Chapter 57

"What's this?"

Yang Feng used the address book to ask Chu Kuang.

Lin Yuan didn't see the news until after dinner, and replied: "Isn't it the manuscript that your company invited? The person who invited the manuscript is You Rong, who said he was the editor-in-chief of "Fun Reading" magazine. Could it be that I met a liar?"

Lin Yuan felt a little lucky.

Fortunately, I was very witty and sent the manuscript to Yang Feng, the editor in charge of "Net King" at Yinlan Bookstore. If the guy who called himself You Rong was not from Yinlan Bookstore, Lin Yuan would have no loss.

"He's not a liar."

Yang Feng replied with a complex expression.

Seeing that Chu Kuang didn't reply again, Yang Fengteng stood up from his seat and dialed the editor-in-chief's phone number: "You have to come forward for the editor-in-chief, and You Rong actually asked Chu Kuang for a manuscript behind our backs! "

"What?"

The editor-in-chief on the other end of the phone was agitated, his tone full of anger: "It is difficult to guard against house thieves by day and night, and he, You Rong, dared to make an appointment with Chu Kuang behind our Youth Fantasy Department's back. Do you want to take us seriously? I am now I work in the company, so go to the magazine department to settle accounts with him!"

Many companies have annual holidays.

However, there are also people on duty at Yinlan Bookstore during the Chinese New Year. Those who work are all locals from Sioux City, and their salary is five times that of usual. With this kind of reward, many people are willing to work during the Spring Festival.

hang up the phone.

The editor-in-chief of the youth fantasy department, Lao Xiong, went directly to the magazine department, and immediately saw You Rong, the head of the magazine department: "Old You, are you acting a little dishonestly, even asking Chu Kuang for a manuscript behind our backs?"

"Old Bear, that's so ugly."

Ever since Chu Kuang said that he sent the manuscript to Yang Feng, You Rong knew something bad happened, so he made mental preparations in advance: "I was going to inform you, but you came, sit down and have a cup of tea." , we are all colleagues."

"Don't try to pretend to be crazy."

Old Xiong also ignored the strange gazes of the employees around him, and said angrily: "Chu Kuang's "Net King" submits 200,000 words every month. I don't need to introduce you how high the sales volume of this book is now. As a result, you are still asking him for a draft, isn't this affecting his creation?"

"It's not my fault."

You Rong was also in a hurry: "Even if I don't ask Chu Kuang for a draft, he himself will publish short stories on the tribe. I am very optimistic about the quality of his short stories. Instead of publishing them for free on the tribe, why not put them on our blog?" It was published on "Interesting Reading", which is our company's trump card magazine after all."

"He was on a whim."

Old Xiong became more and more angry: "But you have encouraged his interest in writing short stories. After all, human energy is limited. After writing short stories for your magazine, how much energy does he have to update "Net King"?"

"He volunteered."

You Rong coughed.

This kind of thing should really be called in advance, but You Rong knew that Lao Xiong would probably not let it go in order to ensure the stable update of "Net King", so he thought about cutting it first and playing later, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating.

"Are you deliberately robbing someone?"

"What's the name of Duyi Company's robbery?"

"I think you are just jealous of our performance!"

"Old bear, you are going too far for saying this."

Now the two editor-in-chiefs are really angry, and they even quarreled in front of the employees. In the end, someone called the editor-in-chief over, and the two sides stopped temporarily, but the editor-in-chief also had a headache: "Stop yelling, put the Show me the manuscript."

Soon Yang Feng sent the manuscript to the editor-in-chief.

This manuscript is called "Maggie's Gift", and it is only 3,000 words long, so the editor-in-chief can read it quickly.

But what surprised Old Xiong and You Rong was...

After the editor-in-chief read the manuscript, he was surprisingly silent.

Take a closer look.

Both were stunned.

Because the editor-in-chief, who has always been unsmiling and known for his majesty, his eyes were slightly red at this moment, and he even wiped away his tears quietly.

The editor-in-chief cried?

Both of them were terrified now.

You Rong said anxiously: "What's the matter with you, editor-in-chief? It's Chinese New Year, and we just had a little conflict. You don't have to be so sad."

"that is."

Old Xiong didn't dare to care about it now: "Isn't it just a draft request? Since Chu Kuang agreed, then I won't say anything here. He dared to accept it, which shows that he has the confidence to take care of both sides."

The two had never seen the editor-in-chief like this.

The editor-in-chief stood up and ignored the two of them, and made a phone call with a slightly hoarse voice: "Book me a ticket home immediately, I want the earliest flight."

"The editor-in-chief..."

Old Xiong and You Rong panicked completely.

The editor-in-chief originally said that he would not go home during the Spring Festival this year, but in the end, he was pissed off and cried because of this stupid thing between the two of them!

Don't even care about work!

The editor-in-chief glanced at the two with flushed eyes and said, "Do you know how hard it was when I first started my business?"

"ah?"

The editor-in-chief ignored the confusion of the two, and said to himself: "I remember the worst time, my wife and I could live a day with plain water and steamed buns. Later, my wife found a job as a cleaner in the school cafeteria, so I would eat it at noon every day. Just to see her as an excuse to eat in the school cafeteria and drink the free soup, it tastes really good."

Old Xiong subconsciously said, "What happened next?"

The editor-in-chief smiled softly: "Later, my wife lived in a luxurious villa and ate all kinds of delicacies—but she had to take care of my parents in the villa, and when she ate delicacies from mountains and seas, she was often alone. ——Do you think we were happier before or now? It’s Chinese New Year, I miss my wife, I have to spend time with my family, you locals, please work harder, please.”

After speaking, the editor-in-chief bowed slightly, then turned and left.

You Rong shouted in a daze: "The editor-in-chief..."

The editor-in-chief suddenly paused: "Well, by the way, help me get a copy of Mr. Chu Kuang's signature, and tell him that I am his book fan."

This time, the editor-in-chief really left.

But Lao Xiong and You Rong looked at each other, vaguely realizing that the cause of this matter was not their conflict.

Because the editor-in-chief has been in the Yinlan library for so many years, it is the first time that he publicly admitted that he is a fan of a certain writer under the company.

novel!

It's a novel!

The two of them suddenly came back to their senses, and they didn't quarrel anymore, but each asked Yang Feng to send a copy of "Maggie's Gift".

This may be the source of the editor-in-chief's change of mind.

After the old bear left.

You Rong couldn't wait to open "Maggie's Gift". He wanted to see what was written in this novel, but the editor-in-chief didn't even care about his work.

The novel is short.

While reading the novel, You Rong didn't have any special reaction.

But when he saw the end of this novel, You Rong suddenly couldn't help covering his temples on both sides of his forehead, and wailed in pain:

"ah!"

Now he fully understands the abnormality of the editor-in-chief. The power of words is terrifying. People who have had similar experiences will always read other people's stories and shed their own tears, especially when facing the "Gift of the Magi". Such a blast ending in a novel!

"Boss, what's the matter?"

Some employees couldn't help but care.

You Rong sat slumped on the chair: "Chu Kuang told me to make a price after reading the novel... Do I dare to make a price for such a novel..."
