The next day.
Lin Xuan drove to the company, swiped the elevator with the deputy editor-in-chief's work ID, and entered the newly formed fairy tale department of Silver Blue Book Library.
Within the department.
Many employees were surrounding a long-haired beauty and praising her:
"Editor Shui, how did you get the manuscript from Teacher Yuanyuan?"
"Teacher Yuanyuan's manuscripts are the most difficult to get a commission from among all the fairy tale writers."
"I heard that the general manager of Dingsheng Publishing House personally stepped in to discuss the manuscript with Teacher Yuanyuan last time."
"That's normal. Teacher Yuanyuan's "The Three Little Pigs" is the childhood of many people."
"Even today, The Three Little Pigs is still very popular among children, which also establishes Teacher Yuanyuan's position as a leader in the fairy tale world."
"Editor Shui is so beautiful, it will be easy for her to get commissions."
"With Teacher Yuanyuan's long fairy tale, Deputy Editor Shui should be the only candidate for editor-in-chief in the future."
"… "
The long-haired woman surrounded by people was smiling. Suddenly she saw Lin Xuan and greeted her:
"Good morning, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Lin."
The employees in the department turned around and saw Lin Xuan. They were slightly stunned, and then they all smiled and greeted her.
"Good morning, Deputy Editor Shui."
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "It's early, everyone. It's almost time to go home and get ready for work."
Everyone returned to their seats.
Instead, the long-haired woman known as Deputy Editor-in-Chief Shui walked up to Lin Xuan and said with a smile, "Did Deputy Editor-in-Chief Lin get a suitable manuscript?"
"There's still one article left."
Lin Xuan said a little depressed.
The long-haired woman lifted her hair and said, "The magazine will be published before the end of the year. Time is running out. If there is no suitable manuscript, please let me take the last page of Deputy Editor-in-Chief Lin. I will ask for an extra manuscript. This is also for the good of our magazine."
"no problem."
Lin Xuan nodded.
The long-haired woman shrugged and turned away.
"Editor-in-Chief..."
A bald man approached cautiously and said, "Teacher Qiqi just rejected our request for an article. It is said that it is because Zhang Yang has already made an appointment with her for an article."
The bald guy is called Zhang Cheng. He was the editor-in-chief of Lin Xuan’s previous magazine and now works as Lin Xuan’s assistant.
"Reject again?"
Lin Xuan had a headache: "How come Zhang Yang knows so many fairy tale writers just like Shui Zhurou?"
Shui Zhurou is the long-haired woman just now.
She, Lin Xuan and Zhang Yang are the three deputy editors-in-chief of the fairy tale department.
There is a clear competitive relationship between the three.
Zhang Cheng smiled bitterly, "The elders in the families of Deputy Editor-in-Chief Shuizhurou and Zhang Cheng are both leaders of the magazine. It is normal for them to have such a relationship. They can certainly think of all the fairy tale writers you can think of. They asked people to write manuscripts in advance just to get ahead of us."
"There's nothing I can do."
Lin Xuan cheered up and said, "Isn't there a submission in the mailbox? Let's go and dig for gold. We have to hurry up, otherwise my last page will really be handed over to Shui Zhurou or Zhang Yang."
“Gold Digging…”
Zhang Cheng was helpless, but he also knew that this was the only solution.
The fairy tale department was just starting out and was planning to make a fairy tale magazine first. The magazine needed to publish some fairy tales, and each deputy editor-in-chief would be responsible for two or three stories.
As performance is concerned, the other two deputy editors-in-chief have invited manuscripts from famous fairy tale writers.
Only Lin Xuan has arranged to tell only one fairy tale story so far.
Moreover, the other party is not a big-name fairy tale writer, and his fame is just average.
Even so, the second article is still nowhere to be found.
Lin Xuan could only look through the submissions from new writers to see if there were any suitable stories.
Lin Xuan has her own email address, and it is open to the public.
With the recent call for fairy tales, she received quite a few manuscripts.
However, the submissions for the children's painting collection were mostly from newcomers. Lin Xuan searched through her mailbox for a long time but couldn't find a story that suited her taste.
"Old Zhang."
She rubbed her hair in annoyance and called Zhang Cheng: "Is there any editor who would like to recommend any manuscripts?"
"Yes, yes..."
Zhang Cheng said in embarrassment: "But I basically reviewed it, and the quality is quite average. In addition, the public pool manuscripts in the company's mailbox are not counted as our performance."
"We can't just consider individual performance."
Lin Xuan waved her hand and said, "Alright, I'll look for it again. I still have some manuscripts to read."
"good."
After Zhang Cheng left, Lin Xuan continued to read the manuscript.
Half an hour later.
Lin Xuan sighed.
The manuscripts have all been reviewed.
She never encountered a good fairy tale after all.
It seems that I have to give the space to the other two deputy editors-in-chief.
At the same time Lin Xuan was extremely annoyed.
In the office next door.
Shui Zhurou's assistant was smiling and said, "I just got the news that Zhang Yang has made an appointment with Teacher Qiqi for a manuscript. Originally, Lin Xuan also wanted to make an appointment with Teacher Qiqi for a manuscript, but she got there first."
“As expected.”
Shui Zhurou said calmly: "Teacher Qiqi and Zhang Yang's mother are good friends. I can't even get Teacher Qiqi's manuscript, let alone Lin Xuan."
"But you got Teacher Yuanyuan's manuscript. Teacher Yuanyuan is much better than Teacher Qiqi."
The assistant flattered.
