Xu Yi, the editor-in-chief of Hong Kong's Jinsheng Newspaper, was looking at the fax sent back by Xue Bing in the office at this time, and he looked at it for a long time, but he didn't understand what Xue Bing wrote. If you want to say that it is a manuscript, there is no content at all, only an outline. If it's not a manuscript, what is she doing when she sends it to the editorial office? What baffled him the most was the sentence at the end of the manuscript, which said "password" and a string of random numbers. He really couldn't understand what this "password" meant, could it be Xue Bing's safe password? Or a bank password? He now has a lot of reason to believe that Xue Bing should have sent this fax to the wrong number! He didn't want to correct Xue Bing, he felt that as a journalist, he should be responsible for his own behavior, and it was time for her to suffer a little. Casually, this manuscript was placed by him without knowing where it was placed, and soon, he left this matter behind.

Early the next morning, Xu Yi received a call from Xue Bing not long after he arrived at the office.

"Editor-in-chief? Did you receive what I passed yesterday? Today's manuscript and content for my express mail should arrive right away! Since Xue Bing returned from Sanganluo, he immediately began to revise and sort out the previous press release. In order to grab the space, she faxed the outline back to the editorial office faster after the express mail delivered the tray where the manuscript was stored. After all, she was not experienced enough, and after faxing the outline, she even forgot to make a phone call to explain. No way, these days, Xue Bing has been working almost continuously, and he is so tired, after sending the fax. As soon as I returned to the guest room, I collapsed on the bed and fell asleep. Knowing that she woke up the next day, she remembered this question, and hurriedly called the editor-in-chief to ask.

Xu Yi felt strange. Listening to Xue Bing's tone, it seemed that what was faxed yesterday was really part of the manuscript. But since it's a manuscript, why don't you send it back in one go, and what express mail should you use? Even if it's a manuscript that is so messy, after you finish wearing it, you should make a phone call and let someone help you sort it out. Alas! What a newcomer! Xu Yi muttered in his heart.

"Xue Bing! I received what you sent back yesterday, but do you know it? As a journalist, timeliness is the most important thing. Why is it called news. It has to be as fast as possible. The easiest way to publish the news events that have occurred. What is the timeliness of something like yours? Besides, don't you know. The price for you to send a fax is much cheaper than if you send a Speedpost, the key is that it is faster and more convenient! Something like this, complete, is news! Although our editorial department will consider using your press release, the working procedure should be like this! Other than that. After you've sent the fax. You should call to confirm and make some clarifications. Such. If you have any questions, our editorial department can let the editors be responsible for supplementing and revising them for you. After all, you're a newcomer and you still lack experience in word processing, so it's understandable to ask the editor to help you deal with it! Xu Yi was very dissatisfied with Xue Bing's call today, but he couldn't say too much, after all, she was a girl, and she hadn't joined the newspaper industry for a long time, especially now that she was on vacation, it was commendable to be able to pass back the press release! It is still necessary to give a little encouragement.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Editor-in-chief, I'm so tired these days that I forgot to call after the fax to explain! However, I sent it back by express mail so that you can take a look at it, and it will be easier to explain the problem! Xue Bing explained.

"Hey! I said Xue Bing, what would be incomprehensible? Tell me now, I'll see if it's newsworthy, and I'll sort it out for you. As I said, news has to be time-sensitive! Hurry up and say it! Xu Yi was inexplicable, he really couldn't figure it out, and there was something he couldn't even say on the phone.

"Hmmm! Editor-in-chief, is it like this。。。。。。 Speaking of work, Xue Bing became excited, and she told all the things she had seen and heard in the past few days and some things about the disk player.

