After squeezing his brain dry on the first day of work, Lin Shangzhou should go to work again, and did not say that he would work as intensively as on the first day, and a week later, on Monday, February 24, it was the day when the newspaper paid his weekly salary.
Lin Shangzhou rode to the newspaper office at half past seven in the morning, and the newspaper office started work at eight to half past eight in the morning, and as long as he arrived within half an hour, he was not considered late, and he was considered late after half past eight; this was a rule set by the editor-in-chief of the newspaper office in order to take care of the employees who lived far away, and Lin Shangzhou set off from home at half past seven and rode to the newspaper office in thirty or forty minutes.
Coming to the door of the office on the second floor, Lin Shangzhou opened the door and walked in, he knew that he would pay his weekly salary today, and he was happy before getting his salary.
After greeting his colleagues one by one, Lin Shangzhou came to his seat and sat down, picked up the pen and prepared to start today's work, but before starting work, he also took out a novel from his drawer and put it on the table for the next fishing.
During this week's work, Lin Shangzhou found that the newspaper's supervision of fishing was very loose, and the deputy editor-in-chief would occasionally walk around the office area, and turn a blind eye when he saw someone touching fish, after all, the newspaper itself was not profitable, and this fact could not be changed by the efforts of employees.
The title of the novel is "Our Struggle", and the author is Ernst Röhm, an early high-ranking member of the Nazi movement in Germany in the OTL, the organizer of the stormtroopers, and a best-selling author in this world.
Lin Shangzhou felt very curious when he saw this book in the bookstore, he had never read Xiaomu's "My Struggle", so he was very interested in this book "Our Struggle" written by Roma, so he simply bought it and used it to fish at work.
Lin Shangzhou has read less than a quarter of this novel, and from what he reads, it is Rohm's account of his participation in World War I and the story of him and his comrades in World War I, which also includes the mustache of this world, oh yes, the Hitler of this world died in World War I, and it seems that he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, anyway, Hitler is a positive character in this world.
Now Lin Shangzhou has to fish for half an hour to write a manuscript, and then he starts to write the second one, and then he fishes for half an hour after writing, and his speed of writing the manuscript has slowed down a lot, and he will start working at half past eight and a half and get off work at eleven o'clock, and write three manuscripts in two and a half hours.
At ten fifty-five, Lin Shangzhou raised his hand to look at the watch he bought a few days ago on his wrist, and after learning the current time, he put down the pen in his right hand and prepared to get off work.
At this time, the deputy editor-in-chief with a spring breeze came out of the office, he walked to the aisle of the office area and clapped his hands to signal everyone to stop working, and everyone focused their eyes on her, some people knew why the deputy editor-in-chief was so happy, and some people were full of doubts, knowing that the deputy editor-in-chief would not have such a happy expression on his face for a long time.
"Today, I want to announce a piece of good news to you, great news
!" "The sales of our newspaper last week increased significantly compared with last week, and the growth rate was more than double that of last week!" The
deputy editor-in-chief happily said this to everyone, and the employees also showed happy smiles and applauded after hearing the increase in newspaper sales, and even cheered, which is a good thing for the people of the newspaper.
Lin Shangzhou naturally smiled and applauded, it is a good thing that someone buys newspapers.
The deputy editor-in-chief stretched out his hand to silence the happy employees.
"Okay, okay, let's be quiet.
"I'm sure everyone knows what our Workers' Daily sales are like on a regular basis, and some of you may be able to guess what the reason for the increase in sales last week was. The
deputy editor-in-chief looked at Lin Shangzhou and said to him with a grin: "It's because the story written by our new story editor-in-charge, Fritz, is so good that it is very popular with the masses."
Everyone's eyes shifted to Lin Shangzhou, which made Lin Shangzhou feel a little embarrassed, and he didn't expect the story he wrote to be so popular.
The deputy editor-in-chief walked briskly towards Lin Shangzhou, Lin Shangzhou also hurriedly got up, the deputy editor-in-chief walked up to him and shook his hand, and said sincerely: "Filitz, on behalf of the newspaper, I sincerely thank you for your efforts, I know that writing a story is not easy, I also listened to Monchi, Jesús and they told you about your hard work, I really appreciate everything you have done for the newspaper."
