Early in the morning, I rushed to the Provincial Writers' Association, and the security guard at the gate told me that it was only eight o'clock, and there was still an hour before the start of work.

I just wandered around, just to get acquainted with the environment.

When it was almost nine o'clock, I rushed back to the gate of the Provincial Writers' Association, and I saw Zheng Yi, who had recruited me, walking over slowly, and when he saw me, he said, "It's so punctual!" ”

I said, "I've been here for an hour, and I've been walking around." ”

He said, "With your work attitude, you can definitely do a good job!" ”

Back in the office, Zheng Yi took out a contract and said, "You take a look first, and if you have no opinion, sign it." ”

I took the application contract and read it carefully, focusing on the scope of work and treatment.

Zheng Yi explained: "The basic salary is not high, although it is only 750 yuan, but our work is quantitative. The newspaper was newly launched, and now it is in its tenth issue, with a print run of 2,000 copies. If you take over and complete the distribution task and recover the distribution money for each issue, according to the reward of one dime per newspaper, you can get an extra income of two hundred yuan a week, and that four weeks is eight hundred yuan, plus the basic salary of seven hundred and five, that is more than 1,500 yuan. And, in the future, the number of newspaper prints may increase, and you will have more circulation. The income will be higher. ”

I said, "My purpose is to be a journalist." ”

Zheng Yi said: "You came to Nanyue from the north to work, aren't you for money, right?" The purpose of being a journalist is to make money, and the purpose of publishing is also to make money. If you make more money in publishing than you do as a journalist, why do you want to be a journalist? ”

I said, "I want to be a journalist, mainly for dignity, or rather, for face." ”

Zheng Yi said: "You are mistaken, in our place, those who engage in distribution have more face than editors and reporters. The salary of editors and reporters is dead, distribution, that is the main department, the newspaper attaches great importance to circulation, the income is alive, do a good job, the income is more than the editor-reporter, and it will be valued by the newspaper, this is really face-saving. ”

When he said that, I think it makes sense. Although I still have my eyes on the position of a reporter, I think I might as well start with publishing, at least to pave the way for becoming a reporter in the future!

Zheng Yi said: "If there is no problem, just sign it." Then I'll call the guy who used to be a part-time distributor and you guys will hand it over. ”

I weighed it and decided it was okay, so I signed the contract.

Zheng Yi got up and went out, and after a while, he came back and brought a female comrade.

After a brief self-introduction, I learned that this female comrade was the publisher of the "Girls and Boys" magazine next door, because everyone was under the Provincial Writers' Association, considering that the "Star" was a new publication, I did a favor, so I worked part-time for the distribution of the "Star", but I was really too busy.

After her introduction, I got a general idea of the issue of The Star.

Every Monday, the newspaper is published in a formation of more than 20 newsstands in the vicinity of several streets, each newsstand is about a few dozen copies or three or two hundred copies, the newspaper is delivered as soon as it is published, the weekend goes to check the situation, and settles, and the second week sends new newspapers, and collects the newspapers that have not yet been sold......

She said: "It's easy to say, just a few newsstands, twenty-two in all, all nearby, not far, and all fixed, and the means of transportation is a bicycle. She handed me a bicycle key and said, "You can ride this bike to deliver newspapers, collect money, and get back the unsold newspapers." The difficulty lies in the fact that it is more trivial, it takes more time to stare at it, and it takes more time to use one's brain to increase the enthusiasm of the newsstand to sell newspapers. ”

She said: "If you are full-time, you should spend more time and do a good job, and the income is still not bad." ”

Hearing this, I also gained confidence and decided to work hard to do well.

After the handover of the lesbians, Zheng Yi took me to meet the rest of the newspaper.

First, I went to a small house on the corner of the first floor, Zheng Yi said, this is the storage point of the newspaper, every time the newspaper is printed, it is stored here.

He said: "The print run of each issue is 2,000, and your task is to send the newspaper to the editorial office of our newspaper as soon as possible, there are two places in total, one is on the second floor, there are three editors, and you send 50 copies. One is the ninth floor, where the editor-in-chief's office is located, with the editor-in-chief, the deputy editor-in-chief and two editors, who are American editors, and 50 copies are also sent, and 100 copies of the newspaper are handed over to the doorman, which is for the leaders and comrades within the writers' association to communicate and read. The rest was distributed according to the address of the respective newsstand. ”

After the introduction, Zheng Yi took me to the ninth floor again.