Shui Zhurou shook her head: "Teacher Qiqi's manuscript is a long one and cannot be published yet. The big move has to be saved for later. We will use Teacher Jinshan's manuscript this time and arrange the short stories needed by the magazine. Fortunately, Teacher Jinshan's level is not bad, and is slightly better than Teacher Qiqi's."
“That’s true.”
The assistant shook his head and said, "I think Lin Xuan is going to be at a loss right now. The deadline is almost up. If she can't get a manuscript, she can only give the space to you or Zhang Yang."
"You will definitely give me the layout."
Shui Zhurou said confidently: "At least I didn't do anything to her. Zhang Yang did cut off her escape route. She will understand this."
"high!"
The assistant gave a thumbs up: "But if I remember correctly, it was you who told Zhang Yang that Lin Xuan was planning to ask Teacher Qiqi for an article. Originally, Zhang Yang didn't plan to ask Teacher Qiqi first..."
Shui Zhurou said casually: "All is fair in war."
After saying this, Shui Zhurou's expression suddenly became serious:
"Don't go out and talk nonsense about this. I don't know what Lin Xuan's background is, but she was parachuted into a key department as soon as she joined our company. The people behind her should be no ordinary people. It's just that the people behind her didn't seem to help her this time, or maybe they couldn't help much."
"That's natural."
The assistant nodded quickly. Lin Xuan must be from some important background, but few people in the company knew the truth.
Some people did try to test it, but Lin Xuan kept her mouth shut and insisted that she had no background.
Who believes it
You have no background, so why is the editor-in-chief so caring towards you
You have no background, but you were sent to a key department to gain experience as soon as you arrived at the company, and then you became the deputy editor-in-chief of the fairy tale department
You know.
The Fairy Tale Department is a concentration camp specially set up by the company for customers with connections!
Whether it is Zhang Yang or Shui Zhurou, there are big shots behind them.
For example, Shui Zhurou’s father is a director of the Silver Blue Library.
Zhang Yang's mother is a very influential figure in the book industry.
"I'm also curious about her background..."
Shuizhurou narrowed her eyes slightly.
She asked her father, who is a director, but he did not reveal anything. He just reminded her not to offend others too much.
Just normal competition.
Just then, there was a sudden noise outside the door.
The assistant stuck his head out to take a look and said quickly, "Editor-in-chief, we have to go out and greet him. Editor-in-chief Cao Dezhi is here."
"Cao Dezhi?"
Shui Zhurou was stunned: "What is he doing here?"
Cao Dezhi is the editor-in-chief of the reasoning department. It was nothing serious before, so it didn’t matter if Shui Zhurou didn’t go out to greet him.
But not this year.
This year, Cao Dezhi is definitely a celebrity in the company!
The reason is simple.
It was nothing more than Cao Dezhi clinging to the thigh of Chu Kuang.
With the release of a series of mystery novels by Chu Kuang, the mystery department that was on the verge of collapse was directly revitalized. Now Chu Kuang's mystery is still being serialized, and the performance of the mystery department can be said to be booming!
Some even say that Cao Dezhi might go further because of this.
Even if you are the second generation of a company like Shui Zhurou, you still have to maintain a certain level of respect for others.
Thinking of this, Shui Zhurou pushed the door and walked out.
at the same time.
Zhang Yang, with a slicked-back hair and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, also came out.
"Editor-in-Chief Cao."
Shuizhurou smiled and greeted.
Zhang Yang was curious: "What brings you here?"
"I was entrusted by someone."
Cao Dezhi greeted with a smile.
At this time, Lin Xuan also walked out of the office, apparently having learned the news that Cao Dezhi was coming.
"Editor-in-Chief Lin!"
Cao Dezhi's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward and said, "Hello, hello, someone asked me to deliver something to you!"
"What?"
Lin Xuan was a little dazed.
The water drops next to them looked at each other softly and loudly, both with stunned expressions.
It seems that Cao Dezhi's enthusiasm for Lin Xuan is much greater than that for the two of them, right
"Manuscript!"
Cao Dezhi smiled and said, "A fairy tale manuscript!"
Lin Xuan felt even more confused, even though she had been encountering this kind of confusing things since she joined the company:
"Whose?"
"Chu Kuang!"
Cao Dezhi said it very loudly, as if this name could bring honor to him. Of course, this name did bring honor to him.
"What!"
The manuscript sent by Chu Kuang
Shuizhu's gentle and flamboyant expression suddenly changed.
Lin Xuan was stunned: "Chu Kuang's manuscript?"
Cao Dezhi quickly explained: "You also know that Mr. Chu Kuang is interested in creating all kinds of stories. He just happened to write a fairy tale manuscript recently, and he specifically asked me to hand the manuscript to you."
"… "
Lin Xuan was a little slow to react.
Zhang Yang at the back couldn't help but raise his voice: "Teacher Chu Kuang can write fairy tales?"
Shui Zhurou also murmured: "Chu Kuang's... fairy tale?"
"I will send the manuscript to your email now."
Cao Dezhi said with a smile, took out his mobile phone and started operating it.
Zhang Yang and Shui Zhurou were immediately confused.
If you can send emails, why do you come here specially
Cao Dezhi obviously felt a little embarrassed and coughed: "I feel more at ease if you send it to me in person, in case you forget to read it."
"oh… "
Lin Xuan agreed in a daze, and suddenly remembered something:
It seems that my brother and Chu Kuang are good friends
Chu Kuang is helping me so much, could it be that his younger brother is helping him
Damn it!
It turns out that my mother’s backstage is…
Chu Kuang!!!!!
