After a day of mixing around the Friendship Store, although the 200 chocolates I brought to test the water were sold out, the taste was not good, and I almost didn't get tired like a dog.

Mainly, every batch of customers has to waste a lot of tongues.

This is not the way Guo Yongkun wants to sell, it is too strenuous.

So the next day, he and Wang Ziqiang came to another scheduled destination - Lushan.

Climbing Lushan again, the surrounding scene is completely different, referring not to the scenery, but to people......

That's called a lot!

I remember the last time he came, the tourists he met stretched out his hand and could count them, but this time, no matter where he went, it was a piece of Wuyangyang.

This is, of course, the credit of "Lushan Love", which completely ignited the tourism economy of Lushan.

But this is a good thing, more people are better, Guo Yongkun is afraid of no one.

Carrying backpacks on their backs, the two of them stride along the leafy mountain paths, looking like other tourists, but as soon as they meet the kind of couples who come together, they will immediately come to them.

"Comrade, buy an imported chocolate for your girlfriend, it's popular for people to send this abroad. ”

To be honest, the Chinese people in these years are quite admiring foreigners, and every time this sentence is spoken, their eyes will inevitably shine.

And a man who is in love is always very generous in front of the person he cares about, and the success rate is extremely high.

Although they usually only buy one, it is better to sell chocolate without too many words, while climbing the mountain and enjoying the scenery, this is the sales state that Guo Yongkun wants.

Easy to earn, not tired.

So they were stationed in Lushan next.

......

Hedong City.

Under the mandatory requirements of the Municipal Propaganda Department, Xia Kelin Magazine was forced to restructure, changing the original semi-monthly magazine to the current weekly magazine, reducing the content by nearly half.

But there is also an added content, that is, the serialization of "Zhu Xian", which is now changed to 30,000 words per week.

The latest weekly magazine was published yesterday, and the sales of newsstands all over the city were booming, forming a rare phenomenon of citizens queuing up to buy them.

In just one day, 13,000 copies were sold, and all the story newspapers and magazines in the city were sold, ranking first in daily sales, breaking the original record.

The Hedong literary and artistic circles are boiling!

A magazine that was struggling to survive suddenly came back to life, not to mention, why did sales skyrocket to such an extent?

A few newspapers were clever and immediately seized the opportunity to report the incident in a big way, and under their encouragement, a stream of Zhuxian almost swept the entire Hedong City violently with a strong posture without dead ends.

Zhuxian is completely on fire, some people are happy and some are worried.

Hedong Newspaper Compound.

Hou Chen has been a little trembling in the past few days, and he is afraid to do things, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

Needless to say, he had actually seen the potential of that book, but his professional vision still made him look down on the other party's writing, thinking that their largest newspaper in the city and even the province, in addition to good stories, should also pay attention to literary literacy.

But he didn't expect that "Zhu Xian" would be so popular!

Ordinary people don't seem to care about the writing at all, and even ignore this point directly, and only talk about it with relish.

Now in the streets and alleys, he doesn't dare to look at it, let alone listen, because every time those guys laugh, he chuckles in his heart.

The most terrible thing is that just yesterday, Xia Kelin smashed the daily sales record that their newspaper had been holding, causing their evening newspaper to plummet in sales, which was miserable.

Now I only hope that the editor-in-chief Wang will forget more things, or directly senile dementia, and forget that stubble.

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock on the door, Hou Chen's heart tightened, and he asked in that thief-like tone, "Who?"

"Editor-in-waiting, it's me, Xiao Chen. ”

Hou Chen let out a long breath and said with a smile: "Oh, it's Xiao Chen, please come in." ”

Approaching a childish girl from outside the door, she just graduated from secondary school last year and was assigned to their Hedong newspaper, although her appearance is very ordinary, but her background is very unusual.

Hou Chen also hated that he got married early, otherwise the second generation of the general who was arranged for an internship under him would have almost no possibility of escaping.

"Xiao Chen, what's the matter?" Hou Chen said kindly.

"Oh, I'm nothing, it's Editor-in-Chief Wang, he asked you to come over. ”

“......”

Hou Chen shuddered suddenly, damn, I can't hide!

"Okay, I got it. ”

Although he still had a smile on his face, in Xiao Chen's opinion, it was even more ugly than crying, and he was a little confused, not knowing what was going on.

Two minutes later, in the office of the newspaper's editor-in-chief in charge of the story.

"Wang ...... Editor-in-Chief Wang, are you looking for me?"

Behind the red-shirted wooden desk, a middle-aged man with half-white hair sits, angry at the moment, like a volcano about to erupt.

"Let me ask you, last time I had a friend from the Cultural Affairs Bureau who recommended a young man to come over and submit, did you receive it?"

Oh my God, why do you still remember this stubble?

Hou Chen complained bitterly in his heart, and said stubbornly: "Yes......"

