Chapter 275 It really is the old system.
"I'm all packed and ready, just waiting for you, Brother Yu." Chen Yaoyao turned slightly to the side, pointing to her neatly arranged workstation.
Looking around, Yu Huan saw that all kinds of items on her desk were arranged in an orderly manner.
The computer tower and monitor were already unplugged and neatly placed to one side, clearly in preparation for the upcoming relocation.
He couldn't help but tease, "Are you so eager to sit in my seat?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yaoyao's round face immediately turned bright red, and she seemed somewhat at a loss for what to do.
She quickly shook her head and waved her hands, urgently explaining, "Brother Yu, you've misunderstood, nothing like that happened!"
Seeing this, Yu Huan thought to herself that this little potato was not as familiar with her as he was in her previous life, and it seemed that such a joke could not be taken.
Then he changed his tone to a relaxed laugh and said, "Just kidding, Chen Yaoyao, I should praise you! Preparing in advance for everything shows that you are efficient and have a strong sense of time."
“Xiao Yu is right,” Old Li interjected with a smile. After a pause, he turned to Chen Yaoyao and said approvingly, “That’s a good habit. You should keep it up.”
Old Li's interruption instantly made the atmosphere more harmonious.
After a moment's thought, Chen Yaoyao realized that Brother Yu wasn't subtly criticizing her, but simply joking. She then said earnestly, "Thank you for your encouragement, Director Li. You and Brother Yu are both role models for me. I will continue to work hard!"
Yu Huan walked around behind the desk, opened the drawer, and took out a stack of folders, placing them on the table.
Hearing Chen Yaoyao's words, he couldn't help but nod repeatedly.
Women are naturally better at language than men, and she certainly has a good grasp of how to speak.
As an academic, I imagine you've spent a lot of time reading relevant books and watching videos, and practicing repeatedly.
He opened the top folder, pulled out a five-page bound document, and handed it to Old Li, who was standing by the table: "Director Li, this is the roster of new employees. In addition to basic information, it also lists their skills and job positions in detail."
Old Li smiled and took the documents, replying, "Okay, I was just about to ask you for a list to see who the talented people are in our new media department!"
It has to be said that his position as director was really just a figurehead; even the personnel list was finalized by Yu Huan last Friday.
Yu Huan nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping around the workspace. Looking at the newcomers busily tidying up the office area, a sense of emotion welled up in her heart.
The other four old colleagues from my previous life have all gathered together now.
Yu Huan's gaze fell on a young man wearing glasses. He had a serious expression, his brows were furrowed, and his lips were tightly closed, as if he were very focused.
However, Yu Huan knew perfectly well that this young man named Chen Chen was the type who was diligent in public but lazy in private.
His greatest skill wasn't video editing, but rather, in the ability to hide the game screen of Fantasy Westward Journey in milliseconds using the "boss" key when the boss approached...
Then, he looked at a woman with thin cheeks and slightly protruding teeth.
Her name is Xiang Xinyi. She was in an air-conditioned room, wearing a fleece motorcycle jacket and a scarf around her neck.
With a relaxed and carefree expression, a faint smile playing on his lips, and leisurely, unhurried movements, he seemed in no hurry to tidy his workspace. Instead, he was warmly greeting his colleagues.
In her past life, Yu Huan strongly suspected that she had an affair with Zhao Yuan.
Ten years of working together, all the gossip in the office—for Yu Huan, it could easily fill a thick book.
Overall, the newlyweds had a hint of curiosity and excitement on their faces, their eyes looking around, eager to familiarize themselves with every corner of the place as quickly as possible.
At the same time, their eyes were also subtly observing the two leaders.
Yu Huan, in particular, became the focus of their attention.
Yu Huan felt many eyes glancing at him from time to time, especially from several new girls who were practically admiring him.
Having been a popular internet celebrity for so long, Yu Huan was already used to this scrutinizing gaze.
He remained calm and composed, his heart completely undisturbed.
However, it seems that the first generation of veterans in the new media department were all influenced by him, and they all arrived later than the last.
In fact, people often accompanied him to his workplace to scout out locations.
It was already 8:40, and apart from Chen Yaoyao who was coming to move her office desk, no one else had shown up yet.
Yu Huan tidied up the computer cables and noticed that Lao Li was standing and looking through documents.
He quickly pushed the chair behind Old Li, and when no one was around, he said softly, "Uncle Li, please sit down."
"Okay, sure." Director Li glanced back at his office chair, then sat down with a smile.
Although the new media department on the twelfth floor and the editorial department on the third floor are similar in size, their layouts are somewhat different.
At least, there aren't that many cubicles here, and it's not that crowded.
