Chapter 133 Art Editor, Gu Yuehuai
Ms. Wei is about 40 years old, with a slim figure. She gives people a sense of fragility and slenderness. Her eyebrows are long and slender, like a crescent moon. There always seems to be a lingering hint of sadness in her eyes. She does not look like a successful career woman.
Gu Yuehuai nodded at her: "Editor-in-Chief Wei."
Wei Luo held the pen in his hand, looked up at Gu Yuehuai, took the letter of introduction from her and read it, and understood: "Are you Gu Yuehuai, who has excellent painting skills in the Dalaozi Production Brigade?"
Their Masses Daily had no shortage of news or manuscripts, but they lacked people with special skills. Some newspapers and periodicals needed illustrations and portraits, and they had been worried about this for a long time. They even specially negotiated with the commune office, asking them to help keep an eye out for talents in this area. They could discuss welfare benefits, but the talents must be real and knowledgeable.
She had heard of the name "Gu Yuehuai" two days ago and had also seen a photo of the mural she painted. Although the color could not be seen in the black and white photo, the lines drawn with her brush were very skillful, and it was obvious that she was not a novice.
Gu Yuehuai chuckled: "Yes."
Wei Luo looked at her in surprise. It was rare for someone to be so thick-skinned. She actually accepted all her compliments without any modesty. However, this also showed that she was very confident in her painting skills.
She likes confident people.
Thinking of this, Wei Luo said, "We have five groups in the Masses Daily: news group, editorial group, distribution group, printing group, and cultural group. How about you join the editorial group?"
Gu Yuehuai did not hesitate and nodded, "Thank you, editor-in-chief."
She was also feeling a little strange. She had originally thought that the workplace was full of intrigues and deceptions, and that if she barged in like this, she would always be excluded or block someone's way. However, she did not expect that on her first day at work, the editor-in-chief was very easy to talk to and did not make things difficult for her at all.
The editorial team is the most suitable group for her to perform, and the people in this group all occupy crucial positions and responsibilities, including photojournalists, text editors, proofreaders, typesetters and other employees, and she can be competent as an art editor.
Wei Luo nodded, stood up and said, "Well, I'll take you there."
The offices of Masses Daily were separated by rooms, and there were people coming and going. When the employees saw Wei Luo, they all greeted her and looked curiously at Gu Yuehuai who was following her.
Edit the group.
As an editorial team full of technical talents, the office occupied three rooms, which were divided into groups one, two and three. Gu Yuehuai was assigned to group three.
Wei Luo led her and pushed open the door into the group three office. As soon as they entered, everyone in the room looked over.
She said, "This is your new colleague, Comrade Gu Yuehuai, welcome everyone."
As soon as he finished speaking, loud applause broke out and everyone in the office stood up and looked at Gu Yuehuai with a smile.
Wei Luo raised his wrist to check the time on his watch, and said decisively: "Okay, Qinglan, take Xiao Gu to get her work uniform and badge, and let her get familiar with her job."
Hearing this, a sweet-looking girl with a ponytail agreed.
Wei Luo nodded, turned and left.
As soon as she left, the group three office exploded.
Everyone left their seats, gathered around Gu Yuehuai, and introduced themselves to each other.
"Hello, Comrade Gu. I'm Huang Binbin. I work as a text editor. You can call me Binbin!"
"New colleague, you are really good-looking. You must be very capable to be able to join our editorial team. What do you do?"
"It's been a long time since we've had new colleagues at Masses Daily. It's rare!"
“…”
Gu Yuehuai glanced at the colleagues in front of him who were showing good intentions one by one and curled the corners of his lips.
She bent down slightly, and said in a serious and polite tone: "You can just call me Yue Huai. I am here to do the work of art editor. I hope to work hand in hand with you in the future."
Huang Binbin was surprised and said, "Art editor? Wow, this is a scarce position, and our group three is in need of one!"
In this day and age, it is difficult for people to even study, let alone learn some special skills? In the Masses Daily, a good art editor is a hot commodity, and the salary is higher than other positions.
Huang Binbin continued to ask, "Yue Huai, where did you learn to paint? Did you go to high school? Or is there anyone in your family who can paint? How did you get into our Masses Daily?"
Before Gu Yuehuai could answer, Wan Qinglan squeezed over and stood in front of her and said, "Okay, Huang Binbin, you are such a chatterbox. Yuehuai just got here and hasn't adapted yet. Why are you asking so many questions?"
Hearing this, Huang Binbin smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.
Wan Qinglan turned around and smiled at Gu Yuehuai: "Yuehuai, let's go, I'll take you to get your work uniform and work badge."
Gu Yuehuai nodded: "Thank you."
The two of them left the office together, and Wan Qinglan said, "From now on, we'll all be colleagues. Don't be so polite. My name is Wan Qinglan, and I'm also a copy editor. There will be many areas for us to cooperate in the future."
Gu Yuehuai gave Wan Qinglan a faint smile.
This new colleague is not tall, has a round face and a sweet appearance. He has a bright and sunny aura, which makes people feel good about him. Other colleagues in the office are also very enthusiastic. It seems that future work will be much easier than imagined.
When Wan Qinglan saw Gu Yuehuai's smile, she was suddenly stunned: "Yuehuai, you are so beautiful."
Gu Yuehuai smiled, "Really?"
Wan Qinglan smacked her lips and said in a complicated tone, "Of course! I never lie! But, the most beautiful employee of our Masses Daily used to be Liu Qiang. Now that you are here, this title will definitely fall on you."
Gu Yuehuai narrowed his eyes slightly, keenly sensing the hint of pity in Wan Qinglan's tone.
It seems that the peaceful career she imagined will not last forever, Liu Qiang, the most beautiful girl?
Wan Qinglan pricked up her ears, waiting for Gu Yuehuai to ask about Liu Qiang, but after walking more than ten meters, there was no movement. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Gu Yuehuai: "Aren't you curious about who Liu Qiang is, Yuehuai?"
Gu Yuehuai shook his head with an indifferent expression, indeed without a trace of curiosity.
Wan Qinglan couldn't help but sigh. This kind of person with a lack of curiosity really made it impossible for someone like her who liked to keep people in suspense to use her talents. She felt very unfulfilled and depressed!
She was just about to talk in detail about the "Liu Qiang" in her mind when she arrived at the office.
Wan Qinglan could only temporarily suppress the urge to speak out and pulled Gu Yuehuai into the office, where they smoothly received their work uniforms and work badges. The uniforms of the Masses Daily were blue and very clean.
Gu Yuehuai hung his work badge around his neck. Inside the badge was his name written in pen: Editorial Group 3, Gu Yuehuai.
From then on, she became a real employee of Mass Daily.
