Chapter 2, a person is crying

There are not many people in the Communications Department, two deputy directors, one Teacher Ling, another young girl, and then there is Xiao Duo

Director Ma and Director Zhang are both very courteous to Xiao Duo

Running all the way to the entrance of the park, I only stopped to catch my breath upon seeing someone, and when I turned back to look, that person had not followed me

Xiao Duo responded crisply. After two months, she became adept at simplifying messages, transforming the lengthy text received into a few lines of concise spoken words with a swift stroke of her pen.

As the workday was coming to an end, Director Ma lost his temper, holding the draft handed over by Zhang Li and scolding: "Is this how the draft is revised? It just keeps getting worse! Young people should learn more; after being taught for so long, you still can't revise the simplest news brief properly!"

Upon arriving at the television station, Xiao Duo eagerly watches every news segment from her channel.

Xiao Duo jumped up just like the startled rabbit, seeing a man in front of her leaning against a tree, curiously watching her while smoking a cigarette

As if she already knew the background of Xiao Duo, she displayed a kind smile: "Your name is Fan Xiao Duo, right? No need to call me Director Zhang, just call me Sister Zhang. Come on, let's go to the office"

Xiao Duo is very grateful and feels that Sister Zhang is very kind

While the family was racking their brains in a meeting to arrange for Xiao Duo's boyfriend, Fan Xiao Duo was sitting alone in the park's woods, crying

In order to clarify, all revisions were made in red pen. Xiao Duo came across a report about a certain place becoming prosperous through pig farming.

Xiao Duo turned her head to look around; the small grove was empty and silent, with only the occasional sound of birds chirping. Suddenly, she felt a surge of fear, afraid of encountering a bad person

She had just started working at the television station for two months when she encountered complex interpersonal relationships that she had never dealt with before

Upon arriving at the television station, Xiao Duo refused to let her second sister enter: "Sister, if people see that I am already this grown up and still need family members to accompany me to report to the unit, it would be quite embarrassing. You should go back; I can manage on my own."

Xiao Duo had no choice but to go in with his second sister

Xiao Duo was stunned and found it difficult to re-enter the office. He secretly hid in the corridor and watched as Reporter Zhong left for a while before slowly making his way inside

That woman clearly has a career-oriented demeanor, appearing shrewd and capable

Upon entering the building, Xiao Duo realized that she had been deceived by her sister

Sister Zhang handed her a stack of scripts sent from the television station, which contained only the text without any images, and said: "Xiao Duo, please convert these into broadcast news summaries without the need for accompanying images. If you have any questions, feel free to ask Teacher Ling or me."

He left right after speaking

Although there were no images, she gazed intently at the host broadcasting the news brief she had revised, not even missing the replay, feeling a subtle sense of accomplishment within her

Xiao Duo took the manuscript handed to him by Director Ma and revised it with great seriousness

As soon as he entered, Director Ma cheerfully said to Xiao Duo: "There are several drafts on the table, you need to revise them quickly, they are due tonight, remember they are brief news items"

Xiao Duo was unaware that it was her elder brother who had used various connections to help her secure a job at the television station, and she could not refuse her second sister's insistence on taking her to report for duty.

No matter how many times he walked left or right, that person was always blocking the way in front of him

She is very fond of this job and aspires to be a journalist

While I was thinking, I suddenly heard the station director calling over a woman in her thirties

She felt extremely wronged. Clearly, it was Director Ma who asked her to revise the article written by the journalist from Zhongda, so how could anyone lie with their eyes wide open? No matter how bold she was, she would never dare to touch the articles of the station's reporters! Xiaoduo did not want to go home with a long face for Liu Ge to see, making the whole family worry. She hoped to establish herself in the station through her own abilities, rather than crying to her older siblings whenever something unexpected happened, causing them to worry about her.

Thus, the poor Fan Xiaoduo could only hide alone in the park's woods and cry

An acquaintance also laughed: "Your sister? Is she coming to work on our stage? She must be the little one at home, right? In the blink of an eye, she has grown up so much, such a graceful young lady, talented and youthful!"

Fan Xiaoduo, having just arrived, was originally only able to serve as an intern running errands

Xiao Duo was puzzled when reporter Zhong earnestly said to her: "Fan Xiao Duo, I know your elder brother and your second sister, and we have a good relationship. The reason I called you aside is also because of this. Do you know? I have been a reporter for ten years, and no one has ever revised my article like this! I know you are very diligent, and you even found the typos, but you must understand that the writing of a news article is not solely about the order; it also involves the inverted pyramid structure.

Xiao Duo is puzzled as to why there is no Director Zheng in the Communications Department, and Zhang Li secretly revealed some insider information in a mysterious manner

This manuscript is accompanied by images, and it is not lengthy, just one page. However, a few corrections have been made for seven or eight typographical errors.

Little Duo never expected that because of her remark, Reporter Zhong would turn around and engage in a theoretical discussion with Director Ma

The young girl in the communications department saw Xiao Duo sitting across from her desk and introduced herself as Zhang Li

Xiao Duo looked over somewhat stubbornly and said: "What does it have to do with you? I don't even know you."

Xiao Duo did not want to answer and was determined to leave.

Director Liu is in his forties, lean and slender, and does not appear to have a fierce demeanor. Xiao Duo secretly observes him for a while, but Director Liu does not invite her to sit. Xiao Duo stands in the office feeling somewhat at a loss, regretting that she should not have brought her second sister along. It would have been much easier for her to go to the office alone with the files.

