Chapter 822

"It's so miserable..." Liu Xu's eyes almost popped out of his head when he heard this. "It's only 7500 yuan a year. Who can accept this? Are you leaving so casually?"

"Haha, who said you could receive 7500 yuan? Doesn't it cost nothing to print this magazine? Doesn't it cost anything to produce? In fact, you can only have 500 yuan left in a year, even if you operate it well!"

"So the last editor-in-chief resigned a month ago, but he is still in the resignation period. He is expected to leave completely tomorrow, so the editor-in-chief will urge you to come over tomorrow. You said that when you were applying for the job, the editor-in-chief looked at your words. I recruited you because of your beautiful writing. I guess it was just to find someone to take over for "Calligraphy Weekly"!"

"Anyway, it's a branch that not many people subscribe to, so it doesn't matter if you, a newcomer, come over!" The professional reporter shook his head and said, "But don't worry, I can't only give you 500 yuan a year. Then there really won't be anyone to work for." . In fact, every month our magazine will privately give them a subsidy of 1000 yuan, which is your real salary."

"In my opinion, you should grit your teeth and go for it. Although 1000 yuan is not much, many women can't get this salary. You are a young man, so naturally you have to work hard. How many years have you stayed in this position? Years later, after gaining experience in the industry, it will be easier to change jobs, and you won’t be trapped by him for the rest of your life!” A professional reporter said thoughtfully for Liu Xu.

"Wait a minute, you said that the 1000 yuan belongs to me. Am I the only one in the entire "Calligraphy Weekly"?" Liu Xu was dumbfounded again.

"Well, because the task of "Calligraphy Weekly" is not heavy. It mainly goes to various retired officials in the city's jurisdiction every week to collect their calligraphy works, and then puts them together according to the template to make a magazine. But that's it. Because it is a calligraphy magazine, the appearance and the inside must be consistent. Therefore, the fonts in the magazine cannot use fonts and must be written by hand. This is why the editor-in-chief must find someone with beautiful handwriting like you."

"However, there are not many words to be written in "Calligraphy Weekly". One issue is only four to five hundred words at most. The work is actually not too hard. Instead, most of your time is spent running around the city collecting various things. Plant calligraphy!”

"By the way, you have to pay to collect these calligraphy. Although the money was taken from the magazine's account, you must not have any inappropriate thoughts. Once the superiors find out that you have used the money, your Your life will be in danger!"

"Although our Fu City is only a third-tier city, its literary style has been first-tier for thousands of years. The number of Jinshi candidates in the imperial examination every year has never fallen out of the top three among all cities. Therefore, the number of retired old people in our city has been There are so many officials, and everything is connected to the sky. You must be respectful when working, otherwise..."

"Forget it, you are so good-looking, I'm afraid it's too late for those old officials to like you! Maybe your future will be better than mine by then!"

The professional reporter suddenly felt a little sour when he said this. Liu Xu also roughly understood why he had to try his best to maintain such a magazine that obviously made no money and was losing money every year. He was so grateful for these retired veterans. On officials.

Although Liu Xu already knew how deceptive the "Calligraphy Weekly" magazine was, in order to survive in this world, Liu Xu still had to bite the bullet and continue.

Moreover, this job has the opportunity to come into contact with those retired old officials, doesn't it mean that he also has the opportunity to reveal the intelligence of the Rose Empire to these old officials.

After all, these old officials are connected to the sky behind their backs. It is better to just say a word to an old official than to spread it among the people to 500 people. The information may be spread to the palace in the next second.

So Liu Xu was very depressed on the surface, but he accepted the job with great excitement in his heart. However, that night, he learned that Liu Xu had become a formal employee and became the editor-in-chief. Otherwise she wouldn't have children and wouldn't be a mistress. It would be really boring!
Liu Xu didn't care about so much, and he successfully reported in the "Calligraphy Weekly" magazine the next day.The editor-in-chief of the last round of magazine was waiting for Liu Xu there, and explained to Liu Xu the focus of his work, which was similar to what professional reporters said. Then he looked at Liu Xu with pity and whispered, "Be patient sometimes. Just be patient and it will be over." Then he strode away.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Xu began to take over the work of "Calligraphy Weekly". As the reporter said, the focus of the entire work was not how to arrange the articles, but to collect calligraphy works from every old official's home.

The previous editor-in-chief of the magazine left Liu Xu an address book that was hundreds of pages thick, containing thousands of different names, as well as their corresponding official positions and residences, etc.

These are the rosters of officials from Fu City who have returned to their hometown to recuperate, and all of their official positions are above the seventh rank.

Don't look at it, in the TV series, the seventh rank is just a sesame official, but the county magistrate of a county, the parent official who is in charge of the livelihood of tens of millions of people, is just a seventh rank.

And Liu Xu's job is to call the officials on these address books every morning and respectfully request them to submit articles to "Calligraphy Weekly". The hundreds of thousands of readers of "Calligraphy Weekly" have been eager to do so. Saw their masterpiece.

After confirming that some retired officials were willing to submit articles, Liu Xu drove the magazine's most luxurious equipment: a smoking car, and came to collect calligraphy works one by one. This process continued from Monday to Thursday, and on Friday It was used for typesetting and writing various words. It was printed on Saturdays and Sundays, and it was distributed nationwide directly through the postal system the next Monday.

After all, many of these officials are high-ranking officials of third rank or above, and their disciples and former officials are spread all over the country. Naturally, the calligraphy of their benefactor should be seen by people all over the country!

The work went smoothly in the first few days. After all, only two or three of the 10 retired officials were willing to answer the phone. Nine out of ten who answered the phone had nothing to say to Liu Xu. In the end, only a few were willing to submit articles. Personally, Liu Xu doesn't have too many places to run.

When Liu Xu went to collect the manuscript, he couldn't even enter the house. Waiting outside the door, naturally there was a waiter who took the calligraphy out to Liu Xu to take away.

Moreover, most of the gifts were not original calligraphy works, but photos taken. In the words of an official, this kind of thing is safe to keep at home, but it would be too dangerous to take it out and hang it on the wall!
However, it is worth mentioning that among the people Liu Xu called, nine out of ten were women.

Of course, you will occasionally encounter a 200-pound tank.

At this moment, Liu Xu finally understood why the previous editor-in-chief asked him to endure it.
