Chapter 85 Resignation
Wang Wenhong stayed up all night.
After learning about the sales volume of the two comics, Chen Zijiao's anger completely exploded in his heart.
Facing Chen Zijiao like this, Wang Wenhong felt tired from the bottom of his heart.
When parting, Wang Wenhong told Chen Zijiao, "Since I accepted the challenge, I should be mentally prepared to lose to Shen Xin."
"Nonsense, didn't you ask me to compete with him?" Chen Zijiao said stiffly.
"That's right, because I can see that this is your only chance to win the Newcomer Award." Wang Wenhong said patiently.
"Go to the tmd newcomer award, now there is nothing! How dare you say that you are not responsible for me becoming like this?" Chen Zijiao said sharply.
Wang Wenhong opened his mouth slightly and looked at Chen Zijiao in astonishment. After about ten seconds, he nodded, "Yes, this is my responsibility. After all, I didn't play a good hand. I'm sorry."
Wang Wenhong bowed solemnly to Chen Zijiao.
"Take care of yourself."
"Get out... fuck me! I will never post Weibo that makes me admit defeat, even if I die!" Chen Zijiao smashed the G-pen in his hand on Wang Wenhong's body.
Wang Wenhong frowned, glanced at Chen Zijiao dissatisfied, turned and left without saying a word.
After returning home, Wang Wenhong sat in a chair without feeling sleepy, reflecting on the experience of the past six months.
In his hands, "Shaky" has been reduced step by step from a popular signature comic to this state. He has an unshirkable responsibility, but he must figure out the reason.
When dawn was approaching, Wang Wenhong took out his notebook and wrote down his thoughts one by one on the word.
This was the first time Wang Wenhong was late for work, and he could clearly feel that everyone was looking at him as soon as he entered the editorial department.
"That...Xiao Wang, President Luo is looking for you." The editor-in-chief coughed lightly, lowered his head, and did not look at Wang Wenhong.
"knew."
Wang Wenhong took out the documents printed in the morning from the document bag, turned and left the editorial department.
The moment he walked out of the editorial office, muffled discussions erupted from the editorial office.
Although Wang Wenhong couldn't hear what they were talking about, he could guess that the content of the conversation was related to him and Chen Zijiao.
Before arriving at the president's office, Wang Wenhong had just knocked on the door twice, when a voice of "please come in" came from the office.
He pushed open the door, and a young man sitting behind the desk raised his head.
"Sit down." The young man pointed to the chair opposite, "It's okay to ask you to come here. I also feel a pity to lose the duel with "Y's", but this is not the end of the world, and there will be opportunities in the future."
Wang Wenhong nodded, but did not sit down, "President, this incident was caused by my fault, and I am willing to bear all the responsibilities."
"There are no people who don't make mistakes. In the final analysis, I am also responsible. I was too impatient and handed Chen Zijiao to you. If the old editor can help you, maybe it will be much better."
"Sorry to disappoint you."
"How about this, "Shaky" will be finished in a month, and you won't be in charge of this comic during this period of time. When something like this happened just now, it would be embarrassing for you to meet Mr. Chen, so it's better for you both to separate After a while, I will prepare the next comic."
"President, I returned home from Mr. Chen, thought a lot, and deeply realized my shortcomings in many aspects. Therefore, I summarized the gains and losses since I became the editor-in-charge of "Shaky" including my mentality. And some fatal mistakes. In short, these contents are written in the document, if you think you have time, you can read it."
"Yes. I will." Luo Zhi took the document handed over by Wang Wenhong, touched the thickness with his fingers, and there should be five or six pages, "Is there anything else?"
"Yes." Wang Wenhong took a deep breath,
He looked up at Luo Zhi.
"explain."
Wang Wenhong took out an envelope from the inner pocket of his suit and put it on the desk, "President, this is my letter of resignation."
"Resignation?" Luo Zhi frowned, looking at Wang Wenhong sharply, "Take it back, I don't accept it."
"I won't take it back either." Wang Wenhong shook his head and said, "It's not an exaggeration to say that today's situation was caused by me alone. Because of my arrogance, I missed Shen Xin, and then indulged Chen Zijiao too much. The results of "Faltering" have been falling step by step. Including this duel, it can be regarded as my single-handed promotion. I guess someone in the magazine has long said that I am a jerk who eats inside and out. You also need to explain to others, right?"
"Since you feel responsible, you should prove yourself again!" Luo Zhi knocked on the table twice.
"President, I've made up my mind, I'm sorry." Wang Wenhong bowed deeply, "If you have nothing to do, I'll go back and pack up."
Luo Zhi watched Wang Wenhong leave the office, frowning, and suddenly slammed his palm on the table hard.
...
"The total sales volume of "Y's" surpassed that of "Shaky", and the new book's single volume reached 180,000 copies." Jian Xiaomei took off Ye Hexu's earphones and explained.
"Ah? You just know now? I have already posted on Weibo to congratulate Teacher Shen." Ye Hexu raised his head and looked at Jian Xiaomei.
"What? When?" Jian Xiaomei had a headache. What she was most worried about was that Ye Hexu would post Weibo privately without saying hello to her.
Who knows what he might write about?
"Three or four in the morning?" Ye Hexu said.
It's three or four o'clock in the morning at your house, right?
Jian Xiaomei rolled her eyes depressedly.
"Ms. Shen's drawing skills are really good. With only two assistants, he can draw two chapters in one week, which I can't do. The storyboard is also very good, especially the color pages of the last issue, which are of high quality , many people's evaluations are correct." Ye Hexu said.
"Shouldn't you comment too?" Jian Xiaomei immediately became alert.
"No. This is a fair duel, and I won't participate in it." Ye Hexu grinned, "It's really not easy for a love comic to sell 180,000 copies in a week. Teacher Su and Xiao Jumping's "Punishment" is also good, selling 300,000 copies."
Seeing Ye Hexu's spirit flickering, Jian Xiaomei also heaved a sigh of relief, Ye Hexu was too casual in handling things, sometimes she couldn't quite understand his style of doing things.
"The latest questionnaire came out. In this issue, the ranking of "Hunting Abyss" finally surpassed "Crime Punishment". It should be related to the protagonist's certification as a hunter. Readers are looking forward to the performance of the protagonist after entering the hunting area " Jian Xiaomei took the name that Ye Hexu handed over, and summarized the suggestions from the questionnaire concisely.
"No problem, from this issue onwards, I will firmly secure the third place—by the way, Jian Xiaomei, the booklet of "The Hunting Abyss" should come out, right?"
"It will be released in the first week of the new year. At that time, the students will have lucky money, which is conducive to the release of "Hunting Abyss."
"First release of 400,000 volumes—"
"Impossible! The sales department has already notified that 150,000 copies will be released." Jian Xiaomei tapped Ye Hexu's head with her name.
"150,000 is 150,000, right? But, you will regret it." Ye Hexu put on the earphones again.
Who are "you"? I am with you!
Jian Xiaomei bulged her cheeks, forcibly resisting the urge to take off Ye Hexu's earphones.