Xiao Duo was standing at the office door, just hearing Director Ma say to Reporter Zhong: "I brought it to her for her to study, but I didn't expect her to take it and make changes, and she made a complete mess of it."

At this time, the sun has already set in the west, and the small grove is very quiet. Xiaoduo chose this place precisely to avoid being seen by others

Director Liu pointed at Xiao Duo and said to the newcomers: "The new one, just start working in your communications department for now"

What a talented young person, one can tell upon first meeting! It is amusing to think how this person can speak such nonsense with their eyes wide open, yet they lower their head and remain silent

All the way, there was incessant chatter: "Xiao Duo, once you arrive at the workplace, speak less and do more. Never speak ill of others behind their backs; mutual slander is the greatest taboo in the workplace. If you dislike someone, make sure not to show it. The workplace is very complicated now; there are many who smile at you on the surface but stab you in the back... Xiao Duo, when you get to the workplace, be diligent since you are new; only then will others look favorably upon you. If you get tired, I will buy you some good food!"

Fan Zheqin said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's nothing. I am just accompanying my sister here to check in today. In the future, please take good care of my little Duo."

Xiao Duo looked over somewhat stubbornly and said: "What does it have to do with you? I don't know you."

Only after everyone left did I hear the second sister say: "This is Director Lin from your editorial office, remember that."

Thus, Xiao Duo began working in the communications department of the television station.

On that day, Director Ma handed a stack of manuscripts to Xiao Duo and said, "Xiao Duo, please revise these manuscripts."

Xiao Duo has become much more lively after engaging in conversation with others

The elder brother working in the government called the station director, asking him to take good care of Xiao Duo. The second sister, who works in the publicity department, insisted on accompanying Xiao Duo on her first day reporting to the station

Xiao Duo remembered the words of his second sister, listening without responding

Xiao Duo knew in her heart that Director Ma was using the opportunity to scold her, so she just bit her lip and buried her head to pack up her things and leave work. As soon as she left the office, she rushed into the small woods of the park across the street and cried out loud.

Today, as soon as she arrived at work, she was called aside by a senior reporter from the news department, Reporter Zhong.

She never expected that anyone would see her, let alone ask questions.

Second sister Fan Zheqin seems to have only now realized the importance of education in the field of social relations for the younger generation

Xiao Duo felt quite angry; she already felt embarrassed that someone had seen her cry, and now this person was rushing to ask about her feelings

Contrary to expectations, there was no outburst of anger; however, Xiao Duo trembled slightly, carefully reviewing the manuscript, fearing that another mistake might occur

Seeing that my second sister was about to nag again, I took her arm and acted cute, saying, "I know, sister, I will do well."

Xiao Duo involuntarily defended, "I didn't know that draft was from the station's reporter; it was Director Ma who asked me to revise it."

She felt that the order of the paragraphs in this draft was incorrect, and with a red pen, she marked the paragraphs to indicate that they should be reversed. A short piece of paper became a patchwork of ink under her pen

Unexpectedly, while she was still sobbing, a voice emerged: "What happened? Why are you crying so sadly?"

From that day on, Xiao Duo began working in the communications department of the television station, handling the task of editing news briefs

However, she knows that she does not yet possess that ability; revising drafts in the communications department is a way to hone her fundamental skills

Second Sister is simply accompanying her. After greeting acquaintances, she pulled Xiao Duo into the director's office: "Director Liu, I have come to accompany my sister for her registration. Please educate her more in the future."

Fan Xiaoduo did not expect that it was this press release that caused a great disaster

As soon as this thought arose, Xiao Duo was frightened and ran away, simultaneously letting out a piercing cry for help: "Help!"

Xiao Duo finally felt relieved and slowly took the bus home

As soon as I entered the door, I ran into an acquaintance: "Oh, isn't that Sister Fan from the Publicity Department? Why didn't you give me a heads-up before coming to the office?"

Unexpectedly, while she was still sobbing, a voice emerged: "What happened? Why are you crying so sadly?"

After speaking, he turned around and left

After walking just a few steps, that person unexpectedly caught up: "Seeing you here crying for half a day all alone, I kindly came to check on you, yet you respond with such an attitude?"

Xiao Duo's face was flushed with embarrassment

Xiao Duo sat in the office, unsure of what to do

Once the words were spoken, Reporter Zhong pondered for a long time and smiled at Xiao Duo, saying, "In the future, pay a bit more attention."

The Communications Department usually only revises the drafts sent down, and our station's reporters are not even given the opportunity to have her make revisions.

Second sister could not resist Xiao Duo, and feeling uneasy, said to Xiao Duo: "I just happen to need to go to your office for some matters, let's go in together, it's not to keep you company"

Xiao Duo was somewhat confused, yet he understood a fair amount. The news release that he had put so much effort into was actually written by this old journalist using the materials from the television station below.

The former director of the Communications Department has been promoted to deputy station chief, leaving the position of director vacant. There are two deputy directors: one is Sister Zhang, and the other has the surname Ma. Both are vying openly and covertly for the position of director.

Unfortunately, she has six older brothers and sisters who are distributed across different industries and hold mid-to-senior level positions

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the second sister left, leaving Xiao Duo alone in the director's office

Fan Xiaoduo found it somewhat amusing and absurd. In the eyes of her family, she is still a child who has not grown up. Even at the age of 21, they still try to coax her with snacks.

The two young girls quickly became familiar with each other
