My Mr.Mermaid

Chapter 14: Interviews and press conferences

Views:

Yun Duo felt that she was going to become a part-time tutor. In addition to helping Tang Yibai take the fourth grade, she also helped Lin Zi prepare for the written test and interview.

Lin Zi's resume is very interesting.

In order to avoid his work experience causing unnecessary worries to the interviewer, he simply did not write those, only wrote "freelancer" in the column of work experience, without any statement. Just five words, exuding a very rich atmosphere such as "Young people who have high eyes and low hands without work and moonlight are shameless."

Then, in the self-evaluation column, he even more shamelessly glorified himself according to the code of conduct of newspaper reporters, making it seem that he was born to be a reporter, and whoever does not let him become a reporter is cruelly killing talents.

In addition, the study experience erased the part of studying abroad, and only retained the previous undergraduate. In the column of honors he has won in school, he played it hard:

Second Prize in Primary School Composition Competition;

Popular writer of junior high school newspaper;

Full marks in college entrance examination composition;

He worked hard to unearth these glorious histories as evidence that he was up to the job.

After Yun Duo saw it, she was a little surprised, "You got a perfect score for your college entrance examination composition? It's amazing."

"English essay."

"… "

Finally, in the "Expected Income" column, Lin Zi aggressively wrote three words: Look and give.

To be honest, Yun Duo thinks that his resume can pass the preliminary screening, which is inseparable from these three words.

Then there is the written test. The questions for the written test were temporarily created by the leaders of the editorial center. The questions were not professional. They mainly examined the writing skills, thinking ability, and insight of the respondents. They were relatively simple.

The interview was hosted by Director Liu himself. The door of the conference room was closed, and the interviewers were sitting outside in a row like little sheep. Most of them were young people who were just entering the workplace, and a few were college students. One by one was a little nervous. Lin Zi sat in the middle of this group of people, with Erlang's legs crossed calmly, looking a bit unusual.

Soon, he was called into the conference room.

Then, almost as soon as he stepped in the door, he was recognized...

Because an old editor who participated in the interview was temporarily busy, Mr. Sun, who was in the class, was recruited as a strong man. When Mr. Sun saw Lin Zi, his chin almost dropped, "God, why are you?"

Lin Zi frowned. Damn it, he carefully prepared so many rhetoric, and also focused on tempering his acting skills.

The word "stock god" was so refreshing. The other four interviewers' eyes moved back and forth between Lin Zi and Mr. Sun. Finally, they all stared at Mr. Sun, waiting for an explanation.

Teacher Sun had to give them a brief introduction to Lin Zi.

All of you here are involved in the sports media circle, and you have a kind of awe in the financial circle that is often seen by laymen. When you look at Lin Zi again, you will feel that this person is handsome and handsome. Lin Zi nodded to everyone, pulled out the chair and sat down, "I did work in finance before, but it wasn't that exaggerated."

Director Liu looked at him suspiciously, "Then why did you apply for a reporter from our agency? With all due respect, this position is very stressful. If you do it, you will have to go through a long period of newcomers, and the rewards will be very low. Besides, you are in You're a winner in your field, so I can't understand why you suddenly switched careers and started from scratch."

"That's because you don't understand the word 'dream'."

Director Liu looked at him blankly. Shouldn't the word "dream" only appear in elementary school students' morality classes or TV talent shows? Everyone is an adult, so don't talk to me about such childish topics, okay

Lin Zi ignored Director Liu's expression of resistance, "I have liked sports since I was a child, and I buy every issue of your newspaper."

"So you want to say that you are a loyal reader of Sports Weekly?"

"Do not."

Hey, hey, don't deny it so quickly, it's not bad for you to admit it! Teacher Sun anxiously gave Lin Zi a wink.

Director Liu sneered, "I'll see what flowers you can come up with."

