Chapter 10: Scoundrels
Cao Yuanan said with a smile: "Those who know me don't hear it." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 At this stage, the sales of our newspaper's "Dajiang Daily" are about to reach 10,000, but they don't know that your novels feed this newspaper, and you have contributed a lot, but if we consider the long-term development, we must divide the "Dajiang Daily" into three categories: current affairs, gossip, and novels, each with its own editors, so that we can stabilize this situation when the "Dajiang Daily" still has a certain influence. Don't ignore the end of the serialization of your novel, which is the time when "Dajiang Bao" is destroyed. ”
Yan Buwen agreed, Cao Yuan'an said reasonably: "This is no better, the biggest problem of "Dajiang Daily" now is that it is too miscellaneous, there is everything, but it is not fine, if it is classified, although it increases a certain cost, it is easy to stabilize the fixed readers." ”
Cao Yuanan said: "If it succeeds, our newspaper will surpass the Shanghai Daily." ”
At that time, "Dajiang Bao" will naturally replace "Shanghai Daily" and occupy the "Shanghai Daily" market, and only in this way will it have the strength to launch an attack on "Declaration", which has the highest market share among Shanghai newspapers.
"I don't hear it, you are the deputy editor-in-chief of the novel column, and you are a big intellectual, so you should name the novel newspaper "Dajiang Daily". Cao Yuanan smiled, and then stabbed Yan Yan.
Yan Buwen thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it 'zero point'." "Zero represents the beginning of the day, and it also has the meaning of 'starting point', giving other writers a platform to publish their novels, starting from scratch.
Cao Yuanan applauded: "It is worthy of being a university scholar, the name Zero is good, and the novel column has been completely renamed "Dajiang Daily Zero Point". ”
Cao Yuan'an then asked, "No, how did you tell you about finding an assistant last time?" If you can't find one, I can help you pick one among the new hires. ”
Yan Buwen said no: "I've already found it, I'm an intern, and I come over to help on weekends, and I don't usually need it." ”
Cao Yuanan nodded thoughtfully: "Since this is the case, I won't worry about it, remember to let her go to the editorial department to register when the time comes, so that she can pay her salary." Cao Yuanan remembered the last time he heard someone say that Yan Buwen brought a little girl from an internship to visit the newspaper office, and it was probably so.
Just like cartoonists, cartoonists need a lot of assistants, and Yan Buwen has to be both an associate editor and write a novel, so it does make sense to have an assistant.
Cao Yuan'an continued to watch at the printing office, Yan Buwen returned to the newspaper office, it was now less than nine o'clock, just passed, I saw someone wandering at the door of the newspaper office, and when she saw Yan Buwen coming, she hurriedly walked over: "Mr. Yan, you are back." ”
Yan Buwen said: "Go in, when did you come, why didn't I see you before." ”
Ruan Lingyu said: "Around half past eight, I was a little late, and I heard this uncle at the door say that you went out, so I waited outside for a while." ”
Yan Buwen smiled, and then asked, "Did you come by car?" ”
Ruan Lingyu didn't answer, so Yan didn't hear it: "Next time I take a rickshaw over, I will be reimbursed." ”
Ruan Lingyu hurriedly said: "It's too troublesome, sir, I am already very grateful for a job, and I don't want you to break the bank." ”
Yan Buwen smiled, and then took Ruan Lingyu to the editorial office on the second floor, Chen Kang and Wang Liangting were there, and when they saw Yan Buwen coming, they hurriedly stepped forward: "Mr. Yan, you said that the content of our "Dajiang Daily" should be separated, is it true?" ”
Yan Buwen said: "This is the inevitable situation on the road to the development of the newspaper, you all know it?" ”
Wang Liangting hurriedly pushed his hand: "I don't know, I don't know." ”
Chen Kang said with a smile: "If we are separated, our newspaper will be regarded as a big newspaper." ”
Another colleague in the editorial department said: "Now it's a big newspaper, with forty or fifty employees, it's not big?" Now there are more than a dozen tabloid employees. ”
Wang Liangting said to himself: "It's good to be separated, it's good to be separated." "The newspapers are separated, each performing its own duties, and Wang Liangting's power is also much greater, and his salary will inevitably rise at that time, how can Wang Liangting not welcome such a good thing.
"Who is this?" Wang Liangting saw Ruan Lingyu.
Ruan Lingyu said: "My name is Ruan Lingyu, and I am a student who interned with Mr. Yan. Ruan Lingyu directly abandoned the name Ruan Yuying and used the new name that Yan Buwen gave her.
Wang Liangting beckoned a colleague to register Ruan Lingyu.
After going upstairs and entering the office, Ruan Lingyu looked around, then played with the four "figures" on Yan Buwen's desk, and then read the newspaper for a while and asked, "Mr. Yan, what am I doing here?" ”
Yan Buwen took out a stack of manuscript paper from the drawer and handed it to Ruan Lingyu: "I'll tell you." ”
After Ruan Lingyu came over, Yan Buwen pointed to the manuscript and said, "Have you seen that these two stacks of manuscripts are different?" ”
Ruan Lingyu nodded: "I saw it, and then what?" ”
"These two stacks of manuscripts are divided into several sheets, each one has numbers on it, you arrange them according to the numbers, these are all novel manuscripts, just give them to me when they are arranged." Yan Buwen handed the manuscript to Ruan Lingyu, and let her do this little bit of work without any skills.
Ruan Lingyu took the manuscript over, and then sat on the small table on the side and slowly divided: "Are these all novel manuscripts of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer"?" ”
"That's right." Yan Buwen was carving on the wood with a knife, and these days, the whole body has been outlined, and there is only a little workmanship.
