Anton arranged the dinner place at a Chongqing hot pot restaurant not far from the newspaper office.

Anton, Wang Lin, Li Ya, and Wei Chen arrived first, Luo Qianfan went a little late, and before he entered the door, he heard Wang Lin scolding Lu Ming: "...... Wei Chen, you have nothing to do, no matter what, under Tong Kuang, you have a manuscript to write, and you can send it if you write it. What about me? The leader of the beggar gang is a real stepmother, and I only sent two manuscripts in the first month he took office, and one month's salary is not enough to pay the rent.

"You have all seen how Wu Youli treated Luo Qianfan before, Lu Ming treated me like Wu Youli did to Lu Ming at the beginning, scolding back and forth, Wei Chen, aren't you going to resign? Let's resign together, the tree is dead, the person is alive, here the master is a grandson, and there is a grandson to call the master. ”

"Okay, okay, don't move and have to leave", it was Li Ya's voice, she was persuading Wang Lin, "You think about Luo Qianfan, how difficult it was at the beginning, didn't he get through it, look at how good he is now, smooth sailing, you can also bear with it, there is no flame mountain that you can't pass." ”

Wang Lin was dismissive: "Can I be the same as Luo Qianfan?" He and Hu Feifei are close, Lu Ming likes Hu Feifei, Luo Qianfan can rely on Hu Feifei's nepotism to get on the throne, who can I rely on? Rely on you Li Yacheng, Lu Ming doesn't look down on you either......"

Luo Qianfan listened really well outside, and said in his heart that Wang Lin's grandson owes his mother, and he sympathized with him just now, but now he wants to slap him with a big mouth.

He coughed and pushed the door in. Wang Lin hurriedly shut up, and Anton got up and invited Luo Qianfan to take a seat: "Why did you come?" Sit down and get a drink! As he spoke, he poured a glass of white wine from a small shot glass and handed it over.

Luo Qianfan took it and laughed: "I'm sorry, something has been delayed, and I should be punished." ”

Luo Qianfan drank the wine, and Wei Chen joked with Luo Qianfan: "You came alone, Hu Feifei didn't follow you?" ”

Luo Qianfan said: "What is she doing at the same dinner?" ”

Wei Chen said: "If you have a family member, you can also bring it, we will not treat her as an outsider." ”

Everyone laughed when they understood it, and Luo Qianfan distinguished: "The two of us are simply colleagues. I didn't even enter the door when I heard you talking very lively, what are you talking about? ”

Anton changed the subject and said, "I'm talking about you!" The newspaper wants to select the best newcomer, and everyone thinks that you are the best in our same period, and you must be the best newcomer. ”

Luo Qianfan heard about the selection of the best newcomer, and there was a place for the reporter department, the editorial department, the advertising and distribution department, and the administration. Luo Qianfan has worked in both the distribution department and the press department, and his grades are good, and he is very hopeful of occupying a place, depending on whether the newspaper classifies him in the press department or the distribution department.

If it is in the distribution department, the best newcomer is Luo Qianfan, and if it is in the press department, it is Anton who has a better chance of winning than him. Anton raised this topic and also wanted to explore Luo Qianfan's tone.

Luo Qianfan understood as soon as he heard it, and said modestly: "How can it be my turn to be the best newcomer?" In the eyes of the leader, I am a thorn, and if I can gain a firm foothold in the newspaper, even if I burn high incense. ”

Anton said: "Don't be modest, you are the first in the entrance exam, written test, interview, and total score, and when you arrive at the distribution department, the distribution results are obvious to all, and when you return to the press department, you will be like a fish in water in just one month, and I want to say that the best newcomer must be yours, and don't forget to treat you when you send a bonus." ”

"That is, you must have a treat", Li Ya is also optimistic about Luo Qianfan.

