Outside the high-speed rail station, Chen Yekai quickly got off the train, looked down at his watch, Zhou Sheng was standing out, the two looked at each other, Zhou Sheng was sweating.
Chen Yekai said, "Go away?"
Zhou Sheng spread his hands helplessly, and Chen Yekai said, "I was just about to tell you, I'll go to Beijing in a while, it doesn't matter, we'll meet again then."
"What?!" Zhou Sheng suddenly exclaimed, looking at Chen Yekai vigilantly. Chen Yekai said, "Your school has established an exchange relationship with a university in Beijing. They sent a young lecturer over, and I will come over."
Zhou Sheng looked surprised when he saw Chen Yekai get into the car and watched him leave.
Yu Hao was tossed around by Zhou Sheng all night last night, his back hurt when lying down, so he had to sleep on his stomach. This dream was intermittent, and he felt that Zhou Sheng was trying to enter his dream, but his dream was shaking all the time, affected by the surrounding environment when he fell asleep, and the distance seemed to be a certain obstacle.
"Sleep well." Finally, Yu Hao said to Zhou Sheng, "Otherwise you will be very tired when you wake up tomorrow."
"Then... good night." Zhou Sheng said a lot, but Yu Hao laughed before him, "Good night."
He put his hand on Zhou Sheng's forehead, woke up on the high-speed train, turned over, and fell asleep after a while.
Arrive in Beijing at four in the morning.
This is the first time Yu Hao has left Ying City alone. Although he occasionally went out with Zhou Sheng during the winter and summer vacations, he had never gone alone to a place he didn't know well. Passengers on the high-speed train rushed out, dragging suitcases. Yu Hao has also become a member of this northern drifting army.
Everything around him was within his conceivable range. It wasn't surprising, but there was a sense of unfamiliarity. People who pulled accommodation outside the high-speed rail station, passengers who hired agents for black cars, Yu Hao called a car with his mobile phone and found a parking lot. Didi's car leaves. In the past, he would definitely look for a bus or subway, but as Zhou Sheng became more and more, he began to realize that he had money, cards, cameras, and computers with him.
After taking a taxi for more than 120, Yu Hao followed the address given by Lin Ze and arrived on the road outside the newspaper office in Xicheng District at 6:30. He sent a message to Zhou Sheng to report that he was safe, and then found a nearby express hotel to stay and prepare. Check in first and then rent.
It was getting cooler in the morning in Beijing in September, and there were many old men and women playing Tai Chi outside the park. From getting off the high-speed train to staying at the hotel, Yu Hao felt that the city was very friendly to him. When he asked for directions, everyone was very enthusiastic, and the aunts took the initiative to show him the way.
At first, Zhou Sheng asked him every ten minutes, and Yu Hao used his mobile phone to take pictures and report the progress. When it was past seven o'clock, there was no movement on Zhou Sheng's side, and he probably fell asleep again. After Yu Hao checked in and opened a good room, he took a shower and washed his hair. He also changed his shirt and dressed a little more simply. He put on his camera bag and went to the newspaper office to report.
The newspaper office is a four-story building in a hutong with "Qinghua Times" engraved on the door and a large row of blue vertical plaques on both sides. They are news organizations, youth media units, etc., which are quite organ-style. , There are two small stone lions at the door. When Yu Hao went in, there was no one inside, so he asked at the door, it was quiet, and then he shouted again.
"Come on!" said an aunt's voice, "I hear you!"
While sending a message to Lin Ze, Yu Hao said, "I'm looking for Lin Ze... reporter, editor?"
The aunt said blankly: "I don't know, who is that?"
Yu Hao: "..."
Yu Hao didn't think so, was he deceived? Then can I go home? It is estimated that Zhou Sheng will be crazy when he sees him going back at night.
"He asked me to report, this is his business card..." Yu Hao showed the aunt's business card, and the aunt asked with confusion, "Isn't this a newspaper office in Chongqing? What are you doing in Beijing?"
Yu Hao explained again: "Didn't he transfer over?"
"Wait a minute." The aunt got up and went in. Yu Hao felt uneasy in his heart, and told Zhou Sheng what happened to him. Zhou Sheng replied, "I think you should come back, this is God's will.]
"Here!" Lin Ze walked out quickly and waved to Yu Hao in the corridor. The aunt said: "Don't go through this door in the future, go through the side door, thinking that some leader sent someone to visit unannounced, my mother can scare me..."
Yu Hao: "..."
"Thank you eldest sister." Lin Ze motioned for Yu Hao to follow him.
