A perfect life begins with changing the timeline.

"Li Mu, I'll treat you to lunch!"

This was an invitation extended by Sui Kuan.

One trending exclusive article is more than enough to get me a permanent position. I've only been working for two days, and I haven't even been assigned a mentor yet, but I already have that qualification.

This valuable opportunity was given to me by Li Mu, so I should repay him both morally and logically.

Li Mu readily agreed.

He mainly wanted to ask about depositing money in a bank.

So the two returned to their workstations and, as usual, began cleaning, starting their day of chores.

But the news from the newspaper spread very quickly.

Although it was unclear whether Fang Xiaofang had leaked the information, around 9:00 AM, while the two were at the warehouse to get their recording pens as instructed, they encountered several interns from other departments, including the very nice Li Wei.

Upon seeing the two, Li Wei first greeted them, then asked Sui Kuan with eyes full of curiosity:

"Fatty, did you and Li Mu get an exclusive scoop?"

She asked this question without anyone turning away, and the other interns were also staring intently at her.

One of them immediately asked:

"Did Li Mu get it after he sneaked in that day?"

"……Ha ha."

Sui Kuan laughed and said:

"Just lucky."

As he acknowledged it, the expressions on the faces of the group became complicated.

As one of the mouthpieces of the Southern Media Group and the newspaper with the largest circulation, getting an internship at *Southern Metropolis Daily* is an extremely valuable opportunity for many students. Not to mention the chance of being hired full-time…

But now, after hearing the exclusive news that the two people in the Arts and Sports Department had unearthed the 50 million lucky winner, all the interns were actually extremely envious.

Immediately afterwards, someone said:

"Did Li Mu get this news?"

Sui Kuan waved his hand, giving an irrelevant answer:

"We're leaving now."

He was a man of few words, and he left with Li Mu, carrying a box of ballpoint pens.

Once outside the warehouse, seeing that no one was around, he whispered to Li Mu:

"Believe it or not, they might be gossiping about you behind your back."

Li Mu smiled casually.

He gradually realized that Sui Kuan... was quite intelligent.

Furthermore, he didn't actually care about these things.

So he shook his head:

"It's nothing, let's go."

"Um."

Time flew by, and it was noon. The two went straight to a small restaurant near the newspaper office.

But Li Mu didn't get any further information from him.

Because that's all Sui Kuan knows.

I only know that if you have a lot of money, you can negotiate the interest rate with the bank. But I don't know the specifics of how to negotiate.

In order to avoid being exposed, Li Mu did not pester him relentlessly.

After having a meal, the two returned to their workplace. However, just as they reached the entrance, they saw several interns carrying bags and about to leave.

Going out in the middle of the day, clearly meant to dig for news.

This time, however, these people were more distant in the face of Sui Kuan's initiative to greet them.

Although it's not obvious, a rift has already formed.

See, sometimes the workplace is just that realistic. But like I said, Li Mu didn't care at all; he was only thinking about how to save money.

Just as the lunch break ended, around 3 or 4 pm, a colleague came over:

"Li Mu, Sui Kuan, the director wants to see you two. Come to his office."

Li Mu was taken aback, but immediately thanked him:

"Thank you, teacher."

Then he stood up with the fat man, who looked puzzled.

After leaving the main office, Sui Kuan asked in a low voice:

"The director wants to see us... Could there be some error in the news?"

Li Mu shook his head:

"I don't know, let's go check it out."

He really didn't know.

However, if it's news, then there's definitely no mistake.

After all, he himself was the winner of the lottery.

The two arrived at the office of the director of the Culture and Sports Department. After knocking on the door and hearing a "come in" from inside, Li Mu opened the door and saw his department head, Zhang Zhengwen, the director of the Culture and Sports News Department of the Southern Metropolis Daily.

A middle-aged man, around fifty years old, who is somewhat balding.

There was another person in the office, a middle-aged man with dark skin, thin build, and unremarkable appearance.

She is probably around forty years old.

"Director, you wanted to see both of us?"

"Okay, come in."

Zhang Zhengwen nodded, looked Li Mu and Sui Kuan up and down, and then smiled:

"Close the door."

Sui Kuan quickly closed the door.

The two newbies stood at the door, too afraid to move.

Until Zhang Zhengwen spoke again:

"Did you two dig up this report?"

As he spoke, two pages of manuscript paper appeared in his hand.

Despite Sui Kuan's usual quick wit, he hesitated to speak at this moment. Li Mu waited a second before nodding and saying:

"Yes, Director, we went to the lottery center early the next morning after the results were announced, sneaked in, and managed to find this interviewer and get a first-hand interview. He also said that he didn't plan to be interviewed by other reporters and didn't want to reveal his identity, so this is definitely an exclusive story."

Hearing Li Mu's words, Zhang Zhengwen nodded:

"Yes, I've read the manuscript too. The interview was good, and the handwriting is good too."

After offering a compliment, he pointed to the dark-skinned, thin middle-aged man beside him:

"This is Bie Yan, a senior reporter in our Culture and Sports Department. 'Bie' is the 'Bie' in 'others,' and 'Yan' is the 'Yan' in 'speech.' You two can just call him Brother Bie."

"Brother Bie."

"Hello, Brother Bie."

Li Mu seemed to realize something, and the middle-aged man named Bie Yan nodded with a smile after hearing this:

"Yes, hello. I've read the report; it's well done."

"From now on, you two will be working with him. You two are best reporters in our department, bar none..."

Following Zhang Zhengwen's words, Bie Yan quickly shook his head to express his modesty.

"Whether it's connections, experience, or anything else, he's second to none. You two need to learn a lot from him, understand? Study hard and strive to become the pillars of our Arts and Sports Department as soon as possible."

Li Muxin said, "As expected."

It seems the "master" has arrived.

……

"I thought they were going to talk about our promotions."

After leaving the director's office, Sui Kuan said with some regret.

Li Muxin said, "You've really gone crazy."

Even if I get a permanent position, I won't tell you now.

You'll have to wait at least three months before you're asked to write your application.

The newspaper doesn't lack reporters; it will run just as smoothly without the two of us. An exclusive article is enough to prove our ability and "luck," but getting the top leader to personally acknowledge our permanent positions is just a pipe dream.

Besides, didn't they also give a "guarantee"?

You just didn't hear it.

However, he didn't say this aloud; he simply patted Sui Kuan on the shoulder:

"What's the rush? It's bound to happen sooner or later. Just keep working hard."

"That's true."

The two chatted as they returned to their workstations.

Then, just as I was about to leave work, I heard Bieyan's voice:

"Xiao Li, Xiao Sui, come out here for a moment."

moment.

Bie Yan pointed to a Santana in the parking lot:

"Get in the car."

Sui Kuan was taken aback and subconsciously asked:

"Brother Bie, where are we going?"

Don't just smile slightly:

"Going out for interviews."
