By the end of June, most of the graduates had left the school, and Pan Pan finally followed her sweetheart to Xiamen to study. During this period, Jiajia signed a contract with the intern electronics company as she wished, and a stone fell to the ground. Because the TV station is very far away from the man's home, if the man goes home to live, the time spent on the road every day is too long, and it is also to be with Jiajia, so the man and Jiajia decide to rent a house.

"Jiajia, I think the house in Mazhuang last time I saw it was good, it was a one-bedroom apartment, and the rent was only 90 yuan a month." The man and Jiajia sat on a stool in the cafeteria, eating fruit and discussing.

Jiajia took a bite of the apple and said, "Well, I think it's okay, but we don't want to rent it now, the school hasn't driven us away now, and we will rent it again when we can't hold it out in August, so that we can pay a month's rent less." ”

The man smiled and said, "You really know how to live." ”

Jiajia pursed her lips and said, "Hmph, it is really a blessing for you to be able to find such a good daughter-in-law as me in your previous life." ”

The man smiled and touched Jiajia's head and said, "I admit it, you are my lucky star, okay?" ”

Jiajia suddenly remembered something, grabbed the man's hand and said, "Man, I'm going to live with you soon, you have to promise me that I will never change my mind." ”

The man shook his head helplessly and said, "Do you still need to guarantee this?" It's not the first day we've met, and you don't know me yet, do you? ”

"That's not easy to say," Jiajia pouted, "You see Pan Pan and her boyfriend are also very hot at school, and her boyfriend is a little crooked before she graduates, you men are really uncertain." ”

The man snorted disdainfully and said, "Her boyfriend has been attentive from the very beginning, and everyone has a premonition in their hearts, can I be the same as him?" I dare to say," the man swallowed and foamed, "I don't look at any other girl except you." ”

After listening to this, Jiajia looked at the man with satisfaction, hugged his arm, closed her eyes sweetly and said, "Cough, then I will live with you with confidence." ”

Whether it is salary or contract, the job of the TV station is not as ideal as Du Nannan originally envisioned, but in any case, this is the first job in his life, and the TV station has given him a big halo at least nominally, so the man is still looking forward to going to work. On July 1st, an unforgettable day in the man's life finally came.

On the first day of work, you must not be late, Du Nannan got up at 6 o'clock in the morning, washed up, ate breakfast, carried the leather bag bought from the wholesale market, and walked towards a new life in style. When he arrived at the TV station, he first went to the office to get his key card, which had his photo and work department on it, and then went straight to the office of the External Propaganda Center. Because external propaganda is not a core business department, it is not located in the main building, but in an old-fashioned three-story building behind the main building. Although it is an old building, it is surrounded by green trees and green vines, and it feels very comfortable and elegant.

Du Nannan went to the third floor and found the office with the "External Propaganda Center" hanging on it, and when he pushed the door, he found that the door was locked. He looked at his watch, it was just a little after 8 o'clock, and the working hours written on the employment notice were from 8:30 in the morning to 5:30 in the evening. He went downstairs again, and sat down in the little garden downstairs. The early morning sun shines on the low trees, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and with a few bird calls, Du Nannan is in a very happy mood.

After more than 40 minutes, Du Nannan saw a forty-year-old sister riding a bicycle downstairs from a distance, locking the car and looking this way. He immediately stood up and walked over to meet his eyes.

"You're Du Nannan, right?"

"It's me, hello Sister Song!"

"Hello, hello!" Sister Song was very happy to hear Du Nannan call out her name.

Du Nannan did his homework, and during the last interview, Yingning had already introduced him to the situation of the External Propaganda Center. In addition to the director, there is also a 50-year-old Rankid, who has worked in the TV station for more than 30 years, used to be the director's driver, and later transferred to the external propaganda center when he was older; Song Yali, who is in her forties, is a double employee of a TV station, her husband is the chief reporter of the station, and she has an eleven-year-old child. There is also a twenty-eight-year-old ***, who was assigned after graduating from college many years ago, and the three of them are all hired by Taiwan. Because of their personal characteristics and obvious age gap, as soon as Sister Song came, Du Nannan called her name with certainty.

"No one in the office?" Sister Song asked.

Du Nannan walked out of the garden and said, "Well, I came a little early today, hehe." ”

Sister Song took out the bag in the basket and said, "Ahem, it's not that you're early, it's that they're late every day." Sister Song came upstairs with the man, and Sister Song opened the door and went in with the man.

