Chapter 509 New Colleagues

Author: The bear skimming the treetops

The appearance of Yan Su, a beautiful woman, aroused great concern within Lincheng Evening News.

Gu Nanzhu took Yan Su towards his office and met many colleagues on the way.

Everyone speculated about the identity of the young woman who was talking to the editor-in-chief's relatives.

Gu Nanzhu was in a very good mood today, but he did not stop to introduce it to his colleagues.

Yan Su followed Gu Nanzhu into the office and expressed her gratitude again: "Thank you to Editor-in-Chief Gu for giving me this opportunity. I will work hard in the newspaper office in the future to repay the editor-in-chief for his kindness."

Gu Nanzhu smiled and waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be so polite. From now on, everyone is our own people, so just be casual."

Gu Nanzhu opened the drawer and handed over a stack of materials: "These are the materials related to the news reports you are going to collect and write. They are all here. You need to take a look at them quickly!"

Yan Su took the information and looked through it, and soon her expression looked strange.

"Ms. Yan, do you have any questions? Do you think this interview is difficult? If you have any difficulties, just raise them now and I can coordinate and help you solve them." Gu Nanzhu said very seriously, "Of course.

If you feel that you are not qualified for this interviewing and writing job, you can substitute someone else."

The interviewing and writing task was handed over to Yan Su this time, which was actually for the purpose of taking the exam.

However, if the operation is really difficult, Gu Nanzhu will not insist on it blindly, but will respect Yan Su's opinion.

Yan Su shook his head and said: "No, Editor-in-Chief Gu, I have no intention of giving up. I just feel a little surprised that the person being interviewed is an acquaintance of mine."

"Oh? You actually know Professor Chen?" Gu Nanzhu couldn't help but said, his eyes filled with surprise.

A bitter smile appeared on Yan Su's face: "Professor Chen and I not only know each other, but I was able to enter the journalist industry because I followed Professor Chen's advice back then. It can be said that he is my guide!"

At the same time, Yan Su also looked at Gu Nanzhu in surprise: "Chief Editor Gu, you have been working and living in Lincheng. Do you also know Professor Chen?"

"We are old acquaintances. Strictly speaking, Professor Chen is still my junior student." Gu Nanzhu looked sad, "I have been friends with him for many years, but I didn't expect that you are also an acquaintance of his. Tell me carefully."

Tell me how you met."

With Professor Chen Zilian as a common acquaintance, Gu Nanzhu's attitude was more enthusiastic than before, which also surprised Yan Su.

Before Yan Su could answer, Gu Nanzhu told some stories about himself and Chen Zilian.

There was a two-year age difference between the two, and Gu Nanzhu took great care of this talented junior. In their spare time, the two often discussed various academic issues together.

After Gu Nanzhu graduated, he worked for several newspapers and periodicals, and finally came to Lincheng Evening News. Through his own efforts, he gradually reached the position of editor-in-chief.

Chen Zilian graduated two years later and stayed at the school to teach. After work, the two of them would often be together, and their relationship became deeper and deeper.

Gu Nanzhu poured a cup of hot tea for Yan Su and placed it in front of her with a humble attitude: "Miss Yan, tell me about your acquaintance with Zi Lian. Why have I never heard him talk about it?"

"Four years ago, when I was still in college, Professor Chen once went to Nanjing to give lectures. His lectures were very lively and the students really liked listening to them. After class, my classmates and I gathered around him and asked him some academic questions.

We got to know each other over and over again. Later he returned to Lincheng, and we also exchanged letters. He gave me a lot of help, but in the past few years, I have not been able to see him again to listen to his teachings. Mr. Gu

Editor, how is he now?"

Gu Nanzhu's face suddenly darkened.

Yan Su hurriedly asked: "Has Professor Chen left Lincheng? Where has he gone?"

Gu Nanzhu sighed heavily: "He not only left Xiaochen, but also left us forever!"

Yan Su looked at Gu Nanzhu in disbelief and lost his voice: "How could this happen? How could this happen? Professor Chen has always been in good health. He also pays attention to fitness. How could he... so early?"

Tears were welling up in her eyes, and they almost fell down.

"His death was not due to illness, but an accident."

Yan Su said anxiously: "What on earth is going on?"

Gu Nanzhu opened the drawer again and took out a neatly folded newspaper: "Miss Yan, the answers are all in this newspaper, read it yourself!"

Yan Su couldn't wait to take the newspaper and saw an article in the lower right corner of the front page with the title: "The university professor was actually a hidden red element and was arrested and shot to death in the street!"

Attached below is a photo of Chen Zilian.

The content of the article is very short, completely official, and does not explain the specific situation.

Yan Su felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His hands holding the newspaper were trembling: "This is impossible, how is this possible?"

Gu Nanzhu sighed and said: "Now that the matter has come to this, don't be too excited or too sad. The reason why I want to do an exclusive interview about his life story is to commemorate my old friend."

The tears finally couldn't stop sliding down Yan Su's cheeks.

