Chapter Twenty-Six: People Are Superfluous
Before eight o'clock in the morning on Monday, Zhong Shan reported to the personnel department of Qingshan Daily, and he had already made an advance amount, but he didn't expect that the other 9 editorial staff hired this time came earlier than him. Director Jia of the Personnel Department clicked their names one by one, announced the whereabouts of each person's assignment, and then sent people to Xiaohou, the officer of the Personnel Department, one department after another.
Just as Tian Chunming said, the office conditions of Qingshan Daily are indeed no better than those of Qingshan Radio and Television Station, which is a four-story old Russian-style red brick building, with a very high ceiling in the building, but the light is relatively dim, which looks a little gloomy. The corridors and offices are old red pine floors, and the sound of feet plopping on them is loud, the paint of the floors has been worn to the ground, and the gaps between the floors are not small.
Zhong Shan was assigned to the Ministry of Finance and Trade, responsible for financial reporting. When the fifth brother Wang Xueli heard the distribution result, he said with envy: "The Ministry of Finance and Trade, the fattest department of the newspaper, I have been looking forward to it for several years and have not gotten such a good opportunity." I said it, seventh brother, come to our newspaper, those lynx beasts all have to stand aside, and the fifth brother will depend on you in the future! ”
On the second day of registration, Zhong Shan, in accordance with the instructions of Liu Quanquan, director of the Ministry of Finance and Trade, contacted Li Xiangqian, who was in charge of news and publicity in the office of the Municipal Finance Bureau, and said that Director Liu would take the new reporter to the Finance Bureau to identify the door, and by the way, listen to the situation and see if he could break some report topics. Li Xiangqian happily agreed, saying, "I have a job at hand now, you wait in the morning and don't move, I will take the car to the newspaper office to pick you up before noon." ”
It was almost 11 o'clock at noon, and Master Wei from the communication room downstairs called and said that comrades from the Finance Bureau had come to pick up Director Liu and Reporter Zhong for an interview.
Zhong Shan hurriedly stuffed the interview book and pen into his bag and went downstairs with Director Liu.
Li Xiangqian shook hands with Director Liu and Zhong Shan one by one, and talked about age, Li Xiangqian was five years older than Zhong Shan, thirty years old. The three of them got into the Shanghai car of the Finance Bureau, and the car kept driving, not to the office building of the Finance Bureau, but to the front of the * hotel. This is where Lao Yan had an accident, and of course Zhong Shan is extremely impressed.
After getting out of the car, Li Xiangqian led Zhong Shan into a small private room, where two men and a woman were already waiting. Director Liu obviously knew everything, and nodded to everyone. Li Xiangqian introduced Zhong Shan one by one: "This is the director of the bureau office, also surnamed Liu, Liu Feng." This lady is the deputy director of the office. This young man, the same age as you, is Xiao Wang, an office officer. Zhong Shan shook hands one by one and introduced himself: "I am Zhong Shan, a reporter from the daily newspaper. ”
Li Xiangqian said: "You come back to our bureau for an interview, just contact before noon, whatever materials you want, I can let you get it sorted out, your main task is to drink with a few brothers." ”
Director Liu Feng also said yes again and again, saying: "Forward is also a big stick of our bureau, of course, it can't be compared with your Director Liu Da Zhong Da reporter, but it should be no problem to provide a basic material." ”
As he spoke, the food came up and the wine was poured. Zhong Shan couldn't stand the other party's hospitality, so he had to dry it with one cup at a time.
Full of wine and food, Li Xiangqian said: "I have already arranged, the two of you will go to the soup spring bath to take a bath after dinner and sober up." ”
Director Ma said: "You men go, I will go back to the office to watch the house, and I will not accompany you." ”
Xiao Wang saw that he couldn't sit in the car, and said knowingly: "I also have to go back and call to inform me of the meeting in the bureau tomorrow." ”
The car pulled the two directors Liu, Li Xiangqian, and Zhong Shan to the Tangquan bath.
The hot spring bath is a high-end bathing center that has just opened in Qingshan City, with luxurious decoration and beautiful waiters. In the small shower room, the top and side sprays of various water sprays can be adjusted, and under each shower head is placed a white marble stone table carved into the shape of various small animals. In the large pool, under the simulated coconut tree is a bay of clear water with a suitable temperature, and the body is immersed in it, as if you are in a tropical ocean. The bathing center also has a sauna, a surf bath, a milk bath, a salt bath and other services.
After soaking, the four of them came to the rest room wrapped in bathrobes, and Li Xiangqian wanted to arrange a young masseuse for each person to relax. Zhong Shan was busy saying that he had a lot of itchy flesh on his body, and he was afraid of being touched by others since he was a child. Li Xiangqian said regretfully: "Then you can drink some tea in the lounge first, watch TV, wait for Director Liu for a while, and then let's go to the dance hall next to it." After that, he took the two directors Liu into their respective massage rooms.
After waiting for more than an hour, the three of them finished their massage and the group came to the ballroom. As soon as he sat down in the lounge chairs by the corridor, out of nowhere, four young girls in heavy makeup and colorful flowers appeared, each taking a man's hand and sliding onto the dance floor. Zhong Shan's dance partner wore a flesh-pink low-cut shirt, and the front chest was very close to him, and the pungent smell of perfume made him feel suffocated, and the dance steps naturally could not be stretched. After he finished taking a bath, he had already woken up from the wine, and at this moment, he was dizzy again. The lights in the ballroom were so dim that I didn't know where the three were.
The second day, the third day, and the fourth day, Director Liu led Zhong Shan to various units to recognize the door, and the experience of each house was similar, first setting up a banquet to welcome the director and the new reporter, and then taking a bath, or dancing, or bathing and dancing, during which Zhong Shan also learned to play mahjong. He has a smart brain, he can learn a few times, and he actually wins more and loses less.
The press release also wrote a few tofu blocks, all of which were ready-made materials for reference, the writing was smooth and the writing was smooth, but there was no point in Zhongshan's own thoughts.
