Chapter 7 The distance from the fire pit to the mud pit
Early in the morning, Gu Jiayin was woken up by a baby's cry that resounded in the sky.
She writhed uneasily a few times, and a pair of large, warm hands touched her ears and covered her ears, blocking out the noise outside and quieting her world.
Well, hands...... Whose hands?
Gu Jiayin reacted in a daze for a long time before she suddenly opened her eyes, and what was facing her was a sturdy chest exuding a warm aura. If you look up, you can see the delicate collarbones and looming pectoral muscles, as well as the smooth line of the chin that looks like a polished one.
What she is familiar with is Lu Jingxiu's body.
Gu Jiayin's heart felt a pantothenic acid, remembering that she was afraid of thunder before, every time she heard thunder at night, Lu Jingxiu was still asleep, but she would subconsciously find her, pull her into her arms, and then put her hand on her ear.
What once made her feel sweet was now stuck in her heart like a needle.
If Lu Jingxiu loves her, why would he go to that kind of indecent place to drink, and bring a man home to entangle? If he doesn't love her, then what are these pets that permeate the minutiae of life?
Gu Jiayin also really felt it, how sweet the memories are, how painful the reality is.
Gu Jiayin pushed Lu Jingxiu away, turned over and got out of bed. She walked into the bathroom and slapped her face with cold water to sober herself up and not to indulge in the illusion of nothingness.
Lu Jingxiu, who was still a little angry about getting up, sat on the bed alone and rubbed his hair indiscriminately.
At the breakfast time of the Lu family, the people are quite complete. Except for Lu Jin, who didn't go to work, everyone else came down early to eat.
After breakfast, Gu Jiayin was going to work.
Lu Jingxiu took her hand and said affectionately, "I'll send you." ”
Gu Jiayin felt a chill and subconsciously refused, "No need." ”
Lu Jingxiu raised his eyebrows slightly, but there was a hint of threat in his gentle smile, which made people feel oppressive, "Huh? Is it really not necessary? ”
Gu Jiayin reacted at this time, she shouldn't refuse Lu Jingxiu, they should be a glue-like newlywed couple now.
So she immediately grabbed Lu Jingxiu's arm, "The company is a little far away, I'm afraid you'll be late." ”
Lu Jingxiu patted her head with a doting look and replied in a low voice, "No." ”
Gu Jiayin said coquettishly, "You have to pick me up after work that night!" ”
Lu Jingxiu still looked like a gentle tired man, "Of course." ”
Sun Zeyang, who was sitting opposite the two of them, trembled all over his body and teased, "Single dogs really can't stay in this house, and they will be killed by dog food." Second brother and sister-in-law, please give me a way to live. ”
The words made everyone laugh, Gu Jiayin blinked, and with the pure and well-behaved appearance of a little daughter-in-law, she followed Lu Jingxiu out of the door.
Along the way, Gu Jiayin looked at the scenery outside expressionlessly, and had no intention of talking to Lu Jingxiu. Lu Jingxiu looked at her several times and wanted to say something, but seeing that she was not interested, he finally gave up.
When she arrived at the company, Gu Jiayin couldn't wait to get out of the car, and disappeared from Lu Jingxiu's sight. Lu Jingxiu looked at her back, which was faster than a rabbit, shook his head helplessly, and sighed.
Gu Jiayin came to the company and first went to the editor-in-chief's office to report.
Editor-in-chief Fang Tan is a woman who is nearly forty years old, gentle and capable, Gu Jiayin's idol and her goal. She hopes that she can become such a person in the future, with a warm personality like water, not surprised by changes, vigorous and resolute work, and smart skills.
Because Gu Jiayin's Times News takes the high-end route, it attaches importance to the development of news sections such as finance and real estate, while the social and entertainment sections are not very important. Fang Tan was afraid that Gu Jiayin would be transferred from finance to society, and there would be a gap in her heart, so she did a lot of psychological construction for her.
Finally, he assured her, "Your abilities are recognized by the whole company, but there is no suitable position right now." You go to the social version first, and after a while, I will definitely transfer you back. ”
Gu Jiayin is at peace with what she encounters, in fact, she has already done enough in finance, the pace of work is fast, and her spirit is highly stressed. The people who come into contact with them are all predators in the business world, who are low and small, flattering, and dog-legged people don't look like doing news.
Gu Jiayin responded in a full state of spirit, "Sister Fang, don't worry, no matter which version it is, I will do a good job." ”
Gu Jiayin came out of the editor-in-chief's office and went to the Social News Department. As soon as she entered the door, she was shocked by the scene in front of her.
The office is small, with a dozen desks crammed together, less than half the size of the finance department. Newspapers, magazines, and books are piled up everywhere, like a warehouse, and how can there be a spacious, bright and tall financial side.
Well, there is indeed a feeling of falling from heaven to hell.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, a girl wearing glasses and instant noodles ran over from behind the pile of books, standing in front of Gu Jiayin with a little crampedness, "Hello Editor-in-Chief Gu!" I'm Xue Lu, the assistant editor-in-chief of the social news section! Thank you for your continued care! ”
Although Xue Lu was a little nervous, she was still full of vitality, and Gu Jiayin liked it very much.
