Photographic HD in the cold wind

The photo of our editorial department is Art editor, and the first one is the painter li wenping. After li wenping left, there came a photographer named Jiang Community.

Li wenping is indeed a painter. I have been to his place and painted a room full of oil paintings, all marked with pricing. The price is not too high, you can draw what you like. Li wenping can't be a beautiful editor, although he paints something. How can I put it? He doesn't know computers, and he is so anxious to sit in front of them that he doesn't even know where the computer switch is, let alone draw pictures with computers.

No one knows how he got in, but it's not surprising to think that someone like me was admitted. Our unit is a lovely training base, allowing self-study and refunding money. It doesn't matter if you have no skills, you can exercise slowly, and the editorial department has the patience to watch you grow step by step. It is said that Wang Zhiyong himself grew from a nobody to a middle-level leading cadre in the unit.

What kind of princes would rather have it?

Li wenping, a painter, has no ambition and Rainbow is brave. Therefore, when Wang Zhiyong repeatedly criticized li wenping with his newly-made magazine, the painter's strong self-esteem was unbearable. He stared at his little myopia and his face was livid. After a few excuses, he shut up in anger.

Wang Zhiyong is actually a person who likes mouth addiction. When he criticizes you, as long as you have a good attitude, show honesty and obedience, with a humble smile, nod and praise: "The president approved it well." Like this, he immediately stopped being angry, because all his people were obedient, which showed that the leader had prestige. If he says you pay me back, Wang Zhiyong will get more and more angry. Finally, he will hold his breath until you get paid next month.

The painter is always panting on his way home. He kept complaining to me about how he worked day and night this week, but his efforts didn't pay off, and he still can't reimburse the taxi fare, and so on.

I sat in the seat he grabbed for me, and I nodded in understanding. The painter thanked him very much and said, "Xiaoqing, you are so considerate." Our unit wants me to work hard with such a little money. If this continues, I will be driven crazy by the unit. "He paused and told me the story of his ex-girlfriend loudly. He said he had nothing now because his ex-girlfriend spent a lot of money on him and then dumped him, leaving him poor now.

The bus is very bumpy and noisy. Some of the painter's words were knocked out, so I didn't hear them clearly. He put his hands on the front and back chairs of my seat, almost holding me to his chest, which made me very uncomfortable. I have to look out of the window from time to time and occasionally glance at him politely.

Colorful lights flashed by before the car reached Wukesong. The painter talked a lot, and then began to talk about the house, saying that the rent of 600 yuan a month was too expensive, and he could hardly afford it.

I said, "Think about sharing a room with someone. Why don't we just divide it? "

He said, "Some housekeepers don't want to live in the living room."

"People pay half the rent, why do others live in the living room? Can't you put two single beds in the bedroom? "

"That doesn't work, I can't make room for them, I have so many paintings. Besides, if they want to live in, they can't bring their friends to play. I'm particularly afraid of noise.

I find it ridiculous to be so harsh. Everyone shares the room, but they have to live in the living room and are not allowed to bring friends. So selfish, no wonder girls deserve it. .......

We live in the same block. At first, I always go home with the painter and talk for an hour and a half. After a long time, I found that he was extremely narrow-minded, spreading news everywhere that he invited me to eat mutton skewers and oranges!

From then on, I never dared to go with him, let alone let him spend money.

03.

I feel particularly wronged, so I have to explain the kebabs and oranges.

The day when the painter invited me to eat mutton kebabs happened to be just out of the 308 station. I am cold and hungry. Passing by the steaming place selling mutton kebabs, with scarlet charcoal fire. The smell of mutton hit my face, and I couldn't help saying, "It's delicious."

The painter may have a whim and said, "Let me treat you to mutton kebabs!" " ! "

I know he is not a generous person, besides, he is just a colleague, selfless. He said politely, "No, let's go!"

But he won't: "I'm happy to invite a lady. Won't a lady feel honored? " "

As soon as I saw his enthusiasm, I thought, invite him. It doesn't cost me much to bake kebabs. I'll try to invite him back later. I insisted on not eating, which made me look very petty, so I nodded and said, "That's expensive."

The vendor selling skewers asked, "How many skewers do you want?"

I smelled the lovely smell of charcoal fire in the cold, and quickly calculated that a string of three hairs, ten strings, that is, three pieces, ten strings should not be too much-just thinking, the painter said to the stall owner, "OK, I'll take two strings." He turned to me and asked, "What about you?"

I froze there. This, this is so different from the number I thought, I don't know what to say at once. The painter waved generously, looked at me and said, "Why don't I give you three strings?" ? "

I nodded and said, ok.

The kebab man gave us a look.

My face is on fire.

The kebabs are ready. I stand in the cold wind with three kebabs and eat silently in front of the charcoal fire.

The vendor shouted in the wind, "There are mutton kebabs, which cost 30 cents each."

When she got home, Kiki cried and said, "Hey, what did you steal? It looks like a kebab. "

I'll tell you what just happened Everyone in the room laughed and said that I arranged other people's dishes and didn't invite people to eat mutton kebabs three times! They still stared at me and said, you smell like mutton, more than three strings?

