In this world, there are always people who lack ability but are unwilling to admit that others are better than themselves. For example, the person speaking now is a six-year veteran editor of Fengshang Publishing House and a person who has just entered his thirties.
A sissy, even the name has a hint of sissy temperament, Du Xiaoou.
The Editor-in-Chief Lan mentioned by Du Xiaoou is the oldest editor-in-chief of this publishing house, and can be regarded as the most powerful person besides the president.
Lan Moxi, a young woman who is about to enter her thirties, has worked at Fengshang Publishing House for ten years. She has been an intern here since she was a student, and has gradually reached the position of editor-in-chief. She is one of the hard-working social animals.
represent.
Talented people like Lu Ziyou have always been a thorn in Lan Moxi's side, because it seems that a genius like Lu Ziyou can achieve it with just a little effort, which takes a long time to achieve. This makes Lan Moxi
Her heart was very unbalanced, and instead of turning this imbalance into motivation for hard work, she became blinded by jealousy.
Lu Ziyou came to Fengshang Publishing House with great expectations in less than three years, but she has already jumped from an editorial assistant to the editor-in-chief second only to her. Moreover, the president has high expectations for Lu Ziyou. Lu Ziyou's appearance is likely to threaten Lan Moxi's current position.
, so when the president decided to promote Lu Ziyou to editor-in-chief, Lan Moxi made a lot of obstacles, but in the end it didn't help.
And this Du Xiaoou is Lan Moxi's lackey. In this publishing house, Lan Moxi has always followed his lead. Otherwise, how could someone like him, who only knows how to flatter, get the position of editor.
When Du Xiaoou said this, Zhang Jun, Lu Ziyou's colleague and subordinate, quit his job and jumped out of his chair and said to Du Xiaoou.
"Editor Du, what age are we in now? What are you talking about in terms of seniority? Don't you know that now is the age where ability is king? Our editor Lu is young, and his qualifications are indeed shallow compared to yours. But as far as I know
, this Great God Gu Mo is only twenty-three or four years old this year. If you ask me, he is the most suitable for our editor-in-chief. He is of the same age and can have common topics when we meet. You guys, who are in your thirties and above, meet Gu Mo.
What can Master Mo talk about? He is a master of science fiction, can you understand what he writes?"
At first glance, Zhang Jun is Lu Ziyou's loyal supporter, but compared with Du Xiaoou, Zhang Jun's admiration is limited to Lu Ziyou's ability, rather than flattery without offline.
What Du Xiaoou hates the most is when people make excuses for their age. In this industry, if you don't have a profound cultural background, you can only rely on youth. But in Du Xiaoou's opinion, he doesn't have both. Otherwise, people at his age will generally
Transferred to the Literary Publishing Department, not the Youth Publishing Department.
"What are you arguing about? The president has something to announce."
At this time, the door to the president's office opened, and a man and a woman walked out.
The woman is Lan Moxi, the chief editor of the youth department of Fengshang Publishing House, and the man next to her, about forty years old, is the head of the publishing house, Lu Kezhao.
The originally buzzing public office area suddenly became quiet and silent.
Lu Ziyou raised her head and glanced at Lan Moxi. She was the one who rejected all the copy she submitted in the president's office just now.
Although she herself was not very satisfied with the copywriting, it was not worthless as Lan Moxi said. Although some of the storylines were a bit cliche, there were still some eye-catching moments.
It's just that in the workplace, the highest level of officialdom is the most important thing. No matter how much Lu Ziyou recommends it, as long as Lan Moxi doesn't agree, Lu Ziyou can only accept it.
At this time, Lan Moxi also glanced at Lu Ziyou, with a trace of disdain and provocation flashing in her eyes, but Lu Ziyou ignored it calmly and didn't take it seriously. This kind of ignorance only angered Lan Moxi.
"Listening to your discussion just now, I believe you also know that Master Gu Mo is going to publish a new book, and this time he did not choose Dianzhong Literature, which he has been cooperating with for a long time, but wants to choose a new partner. Just now Chief Editor Lan and I have already
After discussion, our Fengshang Publishing House must win the exclusive copyright and serialization of Gu Mo’s novel this time. As long as we can win Gu Mo’s novel, our bonus at the end of the year will be doubled.”
When Lu Kezhao said this, everyone was shocked. They said they didn't know that Gu Mo's books have been in the top three of the literary list for many years, and the physical books are sold out as soon as they are put on the shelves, let alone adapted into TV series, movies, animations, and mobile games.
"In addition, whoever can successfully win over Gu Mo Great God this time will have the position of director of the publishing house, and will directly become one of the partners of the publishing house."