When Yu Huan moved up from the third floor before, it was just a simple trip, but this time, moving to a private office required several trips.
The reason is simple: there's just too much messy and disorganized data and text.
Fortunately, Chen Xi was perceptive enough to come and help move the computers, and Chen Yaoyao also lent a helping hand from time to time. As a result, the move was completed in less than 15 minutes.
The new office is bright and clean, with sunlight flooding the entire room.
Compared to the somewhat noisy workspace, this place is exceptionally quiet.
"Brother Yu, everything's done." Chen Xi's voice broke the silence.
Yu Huan was squatting on the floor, filing some old documents and storing them in the bottom drawer. Hearing Chen Xi's words, he looked up.
Chen Xi stood in front of the computer, gently moving the mouse. The screen displayed a password input interface.
The computer had obviously already assembled it for him.
He nodded slightly, closed the drawer, stood up, and said, "Chen Xi, you've worked hard."
"Brother Yu, it's nothing, just a small favor, nothing to mention," Chen Xi quickly waved his hand.
Just then, a dashing figure suddenly appeared in the wide-open doorway.
Zheng Yu was wearing a suit jacket, her hard-soled shoes making a clicking sound, and she was holding a pot of lush green plants in her hands.
She smiled and met Yu Huan's gaze, saying, "Brother Yu, this is a silver heart spider plant I bought on the way here. Congratulations on your housewarming!" She then added, "I also bought a small cactus for Yao Yao."
It's just a small, inexpensive gift; such social exchanges don't really constitute a violation of discipline.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xi slapped his forehead.
Can you do this?
I was annoyed that I hadn't thought of this move and had missed such an opportunity to shine!
"Zheng Yu, thank you so much!" Yu Huan smiled and accepted the spider plant with both hands.
Zheng Yu smiled and said, "Brother Yu, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Spider plants can purify the air, so they're a good choice for the office."
Yu Huan nodded slightly, carried the potted spider plant to the windowsill, and carefully placed it down.
The layers of dark green leaves looked especially vibrant in the sunlight.
He was just glancing at it when Chen Yaoyao's voice came from the doorway: "Brother Yu, it's time for a meeting!"
"Okay." Yu Huan turned around and looked at Chen Yaoyao standing at the door.
My gaze swept over the pile of documents on one side of the desk, and I realized I could only tidy up after the meeting...
The atmosphere in the workspace was somewhat solemn and serious.
At this moment, the new media department, including Director Li, has a total of twenty-three people gathered together.
Apart from the three leaders in management positions, everyone else stood in two orderly rows.
Everyone's posture was quite standard. Even Wang Zhi, that beast, stood straight and had a proper demeanor because he was sandwiched between two newcomers on his left and right, especially influenced by a new girl.
Yu Huan and Chen Yaoyao, one tall and one short, stood on one side of the crowd, watching Old Li speak in a loud and powerful voice:
"Today, our new media department has reached a significant turning point. We have grown from a lean team of eleven to twenty-three. First of all, I would like to extend our sincerest and warmest welcome to our twelve new colleagues!"
Hearing Lao Li describe the elite eleven-person team, which didn't even include Zhao Yuan, who had 'voluntarily resigned,' it was incredibly meticulous.
This attention to detail made Yu Huan sigh, "Indeed, it's the old system."
He reacted quickly and led the applause.
A burst of enthusiastic and sustained applause immediately erupted in the audience.
As the applause subsided, Director Li paused in his clapping, raised his hand, and pressed it down slightly to signal everyone to be quiet.
The originally enthusiastic applause gradually subsided, slowly fading into the air.
At this moment, the arena became unusually quiet, with only the occasional faint sound remaining.
He cleared his throat and said in a serious tone, "Next, I will say a few words."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan couldn't help but facepalm.
I had a feeling this would be a long speech.
Old Li paused for a moment, then continued, "This expansion is not only a significant milestone in our department's development, but also a crucial step for the newspaper to deepen its presence and enhance its influence in the new media field. The new media era is constantly changing; a larger team means we will have more resources and wisdom to meet challenges and create more possibilities..."
"To every new colleague, I want to say that each of you is an indispensable part of the department. I look forward to your quick integration, working side by side, and jointly promoting the development of the new media department..."
"At the same time, I would also like to express my heartfelt gratitude to our long-time colleagues. In this era of change, it is your hard work and unremitting efforts that have laid a solid foundation for the department..."
"In the days to come, we will face more opportunities and challenges. But I believe that with everyone's joint efforts and teamwork, our new media department will definitely be able to seize opportunities, meet challenges, and create even more brilliant achievements..."