When I was having dinner, A Qiang said, "There aren't many ribs cooked today. Since I have eaten mutton skewers, I will keep them for everyone! " ! "

I was so angry that I blurted out, "Damn it, didn't I pay for the food?" What's wrong with my mutton string? None of your business? "

Kiki saw that I was in a hurry and thought I was puzzling. She said, "What's the matter? The fire is so big, A Qiang is joking with you. "

This is not over. The next day, everyone in the office knew that the painter invited me to eat mutton kebabs after work, and I hated it.

Soon after, after getting off the bus, a cart selling oranges leaned against the side of the road, and the painter said he wanted to order oranges.

With the first experience, I told him clearly: "Buy it yourself, I don't want to eat it." "

He asked the price and chose two big ones to put on the plate: "Weigh two." "

After paying for the orange, the painter gave me one conveniently: "Take it, eat it!" "

I'm afraid I'll get entangled with him again. You'd better not get any benefits from such colleagues, or you will be in a mess. He smiled and said, "I really don't want to eat, thank you." "

Unexpectedly, li wenping was very unhappy and said, "Why are you so unhappy?"

I'm not happy? I was so scared that I answered it quickly.

Holding an orange in my hand, I smell the fresh fragrance from my palm to my nose, and I feel full of sweet juice. To tell you the truth, I was really thirsty after a long bus ride, but I was short of money, otherwise I would have bought it myself.

I swallowed secretly, and I wouldn't touch it if I was killed. The cold orange in your hand is hotter than the freshly baked sweet potato.

The painter quickly peeled off the skin and stuffed it into his mouth: "Oh, it's so cool and comfortable. Why not eat? " "

"I don't like oranges." After that, I handed back his orange. "You eat."

The painter took it and said with a smile, "Well, forget it if you don't eat it, then I'm welcome." "

04.

The painter has been nagging for a week to reimburse the fare, but Wang Zhiyong is not afraid of his nagging. The unit once said that "it needs to be called because of special and emergency situations, and it can only take effect after being approved by the executive editor". You don't know li wenping?

Li wenping said asking questions early and asking questions late are all requests, right? Is it necessary to look around for a public phone to call a taxi?

Li wenping took a thick stack of lists to find a post. Ren Chengxiao is very unhappy. He felt that the painter didn't respect him as the executive editor, so he didn't sign it for him and said, "Go find Wang Zhiyong."

Li wenping told Wang Zhiyong about it, and Wang Zhiyong severely criticized him, saying? This is the responsibility of the editor-in-chief You can get his approval and then sign it for me. "

The painter ran for more than 300 yuan in tandem with the reimbursement form for two months (according to the statement, not much). When he came back, he and Ren were flushed with anxiety, and the veins stood out. He cursed Ren as editor-in-chief, saying that Ren deliberately stuck him, sinister and sinister, and a smiling tiger.

Ren Chengxiao was very angry, but he still showed great self-control and left angrily after a few words.

Seeing Ren disagreeing with his theory, li wenping thought Ren was indefensible and said with ecstasy, "I quit. You didn't give me much money anyway. I didn't make any money here and gave it to your unit. "

Bai Jingjing let him rest assured, "keep your voice down, this is not a happy event, there are other units nearby. Well, I'll ask President Wang. " Said the office door closed.

Bai Jingjing dialed Wang Zhiyong's mobile phone and asked li wenping about the reimbursement. Holding the microphone for a long time, she put down the phone and said to Li Wenping, who was still aggrieved, "The president said he had something to deal with when he came back. But the president already knows about your quarrel with the editor-in-chief He said that if you don't respect your elders, don't respect your leaders, and don't pay attention to the influence, you will be fined 100 yuan. "

Hearing this, li wenping blushed and jumped up: "Is there a labor law? I am in a hurry. I will sue you in the labor bureau. You have to deduct, it's not that easy! "

As he spoke, he packed his things and left. When he arrived at the door, he turned back and said, "Director Bai, tell me that if he really wants to deduct my money, I will not stop with him."

But when li wenping left, Wang Zhiyong not only approved his reimbursement, but also gave him a lot of salary.

Bai Jingjing said that Wang Zhiyong is actually a respectable person, and he has several hundred dollars in total. Why did he force li wenping to sue him?

05.

After the painter left, Jiang Xiaoqu took over his work.

Jiang community is also very different, always in suits and ties, making it seem that you have to keep an appointment at any time. He has a pair of bubble eyes, and he is so focused on people that he seems to eat you. He put mousse in his hair, but there are many sandstorms in Beijing, so he always has a nest of sand in front of everyone.

Jiang community seldom laughs, always looks bitter, speaks with sadness in his eyebrows and eyes, and laughs with bitterness. If he is given a crutch and a broken bowl, he can go out and beg.

He was recruited by Li Tiemei, director of the distribution department of our unit.

Li Tiemei, with heavy eyebrows and long braids, is high-spirited and speaks with an accent, which sounds like Hong Zhong and smacks of a female revolutionary.

