"Then let's go here first today. Thank you all for your communication and sharing. Later..."
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the writer's classroom exchange meeting held in the large conference room ended. There were about twenty or thirty authors present, including already famous first-line writers, many potential newcomers, and several others.
As an editor, industry exchange meetings like this are not available in school. Although Li Xingruo sat in the back row as a spectator all day long and had no chance to speak, she felt that she benefited a lot and took notes.
It's several pages long.
The writers were talking and laughing as they packed up their things and prepared to leave. Li Xingruo, who was in the back row, saw this and quickly took out the novel he had brought with him and ran straight towards a certain female TV star.
"The broken branches are huge!"
"Eh? You are..."
Zhe Zhi is a long-standing celebrity in female videos. He is in his thirties and almost forty years old, but he has taken good care of himself. He looks much younger than he actually is, and he looks quite beautiful.
It is said that the author circle is full of fat otakus, but in fact there are still quite a few beautiful female authors and handsome male authors, at least they all dress up brightly outside, which means they just don’t care about their image when they are typing at home.
Li Xingruo's little face was slightly red because of excitement. He has seen the true faces of many writers in the past two days. This is quite exciting. There is probably a feeling that if you meet this person outside, you will never expect this person.
I'm writing a novel, and I'm writing that kind of novel!' It feels like, after all, everyone looks so serious!!
For example, the person in front of me, Zhe Zhi, was very well-known on female channels in the early years. At that time, the Internet environment was not as strict as it is now. When Li Xingruo, who was still a junior high school student, read her novels, he always thought he was reading it as a little emperor uncle.
Yes, I often see the little girl blushing, and usually I only dare to hide in bed and watch quietly.
At that time, I had imagined what Zhe Zhi would look like in real life and what kind of person he would be. To be able to write such a book is really... so exciting!!
"Well... I am Li Xingruo, an editorial intern in the company, but I am a loyal fan of Zhe Zhi Dada! I have been reading Zhe Zhi Dada's books since junior high school, and I have never missed any of them! I finally met Zhe Zhi Dada today, so I want to
Could you please sign your name for me..."
"Thank you, Zhe Zhida!" Li Xingruo took the book and was satisfied.
"It's good if you are interested in creating. Use more materials, think more, practice more, and write with more freedom."
"Don't think wrongly, I mean you don't have to worry too much about choosing words and sentences~!"
"Intern! Intern!"
It's a pity that the poor girl, who has been single for 22 years, has no place to get materials. Sure enough, this is the biggest reason for her rejection, right?
After the exchange meeting, the editor-in-chief arranged for the writers to take a short rest in the hotel. Later, there would be a dinner arranged by the company. Li Xingruo also looked forward to what a dinner party for a group of writers would be like. Unfortunately, she was only a small intern editor and was not qualified to go.
Enjoy this meal.
"Zhu Hui, have you forgotten that your family is also a capitalist?" Li Xingruo found it funny.
"Yes, yes?!"
Several interns packed up the conference room together and returned to their temporary workstations to sit. Normal working hours are from 9 am to 5:30 pm, with a one-and-a-half-hour break at noon. After all, they are not an e-commerce company or software company. In the company, except for some technical departments, the overtime phenomenon in the editorial department is not serious. Even after get off work, we occasionally need to deal with some problems at home.
"Take care of the conference room first. If you have nothing else to do, go back."
Of course, although Li Xingruo's family is in a small county town, it can't be said to be poor. Her mother runs an underwear store and her father runs a hardware store. Life in a small county town is quite comfortable, but her personality has been relatively poor since she was a child.
I want to be strong and hope to achieve something on my own.
Zhezhi smiled, took the book from Li Xingruo's hand, opened the pen cap, and signed his pen name.
Li Xingruo also covered her mouth and laughed when she heard this. Mrs. Zhezhi, who is in her thirties or forties and can talk dirty words, is really exciting.
After speaking, Li Xingruo handed over the book in his hand.
When moving the chairs out, Zhu Hui smiled and walked next to the editor-in-chief and asked: "Editor-in-Chief, can we go back after we clean up the conference room?"
"...Since we have nothing to do anymore, let's go, Xingruo. The editor-in-chief said we can leave."
The beautiful thoughts were interrupted, and Li Xingruo had to work as a cleaner with Zhu Hui bitterly, cleaning up the conference room.
Li Xingruo admires Zhu Hui's boldness, but if it were her, she would not dare to ask this question. After all, Zhu Hui's family is rich and she does not lack this job. One of the differences between the poor and the rich is that the poor are not as good as the rich.
Lots of opportunities for trial and error.
"We're working on it! It's almost half past five, so I just want to ask you..."
"Help clean up the conference room. There will be another exchange meeting tomorrow. Well, Xiao Li, please help us take everyone to the hotel, the same one we had yesterday."
"Now is the market for you young people. The market changes so fast that sometimes I can't keep up. The writers present today are all young. In fact, I am here to learn. I heard that Zhen Xiaoyue is very popular recently.
Still a sophomore."
"Relax..."
There is nothing to do at the moment. Zhu Hui is holding a cell phone to make a dinner date with a friend. Li Xingruo is looking through the notes he took today, adding a little bit in some places or recording his own thoughts.
"It is true that I have written a book, but if I don't write well, I have to learn from Master Zhezhi. The experience shared by Master Zhezhi today is very valuable to me!"
"sure."
Hum, I sell fish, chew coffee, buy plasma TVs, and read Sun Tzu's Art of War. One day, I, Li Xingruo...
"Would you like to sit down for a while?" Li Xingruo looked at the time and felt a little anxious in his heart. Sitting like this was really a waste of time, and there was no one to take the lead and leave first.
"I didn't expect to meet fans here. When you came here just now, I thought you were a new author." Zhezhi said with a smile.
Li Xingruo and Zhu Hui were not interns from the branch, and no one called them during the meeting, so they had to raise their heads and take a curious look at the conference room.
After another two minutes, some departments went to the conference room for a meeting, and several interns from the branch were also called in to have a meeting together.
"What time is it now, and I'm thinking of getting off work? Have you made all your notes?" the editor-in-chief said with a stern look on his face.
As soon as Zhezhi looked at the book cover, he knew that this little girl was indeed his old fan. After all, this was a book that was written many years ago. Due to the size issue, it has been removed from the website, but the physical book published earlier is still available.
Yes, it can be regarded as her famous work.
"Capitalists are so disgusting. They don't have meetings early or late. They have meetings right after get off work, and they don't ask us to get off work first. Damn it, Xingruo, I want to eat fish!" Zhu Hui complained in a low voice.
It was half past five, and no one moved in the entire office. There was no bell like in school, and no one seemed to know that it was time to get off work.
"Let's go, let's go, there's nothing to do while sitting here, I'm afraid they'll ask us to clean the office later!"
"In that case... let's go!"
The two girls carried their bags, checked in at the front desk, and left the company.
Seeing that someone was taking the lead, the remaining people who had nothing to do in the office followed Lu and left work one after another.
