door to happiness

At five o'clock in the afternoon, I arrived at the company on time, and Li Hai was already packing up his things and preparing to go home.He looked at his watch and said with some dissatisfaction: "Can you come earlier in the future? Other colleagues get off work at 04:30, and I have to wait for you for an extra half an hour. If this happens every day, then I will Don't be so annoying! Then, this is a photo taken yesterday, you should adjust the color first. Before coloring, remember to back up the original manuscript! Stay up until eight o'clock in the evening, and you can go home from work!"

After the confession, he left quickly, and when he reached the door of the office, he stopped again: "There are only three colleagues in the evening shift, Sister Chen, you, and Lu Zimei from the editorial department—your alumni. Sister Chen will do!"

The so-called night shift is probably a night watch, and it is generally held by interns.Some customers probably have urgent matters and will contact the company at night, and the purpose of staying here is to deal with these trivial matters.The boss is probably based on the mentality of "interns don't use it for nothing"!Later, the wages rose and the labor costs increased, so there was no night shift. This is a later story!

Coloring is not a difficult task!My major is fine arts, and I am very sensitive to the color, but it is always difficult to operate Photoshop, and I can't adjust the color I want!

While sighing, Lu Zimei came over with a cup of coffee.She handed it to me and said with a smile, "Why, do you start to feel sleepy? Have a cup of coffee to relieve fatigue!"

"Don't you need to do something?"

"Working?" She shrugged, "Every day is a boring proofreading, my eyes are blurred, I have to relax! I have a big news, do you want to hear it?" There was a weird smile on the corner of her mouth, a kind of Uneasy feelings flooded into my heart.

"What news?"

"Just this morning, Liang Yan was informed that the sponsorship had been cancelled! Sponsorship—you should know what I mean, right? You guessed right, Sister Yang and I are indeed very close, not my mother but better than my mother. She has always loved me very much, and she will give me whatever I want. This time, the sponsorship of the magazine was stopped because I asked for it!"

My heart trembled, my hands trembled, and the coffee spilled out, splashing all over me.

"Zhang Hong, don't get too excited. Liang Yan is a ruthless character, which is very similar to me—she won't fall down easily!"

"You are too ruthless! Didn't you promise to publish one more issue? Why didn't you keep your promise? After reviewing the draft, finishing the typesetting, the film is also out, just waiting for printing, and now you are saying that you can't print it. Isn't that what you are doing? You guys are so ruthless! So ruthless! So ruthless!" I grabbed my coat and got up to leave!

"Where?"

"The printing house!"

"Look at this camera!" Lu Zimei pointed to the surveillance camera, "If you go out from here today, you probably won't have to come back here again! Also, Sister Yang has gone on a trip, and within half a month it will be Absolutely won’t come back! Even if you find a printing factory, it’s useless, you’d better think of another way!” She smiled so contemptuously.

Walking to the door, she suddenly turned around again and said provocatively, "You want to ask me why I did this, don't you? Because the other party is Liang Yan! Because the other party is Liang Yan, that's why I did this! Even if you step on her On the soles of my feet, I also feel uneasy! I hope you will not interfere with my holiday with her!"

holiday?This guy Liang Yan is careless, he doesn't know when he offended Lu Zimei, and he still follows her like a fool, this guy!

I called Liang Yan's cell phone, but I couldn't get through.This guy must be looking around like crazy, right?

I wonder if Li Xiangyu knows about this news!

I dialed his phone, and a very depressed voice came from there: "Liang Yan and I are waiting for Sister Yang at the printing factory—this is finally here! I thought that Lu Zimei would at least wait for this issue to come out." I didn’t expect that she would choose this juncture to make a move, how cruel! Everything is ready, I only owe Dongfeng, if this issue of the society cannot be published, the literary society will be ashamed!"

"Sister Yang has gone on a trip, and she won't be back in a short time! Let's find another way out, and come back with Liang Yan first!"

At eight o'clock in the evening, I couldn't wait to run to the KFC store where Li Xiangyu was.At this moment, everyone gathered there to discuss countermeasures.But what I didn't expect was that Lu Zimei actually appeared there.At this moment, Lu Zimei, Liang Yan, Liu Lei, Zhang Lan, Lu Min, Li Yue and others were sitting around the table with more than a dozen beers on it. It seemed that they were about to get drunk.

Li Xiangyu still ordered meals for the guests with a smile on his face, and from time to time he glanced at everyone from the corner of his eye to pay attention to the development of the situation.

"Zhang Hong, you're here! Why are you so slow to clock in and leave work at the same time!" Lu Zimei grabbed me and pushed me on the chair, "Come on, I'll treat you to dinner today! At the same time, I'll call everyone together , I want to discuss the matter of the literary society. Although I have resigned, Liang Yan is my good sister, and her affairs are my affairs! No, it should be said that the affairs of the literary society are my affairs. After all, The brainchild of me over the past few years, the magazine is like my child, I don't want it to be destroyed!"

Which song did Lu Zimei sing?I wonder!

