three months later.
After the Chinese New Year, the small days pass quickly again, and the Labor Day holiday is approaching in a blink of an eye. Because Labor Day is a public holiday, book fairs and comic exhibitions are blooming everywhere. All publishing houses and publishing companies are counting on being able to go to the book fair. A wave of inventory makes a lot of money, and of course Yuanyue Society is the same.
In the past, Chuli didn't care about these things. After all, how much Yuanyue Society makes and how to clear its inventory are Liang Surf's worries. At most, she brings out authors when the society needs them.
But this time is different.
The joint signing of Suo Heng and Guiwa is like a huge mountain on Chu Li's shoulders—
Now that Suo Heng's popularity has risen rapidly, a fan of "Journey to the West" called her status in the literary world even worse than before;
It's the first time for A Gui to sign a sale. It's rare for those little fans to come across a Danmei author's signing for thousands of years. Naturally, there is a lot of response...
It's not what it used to be. After the online pre-sale of the two books was very successful and easily exceeded the expected sales volume, Suo Heng and Guiwa are not a little transparent now. In addition, on the day of the signing, it is the physical book of the two authors. On the first day of release, the two of them are also looking forward to the early arrival of that day, and they can have a face-to-face chat with readers—
This can be seen from their positive attitude when Chu Li discussed with them the details of the signing event and the activities to be done at that time.
As stated above.
There was a lot of pressure in all aspects of the first ceremony, so for this first signing ceremony, I paid special attention to it, and held a meeting with a bunch of people early to ensure that everything went smoothly on the day of the book signing...
However, there are people in this world who want to make her unhappy.
…
April twenty-first.
this day.
At the table in the meeting room of Yuanyue Society, the leaders of various departments of Yuanyue Society looked at the person standing by the table with his stomach upright at this moment—at this moment, the little guy in Chu Li's belly was eight months old. She is going to give birth in a short time. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chu Li's belly is as big as a balloon, and she has gained weight and whitened due to pregnancy...
Everyone in the club knew that after the signing of the book fair, Hiukawa said that he would never leave Chuli to go to work again, so everyone knew that Churi's maternity leave note had been prepared and handed over. The personnel department of the society did not hesitate to approve the leave: After all, the son who is going to be born is Richuan's son, so is it different from the prince of the Yuanyue society
And at this time.
Just as everyone was staring at Chu Li's faintly visible double chin in a daze, feeling inwardly that Mr. Zhou Chuan had to give her a few meals of bird's nest every day...
"I have repeatedly emphasized the signing process, because this signing is very important to the author. If Yuanyue Club is not ready to finish the signing, I will break up with the author. I sincerely hope that colleagues in various departments can cooperate friendly and actively, and don't make extra troubles. …”
It is said that pregnant people will look very kind-hearted because of the brilliance of motherhood. However, looking at the first ceremony, holding a folder and slowly going through the basic process of the signing day, everyone thought: Don’t lie, be kind-hearted where
Taking advantage of Chu Li's time to breathe, the head of the Propaganda Department couldn't help but said, "Chu Li, why don't you sit down and talk, I'm tired seeing you puffing out your stomach."
Chu Li, who was half-speaking, stopped. Glancing at her from above the file folder, he said expressionlessly, "No, speak louder, so you can hear me better."
Everyone: "..."
There is no such thing as kind eyebrows and kind eyes, only vigorous and resolute actions.
One who can't hold it down will jump to the sky.
Facing everyone's eyes, Chu Li supported his waist with one hand, straightened his stomach, and continued in a steady voice: "The time arranged by the book fair is from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., an hour. Signing, there is ten minutes of free time at the end for us to change the background wall of the signing... I will take the author into the lounge half an hour in advance, and the people from the propaganda department will be in place with me. The author of New Shield will go and start changing it immediately For the background wall curtain of our author, be careful to be polite, and only change it after the author finishes packing and leaves the stage."
After Chu Li finished speaking, he looked at the boss of the Propaganda Department and nodded, indicating that he had written it down, and then continued to say—
"Because it's two authors working together, even if the team is very long, it actually moves faster... It's not too long, it should be signed--Ah, you prepare two colors of sticky notes, and then go to the team in advance when the time comes Ask, let the readers who are looking for Suo Heng and the readers who are looking for A Gui explain which author they are looking for, and then mark them on the sticky notes one by one. In this way, one author will not be busy and the other will be idle, and the scene will be awkward, and readers will pile up and waste time instead.”
As Chu Li spoke, he watched with satisfaction that the editor under him was also hard at work.
While she was writing, Chu Li glanced around at everyone around the conference table and asked if they had any other questions. Liang Surf stood up—to be honest, Chu Li didn’t think Liang Surf would It was expected that she would let her go so easily and not find trouble for her, but she really couldn't believe that Liang Surf could use those bad cosplayers to fool her and sabotage her plan at this time...
So seeing Liang Surf standing up now, Chu Li asked calmly, "Is there anything else for Vice President Liang?"
