17. Here comes the beauty of the mission
Today, the magazine has a special editor who heard that he was sent from the headquarters, and the editor-in-chief called him Mr. Murrow, who seems to be of mixed Chinese and French descent. Everyone was very curious and nervous about whose manuscript the special editor would be responsible for, but soon everyone's curiosity was satisfied, and the nervous mood could be relaxed - this Mr. Murrow was not only an editor, but also a good copywriter, he was only responsible for his own manuscript, and the headquarters sent him out only on a nominal business trip, in essence on vacation, writing when he was happy, recuperating when he was not happy, and that's it.
In fact, she didn't care much about any of this, because it didn't seem to have anything to do with her, but three days later, the editor-in-chief called her into the office and said that he would give her a "beauty job".
"Shi Sui, the editor-in-chief is looking for you." She went to the bathroom and came back and met Xu Hua, who was in charge of social news.
"Oh, good." She hurried to the editor-in-chief's office.
After knocking on the door, the editor-in-chief let her in, and she pushed the door open, and saw that in addition to the editor-in-chief, there was also the special editor in the office. Could it be that this editor will be in charge of my manuscript in the future? She thought worriedly, I don't know if the person can speak Chinese, she has never learned French, and she can't even speak English very well, how can she communicate? "Editor-in-chief, are you looking for me?"
"Sit down." The editor-in-chief simply gestured, "What happened some time ago scared you enough, right?" I would like to take this opportunity to give you a good time to relax. ”
"Huh?" Some time ago, she was involved in a homicide case and almost didn't become a victim, but after that, she didn't see the editor-in-chief give her a holiday, it's been half a month, why did she think of letting her relax? "Is Xiao Mo back?" Her colleague Xiao Mo suddenly came to contact, saying that he couldn't come back and couldn't deliver the manuscript for the time being, and asked her to write his serials for him temporarily.
"Xiao Mo said that his matter can't be solved for a while, so I have to ask you for this time." said the editor-in-chief.
"Then editor-in-chief, did you just say that I should relax......?"
"You go to France with Mr. Murrow to see the local castle hotel, firstly, to help Mr. Murrow take some pictures, and secondly, it can also be used as your column material, and you can also stay in the castle hotel for a few days, and you can rest as a day." The editor-in-chief said, "As for Xiao Mo's serialization, you can also send it back by email in France, and it doesn't affect it." ”
She nodded understandingly. Hell, what do you mean to put her at ease? It's clearly an increase in workload, right? Originally, she only had to be in charge of her own column, but now she not only has to help Xiao Mo catch up with the serialization, but also has to be an assistant to this special editor who can't speak half a word like a stone statue from beginning to end. "But I haven't been to France, and I don't speak French." Do you want her to go to France and be mute?
"Rest assured, Mr. Murrow is fluent in French." The editor-in-chief smiled, "I remember you said your passport hasn't expired, right?" ”
It means that when she arrives in France, she can only rely on this statue as an interpreter, and she can only speak to this statue - if the stone statue can also speak. She glanced at Murrow, then at the editor-in-chief. Alas, forget it, life, you have to experience all kinds of things, not to mention that this time you can go abroad for free, and live in a castle hotel that is so expensive that you can be regarded as earned, at least the stone statue will not be instigated, and it will be suspicious. "When are you leaving?" I have to get a visa.
"I'll leave as soon as I get my visa." said the editor-in-chief.
In such a hurry? She muttered to herself, and Murrow stood up and said, "If it's her to decide, I'll go out and prepare first." With that, he walked out of the editor-in-chief's office, and from the time she came in to the time he went out, the Mr. Murrow did not even glance at her.
Seeing Murrow go out, the editor-in-chief let out a long breath, "I really don't know how the headquarters arranged for such a Buddha to come over." ”
"The man looked quite cold, although he was very handsome." It seems that no other colleague has spoken to him, and even when he greets him, all he gets is a cold nod without the slightest smile.
The editor-in-chief waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't worry about so much, the people in this headquarters are not something we can manage." ”
She could only nod her head. She opened the door and walked out, returning to her seat to find Murrow standing at her desk. "Mr. Murrow, is there something wrong?" Half-breeds are usually pretty, and this Mr. Murrow is no exception, with deep and impressive delicate features, a tall figure, and honestly, he doesn't look like a person who needs to run for a living, and his temperament exudes more like a European aristocrat - well, he does have European blood, maybe one of the ancestors of the family is a lord.
"You know Xiao Mo very well?" Murrow asked.
Xiao Mo again? "It's okay."
"Tell me his contact information." Murrow said, his tone was flat, but there was a sense of superiority.
"Didn't you ask the editor-in-chief?"
"That phone call doesn't work."
Oh, I see. "But that's all I know." She wasn't lying.
"How does he usually contact you?" Murrow's interrogating tone reminded her of Meng Fan's demeanor when he interrogated the suspect.
"He called me." She shrugged.
"How many calls?" Murrow didn't pause, then asked.
"It's a public phone, I can check the caller ID record for you if you need to." It is expected that the other party will not need such useless information.
Sure enough, Murrow raised his hand in a gesture that didn't have to. "If he contacts you, make sure you let me answer the phone."
"Why?" To be precise, she was wondering why so many people were looking for Xiao Mo. First of all, Xuanyuan Su - didn't Xiao Mo have any important information to hand over to Xuanyuan Su? I don't know if he handed it over. Now there is another Mr. Murrow.
"There are some things you should not ask." Murrow finished proudly, and left without waiting for her to react.
The colleague next to him sighed twice, "Heh! The people sent by this headquarters are really horizontal enough. ”
Horizontal enough? She thought it was strange enough. Why does everyone look for Xiao Mo? That guy looks like an ordinary person, and he can turn the sky upside down when he makes trouble? When he comes back, she must ask, what powerful information does he have in his hands that makes so many people look for him?
At this time, her landline rang, "Hey? ”
"Spike, it's me." The call was from Xiao Mo!
"Didn't you say you wanted to come back? Why is there no trace of it now? She began to complain.
"There's an accident, I'm going to have to stay here for two more weeks." Xiao Mo said.
"Which side is 'this side'?" She asked.
"It's nothing, I'll leave it to you for the two weeks' draft." Xiao Mo's tone was a little more tired.
"Are you alright?" She was a little worried.
"Well, it doesn't matter anymore." Xiao Mo replied, "Contact again." After speaking, she hung up the phone without waiting for her to react.
What the? Why are you all nervous during this time?
