You only see the money of the rich, but not what they lack. - St. Augustine
——
In this way, Ruochu became a small editor of "Mirror" magazine. Because he had only half a semester to graduate, and he still had to prepare for his graduation thesis and defense, he often had to go back and forth between school and work, and he was very busy.
Although she will be treated like a probationary employee until graduation, she is still very satisfied and has the confidence to become a formal editor.
However, this does not mean that there are no worries. The conflict between studies and work does not bother her at all. The key is that the content of the work makes her a little frustrated.
At first, she went in with full confidence, ready to learn something, but in the end, all she was asked to do were some fragmented small columns, such as compiling next month's global film news to make a calendar, and excerpting some classic dialogues from movies and TV shows. Collections, collections of movie stars’ birthdays as reminders, and even being asked to write soft articles for advertisers.
At the beginning, she did as she was asked without saying a word. After all, as a newcomer, she didn't have the right to choose a job yet. If you want to be given an important job, you have to start small first, so that you can gain trust. Everyone takes it step by step. Those who have been here, Ruochu, can understand.
However, some large columns that other editors are responsible for will also ask her to search for information, leaving a lot of trivial and time-wasting work to her.
For example, if someone is doing an exclusive interview with a character, Ruochu has to prepare all the information about the character, but he asks a few questions and writes it down, and the article does not include Ruochu's name. Another example is when an editor makes an album of beautiful movies. I asked Ruochu to find dozens of related movies, and it would be fine if I just picked a few.
You may have an experience. For example, in cooking, most of the time is spent on preparation, and the chef is only responsible for the last process.
What Ruo Chu is doing now is to prepare materials for various chefs and do a lot of behind-the-scenes work. Any formal editor has the right to let her do that. It's okay that she has time, but when it comes to school, everything is done to her. When she piles up, it's inevitable that she will be exhausted.
At this time, if she has no emotions, then Qin Ruochu is not a human, but a god.
At one point, she wanted to talk to the deputy editor-in-chief about her troubles. It was the man sitting directly opposite her during the interview, and the other two people, the man was the chief writer, and the woman was the director of the marketing and distribution department. This was also the reason why Ruochu slowly came in. Just found out.
In the end, I endured it, not because I was afraid of leaving a bad impression on my boss, but because Ruochu was very good at adjusting my mentality by changing my thinking. Sometimes, if you change your perspective on a problem, you will have unexpected gains.
I started to feel that it was unfair, that I had paid too much and not received the rewards I deserved, that I was capable of doing more than just doing this, and even began to reflect on whether my choice was the right one, but then Ruochu stopped seeing it that way.
When you feel that you are being treated unfairly, when you feel that your efforts are not getting the rewards you deserve, don’t forget your long-term goals, and at the same time look back to see if there is any deviation from the original purpose. Don’t be fooled by the temporary Lost in emotions.
Ruochu thought of these at the right time. What was the purpose of joining in the first place? As a person who has just left school and entered the society with no work experience, learning professional skills in the first job is the most important. What do you rely on to learn? It can be said that the more things you are exposed to and the more things you do, the more you can learn.
So what is the long-term goal?
Of course, it is about finding the right position and realizing self-worth. This requires continuous accumulation and hard work.
Thinking about it this way, Ruochu is very happy that everyone is willing to ask her to do so many things, even though they are all unknown work, and although the leaders and readers may not see everything she does, it is precisely in this large number of seemingly unknown things that
During the labor of value, she gradually figured out the key points of operation of each column. If she were to compile this magazine independently now, it would not be impossible as long as she was given enough time. Wouldn't this be a huge gain?
After I calmed down, my perspective on people and things immediately changed. I accepted various tasks happily, and accepted all comers no matter how boring they were. This made me a good person.
Because there was a class in the morning, I rushed to the work after lunch that day. I haven’t dared to skip classes recently. Firstly, graduation is approaching and I have no chance to attend classes again. Secondly, if the professor finds out, I will tell my father Qin Bei.
Trouble is coming. Although it will come sooner or later, it is safer to come later.
Noon is usually a time for everyone to rest. The office area is usually very quiet at this time, but today is an exception.
Almost everyone in the editorial department was gathered together, and it seemed that she had missed something that happened in the morning.
I'm not a particularly curious person, and I don't like to join in the fun. Ruo Chu came in and sat down directly in his seat. He had a lot to do today, including calling a movie theater to confirm a premiere in the afternoon.
What's the specific time?
"Sabina, do you know that we have changed our editor-in-chief?" A young editor who had just graduated for a year asked Ruochu when he saw her coming in. Several others also noticed her.
