Single Mom in the Eighties Chapter 98

After the May 1st holiday, the "Hundred Flowers Movie" magazine began to pack up and prepare to move.

After several months of running around, Secretary Gao finally rented a public property that he had been optimistic about before. He said it was a rent, but in fact it was almost the same as his own property, because the lease lasted for ten years. If you demolish and relocate, you can keep renting forever. What's more, the real estate leased out by the Housing Management Bureau has a very favorable price.

The new site is somewhat similar to the Guangming Bookstore where Liang Xiaobing works. It also has the layout of the front store and the backyard. The front store was rented by the Housing Management Bureau to China Construction Bank as a business office, and the backyard is now the new address of the magazine.

Yan Ruxu and Secretary Gao have visited this new site several times, and they are very satisfied. The most satisfying thing is that it is very close to the family courtyard of the Machinery Group, passing through a small alley, and it only takes 7 or 8 minutes to walk to the large courtyard of the family courtyard. the door.

It was Yan Ruxu who was able to rent this place. She didn't tell Secretary Gao, because she was not for the unit, but purely for herself. Secretary Gao also knew very well that with his connections, it was useless to find connections everywhere to invite people to drink.

There is no way, now is the humane society, it doesn't matter, nothing is easy to handle.

Now that the magazine office has money, Secretary Gao has saved a large amount of rent money, which he generously spent on the decoration of the new site. The interior of the house was repainted with white paint, the floor tiles were laid, and the water, electricity, doors and windows were refurbished. Painted, hired someone to renovate the courtyard, and purchased brand new tables, chairs, and office equipment.

We chose an auspicious day to officially move, and we set off firecrackers, held a relocation ceremony, and had a staff dinner, which was very grand.

Yan Ruxu had an independent editor-in-chief's office, got used to Huang Limei's twittering, and returned to a quiet place. In the first two days, she was still a little uncomfortable and felt a little lonely. Not only is she funny, what she longed for most before was this kind of quiet and undisturbed environment, but now that it has finally come true, she is not used to it.

Xi Yuanzheng slipped out during work hours and gave her a housewarming gift. It was a smiling God of Wealth with three long black beards, wearing a red embroidered robe, a golden crown on his head, and holding a large ingot. The workmanship is exquisite, the color is bright, the golden light is shining, and it has a delicate porcelain texture.

This was Xi Yuanzheng's wish, and Yan Ruxu couldn't refuse. She held the statue of the God of Wealth with both hands and put it on the highest cabinet, and unconsciously kept looking at the statue of the God of Wealth. With numbness in her back, she hurried over again, turned the God of Wealth in the opposite direction, and turned her back to her. She has never enshrined a statue of a god, but she also heard that there is a lot of attention to enshrining a statue, otherwise it will be counterproductive. This statue has become a hot potato. She thought, it is better to seal up the statue of the God of Wealth. Broke money.

Just about to stand up and implement it, Secretary Gao knocked on the door and came in, his face was flushed with a warm smile——Since moving here, the smile on Secretary Gao's face seemed to have been welded on, and it has not fallen off Pass.

He followed Yan Ruxu's hand and looked up: "Yo, did you invite the God of Wealth?"

Yan Ruxu took down the statue of the God of Wealth, put it on the cabinet, and said, "I'm about to put it away, I think it's creepy."

Secretary Gao gave her a dissatisfied look, and said, "The God of Wealth is a **** of auspiciousness, how could he scare everyone." Yan Ruxu hurriedly asked Yan Ruxu to spit on the ground. Take a sip. Only then was Secretary Gao satisfied, and he put his palms together and bowed in the direction of the God of Wealth, saying, "Children are ignorant, and God of Wealth and you have a lot of them, so don't be offended!"

Then he straightened the body of the God of Wealth again, carefully watched it with his hands behind his back, and kept admiring: "This workmanship is really fine, look at this expression, it is simply a work of art..."

Yan Ruxu thought for a while and said, "Secretary Gao, how about this **** of wealth, please go back?" She just didn't know how to place this god.

Secretary Gao was very moved, but this statue of the God of Wealth was too expensive, and he was embarrassed to take it.

Yan Ruxu said again: "If you get rich, it means that I also get rich. It's the same for any of us to worship. It's better for you to worship, lest I don't understand anything and offend the God of Wealth again."

"That's fine, then I'll make a sacrifice, and bless the business of our magazine office to prosper and make money!" Secretary Gao laughed, and carefully picked up the God of Wealth and returned to his office. Thinking that she just went to Yan Ruxu's office because she had something to do, so I had to go to her office.

