Chapter 368: The State Banquet is Invited, and the Queen's Invitation (I)

On January 3o, 9 days before the Lunar New Year, Jianghai ushered in the first light snow, and the ground was hastily melted before it had time to pave white......

Complaints on the Internet about the suspension of the publication of "Jianglu" are also continuing, and everyone is particularly dissatisfied with Liu Jingting's strategy of starving for marketing his new book, and the editorial department discusses countermeasures, but everyone's opinions are still unanimous.

Wang Jianshan and Chang Youdao Jian announced the truth and tried to reverse the situation with the help of the pressure of public opinion, and several female editors were relatively calm and conservative in their thinking, believing that if they were really opposed, they would do more harm than good.

"Of course I'm very angry, but the pressure of public opinion is really unreliable, because public opinion can certainly exert pressure, but it is also easy to be suppressed, we do magazines in the final analysis or business, since we open the door to do business, of course, harmony and wealth, the previous facts have also proved that the harmony between government and business is the most ideal state. ”

Xu Qing held a white coffee cup and leaned on the table to analyze with everyone, of course, the main thing was to persuade Liu Jingting.

Liu Jingting, who had been listening to everyone's words silently, finally spoke: "The use of public opinion is essentially to kidnap readers, this kind of thing cannot become the norm to solve problems, and as Aunt Qing said, those forces are not as strong as imagined, and it is easy to get out of control, I also want to return to the normal state before, now it seems that the possibility is very small, not that it can't be done, but after doing that, I will feel unhappy and uncomfortable, which is contrary to our original intention of making a magazine." ”

Xu Qing asked, "What did that Director Chen say that day?"

"He gave me a choice, and he gave me a choice. Let me dismiss some of my previous decisions, realize my ignorance, and make amends as I deserve. ”

"How do you answer. ”

"Closed!"

Xu Qing smiled helplessly. Sighing softly, taking a sip of coffee, after three years of travel, I should have already understood what kind of person this guy is.

Chang Youdao continued: "The point is, it has been delayed until the end of January, and we can publish a new issue as planned, but how to announce the next issue?"

Su Jin said: "It was just announced that the publication would be closed. If a new magazine were suddenly announced, it would give the illusion that we were a sloppy little workshop. ”

Liu Jingting nodded and said, "So." We are still merging the February content with the special issue to form a 'graded book' as usual, and the new content is still submitted for review and will be answered in due time. We'll be out when. Then I just thought about the opinions of Lao Chang and Jianshan, but I can mention a little bit about the content being reviewed, and it doesn't have to be too specific and detailed, declarative sentences, and redundant information, everyone can make up the brain. ”

"Hmm. ”

"This should be the most appropriate response. ”

Wang Jianshan thought about it and agreed, this is the first time he has seen the editor-in-chief Liu Jingting deal with the crisis, overall. Still slightly expected, principled, able to listen to opinions, calm, confident, and mature beyond his age.

This time. Suddenly, he heard Liu Jingting's words, looked at Chang Youdao with a smile, and said, "Old Chang, tell me about your girlfriend, I can't help but want to gossip about it for a long time." ”

Wang Jianshan immediately hung three question marks on his left head.

Chang Youdao also failed to turn his mind from the depressing topic just now, and when he saw that everyone's eyes fell on him, he said: "It's still talking, and the relationship hasn't been officially confirmed." ”

"I shouldn't have run away, with your charm, in fact, speaking of which, I was worried that you would show off with the green pepper, but now I'm relieved. ”

Qingjiao's face turned red, and he whispered "Editor-in-chief~"

"Why are you relieved now?" asked Kang Lingyue.

"It's forbidden for colleagues to fall in love. ”

"Where is it forbidden?"

"Isn't this an unspoken rule?"

Liu Jingting said and glanced around at everyone, then his eyes fell on Xiao Qingyu and asked, "What do you say, Old Xiao?"

Xiao Qingyu stood there dumbfounded, and subconsciously glanced at Qingjiao, Qingjiao's face also changed slightly, and he was a little dazed.