"Whereever, deputy editor-in-chief, you are serious, this is what I should do, and it is also my honor that my story can increase the sales of the newspaper."
Lin Shangzhou said modestly, he glanced at Monchi and Jesús with his eyes, one of them smiled at him, and the other winked at him.
What should he say, obviously he was in a state of half-fishing every day after the first day, but Jesús and Monchi and others told the deputy editor-in-chief that they had been working hard... When you have the opportunity in the future, treat them to a meal.
The deputy editor-in-chief thanked Lin Shangzhou well, and his somewhat exaggerated performance also let Lin Shangzhou know how bad the previous sales of the newspaper's newspaper were.
The main sales groups of the "Workers' Daily" are the common people and workers, and the common people can choose many newspapers, not necessarily the "Workers' Daily", the workers do not necessarily have time to read the newspaper, and some of them may not be literate, under such dual factors, the willingness of the workers to buy the newspaper is naturally much weaker, and for them it may be better to lie in bed and play poker with the workers, the former costs money, and the latter may also make money.
Although the sales of the newspaper doubled last week, it was not enough to support the salary of an entire newspaper company, so the money for the salary was still the editor-in-chief's.
Because of Lin Shangzhou's excellent performance, his weekly salary this time changed from 15 marks to 25 marks, which almost doubled, which made other employees very envious, but they were only envious and not jealous, they knew very well that they did not have the ability to double the sales of newspapers.
After paying the salary, the big guys left one after another to eat, and Lin Shangzhou saw Jesus and Monchi walking together after walking out of the newspaper office, so he walked over and stopped them.
"Monchi, Jesús, Jonathan, Eric. Hearing
Lin Shangzhou call his name, the four of them turned to look at him, and Meng Qi asked, "Filitz, is there something
wrong?" "Tell the deputy editor-in-chief that I work hard is the four of you, right?"
Lin Shangzhou asked, Jesús nodded and quipped: "Although you were also fishing later, you did work the first day, so it is not wrong." The
other three also nodded, among them, Jonathan was one of the members of the publishing department and had a good relationship with Jesús, while Eric was the one who talked with Monchi that day about Lin Shangzhou's hard work, and they had a good relationship.
"You have all praised me in front of the deputy editor-in-chief, I also have to make some expressions, go, I will invite you to eat at noon today, you can choose what you want to eat.
Lin Shangzhou waved his hand and said very boldly, and after speaking, he immediately added: "But we can't afford to hire it if it's too high-end."
"Oh, look at what you said, are we that kind of people? Let's go, let's see what we want to eat."
Jesus put his arm around Lin Shangzhou's shoulders and pulled him between the four of them, and then the four of them discussed what to eat for lunch as they went, and finally went to the Chinese restaurant that was hell for Lin Shangzhou at Eric's suggestion.
The one he went to today was a real hell for him, different from the one in Berlin before, the food in this house was really strange, but those three people all wanted to come and try Chinese food, and Lin Shangzhou could only bite the bullet.
After lunch, the five of them walked slowly on the way to the return club, and as they walked, Jesús asked Lin Shangzhou curiously: "Fritz, how did you come to Germany as a Chinese? When did you come? and why did you come to Strasbourg I am curious." The
other three also looked at him curiously, waiting for Lin Shangzhou to answer.
He thought for a moment and said:
"I came to live in Germany with my uncle ten years ago, he worked as a driver in Berlin, and I also worked as a driver in Berlin before I came to Strasbourg, but then I got into trouble, and a friend of mine suggested that I come to live in Strasbourg, and it happened that she also knew someone here, so I simply came, and her friend had an apartment building and a bar, and she asked me to live in his apartment, and even helped me find a job in a newspaper."
After listening to Lin Shangzhou's story, Meng Qi said to him:
"Then you are really lucky, your friend must have a very, very good relationship with you, otherwise she would not ask her friend to take special care of you."