"Isn't this a newspaper office?" Yu Hao said, "A newspaper office is still afraid of unannounced visits?"
Yu Hao didn't know why every time he saw Lin Ze, the Tucao skill seemed to be automatically turned on. Lin Ze said, "It's too late for you, I just need someone to help me..."
Lin Ze pushed open the door of an office, and Yu Hao was shocked.
It was like a vegetable market inside, with dozens of desks, full of messy manuscripts, and Situ Ye was still arguing with an editor.
"Why is there something wrong with my photo..."
"The face is all black!" the editor said, "How do you ask me to post it?"
Situ Ye: "That's because the photo time is at night!"
Lin Ze: "Have a better attitude!"
Answering the phone, making a call, the A4 paper was flying around, and the printer was still beeping wildly, Yu Hao thought that the machine was going to explode in minutes. He had only seen this scene in one place, that is Xiao Yujun's Yingjiang Daily Office.
"You sit here." Lin Ze said to Yu Hao, "No matter who asks you to move your seat, don't move, don't get up, just say this is your seat, sit and wait for me... Teacher Yang! My people are here! Here comes one!"
Yu Hao: "..."
Yu Hao took off his camera bag, and as soon as he sat down, a man with a full beard came over with a cigarette in his mouth, holding a large stack of manuscripts in his hand, and looked down at Yu Hao.
Yu Hao: "Hello."
"Let there be a place!" the man said, "Where is the kid from?"
Situ Ye sat on a desk and said to the man, "People from our department!"
The man said, "Where's the badge? Take it out."
Situ Ye said: "Isn't this done yet? I'm looking for Teacher Yang."
The man said, "Hey, young man, what are you doing?" Then he threw the stack of papers in his hand on the table, and walked straight to Situ Ye, who immediately said, "What are you doing?"
"What are you doing?"
Yu Hao was terrified, for fear that the two of them would fight, the man pushed away a reporter on the phone in front of him and went to find Situ Ye, but Situ Ye jumped off the editor's desk and ran outside.
Yu Hao: "..."
A girl with glasses beside her said to Yu Hao, "Help me see what this word is?"
Yu Hao said, "I... this..."
The girl was holding a manuscript with a bunch of scribbled handwriting on it. Yu Hao looked at the context and said, "This should be... a flag..."
"Yes yes yes!" the girl said immediately, "I'll add chicken drumsticks for you..."
A male editor in front turned around and said, "Isn't this a manuscript you wrote yourself?"
The girl said, "How can I recognize what I wrote? Handsome guy, please help me read it..."
The bearded man came back and said, "Hey, you should go, get up!"
"I was asking about something!" the girl said, "Can you stop bothering me?"
"This is my position!" said the bearded man.
"Isn't it the same where you sit?" The editor turned around and said, "Can't you sit in the corner?"
"That's the toilet!" the bearded man roared, "You go to the toilet door and sit and see?"
The scene was completely chaotic. After a while, the entire large office instantly became quiet. Yu Hao looked up and saw an old lady of about 60 years old, wearing a red dress, lipstick and makeup, walking from the small office at the end of the large office. She came out with a teacup, and Lin Ze followed her.
Lin Ze pointed at Yu Hao and said, "Here, the person I recruited."
"Okay." The old lady's voice was a bit sandy, and when she came to Yu Hao's side, Lin Ze said, "Get up quickly! Call someone!"
Yu Hao thought to himself that you told me not to get up no matter who I saw... He got up and shook hands with the old lady, Lin Ze said, "My name is Teacher Yang."
"Hello, Teacher Yang." Yu Hao said, noticing that she was wearing a badge with "Yang Hong" written on it.
Yang Hong took Yu Hao's hand and greeted the employees like a leader. He said to Lin Ze, "He must have worked hard all the way, so let him go back to rest first."
"It doesn't matter." Lin Ze said, "Yu Hao has already rested, he just wants to work now."
Yu Hao was mad in his heart: What is this all about! You promised me to take my teacher
"It's good to be brave." Yang Hong said again, "Well, it's good to be brave, it's hard for you."
As she said, she picked up the teacup, took a look around, and went in. Then the whole office started arguing again. Situ Ye came in and said with relief: "Fortunately, keep it, find me a chair..."
"No." Yu Hao said, "You sit on my picture, I'm squatting."
"You sit here, Xiao Ye." The editor at the back pointed to a stack of books, and Situ Ye stacked up the whole set of "New Notes on Chinese Characters", with a copy of "Party Style and Party Discipline" on it, and sat on his butt.