It was a small room, clean, with five desks, three with office supplies, apparently for three people, another with papers and newspapers and magazines cluttered with papers, newspapers and magazines, and a computer on top of it. Sister Song threw the bag on her desk, pointed to the table with magazines piled up and said, "Xiao Du, you just sit here, you can put the messy things on it in the cabinet over there first." ”

Du Nannan answered, hurriedly put his bag on the chair, and began to tidy up the table. Sister Song picked up her cup and brewed a cup of tea, took out the breakfast she brought, and chatted with Du Nannan while eating.

"Xiao Du, we finally have a newcomer in the external propaganda center, how many years have we been, just me and Shengli, and Lao Lantou. You young people are energetic, energetic, and quick to respond, and it still depends on you for any important work in the future. ”

Du Nannan replied while wiping the table: "Sure, Sister Song, I just graduated, and I have to ask you for more advice if there is anything I didn't do well." ”

"Don't dare to advise, if there is anything you need to pay attention to, I will remind you."

"Thank you, Sister Song!"

Du Nannan chatted with Sister Song while cleaning up, and it was quickly cleaned up. Sister Song brought him a notebook and a pen, and gave her a copy of the introduction materials in the station, so that he could take a look at it first. Du Nannan took it and looked at it seriously. After a while, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a small man came in, and before he could stand firmly, he hurriedly said: "Mom, I almost bumped into the director, so he should be scolded again, hehe." ”

As soon as Du Nannan turned around, he met the man's eyes.

"Ouch, this is a new college student, right?"

"Brother Shengli, I'm Du Nannan."

"Hello, sit down, it's good, there's a newcomer, there's finally a chatter in the future, and playing mahjong is finally enough for a table, haha." Du Nannan also smiled.

Sister Song pointed at the victory and said: "Look at this product, it was a highly talented student of Communication University back then, and now there is only mahjong left." Du Nannan smiled and looked at the victory.

Shengli crooked his mouth and said: "Come on, Sister Song, playing mahjong is your favorite, and my favorite is Shuangsheng, haha." After speaking, he looked back at Du Nannan and asked, "Which school are you from?" ”

"Northern College of Arts and Sciences."

"Oh." The expression of victory was a little surprised, these students who graduated from prestigious schools have a sense of superiority in their bones, and they look down on students from ordinary universities a little.

Du Nannan noticed the change in Shengli's expression, and hurriedly said: "Brother Shengli, I know that you are a highly talented student who graduated from Communication University, I am too far behind you, and I will need more guidance from you in my work in the future, and you can directly criticize you if you don't do well." ”

When Shengli heard this, his vanity was greatly satisfied, and what he was most proud of was his educational background, but whenever he talked about this, he was in a better mood.

The three of them chatted word by word, but they didn't notice that the door opened quietly, and the last owner of this office came. Du Nannan's eyes were quick, and when he saw someone coming in, he hurriedly stood up and said hello: "Hello Uncle Lan, you are here." ”

Ranjid looked at Du Nannan and nodded indifferently, which made Du Nannan a little disappointed. Sister Song saw Lan Jide enter the house, glanced at him and asked, "Old Lan, what's wrong, you're sick again?" ”

Rangid nodded, slowly sat down in his place, took out a bottle of stomach medicine from the drawer, and took two pills.

Du Nannan hurriedly stepped forward to bring Uncle Lan's cup, took a glass of water and handed it over.

Rangid looked at the young man officially, squeezed out a smile, and said "thank you". When Du Nannan saw the medicine on the table, he knew that Uncle Lan had a stomach problem.

Shengli also walked over, as if introducing Du Nannan, and said: "Your Uncle Lan was on a perennial business trip with the front desk manager, and he ate irregularly, and now he has a problem, a bad stomach, a bad cervical spine, and a chronic heart disease, and he still insists on working, what a good model." ”

Rangid waved his hand and said, "You guy, go aside, don't talk about it here." ”

Shengli ignored him and said with a smile: "You have a stomach problem today, don't come, just make a phone call." Ranjid shook his head and said, "No, there is a document issued today, I will go to a meeting later and get it back." ”

"Oh, then you get the papers back and go home and rest."

"Hmm." Lan Jide turned his head and looked at Du Nannan and said, "Xiao Du, I won't chat with you today, I have time to chat, I'm not feeling well today, I'll leave after the meeting." ”

Du Nannan hurriedly replied: "It's okay Uncle Lan, you are busy with you first, and you have time to chat." ”

Ranjid nodded, took another sip of water, picked up the folder and went out.

Shengli stood up, patted the man on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, go out for a cigarette and have a chat." ”

The man hurriedly stood up and followed Victory downstairs.

