The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth

The doorman is an old man. It seems that most doormen are not young?

"Who are you looking for?" The doorman glanced at Zhao Dongchuan alertly and looked him up and down.

"Yes, I'm invited to our magazine. I'm looking for the editor Zhang Jian!" Zhao Dongchuan smiled and took out the invitation letter and handed it to the doorman.

The doorman took the invitation letter and without even reading the words, he went straight to the bottom, found the red seal of Yanhe magazine, and read it again and again.

"Yes, it's true!" The doorman nodded.

"Please register!" The old man at the door took out a booklet and asked Zhao Dongchuan to fill it out.

After Zhao Dongchuan completed the registration, he was let in.

The biggest function of this invitation letter was actually to provide Zhao Dongchuan with a letter of introduction. However, he later used his connections to get a job at the cultural center, changed his household registration back to an urban one, and was issued a work permit, so the invitation letter was not used.

Zhao Dongchuan walked all the way to the front of the small building and was about to go in when a woman's voice was heard.

"Hey, where are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"

He turned around and saw a little girl, dressed fashionably, looking at him warily.

Zhao Dongchuan has a question mark on his face?

"I'm here to see someone and discuss something!" Zhao Dongchuan said helplessly (What kind of trouble has happened again?).

"Did it be the doorman who let you in?" the girl asked again without any context.

"Yeah, what else?" Zhao Dongchuan was also a little confused. What was this for? To prevent thieves.

Hearing this, the girl was also skeptical. She looked Zhao Dongchuan up and down and muttered, "Well, it doesn't look like it!"

Then he said to Zhao Dongchuan: "Don't blame me for asking too many questions. We are really overwhelmed by this. There is nothing we can do!"

As he spoke, he began to explain to Zhao Dongchuan that ever since their magazine resumed publication, it had become very well-known in the province due to its great influence, while other national publications were being closely watched by their superiors and had not been able to resume publication, so they had become a popular magazine.

There are always some people who are nervous because their submissions have not been accepted and they use various methods to come in and "talk" with the editor.

The methods include but are not limited to bribing the doorman, climbing over the wall, digging through dog holes, etc.!

The magazine has already fired several doormen for this reason. The latest doorman has only been here a few months. He seems to be quite alert and hasn't caused any trouble.

The girl thought that Zhao Dongchuan also came to have a "heart-to-heart talk" with the editor, so she stopped him.

"Then how do you know that I'm not those people?" Zhao Dongchuan had another doubt at this time.

Could it be that I was being discovered for showing off my arrogance? Zhao Dongchuan was secretly pleased with himself.

"I see that you are very young and your mental quality shouldn't be that bad. Besides, I have seen your invitation letter!" The girl said, pointing to the invitation letter in Zhao Dongchuan's hand that he had not had time to put away.

"..."

Why did you spend so much time asking so many questions? Zhao Dongchuan complained silently!

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't notice it at first, and you don't look like a local!" the girl explained.

“Damn, I’m being discriminated against based on my region!” Zhao Dongchuan thought to himself! !

Is there regional discrimination at this time?

Zhao Dongchuan glanced at the little girl, feeling offended and speechless, and said, "Thank you!"

Then he turned and went into the building!

"Hey, hey, hey, wait for me~ Don't run!" The little girl saw Zhao Dongchuan turn around and leave, and hurriedly followed him and said.

Zhao Dongchuan didn't even turn his head, pretending not to hear, and went straight in.

Based on his experience at the cultural center, each department has a sign posted, and he can find the person by just asking.

"Hey, wait for me, who are you looking for? I'll lead the way for you!" The girl chased after him relentlessly.

Zhao Dongchuan pretended not to hear it. When he saw a department in front of him that seemed to be written as the Editorial Office, he walked towards that direction.

Before he took a few steps, he heard a sound of breaking wind coming from behind, and Zhao Dongchuan quickly turned sideways to avoid it.

"Bang!" A pen fell in front.

He stopped and looked back, and found a man wearing glasses staring at him viciously, and the little girl next to him was running towards him, panting.

"Xiao Fei, are you okay? This man dared to bully you, I must teach him a lesson!" As he said this, he was about to step forward and take action.

The girl called Xiao Fei quickly grabbed him and said, "Gu Fengling, what are you doing?"

"He didn't bully me, I just want him to stop!" Xiao Fei said quickly after taking a breath.

"Hmm? Don't be afraid. No one here can bully you." Gu Fengling thought Xiao Fei said this because she was afraid of trouble, so she acted as if she was willing to go through fire and water for the help.

"Come on, this guy came to our magazine to discuss a commission for an article!" Xiao Fei said with a roll of her eyes.

"Huh? He's here to discuss a commission?" Gu Fengling finally reacted.

Zhao Dongchuan was watching from the side, it was really horrible!!!

He has become a tool for others to show their kindness.

"Luckily you threw a pen, if you had thrown a knife~~ hehe!!!" Zhao Dongchuan smiled with inexplicable meaning.

When the ancient wind chime saw that smile, it was startled for a moment, but soon turned into anger and embarrassment.

"You didn't do anything bad, why are you running?"

"..."

Zhao Dongchuan looked at him speechlessly. This man didn't apologize but instead blamed others. It was really a bad behavior.

Just as he was about to turn around and head toward the editorial office, Xiao Fei hurried over and said, "I'm sorry, he misunderstood you. Come on, I'll take you to the editorial office. Which editor do you want to see?"

"No, I saw the sign, thank you!"

"It's okay. It's really not my fault. I..."

Looking at the backs of Zhao Dongchuan and Xiao Fei as they left, leaving him aside, Gu Fengling's face turned pale and blue.

"I want to see what this guy does!" Gu Fengling thought secretly.

Then he followed.

Zhao Dongchuan ignored Xiao Fei who was chattering beside him and went straight to the editorial office. The door was open at this time. There were several staff members inside. Some were reviewing manuscripts, some were scribbling and rewriting something, and some were reading documents.

Zhao Dongchuan looked inside the door and knocked on it with his hand.

At this time, a short-haired lady sitting by the door looked up, noticed Zhao Dongchuan, looked him up, and asked, "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Hello, I'm looking for editor Zhang Jian!" Zhao Dongchuan replied with a smile.

"Um, you're looking for Zhang Jian!" The short-haired lady nodded, turned around and shouted to the middle-aged man with thick black-framed glasses sitting by the window in the last row, "Zhang Jian, someone's looking for you!"

Zhang Jian was frowning and looking at a piece of manuscript paper at this time, feeling a little annoyed. Suddenly he heard someone calling him, so he looked up.

"Sister Wang, what's wrong?" Zhang Jian asked.

Sister Wang glanced sideways and gestured, "Xiao Zhang, someone's looking for you!"

Zhao Dongchuan looked at Zhang Jian and smiled, "Editor Zhang, hello, I'm Zhao Dongchuan!"

"Are you Zhao Dongchuan?" Before Zhang Jian could react, a female voice suddenly came from beside Zhao Dongchuan and asked in surprise.
