Chapter 1 Entry
Anne studied design and was hired for a job in the layout design of the local news center and local daily newspaper.
Unexpectedly, the first time she attended the company's regular meeting, she was mistakenly assigned to the position of editorial assistant. Theoretically, the change from designing dogs to masterminding dogs is a class elevation, but Anne was not surprised at all.
Here's the thing.
At the regular meeting, before the new employees were introduced, the editor-in-chief of the editorial department issued a surprise announcement.
"Steven, the editor of our Mystery Edition, who turned 60 last week, has submitted a retirement request to the company, which has been approved by the Human Resources Department. So, the mysterious edition of our newspaper needs a new editor. Is there anyone willing to take this position now? ”
Everyone in the audience looked at each other, and some even asked, "Does the mysterious version still exist?" "Such a question.
Naturally, there is a mysterious version, and Anne noticed it when she was doing her first typesetting job.
Although the layout is not large, there is enough content space to write a mysterious event that looks very fake.
Anne Yi has read several mysterious versions of articles, and the content is so fake that she can see through it at a glance, but she still reads it with relish.
Yes, it's such a place with no entertainment. All the people who come to this city for the first time will exclaim, "What a place this is!" ”。
As the so-called "largest city" on the northeast coast of Canada, it is only the size of a town in China.
There are only two streets in the whole city, but there are three universities, and it is a real college town, and 70% of the people in the city are either students or work for the school.
Yi Anne was forced by her grandfather to study in this city at the end of the earth, and she was desperate at first, but then she had to get used to it.
However, after getting used to it, in addition to being a little boring, the seascape of the city can still make up for the lack of boredom, and finally let Yi Annie, who graduated from college, stay in the city.
Let's go back to the cryptic section of the newspaper.
Although the Mystery Edition is not welcomed by other pages, the editor-in-chief clearly understands the importance of the Mystery Edition in attracting young readers, so this page has to be retained.
"Catherine, you do the divination version, and it has something to do with the mystery version, so I will leave the work of the mystery version to you." The editor-in-chief's gaze swept over the front row of editors, and then handed over the work of the mysterious edition to a dumpling-haired aunt in a gypsy-style scarf.
"Divination and mystery are not the same at all!" Catherine straightened her scarf and stood up and retorted, "Divination is a science! ”
"Hahaha, listen, Catherine actually said that divination is a science." Laughing loudly and taunting was a blonde young man in a suit and leather shoes, and Anne recognized him as Matthew, who was in charge of the financial version.
"Divination and mystery are deceptions, Catherine, and you should get to the bottom of it sooner. The news that you won a million in the lottery came to my page one day, and I will admit that it was science. The one who said this was Betty, one of the editors of the newsgroup, who wore a slim-fitting beige suit skirt and meticulous makeup, and was the countertop beauty of the newspaper.
Catherine was sullen for a while: "I can't give myself divination, it's common sense!" ”
"Can you let me win a million, then?" The person who spoke caressed his freshly made nails with disdain, and his bright red lips were full of temptation, it was Emily, the top reporter of the entertainment version, she and Betty, a pair of beauties, loved workplace bullying, especially for a few pages that never had any heat.
"Okay, okay, we're all talking about business, don't dwell on this issue yet." The one who spoke was Donald, the peacemaker of the newspaper, who was also an old man who was about to retire, and was in charge of the agricultural section.
Although the agricultural version is not as popular as the news and entertainment versions, as a province with a very developed agriculture and fishery, the person in charge of this section can be regarded as a good person.
Seeing the end of the war on the topic of divination, Joe, who was in charge of the technology section and managed the IT department of the newspaper, spoke:
"In the newly recruited employee information I entered before, I remember that there was an employee whose hobby was watching horror movies, so it was better to let him try to make a mysterious version of the content, and finally let Catherine check it. Catherine is also a veteran employee of the newspaper, and she is still very experienced in what can and cannot be put in the newspaper. ”
Joe seems to be a typical fat house, but he is also the head of the department on an equal footing with the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and what he says carries as much weight as his tonnage.
The editor-in-chief nodded: "That's a good idea, so who is that new employee who likes horror movies?" Stand up and introduce it yourself. ”
Yi Annie looked at the people around her, and after a while, she remembered that the person who filled in the hobby column with "watching horror movies" was herself.
How much does she love horror movies? She didn't know it herself. However, in a movie hobby group she joined, her friends called her the most receptive to horror movies.
What this means is that even domestic spicy chicken online movie-level horror movies, she will go to scan them when she is idle.
At this time, Joe also found out this information from the company's backend.
"Anne Yi, that sounds like an Asian name."
And apparently a feminine name.
There were four Asian faces in the audience, and after removing two men and excluding one old face who had been in the company for a few years, the rest was Anne Yi.
Yi Annie got up in the eyes of everyone with some trepidation: "Hello everyone, I am Annie Yi, I just graduated from the local art university this year, and I am very happy to work with you." ”
The editor-in-chief said "hello" on behalf of the crowd, and then began to make some basic questions: "You like horror movies, are you interested in mysterious events?" ”
Yi Annie nodded: "It's okay." ”
"Have you seen the mysterious edition of our newspaper?"
"I've seen the last two issues, one is the crop circle, and the other is the lights in the cemetery."
"Very well, that's you! After a while, I went to the Ministry of Human Resources to transfer and sign a contract. There's no comment from the design department, right? The editor-in-chief has the final word.
Although I politely asked the person in charge of the design department in the end, the design department, which has insufficient workload all year round and chats about the company's gossip every day, is definitely impossible to compete with the editorial department.
In this way, Anne became Catherine's editorial assistant and began to take charge of the weekly mystery section.
In fact, like the divination section, there is only one staff member in the entire mystery section.
In contrast, there are several editors, assistants, and reporters in the news, finance, entertainment, sports, agriculture, and science and technology sections, and the mystery and divination sections are really withered.
It's no wonder that he has been oppressed all year round, and no one wants to take over.
Although the position is more decent and the salary is much higher, Yi Annie has no idea where to start.