Lin Zi's frenzy looked like he came to the podium of the successful study, he said, "I have loved sports since I was a child, and dreamed of being an athlete. Later, I was unfit and had to go to school. Finally, I don't need to rush for a living now. , then why can't I regain my dream?"

"So now you want to be an athlete again? With all due respect, your body was unqualified before and now your body may only become more unqualified."

"I know, so I decided to curve the curve to save the country, to be a reporter and to interview athletes often. Don't you think it's perfect?"

"Not at all."

Director Liu denied it so decisively because he did not believe the nonsense of the person in front of him. Years of life experience told him that there must be a conspiracy behind simple things. This man has money and nowhere to spend, but he came here to talk about his ideals, just like a lunatic. crazy!

Teacher Sun said to Director Liu, "It's true. His idol is Qi Ruifeng. Let's ask Qi Ruifeng for an autograph together."

Lin Zi nodded fiercely, "Yes, I want to interview Qi Ruifeng, so I hope to be assigned to the comprehensive sports page after I join the job, focusing on swimming."

Thinking of getting hired before the interview? Who gave you confidence

Director Liu was no longer able to complain, he waved his hand, "We are a serious unit, not if you want to come and leave. Sorry, we can't admit you, please call the next person in after you leave."

What a straightforward expulsion order, but Lin Zi shamelessly leaned on the chair and pretended not to hear, "So you are worried, I'm just applying for the job on a whim? To be honest, I certainly thought through such a big decision."

"Okay, that's it for now."

"Wait a minute, what you're really worried about is that my tenure in your company is too short to waste your human resources, right? After all, cultivating a reporter also requires investment."

Director Liu was a little helpless, "Okay, you're right, I have to consider the consequences."

"Hehehehe," Lin Zi suddenly laughed, with three points of disdain and seven points of pride in his smile, after laughing, he said, "Then may I ask, every time you recruit new reporters through social recruitment, how many percent of them can survive? What about the three-month trial period?"

One sentence asked Director Liu's pain point.

The official size of newspapers is limited, but the manpower they need far exceeds the size limit. Therefore, every year they have to recruit a large number of contract workers. Contract workers are like second-class citizens in public institutions, and their treatment is far inferior to that of employees. The basic salary for the job of a reporter is already very low. If it is a contract worker, it is even lower than the very low salary. It is more than 1,000 yuan a month, and even the rent is not necessarily enough. Another part of their income is manuscript fees, but new reporters usually can't publish several manuscripts a month, and this kind of manuscript fee is not expected. Therefore, it is not uncommon for newly hired contract reporters to earn less than 3,000 yuan a month in net income.

With a monthly salary of 3,000, it is considered a poverty line in City B.

They need to eat, wear, sleep, and take the subway, which are the most basic needs of life. If their monthly salary can't even meet this living need, what else are they expected to do? With a salary of more than 2,000 yuan, living in a group rented house the size of a palm, wearing a T-shirt with a 19-yuan purse, and then laughing and talking to people about ideals and the future? Not everyone's mind is so firm, and not everyone who lives in group rentals can counterattack. If they give up halfway through, others don't have to blame anything.

Thinking of this, Director Liu sighed.

"Don't be sad," Lin Zi comforted him, "Look, now there is a person who doesn't care about salary sitting in front of you and waiting for your hire, why are you still hesitating? Do you think I won't last longer than them? Then you It underestimates the power of dreams."

Director Liu was a little shaken by what he said.

Lin Zi added more fire, "Actually, you don't have to pay me the basic salary anymore," he thought to himself, but the money was not enough for me to buy snacks, but he didn't say it, "But I have to pay for the manuscript, then It's the reward for my labor."

Director Liu rolled his eyes, "Let's talk about it when you can get the royalties."

"So I got hired? I must admit that you have a really good eye."

Director Liu waved his hands weakly, "Get out quickly."

After Lin Zi left, an interviewer beside Director Liu asked him quietly, "Director Liu, did you really decide to hire him? I don't think he's very good."