Wang Zhiyong goes to the countryside almost every day now. It is said that in order to support all the members of the editorial department, he is too busy to even ask about the recruitment. The magazine has published three issues, but the market has not reflected it, and he seems to no longer care. Time to come to the office is getting less and less. After a while, Cheng Xiao said that he changed cars, and the original red Fukang was replaced by Honda. During the dinner, I found that his mobile phone was also changed from diaosi black to local gold, which was different from the previous one.

Although there is no improvement in magazines, Wang Zhiyong's personal income has changed greatly.

06.

Jiang Xiaoqu is said to have been a senior photographer of China Pictorial. He especially likes taking pictures. Another feature of taking pictures is that people are holding his fingers happily everywhere. One issue of Jiang Community magazine used six photos taken by itself, and three of them all showed the same movement, that is, a person held his finger like an American holding a torch.

At the request of Jiang community, our reporter also made his model. He asked me to stand in the lobby of Shengli Cinema and point to the clothes I painted. After filming, he thought carefully and said, "Lin Xiaoqing, I'll give you 20 yuan after the photos are developed. I can't let you do it for nothing."

I didn't think about it there. As soon as he mentioned money, I suddenly got angry and wanted to dress my grandson! Regardless of whether he could stand it or not, he said impatiently, "If you want to calculate money, 20 yuan is definitely short. In order to be your model, I will take the subway from Bajiao to Xidan and take the bus here. Four yuan and eight yuan for a trip. In addition, I have to take a tricycle from home to the subway to get six yuan, a total of 14 yuan. Let me give you a closer look. It took me a long time to leave home at nine o'clock in the morning. Does it count? Is it 1 1: 30 or a meal? You won't pay for my meal? "

It made his eyes bubble, and he deserved it.

Jiang community can bear hardships. He is also an American editor and photographer. Although I am busy flying, I always try my best to make my own movies. Although the photos I took were really not very good, I still insisted on using my own, and explained that the president had stressed the need to use exclusive things.

A picture of 80 yuan is the same as the text. Everyone knows that Hejiang community insists on using its own photos to keep the water flowing.

We don't know what to say if we want to make personal income, but finally we feel that Jiang community regards this magazine as his private residence, so he criticized him by name at the meeting.

Jiang community is not embarrassed, but he dare not insist on using his own photos any more. He didn't make any money, so he saved more. He insisted on taking the bus when he made an appointment to go out for an interview. In fact, taxis will start at a price, but in order to save money, he stumbled on a crowded bus with such a heavy tripod and camera bag, and he was so tired that he foamed like a mule. Not to mention, I was hurt by him. Every time I wait for him at the appointed place, I want to jump up and scold.

His frugality also hurt the interviewee. It is often an appointment to take pictures of people, and at a certain time, he is still hanging in the car. Once, I made an appointment with an economist. I waited for him for half an hour before I saw him, and then I retreated. Get off at Jiangxiaoqu and call someone. The scholar was very polite and said where he was. If you want to film him, please hurry to Jiang Community and tell him a place. Jiang Xiaoqu is one-track-minded, knowing that the scholar is waiting for him there. Although he is in a hurry, he still has to catch the bus. As a result, the traffic jam caused the scholar to wait for more than an hour and finally could not help but go home. The next day, the scholar called the editorial department, and Bai Jingjing answered the phone. On the phone, the scholar cursed Jiang community and said how could we have journalists as stupid as pigs.

With a clear understanding of Jiang community, every time I go out for an interview with him, I simply let him take a taxi and pay for it myself. He has no manners, because there are few smiling faces. He always sits in the back row, with a tired face and sad eyes, just like a battered little widow.

I have a thin face and a soft heart, so I have to care: "What's the matter? So tired? "

Like li wenping, Jiang Xiaoqu especially likes to complain about the company. When I asked, I complained like a flood burst its banks.

He replied, "Oh, I think the president is too stingy to even reimburse the transportation expenses. Don't journalists from any media unit pay taxi fares? " Does your writer give taxi fare? "

I said, "Our writers are treated the same as your photographers. You always see me take a taxi and think it's my company's expense. It is all my own money. "

Jiang Jie stopped talking.

He is very frugal. He usually buys two biscuits at noon and even gives them away. Finally, one day, I saw him rushing upstairs with a snack box, and we roared around him, as if we had discovered the new world after Columbus. Jiang community proudly said, "I'm really tired of eating sesame cakes." Today, I finally saw a new fast food restaurant opened behind a restaurant. It looks pretty good. There are more than a dozen vegetarian dishes. I ordered it myself, only three yuan a box. "

He gasped and watched him shake open the fast food box: pepper, potato, cabbage and minced meat, which looked good. Jiang Xiaoqu took a big bite and we asked him how he tasted. Before Jiang Xiaoqu could answer us, he scratched a few endings and replied slowly, "Not bad, you can buy it there in the future, behind a restaurant." "

Soon, I heard from Bai Jingjing that Jiangqu bought a house in the Third Ring Road.

It turns out that among the colleagues in the editorial department, Jiang community is the one with strength. I was just listening, and I realized that life was strange, which opened my eyes.