"Old Yan," since Yan Ruxu was officially promoted to editor-in-chief of the editorial department, Secretary Gao's address for her was upgraded from "Xiao Yan" to "Old Yan". When she first heard this title, Yan Ruxu was taken aback. She always felt that she was not related to the word "old" no matter what, and it was very difficult to accept. When I went back to complain to Kang Congxin at night, Kang Congxin laughed and said, "The old characters do not represent age, but seniority, status in the society, and Secretary Gao's closeness to you." Yan Ruxu experienced it for a while, and understood After understanding the meaning of Kang Congxin's words, I felt that it was very reasonable. Secretary Gao's yelling at Xiaoyan Xiaoyan in front of the big guys really didn't show enough respect for her, as if she was still a little soldier from before.

Secretary Gao pays great attention to these small details.

Knowing Secretary Gao's intentions, Yan Ruxu could calmly accept the term "Old Yan" again.

"Secretary Gao." Yan Ruxu stood up and asked, "Is the God of Wealth settled?"

"It's settled, it's settled! I've been looking for an auspicious position for a long time. I just came here to tell you that next Wednesday, the Beijing Periodical Industry Association will hold a conference on 'How the periodical industry can do a good job in guiding youth ideological education in the new era'" Do you want to attend the symposium?"

The periodical industry association, referred to as the Beijing Periodical Association, is not an official unit, but a social organization spontaneously established by some magazine offices, editorial departments, and related printing and distribution units. The source of funds is the membership fees paid by each participating unit. "Hundred Flowers Film" magazine joined after it became independent. Since joining the association, Secretary Gao has been actively participating in the activities of the association.

Yan Ruxu was most annoyed by this kind of seminar that was boring, shouted slogans, and did not produce any real results after the meeting, so she said: "I won't go, arrange someone else."

Secretary Gao didn't force him, but after thinking about it, he said, "Then arrange for Chen Yang to go and communicate with seniors in the same industry, and listen to what they think and say. This is a rare opportunity for training and improvement."

Because the CCB is right in front of the unit, deposits and withdrawals are convenient, so Yan Ruxu has a CCB passbook. Xiao Zhao from China Construction Bank and an editor from Wang Wenqiang's group were classmates in high school. She ran to the magazine office when she had nothing to do, but she fooled many colleagues in the agency into buying treasury bills.

Yan Ruxu didn't buy treasury bills, thinking they were inflexible and could only be redeemed after five years. She is still used to depositing surplus money in the bank. At this time, the bank interest is unmatched by future generations. It is unprecedentedly high. The fixed deposit can reach up to about 15%. Eating deposit interest, being an "interest master" is enough to live a life of eating and drinking.

Wang Wenqiang transferred back to the Daily before the independence of the magazine, following Han Mei's path. After the independence of the magazine, Wang Wenqiang personally told one of his editors. The editor bought him a drink, and he bragged about it. He said that Han Mei was a leader of Xiaomi, and he took advantage of him, but he still refused to say who the leader was. But I also know that he is a person with real power, otherwise it is impossible to have the ability to emphasize Wang Wen back.

That subordinate didn't intend to help Wang Wenqiang hide this matter, so he told the people in the office when he came to the unit the next day, and it quickly spread throughout the magazine, and everyone suddenly realized. It has been speculated before that Han Mei, a foreign girl with no relatives and no reason in this city, and her reputation has been discredited by Wang Wenqiang's wife, how could she have so much energy transferred from the second-level unit to the first-level unit? Case solved.

For a time, there were those who despised Wang Wenqiang and those who admired him.

Regardless of the fact that after independence, the monthly wages of the magazine's employees have increased several times compared to before, and Secretary Gao has been wooing everyone, wanting everyone's loyalty, centripetal force and cohesion, but the inherent thinking is there, there are always a few older people Some old employees have a pessimistic attitude, bad-mouthing the magazine, and can't be united with the magazine. What's more, they walk around the office every day with negative emotions, which hinders the magazine.

For these few black sheep, Secretary Gao has been researching ways to deal with them. At the beginning, he divided them up and talked to them one by one. Although I still have some reservations, I am still willing to work hard and contribute to the development of the magazine.

In the end, there were only two diehards left, and Secretary Gao stopped being polite, and mercilessly adopted methods of running on and isolating them, leaving them alone and marginalizing them.

Others have big wallets every month, but they can only get basic wages. At the beginning, these people thought that it would be a big deal to treat them as early retirement, a cup of tea, a newspaper, and sit for a day, but after a long time, they couldn't take it anymore.

The other colleagues were all so busy, with their feet on the back of their heads, only a few of them were extremely leisurely, and the differences between the big guys would naturally arise.

