Three days later, the second batch of custom-made promotional kettles were also delivered to the school and were directly received by Qian Jiahao, the director of the Practice Department.
At noon that day, Li Mo had just had lunch in the cafeteria when Ou Junxing called him.
"Boss, the second batch of promotional kettles has arrived. When do you think the land promotion will be done?"
Li Mo thought for a moment and responded:
"Don't worry, the leaflets Lu Yingquan has hired to make will arrive tomorrow. Let's finish distributing the leaflets first and then start promoting the kettle."
Ou Junxing nodded:
"That's okay. After all, the cost of kettles is indeed high, and there is really no need to send them continuously."
After saying this, he hesitated for a few seconds and then said:
"Boss, I have something else to do, and I may need you to come over."
Li Mo heard this and immediately shook his head:
"I won't go to your place again. If you really need to meet and talk about something, come over to my place."
"No, you really need to come to the literary club for this matter."
"Why?"
"Our president, Hu Wenjing, is going to call a meeting with all members in the afternoon."
"I heard that her main purpose of this impromptu meeting is to stop all members from writing diversionary posts for you."
Li Mo was a little surprised when he heard the news:
"Why would she do this? It's nothing to do with her."
Ou Junxing was silent on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, then sighed:
"To be honest, I don't understand it, so you might as well come over and see for yourself."
Li Mo laughed when he heard this:
"Now that she's decided, why should I go over there to watch? Do she still want to give a speech about terminating cooperation in front of me?"
"No, I mean if you do it yourself, you might be able to figure it out. If I repeat it to you, it won't be so comprehensive."
After hearing this, Li Mo thought about it and agreed:
"Okay, then you can wait for me at the stairs of the literary club. I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Li Mo didn't go back to his dormitory, but went directly to the literary club on the North Campus.
When he arrived at the complex where the literary club was located, Ou Junxing was already waiting for him at the door.
"Why don't you wait up there? It's too hot to wait at the door."
"Fortunately, I'm afraid I might bump into Hu Wenjing while I'm waiting above."
Ou Junxing pulled Li Mo to a wall of the complex and briefly explained what he had learned.
"I have been wondering in the past two days why several of my members suddenly stopped writing manuscripts."
"When I asked them, they hesitated and said they didn't want to continue writing because it was too troublesome, but at first glance, that was not the reason."
"So I took a closer look and found out that it was Hu Wenjing who talked to them alone and ordered them not to write any more manuscripts."
Li Mo lit a cigarette, squinted and said:
"They are all adults. This is not a matter of murder and arson. Moreover, they can make money. Are they so obedient?"
"It's not that simple. There are other things involved."
Ou Junxing put his head close to Li Mo and lowered his voice:
"In two weeks, our literary club will jointly organize a reading club with the literary club of the Normal University next door."
"We have forty places here, but there are seventy-five members."
Li Mo heard this and understood:
"Can those who participate get corresponding personal comprehensive points?"
"Well, yes, this score will directly affect subsequent scholarships and the evaluation of some honorary titles, so..."
Li Mo chuckled and took over the words:
"So she's threatening?"
Albert Ou sighed and nodded:
"Although she didn't say it explicitly, that's pretty much what she meant..."
"Okay, since we are all here, let's go up and listen to President Hu's speech."
Li Mo put out his cigarette, turned around and walked into the complex.
It was half past two in the afternoon. As soon as the two of them reached the third floor, they could already hear sounds coming from the literary club not far from the stairs.
"I know that many people in the agency are writing part-time for others recently, which is a good thing."
"But what I want to say is that literature is noble, and words are the most powerful weapon in the world. It should not be vulgar."
"But some of you, just for a meager royalties, write some rubbish stuff for others. This is simply insulting your own talents!"
"Have you forgotten your original intention of joining the literary society? Can you still carry forward Chinese literature in your current profit-seeking state?"
Speaking of this, Hu Wenjing, who was sitting on the high platform, paused, and continued until every member sitting under the stage lowered their heads:
"Okay, I won't say any more. The book club will start in two weeks."
"I hope you can calm down during this period and think carefully about what kind of words you want to share with the vast number of literature lovers."
"From today on, I will select the places. If you continue to work part-time, you will voluntarily give up this opportunity."
"What is sesame and what is watermelon? You can decide for yourself."
Hu Wenjing's series of words reached Li Mo's ears standing outside.
He leaned against the wall, with no intention of going in, and an intriguing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Although Hu Wenjing's words sounded harsh and silly, Li Mo felt that it also gave him an opportunity.
An opportunity to completely lure Ou Junxing to his side.
"Old Ou, did you hear what Hu Wenjing said?"
"I heard."
Ou Junxing nodded, with a bad look on his face:
"Boss, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
"Oh, what to deal with? If the cooperation is terminated, it will be terminated."
Li Mo smiled lightly and said with an indifferent expression:
"Anyway, offline promotion has begun to bear fruit now, and it doesn't make much sense to continue to attract traffic on Tieba."
"Even if Hu Wenjing doesn't terminate our cooperation today, I will be ready to stop after a while."
"Now that she ends it early, it actually saves me money."
Speaking of this, Li Mo patted Ou Junxing on the shoulder:
"But Lao Ou, you don't naively think that Hu Wenjing is just targeting me or these members, right?"
Hearing this, Ou Junxin didn't understand what Li Mo meant and asked:
"How do you say this?"
Li Mo smiled, squinted at Ou Junxing and said:
"In my opinion, when Hu Wenjing did this, besides me, the biggest target was actually you."
