67 Rue Haussmann, where the newspaper Le Figaro is located.

"Fello deputy editor-in-chief, the person recommended by Lady Lolita is here." A tall, thin man walked into the office of Mr. Felllow, the paper's deputy editor-in-chief.

"Okay, you let him in." Mr. Fillow replied without raising his head.

After a while, a dark-haired man walked into Fillow's office, bowed respectfully to Fillow, and said, "Dear Mr. Felllow, it's a pleasure to meet you, please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Charles Geng." ”

"Uh, sit down!" Fello turned his head to a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a clear face, his gray hair neatly combed behind his head, revealing a broad forehead.

"Geng, it's a pleasure to meet you, Lady Lolita recommended you, saying that you have extraordinary journalistic talent, so I want to ask you, what are the specific elements of journalism?"

"Time, place, event, followed by timeliness, accuracy, and authenticity," Geng replied, "Of course, this is the conventional wisdom, but in my opinion, it is more concise to describe it in terms of three elements, which I call the NTC element." ”

"Huh?" Filo glanced at Geng Chaozhong with a surprised gaze, "What is NTC?" ”

"New, Truth, and Communication." Geng Chaozhong replied calmly, in order to apply for this job, he had already made enough preparations in advance.

"Novelty, but very general," said Mr. Fillo, nodding his head, taking it as a trick of the applicant's grandstanding, "but I want to know, why did you come to work in Paris?" ”

"Actually, I have my own career in China, but I love working as an international journalist because it allows me to see different cultures and gives me more depth in my reporting." Geng Chaozhong replied.

"A good answer," said Mr. Fillo, with a look of satisfaction on his face, "but I can hear that your French does not seem to be very fluent. ”

"I've only been learning French for four months," Geng said, shrugging his shoulders, "but I can guarantee that it won't be an obstacle for me to be my assistant to you." ”

"Haha," Fillo smiled, "you are very frank, and at the same time, I am surprised by your confidence, and on the other hand, if you can master French at this level in four months, then it is only natural that I will have confidence in you." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Fillo, for your appreciation." Geng Chaozhong smiled.

"A one-week probationary period, with a weekly salary of 40 francs," said Mr. Fillo, tapping lightly on the table, "if there is nothing to prepare, then now you can get to work." ”

"Thank you!" Geng Chaozhong was overjoyed.

I thought I would encounter some trouble, but I didn't expect this Mr. Filo to be very talkative, I don't know if his performance is good enough? It was the recommendation of the so-called "Mrs. Lolita" that played a key role.

"Just sit over there!" Mr. Filo pointed to an empty seat opposite, "If someone comes in, you are in charge of receiving them, but please be careful, Figaro is a big newspaper, please be careful about your words and deeds, and besides, there are usually some people I don't want to meet, so you have to be skillful in refusing them." ”

"Yes sir." Geng Chaozhong nodded respectfully.

"By the way, what do you think about the current situation in Europe." Mr. Fillo asked seemingly casually as he flipped through some of the information at hand.

"I believe that the ambitions of the Germans cannot be contained, and that the surrender of the Saarland by France to the Germans will not only not eliminate the ambitions of the Germans, but will rather embolden them, as evidenced by the entry of the Wehrmacht into the Rhine district." Geng Chaozhong replied.

"That's the accepted opinion," Filo nodded noncommittally, "but Adolf has only been in power for two short years, and he can't afford to expand further in the next few years." ”

"I agree with you, but it also means that his purge in the country will be more drastic." Geng Chaozhong nodded.

"Oh? Are you referring to the GC party? Mr. Filo glanced at Geng Chaozhong.

"No," Geng Chaozhong shook his head, "it's a Jew." ”

"Jews?" "Yes, there have been some demonstrations against Jews in Germany, but most of them have gone away. ”

"Those marches are only the beginning, not the end," Geng stressed, "and I am afraid that a law against the Jews will soon be introduced in Germany." ”

"Hahahaha," said Mr. Fillo, smiled, "it is impossible, such a serious violation of human rights and international law will never be enforced, and the Germans will never introduce such a policy that is clearly contrary to the spirit of the Olympics at this time, when the Olympics will be held in Berlin next summer." ”

"IMHO, the Third Reich has already been formed, and nothing is impossible." Geng Chaozhong shook his head.

"Young man, your views on politics are still too naïve," Mr. Filo looked at Geng Chaozhong with the eyes of a man who had come from the past, "but it doesn't matter, the political section of Le Figaro is famous in Europe, and you will learn a lot from it in the future, of course, provided that you stay here long enough." ”

"Mr. Fillo," Geng Chaozhong was not to be outdone, "everything you said is based on the premise that Adolf will respect the current European system, but in my opinion, the existing European collective security system is already collapsing, morality will not become a constraint on power, and the current situation is more similar to power politics on the eve of the European war." ”

"Oh-oh, funny lad," Fillow laughed, "you seem to be saying that in just twenty years, there will be another world war in Europe." ”

"That's exactly what I think," Geng Chaozhong also smiled, "because the reasons for the outbreak of the European war have not been really resolved in the past twenty years." ”

"Interesting point," Mr. Filo lowered his head and stopped talking to Geng Chaozhong, but his lips whispered: "Arrogant and rude fellow, if it weren't for Madame Lolita, I would have kicked you out of the office just now........"

"What are you talking about, Mr. Fillo?" Geng Chaozhong looked at Filo curiously.

"Well, I've got something else in mind," said Mr. Fillo, touching the hair on the top of his forehead, "you go out now, and help me get a copy of the Berliner Times No. 3 from Mrs. Fabel's office, and by the way, Mrs. Faber is in room 203 on the second floor." ”

Geng Chaozhong agreed, got up and walked out.

He still saw a little bit of Mr. Fillo's expression, but Geng Chaozhong didn't mind this, he was not a real reporter, and he had no intention of being promoted in the newspaper system step by step, what he needed to do was to attract Mr. Fillo's attention in the shortest possible time, so as to obtain the greatest authority and freedom in the newspaper - so as not to hinder his next work.