These two people went to work every day as if they were tortured and imprisoned. Later, they couldn't take it anymore, so they learned from Qiu Dezhi, took sick leave for a long time, and went to the back door to find a doctor to issue a sick leave note. Secretary Gao readily approved it. This is the result he wants, he has no right to fire people, but he can squeeze people so hard that they can't stay any longer, and the magazine can still afford the basic salary for these two people every month.

On the contrary, Qiu Dezhi, who wanted to grab the ready-made credit, failed to grab it. Instead, he was put together by Secretary Gao. His face turned cold, it was education and threats, but it frightened him, fearing that he would not be safe at the end of the year, so he quickly changed his previous style and started working in the logistics.

If you work hard, you will get more bonuses. Qiu Dezhi finally tasted the sweetness. Looking at the generous salary in his hand, he was full of pride for a while, and he rejuvenated the entrepreneurial spirit he had when he was young, and he gave birth to "Old Man Talking With the lofty ambitions of "go crazy" and "a scholar will die for his confidant", he ran to Secretary Gao to express his loyalty with all his heart and soul.

Secretary Gao has never been a stingy person, and he is willing to give people opportunities. At the time of employment, the two peers held hands tightly and vowed to dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to develop the magazine better.

Although Qiu Dezhi is a bit bureaucratic, he is conscientious and responsible, diligent and frugal, and a little bit stingy.

Facts have proved that Secretary Gao is very knowledgeable and capable. For example, he uses Yan Ruxu, Chen Yang, and Qiu Dezhi. These few people have their own problems, and they are not ideal candidates for training, but Secretary Gao is willing to give them a chance. As a result, the development of the magazine is getting better and better.

On Wednesday afternoon, Chen Yang came back from attending the seminar held by the Beijing Association of Publications, with a dejected and annoyed expression on his face.

Conventionally speaking, after participating in this kind of seminar, you should give feedback to the leader and convey the spirit of the seminar as soon as possible. Secretary Gao also specially called Yan Ruxu to the office to listen together. Although Yan Ruxu was not interested, he wanted to show Secretary Gao face and force himself to come over, but found that Chen Yang's energy after attending the seminar was even more sluggish.

Secretary Gao was surprised. Chen Yang was asked to participate in this kind of activities before. After he came back, he was full of energy and fighting spirit, especially with his demeanor when he was young, but now he is wilting like Shuang beaten eggplants. Baji.

Secretary Gao was not in a hurry to ask questions, and made tea for Yan Ruxu and Chen Yang with the tea leaves he had collected.

Beijing in mid-May is not too warm, and sometimes the north wind blows, which makes people feel cold. People who are afraid of the cold are still wearing sweaters, and those who are not afraid of the cold can't wait to wear unlined clothes and shirts. Secretary Gao's office was too big, and the reception area near the door lost the sunlight, making it very shady. Chen Yang covered his hands with the cup in his hands, and took another two sips. After drinking the hot water, his mood eased a little.

He said, "Secretary Gao, I didn't go to the seminar today, but to the criticism meeting. Today I have seen what it means to pick up the bowl to eat, and put down the bowl to scold mother!"

Secretary Gao was startled, and even Yan Ruxu, who was absent-minded, sat upright and listened to Chen Yang's narration.

"They named and criticized several publications including our magazine, saying that we are a mass media, a star, and a martial artist. It is useless to the construction of socialist ideology, but it has contributed to the atmosphere of capitalist hedonism. ..."

Chen Yang still had more exaggerated remarks to say, but seeing Secretary Gao's face getting darker and darker, he suddenly couldn't bear to hit him anymore. The reason why he said, "Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the rice bowl and scold your mother" is because when the magazine joined the Beijing Publishing Association, the Publishing Association asked him for a large amount of sponsorship fees.

Why didn't you say that they were "the music of the wind" when you asked the magazine for the sponsorship fee?

Couldn't bear to say it, but still couldn't get over it, Chen Yang went on to say, "They asked our magazines to give top priority to improving the ideological and political nature of the articles."

"It's unreasonable! We are a movie magazine. We want to educate the people. There are so many party and government periodicals! This is different from the division of labor in society. You can't let the salesperson in the store study the atomic bomb!" Secretary Gao Holding back his anger, he couldn't help standing up and walking around on the ground.

"Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. People's love is the most important thing. The high sales volume of our magazine shows the problem. Now the leaders say that a hundred flowers should bloom, but they have all made one size fits all. A guy who can only shout slogans!"

Yan Ruxu didn't feel very angry, she had never had a good impression of such a social group.

