Three years have passed in a blink of an eye, Zhongshan has become a well-deserved business backbone of the finance and trade department of Qingshan Daily and even the whole newspaper, and was selected as one of the three best newcomers of the newspaper in the second year, and was rated as one of the ten best employees in the third year. The housing promised by Mr. Meng at that time was also fulfilled at the end of the second year, which was a five-floor 42-square-meter one-bedroom and one-hall unit in Nanshan Community. After coming to the newspaper office for more than a year, I was assigned a house, which was something that had never happened to Aoyama Daily in the past.

In the second year after Zhong Shan was transferred to the newspaper, Mr. Meng implemented a drastic reform in the editorial department, changing the old management model of doing more and doing less in the past, doing good and bad, and introducing the assessment mechanism of A, B, C, and D manuscripts, requiring reporters to complete three drafts per month. With this change, those reporters who usually make a living by writing small tofu blocks have a hard time, and Xue Manni, a reporter from the Ministry of Finance and Trade who runs the Commercial Bureau, is one of them.

Xue Manni's father was the driver of the old editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and he came to work at the newspaper at the age of 17, first as a word picker in the sorting workshop of the printing house, and then studied a one-year journalism training course for social schools, and got a college diploma. The fifth king Xueli once said to Zhong Shan unconvinced: "I am convinced when you go to the Ministry of Finance and Trade, where is the ability, why does Xue Manni rely on Lao Tzu's relationship?" Now I heard that I don't know anything about your director. ”

Xue Manni is only one year older than Zhong Shan, but her working experience is 8 years longer than him, as if she is already an old man in the newspaper. When Zhong Shan first came to the newspaper, Xue Manni did pull the director Liu Authority in every interview, and Zhong Shan only met and nodded. The following year, she began to show enthusiasm for Zhong Shan, sometimes putting a washed peach on his desk, and sometimes transferring a tie and a shirt to Zhong Shan from the interview unit. At this time, Zhong Shan also began to pay attention to this Xue Manni, who was not very tall, about less than one meter six, and she was thin and thin, her face was yellow, and she often had to wear foundation and blush to improve her complexion. What caught Zhong Shan's attention the most was her pair of Danfeng eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Xue Manni usually didn't talk much, but these eyes seemed to be able to speak.

Zhong Shan probably knows some about the situation in Xue Manni's family, her husband is a project captain of the Third Metallurgical Construction Company, who has been working in the field for many years, and the children are taken care of by their parents, so her family is not burdened, so she has the conditions to dress up her face and body very finely at work every day.

Zhong Shan later understood that Xue Manni was close to him, just to ask him to help complete the task of the first draft. Director Liu took her out, only to eat, drink, and get some souvenirs, and could not provide her with the slightest help in writing press releases.

On this day, Xue Manize wrote an article about the commercial bureau's open selection of 100 store managers in the whole system, and a grassroots buyer participated in the application with years of experience accumulated in the shopping mall, and talked eloquently at the job fair, and finally won the praise of the judges and was selected as the 100 manager. She wrote a manuscript and showed it to Zhong Shan, it was a message of less than 800 words, saying that there was still a draft left this month, so she pointed to it and served it. Zhong Shan flipped through the four-page manuscript, the logic of the whole article was chaotic and he didn't know what to do, he felt strange, how could Xue Manni, who was eccentric and talked with a beginning and an end on weekdays, write a press release like an idiot, didn't understand literature and science, didn't understand grammar, made many mistakes, wanted to change it, but couldn't start. So, let her repeat what happened, spread the manuscript paper in front of her, and after more than half an hour, a message with the eyebrow label "The Municipal Bureau of Commerce broke the old rules to openly select and hire 100 store managers in the whole system", and the main label was "The buyer stands out by two words: ability". Zhong Shan tore the written manuscript off the notebook and handed it to Xue Manni, who quickly took it and said "thank you" while spreading out her manuscript paper and copying it word by word.

The next morning, this news was on the front page of the "Qingshan Daily", and Lao Mei also distributed a short commentary entitled "Breaking the Old Rules and Removing the Iron Chair". In the afternoon, the results of the first draft selection were announced, and Xue Manni's news was rated as a first draft without any suspense. When everyone gathered in front of the newspaper column to watch, Editor Shi quietly said to Zhong Shan: "Xue Manni suddenly opened up somehow, whoever saw her name in the editor-in-chief office had a headache before, and I was afraid to avoid it, I made up a small manuscript for her, and I had to go out to smoke several times to complete it, it was really a donkey's lips that couldn't match the horse's mouth." I barely changed a word about this news. ”

Seeing Zhong Shan smiling and not answering, he suddenly woke up: "It's you kid who catches the knife and writes it, right?" I said how the style is so familiar! ”
