The autumn rain in S City lasted for a long time, lasting from the end of October until yesterday when it slowly stopped.
When the scorching sun is in the sky and the venomous sunshine continues to scorch, people's hearts will become impetuous and irritable. In addition, it is autumn and the weather is dry. Under the influence of temperature and season, people will be particularly irritable.
A man's rude yelling came from the office of the director of the S City TV Station and Life Newspaper Department.
"Jiang Lin'er, do you want to do this anymore? What are you doing during this time? You want news but not news, you want hot topics but not hot topics. You might as well get out of here if you don't want to do it anymore."
The person who spoke was the director of TV Station Life News.
Caring is forty-five years old, and like most middle-aged men who sit in offices for a long time, he has fair skin, a slightly fat figure, a fat belly, and of course, a pair of funny-looking bow legs.
Caring wore a decent black suit, white shirt, and a very out-of-place and eye-catching red tie.
At this time, Caring was standing behind the desk, looking at the young girl in front of her with her head lowered, her hands holding a stack of documents, and her lips pressed tightly with an angry look on her face. Tears kept rolling in the girl's autumn eyes.
.
Jiang Lin'er is twenty-eight years old this year. She majored in journalism in college. After graduation, she came to work in a television station. The work in the television station is very busy and stressful, and the competition is also very fierce. Jiang Lin'er is a fledgling.
As a little girl, she had neither experience nor many connections, so those popular positions could not be reserved for her, so she had to start from the lowest level.
In the beginning, her daily job was to bring tea and water to the seniors in the office, buy breakfast and afternoon tea, or help with the express delivery, and print a lot of manuscripts. It can be said that at this time, she was just a member of the daily life newspaper.
Just the most inconspicuous little character.
Two years later, just when Jiang Lin'er herself felt that if she continued like this, her original enthusiasm would be lost over time and she chose to change careers, she was finally remembered by someone, and this person was their new
The newly appointed Director Guan Guan has gone from a small role similar to that of a cleaning aunt to a reporter for the Life Newspaper. This makes Jiang Liner very happy. She can finally go for interviews and grab news, and finally opens her business.
In front of the camera.
However, Jiang Lin'er's happiness and excitement did not last long before she discovered that everything seemed different from what she had imagined, and the director Guan who promoted her was not so easy to get along with.
Life Daily, as the name suggests, reports on things that happen in life, and life is like a hodgepodge. Many things happen every day, and most of them are trivial things, such as quarrels between husband and wife, and between brothers and sisters.
Fighting for inheritance, or some young couple did something ridiculous in search of excitement, etc.
Although these news are relatively interesting, most of them are still trivial things that are all over the place, trivial things that people have no interest in at all. For the masses, these things are things that can be seen every day, and they are completely uninteresting.
Attractiveness, and those interesting things, by the time they discovered them, had already been discovered by colleagues in other departments, and they became completely spectators. This is the helplessness and sadness of the reporters of the Life Daily.
However, Caring doesn't seem to know these things that everyone is well aware of, or in other words, he knows but doesn't want to continue like this.
Jiang Lin'er still clearly remembers that on the first day she took office, she fired the three most senior reporters from Life Daily. They had worked hard here for more than ten years, but after she took office, she
, he was fired directly.
Although these three people did not dig out a lot of explosive news like their colleagues in other departments, they have not made any mistakes and have made no achievements. That is their current situation. They clock in here on time every day.
When it's time to get off work, I clock in on time, never come a minute early, never leave a minute late, and spend every day in a mediocre way.
It was precisely because of their incompetence that Caring was fired directly after taking office, which aroused surprise and discussion among everyone in the department. Of course, this kind of discussion was just a quiet discussion behind the scenes, while Caring about firing them
The reason is very simple. The Living Department never raises waste. This is not a nursing home. If you come here to work every day just to hang out, then please find another place.
These three people were fired by the new leader, and they were fired in front of all their colleagues. Naturally, their faces were ugly and they couldn't get off the stage. So they protested and reported it to their superiors. However, they didn't know
What was the origin of this concern? Faced with the cries of these three veteran employees who had worked at Life Daily for more than ten years, they still did not change their decision to care. In the end, these three people could only leave in despair and look for jobs again.
At that time, after this incident happened, everyone in the life department was watching. Most of them were watching with the idea of watching the excitement and a good show. They thought that the new director would be turned into ashes.
, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations.
That's how people are, when facing a stranger, especially a strange leader, they will be very
Curious, when this leader behaves very strongly, everyone will become cautious, put away some small actions in daily life, and forcibly change some bad habits.