During this period, Xu Yi didn't know how many times he wanted to shout to stop, but seeing that Xue Bing was quite excited, it was a bit too much to interrupt directly. However, the pen that he had been writing down points on paper had long since stopped. He could hear it, Xue Bing must be very excited, but he really couldn't understand what Xue Bing was saying. It wasn't until Xue Bing finished speaking that Xu Yi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and asked, "Xue Bing!" Did you wake up? What kind of mess are you talking about? Mannings? Where exactly is Mannings? If Wanning really has the potential to surpass Shenzhen, how can we not know? Moreover, what do you say that a Walkman is dozens of times smaller than the Walkman, and what can store pieces and play music? Dozens of times smaller, where to put the tape? Don't tell me, the tape is also dozens of times smaller! Let me tell you, Xue Bing, everything pays attention to reasonableness, and you can't talk nonsense in order to attract the reader's attention. We are a news unit, and we are not engaged in science fiction creation. What you say may be liked by children, but do you know how much impact it will have on our newspaper industry if we sign it out for you like this? It's not easy for our newspaper industry to create a brand for so many decades, and it's not for you to play like this! Xue Bing, let me tell you directly, you can do it if you want to, and forget it if you don't want to do it. Don't mess around, we don't have time for you! After speaking, without waiting for Xue Bing to react, the editor-in-chief hung up the phone with a "snap". He is really busy, and it is rare to be able to listen to Xue Bing's science fiction stories. In his opinion, it is understandable that a newcomer wants to stand out. However, news is not based on imagination and must be based on facts. Otherwise, it's time for Verne to write the news.

On the other end of the phone, Xue Bing put down the receiver aggrievedly, she wanted to explain something, but the editor-in-chief didn't give her this opportunity. She wanted to call her father several times and put pressure on the editor-in-chief through her father's connections, after all, this manuscript was her hard work during this time. But thinking about her agreement with her father, she felt that she should wait until the afternoon, after the editorial department received the express mail, and then call the editor-in-chief, maybe at that time. Her words should be easy for the editor-in-chief to listen to.

After putting down the phone, Xu Yi was very uncomfortable for a while, how could he come back from studying in the UK for many years. How can it be at this level, it is not as good as the place where the University of Hong Kong graduated. However, Xu Yi quickly forgot about this matter after his busy work, and it was not until a small parcel by express mail was delivered to him that he remembered Xue Bing's call in the morning. Because, the package was sent by Xue Bing. Although he felt uncomfortable, he still opened the package, and no matter what, he had to see what it was.

After the package was opened, Xu Yi found it. What Xue Bing sent over was an electrical product that didn't even have a package. A wire is apparently attached to the computer's print port. Another matchbox-sized thing he didn't understand. Fortunately, there is also a manual. He quickly picked it up and read it carefully. Although the manual is simplified, it looks more difficult, but fortunately, Xu Yi's language level is not bad. Over the years, I have been exposed to more things in simplified Chinese, and it is not too difficult to read. After reading the manual, Xu Yi's scalp was numb, it seems that what Xue Bing said on the phone in the morning is really not a science fiction story. But. It is still necessary to test it. Follow the instructions. Xu Yi hurriedly connected Xue Bing's so-called disk to the computer's print port, and installed the driver software on the computer with a CD-ROM. Soon. The computer automatically retrieved a piece of Xindi hardware, and Xu Yi was shocked. It seems that what Xue Bing said is really true, and he now understands why Xue Bing chose express mail. It's just that he didn't have time to think about it so much, so he hurriedly clicked on the new hardware according to the instructions and tried to open the pieces inside. The hardware was quickly turned on, but when he opened the piece, the pop-up prompt asked for the password, and he didn't know how to find it. He suddenly remembered that Xue Bing's phone call in the morning had said that the password was on yesterday's fax. Xu Yi was in a hurry now, and there were a lot of manuscripts on the table that he didn't know where to start. After searching for a long time, Xu Yi didn't find the fax sent by Xue Bing: "Director! Did anyone move the things on my desk? ”

The director of the editorial department is inexplicable, who dares to move the things on the editor-in-chief's desk, who knows whether it is useful or not, but he can't say that: "Editor-in-chief, no one should move the things on your desk!" What's missing? Why don't I help you find it? ”

"Look, see! If I could find it, I wouldn't ask you! Hurry up, hurry up and have someone buy me a battery back! Xu Yi suddenly thought that this manual said that it had the function of a player.

"Okay! Chief editor! But what size battery are you going to buy? The director asked.

Xu Yi then remembered that he hadn't looked at what kind of battery this gadget should be installed, so he quickly picked up the plate and opened the back cover: "No. 7 battery, buy a few more!" ”

Xue Bing was sorting out the manuscript in the room and preparing to send it back to the editorial office when the phone in the room rang.