At that time, the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief were not there, and only two American editors were working.

One wears glasses, the other doesn't, and both are beautiful women.

Zheng Yi introduced: "This beauties with glasses are Xiao Zuo, Zuo Chen, and this beauties without glasses are Xiao Li and Li Xiu, both of whom are beauties, and they are the editors of our newspaper." Then he turned to them and introduced me to me, "This is Da Long, our new director of the distribution department, who will be in charge of the distribution of our newspaper in the future, you have to cooperate well!" ”

Out of the editor-in-chief's office, Zheng Yi said: "The three editors on the second floor should also come to work, go down and get to know each other." ”

I asked him, "Didn't you say that I should be the publisher?" Why do you say I'm the director of the distribution department? ”

Zheng Yi smiled and said: "Distribution is an independent department, just you, it's okay to say that you are the distributor, or to say that you are the director of the distribution department, anyway, it's all you." Externally, saying that you are the director is beneficial to your work! ”

I asked him, "Then if I go out to work, will the newspaper give me a work permit?" ”

Zheng Yi said: "Of course, when you go out to work, you are representing our newspaper, how can you do it without a work permit?" Moreover, we will also indicate on your work card that you are a reporter, and the specific position will be written as a director. ”

Hearing him say that, I was happy.

With a work card, it clearly says that I am a reporter, and I am also a director-level reporter, then I am majestic!

When I got to the second floor, there were three editors, one man and two women, working.

Zheng Yi said: "Come, let me introduce you to each other, this is the newly recruited publisher of our newspaper, and also the director of the distribution department, Mr. Dalong. ”

The three editors got up to greet me.

The first female editor is a chubby, round-faced girl, and she knows from her temperament that she is a college student who has just graduated.

Zheng Yi said: "This is Ouyang Liu, a talented woman from the Department of Journalism of Jida University, and the chief editor and reporter of our newspaper. ”

The girl known as Ouyang Liu nodded slightly and said, "Welcome, please take care of me!" ”

I'm still playing drums in my heart, why did I meet a girl with the surname Ouyang again?

Zheng Yi pointed to another small and delicate female editor wearing glasses and said, "This is Xie Yan, the chief editor and reporter of our newspaper. ”

The girl known as Xie Yan nodded shyly and said, "Welcome, please take care of me!" ”

The boy next to him, who was also wearing glasses, introduced himself and said, "I don't have to trouble Mr. Zheng to introduce it." My name is Chen Jian, and like them, I am also the chief editor and reporter of our newspaper. Please give me more advice! ”

I'm wondering, how can this newspaper be the chief editor and reporter? Why don't you have a second seat? If I work hard, I can at least become a sub-editor and reporter a little lower than them in the future, right?

Just thinking about it, Zheng Yi spoke: "I've already known everyone, so you can start working." The new issue of the newspaper will come out the day after tomorrow, and the task of circulation is still very heavy, so you have to familiarize yourself with it as soon as possible. Your main job is in the corner room on the first floor where the newspapers are stored, and of course, you can come to this office whenever you have time, including the editor-in-chief's office on the ninth floor. As for the circulation of the newspaper, you have to report to me at any time, and I have to report it to the editor-in-chief, and if the circulation is good, we will always consider increasing the number of prints. ”

With the key Zheng Yi handed me, I went downstairs and opened the small room where the newspaper was stored around the corner.

Although the room is not big, and there is not even a desk, it is my independent world, and it is the office where I enter the newspaper office. Looking at the old newspapers piled up in the room, I am still very happy, and my enthusiasm for work is still very high.

I took out the registration booklet handed to me by the female comrade before me, quickly checked the names and addresses of the newsstands that had been collected, the newspapers that had been delivered, and the newsstands that had not yet been collected, and then classified the newspapers that had been left over after I had taken over, and moved them to the corner of the wall to make room for the arrival of the new issue of the newspaper the day after tomorrow.

To say, the efficiency of this private newspaper is really high. When it was almost time to get off work, Zheng Yi came and handed me the work permit that had been completed.

After Zheng Yi left, I happily looked at the words "reporter" and "director" on my work card, and couldn't wait to call Director Zhao's BB machine and ask him and Yan Xiaoguang to get together together.

I want to tell them that not only am I a journalist, but I am also a director!