"We will join hands to explore the infinite possibilities of new media. We must embrace every change with an open mind and lead every breakthrough with innovative thinking..."
Yu Huan felt the gaze directed at him from below, forcibly suppressing the urge to yawn, his eyes revealing a deep focus.
He nodded occasionally to show his agreement with Lao Li's point of view.
Standing next to him, Chen Yaoyao seemed unable to find a suitable place for her hands, sometimes gently folding them in front of her, and sometimes putting them behind her back.
Her eyes kept darting between Lao Li and the group, trying to listen attentively to every word Lao Li said while also paying attention to everyone's subtle reactions.
But whenever their eyes meet, they immediately pretend nothing is wrong and look away.
She never expected that Brother Yu would make her stand here.
Caught off guard, he appeared quite flustered.
Yu Huan glanced at Chen Yaoyao, who was new to her job, and keenly noticed her unusual reaction, which she found amusing.
Old Li's voice still flowed like a never-ending river:
"The wave of new media is unstoppable, and we must rise to the challenge and keep pace with the times. I believe that with the addition of such young talent, our new media department will surely be revitalized and create greater social value..."
"We are not just a department or a team, but a big family with a shared mission and vision..."
"Finally, let us join hands and, with even greater enthusiasm and unwavering faith, meet every challenge of the future..."
"I believe that our new media department will shine even brighter..."
"I've finished speaking!" Old Li bowed slightly in greeting.
Amidst thunderous applause, he raised his hand and pointed at Yu Huan.
He pursed his dry lips, raised his voice, and said in a half-joking tone:
"I think everyone knows our leader at Jiangnan Morning Post, so I don't need to introduce him. As the key figure in the new media department, let him say a few words to everyone."
The applause was thunderous and lasting.
When Yu Huan saw that Lao Li had turned the conversation to him and called his name, he stepped forward and smiled at everyone.
Old Li is a good person in every way, except that he talks a lot of nonsense like a leader.
It wasn't exactly incomprehensible, but he was afraid young people wouldn't understand, so he had to break it down and explain it clearly. After humbly saying he would just give a brief introduction, he launched into a long and rambling explanation.
Gradually, the applause subsided.
With a humble smile, Yu Huan joked, "Director Li called me the 'soul of the new media department,' which really made my heart tremble. I can only say I don't deserve it—"
The words have not yet fallen.
As laughter rang out in twos and threes, the crowd seemed to be infected, and a knowing laugh immediately followed.
Even Old Li couldn't help but chuckle.
After a few breaths, Yu Huan's laughter subsided considerably before she continued, "I'm at most a mediocre artist, adding a few strokes to the blueprint for our new media department."
He then changed the subject, emphasizing:
"What Director Li said is also what I wanted to say, but I must mention that in our growing department, there is an indispensable force: the guidance and support of our veteran colleagues for our new colleagues. I would like to emphasize to our veteran colleagues that you have rich experience and profound professional knowledge. In the foreseeable future, you should not only focus on completing your own work tasks, but also generously share your knowledge and experience to help new colleagues better adapt to the new environment and grow faster."
He had seen plenty of conflict between the old and the new in his previous life.
Yu Huan looked around, gathered her thoughts, and continued:
"As new colleagues, you are the fresh blood of the department. You should humbly learn from your veteran colleagues, actively seek their advice, and take the initiative to integrate. In the process of learning, you should continuously explore your potential, give full play to your strengths, and contribute your strength to the team."
"This spirit of passing on knowledge and mentoring is an important part of our department's culture. In the process of passing on their experience, senior colleagues can also draw new ideas and creativity from their junior colleagues, achieving mutual learning and growth."
After rambling on like this
Yu Huan got down to business and briefly announced the work schedule for this week:
"Our department is currently organized into teams, with each team member having specific responsibilities. The affiliation and position of each new colleague are clearly stated in the proposal, which I'm sure you've all read carefully over the weekend, so I won't elaborate further..."
"In addition to reposting news, we produce no fewer than 50 original articles and videos daily, achieving 24-hour news coverage on existing social media platforms..."
"Chen Yaoyao, I'll be relying on you to coordinate things for the next while. Remember to add all the new colleagues to the work group at noon."
Chen Yaoyao looked at Yu Huan's composed profile as he spoke, when she suddenly heard him call out her name.
After a slight pause, he hurriedly nodded: "Okay, Yu—"
He swallowed the word "brother" that was on the tip of his tongue and continued, "Deputy Director."
Yu Huan nodded and looked at the silent crowd, saying:
"I've finished speaking. Now let's join hands and meet the challenges of this week. I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, our new media department will definitely achieve even greater success—"
"The meeting is dismissed!"
