Chapter 2: The Secret Commissioner
After the regular meeting, I went to the human resources department to sign a new contract, and Yi Annie went to the design department to collect her few personal belongings, which were actually just a cup, a notebook, and some snacks.
Although she has only been in the company for three weeks, due to the fact that the design department does not work and gossip, Yi Annie has developed a deep friendship with everyone in the department, and reluctantly said goodbye to everyone in the department, distributed all the high-end snacks brought from China, and went to the editorial department with a notebook and a cup.
Charlie, the editor-in-chief, led Anne to the seat of former Mystery Edition editor Steven, in the corner of the editorial office, not by the window, and the light was not very good, which was very suitable for the style of the Mystery Edition.
The editor-in-chief looked around and discovered an embarrassing fact โ Catherine's seat was at the other end of the newsroom's workplace.
Obviously, the ostracized divination and mystery versions should be squeezed into a corner.
"Catherine's seat is over there." Editor-in-chief Charlie pointed to a seat in a far other corner and said to Anne, "If you have any questions, you can ask her." This week's mysterious edition of the article is ready, and you are familiar with the content of the next week. โ
After the editor-in-chief helped to complete the handover and left, Yi Annie first breathed a sigh of relief, and looked around, several seats near her were empty, probably from the sports version.
Several staff members of the sports edition did not show up at the regular meeting today, and the weather has been getting better and better recently, and various sports events in the city have begun, and there are always not enough people in the sports edition, and even a few people who often sit in the office have to go out to make guest appearances as reporters.
Seem...... At least...... Temporarily...... There is no need to deal with nearby colleagues.
Anne Yi breathed a sigh of relief again, turned on the computer with the password left by the editor-in-chief, and checked the recent emails, which were basically some mysterious incidents sent by some locals to the news center, and then the news department forwarded these emails to the mailbox of the secret version.
In addition, the desktop is neatly organized, and several heavy folders are stacked next to the computer, marked "archived", "read", "unread", etc., which seem to be some mysterious reports.
Open the "unread" folder, there are subdivisions in it, what "horror", "ghosts", "aliens", "unsolved cases" and so on.
After flipping through it slightly, Anne didn't know what to do anymore.
After all, she didn't learn anything about journalism at all, let alone ask her to write a mysterious report in English, which was too difficult!
Now that I don't have a clue, I can't seem to ask Catherine about it.
Yi Annie turned her head to look in Catherine's direction, if she passed, she would have to go through the entire editorial office, and she would pass all the staff members along the way, remembering the scene of the regular meeting in the morning, Yi Annie was a little reluctant to go.
"Bell bell bellโ"
The phone on the desk rang suddenly.
Yi Annie didn't react for a while, and waited for the bell to ring three times before finally picking up the phone.
"Uh, hello, this is the design department...... Uh, no, the Mystery Edition...... Hello, I'm Anne. Anne Anne clearly hasn't recovered from her work in the design department.
"Hello, this is Rosie at the front desk, you're the new one from the Mysteries. There is an appointment for your page today, and now that the other party has arrived, please come down and pick it up. โ
Yi Annie was stunned, she didn't know anything......
After a quick search in the computer, it seems that there is really this appointment, the content is to do an interview on the secret, and the other party is a mystery specialist.
Secret Commissioner, what's that? Confused, Anne thought about it, and asked Rosie at the front desk to greet someone first, and with the "unread" folder, she trotted through the editorial office and came to Catherine in the divination version.
Catherine, who had no computer on her desk, was fiddling with tarot cards on her empty desk, turning over a card and drawing patterns on a whiteboard that Anne couldn't read.
"Uh, Catherine?" Theoretically, Anne knew that it was best not to disturb others when they were doing things, but she was in a hurry at this time, so it was still necessary to interrupt, "Steven seems to have made an appointment with a secret specialist, can you go over with me to do this secret interview?" โ
Catherine's hand flicked on the table, and a row of tarot cards was put away, she looked up and looked at Yi Annie with some confusion: "You can go by yourself......"
"But......" Ian Anne was about to say something, but was interrupted by Catherine.
"I just made a divination for you, you can do it, go ahead."
Catherine's voice was a little ethereal, and when it entered Eaanne's head, it seemed to use a feather to pluck one of Eaanne's nerves.
So Yi Annie seemed to be determined, tightened the "unread" folder in her hand, and went downstairs to the reception desk of the press center.
There was only one person waiting there at the reception, and Anne guessed that it should be the secret specialist who had made an appointment, she looked at the names of the people copied in her palms, walked over and asked, "Is it Mr. Inferno, please?" โ
"Inferno" is really a very old-school name, and when she saw this name, Iannie thought of an English, old-school gentleman.
Seeing the front of this person, Yi Annie instantly blushed a little and her heart jumped, the person who came was much younger than she imagined, in a suit and leather shoes, the three-dimensional facial features of Westerners were as handsome as knives, and although her face was a little sickly pale, she always revealed a noble and elegant ascetic temperament. Although he has thick blonde hair, with this name, Iannie still guesses that he is probably some nobleman from the British Empire who lived here.
Canada has always been a British territory, and even now in the 21st century, there is still a private park in the city that belongs to the Queen. As a result, there are some British who like to settle here, but not in the city, but in a sea-view estate outside the city.
But thinking that the person who came was the "secret commissioner", this match was a bit subtle.
"Yes, hello, Mr. Steven...... please?" When Ferno stood up, Anne realized that the man was two heads taller than her, and when she stood too close, her head was still a little sore, and the smell of cologne on the other party's body also invaded.
Quietly taking two steps back, Yi Annie stretched out her right hand: "Hello, I'm Annie Yi, Steven retired last week, and I'm the new assistant editor of the Mystery Edition." โ
Inferno nodded clearly, reached out and shook Yianne: "It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Inferno, just call me Fer." โ
After saying hello, Anne didn't know what to do.
At this time, Rosie brought a cup of coffee and handed it to Inferno: "Hello sir, this is the coffee we just brewed." โ
Yi Annie glanced at it, this mellow taste, just the right milk foam, it was definitely not the kind of disposable coffee that the reception desk usually used for receptionists, it was obviously the private coffee of some employees in the office lounge.
Anne instantly understood that handsome guys are popular, especially in companies with female receptionists.
"Rosie, may I ask if Steven has a meeting room?" Anne asked.
"No, but there is a small meeting room that is vacant, and I can arrange it for you." Rosie replied.
