When Chu Li arrived at the printing factory, he almost jumped out of the car and ran all the way into the printing factory before the door could be closed—Hiu Chuan watched her walk like flying in high heels, watched her jump up the stairs like a rabbit, looked at her Going away, I could only yell weakly, "Slow down and don't fall"... As soon as the words fell, she saw her ankle sprained, took off her high heels decisively, and ran with the high heels without any hesitation.
Hiukawa: "..."
The man shook his head, sat back in the car resolutely, closed the door, and parked his car in the parking lot... Then he went upstairs and was about to send a text message to ask where Chu Li was, but he couldn't leave in the corridor of the printing office Nearly, I heard Chu Li's unbelievable roar from the end of the corridor: "What?! You told me that after you changed the girdle, you directly used the first edition of the distribution slip as the third edition?!"
Hiukawa paused, stopped at the door of a certain office, poked his head in, and saw Chuli wearing high heels on one foot, and the other foot hooked like a red-crowned crane. Before she had time to put on the half-worn shoe, she With his hands propped on the desk, his eyes widened bigger than copper bells, he was waiting for a child in his twenties...
It seemed that he wanted to take off the high heels that were not worn again and hit him on the head.
"I gave you two covers, have you ever thought about what the second version is for? Have you ever been on a certain treasure? Have you ever thought about what it means—my promotional picture There is a question mark on the cover of the online pre-sale exclusive book, and the appearance is not announced. What does the online bookstore online pre-sale look like? If you don’t know how to distribute the regular edition as a special edition, you don’t know the network channels and The channels of physical booksellers are the same, so there must be something wrong with the book?!"
Chu Li was out of breath.
Seeing Comrade Xiao Wang's confused face, she raised her hand—
"Okay, let me even if you really made a mistake in sending the print sheet, what about the book? Because there was no proofing in advance, the contract stipulated that the sample book should be sent to the editorial department three days in advance, why didn't you send it? It was also clearly written in the contract Both covers must be sample books, I also called to remind you, didn't you react when I called... "
"You called, but you didn't come to see the printing factory." Xiao Wang's face was pale, as if he knew that his series of mistakes had created a catastrophe...
"I come to the printing factory every day to keep an eye on it?! Don't make other books?! Then what is the contract for? It says that if I don't come to the printing factory every day to follow the printing, I will bear all the consequences?!" Chu Li" "Pa" clapped his hands on the desk, the movement seemed to smash the desk, "I didn't say it! However, the contract said that you should distribute the sample book——"Luohe Shenshu" is more complicated than that I didn't come to follow Yin every day! Why is there no problem with "Luohe Divine Book"!"
"I came off the assembly line, and I'm not familiar with the business..."
"So I tell you to take your time and ask me if you don't understand. Did you ask? A document as big as the cover of the second edition is placed there. If you don't even ask, I will be judged as scrapped..."
Chu Li was so angry that blood rushed to his forehead.
I took out my phone and looked at—
Thirty minutes have passed since the first reader sent a message to raise doubts. In the past 30 minutes, dozens of people have found that the online version and the physical bookstore version are exactly the same...
Regardless of the fact that there are only a few dozen at present, this is actually a very scary number.
If you don’t give your gift immediately, those people who received the book that day in the same city can gather and blow up the entire "Moonlight" official blog in less than the afternoon off work time... And then, they will go to the author’s Weibo to make a fuss , the author will definitely ask Yuanyue Society to give an explanation.
Chu Li realized that she no longer had time to talk to Xiao Wang anymore. Anyway, the contract was there, and the one who failed to do it was the printing factory, and now she should not continue to entangle with him here. The question of who is wrong...
—Since something happened, the top priority is to stop the loss in time. It is meaningless to argue who is right and who is wrong.
At least that's what Chu Li thought at the moment.
Three minutes later.
In the end, Xiao Wang felt that he was rescued by a tall man dressed in black who suddenly came in from outside the door—the man walked in, and he propped himself on the table with a first hug that could swallow him alive. Get up and put it on the table, then bend down to put the high heels on her feet before she could react...
