Chapter 5: The Mountain Has Trees and You Have Interests Yu Nansheng03
"Nan Sheng, what's the matter with your article?" Sister Lin questioned me while holding up a report. I looked down at the tip of my shoes, remembering the time when I was ridiculed for wearing high heels on my first day at work, and I began to daydream again without realizing it.
"Yu Nansheng!"
"Ah!" I suddenly came back to my senses, stared at Sister Lin for a long time, and finally remembered that I was being criticized.
I stood up straight, smiling awkwardly: "Sister Lin, I know I was wrong, I will definitely pay attention next time, I will take it back and correct it now!"
I walked up to Sister Lin and took the draft from her. She looked at me, sighed, and continued, "Nan Sheng, what's wrong with you recently? Look, you had problems when you were interviewing, when you were taking photos, and even when you were writing a simple newsletter! If you didn't notice this during proofreading, what would happen after it's published?"
I knew that everyone in the hall outside the glass window behind me was listening, but I was not in the mood to think about it. I held the manuscript I had written, looked up and said, "I will reflect on it." After that, I bowed and turned to leave.
When I passed by Qi Qi, she called me nervously, but maybe because my expression was too scary, her voice was very low.
I shook my head to indicate that I was fine.
Back in the office, Shen Yuxi was sitting at her desk, looking at something on the computer. When she saw me come in, she didn't say anything. She just glanced at me and continued with her own work.
I stared at the manuscript in my hand for a long time. I knew that this manuscript was needed urgently, so I worked overtime to write it. But I didn't expect that such a simple thing would be ruined by me . After so many years of internship, I haven't made any progress at all.
Am I really not suitable to be a reporter as Shen Yuxi said at the beginning?
During this period, Lu Shuang not only did the previous topics, but also did several exclusives, and the newspaper was full of praise for her. At the same time, the fact that I was scolded easily attracted attention. Everyone was comparing me with Lu Shuang, and the words they said were a bit unpleasant, but I didn't care.
Qi Qi said that Lu Shuang was now a popular figure around Han Shao. Although she was still an intern, she was already qualified to be a working reporter. He took her with him every time he went for an interview. Although there might be some minor problems with the manuscript, there were no major mistakes. Sister Lin was also very optimistic about her.
On the contrary, I have been scolded a lot recently, so other colleagues will naturally gossip about me.
"Nan Sheng, are you and the editor-in-chief really related?"
When Shen Yuxi was out, Qi Qi came in to comfort me and also talked to me for a few words.
I was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Who told you?"
I have never told Qi Qi about this.
She rolled her eyes. "Now in the newspaper office, all the topics of conversation every day are about you and Lu Shuang. Internship students like us who have no name or surname can hear several versions of the story just by listening to the gossip."
Just then, Shen Yuxi walked in from the tea room and saw Qi Qi sitting at my desk.
Qi Qi quickly jumped down, stuck out his tongue and prepared to run away.
"It's good to just listen to this." When Qi Qi walked to the door, Shen Yuxi's voice rang out.
Qi Qi has been out for a long time, and I am still working hard on revising the manuscript. I have nothing else to do recently. Sister Lin said that I am not in good condition, so I should not go out for interviews. But to my surprise, Shen Yuxi has not been out much recently, and most of the time she just sits in the office and stares at the computer.
I don't know what he is looking at.
"Master, do you want some coffee? I'll make it for you."
Shen Yuxi likes to drink coffee, but he doesn't like instant coffee. He doesn't know how to make it. He's not used to the coffee machine at the newspaper office, and the coffee he makes every time doesn't taste as good as mine. Since I came here, I've basically been responsible for making coffee.
I looked at the boiled water in his cup and stood up to go to the tea room.
"You are a reporter. It's not your turn to do these jobs. Just revise your manuscript." He took a sip of water and said to me.
I said "hmm" and sat down to continue revising the manuscript.
"Don't care what others say, just do your own thing." Shen Yuxi said.
My typing hands paused and I turned my head to look at Shen Yuxi.
Outside the window behind him was a large patch of shade, with leaves falling occasionally, but all I could see was him.
"Master, are you disappointed in me?" I endured for a long time and finally asked.
I wanted to ask him this question after the topic selection meeting, but I didn't dare to speak up. I was afraid of hearing an answer I didn't want to hear. What should I do if Shen Yuxi is disappointed in me?
He seemed not to have expected me to ask this. He was stunned for a moment and frowned.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked coldly.
I crossed my hands on my legs, my palms were full of sweat, and asked nervously, "Master, I lost the topic selection election before, and I'm in a bad state recently. Have you ever been disappointed in me?" My tone was full of nervousness and seriousness.
He looked up at me and said word by word: "That doesn't mean anything. You are still you."
I'm still me.
I never thought Shen Yuxi would say something like this, and I burst out laughing.
I suddenly understood why I had become like this recently. I was still afraid of becoming worthless in Shen Yuxi's heart. I was afraid that he would look down on me.
That night, after everyone had left, I was still sitting in the office staring at the computer. The dim light made my eyes hurt a lot.
"Are you waiting to die suddenly in the newspaper office?"
The person who came in turned out to be Lu Shuang. I was a little surprised, then nodded and said, "I'm leaving now. What about you? Why haven't you finished get off work yet?"
She crossed her arms and sneered, "Yes, but I work overtime because I'm busy, and you work overtime because you're bored."
I didn't ignore the ridicule in Lu Shuang's tone, but I didn't know how to refute it. Just when I thought she would continue to mock, she suddenly said: "You are not going to give up so quickly? This is not like the Yu Nansheng I know."
The rumors in the newspaper were still there, but I didn't care much. Sister Lin's order not to publish news was still there, so I could only do some simple work in the office every day, just like when I first came to the newspaper. Qi Qi complained that even Lu Shuang didn't do such work now, but she still noticed that my mood was much better.
"She is busy with the news, and I don't have to. But I think it's also good to not have to go out early and come back late, and stay in the office and go to and from get off work on time every day!" When I said this, I was making coffee for Shen Yuxi.
Qi Qi didn't even want to roll her eyes anymore. She pulled my ear and said, "Auntie, can you have some fighting spirit? Didn't you hear what those people in the newspaper said? They said that you only got into the newspaper because of the editor-in-chief's relationship, and that you only stayed here today because of Shen Yuxi. Don't you feel bad?"
I thought about it and replied with a smile, "So what? They have their own mouths, so we can only let them say whatever they want."
"You're really going to piss me off! Rumors are terrible, okay? By the way, why do I find you always smiling at Lu Shuang these days? Are you too stimulated?"
Qi Qi has some opinions about Lu Shuang. Regardless of how Lu Shuang treats me now, she always has a blank expression on her face, as if everyone owes her something. Qi Qi has a lot of opinions about her, and it is very obvious in her daily life.
I remembered what Lu Shuang said that night, and laughed again, whispering, "They say that pressure brings motivation. Lu Shuang puts pressure on me, so I'm naturally motivated! You know what, Lu Shuang is actually quite interesting."
Qi Qi looked at me as if she had seen a ghost, touched my forehead, then touched her own, and muttered, "You don't have a fever. Women's hearts are like needles in the sea!"
"Okay, we are all like needles in the sea, but you are the one who fishes in the sea, okay? Get out of the way! It's scalding." I made three cups of coffee, left one for Qi Qi, and took the other two to Shen Yuxi's office, leaving one for him on the table, and then walked out.
"Here, for you."
Lu Shuang was busy selecting photos. When she saw me come in, she was stunned for a moment. After smelling the coffee, she pointed to the only empty space on the table and said, "Leave it there."
After I put it down, I said, "Try it. Shen Yuxi and Qi Qi both said that the coffee I brew is the best in the newspaper office."
In fact, Shen Yuxi would never praise me like this. Every time she saw me doing something like making coffee, she would ask me back, "Is there no news left in this world?"
In fact, after he drank the coffee I brewed, he never drank instant coffee again, nor did he drink coffee brewed by others.
Lu Shuang shifted her gaze from me to the coffee, opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
"By the way, this one is more suitable for your topic." Before leaving, I pointed to a photo on her right and said.
She looked at it, raised the corners of her lips, and said with a smile: "Do you need me to tell you? Mind your own business, I can choose it myself."
She put down the other photo in her hand, took a sip of coffee, raised her eyebrows and said, "Close the door for me, thank you."
"good."
"Nan Sheng, reporter Shen wants you to go to him. He has first-hand information, and Sister Lin has agreed. You should go there quickly!" As soon as I walked out of the meeting room, I saw Qi Qi running towards me with his cell phone in hand.
I was stunned for a moment and asked, "Did Sister Lin agree?"
"Yeah, hurry up!"
I lowered my head and took a deep breath.
"good."
I stood on this side of the street and looked at Shen Yuxi. He had a unique charm during the interview. Even if he didn't say anything, just standing there and looking at him from afar, he would feel so beautiful.
"What are you standing there for? Come over here." Shen Yuxi saw me and waved at me.
I don’t know how long I have to stand by Shen Yuxi’s side before I can stand on my own, but I want to stay close to him for a long time.
"Master, will you never be disappointed in me?"
While Shen Yuxi was flipping through the camera, she glanced at me, turned her head away and didn't say anything. But it was this silence and quietness that made me feel at ease.
"I will be a good reporter." I said this, and seemed to see the corners of Shen Yuxi's lips slightly raised.