This is the most exciting thing. The position of publishing director has been vacant for more than three years. It is said that Lan Moxi has been working hard for that position over the years, but Lu Kezhao never mentioned it. Everyone thought that this position would be available in the future.
The location is no longer available, and I didn’t expect it to be mentioned again now.
What attracts everyone the most is definitely being a partner of a publishing house, which allows you to enjoy year-end dividends.
Feng Shang Publishing House is the largest literary publishing house in the country. Although the profit from publishing is low, the most profitable thing of Feng Shang Publishing House is the copyright income. Their president is said to have annual dividends of tens of millions, and his net worth is tens of millions.
100 million.
Although there are big and small partners, no matter how bad they are, the annual dividends are only a few million. Even Lan Moxi, as the editor-in-chief of a publishing house, has an annual salary of just one million.
Lu Kezhao's words undoubtedly inspired everyone present.
At this moment, the dog-legged Du Xiaoou spoke.
"President Lu, I think we should leave such a big matter to our Editor-in-Chief Lan. This Great God Gu Mo has always been mysterious. Apart from Weibo, he doesn't even have a public contact information, let alone what he looks like? How many of us are here?
Person No. 10, who has as many contacts as our Chief Editor Lan, I am afraid she is the only one who can find Gu Mo’s contact information.”
When Du Xiaoou said this, several editors who wanted to fight for it gave up. First, they did not want to conflict with Lan Moxi head-on. Furthermore, as Du Xiaoou said, they had no way to get Gu Mo's contact information.
At this time, Lan Moxi spoke up, looking confident that he was determined to win.
"President Lu, don't worry. I've been working in this industry for almost ten years. Apart from anything else, I'm still confident in my connections. I happen to know an editor from Dianzhong Literature, so I should be able to get Gumo's job."
Contact information."
When Lu Kezhao heard this, of course he readily agreed, nodded and said.
"Okay, let's leave the Gumo matter to..."
"Wait a minute, President Lu, I want to give it a try."
At this time, Lu Ziyou walked out of the crowd and spoke with a firm expression.
After Lu Kezhao heard this, his eyes lit up. It was obvious that he had always been fond of Lu Ziyou, but now that two people wanted to compete for this project, he was in a bit of a dilemma.
Lan Moxi never expected that Lu Ziyou would jump out, her eyes turned cold, and then she said mockingly.
"Editor Lu, how can you try this kind of thing? You should know what signing Gu Mo's copyright means to a publishing house. Do you think the publishing house is owned by your family? Are you still trying? We don't have that many
You're wasting time. I guess people from other publishing houses have already started to think of ways to contact Gumo. You're just delaying everyone's work."
Lan Moxi put Lu Ziyou in an ignorant position as if he was considering the publishing house. When Lu Kezhao heard this, his heart shifted to Lan Moxi's side.
"Ziyou, I think it's better to forget it this time. Gu Mo is too mysterious. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. I'll leave Gu Mo's affairs to Chief Editor Lan..."
"President Lu, I have Gumo's contact number."
Lu Ziyou directly used his trump card. When it came to contacting other writers, she might not be completely sure, but Gu Mo, if she couldn't get the copyright of his novel, the entire publishing house might not be able to get it, and it was even more likely that they wouldn't be able to get it.
Can't even see him face to face.
When Lu Ziyou said this, everyone was shocked, especially Lan Moxi, who was sure to win just now. In addition to being shocked, they were more suspicious.
"Lu Ziyou, you didn't make it up just to compete with me, did you? Who doesn't know that Gu Mo is mysterious? Not many people in the circle have his contact information, you? How could you have it?"
After Lan Moxi finished speaking, Lu Kezhao on the side also looked at Lu Ziyou, exploring in private.
At this time, Lu Ziyou didn't explain anything. He took out his cell phone and dialed the contact number that was engraved in his mind. In order to prove that he was not making it up, he turned on the speakerphone.
Toot toot…
On the other end of the phone, there was the sound of dialing. Everyone in the huge public office area held their breath and concentrated when they heard the beep.
The phone rang twice before it was connected, and a clear man's voice came from the other side.
"Yuyou? Why did you suddenly remember to call me..."
"Hello, Gu Mo, I am Lu Ziyou from Fengshang Publishing House."
Lu Ziyou was afraid that the person over there would say something nonsense, so he immediately called the other person's pen name and revealed his identity.
The man on the other side of the phone was stunned for a moment, paused for a few seconds, and then spoke.
"Editor Lu, did you see my Weibo post?"
The man on the other side of the phone was not stupid. This woman who had not contacted him all year round called him out of nowhere and called him by his pen name. Even a fool knew what the woman was going to say next.