At this time, this tall, handsome, cold-faced man was comparable to a mask in a tuxedo in the eyes of Comrade Xiao Wang.
At this time, Chu Li was fascinated by the big hand holding her ankle.
"If there is any problem, go back to Yuanyue Society first, and quickly notify the marketing department to stop the delivery of online booksellers who have not shipped, and start preparing compensation measures."
The man supported her with one hand, lowered his eyes and bent down to carefully put the shoes on for her.
And when Chu Li jumped off the table holding Zhou Chuan's hand, he could feel her palms were cold, covered in cold sweat and trembling slightly... The man paused for a while and didn't say anything, only found out when he helped her go out. She walked with a limp, and looked at her feet, only to realize that the foot that had been put on the shoes before was swollen and high, probably because she really sprained it just now.
Sighing, he walked up to her in two or three steps and squatted down. This time, Chu Li obediently lay on his back without saying a word, and her lips touched his soft hair, and she rubbed against it, as if this Then he said as if he came back to his senses: "... I just told Ah Xiang before that it is not a good thing for readers to know the existence of an editor.
"..."
"Tell me," Chu Li whispered on his shoulder, "Do you think I'm a crow's mouth?"
"Well," Hiukawa said helplessly, "That's a crow's mouth."
"Hikawa."
"Um."
The hug around his neck tightened slightly, and the person lying on his neck breathed warm and humid air on his neck.
"My feet hurt."
The man walked steadily, and walked outside the printing factory. When the two walked out of the printing factory gate, the man said lightly: "Don't be afraid."
Specifically what "don't be afraid" is, I don't know about Chuli... She just changed her appearance of a man-eating monster in front of Comrade Xiao Wang, and she was as docile as a tamed puppy, lying on her stomach On the man's back, she buried her face deeply into the man's neck, clearly wanting to tremble with fear at the thought of the questions that have appeared and will appear on Weibo, but this time...
For the first time, she didn't cry.
…
Back at Yuanyue Club, Chuli got out of the car, the man watched her limping away, and followed her out of the car almost uncontrollably, after only two steps, Chuli seemed to feel something suddenly Turning around... Looking back at the man who looked like he was about to follow, he was taken aback for a moment, then raised his hand and waved at him, then smiled reluctantly.
Hiukawa wanted to say that laughing was uglier than crying.
But he obediently returned to the car, and when he received a text message, Chu Li asked him to go back first, but he didn't move, just replied——
[Hikawa: Getting back in the car is already the biggest concession, don't push further.]
[Hikawa: Let's go.]
[Hikawa: Waiting for you here.]
Chu Li stood there, staring at the phone for a while, then put away the phone and continued to walk into the editorial department like a disabled person. When she finally moved to the entrance of the editorial department, she realized that the entire editorial department had been bombed. open the pot...
The expressions on everyone's faces are ugly and each has its own merits, especially Yu Yao, who said in such a strong tone for the first time while holding a mobile phone, "You must find the printing factory to help solve this matter of the printing factory's breach of contract"... As for this moment, the official Weibo What happened to the comments below the blog, Chu Li didn't dare to read it at all.
The marketing department and the editorial department took the bosses of various departments directly to the conference room for a meeting. According to a wave of preliminary statistics, most of the online pre-sales have been shipped, and all those that have not yet been shipped or shipped out have been recalled urgently. But even so, about 8,000 copies are already on their way to book buyers.
Eight thousand copies.
"Reprint the book cover, and then reissue it to readers." Chu Li sat at the table, "The printing company broke the contract first, how much can it charge for reprinting an 8,000 book cover, isn't the most urgent thing right now is to come up with a plan to appease the readers? "
"The printed book cover is not expensive, what about the postage?" Liang Surf glanced at Chu Li, "The postage costs eight to ten yuan, counting as eight yuan, and the postage for 8,000 copies is more than 60,000 yuan, plus the money for printing the book cover, less It is said that 100,000 went out, and you let the printing factory bear the money?"