"I'm going to sleep for a while." Situ Ye said to Yu Hao, "I can't take it anymore, call me anytime if I need to." He then laid down on the table and started to sleep.
Lin Ze followed Yang Hong into the office again. The editorial department's vegetable market started to be noisy again. There were books everywhere. Yu Hao glanced behind him. The editors in charge were like juggling. There was also a glass with tea on it, or a half-eaten lunch box. Yu Hao was afraid that the book behind him would fall and smash him to death on the spot.
Zhou Sheng sent a few messages asking how it was, and Yu Hao replied. During that time, Situ Ye fell asleep and slipped off the table, onto Yu Hao's lap, and then onto the ground. He fell asleep under the table in a twisted posture. .
This guy also has very long legs... Yu Hao thought to himself.
"Are you an editor?" The editor in charge turned back.
Yu Hao said, "I'm a reporter, an intern reporter..."
The editor in charge said: "Ah, the people from Teacher Lin's department, you reporters know reporters best, help me translate this..."
Yu Hao: "..."
The editor in charge handed over a handwritten manuscript that was scanned and reprinted. The girl beside Yu Hao said, "I really can't stand Teacher Wang. What the hell is he writing!"
"Stop talking! Hurry up and go to school!" said a middle-aged man holding tea. "The manuscript will be published in forty minutes!"
Everyone suddenly let out a frantic cry, and Yu Hao said, "Then... what's the translation?"
"Translate the full text!" said the editor in charge, "Write it down below."
Yu Hao borrowed a pen and didn't need to translate the full text. Some handwriting was not difficult to read, so he circled some words that seemed difficult to understand and made notes.
"Do you think there is a language problem?" The girl next door asked Yu Hao with the manuscript again.
"How did he know what you wrote yourself!" Then he laughed at her.
"Adverbial cannot be postfixed..."
Suddenly, the bell rang, and everyone stood up in unison. Even the people who were half-speaking didn't move. They all put down their manuscripts and turned away.
Yu Hao: "..."
Situ Ye was still sleeping under the table, and someone shouted to Yu Hao, "Drink tea and have some snacks."
Yu Hao followed a group of editors to get snacks. Fifteen minutes later, the bell rang again, and everyone came back one after another to make changes.
After Yu Hao finished translating the handwritten manuscript, Lin Ze finally came out, threw a badge to Yu Hao, and said, "Go to the personnel office in the afternoon to fill out the form. Have you brought a photo?"
"Bring it." Yu Hao said.
"Let's eat first." Lin Ze said.
Yu Hao got up from the maze, shook Situ Ye, and said, "Get up and eat."
"Have you eaten yet?" Situ Ye woke up when he heard the meal, rubbed his eyes, and almost bumped into the stack of books behind him. Fortunately, Lin Ze was quick-witted and supported the stack of books.
"I'll apply to the office this afternoon."
At lunch, Lin Ze used his card to order food for Situ Ye and Yu Hao. Yu Hao was shocked when he saw the prices in the cafeteria. One 2 for braised pork, 1 2 for fried kale with fungus, and 1 2 for braised crucian carp. eat!
Yu Hao: "This cafeteria..."
"It's so unpalatable." Situ Ye took the soup and made rice in a depressing way.
"Let's make do with it, I won't be able to eat a few meals." Lin Ze said, "As soon as I apply for the office, I won't be able to eat in the cafeteria. Can Yu Hao cook?"
Yu Hao: "I will... a little bit, and I will follow Zhou Shengxue."
"He must be very helpless when you come to Beijing," Lin Ze said.
Yu Hao replied, "It's okay, he will fly over to see me every week."
Lin Ze and Situ Ye nodded. Lin Ze said, "I'm the only one in our group now. They didn't give Xiao Ye a position, and they didn't apply for the office. They said that unless the group recruited people, it would be difficult to handle."
"What about the one who was interviewing with you?" Yu Hao asked.
"That's a writer." Situ Ye said, "The legendary coal boss killer came to help temporarily. He was bitten by a dog last time and went back to Chongqing for an injection."
Yu Hao: "..."
Lin Ze said: "In the afternoon, you fill out the form and give it to me. I will go through the process. I hope I can get through this time."
Yu Hao: "So... you won't be working here all the time, will you?"
"The reporter is not with the editor in charge." Situ Ye said, "It's too noisy, the troops are in chaos."
