It's not that Wen Ying disdains the trio of Xiao Salamanders, it's just that none of the three of them seem to have the character to successfully rebel (make trouble).
If you have to choose someone to do things, Wen Ying thinks Yuan Fenghui is more suitable.
Wen Ying is still undecided on whether to sign a contract with Yuan Fenghui.
On Saturday, because of the embarrassment of the new editor-in-chief Bao Lixin, Wen Ying was unable to go to Xie Qian's house for tutoring as usual.
Xie Qian waited until 5:30 in the afternoon. Before the housekeeper Liu made dinner, he asked Xie Qian: "Would you like Xiao Wen's portion?"
"Let me ask."
Aunt Liu hid in the kitchen and snickered: "You are so young. She obviously cares about Xiaowen very much. She checked her phone countless times in the afternoon. Wouldn't it be nice to just call and ask?"
When the young man didn't take the initiative, Aunt Liu handed her up the stairs. Xie Qian didn't continue to be arrogant and took the opportunity to call Wen Ying's cell phone.
The call was connected, and along with Wen Ying's voice came the sound of a fierce argument.
"Are you arguing with someone?"
"There was no quarrel. It was Xiao Sala and Editor Song who had some disagreements. I won't go to make up classes today because the publishing company's matter has not been resolved!"
Wen Ying half-covered the receiver with one hand, trying to stay away from the emotional Editor Wan.
Xie Qian frowned: "You went to the publishing house to discuss the publication of the new book "Xun Yong" and the settlement of quarterly royalties for the first two books. What's wrong with this... The new editor-in-chief is not easy to get along with?"
The publishing contract for "Xun Yong" has been signed long ago, and the royalties settlement for "Young Idol" and "Galaxy and You" also have old rules. Apart from the new editor-in-chief looking for trouble, Xie Qian never thought that Wen Ying would be delayed for other reasons!
Bao Lixin had just taken office, and Xie Qian had already checked his professional background in private and found that he was a very capable professional publisher.
Now it seems that being capable does not mean being easy to get along with!
Why did Xie Qian conclude that Bao Lixin was difficult to get along with?
Anyway, hamsters are easy to get along with. There is no problem with the hamster. The only problem is other people.
Xie Qian doesn't feel that his position is biased at all. When trouble comes, he doesn't take sides with those close to him and instead goes to find excuses for strangers. It would be strange for such a stupid person.
"It's not that it's hard to get along with me. Editor Bao and I have different ideas."
Wen Ying briefly talked about the differences between herself and Bao Lixin, and Xie Qian became more and more firm in his judgment: "You are right, it is him who has a problem. It is ridiculous that he wants to talk about the market and try to replicate the success of "Young Idol"
It will destroy your creative passion and talent together."
Xie Qian's voice got louder, "I can even say that you won't succeed in writing another companion volume to "Young Idol". Since "Young Idol" became popular, imitations have appeared on the market one after another, and some authors have imitated your writing style and style.
The subject matter makes money, and they take your path away, leaving you with no choice but to keep innovating!"
Before Wen Ying was born, youth novels were either critical or just moaning. "Young Idol" touched countless readers with its warm writing style. When other publishing houses saw the profits, they would naturally make appointments with the author for similar genres.
Book manuscript.
Some authors disdain to imitate others, and some authors are not determined enough to refuse the temptation of fame and fortune.
Anyway, Xie Qian can find several novels similar to "Teenage Idol" if he goes to any bookstore now!
What Wen Ying has to do now is not to cycle endlessly in the style of "Teen Idol". She has to break out of this cycle, constantly innovate, and constantly climb to the top to become an existence that others have been imitating but cannot surpass!
Xie Qian still had a lot to say, but Wen Ying had no time to elaborate:
"Yes, I have the same idea as you. How can we go back after finally getting out of the influence of "Teenage Idol"! In short, that's what happened. I can't go over to make up for classes today. Hey, Xiao Salaman called me, come back
Talk to you again!"
When I looked back, I don't know how many hours later it was.
