After saying goodbye to Lu Xiangyang in a hurry, Tang Tang hadn't seen him for a long time, and he hadn't heard of any moths on Director Zheng's side. She thought that this was the end of the matter, but she did not expect to hear an unusual conversation outside the door of the newsroom two months later.

"Huh, look at Xiao Tang, that little girl is still confused, I don't know that I have created a catastrophe! Look at it, I don't believe how long Editor-in-Chief Zou can carry it for her. Lao Zhang said wantonly in his voice.

I only heard the old Liu Tou on the side warn in a low voice: "You have it, you are all colleagues in the same office, as for falling into the well like this?" Tang Tang, this girl is young and inexperienced, and she has offended people outside, so don't we have to worry about this old bone? ”

"I don't care if I want to bear it!" Lao Zhang snorted coldly, and actually sang a little song, obviously in a good mood.

Old Liu Tou was annoyed when he heard it, and pointed at him and scolded, "You don't open your eyes, we are all prosperous and lossy." If this incident makes the society very angry, what benefit can you get? ”

Lao Zhang was not convinced, and replied nonchalantly: "My bowl of rice is indispensable everywhere, what am I afraid of?" ”

"!"

Lao Liu shouted angrily, completely calming Tang Tang's mind. She thought for a moment, and instead of pushing the door in, she walked straight to the editor-in-chief's office. As soon as I knocked on the door and entered, I immediately smelled a strong smell of smoke.

Even in a small office, there was smoke, and the ashtray was already stuffed with cigarette butts. Zou Chongwen sat behind the desk, his face was a little depressed, and when he saw her figure, he rubbed his face, and asked forcefully: "Oh, Tang Tang, is there something wrong?" ”

Tang Tang handed over the manuscript written in his backpack, Zou Chongwen reached out and took it, but he didn't pick it up immediately as usual, but put it aside.

Seeing this, Tang Tang had a bit of confidence in his heart, and knew that what Lao Liu Tou and Lao Zhang said was not wrong.

She simply asked straight to the point: "Editor-in-chief Zou, am I causing you trouble?" ”

Hearing this, Zou Chongwen raised his eyebrows in surprise, but he didn't expect her to ask like this. However, there was silence in his mouth, and he explained everything with silent actions.

He paused slightly, and taught euphemistically: "Xiao Tang, you are the youngest in our magazine, and you are a college student who has just left school. I also came here at that age, so I understand your approach. But today's society is different, and some people's hearts are smaller than the nose of a needle, and they are prone to anger at the slightest thing. ”

Although Tang Tang was not directly blamed for these words, her heart was particularly uncomfortable. She asked herself that there was nothing wrong with the confrontation with Director Zheng in the first place.

What's more, Director Zheng listened to Lao Zhang's partiality and became a provocation first, and after her repeated instructions, she replied a little, what's wrong?

Even though Tang Tang was unhappy, he had no intention of letting Zou Chongwen take the blame for himself.

Looking at Editor-in-Chief Zou's haggard and puffy face, she asked frankly, "What does he want to do with me?" ”

Zou Chongwen stared at her with heavy eyes, his face did not improve, and it took a long time to spit out two words, "Seal the pen." ”

“！！！” Tang Tang was shocked and looked at him in disbelief, "Seal the pen? What right does he have to let me close my pen, writing is my freedom! ”

"Of course you can write," Zou Chongwen's voice replied in a heavy voice, "but in the future, all the magazines here will not publish your manuscript again, and this is the price of your willfulness." ”

Tang Tang couldn't help but laugh angrily at his words, "I'm willful? No, editor-in-chief, I know I don't have the qualifications to be capricious. But I don't believe that Director Zheng is really a person who covers the sky with one hand, even if he can control this territory and this city, I don't believe that he will have the power to control all the magazines and periodicals in the country! ”

Seeing that her face was provoked with anger, Zou Chongwen took a deep breath and knew that she was this soft and strong personality, so he never mentioned this matter to her, looking for a relationship in the middle.

Sure enough, she is simply a character who would rather be broken than broken!

Zou Chongwen frowned, stared at her with deep eyes and said, "But your archives are all in our unit, where do you want to go to join other magazines?" According to the regulations, everything you write is owned by the unit. ”

This sentence was said so domineeringly that in an instant, anger rushed to Tang Tang's heart.

She looked at Zou Chongwen indignantly, breathing extremely fast, only feeling aggrieved and depressed.

Doesn't Zou Chongwen feel a pity? He gently persuaded: "Xiao Tang, you go and pick up something, and come to the door to admit your mistake to Director Zheng in person." Director Zheng's anger is gone, and there is room for reconciliation in this matter. ”

After all, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

When Tang Tang heard this, he suddenly fell silent, and at this moment, it seemed that even her breathing could not be heard, and it only made people feel like death.

Zou Chongwen knew that most young people of her age couldn't pull off their faces, and they couldn't stand this kind of humiliation and suffering. But after entering the society, who can live a few days of good life without smoothing out their edges and corners.

Even he, a few years ago, forced himself to pull out the edge of his body, and only then did he find a small foothold in this society.

In fact, this is the only way for young people to grow up, and only after the bloody pain can the flowers of hope bloom.

Zou Chongwen patted her shoulder comfortingly, stood up and put his coat on his arm, and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you, for my sake, Director Zheng won't embarrass you too much." ”

Tang Tang raised his head suddenly, "I'm not going." ”

She said vigorously and loudly, but Zou Chongwen couldn't help but be anxious, "You kid, why don't you listen to what you say?" Keep your head down, or you won't die. If you really wait until all your manuscripts are blocked, then there will be no time for you to cry, and it will be too late to regret it at that time! ”

Zou Chongwen's tone was anxious, pacing anxiously in the small office, and he hurriedly persuaded and scolded: "Don't be confused!" This kind of battle of wills is unavoidable, do you really think that the magazine will not turn without you? Look behind you, the daughter of the old Zhang family, and other miscellaneous people are waiting to line up, just waiting for you to vacate this position, hurry up and drill in. ”

His tone was quick and fast, and he spoke in an instant like a machine gun. "I can't let you go down such a fork in the road, go, come with me now! Come with me to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy some gifts, and go to the door to apologize to Director Zheng! ”

After speaking, he couldn't help but walk out with Tang Tang in a casual manner, but he didn't even go to class.

Tang Tang's face was flushed with annoyance, but under the strength of Editor-in-Chief Zou, there was nothing he could do. She repeatedly refused and protested, unwilling to go to Director Zheng, but Zou Chongwen didn't give her a chance to escape at all, and finally ignored the defense of men and women, and directly dragged her by the arm and dragged her over.

When he broke into Director Zheng's office, he was startled.

Director Zheng was so shocked that his hands trembled, and most of the jar of tea was spilled on his clothes, which immediately made him feel sorry for this good tea. He raised his head in annoyance, and when he saw Tang Tang's figure, he couldn't help but show a slight sneer, and the scene was put on the shelf.

"Oh, look, who is this? That wind can blow you over, and my small temple can't accommodate you big bodhisattva! Director Zheng raised his voice and mocked.

Editor-in-Chief Zou changed his hard-line style on the road, went over with a gentle attitude to help him refill a cup of hot tea, and said with a smile: "Director Zheng, what are you talking about, how can we afford it?" This child is young and ignorant, didn't I bring her to apologize today? You see, if she makes a mistake with you in person, will this matter be over? ”

Zou Chongwen said it very well, and took the initiative to take out the cigarette case and help him light one.

Director Zheng's face was a little better, he glanced at Tang Tang, and said, "Look at your editor-in-chief, you have to learn a little more, and you have to do things on any occasion." ”

His sarcastic words suddenly made Tang Tang's face change, and he couldn't suppress his anger. Seeing that Director Zheng was looking at Erlang's legs, he drooped his eyelids with disdain, waiting for her to apologize in person.

Tang Tang couldn't help but take a deep breath, tried to calm his pounding heart, and said calmly: "Director Zheng, I have already finished telling you on the wrong day." I'm here today to ask for justice! ”

Her words were so powerful that they reverberated through the thin door, echoing through the hallway.

When Director Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, threw the cigarette butt hard, threw it to the ground, and said angrily to Zou Chongwen: "I can't stand your tea." Drop-off! ”

When the secretary lying outside the door heard this, he quickly pushed the door in, opened the door and waited for them to leave.

Seeing that the two of them were breaking up again, Zou Chongwen was not only anxious and angry, but grabbed Tang Tang and whispered: "Do you still want to write an article?" Apologize, I'll never have a chance to get out of this door. ”

How could he be willing to kneel down in front of Director Zheng's domineering old face, but what can he do if he is more powerful than the people? Could it be true that I watched Tang Tang being blocked? Even if he is the editor-in-chief of a magazine, he can't control Director Zheng's revenge!

Unexpectedly, his anxious words made Tang Tang more and more calm.

She calmly confronted Director Zheng and said, "You want me to apologize?" Dream on! ”
