Chapter 24 Lost orphaned
The workplace is like a chess game, and everyone is a piece of chess game. The soldiers cross the river, the red horses and black cannons are all about the people who play this chess game.
Most of the time, Beijiang Evening News is still peaceful. At least in Chongming's view, there is a truth that cannot be broken - people's hearts are united and mountains are moved, but people's hearts are scattered and they are difficult to move rice.
The incident in Luohe Village is just an interlude and a note in the daily working rhythm of the newspaper. It is impossible for a song to have only one note forever. Only when you jump over it will you have a more beautiful melody.
Yingbei quickly returned to its original track. He was already used to this rhythm.
"Please report this week's topic."
Every Monday morning, the editorial office of Beijiang Evening News held a regular topic selection meeting. The main content of the meeting was to ask each reporter to report on this week's report plan. Xiangbei is the director of the Zhengwen Interview Group, with four reporters in the group. He summarized the topics of all members and reported to Yu Chongming, Chen Lu and Qu Changguo.
"Our group's key topic this week is a father in Dongjin City. As we all know, in recent times, anti-trafficking has been a hot topic online. Everyone hates the crime of child trafficking to the core, and some netizens even called for severe punishment for such crimes. Of course, this is a bit extreme, but it can also show everyone's hatred of such crimes."
"Yes, there is a portal headline today that is also news about this." Qu Changguo agreed. He was responsible for the planning of the topic this week. Everyone's topic selection quality and whether it is worth doing, they must first check it out. "What news points do this person in Dongjin City have?"
"Everyone knows that a recently released movie starring the King of Hong Kong, the theme is to find a trafficked son. However, most people may not know that the prototype of the male lead in this movie is in Dongjin City, Beijiang Province."
"Have you verified this? Is it certain that it is this person?" Yu Chongming interrupted. In terms of business, he has always been harsh. This also proves the saying: No one's success is accidental. Anyone who can become a leader must have outstanding features.
"No problem, leader." A young reporter behind Xiangbei suddenly said.
Xiangbei didn't say anything, waiting for this person to replenish. At such a moment, he would rather give young people more opportunities to show off.
The young reporter named Zhang Zhiyao, who joined the club two years ago. Like many post-90s, Zhang Zhiyao has a lively mind, broad thinking, not stage fright, and has a strong desire to perform. This topic is the clue that Zhang Zhiyao got from the interviewee when he went to Dongjin for an interview not long ago.
Although Xiangbei has only been in the club for two years, he obviously feels the young man's motivation. This motivation is not only in business, but also in the workplace. What makes Xiangbei admire most is that this person always speaks the point and shows his efforts and excellence without leaving any trace, without making the leader feel disgusted. Instead, he will make his topic selection a key topic in the mind of the leader in his words.
Nowadays, Zhang Zhiyao and Luo Fangyi are both in their own department, one is a newcomer and the other is an intern. However, Xiangbei always feels that Zhang Zhiyao's excellence is very different from Luo Fangyi. Luo Fangyi is smart and simple and clear, while Zhang Zhiyao's intelligence is a bit more sleek and impetuous - any interview is always a bit light on the surface, and he spares no effort in marketing the manuscript.
"Mr. Yu, I have talked to this person several times. His experience is basically the same as the experience of the male lead in this movie. In order to verify this, I also contacted the director of this movie. Sure enough, the director made a movie based on this person's experience..."
"When will it be completed?" Yu Chongming interrupted the young man's words. Compared to the young man's desire to express himself, he was more eager to know the result. After so many years in the media industry, Yu Chongming knew very well that timeliness is the life of manuscripts.
"It's done next week." Zhang Zhiyao was also very straightforward.
Yu Chongming was silent.
"Zhiyao, your topic is very good and fits the hot topic. However, you said just now that netizens are very concerned about such incidents. Since it is a hot topic, we must grab the hot topic. There is no doubt about this. Therefore, you have to move forward with this manuscript." Qu Changguo understood very well what Yu Chongming's silence means. He interpreted this silence appropriately, and took the opportunity to affirm Zhang Zhiyao's news sensitivity.
"Let's do this, we will start this report immediately after we meet," Xiangbei saw this and quickly rescued the scene. "Zhiyao, if you are not in a hurry, put it aside first and focus on this manuscript. In addition, do you need human support?"
Xiangbei also took Zhang Zhiyao step by step for half a year to understand the young man's business ability and also know his problem. To achieve perfection, Zhang Zhiyao needs to experience it for a few more years.
"Listen to the leader's arrangements." Zhang Zhiyao's tone showed disdain.
Yu Chong obviously couldn't stand his temper. Before he could speak Qu Changguo, he used his privilege, "Xiangbei, arrange this report and remember the deadline I gave you. Before this Friday, I must give me the manuscript. As for the vehicle, I will arrange it."
After the meeting ended, Xiangbei called Zhang Zhiyao and Luo Fangyi to his side.
"You have also heard Mr. Yu's words at the meeting. Zhiyao, you are very smart. There is no need to say the importance of this report. I will not emphasize it anymore. I will no longer arrange for others to partner with you. This time I will let Xiao Luo be your helper and take care of her."