Gu Nanzhu blamed himself: "I really didn't know that you knew him, otherwise I wouldn't have given you this writing task. Well, I'll give you another task!"

Gu Nanzhu does not want a reporter to work with personal emotions.

"No! There is no need to change. I accept this interviewing task, and I promise you that I will do a good job!" Yan Su looked firm.

"you sure?"

"Sure!"

Seeing Yan Su's insistence, Gu Nanzhu knew that she had made up her mind and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you!"

Next, Gu Nanzhu personally took Yan Su to the human resources department to go through the entry procedures, which surprised the staff in the human resources department.

The staff member who organized the interview with Gu Nanzhu was still cleaning up the conference room, and his colleagues did not know the specifics of the interview.

As the editor-in-chief of a newspaper, how could Gu Nanzhu personally take a newly hired reporter through the onboarding procedures?

Does this young woman have any important background?

Under Gu Nanzhu's urging, the entry procedures were completed very quickly.

After Yan Su filled out a bunch of forms, he officially joined the job and became an intern reporter for Lincheng Evening News.

The staff handed her a well-stamped press pass: "Reporter Yan, thank you for having already prepared the photos, otherwise I would have had to wait for a few days!"

Yan Su smiled and took the press pass: "I have been in this business before, so I naturally know the rules of this business!"

The staff member continued: "Next, we will conduct a detailed investigation into your personal situation. Please cooperate."

These are all necessary procedures for joining the job. Even if there is the endorsement of the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, none of the procedures should be omitted.

Gu Nanzhu said: "Investigation is an investigation, but reporter Yan has a very important reporting task these days, so don't disturb her for the time being. After the manuscript is handed in, you can conduct the investigation according to the procedures!"

"No problem at all!" the staff member replied with a smile, "Journalist Yan was able to receive reporting assignments as soon as she joined the job. We have to say congratulations!"

Everyone can see that Editor-in-Chief Gu is very fond of this young female reporter, and her future is boundless.

Yan Su smiled and thanked everyone, and then followed Gu Nanzhu to her new office.

Even though the Lincheng Evening News office is located in a single-family building, most reporters work in large offices. Only those above the deputy editor level have independent offices.

There are more than 20 people in Yan Su's office. The space is very large, but after putting in desks and chairs, it doesn't seem very spacious. Compared with the conditions in Nanjing, it is worse.

When they walked in, there were seven or eight reporters immersed in their work. A sharp-eyed female reporter saw Gu Nanzhu walking in and hurriedly reminded her colleagues.

Everyone stood up one after another.

"Editor-in-Chief Gu!"

"Hello, editor-in-chief!"

…

Gu Nanzhu greeted him with a smile. He didn't have any airs in the newspaper office. On the contrary, the more he acted like this, the more he won everyone's respect.

Gu Nanzhu turned around and called Yan Su to his side and introduced to everyone: "This is Yan Suyan, the new reporter of our newspaper. From now on, you will be your colleagues in the Department of Culture and Education. I hope you will support each other and work together to bring culture and education to the forefront."

The ministry’s work is well done!”

The so-called Ministry of Culture and Education is the department responsible for literature, art and education. However, with the development of newspapers in recent years, in addition to these two basic functions, health, sports and other contents have also been added, but everyone is still accustomed to calling it the Ministry of Culture and Education.

Having said this, Gu Nanzhu pointed at a middle-aged man and said, "Dengping, I'll leave Reporter Yan to you. She has a good foundation, but you have to lead her well."

The middle-aged man was probably in his early forties. His hair was combed to a shiny finish and he was meticulous. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked very elegant.

"Reporter Yan, this is Vice Minister Cui of the Ministry of Culture and Education. He is an old man from our Lincheng Evening News. If you have any questions about your work in the future, please feel free to ask him for advice."

Coincidentally, this Cui Dengping was the person who showed Yan Su the way.

Yan Su smiled at him and quickly stretched out his hand: "Minister Cui, please give me more advice in the future!"

Yan Su was brought here by Gu Nanzhu to report. No matter how slow he was, he would have guessed that the editor-in-chief attached great importance to Yan Su. Naturally, Cui Dengping did not dare to neglect him, and his eyes turned into lines with laughter.

"Reporter Yan, you're welcome. We are still very destined. If anything happens in the future, just call me and I promise to be on call. Haha..."

Gu Nanzhu asked in surprise: "Do you know each other?"

Cui Dengping explained: "When reporter Yan first came to the newspaper office just now, I was the one who showed him the way."

Gu Nanzhu smiled and said, "In that case, it's really fate."

At this time, other colleagues also introduced themselves and greeted Yan Su. They were all knowledgeable people and no one wanted to leave a good impression in front of Gu Nanzhu.

Among them, the two youngest men and women were the most enthusiastic about Yan Su's arrival. One of them was the female reporter who first spotted them walking in, named Ji Minzhi.

The male reporter’s name is Shi Changsong, and he has a childish look on his face.

Both of them are also trainee reporters, and they have been working for less than half a year after graduating from college.
