Chapter 70 Idle
The two of them walked towards the cafeteria with their lunch boxes. Li Yue asked, "How do you know where the cafeteria is?"
Ye Qian was speechless: "Is there any need to ask? It's dinner time now, everyone should just grab their lunch boxes and follow the crowd."
Listening to Ye Qian's answer, Li Yue suddenly felt that her question was so stupid.
The two were walking on the road, and before they reached the cafeteria, they saw a familiar figure looking at them in a daze.
Seeing her like this, Ye Qian found it a little funny, so she greeted him: "You are the deputy director's secretary, right? Hello, long time no see."
Only then did the secretary react: "Well, yes, long time no see."
Ye Qian was busy going to eat and said, "I'm going to eat first. See you next time."
It wasn't until Ye Qian left that the secretary realized why she was here. Gu Jinyan had asked her about him before. Was it him who transferred her here? Should she tell Gu Jinyan that she was here?
The secretary had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he just couldn't figure it out. He was also struggling with whether to tell Gu Jinyan that Ye Qian was also in the Grain Bureau.
At this time, Ye Qian had already arrived at the cafeteria. Looking at the dishes on the small blackboard at the back, she thought the food was really good.
Ye Qian ordered a bowl of rice, a plate of fried shredded potatoes, and a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Don’t underestimate these vegetables. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes are a rare dish. Eggs are so hard to buy. This meal is much better than the boiled cabbage and stir-fried cabbage in the grain factory.
Ye Qian and Li Yue took their food and found an empty seat to sit down. The cafeteria was crowded with people, many of whom had permed hair, but some of them did not have bangs.
Ye Qian herself couldn't believe that so many people would have the same hairstyle. Nowadays, everyone wears similar clothes. Who can tell who is who when they stand together?
At this time, the secretary was still hesitating whether to tell Gu Jinyan, but after seeing Gu Jinyan's face, the word "whether" was thrown away, and she told Gu Jinyan directly.
When Gu Jinyan heard the secretary say Ye Qian was here, he really couldn't remember: "Who?"
After asking, I suddenly thought, isn't it that little girl? Why is she here?
"Go ask her what she's doing here."
The secretary was very efficient and soon came to tell Gu Jinyan: "Ye Qian is here to study for three months and has been assigned to the trade union."
After hearing this, Gu Jinyan nodded and asked the secretary to leave.
Gu Jinyan put down the pen in his hand and leaned back in his chair.
After hearing what Gu Jinyan said, the secretary felt that her choice was right. Gu Jinyan had never cared about other girls.
Gu Jinyan didn't know why he asked the little girl what she was doing there, but he just wanted to find out her whereabouts.
If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. Gu Jinyan didn't dwell on it and continued working.
Ye Qian finished her lunch and walked out of the cafeteria with Li Yue.
On the first day of work, it is definitely better to go early than late. The two of them went straight back to the office with their washed lunch boxes in their hands.
After Ye Qian returned, the people from the union had not arrived yet, so Ye Qian fetched some water and wiped her desk and chairs, which she had not done in the morning. After the desk and chairs were wiped clean, the four of them returned together.
Ye Qian greeted the four people, and Xu Yaoyao showed Ye Qian some information about the union. She spent the entire afternoon reading the information.
Li Yue had also received the key to her dormitory, which was also a single room, but not very close to Ye Qian. The two of them had dinner first, went to Ye Qian's dormitory to get their luggage, and then returned to Li Yue's dormitory together. The interior of the room was exactly the same as Ye Qian's. After Ye Qian recognized the door, she returned to her own dormitory.
After washing up, Ye Qian lay down directly.
Well, it turns out that my own things are more comfortable.
Have a good night.
I wasn't bothered at all by the change of place of living.
The next morning, Ye Qian arrived at the union to work on time, and everyone greeted her warmly.
Ye Qian doesn't have any work at the moment, she just looks at information.
It took me a week to read the information.
This week, Ye Qian has figured out everyone's job. Xu Yaoyao issued the letter of introduction, Jiang Sha and Dong Jing distributed the benefits, and Li Manyu was responsible for field work and mediation. If they were too busy, Jiang Sha and Dong Jing would also take on some responsibilities.
This means that the union is short of someone who can write articles, and that would be perfect for me.
The Grain Bureau is different from the factory. It is not called a factory newspaper, but a blackboard newspaper. It is also updated once a week. The blackboard newspaper requires not only articles but also drawings. This thing is like the blackboard newspapers used by students in later generations. I also drew them when I was a student in later generations, so I am very familiar with it.
This is a matter that is rotated among the union personnel, and it seems that no one is willing to do it, which is exactly what I want. Now I just have to find a way to get it done.
Just like when she was in the grain factory union, Ye Qian wrote an article and handed it to Xu Yaoyao. A week passed and Xu Yaoyao ignored her.
Ye Qian was a little anxious at first. It was not a good idea to sit like this all day. Then she accidentally saw the newspaper on Li Manyu's desk.
Ye Qian picked up the newspaper and flipped through it. There were many columns in the newspaper. After flipping through a few pages, Ye Qian found that newspapers of this era also had serialized novels, but they were not well written.
Of course, today’s novels are not romance novels, they are all XXXX. I have also watched this type of TV series in later generations, so it should not be too difficult to write this type of novel.
Ye Qian wrote down the address of the publishing house and found that it was in this city.
After Ye Qian finished writing down the address, she took out a notebook and started writing the outline of the novel.
Ye Qian was busy all afternoon. Everyone saw what Ye Qian was writing, but no one asked, after all, they were not very familiar with each other.
Ye Qian is not stupid enough to use her working hours to write novels every day. She only spends half a day to write an outline.
Ye Qian can write 2,000 words during her lunch break every day. It’s not possible to write purely by hand, so it’s good enough if she can write 2,000 words.
In the afternoon, she quickly finished her meal and went back to the dormitory to write a novel. She could write 3,000 words at night, and 5,000 words a day. By the weekend, Ye Qian had finished writing 30,000 words. After leaving the Grain Bureau, she was ready to send it out. No matter whether it would succeed or not, she would give it a try.
In the afternoon, Ye Qian packed her bag, left the Grain Bureau, and took the bus to the post office.
Now you have to go to the post office to send letters. After Ye Qian arrived at the post office, she bought a large bundle of stationery envelopes and stamps, and then sent the letter out.
Ye Qian asked the person at the post office, and he said that the delivery to this city will be very fast and a batch will be sent out tomorrow, and it is estimated that it will arrive the next day or the day after tomorrow.
Ye Qian felt that this was about right. Even in the future, express delivery within the same city would sometimes take the next or third day to arrive.