When he got downstairs, Shengli took out a box of five-leaf gods and handed the man a cigarette.

The man took it and was surprised to find that the filter of this cigarette had been pinched off, and when he looked closely, the filters of all the cigarettes in the victory cigarette box had been pinched off.

He was curious, pointed to the cigarette and asked, "Brother Shengli, what does this mean?" ”

Shengli smiled and said: "I smoke heavily, I have to smoke two at a time to enjoy adding a filter, pinch the filter, I smoke one at a time is enough, how much money to save." ”

The man's mouth was half open, and it was the first time he had heard of such a thing. After a long time, the man realized that Shengli had another effect - he could ask everyone for cigarettes, and everyone would not reach out to him for cigarettes, because who could stand cigarettes without filters.

Enthusiastic Shengli chatted with Du Nannan about this and that, and introduced the situation in the station. There are serious ones, and there are gossipy ones. Du Nannan listened to it with relish, and he was also very happy to have such a confidant brother. At noon, Sister Song wanted to go home for dinner, only Shengli took Du Nannan to the canteen to eat, the standard of one yuan per person, six dishes and one soup were full, for Du Nannan, who had never eaten anything good, this was simply heaven, he had a round stomach after eating, and even Shengli sighed that he was old and couldn't eat anything at all.

In the afternoon, they returned to the office, looked at the documents that Uncle Lan had brought back, understood the spirit, and there was nothing wrong. Shengli was very concerned about Du Nannan's entertainment skills and asked a lot of questions. Helplessly, Du Nannan doesn't play much cards, mahjong, and video games. The victory was a little disappointed, and it wasn't until Du Nannan said that Shuangsheng played well that he felt that he had gained something. And just like that, the first day of work passed before I knew it.

When she got home from work, Jiajia hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" Is the unit fun? ”

The man sat on the bed, half-leaning on the quilt and said, "It's not fun, I just looked at the documents and didn't do anything." ”

"Oh," Jiajia then asked, "how are the people in the unit?" Is it easy to get along with? ”

The man nodded and said, "People are good, very kind, especially that victory, maybe the age gap is not big, they talked to me a lot, and they took care of me." ”

Jiajia nodded and said, "That's good, on the first day of work, I definitely won't let you do anything, so take your time in the future." ”

The man rubbed his eyes, looked at Jiajia and asked, "By the way, what about you, why haven't you told me about your unit recently?" ”

Jiajia didn't speak, her hand wiping the table slowed down, paused for a while and said, "I'll be like that, let's do it." ”

"Again?" The man heard the problem, got up from the bed, put his arm on Jiajia's shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?" Unhappy just going? ”

Jiajia sighed, put down the rag in her hand, shook her hand and said: "I used to intern, I had few people and things, and I felt quite happy, but now that I am officially working, I found out that the company is very chaotic." ”

"What's the mess?" The man asked curiously.

"I sent materials to the boss this afternoon, and after knocking on the door for a long time, there was no movement, so I came out and waited," Jiajia raised her head to look at the man, and continued mysteriously, "After a while, I saw our treasurer come out of it, and he looked at me very strangely. ”

The man scratched his head and said, "Maybe people talk about the company's confidential issues, I don't want you, a newcomer, to know, don't think about it." ”

Jiajia shook her head and said, "Definitely not, her hair was tied up when she went in, and when she came out, her hair was messy, and her makeup was a little flowery," Jiajia said like a little detective, "She passed me, and I just glanced up at her and saw that her bra was buttoned crookedly." ”

The man vaguely guessed something, but he thought about it, Jiajia couldn't get used to this, and if he complained again, it would definitely affect Jiajia's mood even more, so he said haha: "Ahem, if people are willing to fight and suffer, you can do your own thing, just leave them alone." ”

Jiajia frowned and said, "I know, but it's just ...... Feel under the weather. ”

The man hugged Jiajia from behind, and said with a smile: "You, you just have a habit of cleanliness, not only a habit of life, but also a habit of thought, always hoping that the world is perfect, how is it possible?" After speaking, he turned Jiajia around, held her face and said, "Many things, if you can't change them, you can only find a way to adapt, right?" ”

Jiajia nodded, suddenly changed her tone, and said to the man with a smile: "You can do it, you have only been working for a day and have started to teach me the truth of life, look at the way you chew." The man laughed.

The next day, Du Nannan arrived at the unit early as yesterday and sat in the small garden waiting for someone to come. This victory came first, and after eating at noon, he took Du Nannan to get a key. In the afternoon, I still read documents, chat, and then leave work.

