Signing the contract, ordering the book number, finalizing the edition, proofreading, sending brushes, signing...

Lin Xia silently read the publication process of "That Midsummer" and couldn't help but look out the window.

There was a light rain outside the window, and the banana leaves were swaying in the breeze.

Across the table, the editor-in-chief Yang, who was wearing thick glasses, looked at her expectantly. The more she looked at her, the more satisfied she became. She nodded from time to time, as if she had acquired some rare treasure.

"We will arrange for you to sign books with Teacher Qiao Hongying, and make your debut together as a young and beautiful girl writer..."

"Teacher Qiao Hongying focuses on children, and you focus on youth literature, which is just enough to focus the attention of young readers..."

"On the field, we will arrange some famous teachers to help out, and they will participate in the signing event of "That Summer"..."

"When necessary, we will also contact the leaders of the Copyright Department. There are film and television practitioners in Taiwan who are extremely interested in this movie..."

"..."

Sister Yang talked about the arrangements for the signing of "That Midsummer", and every word revealed expectations and hopes, as if a rising star was piercing the darkness.

Lin Xia, however, was still staring at Xiao Yu outside the office, as if she had not heard Sister Yang's arrangements at all.

"Teacher Lin Xia, do you have any suggestions for our arrangements?"

After Sister Yang finished speaking for a long time, she realized that she had been performing a one-man show, so she put away her smile and asked patiently.

Lin Xia did not respond.

Sister Yang moved her lips, but looking at Lin Xia's lost expression, she didn't say anything to disturb her.

The clock on the wall rang every second.

The tea on the table gradually became cold.

The light rain outside the window finally stopped.

When the silence in the office reached its peak, Lin Xia finally turned her head and looked at Sister Yang complicatedly.

"Teacher Yang……"

"Um?"

""That Summer" still needs to be revised!"

"Change what?" Sister Yang was stunned.

"There seems to be everyone in the book, but there is only one missing classmate who did not take graduation photos..."

"ah?"

In the office.

Sister Yang was stunned for a while.

Lin Xia looked up at the ceiling.

"Some people are so ordinary, as ordinary as dust. During the three years of high school, they were very close to each other, but they had no sense of existence, no characteristics, and no specialties. But maybe..." Lin Xia paused:

"He is the person with the most stories..."

The office fell into a water-like silence again.

……………………

[Senran Integrated Stove] The store is located at a crossroads slightly away from Yanjing Fujing.

Although it's a little out of the way, in a place like Yanjing where land is at a premium, the rent for a 100-square-meter house costs 130,000 yuan a year.

130,000 in 2009 was an incredible amount. It could probably buy a small balcony of ten square meters in the suburbs of Yanjing.

But obviously, high investment and income are not directly proportional. [Senran Integrated Stove] has only opened two orders so far, making a total of tens of thousands of yuan. The big one is Zhang Sheng Haishu's order. In addition, the rent,

After excluding the fuel expenses for advertising vehicles and store decoration expenses, the remaining money can be regarded as charity for Yanjing GDP. Damn it, I am losing 20,000 yuan a month...

Fortunately, the labor cost is not high. The boss is also the driver and does the delivery and installation. The boss’s daughter Liu Yingying, who has just graduated from college, was pulled into the store to work as the front desk. The boss’s wife Chen Aiju does the logistics directly...

A pure family-run business.

"Family workshops can only be regarded as a helpless move in the early stages of entrepreneurship..."

"The management system must be developed, and corporate culture..."

"Mr. Liu, you can't ignore the corporate culture. Even if there are only three employees, you must wear neat work clothes. By the way, Mr. Li, when you go out to install, you must wear good clothes..."

"Also, regarding the punch-in system, I briefly learned about your company. Now there is no need to punch-in at all. You can work at any time, and even occasionally the store is closed. This is completely unacceptable..."

"..."

When the car drove to the entrance of the [Senran Integrated Stove] store, the owner Liu Kaili felt that his brain was in a state of turmoil, as if it was about to burst at any moment.

Zhang Sheng, as soon as he got on the bus, started to popularize various corporate plans, corporate management systems, corporate culture and finance...

When he was studying at the technical school, he had never experienced such pain. After getting off the car, he ignored Zhang Sheng and ran directly to the store as soon as possible.

Zhang Sheng carried his luggage, then looked at the crowd environment, then at the store, then pushed up his glasses, shook his head slightly, feeling a little pity.

“Isn’t it a waste of time to open the store here?”

"A store like ours needs a storefront, but it doesn't need a storefront that's neither high nor low..."

"Mr. Liu, don't leave, I haven't finished speaking yet..."

After watching Liu Kaili run into the store, Zhang Sheng immediately followed him.

Liu Kaili in front was inexplicably afraid of Zhang Sheng. Seeing Zhang Sheng coming, he asked his wife and daughter to wait for him first. He quickly went to the toilet to smoke and calm down.

This thing...

Nima is born to be a brainwasher!

Being indoctrinated by Zhang Sheng from all the companies along the way, he found that he was not qualified to open a store at all. Even when he walked into the store and saw everything in the store, he felt that it was an eyesore and he felt uncomfortable everywhere.

Squatting in the toilet, his mind was still full of mush!

I feel like I have no confidence at all!

wrong!

Damn, he is a middle-aged man in his forties who has been smearing in society for many years and has great experience. How could he be brainwashed by a young man who has not even gone to college?

After smoking one cigarette after another, the more he thought about it, the more wrong he felt, and he felt like his head was being deceived.

I’m the fucking owner of this store, okay?

Why is it now that I am an employee of this store, he is the boss, and I have to work for him?

Even if you sign a deal out of nowhere and the profit is pretty good, you’re just working for me, right?

Liu Kaili was deeply aware that he had been overtaken by the unfaithful guest. He immediately put out the cigarette butt and ran out of the bathroom. He planned to educate this young man well and let him know how to look at him. At least he should give himself the opportunity.

A little respect from the boss, right?

Just when Liu Kaili's mind was full of various words, and he resolutely opened the door to teach this young man a lesson, he suddenly heard bursts of cheerful laughter coming from outside the store.

That is the laughter of my daughter and my wife...

Since the store opened, it’s rare to hear them laughing like this!

When he approached in confusion, he found that his daughter and wife immediately became serious after seeing him.

It was so serious that he was a little scared!

"Old Liu..."

"Um?"

"I'll tell the landlord later that we won't rent this store anymore!"

"If we continue to rent like this, we will suffer losses!"

"Xiao Zhang's advice is quite pertinent. We actually don't need to spend all this money..."

“Stores are important when doing business, but like ours, a store with no decoration atmosphere, no advertising effect, a new brand, surrounded by snacks, and a place like ours that can’t form a customer group or stereotype, can’t sell at all.

this……"

"..."

Liu Kaili's eyes widened and he stared blankly at his mother-in-law, and then at Zhang Sheng who was standing next to him with a smile on his face.

What on earth did this guy say to his mother-in-law!

this……

How come!

The corner of his mouth moved, and when he was about to say something, he realized that Zhang Sheng had spoken before him.

"Mr. Liu, there are still more than twenty days before I go to school. During these twenty days, I will sell you ten integrated stoves to make up for all the money you lost before. How about it?"

"???"

"Of course, when you give me a commission, prepare a house, a computer, and this advertising truck for me to drive..."

"..."
