The Wildest Urban Marriages: Contract Couples

Chapter 19

On the second day after Jerry went to Beijing, Miao Miao's unit was taking a written test. Fortunately, she reviewed and prepared well, and Miao Miao felt that she did well in the test. Although she didn't know her score yet, Miao Miao felt good about herself.After the exam, Miao Miao went to attend a high school classmate's wedding banquet. In the evening, she followed a dozen or so classmates in the class and made a fuss in the bride's room all night.

It was already 10:30 p.m. when Miao Miao returned to the rented room where she lived with Jerry. Miao Miao hadn’t come back here for so many days. Looking at everything familiar here, she felt that she and Jerry stayed here Suddenly, Miao Miao felt a warm and happy feeling, and she was thinking of Jerry in particular. During this period of time, she was busy preparing for the exam, so she controlled not being with Jerry, and hadn't had a good chat with Jerry for many days.

After Miao Miao finished washing, she lay on the bed, picked up her mobile phone, and dialed Jerry's number. The phone called "beep, beep, beep—" but no one answered it. Miaomiao thought to herself, it's so late What is Jerry still doing? He didn’t answer the phone, and he called again, but still no one answered. Miaomiao felt a little lost in her heart. She had finished the exam and wanted to express her feelings to Jerry, so she just told him The situation of the written test today, but I called him, but no one answered, and I didn't reply to the text messages I sent.With a depressed mood, Miao Miao turned off the phone and went to sleep.

When she woke up the next morning, Miao Miao rushed to her work unit to prepare for the interview the day after tomorrow.It was the first time for Miao Miao to take part in the unit's public election examination, and she was inevitably a little nervous. She had worked in the editorial office of the newspaper for so many years as the deputy director of the office, and she really hoped to be able to move up.People, that's how they are, they are only nervous if they care. Miao Miao laughed at her mentality in her heart.I don't know what questions will be asked in the interview. Miao Miao searched the Internet for some interview questions from various newspapers competing for employment, but found nothing. They were all mock questions that elementary school students could answer well, and they were very simple.Miao Miao once heard some colleagues who had participated in the public election test say that the current interview questions are getting more and more tricky and deeper. Miao Miao thought, how tricky it will be?How deep?It won't be like the composition questions of the college entrance examination in some places, which come out in all kinds of strange ways.

Miaomiao's interview took place in the living room on the fifth floor of Jianghai Fuhuang Hotel.Miao Miao drew lots and ranked [-]th. When it was Miao Miao's turn to interview, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. When she walked into the interview room, she saw Editor-in-Chief Wu of Jiangning Daily, two vice presidents, and two middle-aged men whom she didn't know. Sitting across from her, Miao Miao was very surprised. She did not expect that the examiner hired this time was of such a high level. The ZZ newspaper that Miao Miao worked for was a city commercial newspaper under Jiangning Daily, which was a party newspaper of the province.

The president and several staff members also sat aside, and Miao Miao was even more surprised that the president of Jiangning Daily also came to the examination room to observe in person.The president, surnamed Lin, is about 50 years old, a department-level cadre, with a fat body and thinning hair. He was transferred from the provincial propaganda department at the end of last year, and he is rarely seen on weekdays.Because ZZ newspaper is just a sub-newspaper of Jiangning Daily. Jiangning Daily is a large-scale newspaper office with thousands of employees. It has five sub-newspapers and two printing factories under its jurisdiction. The deputy director of the newspaper did not have many opportunities to meet the president and editor-in-chief of the general newspaper. Although they work in the same yard, they are in different buildings, so there are still very few opportunities to meet.For some reason, Miao Miao felt a little nervous when seeing these big leaders present today, not as relaxed as in the past, and these leaders are today's examiners. ?
Editor-in-chief Wu of Jiangning Daily is today's chief examiner, in his 50s.Today, the seriousness of the past is changed, probably because we want to create a relaxed environment, so that every candidate can freely develop their skills.Editor-in-Chief Wu saw Miao Miao coming in, smiled unexpectedly, motioned Miao Miao to sit down, and said in a calm tone: "Don't be nervous, we have five interview questions today, and each question should take no more than 5 minutes to answer. You have to listen carefully to understand the meaning, and when you are done answering, you have to say that you are done answering the question."

