room was still for three seconds, and then I heard Lao Du's excited voice: "Comrades, congratulations!! β
The conference room burst into warm and excited applause.
The applause came too suddenly, Huo Hui was startled, and quickly put down the pen and slapped it twice. The applause faded, and Lao Du waved his hand to signal that everyone was okay.
Then he said: "There are three places in total, the competition is fierce, and I am scratching my head. β
"The camera crew is all big men, pick a strong one, everyone is the same, the remaining two are facades, you have to have experience, you have to have the ability to work, everyone recommends them?"
Lao Du is a more democratic person, never do that set of internal decisions, many things are put on the bright side of everyone to talk about, who can do and who can't, colleagues who have worked for many years, there must be a candidate in their hearts.
Bi Tong, the leader of the current affairs group, is an old man in this line, 46 this year, has enough work experience, and is also very stable, on this occasion, I don't want to ask how sharp and sharp questions I can ask, but I want to do my duty, this is the first time that the Beijing Union Newspaper has participated in such a pompous forum, so I am naturally cautious and cautious.
The camera is there, the reporter in charge of the home stadium is there, and the rest is a faΓ§ade.
What faΓ§ade?
Those who can represent the image of the newspaper, have good expression skills, and are young and beautiful are the faΓ§ade. This faΓ§ade is both male and female, you don't need to know how to do things, just quietly follow behind the team leader, help get a bag, and follow the notes.
A person with a good image, if he is remembered, his popularity is far faster than an honest manuscript.
Huo Hui first arrived, had no right to speak, and sat in the corner to listen to the results.
Everyone is talking about it, there are many young people in the society, there is no shortage of talents who have graduated from famous schools, have good academic qualifications and good temperament, debate for a while, self-recommendation, who has a good relationship with whom to help talk, or have a stumbling party on weekdays, the atmosphere is very intense, and in the end, Yan Jin and an assistant to the editor-in-chief were elected.
Lao Du glanced at it, pondered for a while, and muttered: "Yan Jin, you can be regarded as an old fritter, a man, give the opportunity to the young man." β
Everyone knows that Lao Du is biased towards his assistant!
Yan Jin didn't care about spreading his hands: "Of course, fighting for the honor of the newspaper is the same for everyone." β
Lao Du's assistant is a woman who has just been married for two years, in her early thirties, graduated from a graduate degree in journalism, and is usually quite popular in the society.
"Let Huo Hui go."
"Newcomers, you need such an opportunity to exercise."
With a click, the pen in Huo Hui's hand fell on the thick carpet.
She bent down to pick it up, and when she looked up again, the whole room looked into the corner where she was sitting.
Those eyes were like thorns in his back, Huo Hui stood up slowly, and grabbed his hair: "Editor-in-chief, I've just arrived, and I don't understand a lot of things......"
Lao Du disagreed: "You just don't know how to learn!" β
Someone at the bottom was unwilling, and coldly threw out the words: "Editor-in-chief, you are too unfair, choose Sister Song, everyone is convinced, choose Yan Jin, we don't have nothing to say, but Xiao Huo has only been here for a day, and no one has recognized it to arrange such a big job, and you are not afraid of messing things up." β
The deputy editor-in-chief saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly played a round: "Lao Du, although he is recommended by Zhao Lao, his ability must be good, but Xiao Huo is a newcomer after all, and his education and experience are also considerations, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince people." β
"This year...... I really eat with my face. β
I don't know who sighed, and the group of people chuckled lowly.
Huo Hui stood awkwardly at the end of the conference room, and it felt like being stripped of his clothes and humiliated.
Lao Du didn't answer, but asked Huo Hui with a smile: "Xiao Huo, is it true that Zhao Lao said that you can speak three foreign languages?" β
Huo Hui nodded, very frank: "I'm not fine, but I can communicate daily." β
The associate editor quickly asked, "Do you have any degree or exam certificates?" β
Huo Hui hesitated and shook his head: "I have taken IELTS in English, and the others ...... No. β
"That's it!" Lao Du didn't clap his hands, still smiling. "International conferences and international conferences are looking for multilingual compound talents, and the highest level of you here is English level 6, right?"
No one spoke.
Lao Du made up his mind to let Huo Hui go, got up and left, and waved his hand: "Okay, let's be here today, go back Yan Jin, you can tell Xiao Huo about the precautions, after all, it is the people of your group, go out, and you will also have light." β
A group of people stood up and walked away, passing by the door, Huo Hui, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, rubbed her shoulder, looking at her eyes, there was inquiry, emotion, ridicule, and disdain.
People walked past her, Huo Hui always held her head high, straightened her back, and didn't say a word, looking proud and open.
When everyone was almost gone, the door slammed shut, and Huo Hui sighed heavily and wrinkled his face.
She has never been a person who is comfortable in the workplace and is too good at balancing interpersonal relationships. She has always been silent and compromised, although she does not refute, but she also has her own principles of doing things.
What a Rausch meeting, she didn't want to go at all. Go, I completely offended my colleagues, but if I don't go, it is equivalent to refuting the face of the editor-in-chief.
Huo Hui was worried, touched her trouser pocket, it was empty, and then she remembered that when she went out in the morning, she decided to change her mind and throw the cigarette at home, and felt that the occasion was wrong, so she snorted and pulled the door again.
Back in her seat, there was naturally another storm in the cubicle, and before her ass was hot, Yan Jin came out of the office and knocked on her desk with a stern face.
"Come in with me."