She glanced around the office to see the two of them in the room, and asked, "What about the others?" ”
Xue Lu was nervous again, afraid that Gu Jiayin would misunderstand that everyone didn't pay attention to her, so she quickly explained, "There was a traffic accident on the Jinhua Expressway, thirteen cars collided in a row, and they all went out to run the news. ”
Gu Jiayin nodded, "Where is my office?" ”
"Over here!"
Xue Lu diligently led the way for Gu Jiayin, and Gu Jiayin was hit again after seeing the editor-in-chief's office, not even one-third of her original office.
But fortunately, although the sparrows are small, they are well cleaned and cleaned. There is also a small pot of green plants on the desk, and when the curtains are opened, the sunlight outside pours in, which is very lively.
It's much better than the cold metallic feel on the finance side...... Well, she can only comfort herself like this.
Next, Gu Jiayin quickly put into work and asked Xue Lu to bring her the news topic to be released the next day.
What is the title that catches your eye is "Moral Degradation! The old lady took her children and grandchildren to do a paternity test, and the father and son turned out to be brothers", "The boy broke into the girls' dormitory at night, just to seek excitement? ", "A 31-year-old man pretended to be a wealthy businessman and fell in love with a woman to cheat money, defrauding many people with an amount of more than one million", and some small advertisements for treating nail fungus and eye bags, Lei's Gu Jiayin was embarrassed.
Xue Lu saw the sluggishness between Gu Jiayin's eyebrows, pursed her lips and said, "That's it for the social version, it's all trivial gossip, not as lofty as finance." ”
Gu Jiayin's mood quickly calmed down, "No, the social version is closer to people's livelihood and has a wide audience, so it should be more important." ”
Xue Lu pursed her lips, although she also thought so, "But our company is determined to take the high-end route, and even the entertainment version has a higher status than the social version." Let's take advertising as an example, it seems that the financial side is all luxury cars, real estate and the like. ”
Gu Jiayin said, "It is normal to use different marketing strategies for different people. ”
While the two were talking, the phone outside rang, and Xue Lu quickly turned around and went out.
After a while, she ran in again, with some eagerness on her face, "Editor-in-chief, there has been a medical disturbance in the Third People's Hospital, I want to go over and take a look." ”
Gu Jiayin nodded in agreement, "Go ahead." ”
Xue Lu took out another list and said to her, "Editor-in-chief, this needs your signature." ”
Gu Jiayin took it and took a look, it was a taxi application, and she said strangely, "Doesn't the company have a car?" ”
Xue Lu nodded helplessly, "The company's car distribution is limited, and they are all used by other departments, and we usually go out to run the news by ourselves." In addition, the amount of fare reimbursement is limited, and you can't always take a taxi...... Therefore, an application is required. ”
Gu Jiayin took a deep breath, she never had to pay attention to these trivial matters in finance and economics before, she just needed to focus on doing news, because the company would solve all the logistics affairs. I didn't expect to come to the social version that was not taken seriously, and even travel was a problem.
It turned out that the difficulties that Fang Tan said when she did psychological construction for her were not polite, they were really difficult. She really escaped from the fire pit and entered the mud pit again.
However, by the time this application process has turned around the leaders, the news may have long since become old news.
It happened that Gu Jiayin's car was parked in the company's underground garage, and she got up and said to Xue Lu, "It's okay, I'll drive you there." ”
Xue Lu almost jumped up excitedly, "Thank you, editor-in-chief!" ”
Xue Lu sat in Gu Jiayin's spacious BMW and said enviously, "Editor-in-chief, you are so good, you can buy your own car." I've been working for two years, and I'm still a moonshine clan. ”
Gu Jiayin smiled, embarrassed to say that she didn't buy this car herself, but Lu Jingxiu gave it to her. This car has been around for some years, and when Lu Jingxiu gave her the car, she was also poor.
At that time, they had just graduated, and in order to hone Lu Jingxiu, Mrs. Lu let him enter Shenghui and start from the bottom, and also cut off his living expenses, and his monthly salary was pitiful.
The young master of the dignified Lu family is so poor that he squeezes the bus every day and eats instant noodles all the time, and it is estimated that no one will believe him when he says it.
At that time, Gu Jiayin was not much better. When she discovered Shen Fanghua's true face, she made a lot of noise to get Gu Fengdong to divorce her.
Gu Fengdong said a few heavy words to her for the first time in her life, and she moved out of the house in a fit of anger and became independent. is obviously poor to death, but for the sake of face, she refuses to accept the pocket money given to her by Gu Fengdong.
So in order to save money, the two of them rented a house in the suburbs together, far away from where they worked.
Gu Jiayin is a rookie who runs around every day until she breaks her leg, and Lu Jingxiu is very distressed. So after he negotiated a big deal, and Mrs. Lu rewarded him with a big red envelope, as soon as he got the money, he directly used it all up and gave Gu Jiayin a car.
Gu Jiayin felt that this car was of great significance, so although Lu Jingxiu said many times that he would change it for her, she was not willing to give it to her.
"Hey, what's going on up front?"
I was about to arrive at the hospital, but the road in front of me suddenly became congested, and there were many people gathered around, and the water was impassable.
Gu Jiayin and Xue Lu glanced at each other, immediately activated their professional instincts, parked the car on the side of the road, and the two of them ran over together to check the situation.
