Chapter 483 Termination of the contract at the latest on Monday
Time passed little by little, and a knock on the door woke Ye Xuan from his sleep.
A few minutes later, Ye Xuan opened the door and saw Chen Xiaofeng standing outside.
"Editor Chen."
"Ye Xuan, it's already half past five, let's go." Chen Xiaofeng said with a smile.
"good."
Ye Xuan then left the hotel with Chen Xiaofeng.
Half an hour later, Chen Xiaofeng took Ye Xuan into a well-decorated restaurant, and Huang Qiang was already waiting at his seat.
"Ye Xuan, sit down, sit down." Huang Qiang greeted Ye Xuan immediately as soon as he saw him.
"Ye Xuan, this is the menu. Take a look and order what you want." Huang Qiang handed the menu to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan took a look and ordered a few dishes at random.
"Ye Xuan, to be honest, I have worked in a publishing house for so many years. I have met many powerful writers, but those as young and promising as you are really rare."
"Your "Dou Po" is so beautiful. The plot design and character portrayal are all so fascinating that people can't put them down." Huang Qiang said with a smile.
"But Ye Xuan, don't blame me for talking too much. There is a rumor online that you have a conflict with Qidu Novel Network. Is this true?"
"It's true." Ye Xuan said.
"But it's okay. I've already thought of a solution. It won't affect the new book."
At this time, the waiter brought the prepared delicacies one by one.
"Here, eat it while it's hot. Let's fill our stomachs first." Huang Qiang greeted warmly.
Then the three of them started to use their chopsticks.
Half an hour later, the three of them had almost finished eating and had almost finished talking.
"Ye Xuan, I will go to you with the contract tomorrow. Then we will see what needs to be modified." Chen Xiaofeng said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll leave first." Ye Xuan nodded and then took a taxi back to the hotel.
As soon as he returned to the hotel, Ye Xuan took a shower, then lay on the bed and played with his mobile phone. At this moment, his mobile phone rang. It was Li Hui calling.
"Hey Editor Li, what can you do?" Ye Xuan said.
"Ye Xuan, I want to tell you the news. After discussion last night, the website decided to re-list "Dou Po", and other channels will also put it on the shelves."
"The website is preparing to make a new round of recommendations for "Dou Po", and is already discussing how to operate peripheral products."
“The website also realized that the previous approach was too lack of consideration...”
Ye Xuan listened to Li Hui's words and sneered in his heart. At this time, he said that the method was lacking consideration. He thought it was very ridiculous.
"The editor-in-chief asked me to say sorry to you, so we will just change the story and continue to cooperate." Li Hui said with a smile.
"In other words, the editor-in-chief realized that what he did before was wrong? In that case, why didn't he apologize to me personally? This seems to be insufficient sincerity." Ye Xuan said lightly.
"This..." Li Hui was speechless for a moment. Ye Xuan's statement was indeed correct.
"Editor-in-Chief Li, in fact, it is not the chief editor who realizes that his behavior is wrong. He is probably afraid that I will propose to terminate the contract. In this way, Qidu Novel Network will not be able to carry out plans related to "Dou Po" without my permission."
"As a result, Qidu Novel Network must have suffered huge losses. I think it is for this reason that the editor-in-chief realized the mistake."
"Please tell the editor-in-chief that this termination of the contract is necessary and no one can stop it." Ye Xuan said firmly.
"Ye Xuan, why do you think this is necessary? I think..."
"Editor Li, I'm a little tired. I want to rest. Anyway, just tell the editor exactly what I said. I will terminate the contract and issue a statement on Monday at the latest." Ye Xuan said with firm eyes.
After saying that, Ye Xuan hung up the phone. He was not a fool. He knew exactly what the leader of Qidu Novel Network was thinking.
Now that I know I'm afraid, what have I done? Ye Xuan doesn't just call him in when he wants to, or call him away when he wants to. Now that Qidu Novel Network has given such a good opportunity to assist, he naturally has to take advantage of it.
Taking all the copyrights of "Dou Po" back into his own hands, and then publishing them through public accounts, and then slowly developing the IP of "Dou Po" when the time is right, this is the best way for him to maximize his profits.
"Editor Li, what do you say Shikou Xuan?" the editor looked at Li Hui and said.
Li Hui shook his head, sighed and said: "Editor-in-Chief, Jukou Xuan asked me to tell you that he will propose to terminate the contract by Monday at the latest, and our website is not allowed to conduct any activities related to "Dou Po"."
"Bang!"
The editor-in-chief was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up. His eyes were full of anger, and the atmosphere in the entire office suddenly became cold and depressing.
"What exactly does Jukou Xuan want to do? I have already compromised with him and given in to him. Why is he still so unreasonable and insisting on not having any contact with me until we die?"
"We at Qidu Novel Network have the best resources. Once he really leaves the support of our platform, his popularity and traffic will definitely decline. Hasn't he thought about this?"
The editor-in-chief was so angry that he walked back and forth in the office.
Li Hui looked at the angry editor-in-chief, feeling very helpless.
At the beginning, Li Hui strongly opposed the removal of "Dou Po" and the stalemate in the relationship with Ye Xuan, but no one listened at the time. Now that the situation has become like this, it can only be said that it is his own fault.
"Humph, if you cancel the contract, you will terminate the contract. Do you really think I will care about "Dou Po"? There are many follow-up works appearing now. We only need to find one with good results and fully recommend it. I don't believe it will be better than "Dou Po"
Bad." The editor-in-chief said with a cold snort.
"It is very easy for us to create gods at Qidu Novel Network. Li Hui, I will leave this matter to you."
"Chief Editor, I'm afraid I don't have enough time and energy. I will have to discuss with the publishing house and some authors who want to IP." Li Hui said solemnly.
"Okay, then I will leave this matter to others. Okay, that's it for today. You can go home after get off work." The editor-in-chief waved his hand and said.
Li Hui nodded and then left the editor-in-chief's office.
Li Hui has his own bottom line of principles. If he is asked to support such works that follow the trend, he really can't do it. If it sounds good, it is following the trend, and if it sounds bad, it is plagiarism.
As a senior editor, Li Hui has a very good character in the editorial circle. He cannot let his character be ruined because of this kind of thing.
If other editors want to do it, he will not stop it, but from this moment on, Qidu Novel Network and Jukou Xuan have no hope of further cooperation.
"Hey, if I had known this today, why would I have listened to me then?" Li Hui sighed up to the sky, and then walked out of the office building. (To be continued)