"So what?" Director Liu was a little helpless, "as long as he's not here to make trouble, our grassroots reporters are too short of people." What's more, there is a good thing about not having to pay wages...

Since Lin Zi was drawn into the ranks of "making up the numbers" by Director Liu, it was impossible to cultivate well, and he was still unwilling to waste resources on Lin Zi. So, Lin Zi was released to Yun Duo's group, and Yun Duo came to take him.

Yun Duo is speechless, she is also a newcomer, okay, how can she bring another newcomer!

Lin Zi was very happy, because one of the focuses of Yun Duo's group was swimming.

Teacher Sun told Yun Duo about the interview. After Yun Duo listened, she squinted at Lin Zi, "He also told me that it wasn't because of Qi Ruifeng, but it was obvious."

Lin Zi said confidently, "How do I answer your question so directly? To me, I just want to follow Qi Ruifeng to interview Qi Ruifeng. I want to marry Qi Ruifeng?"

"You are enough, Qi Ruifeng will not marry you."

In this way, Lin Zi became Yun Duo's younger brother. She took Lin Zi for a few interviews and asked him to try to write two articles, and finally came to the conclusion: Even Director Liu released Lin Zi, so she didn't have to worry about talent training, Lin Zi can do whatever she likes. .

So she was very relaxed as a "master".

On December 5, the National Swimming Team held a press conference on the topic of the National Winter Swimming Championships to be played tomorrow. Here we need to briefly introduce the domestic swimming competition.

In addition to the National Games held every four years, there are four national-level swimming competitions, which are held annually in four professional competitions. They are in chronological order: National Spring Swimming Championships, National Swimming Championships, National Swimming Championships, and National Winter Swimming Championships. The swimming championship is generally a selection competition for major events, and its nature is different from those of the three championships.

Among the three championships, the National Swimming Championship is the highest level, followed by the Spring and Winter Championships. Some players will work on their subsports in the spring and winter championships. Many swimmers have their own sub-events, such as Qi Ruifeng's main event is long-distance freestyle, and the sub-event is short-distance freestyle. As for Tang Yibai, the main event in the past was butterfly and the secondary event was freestyle, but now it has been reversed.

Therefore, the winter championship is not as important as the championships that Yun Duo participated in before. This time, only two young rookies, Yun Duo and Lin Zi, were sent to interview.

The pre-match press conference is usually attended by star athletes and coaches, such as Qi Ruifeng and his coach Yuan Runmei, such as the eldest sister of the women's team, Da Xiangyangyang and her coach, and Tang Yibai and his... Eh, how could there be Tang Yibai

Yun Duo stared at him with wide eyes, puzzled. Compared with those world champions, Tang Yibai is a little transparent, so soy sauce is not enough, why is he sitting here? He also interacted well with big-name stars such as Qi Ruifeng and Xiang Yangyang...

As if feeling her gaze, Tang Yibai suddenly stopped talking to Xiang Yangyang and turned his head to look. He saw the clouds crowded in the crowd at a glance, and gave her a slight smile. In the noisy venue, his smile was like a gardenia blooming amid the noise of cicadas, gentle, clean and refreshing.

Yun Duo didn't respond yet. The two female reporters behind her couldn't hold it anymore and whispered, "So handsome!"

It seems that lasciviousness is a glorious tradition of mankind.

Lin Zi whispered to Yun Duo, "Why is Tang Yibai smiling at me?"

"You think too much, he's smiling at me."

"Hehe, woman."

Yun Duo's black line, "Dare to talk to the boss like this, I will break your skull!"

Lin Zi closed her mouth in horror.

At this moment, Tang Yibai lowered his head, not knowing what he was doing. Soon, Yun Duo felt the phone vibrate slightly, she took it out and saw the WeChat message Tang Yibai sent her.

Tang Yibai: Don't leave the meeting, I have something to tell you.

Cloud: Okay.
