Early the next morning, Summer and Chen Yixin took a ride to Ming Pao Building on Hong Kong Island.

Because they live in Clear Water Bay in the New Territories, and Ming Pao Building is located in Chai Wan on Hong Kong Island, it is really painful to reverse the car several times and have to squeeze with many people.

"Brother Tian, if only you had received Cheng Long's car that day, we wouldn't have to squeeze the bus so hard. Chen Yixin said with a bitter face. He was accidentally pushed when he got into the car just now, and his leg hit the guardrail, and he still hurts badly.

"Is it so easy to take advantage of other people's benefits, you are a fool to be a fool, and you will give you a car for no reason. Summer pouted. He didn't believe that there would be such a good thing as pie falling from the sky, and if pie did fall from the sky one day, it would be a trap and not a pie.

"It's also a hassle to crowd the bus like this every day. Chen Yixin said with a frown. It takes at least 40 minutes to get from the New Territories to Hong Kong Island, which is really difficult.

In comparison, their previous traffic was fantastic. Walk directly to work, it doesn't take a few minutes to arrive, simple and convenient.

"Why don't you, Brother Tian, let's go back and rent a room here on Hong Kong Island?" he suddenly suggested.

"Stop dreaming. Houses on Hong Kong Island are very expensive, and a small house of 30 square meters costs two or three thousand yuan. I have paid all my remuneration as shares, and if the magazine is not profitable, I will not even receive my monthly salary, so how can I have the money to rent a house on Hong Kong Island?" said Summer, waving his hand.

"Besides, if we live on Hong Kong Island, what about the little sister? Do you want her to move with her, and take the bus to school every morning?" asked Summer.

"Forget it, let's work harder, don't let her toss. When Chen Yixin heard this, he waved his hand again and again. Let Xia Xue squeeze the bus to school every morning, then he can't bear it.

……

Talking all the way, I came to the Ming Pao Building.

Summer first took Chen Yixin to meet Jin Yong, and then took him to the third floor to find the newly established Fantasy World Magazine.

The sign hanging in front of the door is not yet dry.

And Ren Wanying was leading people to clean up the tables and chairs, and when she saw that summer was coming, she couldn't help but greet with a smile, "President, the first day of work, it's really positive! ”

"How dare I, Sister Wanying. I knew you were busy, so I brought someone to help. Xia smiled, "This is Chen Yixin, my good brother, and he will also be a member of our magazine in the future." He then introduced everyone to Chen Yixin one by one.

When everyone saw that on the first day of the magazine's opening, they stuffed their own people into the magazine in the summer, and their faces couldn't help but be a little strange.

This Chen Yixin is younger than the summer, and obviously he doesn't understand the affairs of the magazine, so if he stuffs such a person in, isn't that cronyism and nonsense? In case he relies on the summer's relationship to mess around, what should he do? Moreover, the magazine has just opened, and the funds are already limited, and if there is one more person who eats empty salary, won't that force the magazine to end early?

"Ah Tian, the magazine was just founded today, you can't wait to stuff people into it, what if he messes around?" Ren Wanying didn't want to see Xia make a mistake, so she quietly asked him for advice.

Summer blinked, "Don't worry, Sister Wanying, I'll watch him and make sure he won't mess around." And my brother has a very good personality, and he is not the kind of person who is lazy and does nonsense, so you can rest assured. ”

"Well, well, since you praise him so much, then I will believe you. But others are not as easy to talk as I am, so you should explain it to everyone so as not to cause them dissatisfaction. Ren Wanying reminded again. She was Summer's assistant and had the obligation to give him advice and assist him in the work of the magazine.

Xia nodded, and deliberately said loudly to Ren Wanying, "Sister Wanying, Yixin's position is considered an intern, so there is no need to arrange a specific position for him." In addition, his salary does not have to go from the magazine, I can just send it to him. ”

When everyone heard him say this, their faces looked a little better. Since it's just an intern, it doesn't matter if you don't occupy a position and don't receive a salary from a magazine.

Chen Yixin saw that everyone looked at him very repulsively, and when he heard Xia say this, he couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.

"Brother Tian, you let me start as an intern, so don't you still want to be a little brother for others?" Chen Yixin said with some grievances. He worked as an assistant gaffer at Shaw Brothers for more than two years, and he was finally about to get out of the mix. I didn't expect to come to the magazine as a younger brother now, which really makes him unacceptable.

"If you're afraid of being a little brother or something, even I have to be a little brother. Summer glared at him and said, "Anyway, this is all working in an office, decent, clean, isn't it better than you covering your stinky sweat in the studio?"

Chen Yixin was stunned for a moment and nodded. Working in an office is certainly better than being in a studio. The wind can't blow, the rain can't get wet, it's comfortable, and you can easily make money.