"What kind of inhumane rule is this, besides, Liu Jingting, you ...... with Yang Lilu"

"Ahem......" Liu Jingting glared at Kang Lingyue dissatisfied, Kang Lingyue said "Hey", turned her head to look at Xu Qing, and asked for help: "Aunt Qing, you speak." ”

Xu Qing laughed and said, "Okay, Boss Liu, don't joke about Qingyu and Qingjiao." ”

"Ah?!" Qingjiao's face was shy, but Xiao Qingyu was even more cowardly than her.

Liu Jingting glanced at Xiao Qingyu and Qingjiao respectively, and said with a smile: "I saw it earlier, haha......"

Wang Jianshan's cognition of Liu Jingting has finally become three-dimensional.

……

On February 4th, the drafting of the February issue of "Craftsman Record" was completed, and the magazine officially began its annual vacation.

Nowadays, whether it is entertainment programs, news or advertisements on TV, they have begun to create a more or less festive and lively atmosphere.

"Hey, Liu Jingting, come and take a look, the news says that the Queen of England will visit China after the New Year. ”

Xu Qing, who was talking to the girls about Liu Jingting's trip, saw the news on TV and turned her head to call Liu Jingting, who was playing cards.

"I need the king now, I don't need the queen. ”

"Anyway, it's also an acquaintance, you, as a local snake, didn't say anything, it's really not polite at all. ”

"She didn't come to see me. ”

Su Jin raised her mobile phone and said, "Report to the boss, there are really people on the Internet who are saying that the queen is visiting China and wants to see you by name." ”

"This kind of rumor is too untechnical, how do they know whose name the queen called, could it be that they eavesdropped on the Baihan Golden Palace?" Liu Jingting replied while looking at the card field.

"Someone said before that the president of the United States wanted to see Han Shuo and was refused. "There is often a saying.

Wang Jianshan continued: "I think this news can be guided, maybe there will be some unexpected effect on our current predicament, the so-called stones of other mountains can attack jade." ”

"It's a good idea. ”

Liu Jingting doesn't mind laughing at himself, and everyone is not afraid to actively complain. Speaking of excitement, simply close the cards and do your best to arrange a "story of the queen's three visits to the thatched house", all of whom are people who do word work. It may be difficult to really put pen to paper, and it is still difficult to fabricate a small story with ups and downs casually, which is still difficult for this group of literary and artistic youth.

At the end of the story, the actor "Liu Jingting" has become the focus of the news, and after the picture of talking and laughing with the queen is projected on the TV screen, the relevant personnel and their friends are stunned, and they review the stuck magazine in minutes.

However. After the story ended, everyone had to return to reality, the Queen of England had awarded Liu Jingting a medal. But that's just an experience of her job, an inappropriate example, like you can't hold a McDonald's waiter accountable for eating your pancakes.

"Then again, if I have the opportunity to attend any event this time. You must not say no again. Think of it as a magazine. ”

Xu Qing reminded.

"I understand. ”

"Hey, it's just talking, the Queen, as the highest honorary representative of the United Kingdom, naturally comes to China to talk about national events and the world, and I guess I don't have time to sit in our magazine office. ”

Everyone will not be discouraged by this, after all, this reality is just a story background, and Liu Jingting has made other plans. There is no burden or luxury in this regard.

The new content was submitted for review, and the reply received was: "The end of the year is approaching." The results may have to wait a while. ”

Everyone is also mentally prepared, teasing themselves a few words, and going home for the New Year.

……

Liu Jingting received the news of the invitation to the state banquet on the second day of the Lunar New Year, when he was having lunch at his grandmother's house, Yang Lilu's phone called, but after connecting, he heard Yang Guozheng's voice.