Caring not only gave everyone a slap in the face when he first took office, but also issued a death order.
"I don't care what you were like before, and I don't know what the previous director asked you to do. I don't know, and I don't want to know, but my coming means that your good days are over. From today on,
Everyone relies on their performance every month. If your performance is last for two consecutive months, then congratulations, you are fired."
This is what Caring said to everyone in the Life Department after he fired the three veterans.
Of course, in addition to punishment, there are also rewards. The person with the best performance every month will receive a generous bonus in addition to salary, and this bonus is paid by the person with the last place, plus the department's salary.
Made up of other benefits.
This is the simplest carrot and stick strategy. Everyone understands it. However, they understand that in order not to lose their jobs, they still have to do things according to Caring's orders. So, in the first paragraph
During that time, reporters from the Life Department, who were the least paid attention to, appeared at every interesting news scene like hungry wolfdogs, regardless of whether it was under the responsibility of the Life Daily or not.
, they will all step in.
Such an approach naturally aroused dissatisfaction among reporters from other departments. However, when faced with denunciations from leaders of other departments, the station director still chose to side with Caring. It cannot be said that the station director was completely partial to Caring, and the station director also
He was criticized and reprimanded for caring, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that those words were meant for other people, which made everyone feel depressed.
High-intensity work, and seeing the envious and jealous eyes of colleagues in other departments. In the Life Department, a department that has been ignored by everyone for a long time, everyone often lets out a bad breath and feels proud and proud. The feeling in their hearts is called a
So refreshing.
However, such days did not last long. As Caring fully gained a foothold in the Life Department, they discovered that Caring was really not a person, but simply a raging maniac and a weekly bastard.
In the past, they could get off work on time. Anyway, unlike other departments, Life Daily would sometimes receive some urgent notices and so on. As long as there was no big news, they could get off work on time every day. However,
, Since Caring took office, they have gotten off work later and later. Sometimes, at two or three in the morning, Caring will call them, send them WeChat messages, and ask them about work. This keeps everyone in a state of confusion.
In a state of high tension, it is like a bow that has been fully drawn for a long time. As time goes by, various negative emotions and resistance will naturally appear. However, in the face of such emotions, caring people
The method is also very simple and crude.
Either stay and continue working, or pack up and get out.
When faced with this choice, most people, like ordinary people, choose the former. After all, in today's society, it is not easy to find a job. Even if you find it, the salary and benefits will not be as good as those in TV stations.
Even if the salary is higher than here, the room for improvement is very limited. What's more, any media organization attaches great importance to seniority. In addition to strong personal ability, seniority is also very important. Many people after graduating from college,
They entered the life department and were used to the life here. Suddenly, they were unwilling to leave and start a new job.
Jiang Lin'er was concerned about firing the three reporters who were messing around when she first took office, so three positions were vacated. With the vacancies, someone naturally needs to fill them, and Jiang Lin'er is
That lucky guy.
Finally having the opportunity to show off their talents is a good thing and lucky for many people with dreams. However, for Jiang Lin'er and others, this coveted opportunity is actually lucky.
Still unfortunate.
Although they have the opportunity to show their talents and are one step closer to their dreams, after all, without previous experience, many things will not be done well and things will go wrong, and they will naturally become the focus of attention. From the beginning
When I was young, I was caring and patient and tolerant of them. However, as time went by and I made more and more mistakes, my caring and irritable side showed up. Instead of being kind to them, I scolded them directly and even more.
It's very ugly, just like now.
"Director Guan, I have been following the case of Zou Renjiang's murder some time ago..."
"Jiang Lin'er!"
Before Jiang Lin'er could finish her words, she waved her hand rudely with concern, interrupted Jiang Lin'er's words, and shouted loudly: "You still have the nerve to mention Zou Renjiang's news to me. Originally, our Life Newspaper discovered it first.
As a reporter of our daily life newspaper, you not only did not get the explosive information in the first time, but also let other reporters get the news. Of course, I can understand it. After all, the incident happened suddenly. You initially
What you did was correct, and it was done well, but what happened next? What did you do? Until the case was solved, you still didn’t come up with anything decent. Are you embarrassed? Do you think you still don’t understand anything?
Young reporter, wake up quickly. You are already twenty-eight years old and have just graduated.
It has been more than six years, and you are still living in such a muddle-headed way? If you have this idea, then you can pack up and leave. I believe that the Ministry of Life will be better off without you."
