Chapter 143 Who can get this job?
Have a good night's sleep.
In the morning, Gu Yuehuai prepared breakfast and Gu Tinghuai took her to work at Huangying Commune on time.
Gu Tinghuai handed the half-person-high backpack to Gu Yuehuai: "If you are busy or get off work late in the evening, I will pick you up."
Gu Yuehuai nodded: "Brother, please come back soon. It will be late for work."
She watched Gu Tinghuai leave before carrying her backpack into the office. Wan Qinglan had not arrived yet, and Huang Binbin was sitting at his workstation yawning, writing and drawing with a pen in his hand, looking like he was slacking off.
Gu Yuehuai put the backpack at his feet, picked up the illustrations, left Editorial Group 3, and went to the office of Editor-in-Chief Wei Luo.
Before she knocked on the door, she heard an argument in the office. The protagonists of the argument were Wei Luo and an unfamiliar middle-aged male voice, and the source of the argument was the design and binding of ancient poetry illustrations for a picture book that was about to be published by the Masses Daily.
"Editor-in-Chief Wei, Liu Qiang learned painting in Zhoulan City and is one of the most famous art editors in the Masses Daily. Let me ask you, in the Masses Daily, who is more qualified and experienced than her?"
Gu Yuehuai's eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Wei Luo was already having a headache because of Liu Yizhou's noise, so when he heard the knock on the door, he immediately responded and let the person in.
Gu Yuehuai pushed the door open and looked at the two people sitting on the sofa in a tense atmosphere.
One of them was the editor-in-chief Wei Luo, who had a frail figure and a melancholy temperament, and the other was a well-dressed middle-aged man. She didn't need to guess to know that the man who strongly recommended Liu Qiang was Liu Yizhou, the deputy editor-in-chief of Masses Daily.
"Xiao Gu?" Wei Luo was stunned for a moment when he saw Gu Yuehuai, and subconsciously glanced at Liu Yizhou in front of him.
Gu Yuehuai nodded and said, "Editor-in-chief, I have completed all the work in the group. I heard that our Masses Daily also publishes some children's books and news picture books on a daily basis. Is there anything I can help with?"
When Wei Luo heard this, he looked at Gu Yuehuai with some surprise.
Gu Yuehuai naturally couldn't allow himself to be a talker, so he handed a stack of illustrations to Wei Luo: "Editor-in-chief, this is the draft I drew in the past two days, please take a look."
Wei Luo took the illustrations and looked at them one by one, and couldn't help but reveal some appreciation in his eyes.
She has been an editor for more than ten years and has worked with many art editors, but she has to say that Gu Yuehuai can be regarded as one of the best. The lifelike horses in the illustrations, the smiling faces facing the sun, and the eagles soaring with wings spread, each one is very detailed and vivid. You can get the whole picture by just looking at a corner, which makes people's hearts clear.
Liu Yizhou frowned and looked at Gu Yuehuai, then looked at the illustration manuscript that Wei Luo was staring at. He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He leaned over to take a look, and his heart sank.
Although he intended to help his daughter Liu Qiang get the job of publishing picture books of ancient poems and let her make some achievements so as to improve her status in the unit, it must be said that Liu Qiang's writing skills were far inferior to those of Gu Yuehuai.
He sat up straight and glanced at Gu Yuehuai: "Are you the Gu Yuehuai recommended by Secretary Qin?"
Gu Yuehuai smiled. He asked this question even though he knew the answer, to point out that she got here through connections.
"Deputy Editor, you are joking. Recommendation? I thought it was because Secretary Qin valued my ability and Masses Daily happened to be in need of talent like me, so Secretary Qin acted as a middleman, making connections. How could it be a recommendation?"
Gu Yuehuai has never been a soft persimmon. She came here just to let Wei Luo assign her some work and make some achievements, preferably to get the position of leader of the third editing group. Unfortunately, she just happened to bump into Liu Yizhou.
Of course, in the workplace, what you want to achieve depends on your own ability.
If Liu Qiang took the job because of her connections, she would have nothing to say.
Liu Yizhou's face darkened and he stared at Gu Yuehuai with displeasure. He naturally knew that such a person had been parachuted in, but since the other party was from the countryside, he did not take it seriously. Now it seems that he is an enemy who is difficult to deal with.
Just as he was about to speak, Wei Luo said, "Okay, Editor-in-Chief Liu, you go back first. We can talk about it later if there is anything."
Liu Zhouyi was anxious: "Editor-in-Chief Wei!"
He knew very well that these were all polite words, such as "let's talk later". Gu Yuehuai was standing here watching her hungrily, waiting for her to leave the office. He was afraid that when the dust settled, Liu Qiang wouldn't even be able to drink a sip of soup!
Wei Luo raised his eyelids and looked at Liu Yizhou without saying a word.
Liu Zhou paused for a moment, thinking it was bad luck. He then glared at Gu Yuehuai fiercely and left the office angrily.
Gu Yuehuai's face was calm, and he was not frightened by him at all.
She has experienced a lot, so why would she be afraid of the threat from a deputy editor-in-chief?
Wei Luo closed the sketch, glanced at the calm and composed Gu Yuehuai, and said with a smile: "Xiao Gu, your ability is beyond doubt, I trust you very much, how about this, I have a news picture book here, you can take it back and try to add some illustrations."
The picture book of ancient poetry is a top priority task recently, so it cannot be handed over to just one person.
She needs to think about this matter and discuss it with other editors in the unit. As for who will get the job in the end, it is still unknown. However, it is undeniable that if this task can be completed perfectly, it will be a help to everyone.
Gu Yuehuai did not show any disappointment because she did not get the job of the ancient poetry picture book. She calmly took the news picture book handed over by Wei Luo: "Editor-in-chief, rest assured, I will complete it well."
After saying that, Gu Yuehuai did not stay any longer and left the editor-in-chief's office with the picture book and illustrations.
Wei Luo looked at her back, raised his eyebrows, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Just wait and see, there will be more trouble regarding the ancient poetry picture book.
Gu Yuehuai was content with his job. As soon as he returned to the office of the third editing team, he threw himself into his intensive work, making Wan Qinglan, who came late, look at him with a frown.
Huang Binbin sighed towards Wan Qinglan and shook his head, "Hurry up and get to work."
Wan Qinglan curled her lips, took out a pen and paper, and began racking her brains to write.
The atmosphere in the office was peaceful, and Gu Yuehuai also liked this undisturbed atmosphere.
It was not until she got off work in the evening that she said goodbye to her colleagues, carrying her backpack.
On the way back, he did not forget to go into the uninhabited woods, took out rice, flour and peanuts from the Sumeru space, and put them in the backpack. From now on, he would start preparing supplies so that the family would not have to worry about food during the New Year.
For a long time afterwards, Gu Yuehuai lived a life that went back and forth between two points.
Her room has become a food storage room, with bags of rice and flour neatly stacked together. The plump and round peanuts are also taken to the oil mill by Gu Tinghuai to be squeezed into cans of fragrant edible peanut oil.
A month passed in a flash, the temperature dropped a lot, and it started snowing in early winter.
