Volume 4 Chapter 24 First Contact
The twenty-seventh floor of the snail.
Golden Point Books.
In the editor-in-chief's office.
In front of the mirror.
Huang Jie is touching up her makeup.
It was raining lightly outside, and she had just returned from an inspection at the bookstore factory opposite the Xizi Bridge. She rarely puts on makeup on weekdays, but this time is different from the past. After all, she is the head of Golden Point Publishing House. She has to look good for her own image, which is a sign of respect for others. She wore very light makeup, but looking like this made her look even more delicate. Although she was considered an older leftover girl now, if we really wanted to compare her, she was not far behind those girls who were eighteen or nineteen years old. She doesn't have the habit of wearing makeup, and she can't help it now, but she still doesn't pay too much attention to it, unlike some women in society who go out with heavy makeup and don't even recognize themselves when they are dressed up.
She quickly touched up her makeup, fiddled with her hair a few times, straightened the collar of her coat, and then returned to her seat to prepare for her new job.
Through this period of observation and understanding, as well as many conversations with Long Zhenzhen, she became more familiar with the world of snails.
Long Zhenzhen told her that the predecessor of the Bookstore Factory and Fuxiang Food Company across the Xizi Bridge was called "Menghe Enterprise", and the predecessor of "Menghe Enterprise" was a prison.
Huang Jie was shocked when he heard it. If Long Zhenzhen hadn't said it himself, who would have connected the world of snails with the prison!
Perhaps in commemoration, Long Zhenzhen also established the "Jinming Literary Foundation" a few years ago. She did not bring all of Shu Ming's works to the market, but this did not affect the development of the foundation and Golden Point Publishing House.
Perhaps, as time goes by, the name Shu Ming or Jin Ming has faded in people's memories, but it will always be an indelible nostalgia in her memory. What's more, some institutions like this are games played by rich people.
After the establishment of the foundation, it has done a lot of practical things, and many authors and readers have benefited from it. As for the things behind it, fewer and fewer people pay attention to and comment on it.
Huang Jie called the three responsible persons to announce the new appointments.
This was a decision she and Long Zhenzhen made after discussion.
Originally, Huang Jie wanted to quit completely. After all, she couldn't do the job of leaving her post to occupy a position. However, Long Zhenzhen disagreed. Unable to withstand her repeated persuasion and pleading, Huang Jie was unable to find a suitable candidate for a while, so Huang Jie had to agree to continue to serve. Editor-in-chief position.
However, this position is just a virtual title now, and she just puts her name on it. After all, the upcoming work will be quite busy, and she will not be able to multitask.
They finally decided to promote the three persons in charge to deputy editor-in-chief, and jointly manage all operations of Golden Point Books. They only need to submit a report to Huang Jie or Long Zhenzhen every month.
As for how the three of them should divide their work, Long Zhenzhen and Huang Jie did not discuss it and did not want to give them too many constraints. They just asked them to negotiate on their own. They only wanted the results and did not care about anything else.
A promotion in position and increased power means an increase in salary. What's more, they all know the chairman's personality. Even though they have only known Huang Jie for a few months, they still have a good impression in their eyes. If you can work and have a career in such a harmonious place, why not?
At Long Zhenzhen's insistence, the editor-in-chief's office remains unchanged, and the offices of the three deputy editors-in-chief are being renovated, which I believe will be implemented soon.
Huang Jie knew Long Zhenzhen's good intentions and didn't say much. After all, I have made a name for myself, and I will come here to sit and relax if I have the opportunity in the future, just to lighten my mood.
After sending the three people away, Huang Jie stayed for a while before locking the door.
She walked slowly, and colleagues greeted her from time to time.
She looked at those busy figures and saw how passionate they were about this job, and she couldn't help but think of her former self. Wasn't she the same as them? She never looked down on anyone, and she always felt that she was just luckier than them. Maybe it wouldn't be long before the best among them stood out.
hope so! The most indispensable thing in this society is talents.
She looked around again, and finally left reluctantly, which was considered a temporary farewell!
Although those people felt that she seemed a little different from usual today, they didn't say much.
The company's decision would be announced later at a meeting organized by the three newly appointed deputy editors. Huang Jie also told them that she would not participate and that everything would be arranged by them.
After that, she came to the door of the chairman's office and saw Tingting playing with her mobile phone with her head down, so she quietly walked behind her, put her hand gently on her shoulder, suppressed a smile, and looked at her with evil eyes. Flutteringly.
Tingting was really frightened and jumped up. When she turned around and saw it was her, she pretended to be angry and said, "Are you going to scare me to death?"
Huang Jie smiled and asked, "Is the chairman here?"
Tingting replied: "She went out for something, please tell me to tell you to go up by yourself."
Huang Jie said: "Oh, I'll leave first, bye."
As soon as Tingting saw that she was about to leave, she quickly grabbed her and said, "Don't worry, chat with me for a while first."
Huang Jie asked: "Aren't you busy?"
Tingting said: "If I'm not busy, I'm almost bored to death."
