Chapter 3: Whales in the Blue Sea Yu Nansheng04
Qi Qi bit the energy bar, feeling extremely conflicted.
She stared at the copywriting and planning format on the computer screen, sighed, and said, "Nan Sheng, Nan Sheng, Nan Sheng..."
I rolled my eyes, quickly called a stop, waved my hand and threw the folder on the table over, taking advantage of the opportunity to take a break before Shen Yuxi summoned me.
"I'm telling you , if our team loses this planning..."
I paused and said weakly, "Then lose."
Qi Qi threw a mug at me in frustration and said, "Can't you have a little more ambition? What do you mean by losing? Just lose! Look at how Senior Han and his team have been working hard these past two days to prepare for the campaign for this planning topic!"
I leaned over the table and glanced at her.
"Don't I get up early and work late? In such cold weather, I arrive before dawn every day! I come earlier than the uncle who opens the door! I tell you, the way the uncle who opens the door looks at me now makes me feel like I'm stealing his job. It's so scary!"
"Meeting!" The assistant editor shouted, and Qi Qi and I sat up straight at the same time. We looked at each other, and there was a sense of life and death in our eyes.
Sitting in the conference room, Qi Qi leaned close to my ear and asked, "Hey, did your master tell you what the punishment will be if you fail this time?"
punish?
I looked at Shen Yuxi who was sitting next to editor-in-chief Sister Lin with some fear, swallowed, covered my mouth with the folder and said to her: "Don't scare me, I tell you, my topic this time is very meaningful, and it was finalized after the approval of Master and Reporter Xie, so there should be no problem." After the last undercover investigation in the restaurant kitchen, I found that many places have the phenomenon of employing and abusing child labor. I want to conduct a basic investigation in S City on such matters.
"Did everyone hear the topics of the two groups clearly? Let's start voting now!" Sister Lin gave an order, and everyone grabbed the paper distributed before entering the door.
I glanced at Lu Shuang.
Lu Shuang's subject matter is as sharp as ever, reflecting on the bottom of society. To be honest, I am also very moved.
But I also spent several nights working overtime for a week to come up with the topic, and it is no worse than hers.
10 minutes passed.
I looked at Sister Lin with some trepidation. She frowned and stared at the result in her hand. It was hard to tell whether she was satisfied or not. Shen Yuxi had no expression on her face, but Han Shao had a faint smile on his face.
My heart sank.
"Lu Shuang, not bad."
The corners of Qi Qi's lips, which were originally raised, suddenly drooped.
According to previous experience, our group had an advantage, but we didn’t expect that Lu Shuang’s topic would be adopted.
My surprise only lasted for a moment. When I looked at Han Shao and Lu Shuang, my expression had returned to normal.
"So what you mean is that we have to accompany you to run around every corner of S City in the future? Run around wherever you want, right?" I just walked out of the office when I heard Qi Qi's voice and slapped my forehead.
After all, Qi Qi is in our group. Now that Lu Shuang has won, she will definitely speak on my side, and it would be bad if we start arguing.
There were many people standing in the editorial center's office, with Lu Shuang and Qi Qi standing in the middle.
Seeing me coming, many people made way for me.
Lu Shuang glanced at me and said provocatively, "What's wrong? If you lose, then find someone else to help you get justice. Miss Yu, let's talk based on our strength, okay?"
This voice of "Miss Yu" gave me a headache.
Before I could open my mouth, Qi Qi retorted, "Our Nan Sheng's strength is based on our works, unlike some people who come to the editorial center all day to show their affection and canvass for votes! I think you know very well whether it is based on strength or not!"
"I don't have strength? Then what do you think strength is, Miss Yu? Since ancient times, victors have been kings and losers have been bandits. This may sound a bit serious, but I still remember what Miss Yu said to me at the police station. I also want to be a person with boundless love like Miss Yu. Look, I'm helping Miss Yu save the world."
After she said that, she turned and left.
Shen Yuxi appeared behind me. I frowned and looked at Shen Yuxi with confusion in my eyes.