Miao Miao nodded. Editor-in-Chief Wu's amiable tone eased the tension in Miao Miao's heart. Miao Miao smiled and waited for Editor-in-Chief Wu to come up with a question.

"The first question, please listen carefully. You actually hired the position of director of the editorial office. How do you think you can be qualified for this position? Please take no more than 5 minutes to answer this question?" Editor-in-Chief Wu asked very gently. asked in a tone.

Miao Miao thought to herself that this question seemed simple, but it might be testing her own understanding of this position, as well as her qualities and abilities.Miao Miao thought for a moment and replied: "As a director of the editorial office, first of all, you must have the professionalism of hard work and silent dedication, you must have the excellent quality of being strict with yourself and being honest, and you must be vigorous and resolute, truth-seeking and pragmatic. Second, they must have high political quality and ideological consciousness, and they must care about national policies and major social life events; You must have a solid foundation in writing; fourth, you must have certain management and coordination skills, because the director of the editorial office is the head of the editorial office. relationship; finally, you need to familiarize yourself with the various tasks that the editor does, and the answer is over.”

After answering the questions, Miao Miao felt confident when she saw Editor-in-Chief Wu's smiling expression. ?
"The second question, please listen carefully, why did you choose to hire the position of director of the editorial office? Please answer briefly."

Miao Miao thought, the second interview question seemed plain, but murderous intentions were hidden in it.One is to examine the work experience of the candidates, and the other is to observe the motivation of the candidates.Miao Miao rationalized her thoughts and replied: "I have worked in the editorial office of the Metropolitan Daily for more than eight years. My work has been honored to be affirmed and praised by my colleagues and superiors, and I have been rated as an advanced worker for many years; second, I love the work done by the editor very much. In the past eight years, I have always maintained a high degree of enthusiasm and a positive attitude; Third, I hope to be able to train myself with higher requirements, and I hope to share greater pressure for the newspaper. If the leader trusts me, I have the confidence to do a good job in this position, the answer is over."

After Miao Miao finished answering, she observed the expressions of several examiners. She saw that there were two vice-presidents, slightly bowing their heads, and whispering to each other. Depending on the situation, Miao Miao felt that the answers would not be too bad.

"The third question, please listen carefully. Once, our newspaper office invited a client to dinner. This client is the biggest sponsor of our newspaper office. It happened that you were sitting next to him. He admired you very much and drank too much wine. Afterwards, I kept touching your thighs under the table, what would you do?" Editor-in-Chief Wu continued to ask with a smile.

Miao Miao was a little surprised when she heard this. She never expected that Editor-in-Chief Wu would ask such a question in such a serious examination room.But this problem is indeed a problem that many young lesbians in the newspaper office often encounter. In order to attract business, the newspaper office often invites some bosses to dinner. Wine, on the wine table, many lesbians have been treated lightly by some customers, and this problem has always troubled many lesbians.For this reason, the newspaper also set up a public relations department to recruit a few young and beautiful girls who can speak well, are cheerful and lively, and are good at sociability from the society.

Miao Miao knew that the survival of the newspaper depended on a large number of customers, and offending these customers would mean a decline in the newspaper's efficiency.Miao Miao thinks that this kind of question is to test your resilience and your sense of responsibility to the newspaper office.

Miao Miao thought for a while and replied: "Customers are the gods of our newspaper office. As a member of the newspaper office, we must always put the interests of the newspaper office first, respect every customer, and treat each other with enthusiasm. I will definitely be angry in the depths. But I will not show it on the surface, because I can’t make the client unhappy because of trivial things. I will move my thighs away without showing any traces, distance myself from the client, and hint him with silent words , I am not a frivolous woman, I maintain the dignified image of women in the newspaper office, and at the same time, I will tell him with a smile on my face that he is the boss I respect the most."

"Question four, please listen carefully, what do you think of the "nude photo scandal" that happened this year? "

Miao Miao found that the questions edited by Chief Wu became more and more obscure and tortuous, and it became more and more difficult to judge the intentions of the questioners.The nude photo scandal that broke out on the Internet this year is the most popular thing. Many websites and newspapers have made headlines of the nude photo scandal to attract readers' attention.For such entertainment news events, ZZ newspaper, as a sub-newspaper under the jurisdiction of the party newspaper, seldom gets involved.

