Chapter 463: Hot Cake
“…”
Lu Miao swallowed inaudibly.
There was no change in his facial expression, but he was already sweating inside.
Regarding the recommendation letter, she had previously imagined what the situation would be like after meeting Director Ma.
But because the probability was not very high, she didn't take it seriously.
But who could have thought?
Translators were scarce in the 1970s, but the circle was not that small.
Such a low-probability event, but it just happened!
"This young comrade is quite extraordinary. He helped me a lot last year."
Director Ma didn't notice Lu Miao's nervousness. He smiled and patted Liu Shouyi's shoulder, explaining:
"She came here to study, and it was inconvenient for her to come to my place, so I wrote her a letter of recommendation and asked her to come here... Ouch."
Director Ma changed the subject and glanced between Lu Miao and Liu Shouyi, finally landing on Liu Shouyi curiously:
"How did you two meet? What's your connection?"
Director Ma said jokingly.
Just now, Liu Shouyi also called Lu Miao "Comrade Xiao Lu", and Director Ma heard it.
When Liu Shouyi heard that Director Ma knew Lu Miao, he was very excited.
But when Director Ma asked about the "origin" between him and Lu Miao, Liu Shouyi swallowed hard and sweat broke out on his forehead.
Liu Shouyi scratched the back of his head, feeling embarrassed and at a loss, as if time had gone back decades and he was back to being Teacher Ma's student.
"Comrade Xiao Lu came here looking for a job as an interpreter..."
Halfway through his words, Liu Shouyi suddenly remembered something, as if fireworks had exploded in his head.
etc--!
Letter of recommendation...come this way?
This side refers to?
Could it be that his teacher recommended Comrade Xiao Lu to join the Sibao News Agency?
Liu Shouyi's eyes suddenly widened.
I used to think that I had missed a good seedling and a good helper, but now I suddenly realize that I seemed to have made a big mistake.
This unexpected meeting today caused Lu Miao and Liu Shouyi to over-interpret time.
Director Ma saw Liu Shouyi's expression as if he had seen a ghost, and he sighed, frowning and asking seriously:
"Why, you don't like her?"
“…”
Thinking that the person might have been recommended to him in the first place, Liu Shouyi was silent for a while, not knowing how to explain it.
After a long while, he stammered:
"No, no, it's not that I don't like him, it's that Comrade Xiao Lu doesn't like us..."
The "Comrade Xiao Lu" who was mentioned shuddered again.
Meeting Director Ma's gaze, Lu Miao's lips curled up, but the corners of his mouth trembled, making it difficult to maintain a smile.
Lu Miao thought that the letter was from Director Ma asking her to come to Sitong News Agency, and she was also thinking that Director Ma must be feeling bad now that the matter has developed to this point.
Maybe he would even think she was ungrateful.
Just as he was hesitating and feeling awkward, Director Ma suddenly laughed heartily, pushed up his glasses, patted Liu Shouyi and said:
"Don't be discouraged, I've arranged a better place for her. The fact that she didn't go to your place isn't necessarily because she's not compatible."
Director Ma was still laughing heartily, "Hahahaha", but Lu Miao and Liu Shouyi were both stunned.
etc.
A better place...
Regarding the recommendation letter, it wasn't for the Sibao News Agency. Could it be...
For People's Literature Publishing House?
The more he thought about it, the more Lu Miao breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this matter was a bit complicated, it turned out to be a good thing and seemed to have been resolved.
Liu Shouyi was not in such a good mood.
It's so rare to find someone reliable and helpful, but the teacher didn't even think of him first!
Liu Shouyi sighed and felt sad. He also knew in his heart that there were few available manpower at this stage.
Good talents are in great demand. Once they are available, they will be sent to places with large demand gaps.
Everyone understood the logic, but Liu Shouyi still felt very unfair.
This won’t do. He has to talk to the teacher about it in private later!
Only the crying child gets the candy.
It doesn’t matter that the teacher didn’t consider him this time.
After he finishes howling, the teacher will definitely think of him next time.
Liu Shouyi was thinking about something in his mind, while Director Ma and Lu Miao were already comforting each other and exchanging pleasantries.
"How is it? You're still in school. Can you find the time and energy to keep up with the progress there?"
"It's not bad."
"Ha ha."
Director Ma's face flashed with relief, and his smile became more genuine:
"The pace over there is very stressful. You will definitely not be able to adapt when you first arrive. If you have any problems, you can go to Teacher Tan and she will arrange some adjustments for you."
The work at the publishing house is not bad, the distribution is quite humane.
Lu Miao didn't feel the pressure of the rhythm was too great.
But after careful consideration, she smiled gently and nodded in agreement:
"I know, Director Ma."
Director Ma nodded, thinking that it was the weekend and it was already this late, and she might still have manuscript assignments to complete, so he didn't bother her any more.
Director Ma patted her shoulder gently, speaking in a friendly tone, like an old father who hopes his son will become a dragon and his daughter will become a phoenix:
"Come on, work hard. When I'm free, I'll take some time to visit you."
Lu Miao was stunned, feeling embarrassed but also subtly moved.
Speaking of which, the person she met when she entered the industry was Director Ma.
It is thanks to Director Ma’s encouragement, praise and recommendation that I have come this far.
Director Ma is not young anymore, so she should be the one to visit him when she has time. Why is she asking him to visit her instead?
"Don't be so busy, I'll come to see you when I have a holiday."
Director Ma waved his hands and said angrily, "Hey," "You have serious things to do, don't waste time on other things. Listen to the old man, work hard, and work hard!"
Lu Miao had no choice but to nod.
Director Ma smiled with satisfaction and waved his hand at her with satisfaction:
"Are you going to wait for the bus? Go ahead and don't waste time."
Lu Miao leaned forward slightly and bowed slightly to Director Ma and Liu Shouyi:
"Then...see you later."
Director Ma waved goodbye.
Liu Shouyi followed suit and waved his hand.
After watching Lu Miao get on the bus, Director Ma nodded with satisfaction, turned around and went to the newspaper office with Liu Shouyi.
Liu Shouyi had a lot of thoughts in mind, but now he couldn't help himself:
"Teacher, why don't you think of arranging something for me? I've been doing the translation work for the newspaper on my own, slowly."
"You can finish your little work by yourself if you persevere. Why do you need to take up such good seedlings?"
At that time, in front of Lu Miao, Director Ma spoke to Liu Shouyi politely, but now he is directly using brand names.
There are jobs in newspapers, but they are all fringe entertainment in nature.
Talented people must be sent to government agencies.
Liu Shouyi opened his mouth and suddenly stopped.
Seeing that the teacher didn't wait for him, he widened his eyes and took the initiative to catch up:
"I have a huge gap there. How can I finish it all by myself?"
Not to mention him alone, even with the addition of Wang Mian who was recommended by Lu Miao, the working hours are still tight.
It takes a long time to complete it every week.
