”Hehe …” , I have speed but no quality. You are a craftsman who come out of slow work … ”
”You haven't even gotten the quality yet. You've almost monopolized all the good news this month. What quality do you want? ”Hmph, unsatisfied …” Chen Jing looked at me angrily.
Liu Fei smiled as he looked at the script. Then, he signed at the reviewer section and handed it over to me: ”You can hand it over to the chief editor. I have already won the approval of the Director Zhang and from today onwards, our Department of Public Information will submit the manuscripts to the chief editor. It will be too troublesome, it will delay matters …”
Is the paper being sent by the Department of Public Information? Related editorial rooms? In the main assembly room.
I smiled and did not say anything as I received the script. I knew the real reason for the change in the distribution process was because the real writers of the newspaper were all gathered at the Department of Public Information, as well as the directors of the editors of the department room, and many of the other so-called editors were just putting on an act, faking it with red brushes and changing it randomly. In the end, many of the good articles were changed beyond recognition, causing the colleagues of the Department of Public Information to have high opinions.
This was a very happy occasion. After hearing this, the colleagues in the Department of Public Information would definitely be very happy, but they would also definitely offend the directors of the department room. They would also feel that their dignity and power had been challenged … At the same time, I also felt the tough side of Liu Fei behind his warm and refined back.
After handing in the manuscript, I directly returned back to my dorm, kicked the door shut, and impatiently opened Liu Yue's letter. I could feel the gentleness and breath that was like water on Liu Yue.
The contents of the letter was pretty much the same as before. Liu Yue gave a review of my recent work as usual, but also gave some words of encouragement. She didn't mention anything about herself nor about our future that I had always longed for.
While feeling satisfied in my heart, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Lying on the bed, I repeatedly read the letter, looking at every sentence, every word, every punctuation mark, repeatedly savoring it …
Just then, my pager rang, and I saw that it was Liu Fei shouting, ”Chapter 10: Arriving at the entrance of the newspaper office in Secretary Ma's car, there is an urgent interview. Liu Fei ”
I'm already used to it, but I don't know what kind of important mission this time. Maybe there's another important person from above, or maybe the Secretary Ma is going to visit a unit and have me accompany them to write a script. Ever since Secretary Ma read the script of the Director, he brought me along to conduct an interview on his person. This made my colleagues, including Liu Fei, very envious.
I did not dare to be negligent, and hastily packed my things before heading to the newspaper's entrance. Secretary Ma's car was parked at the entrance.
I quickly got on the car and sat in the front passenger seat. Turning my head around, I saw Secretary Ma and Mei Ling sitting at the back of the car.
Seeing me get on the car, Mei Ling said to the driver: ”Drive to Jianghai Hotel.”
Then, the Secretary Ma said to me: ”Xiao Jiang, I have just received news from the city that a Deputy Chief Editor of the people has arrived. He came to our city to do research, and the Provincial Committee Advocacy Department's leader accompanied us.
I looked at Secretary Ma with respect and nodded my head, ”Alright!”
Then, the Secretary Ma continued to talk to Mei Ling as if he was not there.
I'm used to this kind of situation. In the eyes of the leader, when you're useful, or when he needs you, you're a dish. When you're useless, or temporarily useless, you're nothing. Also, with a leader, no matter what he says, as long as he doesn't ask you, don't interrupt him, don't make any random claims, all you need is a nod. Leaders were always right, more in line, more in agreement, even flattering when necessary, it wasn't a bad thing.
I work my way into the role quickly, and in this respect I am equally adaptable, and my way into the role faster, and I flatter myself with never a flattering smile, and I despise those who flatter themselves in such a way, and seem to have no self-respect or standard, like the eunuchs of ancient times. I would always take it very seriously, and state my reasons and opinions, and let the other party know that it was only after some argument in my heart that I understood his thoughts and intentions, that I agreed to his views, that I was in good faith to praise them, and that by doing so the leader would be more comfortable with me and would feel that I was really listening, absorbing, understanding, and not being perfunctory about what he was saying.
At this moment, Secretary Ma and Mei Ling were talking about other things, so I pretended that I didn't hear anything. I focused on preparing the interview machine and the interview book, even though I heard all of their conversation.
I found out I was a goddamned good for politics, better for reporters.
When we reached the Jianghai Hotel, we directly went to the meeting room for the discussion. The discussion meeting was about to begin, and the ministers of the Party Secretary, Mayor and Ministry of Propaganda were here.
Sitting down in a corner of the conference room, I raised my eyes to peer at the people who were attending the meeting.
Suddenly, my whole body jolted and my eyes froze.
I saw Liu Yue, sitting in a corner opposite me.
When I stared at Liu Yue, Liu Yue was also looking at me and smiling faintly.
My blood was surging in my body and I was extremely excited. Oh my god, my darling Yue'er is here! It turns out that the Provincial Committee Advocacy Department was the one who accompanied Information Services to investigate in the river!
I didn't hide my joy at all as I looked into Liu Yue's eyes. However, Liu Yue only smiled slightly, and then quickly moved her eyes away, lowering her head and starting to record.
