Chapter 9: Little Man is petrified
"Miss Ziyan, you are waiting for us here, and we will be back in a while." Hao Jie nodded to Ziyan, then grabbed Huang Meng and ran, "Quick, let's hurry up, otherwise it will be too late." ”
Huang Meng twisted his head and looked at Ziyan as he ran: "Sister Ziyan, you stay here, we will come back to save you immediately." ”
Ziyan nodded, waved at Huang Meng and told him not to worry.
Xuewen Street is a concentration of posters, and dozens of large and small newspapers are here.
The rent of the shops here is very expensive, and some small newspapers are not like the big ones, and all the establishments are located in the buildings on the street. They can only rent a small office, and some of them are shared by several newspapers. It's mainly the outreach, business and advertising departments, although there are many departments, and some small newspapers may have only one person working in them. These business operators are not at home all day long, and they are doing business everywhere, so this kind of newspaper often does not see people.
In an inconspicuous alley, domestic garbage is piled up on top of the water for many years, emitting bursts of foul smell. People here can't afford to pay for garbage removal, so there are no cleaners here. The people who live here clean up the garbage themselves, but they seem to be busy. Only those who can't stand it can clean up the garbage, but they seem to get used to it, so it gets smellier and smellier.
In the depths of such a foul-smelling alley, there is a house in which the printing press is busy at work. Yes, this is also a newspaper, a small tabloid office.
"What are you all doing? Look at what news you've all written!" The president and editor-in-chief Lao Niu was roaring, and the five young reporters below lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
Lao Niu was angry, and poked his fingers on the foreheads of these young people one by one: "Look at the news you wrote, Uncle Zhang's daughter-in-law committed adultery with Lao Wang next door, and Li Laosan came to the East China Sea to see a doctor and was deceived, what is this about." ”
Lao Niu angrily threw the manuscript paper in the face of the young reporter and scolded fiercely: "Do you know how expensive the rent of this house is? Does anyone watch your bad news? Do you know how much we're selling this month? With such a sales volume, why do we pull advertising, who trusts us. ”
"You are still shouting for bonuses every day, and you are embarrassed to ask for bonuses for such junk press releases, and all your wages will be deducted this month." Lao Niu continued to scold fiercely.
The young reporters did not dare to speak out, but they all knew in their hearts that the big newspapers were willing to pay money, and there were informants of reporters everywhere, so they could have big news, but our newspaper did not pay bonuses for many years, and often deducted wages, and their stomachs could not be filled, so where could they give money to informants.
The old cow's vicious gaze swept over and over again from the young reporter.
Standing in the far corner, a girl shivering, she was a new reporter who had just arrived at the newspaper last month. She is Zhang An's sister Zhang Xiaoman, she didn't graduate from college, and no newspaper wanted her, so she was only hired. At first, she thought she was very lucky, but she didn't expect that the nightmare that hit her on the first day of entering the newspaper office slowly began.
"Zhang Xiaoman!" The old cow drank loudly.
Zhang Xiaoman was so frightened that his legs trembled.
Lao Niu's fingers poked her head fiercely, and said sharply: "Zhang Xiaoman, you have been coming to the newspaper for more than a month, right?" It's also an old employee, you look at what you wrote. Do you think no one will notice you if you hide in a corner? ”
"Editor-in-chief, I was wrong, I will correct it." Zhang Xiaoman said tremblingly.
Lao Niu's fingers gently lifted Zhang Xiaoman's chin, and shouted: "Open your eyes, look into my eyes and answer, I asked you to go to the news of the student demonstration today, how did you go?" ”
When Zhang Xiaoman heard this, he immediately smiled proudly: "Editor-in-chief, I got it, I got it." "I also took a few pictures, and she pulled them out of her bag that had just been washed. Originally, as soon as I got the photo, I was going to come over and hand it to the editor-in-chief, but as soon as I entered the door, I was pulled to give a lecture, so I didn't have time.
As soon as Lao Niu heard the big news, he immediately smiled: "The photo, show it to me, young man, you did a good job, I am optimistic about you." ”
A few reporters muttered secretly, what a thing, changing face is faster than turning a book, whoever has news will recognize him as a father.
Lao Niu took the photo, looked at it carefully, and nodded while looking at it, "Yes, is there anything else?" ”
"No, it's all here." Zhang Xiaoman spread his hands.
Lao Niu's face turned green as soon as he brushed it, took the photo and slapped Zhang Xiaoman's face fiercely, and said mockingly: "It's gone? It's all here? Look at what you're shooting, a bunch of heads, what is this? A pile of garbage. ”
"Pigs, angelic faces, pig-like brains. Such a great opportunity was wasted by you, and you wouldn't walk in a little bit and take some valuable photos? "The old cow has completely gone berserk.
Zhang Xiaoman replied weakly: "There were too many people at that time, and I couldn't squeeze in." ”
"There are too many people, and there are too many people in our newspaper now." The old cow was so angry that he gasped: "Pack up your things and get out of here." ”
"Editor-in-chief, will you give me another chance? I won't let you down. Zhang Xiaoman begged.