Miao Miao thought to herself that editor-in-chief Wu might want to use this incident to reflect the corresponding attitude of the newspaper staff.After thinking for a while, Miao Miao replied: "As the most shocking event in the entertainment industry this year, our ZZ newspaper office can actually pay attention to it. After all, the newspaper office needs a large number of readers. Although the nude photos incident is a news in the entertainment industry, it has It has now evolved into a social issue that has attracted the attention of the masses. If we always ignore these major issues that the masses love to hear and are very concerned about, in the long run, it will weaken readers' attention to the content of our newspapers and periodicals, and we will not be able to mention them. to stimulate their desire to read. However, our newspaper office is a party newspaper and a party periodical. We cannot just capture some low-level interesting things just to satisfy and cater to readers’ tastes. , to make society more harmonious, finish answering." Miao Miao didn't know how to answer such a question, so she had to answer randomly according to her first feeling, ignoring whether she went off topic.

"Last question, please listen carefully. Xiao Wang opened a breakfast shop in the street market three years ago, selling steamed buns. The business was booming in the first year. Later, someone opened a similar breakfast shop opposite, Xiao Wang. The business of Xiao Wang's breakfast shop was not as hot as it used to be. Later, someone next to him opened a breakfast shop with a variety of designs, and the business of Xiao Wang's breakfast shop became even more deserted. Please talk about this issue in conjunction with the development of our newspaper office. ?” Chief Editor Wu asked the last question.

This problem actually reflects the problem that the current development model of party newspapers and periodicals is single and outdated.Miao Miao has already had her own views on this issue, and she talked eloquently: "From the fact that the business of Xiao Wang's breakfast shop is getting deserted day by day, we can see that in the market competition, we must constantly innovate thinking and change ideas, otherwise we will eventually be eliminated. .Although our Jiangning newspaper office is currently in the leading position in the province's newspaper distribution, it is undeniable that the development speed of newspaper offices established by various associations is amazing, and their business growth rate is several times that of ours. If we always stay in the original operation In terms of model, if we don’t open up new fields, our advantages will be challenged sooner or later. Income is the economic lifeline of a unit. Our newspaper’s income has always been mainly based on newspaper distribution and customer advertising fees. We can also follow other newspapers and well-known websites. In this way, we will make online newspapers bigger and stronger, seize the cake of online reading and electronic publications, and at the same time, we can also cooperate with mobile and telecommunications departments to promote news wireless Monternet and broaden our income-increasing channels. Only by continuous innovation can our newspaper office be With new vitality, only by continuous innovation can our newspapers and periodicals become more and more prosperous, and the answer is over."

After Miao Miao finished answering, seeing President Lin, Editor-in-Chief Wu and several vice presidents all nodded slightly, Miao Miao felt a little relieved.

"You go out to avoid it for two minutes, and I will call you in later." Editor-in-Chief Wu said with a smile.

Miao Miao stood outside the examination room for less than 2 minutes when she heard the staff tell her to go in. Editor Wu told Miao Miao that she scored 89 points in the interview.

Miao Miao thanked with a nod and a smile, and left the examination room.

When I walked out of Jianghai Fuhuang Hotel, I saw the sun was shining brightly and the sky was blue.Miao Miao was in a good mood, finally finished the exam, and there was no pressure, but it was a pity that Jerry was not by her side. Thinking of Jerry, Miao Miao couldn't help dialing his number.

"Hey, Jerry, what are you doing?"

"I'm talking about something, isn't it convenient to talk? Well, then I'll hang up."

When Miao Miao heard that Jerry said that he was negotiating cooperation with foreign businessmen, he hung up knowingly. In fact, Jerry was holding Zhang Xuan's hand to visit the Summer Palace at this time, because Zhang Xuan was by his side, and Jerry was not good. Talk to Miao Miao intimately, even Miao Miao didn't care about the interview and asked more questions.

Miao Miao was very concerned about Jerry, and she didn't know how his business was going. During this time, Jerry seldom texted or called her. Occasionally, Miao Miao dialed his mobile phone and either turned it off or hung up in a few words, as if It seems very busy.

Miao Miao looked at her phone, it was already five o'clock, it was Friday, so she made a phone call and asked her husband to pick her up, and together they went to Harvard to pick up their son.
