Chapter 134 Don’t you want to be the team leader?
Wan Qinglan was not in a hurry to take Gu Yuehuai back. Instead, she took her through the corridors, offices, printing factories and other places, introducing her to the offices of Masses Daily one by one, with a sense of pride in her tone.
Wan Qinglan's mouth was dry as she spoke. She looked at Gu Yuehuai and said smugly, "You know, Yuehuai? Our Masses Daily is a top-level unit. Those who can come here are not ordinary people. You have to smile secretly."
Gu Yuehuai chuckled and was about to speak when he suddenly heard Wan Qinglan's excited voice.
"Oh! It's him! It's him!" Wan Qinglan grabbed Gu Yuehuai's arm and shook it continuously, his tone excited, as if he wished he could fly.
Gu Yuehuai frowned, pulled out his arm without leaving a trace, and looked in the direction she was staring at.
Over there, a young man wearing a white shirt and a military coat walked by. He was looking down at the camera in his hand, and perhaps he saw something he was not satisfied with, so he couldn't help but frowned.
Gu Yuehuai's face was calm. He glanced at Wan Qinglan who was still excited: "Do you like him?"
Hearing this, Wan Qinglan was stunned. There was no trace of shyness on her face. Instead, she said in a strange tone, "Like? You think too much. It's admiration, admiration, okay! Pei Yi is good-looking, but his eyes are a little blind."
Gu Yuehuai nodded without comment: "It's time to go back."
She didn't care at all who this man named Pei Yi was, what he did, or why Wan Qinglan admired him.
She turned around and prepared to leave. Wan Qinglan puffed her lips, held Gu Yuehuai's hand, and said coquettishly: "Yuehuai~ Can't you just ask me? Satisfy your curiosity and fulfill my desire to share?"
Gu Yuehuai glanced at her with a headache and said, "It's time to go back to work."
Hearing this, Wan Qinglan grinned, hugged Gu Yuehuai's arm, and walked back happily: "It's okay, it's okay, we can talk while walking on the way! Your workstation is next to me, we can talk while working!"
On the way, Wan Qinglan kept talking about the most anticipated gossip in the Masses Daily.
Gu Yuehuai listened to Wan Qinglan's words silently, looking somewhat speechless. It was only her first day at work, and the first thing she knew about the unit was not about work, but gossip about relationships between people?
She really wanted to remind Wan Qinglan that Masses Daily is a news organization, not an entertainment organization.
To put it simply, this gossip is that Pei Yi was transferred from Zhoulan City's Masses Daily to the remote Huangying Commune, where he became a resident photography editor and is currently in the editing group.
He is handsome, talented, and has a good family background. He became a popular person in the unit as soon as he arrived.
As the saying goes, a handsome man goes with a beautiful woman. Liu Qiang is the only daughter of Liu Yizhou, the deputy editor-in-chief of Masses Daily. Naturally, she is pampered. She is charming and beautiful, and her throat sounds like honey when she speaks. She quickly conquered Pei Yi.
Therefore, Pei Yi and Liu Qiang are the golden boy and girl of Masses Daily. They have a good relationship and are said to be getting married.
The reason why Wan Qinglan admired Pei Yi was that as soon as he arrived, he took a group of photos of local customs and published them in the "Masses Daily" newspaper. The response was very good, and he even received praise and a bonus from the headquarters in Beijing.
Pei Yi's talent is unquestionable. People admire the strong, and Wan Qinglan is one of them.
As soon as they finished gossiping, the two returned to the office of editorial team three.
Gu Yuehuai took a quick look and found that most of the employees had joined the company at this point. Editorial Group 3 was a new organization among the three editorial groups. It didn't have many people, only six in total for all the positions.
Of course, when she arrived, there were seven.
In the office, besides Wan Qinglan and Huang Binbin, there were three men and one woman, all very enthusiastic. However, now everyone was focused on their work and stopped joking.
Gu Yuehuai sat down, sorted out the things on his workstation, turned around and asked Wan Qinglan: "What is the latest work of our Masses Daily? What do I need to do?"
Wan Qinglan bit the tip of the pen, thought for a moment, and said, "Recently, everyone is reporting on the news of 'Agriculture Learns from Dazhai'. Here, these are the manuscripts and photos. You can draw some calligraphy or illustrations."
Gu Yuehuai flipped through the photos in his hand and nodded, "Group 3 doesn't have a leader?"
Generally speaking, new employees like her would be assigned work by their team leaders.
Wan Qinglan shook his head: "Our group three was just established not long ago, where can we find a group leader? If you have confidence, you can make some achievements. Who knows, you may even be able to become a group leader in the selection after a while!"
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyebrows: "You don't want to be the team leader?"
Wan Qinglan laughed: "I am just a girl with no ambitions. What's the point of being a team leader? I just need to do some easy work every day, such as editing manuscripts. My biggest wish is to be able to go to work and leave work at a fixed time. Unfortunately..."
Unfortunately, I ended up working at Masses Daily, where I had to work the most overtime, so I couldn't even be lazy.
Wan Qinglan curled her lips again and said rather sadly, "Saturdays and Sundays are the busiest here, because we have to publish new newspapers every Monday, so we have to cherish the opportunity to have free time. Being busy is no joke."
Gu Yuehuai understood, took a set of paper and pen, looked at the manuscript, and began to draw illustrations.
The work of an art editor is neither difficult nor easy. It involves book cover design, newspaper insert design, art lettering, art manuscripts, picture album drawing, etc. It requires the ability to independently compile manuscripts, and the paintings must fit the manuscripts.
When she draws illustrations, she has to work closely with the text, so she has to consult with the text editor.
On her first day of work, she adapted very well. When she discussed the content of the manuscript with Huang Binbin and Wan Qinglan so as to achieve harmony between the content and the form of illustrations, everything went very smoothly. She was used to learning from one example and her ideas were very novel.
In just one morning, Huang Binbin and Wan Qinglan were impressed by Gu Yuehuai's painting skills.
Her ideas were very avant-garde, and the illustrations and calligraphy she drew were very different from the old ones in the past. For a moment, everyone had a new understanding of Gu Yuehuai and trusted her abilities.
At noon, the bell rang, and it was time to get off work and have lunch.
Gu Yuehuai packed up the paper and pen, and said to Wan Qinglan: "Qinglan, I have something to do at noon, so I won't eat at the office. If I come back late, please ask the editor-in-chief for an hour's leave."
Wan Qinglan nodded: "Okay, go ahead."
Gu Yuehuai nodded, turned and left.
As soon as she walked out of Fuhou Street, she ran into Gu Zhifeng who came over.
Gu Yuehuai shouted: "Dad!"
Gu Zhifeng looked up and saw her daughter. Her face lit up with joy and she hurried over to say, "Nannan, this is your first time going to work today. How do you feel? Did your colleagues give you a hard time? Don't bear the grievances by yourself, okay?"
As the old father spoke, he couldn't help but show worry on his face.
He came from a landlord family and had studied abroad when he was young. He had seen a lot of the world and had experienced great changes in his family. Naturally, he had a thorough understanding of human nature. Those who could enter a good unit like the Masses Daily were not ordinary people. How could they get along well with each other?