Yes, with such a careless boss at the stall, things are indeed a little less busy. She usually helps answer phone calls and transfer documents, and sometimes arranges appointments.
In fact, no matter how indifferent Long Zhenzhen is, there are still many things to do in such a large company. However, Tingting is more efficient in doing things. She can arrange many things in advance before being asked, and she is also very comfortable in doing things.
In Long Zhenzhen's heart, she really helped him a lot.
Huang Jie couldn't refuse, so he had to stay with her for a while.
I don't know how Tingting has such interesting things to say. If Huang Jie wasn't afraid of wasting too much time, she would keep talking. In the end, she really didn't have the nerve to take up her time anymore, so Tingting let her go without saying anything.
Long Zhenzhen had already handed the key to Huang Jie early in the morning, and she went to the top floor of the iconic building in Snail World alone.
When I opened the door and went in, I immediately felt a light fragrance filling the air.
The furnishings in the house were simple, with the exception of a table and a chair, and a cabinet full of manuscript papers. Other than that, there were almost no extra furnishings.
According to Long Zhenzhen, no one has lived here for several years, but in Huang Jie's eyes, the windows are still bright and clean, and in such an important place, no one else except Long Zhenzhen should be able to come here. It seems that She kept the place meticulously organized. Therefore, it can be seen that her relationship with the owner of this place is unusual. As a dignified chairman, she still finds time to come here. The mystery involved is naturally a bit strange.
Huang Jie took out a thick stack of manuscripts from the cabinet and began to read them.
There are poems in those manuscripts, but also fragmentary chapters.
None of this is the focus of her work.
She only looked at it for a moment and put it aside.
She took out a dozen booklets like notepads from the bottom drawer, and then slowly
looked up.
Some places are densely written, but some places are completely blank. The content is like writing a diary, recording some people and things.
Hours passed by in a flash.
At noon, she and Tingting went to the staff canteen to eat together, and the little girl couldn't help but croak. But Huang Jie's mind was still immersed in those manuscripts. She couldn't recall what Tingting said to her. She only remembered that many people around her were looking at the two of them.
Tingting didn't care whether other people's opinions were good or evil, so she just chatted with Huang Jie while eating.
After lunch, Huang Jie returned to the top floor to continue her work and stayed there until nightfall.
After several days of hard work, she became more familiar with the origins of the world of snails. What she didn't expect was that the relationship between Long Zhenzhen and the master here was so deep.
That afternoon, she went to see Long Zhenzhen and asked for her opinion.
When asked whether to use her real name, Long Zhenzhen smiled and asked her to write based on the facts, because it was her real experience, and there was nothing to hide or escape. She also told her that when she completed the creation, the book would be published soon. It won't appear in front of any readers for a long time, except for them.
Huang Jie was also relieved, she didn't want to be famous.
She was particularly concerned about Long Zhenzhen's plot. According to the manuscript, she speculated in her heart that Xiaowen might not be the biological daughter of her husband Lin Dingping. Her biological father might be the owner of this place. However, this was the secret in her heart. She didn't say it out loud, and Zhenzhen didn't tell her either.
Over the past few days, she also went to Tong's Enterprise several times, called to visit Tong Yu. In fact, she knew it well and just wanted to meet Lei Liang. Later, when she saw Tong Yu's intention to invest in the world of snails, the whole The company was extremely busy, and she couldn't find an excuse for herself to go to Lei Liang, so she continued to concentrate on creating.
In Tong Yu's office.
He is listening to the assistant's work report.
"Mr. Tong, Mr. Xu just called and said that Tianluo World has agreed to increase its equity by two points."
"Okay, I get it."
After the assistant left, Tong Yu threw the documents in his hand on the table, feeling very unhappy.
After preliminary negotiations with Tianluo, Tianluo initially only agreed to transfer 3% of its shares, which was far from Tong's acquisition of 10% of its shares. Then, Tong Yu instructed the relevant personnel to pull in Xu Mingfeng, general manager of Tianluo, and put a lot of thought into it. But now, he still has not reached his expected goal.
Tong Yu still knew something about Xu Mingfeng. He knew that he had given himself a lot of face by putting so much thought into it. If possible, Tong Yu wouldn't care no matter how much he paid, but he knew that there was no point in doing such a thing anymore.
He was irritable and paced back and forth in the office.
"Look at this mess, how could I forget her?"
Suddenly, a pretty figure appeared in Tong Yu's mind.
He immediately picked up the phone and dialed Huang Jie's number.
He knew that her words were more powerful than their hard work for several days.
"Xiaojie, can you do one more favor for uncle?"
In the coffee shop, Tong Yu handed a bulging envelope into Huang Jie's hand.
When Huang Jie opened it and took a look, his face suddenly turned cold and he said, "Uncle Tong, who do you think Xiao Jie is?"
】
Tong Yu hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, it's uncle who is being petty. Uncle apologizes to you."
When Huang Jie agreed to help and pushed back the envelope, the willful Tong Yu said nothing more.