"What if you don't bear it?" Chu Li raised his eyebrows, "What about the readers?"
"?" Liang Surf didn't speak, Chu Li raised his eyebrows even higher.
"This is the only printing factory in G city among the top three printing factories in China. It has been cooperating with our Yuanyue Society for many years and has never made any mistakes." Lao Miao took up the topic in a timely manner, "Next we have cos We need to cooperate with them for photo albums and various full-color art albums—these things have high requirements on printing technology. Considering the maturity of printing technology and process and the degree of cooperation, these must be done in this printing factory. If something goes wrong, it is inevitable that they will continue to take our orders and will continue to cooperate... "
Chu Li: "But they are the ones who made mistakes, and they are also the ones who broke the contract."
"They are also the ones who can't afford the compensation." Liang Surf interrupted Chuli lightly, "Everyone knows that this year's entity is more miserable than last year. At the beginning of the year, the printing factory just left a large number of old employees who were not able to accept them. The printing factory is afraid that it will suffer severely."
"What's the matter with being heavy? I'm worried about being reworked. Be more serious... No, you are helping the printing factory?" Chu Li couldn't believe his ears, "No compensation? What about the readers?"
"After the compensation from the printing factory, it will be difficult for us to cooperate again. It's so ugly, and they still take our orders," a horse boy from the marketing department jumped out and interjected, "Where will the book be printed then? Go to the next city to find another printing company." Factory cooperation, how many projects in hand have to be shut down, and how to calculate the shipping cost after the book is printed-do you know how much this loss is?"
Liang Surf smiled and glanced at his pony boy and said, "Little Ma is right, we have to take a long-term view."
"Oh," Lao Miao said in a peaceful tone when he came out, "No one wants to see this kind of thing happen. Chu Li, you should be more careful and go to the printing factory twice so that this kind of thing won't happen .”
The topic suddenly turned to Chu Li.
Standing by the table, Chu Li glanced over Lao Miao and Liang Surf one by one, and was not surprised to see that the expressions on their faces were very similar...
—The two are wearing a pair of trousers.
Chu Li became more and more expressionless.
"This kind of thing, it's best to make big things into small things, and small things into nothing," Lao Miao said. "Readers don't seem to be so difficult these days. They are so angry at the moment, and they just want January Let me give you an explanation."
"Yes, yes, just give me an explanation. You don't need to spend a penny, just apologize." Liang Surf said, "Everyone can continue to cooperate without spending money, why not do it?"
Yu Yao, editor-in-chief Xia and Chu Li frowned at the same time.
Yu Yao: "What do you mean, the printing factory will not take the blame for this kind of thing, and is going to ask someone to apologize and solve it? Who will? The author?"
Editor-in-Chief Xia: "Just because the sales volume is not too big, so you don't pay a penny, so you just pretend to be dead? You do this book..."
"...you are just perfunctory readers like this?" Chu Li asked more directly, "What crime did readers do to buy books?"
"Don't be so full of words," Lao Miao looked directly at Chu Li, "You can't say that you are not responsible for this matter, editor in charge, editor in charge, editor in charge, if you can go to the printing a little bit, hurry up, as for sending the printing slips in the wrong order don’t you know?”
Chu Li choked.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, I'm partly responsible for this—"
Yu Yao kicked her hard from below.
She was stunned for a moment, and before she could say "but", she saw Lao Miao and Liang Surfing looking at each other in the next second, then Liang Surfing nodded, and said with the same smile: "Well, the responsible editor is to take responsibility. , I think you just apologize, and this matter is over. Readers are forgetful, and they will forget it after two days of anger... You just sacrifice and sacrifice. It can be resolved peacefully."
When Chu Li heard the words, "I'll let you fart" came to his lips, he glanced at Editor-in-Chief Xia's hesitant expression, and swallowed the words back to his mouth.