Yu Hao thought that it was okay, the newspaper office was too chaotic, and Lin Ze added: "There are many young people here, so the teachers' offices are very quiet. Reporters also have reporters' offices..."
Situ Ye said: "Let's stay in the editorial department. The reporter's office can smoke me into bacon for a day."
"You go to Lama Temple in the afternoon to have an incense," Lin Ze said to Situ Ye, "Bless our office to apply for it this time."
Situ Ye said helplessly, "Okay, Sun."
Yu Hao: "..."
In the afternoon, everyone in the entire editorial department lay on their stomachs in rows, and finally quieted down, like a group of zombies. At two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone woke up at the same time and started making noises again. The only difference from the morning is that in the morning everyone is proofreading and revising the manuscript, and in the afternoon they start drinking tea and chatting.
Yu Hao thought to himself that this was really a weird place, and everyone wasn't surprised by his presence. They greeted him when eating cookies, and of course asked him to add some hot water. The girl on the side played poetry with the editor in front, and the back The two editors are playing Ludo.
A fat middle-aged man came, put down his bag, and said to Yu Hao kindly, "Yu Hao?"
Yu Hao nodded, stood up and shook hands with him, thinking that this is the teacher who took him
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Hello, hello."
Yu Hao: "Hello, hello."
Middle-aged man: "Can you lend me this desk for a while?"
"No." Yu Hao said expressionlessly.
The two sides were awkwardly silent for a while, and the middle-aged man left again, wandering around and being rejected by editors everywhere.
"Are you all so short of workstations?" Yu Hao asked the girl next to him.
"Because that table of yours was used by reporters to temporarily change their manuscripts." The girl ate the melon seeds and said to Yu Hao, "Now I'm not happy to move it to the toilet for them."
"You put the things on it." He was in charge of editing and teaching him, "Put some hidden weapons on the chair, and no one will take your place."
"It's annoying." Another editor said, "If you sit for hours, you won't get up."
Yu Hao was completely speechless. After texting with Zhou Sheng for a while in the afternoon, Zhou Sheng had already boarded the plane and was about to go to Guangzhou. He packed up very energetically. As an assistant, he was a little more energetic than the boss who brought him.
[Everyone said that your custom-made suit looks good.]
Zhou Sheng seems to be completely accustomed to playing the role of the company's heir.
Yu Hao smiled and looked at the selfie he posted. When he saw him, all the fatigue he had today was immediately cleared up, and he was full of blood. Yu Hao chatted for a while while filling out the form, and Lin Ze came over and took his entry form and ID card to make a copy.
The reporters' manuscripts came again, and the whole office was in chaos. After drinking two cups of coffee, Yu Hao took a moment to relax. He borrowed the professional book proofread by the editor and read it carefully. How much can he make up for? When it was almost six o'clock, Yu Hao was about to ask the girl beside him when he got off work. Found that all the people around have changed!
The girl next door became an uncle, and a fat man with glasses sat behind him, and everyone in the office changed! What's even more frightening is that these people still know each other, chatting slowly and step by step.
Yu Hao was so terrified now that he thought he was filmed by some prank show, and looked around in fear and trembling, thinking where is this? who I am
"Who are you?" Yu Hao asked the uncle next door.
The uncle looked confused and looked up from the manuscript: "Who are you?"
"Who are you?"
"Who are you?"
In the editorial office, the fans were whirling, and the fluorescent lights illuminated everyone's faces pale. People who didn't know each other raised their heads from the front lights in front of them and looked at Yu Hao together.
"Who are you?" Yu Hao asked in fear, "Who am I?"
This scene was like a nightmare. Yu Hao immediately lowered his head and sent a message to Lin Ze. After filming the surrounding scene, Lin Ze called.
"Why haven't you got off work yet?" Lin Ze said, "It's half past six, let's go eat."
"What's going on here?" Yu Hao asked, "How come everyone's looks have changed?"
Lin Ze: "That's the night shift editor and proofreader... It's a shift change."
Yu Hao: "..."
The people around realized that Yu Hao was frightened, so there was a burst of laughter. Yu Hao was extremely embarrassed for a while, hurriedly put away his things, bowed to everyone, and hurriedly left.
"Boss, you didn't tell me what time..."
"Just call Aze." Lin Ze said, "You don't have to punch in the card, come as soon as you want, just help me occupy this table, the work card will be given to you tomorrow, by the way, you'll be free to pick me up later... No time If so, leave him alone."
Lin Ze sent the train schedule to Yu Hao, Yu Hao glanced at it, and Situ Ye said next to him, "Come and eat, don't worry about it."