Wei Chen's opinion was very pertinent, and said: "Luo Qianfan is both a reporter and a distributor, so it is best to classify him in the distribution department, after all, he has been in circulation for a long time and his work is relatively good." If it is placed in the press department, you and Anton Deer may die. ”

Wang Lin and Luo Qianfan have always been at odds, and will never let go of the opportunity to suppress him, saying: "Luo Qianfan, it's not that I said discouragement, you'd better find a relationship and go to the distribution department to participate in the evaluation, the best newcomer in the press department must be Anton, you can't 'win the bid'!" ”

Anton smiled proudly, but he was hiding it: "What is Wang Lin talking nonsense, you are drunk before you drink the wine?" ”

Wang Lin insisted on his opinion: "This is not casual drunken talk, I have my reasoning, think about it, what is the selection criteria for the best newcomer?" In addition to the appearance of the journalist himself, there is another particularly important factor - the head of the department!

"Ministry of Finance and Economics, Ministry of Social Affairs, which department director has a big face in front of the leader?! Apparently the Ministry of Finance and Economics! Who is the head of the department of the Ministry of Finance and Economics? Lee Jae-ning! Director Li doesn't need me to introduce him, first of all, he has a good temper, and he is very polite to the subordinates of the Ministry of Finance and Economics, and to us outsiders. Whoever buys electricity from the newspaper will find a relationship to discount, and there is a good reputation from top to bottom, where can I find such a director? Is Lu Ming comparable? ”

Wei Chen thought about it: "If you want to talk about the director of the department, Director Li really doesn't have to say it, he is very polite to his subordinates, to his colleagues, even to the guards who guard the door, and the cleaning staff." ”

"Move! Character aside, Director Li has also made a great contribution to the newspaper, how much money did he make for the newspaper? Did Lu Ming make a penny for the newspaper? If you wear it, you will be in violation of the rules and will be embarrassed by the newspaper. And his stinky temper! Li Ya, Luo Qianfan, which of you hasn't been scolded by him? Not to mention, I scolded me for being more diligent than eating. Our junior generation scolded and scolded, Director Tang is more than fifty years old, and he was scolded by Lu Ming to sit on the ground and cry, where can I reason?

"Last time in the pantry, I heard him pointing his nose and scolding Director Li Zaining, is there anyone better than Director Li in the whole newspaper, he even dared to scold Director Li, if I were Director Li, I splashed him with boiling water at that time. Tell me with your conscience, compared with Lu Ming and Director Li, who has a big face in front of the leader?

"That's why I'll just say, the best newcomer, on the surface, is a personal honor, but in fact it is also a departmental honor. The selection of the best newcomer is not only a recognition of the individual, but also a recognition of the department and the director of the department, Wei Chen, Li Ya, if you are Mr. Shang, who do you plan to give the honor to? ”

After Wang Lin's analysis, Wei Chen and Li Ya's balance was quietly tilted, yes, in terms of individual achievements alone, Luo Qianfan Anton has its own merits, but considering the director of the department, Lu Ming is 108,000 miles different from Li Zaining.

In fact, in Luo Qianfan's heart, Lu Ming is by no means as unbearable as Wang Lin said, and in the handling of many details, Luo Qianfan even likes him a little bit, such as the white slip that he paid out of his own pocket to reimburse 500 yuan; For example, he broke the old qualifications of reporters and distributed the rules to those who were willing to do things; Even if he quarreled with Tang Yi, it was for the sake of the department's rights and interests. But I have to admit that compared with Li Zaining, Lu Ming really has no advantage at all. Thinking about it like this, Luo Qianfan was inevitably faintly disappointed in his heart.

Anton is a sleek person, he knows how to take care of other people's face while secretly rejoicing in his heart, he picked up his wine glass and said: "The evaluation is as complicated as you said, they are all brothers and sisters at the same time, I would like the best newcomer to be Luo Qianfan." In the newspaper office that entered together, Luo Qianfan's experience was more bumpy than ours. In short, let's not talk about the past, the evaluation is the leader's business, we just have to wait for the notice. Come, drink and drink. ”

"Drink." Li Ya also echoed and picked up the wine glass. After a drink, Anton took the initiative to pour it for everyone, Wei Chen sighed, and clinked glasses with Wang Lin: "Wang Lin, I salute you." You see, people are competing for the best newcomer, and no matter how we get along, we can't stay anymore. ”
