Duan Jiajia didn't know that Hu Lai might be related to him, so he finished writing the last chapter in the company and sent it to Chen Zhengnian.
The novel "Asking the Sword", which has been serialized for nearly three years, has finally come to an end.
Duan Jiajia stretched, and it seemed as if he could hear the sound of bones cracking.
After finishing this, Duan Jiajia called Chen Zhengnian: "I have sent you the final tens of thousands of words. I will take a break for a while, and I am still considering the new book."
Duan Jiajia got straight to the point without any intention of making small talk.
The situation on Chen Zhengnian's end is actually not very good.
Chen Zhengnian rarely mentioned his personal relationship with Duan Jiajia in the magazine, but now someone is deliberately targeting him, and Duan Jiajia is now the mainstay of the magazine.
Of course, some people couldn't stand it and wanted to snatch the green sleeve, Duan Jiajia, from Chen Zhengnian.
The phone is on speakerphone.
No one expected that Duan Jiajia would call Chen Zhengnian at this time.
"I'll read it on the computer later. Do you have any ideas for your new book?"
Duan Jiajia didn't know what was going on. He rubbed his temples and said, "Yes, but it's still very messy. There are many books in the school library. I'm going to check the information at school. What? Is something wrong?"
Chen Zhengnian looked at the malicious colleague across from him and said calmly: "There may be some changes in my next work, and I need to find a new editor for you."
As soon as he said this, Duan Jiajia snorted coldly on the phone and said in a bad tone: "Chen Zhengnian, I know there may be some conflicts within your magazine, but I am just an author. Please don't use me as a bargaining chip here. I don’t like it when I add my own contributions or use it as a tool to attack others. I haven’t written a new book, and I don’t only have one “Martial Arts Dream” to submit.”
Chen Zhengnian shrugged helplessly at his colleagues and editor-in-chief: "Okay, I will make this clear to Editor-in-Chief Yang. We have been partners for so many years, and our magazine has also helped you expand a lot of contacts and increase your reputation. You Because these are about to go away, it won’t sound good if this is spread out.”
"I just want to write a book quietly and don't want to get involved in these things. If you can't express these things clearly, I will call Editor Yang again." Duan Jiajia's tone was also very rude, and he yawned as if I can't say I have a good relationship with Chen Zhengnian: "Okay, I have something else to do, that's it."
Listening to the phone beeping, Chen Zhengnian spread his hands towards the two people: "I said, Luxiu and I have a cooperative relationship. If there is any personal relationship, it is that I am really fond of her works. But I feel the same way about the works of several other authors under me. However, Luxiu was lucky. It happened that there was a shortage of scripts with a theme in Xiangjiang. I originally wanted to submit it for a contract, but I didn't expect that it was directly chosen by the senior management. .”
After Chen Zhengnian finished speaking, he also showed a sarcastic expression: "Editor-in-chief, I don't think I have done anything detrimental to the magazine, right? I use my personal relationship to promote the magazine's authors, which indeed makes our magazine more popular. Xiangjiang and Baodao have also achieved considerable sales, and have opened up the northern market. I have hard work without any credit, right? Just picking peaches like this, do you think I am easy to bully? "
He had endured enough at the magazine.
Once or twice, now Chen Zhengnian's foundation has been directly cut off. If he doesn't have any temper, people will really think of him as a soft persimmon who is easy to bully!
"Zhengnian, why do you think so?" Chief Editor Yang was smiling, his eyes were much gloomier than three years ago.
The last time he made things difficult for Chen Zhengnian was such a big joke that even the group issued a warning to Editor Yang.
The purpose of appeasing the old ministers is not to disappoint the hard-working old employees in the group.
But it does not mean that you will always favor an employee who makes repeated mistakes and harm the company's interests.
Editor Yang knew that as soon as he left this position, the only person who would replace him would be Chen Zhengnian.
Originally, Editor Yang really wanted to train Chen Zhengnian as his successor.
Chen Zhengnian also has this ability.
It's a pity that the differences between the two people are getting bigger and bigger because of the reward matter.
Editor Yang also felt aggrieved.
Green Sleeves was not just discovered by Chen Zhengnian. Without his approval, would Green Sleeves' works have been published in magazines? Can there be any later performance?
yes.
Chen Zhengnian did use a lot of his own family connections.
But it was Editor Yang who gave him this stage, right?
Editor-in-Chief Yang feels that he just wants to look better when he retires. Young people still have more time to fight for their futures. Why compete with him who is facing retirement?
Besides, this has its own merit.
"I asked Xiaoxia to apologize to you for this matter. We also see that you have been working too hard recently. The Green Sleeves are actually on the right track. They are about to release a new book. I thought it would be faster if someone else can get started. Since the Green Sleeves are not If you are willing, forget it. I still have to work hard for you!" Editor-in-Chief Yang seemed to have never happened, and said like a good leader: "You are the most promising person in our magazine, do a good job! I am optimistic about you! "
Chen Zhengnian smiled and said nothing.
He raised his head and glanced at Xiaoxia, whose smile was a little distorted.
Seeing such things, Chen Zhengnian felt tired.
A magazine is not owned by itself.
The fight was like fighting for the throne.
He didn't even know what these two people were planning.
In order to get a promotion and a salary increase, is it necessary to come up with such a conspiracy?
"It's okay, it's all within my work. Editor-in-Chief, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Chen Zhengnian dismissed the two people and turned to leave the office.
After going out, he used an excuse to smoke and went to a phone booth a little outside to call Duan Jiajia.
"Another confrontation with Editor Yang!" Duan Jiajia answered the call and guessed it was Chen Zhengnian. He joked: "You've done a good job. Those who didn't know better would have thought it was some Hong Kong rich man vying for family property."
"I think so too." Chen Zhengnian held a cigarette, scratched his forehead with his fingers, and smiled helplessly: "But let them go. I can't solve this in a short while. Now the group is also warning Editor Yang, they just wanted to see if I could be a good starting point today, and they hit a snag. It is estimated that there will be no more small moves for a long time."
Duan Jiajia didn't know what to say.
From Chen Zhengnian's tone, it didn't sound like he needed comfort.
"Then I wish you good luck! How is the website construction going?" Duan Jiajia asked.
"It's still in closed beta, don't worry, I'm looking for great programmers." Chen Zhengnian is still very capable at work: "By the way, what are your ideas for your new book?"
He didn't believe that Duan Jiajia was really unprepared as he said on the previous phone call.