On the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day, and a week later, Du Nannan did almost nothing except read a few documents and helped Sister Song run errands and send some things, which made him feel at a loss for Du Nannan, who was full of enthusiasm.

In the second week, a new workday began. On Monday, Du Nannan was the first to arrive at the office, cleaned up briefly, and sat in his place reading the newspaper. Reading newspapers is a compulsory course for office workers, both to keep informed and boring. Today, Sister Song sent her children to school relatively late, and when Shengli and Uncle Lan came, Du Nannan had already finished reading the newspaper. Two men came into the office, made tea, split the newspaper in two, one and a half, and began to look at it with relish.

"Man, did you read the news?" Shengli suddenly said excitedly to the man, "A girl slept with all of her ex-boyfriend's best friends in order to get revenge on her ex-boyfriend. What do you think she thinks? ”

The man smiled and didn't say anything.

Victory didn't seem to care, and lowered his head to immerse himself in his newspaper. After a few minutes, Shengli shook the man's shoulder again and said: "Wow, do you see this news, the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Singapore is married, a mansion of 10 million, three famous cars, and the other party is required to be under 50 years old, and a healthy man is enough." Once married, all property is the joint property of the husband and wife. Man, why don't we give it a try? ”

Du Nannan smiled and said, "This must be fake." ”

Shengli said thoughtfully: "How do you say this liar is deceiving people? Why don't we give a phone call and ask, I read the newspaper every day, and I can see a batch of these advertisements every day. ”

Du Nannan lowered his head and was noncommittal.

After another moment, Victory Quack burst out laughing.

The man was curious, turned his head and asked, "What's the matter, Brother Shengli?" ”

Victory couldn't breathe with laughter, and endured it for a while before holding the newspaper and saying to the man: "Look, a few thieves in Ukraine wanted to steal the bank, dug the tunnel, dug it for almost a month, and immediately dug it through, as a result," Victory couldn't help but laugh again, "As a result, the tunnel collapsed, hahahaha," Victory wiped a handful of tears, handed over the newspaper, pointed to a picture on it and said, "Look, look at the appearance of these people, hahahaha, you said that this life is too bad." ”

The man looked at the accompanying picture and also giggled, not knowing if he was laughing at the news or laughing at the victory.

In the afternoon, the Secretariat sent a document, which was the publicity draft of the Cultural Festival, which needed to be translated by the Publicity Center and handed over to the Organizing Committee of the Cultural Festival. Du Nannan took the document and immediately opened the only computer to translate it seriously. The document is only about 1,000 words in total, and Du Nannan completed the translation in less than two hours with his solid basic skills, and he took the Oxford Double Interpretation Dictionary to verify the uncertain parts, and felt that it was indeed no problem, so he printed it out quickly and took it to Uncle Lan.

Uncle Lan looked at it roughly, pointed at Shengli and said, "Show it to Gao Caisheng, I can't read English." ”

Du Nannan turned his head again and gave victory.

Shengli was reading a novel with relish, took Du Nannan's file, and asked before he could recover from the novel, "What is this?" ”

"The document that the Secretariat asked to translate."

Victory flipped through the front and back and asked, "Isn't this just sent in the afternoon?" ”

"Yes."

Shengli looked down again, raised his head and looked at Du Nannan and said, "Dude, are your hands fast enough?" I'm going to have to translate this document for a week while you're away. Du Nannan thought he was praising him and smiled happily.

Shengli didn't speak, and after a long while, he said to the man in a serious voice: "Man, I know that you have just graduated, young man, I want to do more, do it faster, and behave well, I can understand, but you have to follow the rhythm of the overall situation." You handed it in so quickly, how passive you made the organizing committee, they don't even have a list of reporters now, you hand it over to them, they can't send it, it's useless. In the future, don't worry, understand? The man looked at the victory and nodded understandingly.

This week, the man translated only one such document.

Another week has begun. The man was still the first to come, and he was eager for some important work to show his strength, but no, some were more invitations to win the game. After nearly a month of contact, everyone has become familiar, and in addition to reading the newspaper every day, Shengli will secretly organize a game of cards. Because there is discipline in the station, it is not allowed to play cards and other leisure activities that violate discipline, but there are policies and countermeasures. Shengli, Sister Song and Uncle Lan will still play cards secretly, but there is a secret.