"Disappear, disappear for me immediately!" The editor-in-chief yelled.
Zhang Xiaoman has clearly understood that he was fired, and he thought that he was full of enthusiasm at the beginning, but now it has come to naught.
"Why are you still here?" Lao Niu asked in a mocking tone.
Zhang Xiaoman asked weakly: "Editor-in-chief, haven't you paid me last month's salary?" ”
Hearing the word salary, Lao Niu shouted loudly: "You are embarrassed to ask for salary, tell me how many manuscripts you have written for so long and how much paper you have wasted in the newspaper." I haven't asked you for money yet, but you dare to ask me for a salary? ”
"Disappear, disappear!" The old cow has completely gone berserk.
was yelled at by the old cow, Zhang Xiaoman was so frightened that he immediately quit the newspaper and walked in the alley alone. In the past, she walked through the alley quickly, but today she walked very slowly, and seemed to feel the stench coming from the alley.
"It's here, it's here." Huang Meng led Hao Jie to this alley.
"There's a newspaper here?" Hao Jie couldn't help but be surprised.
Originally, Hao Jie thought that the newspaper offices were all in the buildings on the street, but he didn't expect that there were also newspaper offices in the depths of this alley. He subconsciously covered his nose with his hands, because the smell here was too strong.
"Huang Meng, is this newspaper reliable?" Hao Jie had countless question marks in his head at this time, after all, this apology was too important.
It would be nice if it could be published in a major newspaper, but can a newspaper publish such a sensitive topic? But Hao Jie has only been in the East China Sea for the second day, and he has nothing to do with it, if he rashly goes to an unfamiliar newspaper, if the newspaper does not publish, if the newspaper directly informs the Japanese, then all the previous efforts will be scrapped.
For today's plan, I can only believe this Zhang Xiaoman, after all, he knows Huang Meng.
"Sister Xiao Man, Sister Xiao Man." Huang Meng saw Zhang Xiaoman from a distance and quickly greeted him.
"Sister Xiaoman, what's wrong with you? I don't pay attention to you when you call you so much. Huang Meng came to Zhang Xiaoman and shouted loudly.
Zhang Xiaoman slowly raised his head and replied weakly: "Oh, Xiaomeng, why are you here, didn't you go to class?" ”
"I didn't have classes today, so I went to the Japanese consulate for a parade. What's wrong with you? The face is so bad, isn't there something uncomfortable? Do you want me to accompany you to the hospital? Huang Meng asked with concern.
"It's nothing, I'm just in a bad mood, I'll be fine after a good night's sleep." Zhang Xiaoman replied weakly.
Watching these two people grinding and chirping, Hao Jie stepped forward quickly, "Hello, I am Huang Meng's teacher, my name is Hao Jie, I came to you today for an important matter to ask you for help." ”
Zhang Xiaoman looked up at this strange man, to be honest, he was quite handsome, but my sister was not in the mood to appreciate the handsome guy today. She turned her head to Huang Meng and said, "Xiao Meng, I'm a little tired today, go home and sleep first." Then he kept walking.
When Hao Jie heard this, he thought to himself who Huang Meng was looking for, and he was about to leave without saying anything when they first met. But now there must be a lot of Japanese spies out there searching for them, and it's hard to find a newspaper office, although it's a little smaller, maybe it's safer than the big newspaper outside.
If you come, you will be safe, it is impossible to just slip away in disgrace, isn't that a trip for nothing? Thinking of this, Hao Jie sincerely called Zhang Xiaoman: "Miss Zhang, I want to find you to publish something, I wonder if you can do me a favor?" ”
As soon as Zhang Xiaoman heard that this person was going to ask something to publish it for her, Zhang Xiaoman's eyes lit up suddenly, this was a professional instinct. But as soon as she turned around and saw Huang Meng, she was immediately discouraged, what could this little kid have to say. And she is not even a reporter now, so I am afraid that she is powerless to help.
However, Zhang Xiaoman thought about it, since people had come to the door, this kid was his brother's classmate, and the other was his brother's teacher, so she directly refused to be embarrassed, she looked at Huang Meng, and asked weakly: "Could it be a missing person notice or something?" I'm going to talk about it, and I'm going to give you a discount. ”
"It's not." Hao Jie shook his head, and immediately took out the letter of apology from the shore letter and handed it to Zhang Xiaoman.
Zhang Xiaoman opened the apology book weakly, a bright red "Japanese Consulate" seal, her eyes instantly straightened, and then looked at the content, the Japanese consul's apology was really exciting.
Seeing Zhang Xiaoman staring at the piece of paper, he was silent for a long time, after all, this matter is very important, and ordinary newspapers may not dare to publish it, so he asked tentatively: "Miss Zhang, can this Dongdong be published in your newspaper?" ”
Zhang Xiaoman was completely immersed in excitement at this time, how could he hear the sound outside.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaoman was still motionless, Hao Jie looked at Huang Meng, what was the situation. Huang Meng also shook his head helplessly, what is wrong with my sister today, just now she was weak and half dead, and now she is staying there and not moving, living a Wangfu stone.