"Let me ask you again, the novel submitted by that young man can be called "Zhu Xian"?"

Hou Chen's legs trembled a little, his voice became weaker and weaker, and he said vaguely: "Dead ......"

"Smack!"

Magma gushing.

"How the hell did you review the draft?"

Wang Yihui definitely has a reason to be angry, he vaguely remembers the other party's report to him at the beginning: the story is acceptable, the writing is immature, and it can be used or not.

Is this called "usable or not"?

People are red half the sky now!

He was also very remorseful, since he was introduced by an old friend, why didn't he take the time to take a look at it in person?

Such a big fish actually slipped through the net directly.

Otherwise, there is this relationship, this genius will be under his command after his birth, and others can't dig it up if they want to.

"Editor-in-Chief Wang, this ...... You can't blame me entirely, I told him that I could publish it, but he didn't do it himself. ”

"Oh?"

Wang Yihui frowned and said, "You tell me about the meeting with others that day, 1510." ”

After saying a word, he also warned: "Don't hit the tiger's eye, I don't think it's difficult to find that young man!"

How can Hou Chen not know this stubble?

The stomach water almost didn't come out, so I could only tell the truth about the day's events.

"Smack!"

Wang Yihui became more and more angry after hearing this, "As the old saying goes, there are no eyes, and it is a person like you, but a genius, who is not a little arrogant, you put it on him in the evening newspaper and publish it, and serialize it once a week, how can he be happy?"

"I ......"

"Xiao Hou, I doubt that there is something wrong with your professionalism now......

Hou Chen's heart was cold, and after finishing the calf, the most worrying thing happened.

"With your kind of reviewer vision, it will make the company miss out on good writers and good talents, I think you don't need to review for the time being, go to the typesetting department to help!"

Hou Chen stumbled, only to feel top-heavy, and almost didn't fall down.

The consequences were worse than he could have imagined!

He thought that even if he was removed from his title of editor, he would at least be demoted to an assistant editor, and he never wanted to be directly assigned to typesetting......

This also means that he will change from mental work to hard work, and his salary and benefits will also be greatly reduced, as for the independent office or something...... Nature no longer exists.

"Editor-in-Chief Wang, give me another chance!"

Hou Chen burst into tears directly, and he almost didn't kneel.

He joined the newspaper at the age of 21 and struggled for ten years to get to his current position, and he couldn't beat him back to the pre-liberation period with one shot!

"It's not that I don't give you this opportunity, as an editor, the most important thing is vision, since you don't have this vision, stay in your current position...... I'm putting it mildly, that's the scourge!"

"I ......"

"Get out!"

Hou Chen dragged his heavy body and left the office weakly.

Since then, he is not even as good as Xiao Chen, at least he is still an intern editor.

After the office was quiet, Wang Yihui calmed down and dialed a phone call.

"Hey, who's that?"

"Lao Hao, it's me, Yihui!"

There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment before he said, "Yoshiki, I know why you called, but honestly, I can't help with this. ”

Wang Yihui's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "Your virtuous nephew, didn't you sign this agreement with Xia Kelin?"

"Not really, I heard him say that he seemed to have signed 100,000 words for the time being. ”

"One hundred thousand?"

Wang Yihui's eyes were bright, because the latest "Xia Kelin" weekly magazine had already predicted that the total number of words in "Zhu Xian" was about 1.5 million, which was just like not signing.

That's great!

He had to fight for it, because the book was so godly, the writing was immature, but the setting and imagination were magical.

And then there is the real pressure that brought him, it was too cruel, just this one book, the sales of the "Hedong Evening News" that made their story to the story plummeted by forty percent!

It seems that after watching the magical story of "Zhu Xian", the common people have no interest in the anecdotes they serialize.

Just like those who have tasted dragon liver and phoenix gall, there is no more delicious taste in the world.

"Lao Hao, you help pull the strings, and you can talk about the remuneration or anything. ”

"Yihui, that kid has been on a business trip recently, don't say you can't see him, even if he is at home, you can't talk about it. ”

"Why?"

"Because I watched that kid grow up, he knows exactly what his temperament is, and you always know that good horses don't eat back grass, that's it. ”

"It's not okay to increase the manuscript fee so much, the price we can give is definitely higher than that of Xia Kelin. ”

"I look at the hanging. To be honest, that kid was quite a money fan when he was a child, but he seems to have changed when he grows up, he doesn't particularly love money, and his family background is okay, and he is still interested in writing novels. ”

“......”

Wang Yihui smiled bitterly, and couldn't help patting his head, this kind of writer is the most difficult.

I'm not afraid that they are educated, but I'm afraid that they have integrity!

Do you say you're worried?

At present, only 50,000 words of the 1.5 million words of the divine book have been serialized, and there is less than a fraction of it, which is such a situation.

So what are they going to do next?