Ruochu smiled and shook her head. To her, the editor-in-chief is no different from the President of the United States. She didn’t recognize the original one. It doesn’t matter whether she changes or not. She is a small editor and does her best.
That was over, senior management matters were not her concern.
Seeing her lack of interest, everyone stopped paying attention to her and continued the discussion just now. However, Ruochu vaguely heard that a plenary meeting was supposed to be held in the afternoon, but it was suddenly canceled for some reason, so he didn't care.
Now it's time to work.
…
Xiaochuan took the time to go back to Washington and take care of things there. He came back last night and came to "Mirror" early this morning. Because he wants to serve as the editor-in-chief concurrently, his focus will be on this magazine in the recent period.
superior.
Although it is an influential magazine, if it were not for the continuous decline in circulation and the magazine starting to make ends meet, no one would be willing to give it to him. After all, there is still such a huge brand value.
Although Xiaochuan started with magazines and he was confident in his vision, the sudden rise of electronic magazines has had a great impact on traditional magazines. It is not just "Mirror" that is affected, there are already established brands.
Fashion magazines began to quietly withdraw from the market. This was due to the general environment, and Xiaochuan saw this very clearly.
I'm not sure if it's just a momentary fever. Xiaochuan doesn't want to think any further. Now that he has taken it, he must do it well. There is no way out. He only knows that he likes it and doesn't want to watch it disappear. If he really can't let it go,
It came back to life, and at least it did its part.
Xiaoqing tried to persuade him and said that he had no investment vision. If all businessmen were as motivated as him, they would all go bankrupt.
Xiaochuan also laughed it off, understanding that his sister was doing it for his own good, but he was not destined to be a pure businessman, right?
Qin Bei once said to him that when people have money, they want it to make more money, but when he has money, he just wants to "squander it." Although this is a bit absolute, it has to be said that Qin Bei thinks of him as a person.
People have seen through it.
In Xiaochuan's view, working hard to make money is not a bad thing, but you have to have a purpose. If the purpose of making money is money, then no matter how much you earn, it is just a series of numbers, even if there are numbers behind it, you can't count it.
Coming 0.
He actually admired Qin Bei and Qin Nan. If it weren't for the fact that the Qin family was Qin Benru's lifelong endeavor, he believed that Qin Bei would sell it sooner or later, and Qin Nan's current full-time management was not what she liked.
But their current persistence is no longer just for Qin Benru. Judging from Qin's current treatment of employees, which is the highest in the industry, Xiaochuan has no doubt that it is out of responsibility. When the purpose of making money becomes to support then
When more families work for you, you actually earn more than just money.
But he believes that he will never reach the level of Qin Nan and Qin Bei. He only makes money to do what he wants to do, whether it is independent films or current magazines.
But then again, in the eyes of others, it is a loss-making business, but Xiaochuan doesn't think so. He didn't think about making money when he made independent films, but one of them was well-received and a box office hit, and he suddenly recovered the investment in the previous films.
, then if there is a drop of blood in Xiaochuan that is suitable for being a businessman, he likes to take risks. Therefore, although the outside world is not optimistic about the acquisition of "Mirror", Xiaochuan feels in his heart that maybe this is not the case.
On the first day the new editor-in-chief took office, only one secretary knew about it. I'm afraid this can be regarded as an anecdote.
First, let the secretary inform you that a general meeting will be held in the afternoon, and then call in all the personnel's information and look through it one by one. It's time to start dealing with people. What should you do if you don't understand them?
It can be seen that the staff structure is still good, both in terms of age structure and knowledge structure. He had learned that "Mirror" had been laying off people, so he immediately informed the deputy editor to start recruiting people after getting it. That was still
Before he returned to the United States, it can be said that this was how Ruochu was recruited.
Therefore, the information of several new employees caught Xiaochuan's attention. When he saw Ruochu's resume, he was stunned for a long time without reacting.
She carefully read through Ruochu's information word for word, and found that everything matched. She suddenly laughed out loud, shaking her head while laughing. She thought of how she suddenly left with an excuse when Qin Bei asked her how she did in the exam. At that time, she
Puzzled.
Looking at it now, maybe Qin Bei, the father, was deceived, why not as his father? This girl can always do things that surprise people. Back then, she lied about the military situation, causing his father to have sex with Bernard in public.
It was an embarrassment, and it has been remembered by Bernard for several years, and it has become a good story. This time it seems that there will be something good again.
I read her interview record again, and the smile in my eyes kept deepening. I suddenly wanted to see her in the work area. After a second thought, I became more playful and pressed the internal line to inform the secretary to cancel the afternoon meeting and put the person who had not met her in the afternoon.
Ruochu’s immediate superior, Editor-in-Chief Pei Hua from the editorial department, was invited over.