"Yes, it's a big deal." Liang Surf glanced at Chu Li, smiled and opened the folder in his hand, "Because something urgent happened, the book signing time has changed a little."
Chu Li dimpled with laughter: "What's urgent, the house where the book fair was held collapsed?"
Everyone: "..."
"The night before yesterday, I received a document from Mr. Herman's assistant, saying that it is going to officially launch a cooperation project with Mr. Hikawa in the near future and announce it to the public. The email clearly stated that I hope that Yuanyue Club can arrange a series of promotional activities. to help with the initial publicity of the work, and Mr. Herman will fully cooperate." After Liang Surf finished speaking, he turned his head and smiled brightly at Chu Li, "So our agency decided to take advantage of the May Day golden holiday to invite Mr. Herman Come to the event book fair to have an hour-long signing and a two-hour discussion on new works with Mr. Hikawa."
First ceremony: "..."
Chu Li: "Where's the mail?"
Liang Surf: "Sent to your email."
On the spot, Chuli took out her phone and checked her email, and found that the email that Liang Surf mentioned was really fucking there. Yesterday she went to the maternity checkup and didn't come to work, and she came directly to the meeting this morning and didn't pay attention to check the email... Fuck!
Chu Li put down his phone, glanced at Liang Surfing, and said in a defensive voice, "Where are you going to squeeze in for a three-hour event?"
Liang Surf: "On the day of Suo Heng and Guiwa's autograph signing—don't worry, you have to be impatient, I didn't say to shorten the signing time of Suo Heng and Guiwa, did I? I told the book fair Well, at 2:30, Suo Heng and the others will start the activities of Hiukawa and Hellman immediately after signing the book, and the book fair has agreed quickly for the sake of the two great gods... "
Chu Li showed a skeptical expression, she didn't believe that Liang Surf was suddenly so conscientious in doing things.
"You Suo Heng and Guiwa are in the front again. You don't have to worry about my marketing department occupying the place when the coser signed the sale. The initiative is on you, isn't it?" Liang Surf smiled and said with a thick old face, "I don't know What are you worried about, turn your elbows outwards, Mr. Hiukawa is so sad to know... "
Chu Li sneered: "Are you using Zhou Chuan to suppress me?"
Liang Surf also laughed: "Is it suppressed?"
Hiukawa and Helman, not to mention Suoheng and Guiwa, have no problem crushing all current author combinations in China.
Chuli had nothing to say, and what Liang Surf said made sense. Guiwa and Suo Heng's signings were ahead, so the chances of anything going wrong were much smaller. After hesitating for a while, she finally nodded and agreed. one change.
— The moment she nodded, everyone at the table breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm afraid that if she disagrees with Liang Surf, she will fight again.
…
After the meeting.
Watching Chuli leave the conference room, Liang Surf immediately pulled over the boss of the propaganda department, directing the people in the propaganda department to quickly announce the signing of Helman and Hirukawa on the same stage, and entered the emergency publicity period.
The boss of the Propaganda Department was stunned when he heard the words: "Hey, but the final promotional information of Suo Heng and Guiwa's signing was sent out in less than 24 hours, so it's really good to immediately release new signing information to wash away their publicity ?"
"Oh, I have seen everything that should be seen in dozens of hours, and those who haven't seen are not true fans who follow the author, let alone come to sign the sale." Liang Surf patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile , "And Suo Heng and Guiwa are more important, or Hiukawa and Herman, don't you have any weight in your heart?"
The head of the Propaganda Department: "..."
The boss of the Propaganda Department: "Mr. Liang, we are all colleagues, don't keep thinking about making troubles at Chu Li's place, what good will it do you to make her angry..."
Liang Surf turned his head and looked at his nose bridge that had been crooked since the gauze was removed, raised his hand and touched it: "What do you think?"
The head of the Propaganda Department twitched his lips.
Liang Surf rolled his eyes: "The author is a weapon in the hands of the editor. This sentence was taught by Chu Li himself—I just use my own way to treat others."
The boss of the Propaganda Department heard the maliciousness in his words, and also guessed that Liang Surf was beaten up last time. As expected, he didn't just let it go, frowned slightly, and persuaded hesitantly: "...you really don't want to make trouble, if it is true Push people away—"
"Hiukawa's contract is already in Yuanyue Club. With her relationship with Hiukawa, will she leave before the book is finished? Speaking of which, it doesn't matter if she leaves, anyway, Hiukawa's book has already been won." Now, even if Zhou Chuan is a god, he should have a peak, and there is no way in his life that there will be a more popular work than this book," Liang Surf said with a happy face, "Besides, even if she leaves, she can go Wow, the domestic publishing industry is all like a bird, and the sunset industry, wherever you go, it’s just a square dance!"
The head of the Propaganda Department: "..."
Liang Surf gave her a push: "Alright, alright, hurry up and distribute the publicity. Why are you so afraid of her, the editor-in-chief of a magazine branch? You can still find out. The best show is yet to come!"