Liang Yan's eyes were red, she was depressed, and she drooped her head: "I'm sorry, Sister Lu, I didn't take good care of the literature club, and I owed you!"

"I can't blame you!" Lu Zimei sighed, gritted her teeth, opened a bottle of beer, then held her breath, drank three glasses in a row, and finally let out a long breath, "It's all because I didn't think carefully. , Only today’s consequences! Sister Yang has an ambiguous relationship with my dad, and she published the magazine for me for free in order to please me. I really hate her, and feel that she and my dad owe my mom! I spend her money so recklessly Qian, I just wanted to vent my anger! Think about it, what does it have to do with me if the literary club is not a literary club, and what does it have to do with me if it doesn't publish a magazine! I just feel wronged and want to punish her... "As she spoke, she couldn't help lying on the table and crying!

For the first time in so many years, I saw Lu Zimei cry!She was the kind of person who would not cry when her nose was bruised and face was swollen, and she would never shed tears when she was humiliated to the point of embarrassment, but today, she was crying in front of everyone.

Liang Yan hugged Lu Zimei and comforted her: "Stop crying, sister Lu! We all know the pain in your heart, stop crying! What's the big deal, isn't it just that you won't sponsor us? Let's find a way That’s right! All the students here, please listen to me clearly. No one is allowed to go outside and chew the root of the tongue that Sister Lu said today! If anyone dares to chew the root of the tongue outside, be careful, I will pull out his tongue and stew it eat!"

Everyone is obedient!I'm a little confused, isn't this Sister Yang really Lu Zimei's mother?If Sister Yang is Lu Zimei's father's lover, then they were so close last time - this Lu Zimei is really weird!

Lu Zimei cried for a while, finally stopped crying, and continued: "But a few days ago, she suddenly had a falling out with my dad, and even came to my house to smash things. It was scary to see her! We can't count on her, we just You can find your own way out. Liang Yan, do you still remember Mr. Li from "Longteng Packaging"? He cooperated with us once, and he praised you very much at that time. You might as well go find him and try it. If If he can solve the urgent need, that can be regarded as a big help!"

"I think our magazine can be charged!" Liang Yan sat upright, "We have published [-] or [-] issues, and there are eight or nine schools that send them regularly, and the children there are used to reading our magazine. This At that time, we charged a symbolic two or three yuan for a copy, shouldn't it be too much?"

Everyone hit it off and thought that this is a good method, which can not only solve the urgent problem, but also a long-term solution.If the journal has a fixed income, we can expand its printing, and encourage members to submit better manuscripts, and give corresponding manuscript fees, instead of unpaid labor.Invisibly, this can also drive the enthusiasm of members and increase their desire to write!

At this time, Li Xiangyu put two barrels of "family barrels" on the table, and said: "The ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny! You can go to each school tomorrow and you will know!" After that, he returned to his work post!

This guy, pour cold water on it!

"Jian Ning once said: You can do it if you try, and you can win by fighting! Why are you discouraged before you go out? Come on, let's assign a task, and everyone will go out together tomorrow. Zhang Hong, you are in charge of 'Junyuan' and 'Jiayi'..." Liang Yan was full of confidence and assigned tasks to everyone.

Even with a single spark, she can burn the entire grassland—this is Liang Yan!Encouraged by her, everyone's low morale rose instantly, and everyone was gearing up and eager to try.

But what Li Xiangyu said is right, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny!I went to 'Junyuan' and 'Jiayi', and explained the truth to the teachers there, but they didn't appreciate it at all, and even threatened: This magazine is originally for children, and the quality is not very high. Not worth buying.

But Zhang Lan, Liang Yan, Lu Min and others all ended in failure.

I asked Li Xiangyu why he could predict so accurately, and he said with a smile that this is human nature.In order to illustrate this truth, he also told me a short story: There used to be a pair of neighbors, each with a child.Every day it is the mother who picks up the children to and from the kindergarten.One day, because one of the mothers was working overtime, she asked the other mother to pick up her child by the way.The mother didn't think much about it, anyway, she was on the way anyway, so they picked it up together.Since then, the mother who worked overtime has become even more "busy", either working overtime or holding meetings. Picking up the children seems to be her neighbor's business.One day, her neighbor's mother asked her husband to pick it up because she was very busy, but her husband only picked up his own child.The mother who often held meetings was very angry when she found out.Since then, the harmony between neighbors has been broken!

"The mother in the meeting is really too much, and she has no obligation to help her pick up the child!"

"Who said no? But her neighbor made her like this! Help her pick up the child every day, make her get used to it, and it will become a matter of course when you get used to it. When others help you, and you still take it for granted, The communication between people will be out of balance! The literature club gave the school magazines for free for three years, and now they want to suddenly charge, what is the difference from that story?"

Yes, all this is what I am used to!

That day, I understood: Don't take other people's help for you for granted, no one is obliged to help you!Just like Sister Yang, she has been publishing journals for us for free, but we are complaining about her now.But is she really obliged to help me?It turns out that when we look at the problem, no one is as thorough as Li Xiangyu.

From that night on, I decided not to complain about Lu Zimei and Sister Yang any more.