The tears that I had been holding back finally burst out from my eyes no longer able to be held in.
Jiang Lin'er pursed her lips tightly, biting her lower lip tightly with her beautiful teeth. Soon, her sexy lips became bloodless, and a faint smell of blood entered her mouth. Jiang Lin'er felt that her brain went blank.
, there seemed to be countless boulders accumulated in her heart. She felt that she couldn't breathe and felt that she was going to die.
Humiliation, naked humiliation, this sense of humiliation made Jiang Lin'er, who was no longer a young bird, feel at a loss. If there was a gap in front of her now, she would definitely get into it as soon as possible, and never do it again.
If you don't come out, it's a pity that there is nothing in front of you except the fat face that is twisted with anger.
"Cry, cry, cry, damn you know how to cry, what else can you do besides cry? If tears are useful, if tears can be exchanged for hot news, I hope you cry like this every day."
Seeing that Jiang Lin'er neither refuted nor defended, but just kept crying, the anger in her concerned heart became more and more intense, and her face showed an expression of extreme impatience.
"What are you still doing here? Why don't you go find the news quickly?"
Caring glanced at Jiang Lin'er with disgust, sat down suddenly, picked up the already cold cup of coffee on the table, and took a long sip.
Jiang Lin'er didn't say anything. She was sobbing, holding the documents in her hands, and walked out of the concerned office.
"Boom."
Just when Jiang Lin'er opened the office door, there was a loud noise behind her. Jiang Lin'er's body trembled suddenly. Then her body tensed up and she did not dare to move. She even did not have the courage to look back.
, this shows how humbled Jiang Liner was by the concern.
"One third of the month has passed. If you can't get any big news by the end of the month, you can leave."
Hearing this, Jiang Lin'er's tightly pursed lips became even tighter. A trace of blood seeped out from the corner of her mouth. Her face also became very pale. A huge sense of pressure instantly enveloped her.
It hit her whole body and she really couldn't breathe.
Jiang Lin'er didn't look back or speak, but mechanically opened the office door, walked out, and silently returned to her workstation.
When other colleagues in the office area saw Jiang Lin'er coming out, they first glanced at Jiang Lin'er, then raised their heads and glanced at the concerned office. Then, they lowered their heads silently and continued their work.
No one comforted Jiang Lin'er, and no one took the initiative to speak. The atmosphere in the office area was very depressing. Everyone's face was full of exhaustion and helplessness. However, most of them were still numb.
Yes, since Caring took over the Life Department, they were full of passion at the beginning and slowly turned into this desperate and numb look now. They were scolded and slapped in the face by Caring. That was
It's nothing but normal.
At first, everyone was not used to it, and it was not that no one resisted. However, the results of those who resisted were not very good. Either they were completely driven into the dust by the care, or they left here in anger. These people who left
After leaving the Ministry of Life, there is no news about them. It is not that they are dead, but that they have completely disappeared from this circle.
In order to live and have a stable job, everyone is working hard every day, every week, every month, and every year. As time goes by, they will gradually get used to it.
Habits are the most terrifying things, more terrifying than killing people directly.
When Jiang Lin'er returned to her workstation, she lay on the table and cried silently for a while. When her tears were almost gone, she raised her head, wiped away her tears, and silently sorted out the manuscripts on her hands, taking a look at the recent ones.
Is there any new news she can dig up?
Humiliation, powerlessness, confusion, great pressure... and a series of other negative emotions were always lingering in Jiang Lin'er's mind.
As an only daughter who has excelled in studies since she was a child, she has grown up under the care of her parents and relatives. Her parents have never scolded her like this, for fear of saying too harsh a word and making her think too much. However, since
After working here, she was scolded the most often and harshly. She wanted to give up her current job more than once and choose other ways out. However, when she thought of her former dream, she had to
Compromise again and choose to endure it all silently.
After sorting out the manuscripts for a while, Jiang Lin'er discovered a new hot news. It was about a young couple in a certain community who starved to death at home after only three months because they went out to have fun. Now, society is divided into
After paying attention to this matter, the police also intervened in the investigation. She was the first to discover the news and had already done a certain amount of work. Just now, she planned to report the matter to Care, but the other party did not give her a chance at all. Now,
Although she felt very sad, she decided to go to that house again to see if she might find something.
Jiang Lin'er stood up, cleaned up briefly, and left the work station. Until Jiang Lin'er completely disappeared from everyone's sight, no one raised their head or glanced at her.