The more Secretary Gao talked, the more angry he became. Seeing that his blood pressure went up again, Yan Ruxu hurriedly comforted him: "Secretary Gao, don't be so angry. The Publishing Association is not a cultural bureau, but a social group organized by the people spontaneously, not us. The competent authorities have no law enforcement power. Their criticism of us is like the chirping of cicadas in summer. Although it is harsh, it is only annoying and does not affect normal life."

Secretary Gao could still hear Yan Ruxu's words. He took two deep breaths, took another two sips of water, wiped off the water stains, and said, "You're right, you're right, what they're talking about is bullshit. Wind in your ears!"

Secretary Gao regretted that he wanted to join the Association of Journals with all his heart. He didn't get any benefits other than becoming a member of the Association of Journals. Not only that, the magazine paid a lot of money and became the object of criticism. What the **** is going on!

Chen Yang felt that his anger was too high, so he quickly followed Yan Ruxu to comfort Secretary Gao.

Secretary Gao was taken aback suddenly, his temper came and went quickly, if he had no heart, he wouldn't be what he is now. After being persuaded by the two of you one by one, Secretary Gao's anger slowly calmed down.

He took another sip of tea, spit out the tea leaves, and said, "Isn't it just a journal association? Don't ask me to pay another penny for sponsorship fees in the future! We will also do this kind of **** seminars in the future." If you don't participate, let them play around, say whatever they want, and shut down our magazine if they have the ability!”

On the weekend, Jiang Yun invites the full moon at home.

Jiang Yun was born in early April, half a month earlier than the original due date. The baby was born by caesarean section and weighed less than 5 catties. Emergency rescue was carried out after birth, and she almost failed to recover. The situation is considered stable when adults and children live together for more than a month.

Yan Ruxu and her colleagues gave the soup to Jiang Yun at the hospital on the third day after giving birth. At that time, Jiang Yun's face was sallow, she was pitifully thin, her whole body seemed to be drained, and she suddenly aged ten years.

His husband took special leave, and together with his natal mother, took care of her in the ward for 24 hours in shifts. Jiang Yun was well taken care of, but her body was exhausted from pregnancy to childbirth, and it would not take a day or two to recuperate well. of. However, she was in a good mood. The family did not dare to tell her that the child was almost impossible to save. They only said that the child was born prematurely. They were afraid that there would be too many germs in the ward, so they had been kept in the special ward. Jiang Yun has a good wish to take care of her body as soon as possible and take care of her children herself, so she works hard to take care of her body.

Later, when she was about to be discharged from the hospital, Yan Ruxu went to see her again. At that time, Jiang Yun's complexion improved a lot and she became more energetic, but she was still very thin.

After living in the courtyard for a month, and being raised at home for a while, he finally recovered, so he quickly invited Man Yue. Jiang Yun was still thin, the sallowness on her face had dissipated a lot, she looked pale, and the yellow spots on her face could not be concealed.

Jiang Yun had symptoms of prenatal depression, but later she was born prematurely and had a hard time giving birth. After giving birth, she has been in poor health. She always wanted to get over it and take care of her body, so she didn't care about any depression at all.

Jiang Yun was very happy to see her colleagues coming over, and said, "I've been locked up in the house for two months, and I'm almost suffocated. I really want to go to work early!" She told Yan Ruxu that she planned to go to work after another two months of rest. work.

Yan Ruxu didn't object. Jiang Yun is the key editor of the magazine. Her coming to work is a good thing for the magazine. She asked, "Is there someone to take care of the child?"

Jiang Yun said: "My mother-in-law doesn't want to go to work anymore when she has a grandson, and she is going through the retirement procedures. I didn't expect to be at home with her, staring at each other. We will have differences now. I'm afraid that after a long time I will quarrel with her. It is better to go to work, it is much easier to go to work than to take care of the children at home."

In August, Jiang Yun officially returned to work, and Yan Ruxu felt much more relaxed. Jiang Yun has worked with her partner for so many years, and she understands and implements Yan's plan better than anyone else.

Because of Yan Ruxu's selfishness, Jiang Yun has been reserved the editor-in-chief position. Before that, another editor-in-chief, Wang Wenqiang, was also transferred back to the daily office, which means that the publishing house has never had an editor-in-chief. Secretary Gao wanted to promote Chen Yang, and Yan Ruxu didn't object, but he still waited for Jiang Yun to be promoted together after he was reinstated.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Secretary Gao and Yan Ruxu adjusted the structure of the magazine. They still set up two editorial teams, a logistics team and a publishing team, and specially selected two suitable employees to form an advertising team. In the future, everyone will be able to perform their duties and focus on their own work.

The author has something to say:
