A female colleague came over and said, "Xiao Xu, do you want to go to the cafeteria together? It's your first day at work and you probably won't be able to find a place. Let's take you there!"
"No need." Xu Jingyi shook her head quickly, and then explained: "Our home is next to the newspaper office, I will go back for dinner later."
"Okay, let's go first. Don't forget to go to work at 2:30 in the afternoon."
"Okay, see you in the afternoon!"
In less than ten minutes, everyone in the office was gone, leaving only Xu Jingyi and Editor Li, who was still working.
While there was no one around, Xu Jingyi took out the bear biscuits from her backpack and knocked on the door of the editor-in-chief's office.
"Please come in!"
"Master, it's me."
Editor Li immediately smiled: "Xiao Xu, it's you, why didn't you go to the canteen? Did you forget to bring your food card? Why don't you use mine first?"
"No, master, I go home for lunch and don't need a food card." Xu Jingyi quickly explained.
"Oh, is your home very close?"
"Well, our home is in Jingzhiyuan community next to the newspaper office, less than ten minutes' walk..."
Editor Li nodded: "It's really close. Did you rent the house specially?"
"Yes, our family just moved to Yanjing. For convenience, we rented a house next to the newspaper office."
"Very good. You should go back and eat quickly. You can just go home directly after get off work. Master is not an old-fashioned person. You don't have to report everything to me."
Editor Li joked with a smile.
Xu Jingyi blushed with embarrassment, then took out a pack of bear biscuits from her pocket, and then gently placed it on the master's desk.
"Eh? Xiao Xu, what are you doing?"
Editor Li said with a puzzled look.
"When I went out in the morning, my mother prepared some snacks for me, but I never had time to eat them. Master, would you like to try them?"
Xu Jingyi said what she had planned for a long time.
"Okay, take it back quickly! Master is not a child. I will accept whatever snacks you want."
Editor Li pushed the small cloth bag outward.
"Master, just accept it. I'm going home to eat. Bye!"
Before Editor Li could refuse, Xu Jingyi rushed out of the office as if running away, forgetting to even close the door.
Editor Li smiled and shook his head. After all, he was a college student who had just stepped out of the society. He didn't even know how to give gifts, and his unfamiliarity was evident in everything.
She casually picked up the small cloth bag in front of her and weighed it in her palms. It weighed about a pound. This "apprenticeship ceremony" looked really heavy!
I don’t know what kind of snack it is?
Thinking of this, she immediately opened the bag and was shocked by the contents inside.
It was actually a bag full of bear biscuits.
She rubbed her eyes vigorously, but what she saw was still the fragrant bear biscuits, and they did not turn into dried sweet potatoes as she imagined.
This kid is too honest.
Editor Li couldn't wait to taste a piece of bear biscuit. It was sweet and crunchy. It tasted exactly like the one in his memory. It was so delicious that it was touching. This is probably the taste of happiness!
…
Time flies by very quickly, and it’s March in the blink of an eye. After half a month of adjustment, Xu Jingyi has completely integrated into the new environment.
This is all thanks to Editor Li. Under his diligent care, our talented Xu girl has made rapid progress and has completed several press releases one after another.
Among all the interns, he is far ahead.
March 5th was originally the Waking of Insects in the 24 solar terms, which meant that the weather was getting warmer and the spring thunder began to roar, marking the beginning of the mid-spring season.
Unfortunately, everything went to hell during the drought.
Early in the morning, as soon as Xu Jingyi arrived at the newspaper office, she was called into the office by Editor Li.
"Master, are you going out for interviews again today?"
"Well, pack up quickly and set off with me later," Editor Li ordered.
"Hey, Master, you actually ended up in person. It seems to be big news?"
Xu Jingyi asked curiously.
Editor Li waved his hand: "Don't wait any longer. You'll know when you get there. Today's news is very important and there can't be any mistakes."
"Yes, then I'll go back and prepare."
Xu Jingyi suddenly became serious.
Half an hour later, the group got into a taxi.
There are only a limited number of buses in the newspaper office, less than ten in total. For daily interviews like theirs, they basically have to take a taxi.
After getting on the bus, Editor Li reported the address directly:
"Sister, go to Dayang Road Coca-Cola Bread Factory."
"Cough cough cough..."
Xu Jingyi was drinking water. When she heard this familiar address, she was so excited that she choked.
Editor Li quickly patted his beloved disciple on the back:
"Drink slowly, you are such a big person, you can still choke on water."
Xu Jingyi immediately waved her hand: "Master, I'm fine. Where did you just say you were going?"
"Xiao Xu, Editor Li is talking about Dayang Road Coca-Cola Bread Factory."
The photographer on the side answered helpfully.
"Are you really going to the Coke Bakery Factory?"
Editor Li glanced at his apprentice in surprise: "Why, have you been there?"
Xu Jingyi nodded subconsciously.
"Been there, I have two cousins who work there, and..."
"And what?"
"and……"
Xu Jingyi's personality has always been very calm, and she is not the kind of person who likes to show off. Originally, she didn't want to say it, but she was afraid of meeting her grandparents, so she was very entangled.
"Huh?" Editor Li urged.
"Okay, let me tell you the truth, my grandma is actually the general manager of the Coke Bread Factory."
Editor Li was shocked and asked quickly:
"Zhang Xiudi, Mr. Zhang, your grandmother? So the Coca-Cola Bread Factory is run by your family?"
"Yes, my grandma's name is Zhang Xiudi, but the bakery belongs to my uncle's family, and my grandma is just a name."
"Tsk, tsk, Xiao Xu, I didn't expect you to be fair, rich and beautiful?" the photographer uncle said in surprise.
Xu Jingyi blushed: "Uncle Fan, I am so rich and beautiful, so don't laugh at me."
Editor Li didn't have too many surprises. She had already guessed that her beloved apprentice had an unusual background. If the apprentice's family didn't have any foundation, they couldn't give her snacks every now and then.
I just didn’t expect that the other party had such a big background.
She had been to the Coca-Cola Bread Factory once before. It was the opening of the bakery, and several big names in the city attended the opening ceremony.
Over the next year or so, the bread factory expanded again and again, growing almost explosively and often appearing in the news.
"Xiao Xu, since Mr. Zhang is your grandma, you can introduce her to me later. I have long wanted to do an exclusive interview with Mr. Zhang, but I have never been able to find the opportunity."
Xu Jingyi smiled bitterly and said: "Master, it's not necessary. My grandma is just an ordinary old woman, and she doesn't like to be interviewed."
Editor Li shook his head gently.
"Mr. Zhang is not an ordinary person. She is now the representative figure of our Yanjing business women. Many people want to know Mr. Zhang. Please don't be humble for your grandma."
"I really can't make the decision..."
"It's okay, you just need to help the master pull the strings, and I will do the rest myself."