He just came out to get something.
"Master." I called him softly.
"The results are here. They were selected by the entire editorial center. The editor-in-chief said it was fair and just. You should not do useless things. You can start preparing now. Miss Lu's topic selection materials are already being photocopied. You should read them carefully. You may need our assistance when the time comes." After he said that, he turned and left. I stood in the middle without saying a word, and Qi Qi pulled me back to her seat.
Qi Qi handed me a bottle of collagen and comforted me, "Nan Sheng, it's okay. It's just a topic. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future! You are an intern under Shen Yuxi. You can't belittle yourself because of such a small matter!"
I neither nodded nor shook my head.
I suddenly felt that being Shen Yuxi's intern didn't seem to be anything special for me. It was just a nice title.
The air conditioner was whirring and I wasn't in the mood to even open a bottle.
"Yu Nansheng, come to the office." Shen Yuxi called out.
There were people whispering around, but when they heard Shen Yuxi calling me, they all quieted down.
I took a deep breath, put the small purple bottle on Qi Qi's desk, and walked into the office step by step, holding the information that the errand girl had just handed to me.
"Reporter Shen, what's the matter?" This is the only time I called him Reporter Shen recently.
He looked at me and said, "I need to do an interview. Please stay and import your topic into my computer. If you have nothing else to do this afternoon, please stay in the office. I will put the draft submitted by the new intern on your desk. Please revise it and give it to reporter Xie for review. Please finish it before the end of the get off work day and publish it tomorrow."
I looked at the desk slowly and saw a document on it.
Is he disappointed in me? He didn't even take me with him when he went out for an interview.
But I still said "hmm" and didn't argue.
Shen Yuxi glanced at me, took the camera and left.
I saw him go out with another reporter through the transparent glass window. Qi Qi stood up and waved at me, gesturing to ask if I could come in.
I nodded.
"Why didn't reporter Shen take you with him? Wang Xiaorou?" She seemed to be trying hard to recall who Wang Xiaorou was. After pausing for 10 seconds, she suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Isn't Wang Xiaorou the intern who graduated from Q University? She is always forgetful about things, and she actually asked you to correct the manuscript she submitted?"
I nodded weakly, opened the folder, and felt dizzy at the first glance.
After a moment's silence, I pursed my lips and said to Qi Qi, "My master must be very disappointed in me. I am a graduate of a formal school, but my planning skills are not as good as those of Lu Shuang, who just started late. I feel like I have wasted these years in college." My tone was indifferent, without any emotion .
Qi Qi was very angry: "Can you please have some fighting spirit?"
The red pen in my hand couldn't write a single word. I sighed, put the pen on the table, took the USB drive to Shen Yuxi's computer, and started importing my plan.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Qi Qi asked me.
I glanced at her and said, "My master asked me to put this plan into his computer. I guess he wants to study if there is any problem with my topic selection." Then I sighed.
Am I really not suited to being a journalist?
It was time to get off work, and I was still in the office correcting manuscripts. A manuscript of less than 3,000 words was almost unrecognizable after I revised it. I couldn't help but wonder if Shen Yuxi had such a headache when she was correcting my manuscript.
"Nan Sheng, are you still busy?" Reporter Xie knocked on the door and asked.
"Yes, I'm still revising the manuscript. Senior, I'm sorry to bother you these days." I thanked him.
Reporter Xie smiled and waved his hands: "Nothing, it's as it should be. As for you, don't take winning or losing too seriously, just get used to it."
Just get used to it? I was stunned for a moment, turned my head and saw Wang Xiaorou's manuscript on the table. I felt uncomfortable in my throat. I wanted to speak, but my voice was a little hoarse. It should be because the air in the air-conditioned room was too dry.
I asked reporter Xie: "Senior, do you think I am not suitable to be a reporter?"
He was slightly stunned. He didn't expect me to ask such a question.
"What did your master say to you?" He was a little confused.
I shook my head and said, "Master went out for an interview and didn't let me follow him."
He smiled, turned around and walked out, saying as he walked: "You, the master..."