"But I'm afraid I won't be able to do it myself. Chen Yixin frowned and said.

He did not graduate from high school and did not have a high level of education. After dropping out of school, he joined Shaw Brothers as an assistant gaffer, and he was not good at anything other than lighting. Now that Leng Buding has let him enter the magazine, he really doesn't know what he can do.

"It's okay, if you don't know how to do it, just look at it and learn more. Start from the basics, study hard, and you will always learn. Summer encouraged him, "When you first entered the Shaw Brothers to learn to be a lighting engineer, those masters wouldn't teach you right away." You haven't served tea and water, but you've been busy for more than a year before you learned your skills. ”

So don't feel inferior, don't be proud, and continue to learn from the basics. I have faith in you. Summer patted him on the shoulder.

Hearing him say this, Chen Yixin also nodded solemnly.

……

Chen Yixin listened to Summer's words last night, and thought that after joining the magazine, he would become the "second president" under one person and above everyone.

But the dream is beautiful, the reality is cruel. Unexpectedly, he had to start as a basic intern, which made it difficult for him to accept it for a while.

But after being taught by the summer, Chen Yixin began to calm down again, change his concepts, and start from his younger brother in a down-to-earth manner.

He first helped Ren Wanying and others clean up the office, and then took the initiative to make tea and pour water, running before and after, which made people feel that this young man was very real.

Everyone was a little hostile to him at first, but then they all changed their opinions.

After tidying up the office, it was already noon. In the summer, Chen Yixin was sent out to buy a boxed lunch, and everyone settled lunch in the office.

"President, today our magazine is officially established, and I think the work should be on the right track as soon as possible. Tang Congsheng said while eating.

Summer nodded, "That's what I mean, too." I think after dinner, let's have a meeting together and discuss the inaugural issue. ”

Everyone nodded.

After eating, everyone went into the summer office together.

The whole magazine has two rooms, only one person has an office in the summer, and the other four have to be crammed together.

Chen Yixin took the initiative to bring everyone the brewed tea, and then sat in the corner in a proper manner, which made people nod when they saw it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know much about running a magazine, and I need to hear your opinions on how it should be produced. Summer smiled and said, "Please also give me advice." ”

"No problem. If you want to run a magazine, the first thing to solve is the manuscript problem, and our magazine mainly promotes fantasy novels. But as far as I know, there are no other works for the time being, except for the book "Qin Shi Mingyue" written by you, president. Tang Congsheng spoke.

A seventy-page literary magazine needs at least a 100,000-word novella, a 25,000-word long serial, and eight or nine short stories. Tang Congsheng said again, "Now we only have a novel, and we can't get together a magazine at all." But I can call a few writers I know and ask them for a draft. ”

Summer nodded, there is no draft, it is indeed the biggest problem. It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!

"Okay, put the manuscript in advance, and you can't rush it. He said, "Is there anything else left?"

"Well, the rest is easy. Our magazine can use the printing plant of the Ming Pao Group for printing, and use the channels of the Ming Pao Group for publicity and sales. Tang Congsheng explained.

"Okay, in that case, let's break up the meeting, and everyone will go and get busy. Summer clapped his hands and smiled, "Editor-in-Chief Tang, you still have to worry more about the manuscript." ”

"Okay, President. Tang Congsheng nodded.

……

After everyone left, Xia took out the manuscript of "Qin Shi Mingyue" and continued to write down.

"It would be nice if the magazines were all novels, so I wouldn't have to worry about the manuscript. He muttered to himself as he wrote.

He hadn't read the novella fantasy novel at all, and the online novels he read started at least with a million words. A fantasy novel of 100,000 words is not enough for him to stuff his teeth. Therefore, in the face of this problem, he has no way to solve it.

Summer had just written more than 2,000 words when the door to his office was suddenly pushed open.

Xia was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and saw Tang Congsheng running in from outside with a frightened face, "President, it's not good, it's troublesome!"

"If there's anything, you sit down and talk slowly, don't be in a hurry. Although he disturbed his creation, which made Xia a little dissatisfied, seeing Tang Congsheng sweating profusely, he couldn't bear to be harsh.

Tang Congsheng sat down and was about to speak, when the others heard the movement and came in curiously.

"Come in if you want to hear it, and don't stand at the door. Summer was a little speechless, and then asked Tang Congsheng, "Editor-in-Chief Tang, what's going on, you take your time." ”

"President, this is a problem, I called those writer friends to ask for manuscripts, but I didn't expect them to be all rejected. We don't have a manuscript, everything is over. Tang Congsheng said with a long sigh.

Hearing him say this, everyone present couldn't help but change their faces.
