Chapter 87: Rabbits Don't Eat Grass Near Their Nests
Wang Shuo naturally didn't know what Lin Weimin was thinking. Under the care of his close older brother, Lin Weimin, he made up his mind to go into business. He felt that his thoughts were clear and he had no distractions.
Lin Weimin and Qu Xiaowei were riding on their bicycles. Seeing Wang Shuo riding away after pedaling four or five times to find the right pedal, Qu Xiaowei sighed, "This guy has been fooled by you."
"Don't talk nonsense. What do you mean by nonsense? I'm just pointing out the way."
"Come on, you still want to give me some advice?"
Qu Xiaowei still remembers the scene in the cafeteria of the Institute of Cultural Research where Lin Weimin tricked Huang Anyi into tears.
After a few jokes, Lin Weimin and Qu Xiaowei said goodbye.
A few days passed by and the Chinese New Year is approaching. Today is the last day of work for the editorial department of Contemporary Magazine before the New Year.
Everyone in the office was distracted from their work and started gossiping.
"This year has passed so quickly. It's gone in a flash." Rong Shihui sighed.
Liu Yin got a handful of melon seeds from somewhere and said, "It's fast. Thinking back to this time last year, our editorial department only had seven or eight people and three or five guns..."
She was reading the lyrics from Sha Jia Bang, and everyone smiled knowingly. Compared with the situation of Contemporary last year, these lyrics were quite accurate.
Zhu Changsheng said: "We are different now. We have upgraded our weapons! We have really had a lot of new additions this year!"
Just as he said, "Contemporary" was changed into a bimonthly magazine, and the editorial department's staff strength has been greatly expanded. Originally, there were only seven people including the two leaders Meng Weizai and Qin Zhaoyang, but now the number has more than doubled.
"Hey, it's almost time for salary to be paid, right? Why is there still no news?" The person who said this was Yao Shuzhi. She had made an appointment with her friends to go shopping in the afternoon and was counting on getting her salary today.
It is now the end of the month, and according to custom, the salary for this month is paid in advance.
"Why don't you go ask the finance department!" Lin Weimin joked.
"I won't go. Otherwise, I will definitely be scolded by Sister Wen."
"You know what I'm going to do. Just wait."
Liu Yin asked, "Hey, Weimin, how are your books selling?"
Everyone turned their eyes to Lin Weimin, and they were equally curious.
"It's OK. I went to the front building the day before yesterday and they said they might need to print more after the New Year."
"You have really become a great writer." Liu Yin was clearly smiling, but Lin Weimin always felt that she was a little sarcastic.
"Don't be envious, you can't envy it."
Liu Yin rolled her eyes at him, "What a shame! What does it have to do with you no matter how well it sells?"
This sentence touched Lin Weimin's lungs, and he was immediately unable to speak.
Rong Shihui said, "You can't say that. The good sales of the book is definitely a good thing for Weimin. At the very least, the standard of royalties will definitely be raised in the future."
“That’s right, I don’t understand anything.”
"You understand, you understand, then you understand."
Liu Yin and Lin Weimin started arguing, causing their colleagues to laugh.
After a while, there was movement from the finance department, and everyone rushed to line up to receive their money.
Today is the last working day before the New Year. An unspoken rule has already been formed in the company. Only the finance and logistics personnel are busy on this day. The rest of the people chat and gossip in the morning while waiting for their salaries, and run away after lunch.
When Lin Weimin was queuing to get his salary, he noticed several beautiful women and couldn't help but look over at them eagerly.
Several male colleagues from the surrounding community were whispering. Lin Weimin listened and found that they were all talking about the beauty in front.
The person they talked about the most was a female comrade named Narjin. Lin Weimin took a look at the characteristics they described and found that she was indeed a beauty, with soft and outstanding facial features and medium-short hair. She had a temperament that stood out from the crowd.
Rong Shihui saw Lin Weimin staring at Na Erjin and whispered, "That's the daughter of Mr. Na from the Foreign Language Department. Are you attracted to her? Do you want me to tell you about her?"
Lin Weimin immediately shook his head, "It looks good, but you can't touch it."
"Why?" Rong Shihui was puzzled.
"A rabbit doesn't eat grass near its burrow."
Rong Shihui was frowning. You have principles, but this is not the time to use them. Don’t you want to eat grass near your own nest?
If you don't eat this grass, there are plenty of people in the community who want to eat it.
"Her home is in Hongxing Hutong. This girl is pretty, talented in writing, and she is in the same business as us. You have made some achievements now. If I mention it to Mr. Na, maybe it will work out." Rong Shihui said.
Lin Weimin shook his head, "No, no."
Rong Shihui was helpless. He really couldn't understand what was in Lin Weimin's mind.
Lin Weimin actually didn’t think much about it. He didn’t intend to walk through a sea of flowers without getting a single leaf on him, but he also couldn’t be hanged by a tree.
If you find a partner at work, how can you spend your time happily in the future?
What's more, the two generations of that family are in the Chinese literature society, and they see each other every day, which is even worse.
He certainly couldn't say this to Rong Shihui, but he made up his mind to pay less attention to Na Erjin.
That little girl is quite pretty, but if she gets blinded by her beauty and becomes a done deal, his life will be ruined.
A little lack of patience will ruin a great plan. For the sake of future happiness, you cannot die before accomplishing your mission.
After queuing up to receive your salary, the process is not over yet, as there are still benefits provided by the company.
The domestic publishing industry has been thriving in recent years, to the point where ministries and commissions have convened meetings to resolve the problem of printing paper. As the big brother of the domestic publishing industry, Guowen Publishing House naturally has excellent performance.
Lin Weimin, a new employee, felt the enthusiasm of the company for the first time. Wow, there was rice, flour, grain, and oil all available. It was difficult for him, a young man in his twenties, to carry them all by himself.
After having his last lunch before the New Year in the cafeteria, Lin Weimin rode his bike to Muxidi with the benefits provided by his unit.
"Hello, Master's wife!"
Mr. Wan was not at home at this time, and only Li Yuru was at home.
Mr. Wan has a lot of titles, and the days before and after the New Year are his busiest times.
"What are you going to do with these things? Our family doesn't lack them." Li Yuru said.
"They were all distributed by the company. I am alone and cannot finish them all."
Lin Weimin naturally knew that Mr. Wan's family had no shortage of these things, but whether to give them as gifts was a matter of attitude. He did not deliberately buy things and send them over. He adopted a simple and unpretentious style, which made people feel less burdened.
When Lin Weimin was moving his things, Li Yuru said, "Weimin, come to our house for the New Year."
"I won't bother you anymore, Master's wife."
Li Yuru said, "We don't have many people in our family to begin with, so your coming here will make things more lively, there's no need to cause any trouble."
"It's okay. I'm used to being alone."
The more Lin Weimin said this, the more Li Yuru felt sorry for him. "It's settled. Come to our house during the New Year."
Seeing that Li Yuru insisted on doing so, Lin Weimin had no choice but to agree.
After leaving Muxidi, Lin Weimin was not idle and went to the next house.
There is no way, the company gives too much.
