Hongcheng Metropolis Daily publishes six days a week and closes on Sundays.

Every morning, each press department holds a morning meeting to report the topic of the day to the department director.

Luo Qianfan was afraid that Wu Youli would find fault, so he came quite early. First of all, I took the daily newspaper and evening newspaper from the communication room, swept the floor of the office, and boiled two pots of water. This is a must-have posture for newcomers.

As soon as he finished it, Luo Qianfan flipped through the newspaper, turned on the computer and browsed the major news websites, and at this time other people went to work one after another.

Two other newcomers in the department also came to report, a man and a woman, sitting in two seats by the door, the man's name is Wang Lin, thin and tall, with a pointed and tall nose, and a face and nose account for one-third. His seat was the broken computer that was replaced by Luo Qianfan.

The woman's name is Li Ya, chubby, the student's head is full of eyebrows and ears, and her round face is wrapped, which belongs to the kind of public face that stares at her for half an hour and turns her face without being impressed.

Students of the same level are always the easiest to become friends, Luo Qianfan stepped forward to greet him warmly, introduced himself, shook hands with Li Ya, and Li Ya smiled at him. Luo Qianfan asked him what he had divided, and Li Ya said that he had divided two police stations and two communities. Luo Qianfan was secretly envious.

When shaking hands with Wang Lin, Wang Lin was not sincere at all, and he touched it like a dragonfly and pulled it back, Luo Qianfan felt that he was rude.

At work at 9 o'clock, Hu Feifei pinched the order, and was the last to arrive, and threw Luo Qianfan a carton of milk with her open hand: "Sister can't finish drinking, solve it for my sister." ”

Luo Qianfan casually put his hand on the table and asked Hu Feifei: "Which conference room will the morning meeting be held?" ”

Hu Feifei said: "Don't go to the conference room, just here, our director will play the score, the best score when the meeting is held, and you will know later." ”

The reporter sitting next to Luo Qianfan laughed: "Alas, Director Wu always regards himself as the head of state, and he has to 'parade' every day, who wants to be disrespectful...... It's hard to get! ”

Hu Feifei hurriedly introduced: "Luo Qianfan, sitting next to you is Ge Deng, deputy director of the Social Information Department, who is a good person!" ”

Gordon is a veteran reporter transferred from the daily newspaper when Hongcheng Metropolis Daily was founded, and he is 30 years old. Unlike Luo Qianfan, who recruited reporters, Gordon has the group's public institution establishment.

When the newspaper transferred him from the daily newspaper, he promised that he would come on, and his salary would not be reduced, and he would be promoted to the rank of deputy director. Later, the level was raised, there was no real power, and the Metropolis Daily was founded, and his salary had dropped a lot compared with the daily newspaper, so he was very unhappy. However, his personality is on the soft side, and even if he is full of complaints, he does not dare to mention it in front of the leader, and he is confused in the newspaper office.

Gordon's name is "unexpected", he is very pessimistic, and his slight eight-character eyebrows are sad and embarrassed. Before speaking, from time to time, if there is a "sigh" first, like a sigh but not like a sigh. After a paragraph is finished, he will add a "not easy to get" ending for no reason, most of the time, "not easy to make" is not very coherent with what he said earlier, but it does not affect the expression of meaning.

People who just met him thought that this was a unique pronunciation method in their hometown, but after a long time, they found that it was not, purely personal!

Luo Qianfan hurriedly greeted: "Director Ge, I'm sorry, I don't know you yet." ”

Gordon smiled slightly: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's getting ripe slowly." "Very kind and kind.

……

Luo Qianfan quickly understood the meaning of "military parade" and posing scores.

Wu Youli pushed the door in, holding a cup of tea flat in his left hand and his right hand behind his back. He stood in front of the door and scanned the room. The other veteran reporters stood up reluctantly and saluted lazily, and Luo Qianfan also stood up.

Wu Youli smiled slightly, and slowly paced in the middle aisle with his chest folded, like a marshal patrolling.

"Comrades, the new month has begun, and now the urban newspaper industry is booming, and the public opinion environment is becoming more and more open......" After looking forward to ten minutes, he walked back and forth in the aisle more than ten times.