Jesus's attention was a little strange, he patted Lin Shangzhou on the shoulder, showed an inexplicable smile and said, "Fritz, that friend of yours is a girl, right? Do you think she will like you? Otherwise, she wouldn't do it." "
Tsk, come on, she's just friends with me.
Lin Shangzhou gave him a blank look, and said angrily that he was not stupid enough to think that Cecilia would like him.
"And you're living in her friend's apartment now?"
asked Erik.
"Well, sharing a room with a girl.
He regretted this, and Jesús screamed in surprise, and the other three looked at him in surprise.
Jesús pressed his hands on his shoulders and asked excitedly
, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, Fritz, you are actually living with a girl, tell me, she is not beautiful!
Meng Qi said as he took Jesus' hand off Lin Shangzhou's shoulder, but he was also curious about what kind of girl the girl he shared with Lin Shangzhou was.
Lin Shangzhou looked at Jesús with a disgusted face, this week's getting along he also has a corresponding understanding of Jesús and Monchi, Monchi people are steady, Jesús people are active type, the rest of the Eric people have a little different personality from Monchi, and Jonathan is a little introverted, he will go to the publishing department because of his personality, he is responsible for the layout of the newspaper in the publishing department.
"It's okay to tell you, she's a petite type, with brilliant blonde hair and a lovely face.
Lin Shangzhou said to the four of them, Laetia is very cute, taller than Alexandrine, and her figure is better than her, in Lin Shangzhou's opinion, Laetia's cutest time is when she sits on the sofa after getting up every morning and is confused, her confused little face makes Lin Shangzhou feel the urge to step forward and pinch it.
But he can't really pinch it, and if he does, it will be a big trouble.
Jesús looked at Lin Shangzhou with envy and said
, "Woo woo, I really envy you... Why don't I have a lovely female roommate?"
Monchi knocked Jesús on the head, causing him to cry out in pain.
"Hmph, look at your worthless look.
"How do you, a person with a wife, know the pain of not having a wife.
Jesus said, rubbing his head.
Lin Shangzhou looked at the noisy Monchi and Jesus, as well as Eric and Jonathan, who were watching the excitement, he felt very happy in his heart, this kind of life is actually very good.
"By the way, Monchi, I have an idea to tell the deputy editor-in-chief, I'll tell you about it first, and you can give me some advice.
Lin Shangzhou said to the four of them, this is the idea that came to his heart after thinking that his story was so well received.
"Speak, let's listen.
Monchi and Jesús quieted down, and the four of them waited for Lin Shangzhou to speak.
Lin Shangzhou organized the language to express his thoughts to them:
"Isn't my story very popular? I suggested to the deputy editor-in-chief that the story I wrote should be published as a novel, and if it is so popular in the newspaper, it must be very popular when it is published as a novel, and then it will be able to increase a new source of income for the newspaper."
Hearing his thoughts, the four of them fell into thought, and after more than ten seconds, Monchi nodded at him.
"It's a good idea, and the deputy editor-in-chief would probably agree that a book, while it costs more than a newspaper, is also more profitable than a newspaper, and much higher.
After he had finished speaking, Jesús continued: "We can print a few copies and sell them in the kiosk of our newspaper, and if they sell well, we can go into mass production, so that there is a chance for trial and error, and we will not hit a wall."
Eric and Jonathan nodded.
"I'll mention this matter to the deputy editor-in-chief that afternoon, and then you two will join me and tell the deputy editor-in-chief your suggestions.
Lin Shangzhou also agreed with the suggestions of the two.
Then the four of them returned to the newspaper office, and after going to work in the afternoon, Lin Shangzhou took Meng Qi and Jesús to the deputy editor-in-chief and put forward this suggestion, and after some consideration, the deputy editor-in-chief agreed to the matter.
The next thing is to see Lin Shangzhou's own efforts, the deputy editor-in-chief gave him a portable typewriter to take home to write the manuscript and tell him when he finished writing the manuscript and when to come back.
This sounds a little awkward, giving people a feeling that they won't come if they can't complete the task, so Lin Shangzhou felt weird when he agreed.
