Chapter 463: Sweet pastry
“…”
Lu Miao swallowed inaudibly.
The expression on his face did not change, but he began to sweat in his heart.
As for the letter of recommendation, she had imagined what the situation would be like after meeting Director Ma.
But because the probability was not very high, she didn't pay much attention to it.
But, who would have thought of it?
Translators were scarce in the 1970s, but the circle was not that small.
Such a small probability event, it just happened!
“This little comrade is extraordinary. He helped me a lot a year ago.”
Director Ma didn't notice Lu Miao's emotional tension. He smiled and patted Liu Shouyi on the shoulder, explaining:
"She came here to study and it was inconvenient for her to come to my place, so I wrote to her. A letter of recommendation for her to come here... Ouch."
Director Ma changed the topic and glanced between Lu Miao and Liu Shouyi. Finally, his curiosity fell on Liu Shouyi:
"How did you know each other? What is your connection?"
Director Ma joked.
Liu Shouyi also called Lu Miao and Comrade Lu just now, and Director Ma heard it.
Liu Shouyi was very excited when he heard that Director Ma knew Lu Miao.
But when Director Ma asked about the "origin" between him and Lu Miao, Liu Shouyi swallowed hard and sweat broke out on his forehead.
Liu Shouyi scratched the back of his head, embarrassed, as if time had gone back decades and he was back to when he was still Teacher Ma's student.
“Comrade Xiao Lu came here to look for work as a translator...”
Halfway through his words, Liu Shouyi's head felt like fireworks exploding. With a "boom", he suddenly thought of something.
Wait——!
Recommendation letter...come here?
What does this mean?
Could it be that his teacher recommended Comrade Xiao Lu to Sitong News Agency? ?
Liu Shouyi suddenly widened his eyes.
In the past, I only felt that I missed a good seedling and a good helper. Now, with hindsight, I suddenly realized that I seemed to have committed a big death.
Today's unexpected meeting made Lu Miao and Liu Shouyi over-interpret time.
Director Ma saw Liu Shouyi's expression as if he had seen a ghost. He hissed, frowned and asked seriously:
"What the hell, you didn't like her?"
"..."
When he thought that the person might have been recommended to him in the first place, Liu Shouyi was silent for a while, not knowing how to explain it.
After a long while, he hesitated and said:
"No, no, it's not that I didn't like us, it was Comrade Xiao Lu who didn't like us..."
The mentioned "Comrade Xiao Lu" was once again excited.
Meeting Director Ma's gaze, Lu Miao's lips curved, but the corners of her mouth trembled, making it difficult to maintain a smile.
Lu Miao thought that the letter was from Director Ma asking her to come to Sitong News Agency, and she was still thinking that Director Ma might not be happy with the matter developing to this point.
Maybe you will think that she doesn’t know how to appreciate others.
While hesitating and embarrassed, Director Ma suddenly laughed heartily, pushed up his glasses, patted Liu Shouyi and said:
"Don't be discouraged, I have arranged better things for her. She didn’t go to your place, it’s not necessarily because she doesn’t like you.”
Director Ma was still laughing heartily "Hahaha", but Lu Miao and Liu Shouyi were both stunned.
Wait.
A better place...
The letter of recommendation was not recommended to Sitong Newspaper Company, could it be...
To the People's Literature Publishing House?
The more she thought about it, the more Lu Miao breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this matter took some twists and turns, it still came to the right place and seemed to have come full circle.
Liu Shouyi was not in such a good mood.
It’s rare to find someone reliable who can help, but the teacher didn’t give him priority!
Liu Shouyi sighed, secretly feeling sad, and knowing in his heart that there were few available manpower at this stage. Good talents are the meat and potatoes. Once they are available, they are arranged to be sent to places with a large demand gap.
Everyone knows the truth, but Liu Shouyi feels very unfair.
This matter can’t be done. It will be private for a while. He has to talk to the teacher!
Only the children who cry can get candy.
It doesn’t matter that the teacher didn’t consider having sex with him this time.
When he finishes howling hard, the teacher will definitely think of him next time.
Liu Shouyi was worried about Xiao Jiujiu. Over there, Director Ma and Lu Miao were already comforting and exchanging pleasantries.
"How is it? You are still in school, can you still have the time and energy to keep up with the progress there?"
"It's okay."
"Haha."
Relief flashed across Director Ma's face, and his smile became more genuine:
"The rhythm and pressure there are very high. You must not be used to it when you first go there. If you have anything to do, you can go to Teacher Tan, and she will arrange adjustments for you."< br>
The work of the publishing house is also good, and the distribution is quite humane.
Lu Miao didn’t feel the rhythm pressure was too great.
But after thinking about it, she smiled gently and obediently, nodded in agreement:
"I know, Director Ma."
Director Ma nodded, thinking that today was the weekend, and at this time, she might still have manuscript tasks, so he didn't pester her to say more. .
Director Ma patted her shoulder gently and spoke in a friendly tone, like an old father who hopes his son will succeed and his daughter will succeed:
"Come on and work hard. When you have time to wait, the old man will take the time to watch." It’s up to you to go.”
Lu Miao was startled, feeling slightly moved while feeling ashamed.
Speaking of which, it was Director Ma who she met when she entered the industry.
We have reached this point thanks to Director Ma’s encouragement, praise and recommendation.
Director Ma is not young, so she should go and see him when she has time, so why go the other way and let him come and see her?
"Stop working so hard. I'll go see you when I have a holiday soon."
Director Ma waved his hand and said "Hey", "You have serious things to be busy with." , I don’t want to waste time in other places, listen to the old man, work hard, work hard”
Lu Miao had no choice but to nod.
Director Ma smiled with satisfaction and waved her hand happily:
"You have to wait for the bus, right? Go ahead, don't waste time."
Lu Miao He leaned forward slightly and bowed slightly to Director Ma and Liu Shouyi:
"Then...see you later."
Director Ma waved goodbye.
Liu Shouyi followed suit and waved his hand.
Watching Lu Miao get on the bus, Director Ma nodded happily and turned around to go to the newspaper office with Liu Shouyi.
Liu Shouyi was full of manuscripts, and finally couldn't bear it anymore:
"Teacher, why don't you think of arranging it for me? The translation work of the newspaper office was all done before. I am doing it slowly.”
"You can finish your little work by yourself, so why do you need to take up such good crops?"
At that time, in front of Lu Miao, Director Ma was still talking to Liu Shouyi. You're being polite, now it's just a famous brand.
There are jobs in newspapers, but they are all marginal entertainment.
If you have talented people, you must send them to government agencies.
Liu Shouyi opened his mouth and suddenly stopped.
Seeing that the teacher was not waiting for him, he widened his eyes and took the initiative to chase after him:
"There is a big gap there. How can I finish it by myself?"
Don't say that he is alone. , now even with Wang Mian recommended by Lu Miao, the working hours are tight.
Every week I have to work hard for a long time to complete it.