Then he took a sip of tea, changed the topic, and said: "Dahao Xingshì needs a collective of unity and struggle, and I am happy to introduce to you: Today, our team has injected fresh blood and joined three newcomers, I will introduce to you, this is Wang Lin, this is Li Ya, and the last row, Luo Qianfan."

"I want to focus on Xiao Luo, in this recruitment examination, Xiao Luo first in the written test, first in the interview, first in the overall score, and Xiao Luo has lofty ambitions, in the interview said that there are still many things that can be improved in our Metropolis Daily, the news operation is not emancipated enough, the method is relatively old, many reporters' writing level is uneven, the five editors-in-chief appreciate him, everyone welcomes him to join our family."

When these words came out, Luo Qianfan sweated down, "How the did I say this?" Luo Qianfan suddenly understood: Wu Youli praised on the surface, but in fact, he made enemies for himself.

Sure enough, more than a dozen people all set their eyes on Luo Qianfan, with different expressions and complicated eyes, and even Ge Deng looked at Luo Qianfan: "Alas, the pony is too narrow at first glance, and it will be ...... It's hard to get. ”

Luo Qianfan whispered: "Director Ge, you misunderstood, I didn't say that at all." ”

Gordon smiled, apparently in disbelief. Luo Qianfan didn't bother to explain.

The lecture is finally over, and it is everyone's turn to report the topic, most of the old reporters have nothing to report, and a few topics are nothing more than parents' shortcomings.

Luo Qianfan had already prepared a topic, it was something that happened to Lao Kai, Lao Kai spent more than 100,000 yuan to buy a red gold arowana, a fish is more expensive than an ordinary car, it is definitely a good social news.

"Director Wu, I have a topic that someone bought for more than 100,000 yuan......

Without waiting for him to finish, Director Wu stopped with a smile: "Xiao Luo, you just came, you are not in a hurry to report on the topic selection, you have to read more newspapers and study more in the past few days, especially our own Hongcheng Metropolis Daily, master the characteristics of manuscript selection, writing characteristics, and have a target."

"In this way, don't do anything lately, go to the reference room, read all the newspapers of Hongcheng Metropolis Daily since its establishment three years ago, pick out two good manuscripts and two good headlines from each issue of the newspaper, and be able to tell the doorway, where is good and where is bad, I will give you ten days, and after ten days, form a paper of no less than 3,000 words and hand it to me."

Luo Qianfan's heart was cold, and his heart was broken, if he didn't write a manuscript for ten days, how could he complete the task and pass the internship assessment? Hu Feifei is right, this guy must be trying to force me away.

He was not good at contradicting in his mouth, but he was unwilling in his heart: "I wrote down the director, but I still have to be assessed during the probationary period, and I am afraid that I will ......"

"What are you afraid of, don't worry, this is called laying the foundation, ramming the foundation, the ancestor once said: sharpening the knife is not wrong to chop wood, the door is through, just like the martial arts master to open up the second pulse of the governor, the future work will be handy, I am good to you. Besides, the departmental assessment is up to me, and I do what I say, but I'm afraid I won't pass the assessment? ”

"That'...... All right. Luo Qianfan had no choice but to do as he said.

After the meeting ended, the reporters were busy, interviewing and interviewing, making phone calls, and staring at the hotline platform without a topic, but Wang Lin was slapping his computer with a constant blue screen, and it didn't take long to restart it three times, so anxious that his big nose was sweating.

Luo Qianfan pretended to be confused: "Your computer also has a blue screen?" My one too, it's hard for newcomers. After that, he took a pen and paper and went to the reference room on the top floor.

The data room group is universal, which not only stores the bound editions of newspapers of Hongcheng Daily for 40 years and Hongcheng Metropolis Daily for 3 years, but also has the function of a reading room, placing more than 200 newspapers and magazines from all over the country.

The data room has always been deserted, only the administrator's aunt is alone, in her fifties, I don't know what difficulties I encountered, and I am sighing and wiping my tears.

"Teacher?"

Luo Qianfan shouted, and the aunt hurriedly wiped her tears and raised her head.

"Hello teacher, I am a new reporter from Metropolis Daily, my surname is Luo. I want to check out all the old newspapers of Hongcheng Metropolis Daily. ”

The aunt was obviously surprised, and pointed to a row of bookshelves in the corner: "It's all there, you can go and get it yourself." If you want to borrow the library, you will need to make a copy of your ID. ”

"No, I'll just watch it here. Teacher, what's wrong with you? ”

"It's okay, you go read the newspaper."

