Chapter 98 illusory friendship

A friend who once worked as a book and newspaper editor said that he used to receive calls from authors almost every day asking for their care.Small gifts, records, travel souvenirs, etc., are countless.When he stopped working as an editor, the cold calls and gifts disappeared. He laughed and scolded me: "You are the worst person! I have never accepted any gift from you!" Why do I have to give gifts to the editor when I write so hard and earnestly?Of course not! Some jobs are easy to receive gifts.I used to work in a TV station, and I was in the creative department.Although we decide which main actors to use for each episode, the production department has more contact with the actors, and they have more opportunities to receive gifts.

I also once received a gift, which was a moon cake, which was given by an old female special actor.She sent a box of lotus paste mooncakes to the producer, thanking him for giving her a role.The producer gave me one of the mooncakes, because I was in charge of that episode.I didn't want it at first, but seeing the old special agent standing tremblingly in the distance, looking like he really wanted me to accept one of the mooncakes, I couldn't bear to let her down, so I had to accept it. The friendship and care that a person gets at work are all illusory.When he leaves that post, he will know how many friends he has.
