The purpose of this is, firstly, to limit the flow of customers, and secondly, to improve the grade of the entire tea garden, its status in the minds of guests, and its influence!
But even so, when Tingtao Tea Garden opened for business on the first day, it was full every day. To have a tea party with friends, you need to make a reservation a week in advance!
When Tang Yingxu learned that her teacher, the former editor-in-chief of the Great Wall Children's Literature and Art Publishing House who taught her various editing skills step by step, invited her to have tea at Tingtao Tea Garden, she was slightly shocked in her heart. !
Although he was not qualified to come here to drink tea, Tang Yingxu had naturally heard about Tingtao Tea Garden! It was basically a place where the rich and powerful gathered!
Unexpectedly, less than a year after leaving Great Wall Publishing House, this teacher has reached such a net worth?!
When the two of them sat down, Guo Qixiong, the current president of the Changjiang Children's Literature and Art Publishing House and the culprit who almost took time out of the editorial department of the Great Wall Children's Literature and Art Publishing House, smiled and said to Tang Yingxu: "Are you surprised that I can bring you here? "
Obviously, Guo Qixiong saw the doubts in Tang Yingxu's heart and said with a smile: "As a wage earner, I naturally don't have this qualification. It's just that the chairman heard that I was coming to Huadu this time, so he borrowed the membership card here. Gave it to me."
According to the rules of Tingtao Tea Garden, the card is recognized but not the person. No matter who comes with the card, they will receive the most dedicated service. And each card can bring in three additional companions. A table of four people is considered standard for drinking tea and chatting. After ordering a pot of tea, Guo Qixiong chatted with Tang Yingxu.
When the waiter put the teapot in place, Guo Qixiong waved his hand to persuade him to leave: "Come, drink tea. The tea here is said to come from the Royal Tea Forest. It tastes very good and cannot be drunk outside.
"Thank you." Tang Yingxu responded, holding up the tea cup in the same manner, bringing it to his nose and smelling it, then took a small sip, and suddenly felt the aroma of tea filling his mouth.
After taking a sip of tea, Tang Yingxu's eyes lit up: "It smells so good! What a tea!"
"Haha~" Guo Qixiong smiled softly and took a sip. In this way, the two of them chatted about everything while sipping tea.
After waiting for half an hour, Tang Yingxu finally couldn't help it and asked: "Teacher, if you asked me to come out this time, there must be something wrong!"
Hearing Tang Yingxu put the problem straight to the point, Guo Qixiong paused, slowly put down the tea cup, smiled and said: "I heard that you have left the Great Wall?"
"Yeah." Tang Yingxu bit her lip gently and nodded.
The news that he left Great Wall Publishing House has spread throughout the publishing world in recent days. Guo Qixiong naturally has no reason to be unclear! Moreover, in fact, Tang Yingxu also understands the reason why Guo Qixiong came to find him!
"Were you forced by them?" Guo Qixiong said lightly. Although it was a question, his words were full of certainty!
Tang Yingxu nodded, then shook his head: "Half and half!"
"Haha," Guo Qixiong smiled softly and said, "I told you at the beginning that the leadership of the Great Wall is rigid and corrupt, full of utilitarianism and snobbery! We can only share weal and woe with them, not wealth! It's a pity that you insisted on it at the beginning. Stay at the publishing house and refuse to come with me, otherwise, this kind of thing wouldn’t happen.”
Tang Yingxu lowered her head and listened to Guo Qixiong's words silently. Then she suddenly raised her head and asked Guo Qixiong: "Teacher, is this the reason why you chose to leave the Great Wall in the first place?"
"Half and half!" Guo Qixiong copied Tang Yingxu's words and said with a smile, "The Great Wall Group will only follow the old ways and stick to the rules, but they are extremely greedy! They don't understand what literature is at all, but they like to treat you. Pointing fingers and pointing fingers, there, all I feel is restraint and shackles!”
