Xiao Yang completed the employment procedures and was unsurprisingly assigned to Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin was the new director, sharing his office space with the other staff members. Therefore, it was easy for Xiao Yang to find him. "Director Zhou, may I ask what my job description is?"

Zhou Lin raised his head, glanced around slowly, and said in a bureaucratic tone, "Young people in a new unit should be proactive. Don't always ask others what you want to do. Instead, take the initiative to think about what you can do. If everything needs to be arranged by others, how can you grow in the unit?"

Xiao Yang couldn't help but sneer in his heart. What can I do? I can do the job of a pot of tea, a pack of cigarettes, and a newspaper for a whole day. I can't let you give up your job to me.

However, having said that, Xiao Yang couldn't ask any more questions and could only help other colleagues first. He also tried to test their attitudes.

He was the first to approach Zhang Liang, who had worked in the Propaganda Department for many years and was even more experienced than Zhou Lin.

Therefore, Xiao Yang's attitude towards him was very polite: "Brother Zhang, is there anything you need my help with?"

Zhang Liang is a seasoned man, especially after hearing Zhou Lin's words clearly, he knew what to do.

Smiling, he said calmly: "Xiao Xiao, I won't bother you with my work. Don't get me wrong, this job requires a certain amount of experience to handle. It's still too difficult for you right now."

Seeing this, another colleague, Zhang Wen, opened a drawer, pulled out a notebook, and handed it to Xiao Yang with a smile: "Comrade Xiao, these are my work notes from the past few years. I'm leaving my job in two weeks, and you'll probably be taking over my shift, so take a look at my work notes when you have time. You'll probably be doing just that in your future work."

Even a fool could tell that Zhou Lin disliked Xiao Yang and was trying to intimidate him. But Zhang Wen had already submitted his resignation, preparing to leave the industry, so he wasn't afraid of offending Zhou Lin. However, with only two weeks left in the month, he had to stay at his post and complete his final shift.

Xiao Yang quickly took the notebook with both hands and bowed solemnly to Zhang Wen: "Thank you, Brother Zhang."

Zhang Wen wasn't afraid of offending Zhou Lin, but the others weren't as bold. Xiao Yang asked around respectfully, but no one was willing to teach him anything.

Seeing his dazed look, Zhou Lin curled his lips in disdain. His expression seemed to say, "Humph, can't I deal with you? Even if you're a dragon, you'll have to be coiled around me once you enter the Propaganda Department."

Zhou Lin lowered his head to look at the materials in his hand, clearly ignoring Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang knew this, so he didn't look for him again. He sat at his desk and carefully read the notes Zhang Wen gave him.

He had thought that today would be a boring day when he suddenly heard a sarcastic voice: "Young people nowadays really don't care about life. The thermos in the office is empty. Do you really want me, the director, to get you some water?"

Xiao Yang suddenly realized what was going on and immediately closed the notebook on his desk. He quickly took the thermos from Zhou Lin's hand and said, "Sorry, Director Zhou, I'll go get some water now."

There are three kettles in the office. If he takes two at a time, he can save a trip.

However, before Xiao Yang could get the second thermos, Zhou Lin said calmly, "You should take one first. It's your first day at work, and you're still a little unfamiliar with the route. Don't drop the thermos again."

Although he had already begun to greet Zhou Lin's 18 ancestors in his heart, Xiao Yang quickly forced out a bright smile and said politely: "Director Zhou, you are quite a nice person——"

Zhou Lin couldn't help but feel bewildered. Although he felt that Xiao Yang's words were somewhat sarcastic, he couldn't react. He could only chuckle and say, "Of course. If I don't do this for your own good, who else can I ask for your help?"

However, before he could finish his words, Xiao Yang rushed out of the office.

Zhou Lin's voice suddenly stopped, and there was a look of resentment on his face.

Although the other staff members in the office did not speak, it was not difficult to see their true feelings at the moment from their slightly shaking shoulders.

It was Xiao Yang's first day at work, and he had no idea where the water was, so he was just running around like a headless fly. Fortunately, he didn't walk far before he ran into Zhao An.

Zhao An held up a form and said excitedly, "Comrade Xiao, I came here to submit a form. I was just thinking of checking out yours. How do you feel about your first day on the job?"

"Not bad. By the way, where is the bathroom in our unit?"

Zhao An couldn't help but be stunned, and pointed to the other end of the corridor: "That's the bathroom."

As he spoke, Zhao An also saw the thermos in Xiao Yang's hand and frowned immediately: "No way, Zhou Lin actually targeted you so blatantly, doing such trivial things, isn't this deliberately making things difficult for me?"

Then, he said indignantly, "Come on, go to your office, I'll help you get some water."

"No need to go to such trouble." Xiao Yang smiled. "By the way, is this the only bathroom in our unit?"

How clever is Zhao An? His eyes rolled and he immediately laughed: "What new idea have you come up with?"

Xiao Yang leaned close to Zhao An's ear and whispered a few words.

Zhao An immediately smiled. "Don't worry, I'll take care of it. And if you want to succeed, it's best to go to the performance team's training room. Gossip spreads the fastest there. It's just that it's a little far away."

"That's right, he's far away. I was afraid he wasn't far away!"

As he spoke, Xiao Yang made a gesture to Zhao An, then ran quickly towards the training room of the performance team.

Beijing TV Station is a large compound. Unlike the Propaganda Department and other administrative offices, the dormitories and training rooms for the women's performance team are located in another small building within the compound.

At the same time, this is also a restricted area for male employees of Beijing TV Station.

Two senior staff members are on duty every day to prevent male staff from peeking. Even if a male staff member wants to come here to do something, he must get the consent of the two senior staff members and be accompanied by them to complete the task.

Over time, this place really became a restricted area - older male leaders would never set foot here to avoid suspicion; younger newcomers had long heard from old employees about the horrors of this place, so naturally they didn't dare to set foot here easily.

Because of this, the old staff on duty gradually became lazy. After all, no one dared to come all day long, so what was the point of their hard work?
