After the meeting ended, Editor-in-Chief Yi deliberately left me and Deputy Editor-in-Chief Fang Liang behind.

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Fang Liang has been trying his best to say good things about me, which touches me very much.

Maybe it's my two articles, maybe I have to add the kind words of Deputy Editor-in-Chief Fang Liang, in short, Editor-in-Chief Yi has shown great interest in me.

He sat me down across from him and asked, "Which newspaper did you use to be a reporter?" ”

I said, "No, not at any newspaper." ”

Editor-in-chief Yi said: "Then which newspaper or magazine did you work as an editor?" ”

I said, "No." None of them. ”

Editor-in-chief Yi said: "Then which unit did you work in before you came to Nanyue?" ”

I said, "No." ”

Editor-in-chief Yi said: "You can't have never worked, can you? Your article is so well written! ”

I said, "I used to study ancient poetry. ”

Editor-in-chief Yi said: "Engaged in research? That is the ancient poetry learned. ”

I said, "No, I'm just interested in ancient poetry anyway." ”

Editor-in-Chief Yi said: "It can be seen from your article that you should have studied ancient poetry, otherwise your writing level would not have reached this level." It just so happens that Chen Jian, the editor of our newspaper, is a fan of ancient poetry, and you will be regarded as a bosom friend in the future! By the way, which institution of higher learning are you a top achiever from? ”

I said, "No, not at all." ”

Editor-in-chief Yi said: "Impossible? Your article is so well written, it can't be that you are not highly educated? ”

Editor-in-chief Yi said: "It's not about emphasizing, but just asking casually to understand the situation." Our newspaper is not a state media, it is a non-governmental media, and we do not pay attention to those requirements within the system, and we are not in a position to demand them. We will insist on 'what to do' and 'three irons', as long as you have the 'three irons', that is, iron legs, iron pens, and iron shoulders, we need them. Iron legs, that is to say, you have to dare to endure hardships, even if you break your legs, you will not be tired. Iron pen, that is, your writing must be strong. Iron shoulder, is iron shoulder morality, to be a reporter, you have to have a sense of morality, in other words, dare to tell the truth, the life of news lies in the truth! ”

I said, "I remember." ”

Deputy editor-in-chief Fang Liang said on the side: "This Da Long, he already has these conditions, at least in the 20 days since he took over the distribution work, he has told the truth, done all the practical things, and done everything he said, which is very rare!" It's just that we didn't know him before, and we didn't know that his articles were so well written! You've published in those newspapers before, can you tell us about it? ”

I said, "No, it's just that I've written a few columns for Guangzhou Youth Daily in the last two months." ”

Deputy editor-in-chief Fang Liang said: "The column of "Guangzhou Youth Daily" is not something that ordinary people can write casually, you are not simple! Is it because of your free contribution that they fancied? Impossible, right? ”

I said, "It was recommended by a female writer named Deng Yanting." ”

Editor-in-chief Yi said: "What? Deng Yanting recommended? ”

I said, "Yes, Deng Yanting." ”

Editor-in-chief Yi immediately picked up the phone and dialed a number.

In an instant, the call was returned.

Editor-in-chief Yi picked up the phone and said, "Deng Yanting, how is your epic?" Ah, it's in the final sprint, well, good luck with your masterpiece coming out of the cage soon. What I want to tell you today is that there is an author named Dalong, the article is very well written, why don't you recommend it to us but to other newspapers? Ah, ah, ah, that's the case, no wonder. But let me tell you, he's an editor and reporter for our newspaper now. Congratulations? Of course you have to congratulate! Okay, let's take the time to sit down and talk together. ”

Editor-in-chief Yi hung up the phone and said, "It turns out that you are a talent discovered by our beautiful writer Deng Yanting!" I heard that you came from the north to work in our southern Guangdong, which is not easy! Well, according to your writing, I'll arrange for you to take over our supplements for the time being, and I'll be in charge of editing novels, poems, and essays, and I'll adjust them later. ”

I said, "Okay, I'm going to work hard." ”

Editor-in-chief Yi also said: "Considering that it is not easy for you to come to Nanyue to work, and the expenses in all aspects are relatively large, so that you can have an extra income, and you have engaged in three issues of distribution, which is also very successful, you will be temporarily transferred to be the editor of the supplement, and you will still be the director of the distribution department part-time, with a post allowance plus 500." What do you think? Can you endure this suffering? ”

I said, "No problem, I'm not afraid of hardship, I promise to complete the task well!" "Thank goodness

I said, "No problem, I'm not afraid of hardship, I promise to complete the task well!" ”

Editor-in-Chief Yi said: "As for the layout and manuscript tasks of the supplement, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Fang Liang will assign it to you, and the specific work of distribution will be discussed with Zheng Yi." We will recruit a distributor under your command as soon as possible. The supplement must be compiled well, and the distribution must also be done well! ”

After a heartfelt conversation, everything was in place.

Because there were no more vacancies in the editorial office on the second floor, Editor-in-Chief Yi discussed with Deputy Editor-in-Chief Fang Liang and temporarily added a table and chair to the editor-in-chief's office for me to work. hand over

Because there were no more vacancies in the editorial office on the second floor, Editor-in-Chief Yi discussed with Deputy Editor-in-Chief Fang Liang and temporarily added a table and chair to the editor-in-chief's office for me to work.

Everything was arranged, and it was time for lunch.

According to the arrangement of the newspaper, lunch is a takeaway provided by the newspaper, and everyone has a boxed lunch and eats it in the office.

However, I suddenly received a pager from a stranger, and only after calling did I realize that it was an unexpected surprise.

I couldn't have lunch with my colleagues, so I asked Zheng Yi for leave.

Zheng Yi said: "No problem, you can go." However, if you are only in charge of distribution, then I can have the final say, but you are still the editor of the supplement, and if you want to go out, you still have to ask Deputy Editor-in-Chief Fang Liang for a leave, so it will be perfect. ”

Fortunately, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Fang Liang heard that I was going to have lunch with a friend I hadn't met for a long time, so he didn't embarrass me at all, and agreed very happily, and said: "You haven't seen each other for a long time, so you have to drink some, anyway, the newspaper is not busy for the time being, you can feel free to accompany your buddy as much as possible." ”

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Fang Liang's words warmed me.