Wen Ying has encountered this kind of thing before, whether she is complaining or asking for help, Xie Qian must be her first sharing partner.
After the fried skewers shop confessed, everything changed... At this moment, Xie Qian could no longer deceive himself. He didn't like the distance between him and Wen Ying at all!
Xie Qian suppressed the irritability in his heart and walked to the yard to call Jiang Xuekun.
Aunt Liu prepared the meal, but Xie Qian never came in. Aunt Liu greeted Li Mengjiao and Peng Guoqing with a smile:
"You guys should eat first. You have to do homework in the evening. Only when you are full can you have the energy to continue studying."
Peng Guoqing turned to look at the yard and asked Li Mengjiao in a low voice: "Is Xie Qian a little strange today? He went out at noon and didn't eat at night."
Li Mengjiao bit into the spicy chicken wings and said vaguely: "Nothing strange, he has always been like this, so he is thanking the gods and we are not. How can mortals understand the thoughts of gods!"
Oh, it seems to make sense~
Peng Guoqing picked up rice grains in his mouth. He liked Li Mengjiao calling Xie Shen "Xie Shen".
After all, with Peng Guoqing’s poor foundation, except for the enlightenment from the gods, he has no chance of getting admitted to the 211 University in Shanghai!
…
Hey, I seem to have forgotten to mention that Yuan Fenghui wants to sign a management contract?
Wen Ying hung up the phone with Xie Qian and then remembered.
It was not appropriate to call back. Yuan Fenghui came out of Bao Lixin's office and asked Wen Ying if she wanted to go with him.
"Shall I give you a ride?"
Wen Ying pointed at the three little salamanders, and Yuan Fenghui waved her hand: "Let's go together, they must all have a lot to say. It's not convenient to talk here, and it will be troublesome if the wall has ears~"
Editor Wan woke up from his frenzy in an instant and nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, let's change places."
Although Bao Lixin is the new editor-in-chief, normally he is not very familiar with the people in the publishing house. Why can't he resist someone making snitches to please the new editor-in-chief?
This kind of thing should be done with caution, otherwise Bao Lixin might be taken away by the other party instead.
It was already time to get off work. Normally, Little Salamander would take the initiative to work overtime. Today, he was not in the mood to work overtime, so he immediately followed Yuan Fenghui and Wen Ying.
Yuan Fenghui and Wen Ying walked in the front, Xiao Sala, Song Foxiang and Editor Wan walked behind. The five people got into the same car. Editor Bao could clearly see this scene from his superior position.
Editor Wan’s bright head is so recognizable that Editor Bao can recognize him at a glance.
——Hmph, this is another direct descendant of Zou Weijun!
The "Hush, Little Secret" series is currently being produced by Editor Wan.
The phone on Editor Bao's desk rang suddenly.
The call was from Jiang Xuekun, asking Editor-in-Chief Bao whether he was comfortable with the working environment.
Editor-in-chief Bao was excited at first. The general manager of the group was much higher than him as editor-in-chief. Jiang Xuekun changed the topic and suddenly talked about Bao Lixin’s working methods: "It is important to cultivate new authors, and it is even more important to maintain old authors.
, you still have to pay attention to methods when doing things, don’t act too hastily.”
Bao Lixin was shocked: "Mr. Jiang, have you heard something? This is a misunderstanding. I can explain it. Everything I do is for the good of the publishing house, not for personal gain!"
Jiang Xuekun smiled heartily, "Of course I believe you. Since it is a misunderstanding, let's resolve the misunderstanding as soon as possible."
Bao Lixin is still a little worse than Zou Weijun.
Zou Weijun is soft yet strong, especially courageous. All authors like Zou Weijun. She can do anything she wants with half the effort.
Bao Lixin wanted to act when he first arrived, and Jiang Xuekun suspected that his professional qualifications were fraudulent. How could anyone be so stupid?
Bao Lixin signed an employment contract with the publishing group, and Jiang Xuekun could not fire him casually with just one sentence.
Jiang Xuekun hopes that Bao Lixin can be a smart man and not cause any embarrassment in the end!