"It's alright! I'll pick it up!" Yu Hao replied, he went back to the hotel first, and suddenly remembered that the most important thing of the day had not yet been done... He didn't even go to rent a house, the first day of employment was extremely chaotic. Now I can't see the room temporarily, so let's pick him up first. Zhou Sheng gave him more than 30,000 yuan, and it doesn't matter if he stays in an express hotel for a few days.
Yu Hao now really felt that being with Zhou Sheng was the happiest thing in his life. Since they were together, he had hardly ever worried about money. A few years ago, I had only saved a few thousand dollars in my life, and now I must be so anxious.
Zhou Sheng's plane was late, so he urged him to go to dinner and asked him to eat more expensive ones. Yu Hao went to Mr. Li for dinner, thinking that it would be unpalatable... This pork belly was steamed too much, and it was not sticky at all. Dried plum vegetables Not enough time to soak in water in advance... Forget about being away from home, you can't be too picky.
Zhou Sheng also finally flew. So Yu Hao rushed to the Beijing West Railway Station while looking at his watch, made a phone call, and turned off the phone.
Yu Hao didn't prepare to pick up the person's printed sign, so he had to try to identify the person in the photo sent by Lin Ze at the dim exit.
"Mr. Jin Weicheng!" Yu Hao had his last move and began to shout, "Is Mr. Jin Weicheng here?"
In the photo, it was a plump, mountain-like young man wearing a basketball uniform, but Yu Hao looked at it, and there was nothing similar. After shouting for a long time, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind and put it on his shoulder without knowing it, Yu Hao was startled.
"Stop shouting." A tall and thin man said weakly, "I'm..."
Yu Hao: "..."
Yu Hao looked at his phone, then at the tall and thin man in front of him. The other party wore a pair of thick old-fashioned glasses, looked around forty years old, with a slightly hunched waist, an old silk shirt that had been washed yellow, gray trousers, old-fashioned sandals, a woven bag on his shoulder, and a woven bag in his left hand. Holding a briefcase and holding a thermos cup modified from a can of oranges in his right hand, just like a liar who came out of the reform and opening period drama, holding a stack of documents and opening a leather bag company to fool people around.
Yu Hao thought to himself that this is not right, he is not alone!
"This is a picture of me ten years ago," the man said. "Show you my press pass."
Yu Hao looked at the press card, and it was indeed Jin Weicheng, with the "Korean" mark on it. Yu Hao quickly shook hands with him and introduced himself. Jin Weicheng is 1.9 meters tall and very thin. He stood and thought about it, lowered his head, and said to Yu Hao, "I'm too hungry, let's go get something to eat first. Will the editor-in-chief give us a supplement? "
Yu Hao thought for a while and said, "Yes, you can eat whatever you want."
It was as if this person had tried to cheat and hadn't eaten for several days. Yu Hao thought that Lin Ze didn't tell him what to do after receiving the person, so he took him back to the restaurant outside the train station and ordered it for him. A package. Jin Weicheng said: "My mobile phone is out of power and I can't find Editor-in-Chief Lin."
Yu Hao called Lin Ze, but there was no answer. After a while, Situ Ye sent a message: [Take him to dinner, find another place for him to live, and let him play freely. .]
Situ Ye transferred 500 yuan to Yu Hao on WeChat, but Yu Hao didn't dare to accept it. He replied that he would put it on first and hand over the invoice tomorrow, but Situ Ye didn't say anything. Yu Hao found out that Lin Ze seemed to be quite busy, so it would be quicker to ask Situ Ye to solve everything.
When Jin Weicheng saw the meal, he began to gobble.
Yu Hao thought to himself that this should be a member of the team. Lin Ze told him earlier that he would arrange for a reporter teacher to take him, so it must be this person. Jin Weicheng ate two mouthfuls of food and looked around for a place to charge. Yu Hao quickly took the power bank and let him charge it. Jin Weicheng took out a Xiaomi phone with a broken screen and started watching the news.
This guy was almost as tall as Fu Liqun, and he didn't know how to put his legs in the deck, so he had to lift up and step on the side. Beijing is a very tolerant city, there are quite a lot of migrant workers, there are rich people in well-dressed and dusty migrant workers, no one will give strange eyes anywhere. From this point of view, Yu Hao likes it very much.
Zhou Sheng was still broadcasting his itinerary after he arrived in Guangzhou. Yu Hao was already very sleepy, but as soon as he talked to Zhou Sheng, he was refreshed.
