  ———————————————————————————————

  Sun Ping's voice was very loud and soon attracted the people from the neighboring research room and the propaganda department, many people gathered at the door to watch the excitement, some even cheered.

  Peng Yuanzheng originally wanted to retort, a few words would have shut up these mad old women, but seeing people from the surgical department gathering around, he changed his mind.

  He smiled faintly and sat down silently to continue reading the materials.

  Sun Ping continued to scold, Gong Hanlin frowned and dispersed the people from other departments, then closed the office door and said in a low voice, "Alright, let's just keep quiet for now. Our news department has almost become a vegetable market!"

  Sun Ping hummed, sat down with a huff, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Old Gong, I don't care about that much. If he can't get the materials by Thursday, I'll go report to Director Zhu and ask for leadership to arrange someone else. The news department is a business department, not a trash can where anyone can be stuffed in!"

  "Please rest assured, Mr. Sun, I will definitely submit the manuscript on Thursday." Peng Yuanzheng said coldly with his head down on the table, "It's really inexplicable!"

  Sun Ping was about to have another outburst, and Gong Hanlin could no longer bear it. He suddenly slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and stormed off.

  ……

  ……

  The first day of work, he had a conflict with the deputy director of the department, which many people thought was not a good omen. Ma Zi also told Peng Yuanzheng in the afternoon before getting off work that Sun Ping was particularly vengeful and narrow-minded, and since they had offended her, they must be careful in the future and never give her any handle to use against them, otherwise she would definitely go to the department leader to stir up trouble.

  It's essential to know that in an organization, the first impression of a leader is crucial for a newcomer. If Sun Ping were to say everything in front of the leader, Peng Yuanzheng would have difficulty showing his face afterwards.

  But Peng Yuanzheng didn't take it to heart. He had no room for retreat, and since Sun Ping rushed up to become the first stumbling block in his path, his attitude was only one: resolutely kick her away.

  When the flood comes, the earth will cover it; when the soldiers come, the general will resist. What's there to be afraid of?

  Don't say he's not a scoundrel, even if he is, with his rich experience and skills in this life and the next, he can't even handle a shrewish woman, it's better to just find a block of tofu and knock himself out.

  The news spread, but it had no negative impact on Peng Yuanzhen.

  There are two reasons: First, Sun Ping has a bad reputation and poor relationships; Second, Peng Yuanzheng is polite and courteous, proactively greeting everyone he meets with humility and friendliness. Within just two days, the entire propaganda department knew that the news section had welcomed an extremely capable and well-mannered young man, a top student from Jinghua University.

  Such a well-mannered and polite young person, humble and kind-hearted, how could he possibly not respect his superiors? It's clear that Sun Ping is bullying the newcomer, everyone thinks so.

  On Thursday morning, Peng Yuanzheng put the draft on Gong Hanlin's desk, but Gong didn't come to work in the morning, seemingly due to some family matter.

  The draft was actually completed on Wednesday afternoon. A 2,000-word press release, based on a thorough possession of the original materials, Peng Yuanzheng really started writing, which took more than two hours. Writing this kind of praise and reflecting the municipal party committee's decision-making intention is not difficult for him at all.

  He dare not boast about his other work abilities, but as a good blower and drummer, he still feels quite competent.

  Words are just one aspect, more importantly, it's about elevating ordinary events to a certain height, extracting distinctive things that can make people's eyes light up.

  Before lunch break, Gong Hanlin came to the office and asked Peng Yuanzheng for his manuscript.

  Peng Yuanzheng smiled and said, "Director Gong, I've put the draft on your desk for review. As a newcomer, I'm not familiar with the situation, so please point out any areas that are not well written."

  Gong Hanlin let out a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "Good, Comrade Xiao Peng's attitude is very good and he works hard. Little Ma, you should learn from him!"

  "I'm saying, Director Ke, can't you just not bring this up? You're praising the new comrade, no need to belittle me, an old comrade, right?" Ma Ziguang shouted.

  Gong Hanlin burst out laughing, "You little stinker, what kind of old comrade are you!"

  As he spoke, Gong Hanlin lowered his head and began to look for Peng Yuanzheng's draft. He actually didn't have much hope for Peng Yuanzheng's draft, and had mentally prepared himself to rewrite it personally. After all, this was a major task in the department, and the quality of the draft represented the business level of the news department.

  Gong Hanlin wasn't found, just about to ask Peng Yuanzheng again, but heard Sun Ping say lightly, "Old Gong, you don't have to look for him anymore. This morning when you didn't come, Director Zhu called to rush the manuscript. I thought Little Peng's writing was good, so I directly sent it to Director Zhu."

  As soon as Sun Ping said this, Gong Hanlin's face suddenly changed.

  Even Ma Zi and Wang Na couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths, looking at Peng Yuanzheng with some sympathy - thinking: These old women are really ruthless, they want to directly ruin Peng Yuanzheng's reputation, making him infamous in front of his superiors, never able to turn things around for the rest of his life!

  It's simple. The draft written by a newcomer is a kind of exercise, and 90% of the time it can't be used directly or submitted to the leader. At least it needs to be modified and reviewed by the department head. Sun Ping directly submitting the draft to Director Zhu not only harmed Peng Yuanzheng but also set up Gong Hanlin once.

  Gong Hanlin is the head of the department, and the manuscripts submitted are very poor. When the leader gets angry, the consequences are severe. How can Gong Hanlin have good fruit to eat?

  Gong Hanlin thought of this, and his head swelled. He could imagine what kind of draft Peng Yuanzheng had written, and he could also imagine the brilliant expression on Zhu's face when reviewing Peng Yuanzheng's writing.

  Gong Hanlin glared at Sun Ping with anger, almost bursting out. But he knew that Sun Ping not only had a close relationship with Director Zhu but was also the cousin-in-law of Vice Mayor Meng's wife from the municipal government side. It wouldn't do him any good to get into a conflict with this kind of woman.

  He took a deep breath, calming his intense discontent, slowly sat down in the chair and closed his eyes.

  Sun Ping's face didn't change color, but in her heart she was gloating with a cold smile. As for Peng Yuan's draft, it was so poorly written that she couldn't even be bothered to take a look at it. When Director Zhu called to urge her, she directly sent it to his desk and casually complained a few sentences, implying that the leader should see what kind of rubbish this material is.

  This matter can be big or small. Of course, the department leader won't treat Peng Yuanzheng differently just because of a poorly written document, after all, he's a newcomer who has just started working. However, this will still plant a bad impression in the leader's heart. It must be said that Sun Ping, this woman, is so vicious!

  Peng Yuanzheng slightly raised an eyebrow and got up to go to the bathroom. Although he was confident that his draft was absolutely fine, Sun Ping's despicable and low-level tactics still directly enraged him.

  Ma followed him out and met Peng Yuanzheng at the bathroom door. They lit a cigarette together, sighed and said, "Brother, it's already like this, don't take it too much to heart. You've only been here for two days, the leaders in the department must have their own plans."

  Peng Yuanzheng smiled faintly and shook his head, "The draft is nothing much, anyway I'm a newcomer, there's nothing to worry about. It's just that our department leader doesn't seem like a leader, it makes people feel so unenthusiastic!"

  Ma Zi also sighed, but didn't say anything else.

  When he first came, Sun Ping also suppressed him a lot, but he had thick skin and patience, putting on an air of "a dead pig not afraid of boiling water", and Sun Ping couldn't do anything about it.