After repeated thinking and thinking about whom to report "lost orphan" with Zhang Zhiyao, Luo Fangyi is undoubtedly the best candidate. First, Zhang Zhiyao is competitive and it is difficult to cooperate with others. Luo Fangyi just happened to be able to complement Zhang Zhiyao. Second, let an intern partner with Zhang Zhiyao without any worries about scrambling for life, which is beneficial to him in the assessment.
The next day, Zhang Zhiyao and Luo Fangyi got on the vehicle of the unit and rushed towards Dongjin.
Xiangbei has been staying behind in the unit this week, but he is not at ease.
On Tuesday, there was no news for the two people on a business trip. On Wednesday, there was still no news.
On Thursday morning, Xiangbei gradually became uneasy from the beginning of his restlessness and finally called Zhang Zhiyao.
"Brother Xiang, is there anything wrong?"
"How is the interview with the manuscript of Lost Or??"
"I'm going to be interviewing now, and I'll give you news after the interview."
It seems that this kid is quite down-to-earth and the interview is serious enough.
Xiangbei hung up the phone and waited for his call. However, he waited for a while and did not receive any news from the other party until noon.
We can't waste it like this anymore. If there is no progress after today, what can we explain to Yu Chongming and Qu Changguo? Since Zhang Zhiyao is not reliable, why not ask Luo Fangyi directly.
"Hey, Master."
"What, what about lunch break? I'm not energetic when I heard your tone."
"How can I feel like having lunch break? I'm so worried."
"What's the situation? What's there to worry about?" Xiangbei had a bad premonition.
"Master... I don't know if I should say it." Luo Fangyi hesitated.
"As for the interview? As long as it is the truth, what should not be said? Is there anything more important than the truth?"
"The interview was actually very unsuccessful. Brother Zhang... didn't do anything when he arrived here. He arranged the topic for me and told me the direction of the interview, but he ignored everything, but I felt a little confused and had no idea how to start."
"I can't start? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Xiangbei suppressed his mood for a few days and finally turned into anger.
"It's not that I don't want to say it. I'm afraid that I'm going to complain. I think Brother Zhang is confident. OK. Today is already Thursday, and the deadline is coming. What should I do?" Luo Fangyi was so anxious that she almost cried.
"It's not that far," he heard the other party's frustrated tone and restored his mood to Beiping. "This Zhang Zhiyao is so inappropriate. I told him all the time before that if there is any problem during the interview, I will tell me as soon as possible. He will not reply to me at all. Let's do this, I will go there in the afternoon, and you will be waiting there."
"But, if this happens, will Brother Zhang think I'm making trouble?"
"Don't worry, I know what to say."
After quitting the phone, Xiangbei was not in the mood to think about anything else. The cabinet was an emergency luggage bag for business trips, which contained some toiletries and a few pieces of clothing. Xiangbei carried the bag on his shoulder and hurried out.
Passing the exit of the large plane, I glanced north at an empty seat. This is Lao Chen's location, close to the door and near the corner. If I hadn't been to see it deliberately every time I passed by, it would have been ignored. Alas, Lao Chen, just like the seat he was in, maybe he had never integrated into this office over the years.
Hedong is not far from Dongjin, and it only took two hours to take a long-distance bus. The business trip will pick up the bus from the long-distance bus station northward and head straight to the interviewee's home.
"Brother Xiang, why are you here?"
"Why am I here? You guy, you said you would reply to me at noon. I waited until the flowers faded, but I didn't wait for your call. I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I came to see you." The workplace must be a little more particular. You must be careful in speaking and doing things. You cannot sell others, whether you are intentional or unintentional.
Luo Fangyi, who was standing aside, looked awkward and silent.
"Where is the manuscript? Show it to me."
"This... Fang Yi, how are you writing?" Zhang Zhiyao threw the ball to Luo Fangyi.
"I..." Luo Fangyi looked at Xiangbei and lowered her head.
"Okay, don't act for me. Why do you guys want to give me a surprise? Start work now."
As Xiangbei expected, the interview materials provided to him were only half a page ord. They couldn't even count a tofu cube on the page. Are they writing a message?
Fortunately, the interviewee was a person with a story: a dozen thick diary of searching for a son, a advertisement for searching for a son with a photo of his son's childhood, and a motorcycle with a searching for a son. From Beijiang Province to the south, I have traveled almost half of China in the past ten years. Aren't these touching materials?
Xiangbei spent an afternoon interviewing and worked overtime to catch up on the manuscript at night. As Lao Chen, who had just joined the club, said, "The manuscript can't be night." The next morning, the first draft was written, and he spent another morning to polish it repeatedly, and the manuscript was finally formed.
"Xiao Luo, remember one thing: a manuscript is written in seven parts and three parts. If you write a manuscript of three thousand words, you must have at least 10,000 words of material. Otherwise, your manuscript will be like a primary school student writing an essay. Squeeze toothpaste, and the pain you write will be, and the pain that you read will be."
Chapter completed!
