Chapter 45: Beyond Measure!
"Editor-in-chief, I'm afraid I won't be able to bring that newcomer. ”
In the editor-in-chief's office, Du Ming said to the editor-in-chief angrily.
"Oh?"
"He's too self-righteous, just joined the company, he just wanted to get results, it's a good thing to be self-motivated, but he really didn't take me as an old editor in his eyes, there is a very controversial author who fights on the street, and the entire editorial department knows that the book written by this person can't be popular at all, you also said that the person is not suitable for this industry, but he insists on signing it, isn't this a slap in the face?"
The editor-in-chief frowned slightly: "What is the pen name?"
"My pen name used to be Feiye, but now I call Xu Chen. Du Ming said.
"It's him. The editor-in-chief said indifferently.
More than four years ago, when Xu Chen first entered the industry, the first step was to create an author account and take the author's name.
Xu Chen is a young man, and he originally wanted to be named 'Fei Ye', but the input method of the pit father made him a flying master, and he didn't check it carefully, and he carelessly clicked it to be sure, so he couldn't change it.
Soon after, the website held a training meeting, Xu Chen signed up to participate, after seeing the editor-in-chief, he was excited, and ran to directly stretch out his hand to introduce himself: "Hello editor-in-chief, I am Fei Ye." ”
At that time, all the authors present looked at Xu Chen in shock, and secretly said Niu Fork.
"Fei Ye. The editor-in-chief shook hands with Xu Chen with a smile, and since then, Xu Chen has not recommended him for half a year.
can make the editor-in-chief call sir, why don't you hit the street, who will hit the street?
Xu Chen's road to the street has since begun.
In the next four years, Xu Chen has always been the lowest level of the street, and even the entire editorial department already knows about this guy, and has heard about what happened during the training.
Since then, in the hearts of all editors, Xu Chen has been blacklisted.
Offended the editor-in-chief when he just entered the industry, this is tantamount to a cultivator who has just cultivated, offended the Jade Emperor, who dares to make you an immortal?
"There's no need to spend time on this person, just waste the recommendation place, and let Li Hu come over. The editor-in-chief said.
Du Ming nodded, secretly happy in his heart, turned around and walked out of the door, came to Li Hu's side, and said with a smile: "Li Hu, the editor-in-chief is looking for you." ”
"Okay, I'll be right here. Li Hutou replied without replying.
It was already noon, Du Ming didn't care, and went downstairs with other colleagues to have lunch, but Du Ming was still busy on the computer.
When he finally finished his work, stretched his waist and stood up, and went to the editor-in-chief's office, the editor-in-chief was no longer in the office.
After lunch, Li Hu had already signed the contract, and the signing editor had also drawn up the contract and sent it to Li Hu's mailbox.
At this time, Li Hu went to the editor-in-chief's office and met the editor-in-chief.
"I heard that you want to sign an author that no one recognizes?" asked the editor-in-chief casually.
"Yes. Li Hu nodded.
"It's good to just go to work and want to make achievements, but you also have to pay attention to the relationship between colleagues, and if everyone doesn't approve of them, you should ignore them. ”
Li Hu pursed his lips: "But I think he can write and has this talent." ”
"Can you still fight for four years if you have talent? The editor-in-chief waved his hand nonchalantly.
Li Hu was silent for a long time, nodded, and turned to go out.
Sitting in his place, Li Hu looked at the signing contract blankly, as long as he sent it out, he could help Xu Chen sign the contract.
But this afternoon, he had been hesitating.
Looking at the book written by Xu Chen carefully over and over again, Li Hu still didn't make up his mind.
Until nightfall, the editorial department got off work, and Li Hu returned to his home, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
I have worked hard and persevered, but the taste of not being recognized is too bitter.
If Xu Chen's writing is really poor, then it is understandable, but this book is really okay, just because of everyone's prejudice, all the efforts are erased, what is this?
turned on the computer and found Xu Chen's CC number, Li Hu entered the number and sent a message to add friends.
At this time, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
Li Hu thought that Xu Chen had fallen asleep, but his application had just been sent, and Xu Chen's side immediately agreed.
"Hello, I am the editor-in-charge, your book has great potential, and it has met the conditions for signing a contract, you can sign a contract, are you willing to sign a contract?"
When he saw this line of news, Xu Chen's eyes felt a kind of sourness, and his heart was full of excitement.
He thought that he could not care so much, but at this time, he realized that the dream that a person has always insisted on cannot be faced calmly.
"Yes!
Xu Chen shouted frantically in his heart, trembling his hands, and knocked down the reply.
Soon, the signing contract appeared in Xu Chen's mailbox.
"Your writing is not bad, I'm very optimistic, I'll mail the contract tomorrow, come on, good night. ”
"Thank you, good night!"
After turning off the computer, Xu Chen's mood still couldn't calm down for a long time, he excitedly picked up his mobile phone and called Wu Dongyang, wanting to share this joy with his brother.
"What? You signed a contract?" Wu Dongyang was also surprised when he heard the news, and then after saying something against his will, such as 'happy for you, proud of you, proud of you', Wu Dongyang hung up the phone.
Sitting in front of the computer, Wu Dongyang smiled helplessly: "It seems that my brother is going to apply for a bunch of trumpets again......"
Early the next morning, Xu Chen went out to look for a print shop, but found that no print shop opened at six o'clock in the morning, so he could only go home with an uncalm mood.
Xu Chen wanted to calm down and write chapters, but he couldn't calm down, he looked at TV and played games, but his eyes were staring at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen from time to time.
finally survived until nine o'clock, Xu Chen rushed out of the door, and the print shop finally opened.
Print the contract and mail it.
When Xu Chen returned home again, his heart was much calmer.
"Thanks to Pidou Da, the contract has been mailed. Xu Chen sent a message to Li Hu.
Li Hu didn't answer, he had already been called to the editor-in-chief's office.
"On your first day at work, you disobeyed the yang and the yin, don't you want to do it?" The editor-in-chief was very angry, not angry that he wasted a place for signing and recommending, but because he was angry that Li Hu was disobedient to discipline.
"I'm sorry editor-in-chief, I just want to try, I think anyone's enthusiasm and dreams should not be buried and ignored. Li Hu said.
"You mean to say that you are the only Bole, and our entire editorial office is cow dung?"
The editor-in-chief slapped the table angrily and said to Li Hu: "Get out! Think about what the problem is, if you still don't think clearly where the mistake is, you can get out!"
When Li Hu walked out of the editor-in-chief's office, he was greeted almost exclusively by mocking and mocking glances.
The editor-in-chief was furious, and the roar could be heard clearly through the glass door, and as for why this newcomer had provoked the editor-in-chief's anger, they all knew it from Du Ming.
Silently returning to his seat, Du Ming's mocking voice sounded: "Newcomer, you should have the appearance of a newcomer, don't think that you can do everything, you can do anything, we are much better than you when you look at people and books, you do this, you don't take all of us in your eyes, understand? ”
"Brother Du, I want to make a bet with you. Li Hu looked up at Du Ming.
"Bet, what qualifications do you have to bet with me?" Du Ming asked.
Li Hu gritted his teeth and said: "If he can write this book, you apologize to me, if you still hit the street, I will leave." ”