— She suddenly understood something.
Regardless of whether Lao Miao and Liang Surf wore a pair of trousers in the past, at least now, the two of them have teamed up. This accident is a godsend opportunity for them. Neither the Yuanyue Society nor the Yuanyue Society can suffer losses, and the losses must be minimized", and they wantonly played...
No matter what, I want to kill her—
Just because she is so unpleasant
"It's impossible for me to carry this pot." Chu Li supported the table with one hand to make himself stand still, straightened his waist, and tried his best to not look so weak by enduring the pain in his ankle. "Think about it for yourself." It’s unreasonable, the person who really made a mistake shrinks back and keeps silent, and pushes the editor out to block the gun, I don’t agree!”
After Chu Li's words came out, the whole conference room fell silent, Ah Xiang's eyes turned red; Xiaoniao covered half of his face with a folder, his eyes widened; Yu Yao also frowned and looked at Editor-in-Chief Xia.
Editor-in-chief Xia said: "What Chu Li said was not done, we have to discuss this matter again, don't rush to draw a conclusion."
Liang Surf: "Not in a hurry? Can you ask the readers if they are in a hurry?"
Yu Yao: "Liang Surf, have you gone too far?! How did you talk to Teacher Xia?"
Liang Surf glanced at Yu Yao and stopped talking. Lao Miao came out with a smile and said, "Oh, Lao Liang is also telling the truth, I think readers really can't wait for another hour... You guys continue to struggle, and things will damage the reputation of Yuanyue Club if things get serious. It’s not easy to explain to the boss.”
…
After the meeting.
Chu Li himself didn't know how he got back into the car, opened the door and got in the car, the man leaned over to fasten the seat belt for her without saying a word, Chu Li was still sitting on the car like a wooden sculpture .
Turning on the phone, ignoring the overwhelming demands for an explanation on the official Weibo, Chu Li numbly swiped through the Weibo, and then found a series of posts, all of which were posted by Suo Heng—
[Suo Heng: We already know about the delivery error of the pre-sale version of the online version, and have notified Yuanyue Club.]
[Suo Heng: Please be safe and calm, I believe that the Yuanyue society will give you a good solution.]
[Suo Heng: I'm also waiting for the result, please don't worry.]
[Suo Heng: ... I'm sorry.]
[Suo Heng: Why don't you return the goods?]
The fingers hovering on the phone screen paused.
Chuli clicked on Suo Heng's Weibo and took a look—
In the past daily microblogs, there were probably 20 or 30 replies at most, sometimes zero retweets, and single-digit comments were also very common; but today there are five consecutive Weibo posts, each with hundreds of retweets and comments. Click to see, all of them-
Too disappointed;
I sincerely hope that you can come back and support the double-accepted version, but this kind of thing happened;
so tired;
I hope you can give fans an explanation;
Five-year old fan, received three copies of the online version, and went to line up early in the morning to buy three copies of the physical bookstore version. Now facing six identical books, I am speechless and don’t know what to say;
You are really unlucky too;
…
Chu Li put down the phone, and brushed back the broken hair in front of his head.
She calmly looked at the scenery passing by outside the window, she took a deep breath, only to find that her chest was full of oppression, which made her breathless—
Suo Heng's Weibo has not been lively once in several years, and hundreds of people finally came to swarm in, but all of them are like... this kind of, I don't know how to describe the comments and reposts.
But what is the reader doing wrong
What did the author do wrong again
Who is to blame
…
Twenty minutes later.
When Hiukawa looked at the rearview mirror and slowly put the car into the garage, the person sitting in the passenger seat who had been silent all the way suddenly moved—Hikawa slowly withdrew his gaze from the rearview mirror and set his gaze on on the people around me.
He saw her bright eyes.
"This time, I will take the blame." The two hands on the knees slowly clenched from the state of powerlessness, "But I will leave my words here today, Lao Miao and Liang Surfing, one of them must die .”