"Why is the handwriting on this different?"
Yan Buwen said: "This is dictated by me and ghostwritten by others, otherwise I would not have so much effort to spend time writing novels, I would have to be busy to death." ”
Ruan Lingyu nodded: "It also makes sense." ”
Finally, by the time he got off work in the afternoon, the wood in Yan Buwen's hand had been carved into a human shape, so Yan Buwen put the wood carving into his desk.
As for Ruan Lingyu, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Buwen arranged a car to send her back, her home is not close to the newspaper office, so it is safe to go back early.
The rickshaw master crossed the intersection, the street, and the riverside, and Ruan Lingyu was looking at the notes she had taken down today, she was not very tired from the work she did today, but she had to work hard, Mr. Yan gave her the opportunity to work, and she should cherish it. As for applying for the Star Film Academy, let's put it aside for the time being, save some money, otherwise I won't be able to pay the tuition if I am admitted.
It's convenient to go once a week, but it's also a long way back, so it's nice to stay next to the newspaper. Ruan Lingyu thought about whether she wanted to move, but thinking that Shangwen Girls' School was not close to the newspaper, so she gave up, it was really tiring to go back and forth, and the car money was worth her day's salary, Ruan Lingyu sighed.
When she arrived at the intersection of North Sichuan Road, Ruan Lingyu asked the rickshaw master to stop, and she wanted to get out of the car: "How much?" ”
The rickshaw master smiled: "How can I ask for your money, Mr. Yan has already given it and given a tip, Miss, you go slowly." ”
Mr. Yan...... It's really weird, why is it so ......good to me, who has never known me," Ruan Lingyu thought, but then shook her head, maybe she was just thinking too much.
Ruan Lingyu walked into the alley, feeling a little happy in her heart, at least she still had a job, and she could make some money to fill the family.
"Xiao Ruan!" As soon as Ruan Lingyu walked into the alley, a person in a suit appeared behind her and shouted.
Ruan Lingyu turned her head suspiciously, and a person had already walked towards her: "Xiao Ruan, I waited for you here for a day, where have you been?" ”
Ruan Lingyu looked over, just now because of the sun, only saw a black shadow coming towards her, and when she got closer, she found that it was an acquaintance, but this acquaintance was even stranger than a stranger, Ruan Lingyu's face was a little unsightly, she didn't say a word, and was about to leave, when the person rushed in front of her and stopped her, Ruan Lingyu was surprised: "What are you going to do?" ”
The man said: "Xiao Ruan, I know I disappointed you, I came to apologize to you this time, can you forgive me?" Just like before, we can still be good friends. ”
Ruan Lingyu frowned, not knowing why she was a little disgusted: "Don't get in front of me, I'm going home." ”
The man was about to step forward and take Ruan Lingyu's hand, Ruan Lingyu quickly withdrew his hand and put it on his chest, his expression was very unnatural, and the man laughed embarrassedly: "You also know that I am the only one in my heart, every time I part with you, I feel that it is the closest time to you, because at that time you always appear in my mind, in my heart, my whole person can be crazy for you." Xiao Ruan, don't be so ruthless, okay? ”
Ruan Lingyu said with a smile: "Young Master Zhang, I have never had a relationship with you, yes, I was blessed by you before, I found a cottage for me and my mother, and paid the rent of 10 yuan a month, but didn't the money pay you back after that?" Why are you still chattering here, I'm so tired from work every day, can you let me have a good rest? Please, Young Master Zhang, you go to find your bosom sister, don't come to me, is it okay? ”
The man suddenly sneered, "Are you in love with other people?" Then you forgot about me, no wonder I went to the crew yesterday and you weren't there, and you found a new love so quickly, I really underestimated you, Ruan Yuying. ”
Ruan Lingyu was angry, how could this person be so shameless and slander people's innocence out of thin air: "Without what you said, what I want to do, it's not your turn." ”
The man smiled, showing a sad look: "Don't lie to me, old love and new love, how can you choose the latter, it's probably because I'm useless to you, right, my family is starting to fall, you just kick me off, and then find someone richer, right?" ”
Ruan Lingyu was speechless, this kind of splashing, no matter how she communicated with him, it was simply a nerve: "I don't care what you say, I'm going back, you get out of the way." ”
The man took a breath, and then asked, "Xiao Ruan, I ask you for the last time, do you have me in your heart, if not, then I'll leave, and I won't bother you again in the future, okay?" ”
Ruan Lingyu's eyes widened and she glared at the man: "No, I'm satisfied." ”
After Ruan Lingyu finished speaking, she bypassed the man and walked to the depths of the alley.
The man was stunned for a moment, as if there was flying sand floating by, he couldn't help but wipe his eyes, and then caught up with Ruan Lingyu: "Xiao Ruan, since you are ruthless to me, then I also want to open ......"
The man seemed to have something difficult to say, but if he didn't say it, Ruan Lingyu turned around and left.
"Xiao Ruan, can you lend me some money, I've been a little short of money lately......"
Ruan Lingyu held her head high, as if she was smiling rather than smiling, as if she was crying rather than crying, her smile was complicated, and her expression was indifferent: "I should have understood the purpose of your coming today......
The man couldn't smile: "I...... Actually, I'm not what you think, I'm really in a hurry...... Will return ......"
Ruan Lingyu took out ten dimes of coins from the small bag she was carrying and stuffed them to the man: "Don't come to me again in the future!" ”
"Xiao Nguyen ......"