"Xue Bing? What is the password for the piece of the disk you sent back? Xu Yi really didn't know what to say to Xue Bing, after all, he had gone too far before, and he actually took Xue Bing's words as science fiction.

"Password? Editor-in-chief, the fax I sent back is on it! Xue Bing replied.

"Xue Bing! This will, I can't help but talk about you, you said that you sent back such an important thing, and it is necessary to elaborate on it! You look at this, you didn't actually explain and I don't know what it is, I don't pay attention, the cleaners treat it as useless waste paper, and I don't know where to throw it. For this, I also scolded him severely! Xu Yi said with a big lie, and when he said this, he muttered in his heart, he was really a little sorry for this cleaner. After so many years, he still knows the work ability of this cleaner, and he will not make such a low-level mistake, thinking that he threw Xue Bing's things in the trash can because they were useless. It's just that he can't say this to Xue Bing, and he can only carry the black cauldron.

"Oh! You guys got the order so soon? Of course, Xue Bing knew that the editor-in-chief's tone had already told her, and it seemed that tomorrow's headline would be there: "It's okay, I'll tell you the password again, all the manuscripts are stored on the disk, and it doesn't matter if there is that fax or not." Actually, I was worried that the manuscript would be stolen by others, so I set the password, and besides, I thought you could leave me a place for the headline! ”

"Headlines? No problem! Xue Bing, don't worry! Don't say tomorrow's headlines, I'll give you the entire front page tomorrow! Of course, Xu Yi knows the value of this news, and such a magical thing can appear in Wanning, which shows that Wanning is indeed a very newsworthy place. Thinking of this, he felt that it was necessary and necessary to praise Xue Bing: "Xue Bing! During this period of time, you have worked so hard, and our newspaper industry has seen it! You can rest assured that during this period of time, you will be dealt with according to the business trip, and all expenses will be reimbursed! Xu Yi felt that it was necessary for Xue Bing to have such achievements and give him certain treatment.

Xue Bing was also very happy when she heard this, after all, she spent a lot of private money in Wanning during this time, not to mention anything else, the Easter egg alone cost her a lot of money: "Great! Chief editor! Is everything you say true? ”

"Of course! The necessary expenses are still affordable in our editorial department, and it is inevitable that there will be some accidents when we go out. When the time comes, get the documents back, and I'll sign for your reimbursement! "It's not easy to have such high-value news, and Xu Yi certainly knows what Xue Bing brought back. It is also reasonable to bear some of the costs compared to this. Besides, now is the era of paid journalism, as a news reporter, it is nothing more than spending a little travel expenses, and other business expenses can't cost a few dollars, Xu Yi thought to himself.

"Great! Thank you, Editor-in-Chief! That's right! A few days ago, in order to make it easier for me to carry out my work, I approached the mayor of Wanning, but I had no choice but to pretend to be a friend of his, and for this, I specially bought a $20,000 Easter egg and a Hongdu high-horsepower motorcycle. If you add in the cost of accommodation and airfare, you will probably 。。。。。。 Xue Bing said as he counted with his fingers.

"What!? An Easter egg costs $20,000?? Why don't you go and grab it! Xu Yi almost jumped up after hearing this, completely forgetting the promise he had just made.

"It's really 20,000 US dollars, the bill is still with me, it's not expensive, that easter egg is very beautiful!" Xue Bing always thought that she should be worth the money when she bought that easter egg.

"Miss Xue!" Xu Yi will change his name, he really can't stand it. He has now made up his mind, and when he speaks to Xue Bing, he must be cautious: "Let me tell you, a normal gold-inlaid Easter egg, if it is not set with any very precious gemstones, its price is generally around one or two thousand dollars. $20,000, I don't know what you bought? "Xu Yi really has a big head, and with such an expensive price, he can't reimburse Xue Bing.

"Huh? That Soviets lied to me! Otherwise, I'll take care of it myself! Until now, Xue Bing still doesn't think that the price of that easter egg is too high. After all, her family background determines her level of consumption. In her opinion, 2,000 and 20,000 are just a zero missing.