Guo Qixiong looked a little excited: "But Changjiang Media is different. The chairman of Changjiang Media has a background in business operations. He is well versed in business operations, and he also instilled business operations in literature, and thus the Changjiang Publishing Group was born! Here , I have the greatest freedom to express my ideas and creations as much as I want, so when the chairman of Changjiang Media approached me, I only thought about it for three seconds and agreed!"
"Xiao Xu!" Guo Qixiong looked at Tang Yingxu with a trace of expectation in his eyes, "You are a smart girl. In fact, you should have guessed the reason why I came to you this time, right? What do you think? Do you want to come back? By my side? Together we can create a new future!”
As he spoke, Guo Qixiong slowly moved his hand forward, trying to grab Tang Yingxu's tender white hand. However, before Guo Qixiong could get closer, Tang Yingxu immediately put her hand under the table: "I'm sorry, Teacher Guo, I have a boyfriend!"
"Huh?" Guo Qixiong was stunned, with a trace of embarrassment flashing across his face. He slowly retracted his outstretched hand, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, "Ahem, I'm sorry, congratulations! Next time I have a chance, Bring your boyfriend out with you! The teacher will keep a close eye on you!"
"Okay!" Ye Ming's figure flashed across Tang Yingxu's mind, and a bright and happy smile appeared on his face!
Looking at Tang Yingxu's bright and happy smile, a shadow flashed across Guo Qixiong's eyes.
"Teacher, I understand what you mean," Tang Yingxu stretched out her fingers, gently tucked a strand of slender hair behind her ear, and said softly, "but after such two changes, I really feel so tired! "
"I have thought about it carefully during the past few days of resting at home," Tang Yingxu pursed her lips, with a look of determination on her face, "Instead of working hard to make wedding clothes for others, it would be better for me to do it myself. !”
"Huh?" Hearing Tang Yingxu's words, Guo Qixiong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He never thought in his dreams that the girl he led out by hand would have such great courage and determination!
"Do you want to be a publisher?" Guo Qixiong couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and said, "Do you know how difficult it will be~?"
"Let's not talk about anything else." Guo Qixiong smiled and shook his head and said: "In today's literary market, it is so difficult to find a good work and a good author. And there are so many powerful publishing houses. The author must have chosen those strong publishing houses at the first time, so how could he find you, a small company that has just been established and has no qualifications at all? What's more, even if you are lucky and you meet a strong publishing house, The newcomer, do you think you can hold on?"
Of course, what Guo Qixiong said is not alarmist.
In fact, in the literary publishing industry, high-quality authors and works are almost monopolized by large media groups, and the remaining small and medium-sized publishing houses or media companies can only try their luck to discover new talents!
However, once new people come up, those media giants will come directly to spend money to poach people. Those small and medium-sized companies are simply unable to fight and can only watch the new people who have worked hard to dig and train are poached!
Compared with the entertainment industry, the competitive environment in the literary publishing industry is even worse!
However, to Guo Qixiong's surprise, Tang Yingxu didn't have any intention to refute his words. He just took a sip of tea without saying a word!
Seeing Tang Yingxu's indifferent expression, Guo Qixiong's heart suddenly moved and he suddenly thought of something!
"Xiao Xu, did you choose to start your own media company because you have found high-quality author resources?" Guo Qixiong stared at Tang Yingxu and said, "I heard rumors in the circle that Ye Zhiming's identity is Is it true that you are the only one who knows?"
Facing Guo Qixiong's question, Tang Yingxu suddenly smiled brightly: "Teacher, isn't that why you came to me?"
"Uh..." After Tang Yingxu revealed his ultimate goal, Guo Qixiong couldn't help but blush. He took a sip of tea to cover up his inner embarrassment, and then said, "This is just one of the goals. You know, I really appreciate you."
"Well," Tang Yingxu smiled and said, "But as you said, it is indeed difficult to find powerful authors, but once found, just one can be enough to support a company, right?"