It's Friday, and it's a more relaxed day again. After eating at noon, Uncle Lan slept in the office, and Sister Song went home to finish eating, and came back around 2:30 in the afternoon, waking up Uncle Lan as well. As soon as Shengli saw it, he immediately proposed to everyone: "How many games?" Everyone exchanged glances and began to set up stalls. Victory probe went out to take a look, and several offices around the area were closed, and there was no one. He withdrew his head and closed the door. At this time, Uncle Lan, Sister Song and the man were already sitting less than 1 meter away from the door, with a square stool in the middle and a newspaper spread on it. The victorious shuffle and deal the cards skillfully, and the game begins.

Victory sits in the bank, the first card, two threes, gently placed on the stool, and clicked twice. Sister Song followed, two sixes, pressed on three. Uncle Lan looked at the cards and waved his hand, don't. The man looked at it, two tens, pressed on. Victory quickly pulled out two queens and gently pressed them on the ten, with a smug face. Shengli pointed at Sister Song, Sister Song shook her head, looked at Uncle Lan, Uncle Lan shook his head, and pointed at the man again, the man looked embarrassed, pulled out two twos, and put them on the stool. Victory frowned, quickly looked at his cards, took a breath, thought about it, waved his hand, and passed. The man just wanted to play the cards, and there was a faint sound of footsteps from far and near in the corridor, saying that it was too late and that was fast, and the victory pinched the four corners of the newspaper, pocketed it to the middle, and wrapped up everyone's cards and stuffed them into the drawer at hand. The other three quickly shoved the cards into their pockets and kicked the floor with their feet at the same time, and the chairs slid back to their seats with a thud. The whole process is back in office state from the hand to the office in a matter of seconds.

After a long while, the door was pushed open, and it was Zhang Jing, the secretary of the secretariat. Zhang Jing entered the room and took a look, and first spoke to Sister Song: "Sister Song, the city organized a development zone to unveil the new gymnasium on the weekend, and the station asked someone from the external propaganda center to accompany the reporter, which of you will go?" ”

Sister Song immediately replied: "Xiao Zhang, I definitely won't be able to go, my son has been with a low-grade fever, I've been busy these days, so I don't care about it, I must go to the emergency department on the weekend." After speaking, he lowered his head and began to organize the papers on the table.

Zhang Jing didn't speak, and silently turned her head to look at Uncle Lan.

Uncle Lan didn't speak, took out the medicine bottle on the table, poured out two pills and stuffed them in his mouth, picked up the cup and swallowed it with his neck, and then pressed his right hand against his stomach, showing a painful expression on his face.

Before Zhang Jing could look elsewhere, Shengli suddenly shouted: "It's broken, it's broken, just now Director Jiang asked me to help receive the documentary crew at 2:30, I forgot it." With that, he grabbed his notebook and ran out.

Du Nannan looked around, stood up and said to Zhang Jing, "Sister Zhang, do you want me to do it?" ”

Zhang Jing was not very familiar with the man, she looked at the man and said, "Okay, then you can gather at the entrance of the new gymnasium in the development zone at 10 o'clock in the morning on Saturday." ”

"Okay!" Zhang Jing smiled at the man, turned her head and went out.

Zhang Jing walked on the front foot, and Sister Song raised her head, breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to Uncle Lan: "You said that why don't they unveil it during working hours, and they always hold activities on weekends, who can stand this?" ”

Uncle Lan also returned to normal, leaned back in the chair and said, "It's not that I don't go, it's so far, and I don't send a car, I really can't stand it at my age on this hot day." After speaking, he subconsciously looked at Du Nannan, and said with a smile, "It's good to be young, I really envy you young people." ”

Du Nannan smiled and didn't say anything more.

After work, Du Nannan was the last to walk out of the office, locked the door, and looked at the already empty corridor, the crisp sound of leather shoes echoed in the building, and a sense of loss arose.

"Man, what's wrong with you, feeling worried?" Jiajia asked while cooking while looking at the man.

The man was choosing vegetables, he stopped what he was doing, sighed and said, "Jiajia, I don't want to do it anymore?" ”

"Huh?" Jiajia was startled, wiped her hands and squatted next to the man and asked, "What's wrong?" What's going on? ”

The man bit his lip, "I feel too aggrieved, I feel like I'm messing around all day now, which is completely different from what I imagined to be working at a TV station." ”

Jiajia held the man's leg, pondered for a moment and said: "Man, don't worry, take a look, it's almost the New Year, we'll discuss it after the New Year, think about it, let's resign together." ”

"Oh?" The man raised his head and looked at Jiajia and asked, "You want to quit too?" You're not having a good time at work, are you? ”

Jiajia stood up, walked to the gas stove, continued to cook, and said softly: "Ahem, where is it so easy to earn money to eat." ”
