The cow is blown out, but whether I can enter the newspaper office, I don't know at all.

According to Editor Qin's estimate, there should be no problem, but after all, it is not the newspaper where Editor Qin works, and she is only providing information, and she can't help anything else.

The name of the newspaper is "Star", and the office of the newspaper is on the second floor of the Provincial Writers' Association.

When I entered, there was only one person in the office.

The man, in his thirties, has neatly combed hair, and at first glance he is the more elaborate kind. The people were also very kind, and when they saw me knocking on the door, they politely got up to greet me and poured me a glass of water.

When he learned that I was looking to apply for a journalist job, he happily said, "Welcome, welcome!" My name is Zheng Yi and I am an assistant to our editor-in-chief. ”

I said, "I heard that our newspaper needs to hire reporters, so I'll give it a try." ”

He said: "Yes, we are open recruitment, anyone can come, as long as they can do the job." ”

I said, "I've written a few articles before, but I don't know if I'm up to the job here." ”

He asked me, "Have you written articles published before?" ”

I replied truthfully: "I haven't published it before, but I have recently published several columns in Guangzhou Youth Daily. ”

He said: "That's good, Guangzhou Youth Daily is not far from us on Beijing Road, I know it well, and being able to publish a column there shows that your writing skills are still very good." How many have you posted? ”

I said, "It's been two months, four articles a month, and I've already sent eight articles." ”

He said: "Is it a fixed column? What is the name of the column? ”

I said, "New Hakka." ”

He said: "New Hakka, this column has a good name. He pondered for a moment and said, "I think I've read this column lately, and I feel pretty good." It turned out that you wrote it, not bad, not bad. What university did you graduate from? What is your major? ”

When I asked this, I didn't think I dared to lie, so I just said, "I didn't go to college, and I didn't have any majors, but I could write some articles." ”

"It's good to be able to write articles, but when we recruit editors and reporters, we must at least have graduates of the university journalism department, and if you haven't gone to college, it may be difficult to become a reporter or editor."

Hearing him say this, I felt that there was a chance that I would not be able to apply for the job, so I got up and planned to leave.

I said, "Then I'm sorry to bother." ”

However, just as I was about to leave, he suddenly stopped me and said, "Otherwise, our newspaper is in dire need of a hard-working publisher, or you should try." ”

I said, "I'm looking for a job as a journalist." ”

He said: "Everything has a process, and it is impossible to do it in one step." You start with publishing, and after working for a while, if we think you can be a competent editor and reporter, we can change it back then. ”

I asked him, "What does the distribution mainly do?" ”

"The main thing is to sell our newspapers," he said. At present, the people who do this work are part-time and too busy in other departments of our Writers' Association. If you do it, the distribution department will be handed over to you, what's up? Think about it. ”

I thought about it, anyway, I've already blown the bull out, although I can't really become a reporter, it's okay to do publishing, at least I work in a newspaper, and I can explain it to Director Zhao and Yan Xiaoguang. Besides, they don't know the difference between a publisher and a reporter, they all work in a newspaper anyway, and no one will doubt it if they say they are reporters! What's more, I can write articles, and when I get acquainted with everyone in the future, maybe I will really become a journalist that day.

I said, "I can try." ”

He said: "At a glance, I know that you are a sincere person, and I believe that you can do a good job!" So when can you come to work? ”

I said, "Anytime, the sooner the better." ”

He said: "Okay, then you can come to work tomorrow, and the specific salary standard and work arrangement will be signed when you go to work tomorrow." You can take a few copies of our newspaper and go back and read it, maybe you can be inspired, you can also write an article, as long as you can get published, there will be a manuscript fee. As he spoke, he took me a few newspapers.

Walking out of the gate of the Provincial Writers Association, I wanted to tell Director Zhao and He Yan Xiaoguang the news, but after thinking about it, let's wait until I officially go to work.

I left the company and lost my job, but I quickly found another job, and I felt much better, so I had to find someone to share it with.

I suddenly remembered that I hadn't been to Brother Cao's stinky tofu shop for some days because I was too upset recently, and it was time to go to him.

So, I went straight to Brother Cao.

When Brother Cao and his sister-in-law heard that I had joined the newspaper to work, they were very happy.

Brother Cao immediately instructed his sister-in-law: "Go quickly, go to the deli shop opposite to get some ears and pig hearts, and buy a bottle of good wine back, while the business is not busy at this time, I will have a few drinks with Brother Da!" I'll get busy later, but I won't be able to take care of it. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away!" The sister-in-law was also very happy and went out happily.

Brother Cao said: "I'll just say, you are at the level of a brother, that's not ordinary, no, you really entered the newspaper as a big reporter, this is the work of a master!" ”

I said, "Not really, it's all work." What's the business doing lately? ”

"Well, more and more people are coming to eat, and sometimes they can't get busy. Just the college student girl who helped me deliver food can earn almost 100 yuan a day, think about my business? ”

I said, "Is that college girl still running errands for you?" ”

"Yes, not only usually, but almost all day on Sundays and Saturdays, this girl has a heart, knows how to make money to support herself, and is a good girl!"

Soon, my sister-in-law came back and put the steaming and fragrant braised vegetables in front of us.

Brother Cao was busy unscrewing the wine bottle and pouring the wine, saying, "Come on, let's celebrate for you, congratulations on becoming a big reporter!" Then he turned around and said to his sister-in-law, get a few more pieces of stinky tofu, Brother Da has a good bite."

I said, "Yes, yes, I came to Brother Cao, just to eat your stinky tofu!" ”

"Tube full! Let's have a drink first! "Brother Cao picked up the cup and clinked glasses with me.

Brother Cao said: "A few days ago, a woman from your company asked for ten pieces of stinky tofu. She said, you have been squeezed out of the company, and your sister-in-law and I are still worrying about you. What can I do if I suddenly lose my job? ”

"Female? Say I'm being squeezed out of the company? Look at me jokes? ”

"Yes, that's what she said."

I suddenly thought, could it be Ah Fen? I was squeezed out of the company and she was watching my jokes?

"What does that woman look like?" I asked.

"People are very beautiful and temperamental."

Hearing this, I was relieved. is beautiful and has a lot of temperament, which must have nothing to do with Ah Fen.

"She said it, it seems to be called Ou, I forgot, but listening to that tone, it doesn't look like you're laughing, but she's crying out for you, and it seems to care about you." Brother Cao said.

I suddenly remembered that it was Ouyang Neon! She brought stinky tofu with her when she went to me the other day.

Thinking of Ouyang Neon, I suddenly felt guilty in my heart, and my mood suddenly became bad, and I didn't have a taste for wine after a few drinks.

I said, "Brother Cao, you're going to be busy soon, I won't drink anymore, and I have something to do, I have to go first." ”

Brother Cao said: "That's okay, let's drink it another day." Then he gave his sister-in-law a look.

My sister-in-law soon came over and stuffed an envelope into my pants pocket.

I said, "Brother Cao, what do you mean?" ”

Brother Cao said: "You suddenly have no job, you must be a little tight in hand, these two thousand yuan, you should take it first." ”

I said, "Brother Cao, I understand it, but I am not short of money, I really don't lack it!" ”

My sister-in-law said: "We have to take everything we don't need, this is a little bit of our heart!" ”

I said, "I got it, but I really don't need it!" I took the envelope out of my trouser pocket and placed it on the table, saying, "You're in a hurry to pull me again!" I'll come back to you when I need it. ”

I was afraid that they would pull again, so I hurriedly left the house.
