No. 67, Rue Haussmann, where Le Figaro newspaper office is located.
"Deputy Editor-in-Chief Fierlo, the person recommended by Mrs. Lolita is here." A tall and thin man walked into the office of Mr. Fierlo, the deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper.
"Okay, let him in." Mr. Fierlo replied without raising his head.
A moment later, a black-haired man walked into Filo's office, bowed respectfully to Filo and said: "Dear Mr. Filo, I'm glad to see you. Please allow me to be myself."
Introduction, my name is Charles Geng."
"Uh, sit down!" Deputy Editor-in-Chief Philo turned around. He was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a pale face and gray hair neatly combed back, revealing his broad forehead.
"Geng, it's nice to meet you. Mrs. Lolita recommended you and said that you have extraordinary journalism talents. So I would like to ask you, what are the specific elements of journalism?"
"Time, place, event, followed by timeliness, accuracy and authenticity," Geng Chaozhong replied, "Of course, this is the traditional view, but in my opinion, it is more concise to describe it with three elements, which I call
These are NTC elements.”
"Huh?" Filo looked at Geng Chaozhong in surprise, "What is NTC?"
"That is, new (ruth) and reporting (uni)." Geng Chaozhong answered calmly. He had already made enough preparations in advance to apply for this job.
"It's a novel statement, but it's very general." Mr. Ferlot nodded, treating it as a trick for applicants to attract attention. "But I want to know why you came to Paris to work?"
"Actually, I have my own career in China, but I really like the work of an international reporter because I can experience different cultures and make my reports more in-depth." Geng Chaozhong replied.
"That's a good answer," Mr. Fierlo said with a look of satisfaction on his face, "but I can tell that your French doesn't seem to be very fluent."
"I have only studied French for four months," Geng Chaozhong shrugged, "but I can guarantee that this will not hinder me from being your assistant."
"Haha," Phillo laughed, "you are very frank, and at the same time, your confidence also surprises me. On the other hand, if you can master French to this level in four months, then I will give you a lot of confidence."
It’s also natural to have confidence.”
"Thank you, Mr. Fierlo, for your compliments." Geng Chaozhong said with a smile.
"One-week trial period, weekly salary is 40 francs," Mr. Fierlo lightly knocked on the table, "If there is nothing to prepare, you can start working now."
"Thank you!" Geng Chaozhong was overjoyed.
I thought I would encounter some trouble, but I didn't expect that Mr. Fierlo was very easy to talk to. I wonder if his performance was good enough? Or the recommendation of the so-called "Mrs. Lolita" played a key role.
"You can sit over there!" Mr. Fierlo pointed to an empty seat opposite, "If someone comes in, you will be responsible for receiving them, but please note that Figaro is a major newspaper, so please be sure to pay attention to your words and deeds.
Also, there are usually people who I don’t want to see come over, so you have to reject them skillfully.”
"Yes sir." Geng Chaozhong nodded respectfully.
"By the way, what do you think of the current situation in Europe?" Mr. Fierlo looked through some information at hand and asked seemingly casually.
"I believe that the ambitions of the Germans cannot be contained. France's handing over the Saarland to the Germans will not only not eliminate the ambitions of the Germans, but will actually increase their arrogance. The entry of the Wehrmacht into the Rhineland is proof of this." Geng Chaozhong.
answer.
"This is a generally accepted view," Fierlo nodded noncommittally, "but Adolf has only been in power for a short two years, and he will be unable to expand further in the next few years."
"I agree with you, but this also means that his domestic purge will be more intense." Geng Chaozhong nodded.
"Oh? You mean the GC Party?" Mr. Fierlo glanced at Geng Chaozhong.
"No," Geng Chaozhong shook his head, "They are Jews."
"Jews?" Mr. Fierlo's expression was a little confused. "Yes, there are some demonstrations against Jews in Germany, but most of them have been ignored."
"Those demonstrations were just the beginning of things, not the end," Geng Chaozhong emphasized. "According to my observation, Germany may soon introduce a law targeting Jews."
"Hahahaha," Mr. Fierlo laughed, "This is impossible. Such a regulation that seriously violates human rights and international law will never be implemented. What's more, the Olympic Games will be held in Berlin next summer, and the Germans will never be here.
This is such a time to introduce such a policy that clearly goes against the spirit of the Olympics."
"With all due respect, the Third Reich has been established. Nothing is impossible." Geng Chaozhong shook his head.
"Young man, your views on politics are still too naive," Mr. Fierlo looked at Geng Chaozhong with the eyes of an experienced person, "but it doesn't matter, the political commentary section of Le Figaro is famous in Europe, and you will learn from it in the future.
A lot of things, of course, provided you stay here long enough.”
"Mr. Fierlo," Geng Chaozhong was not to be outdone, "everything you said is based on the premise that Adolf will respect the current European system. But in my opinion, the existing European collective security system has
If it collapses, morality will no longer be a factor restricting power. The current situation is more similar to the power politics on the eve of the European War."
"Oh oh oh, interesting young man," Filo smiled, "You seem to be saying that in just twenty years, another world war will break out in Europe."
"This is exactly my opinion," Geng Chaozhong also smiled, "because the reasons for the outbreak of the European War have not been truly resolved in the past twenty years."
"Interesting point of view," Mr. Fierlo lowered his head and stopped talking to Geng Chaozhong, but his lips were whispering: "Arrogant and rude guy, if it weren't for Mrs. Lolita's relationship, I would have just said
You kicked me out of the office..."
"Mr. Phillo, what are you talking about?" Geng Chaozhong looked at Phillo curiously.
"Well, I thought of something else." Mr. Fierlo touched the hair on his forehead. "Go out now and help me get a copy of the Berlin Times on the 3rd from Mrs. Faber's office. Right?"
Yes, Mrs. Faber is in room 203 on the second floor."
Geng Chaozhong agreed, stood up and walked out.
He could still tell something about Mr. Fierlo's expression, but Geng Chaozhong didn't mind this. He was not a real reporter, and he had no intention of being promoted step by step within the newspaper system. All he needed to do was to use the shortest possible method.
To attract the attention of Mr. Fierlo within a certain period of time, and thereby gain maximum authority and freedom in the newspaper office - so as not to hinder his subsequent work.