When Luo Qianfan met for the first time, it was difficult to ask, so he went to read the newspaper.

The history of Hongcheng Metropolis Daily is less than three years, and one book is bound in January, with a total of more than 30 copies. First took out ten books and put them on the reading table, Luo Qianfan sat down and read and memorized. After a while, the aunt brought a glass of water and put it next to Luo Qianfan.

Luo Qianfan hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, teacher, are you okay, do you need my help?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay. What is your name? ”

"Luo Qianfan."

"How long have you been in the newspaper?"

"I reported yesterday and officially went to work on the first day today."

"In which department?"

"Department of Social Information."

"Wu Youli's department?"

"Do you know Director Wu?"

"Of course, he asked you to study the newspaper? He always comes to this set. You go on, I won't bother you, what do you need to call me. The aunt went back to the counter, and after a while answered the phone, and when she answered the phone, she wiped her tears as she spoke.

At half past eleven, Hu Feifei was at the door enough to see Luo Qianfan, and came in in a flash: "The data room is so big? I've never been here once. Xiao Luo Luo, the squid has left early, let's eat. ”

"Wait a few minutes, I'm almost done with the first quarter of the paper."

"Are you really taking squid's as a holy decree? Can't tell he's conditioning you? ”

"In fact, there are many benefits to turning over the old newspapers in the past, not only to understand the newspaper, but also to understand Hongcheng. Literature is a family, journalism is a craftsman, news writing has rules to follow, and there is no harm in reading more newspapers. ”

"It's okay, and it's not a journalistic theory, just fool him. Don't look at what the squid said is very good, you can't write enough 40 in two months to become positive. Hu Feifei said, snatched the newspaper by himself, and took it to the bookshelf to stack it.

The administrator's aunt was still secretly crying, Luo Qianfan said: "Feifei, that aunt must have encountered something difficult, you go and ask, I asked her and she didn't say." ”

Hu Feifei looked at the aunt and suddenly patted her head: "Alas, I know, her surname is Zhou, her grandson is 5 years old, some time ago I found out what hepatoblastoma is, this disease occurs in adults is liver cancer, it is very strict, it is said that the operation fee is more than 200,000 yuan, some time ago the newspaper also organized donations, it is said that the operation fee is still more than 100,000 yuan and has not been enough, it is very pitiful." ”

Luo Qianfan's heart sank.

Luo Qianfan said goodbye to the administrator's aunt: "Teacher, I'm sorry for your trouble, I'll come back in the afternoon." ”

The Administrator smiled at him.

In the afternoon, Luo Qianfan continued to soak in the data room, and went to the mall to buy an electric car toy before going there, and asked the caretaker aunt to give it to her grandson, and the aunt was very grateful.

……

Luo Qianfan soaked in the library for three days, and finally finished reading the newspapers of Hongcheng Metropolis Daily for nearly three years, and took notes in a thick book. After reading the last metropolis newspaper, I put it back in place, and then looked at the Hongcheng Daily on the shelf next to it. It was still early before dark, so Luo Qianfan took out two copies of the Hongcheng Daily five or six years ago and read them.

In the past three days, Aunt Zhou has become familiar with Luo Qianfan a lot, cut a piece of watermelon and gave it to Luo Qianfan, hesitated and said something:

"Kid, you're working on the daily newspaper again? I guess you must be looking for a report written by Wu Youli, it's nothing to look at, it's not the aunt who said him behind his back, he only has long legs and no brains as a reporter, and it's useless to read more. If you have time, you should read more of your editor-in-chief's reports, that is the real level.

"Also, I see that you are a good child, my aunt reminds you that the newspaper environment is complex, and if you want to gain a foothold, you must not be led by the nose, especially Wu Youli, this person is ...... You just need to pay more attention to his department......"

Luo Qianfan suddenly felt that the old aunt was very kind, and she was familiar with the media, like a sweeping monk in Shaolin Temple, hidden deeply.

Indeed, Aunt Zhou is right, you must be careful with Wu Youli, and you can't be led by his nose.
