Zhong Shan sat down in his place and put his office supplies into the drawer one by one.

Zhang Lei's newspaper was also read. Turning the chair, he asked Zhong Shan, "How old are you this year?" What school did you graduate from? ”

Zhong Shan said: "I am 24 years old and graduated from Jiangcheng University. ”

Zhang Lei opened his two small eyes wide, and said enviously: "Hehe, a famous university!" We are the same age, I graduated from the Teachers College, and it has been three years since I came to Taili. There are a total of six people in our house, Lao Yan is the team leader, the oldest, 40 years old, correspondence college diploma. The other three are all about 30 years old, recruited from all aspects of society, none of them are from professional classes, you are the hope star in our group! ”

Zhong Shan said "where, where", but there was a trace of pride in his heart.

At 11 o'clock, there was still 10 minutes, and the doorman Lao Jin called and said that the interview unit downstairs had come to pick up Zhang Lei.

When Zhang Lei and Zhong Shan went downstairs, a girl in a dark blue factory uniform was waiting in the hall. Seeing the two of them coming down, he hurriedly stepped forward, shouted "Reporter Zhang", and turned to look at Zhong Shan: "This is Reporter Zhong, right?" Zhong Shan nodded, still a little uncomfortable with the title of "Reporter Zhong".

The three of them got into the black Volga car parked at the door, the air conditioning was turned on in the car, and the people suddenly became refreshed when they sat in the car.

The girl sat in the co-pilot's seat, turned her head to look at Zhong Shan, and introduced herself: "My name is Xu Meiling, and I am the propaganda officer of the Metallurgical Construction Group. In the future, I will have to ask Reporter Zhong for more help. ”

Xu Meiling, who wears overalls, gives people a feeling of sassy and heroic, with a white and tender bun face, two big watery eyes, thick black and short eyebrows, a bit like Du Fangfei, a college classmate, the most important thing is that a mouthful of teeth is particularly white and neat, and the whole person is more refreshing and clean.

The car drove to the Metallurgical Construction Canteen next to the Metallurgical Construction Club and stopped, and Xu Meiling led Zhongshan and Zhang Lei to the second floor. The exterior of the large cafeteria looks ordinary, but the second floor is unique. The elegant room for 20 people is beautifully decorated, with pleasant air-conditioning, and a few side dishes are already placed on the table covered with red tablecloths and glass automatic turntables. There were a dozen or so people sitting around the round table. Seeing Zhong Shan and them coming in, the middle-aged* sitting in the center with rosacea got up, looked at Zhang Lei and asked, "This is the new little clock, right?" Zhang Lei hurriedly said "yes", and rosacea stretched out a pair of big hands to Zhong Shan from afar: "I am Lao Yan, welcome little brother to join our group." He also introduced the middle-aged woman sitting next to her, who was also wearing a dark blue factory uniform: "This is the propaganda minister of the Metallurgical Construction Group, Sister Pang." Minister Pang also hurriedly got up and asked Zhong Shan and Zhang Lei to sit down in the empty seats. and especially told Xu Meiling to sit next to Zhongshan and take care of the newcomers.

The dishes come up one by one, there are home-cooked dishes such as stewed mushrooms with chicken, braised carp, sweet and sour pork ribs, Sixi meatballs, sauerkraut blood sausage, and soft-braised eggplant, as well as grilled abalone, braised sea cucumber, braised prawns, raw red shellfish, raw lobster and other dishes that Zhongshan rarely eats or even never eats.

Everyone pushes the cup and changes the lamp, and it is a reason to give the newcomer Zhong Shan the wind. Minister Pang gave a welcome speech, first saluted the big reporters of the TV station, and especially welcomed the new reporters of Xiao Zhong. Next, Lao Yan led a group of people from the TV station to pay tribute to Minister Pang and Xiao Xu and other members of the Metallurgical Construction Propaganda Department, thanked the Metallurgical Construction Propaganda Department for its hospitality, and solemnly launched the handsome guy Xiao Zhong reporter. Everyone encouraged Zhong Shan, as a newcomer, to give everyone a glass and express his determination.

After the commotion, Minister Pang said to Lao Yan that there was a news project undertaken by the second company that had been praised by the relevant state departments and needed to be publicized, and he hoped to make a special feature, and they had prepared a lot of information films, which could be provided to Yan reporters, and the written materials could also be published by them. Lao Yan said that if it can be matched with an advertisement, there should be no problem in doing a special topic. Minister Pang said that he asked Mr. Nie for instructions about the advertisement, and he would tell Lao Yan as soon as possible.

The next thing everyone is talking about idle films, Lao Yan is a master of selling pornography, and he can pull out a yellow joke in a few words, and he can't forget to say "The eldest sister is not an outsider" at the end.

Xu Meiling sat next to Zhong Shan, kept letting him eat vegetables, and persuaded him not to drink too much, and whispered: "You don't have to be too serious with these people. ”

This little action was discovered by Lao Yan, and he hurriedly said, "Xiao Xu, what kind of meeting are you two having there?" Can you tell us about it? Don't you like our talents? ”

Xu Meiling blushed, and said cautiously: "Brother Yan is talking nonsense again, Xiao Zhong has just arrived, don't scare other people's children." ”

In the midst of the staggering, the time had reached more than three o'clock in the afternoon. Minister Pang motioned to Xu Meiling to arrange for everyone to dance at the Yejian Workers' Club, Xu Meiling hurriedly went to the bar to call and book a room, and found a few female comrades from the agency to dance with.

Zhong Shan is a frequent visitor to the dance hall in college, and he is naturally no stranger to dancing, slow three, fast three, slow four, middle four, and fast four are proficient in everything, Xu Meiling accompanied him to dance two, and was greatly impressed by his dancing skills.

When they left the dance hall, it was already dark, and Lao Yan and the others still had to find a place to eat barbecue, and Zhong Shan took advantage of the fact that there were still things to deal with at home, so he left in advance.

Back at home, Zhong Shan threw himself into his bed, feeling exhausted.

The mother said distressedly: "How can this child be so tired on the first day of work?" ”