"The time is late February, the British side submitted the credentials, a special one is to invite you to come, I will tell you in advance, lest you be unprepared, the official invitation letter will probably arrive at your Jianghai magazine office later. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Yang, I'll be ready. ”

"Don't thank me," Yang Guozheng paused and said, "It's Lulu." ”

"Hmm. When I go back for the New Year, I will thank her in person. ”

"Speaking of which, I'll ask you more, she doesn't want to go to work now, saying that she has a job with you, what the hell is going on?"

"Oh, that's the kind of uncle, when I was in college, I started a small company called Yingri Culture, and then I ran a magazine called "Craftsman's Record", and I specially invited half of the ...... Yang Lilu is in charge of external copyright, and now more than ninety percent of my English version of my works are translated by her. ”

"I know what you're doing, it's just to make sure, and also, young people know that it's good to start a business, but remember to abide by the law, and pay taxes in a timely and legal manner. ”

"That's for sure. ”

"Alright then, have you eaten?"

"I was having lunch at my grandmother's house. ”

"Oh, then go quickly, I'll tell you that I know what to do. ”

"Okay, you also go to dinner and greet you and your aunt for the New Year. ”

Liu Jingting returned to the dinner table, and his mother asked, "Whose phone number?"

My aunt smiled and said, "It must be a girlfriend......"

"It's her dad. ”

As soon as Father Liu heard that it was the other party's father, he immediately answered: "Is there something wrong?"

Liu Jingting blurted out: "He informed me to go to Yanjing to attend a banquet at the end of February. ”

"Do you want me to go with your mother?" Father Liu naturally thought of the meeting between his parents.

Liu Jingting smiled: "Not this time." ”

An uncle-in-law asked, "What kind of work does your future father-in-law do?"

"Diplomat. Liu Jingting didn't want to explain too much, so he replied in passing.

The relatives at the table were shocked by Liu Jingting's answer, everyone knew that he was a famous writer, but they didn't know that he still had such a relationship, and they were surprised, but they were inevitably secretly glad that there was such a relationship, can't they rely on things in the future?

Liu's father and mother also heard the news for the first time, and after being as surprised as everyone else, the rest is pride, every New Year's holiday, relatives gather, even if it is a brother and sister, they will occasionally compete in their hearts, and compare whose children are better.

Although Liu Jingting has maintained a unique ride since he entered Vientiane, occasionally adding some new amazing achievements will still make the parents happy and proud, because in the end, they still teach their children well.

After staying at home for a week, I returned to Jianghai on the fifth day of the new year, and other colleagues had already sent a text message saying that the sixth day of the new year would arrive, but it was Yang Lilu, who was outside the official establishment, and rushed over on the evening of the fifth day of the new year.

"I'm here to debrief. ”

Yang Lilu stood in front of Liu Jingting, raised her head and said seriously, "I haven't been expelled yet, have I?"

Liu Jingting said: "It's still in the probation period, continue to work hard." ”

As they spoke, the two walked side by side along the street, the warm colors of the dim streetlights and colorful billboards in the cold winter night.

"Why don't you hug me?"

A girl's voice came from far away from the street, and then the boy stopped, turned and hugged the girl in his arms.

……

On the sixth day of the first month, all the editors of "Craftsman Record" arrived, and Liu Jingting led everyone to Beicheng for a New Year's dinner, chatting about the New Year's interesting things, complaining about the Spring Festival Gala, until the "Planning for the Future" link, the atmosphere was condensed.

"I went on a business trip to Yanjing at the end of February to see if I could solve this problem. ”

Liu Jingting said casually, except for the insiders Yang Lilu and Xu Qing, several other people looked at each other, and often asked: "Lao Liu, do you want to sue the emperor?"

"I'm just going to have a meal. ”

Xu Qing said: "Eating a meal also scared them." ”

"I understand what Aunt Qing means, so I am suspicious?"

Liu Jingting smiled and beckoned everyone to eat.

……

The day after the Lantern Festival, on February 24, Liu Jingting went out to Yanjing.

On February 25, the Queen of England arrived in Yanjing, China.

At seven o'clock that night, Xu Qing pulled all the editors to the TV to watch the daily news, and just as everyone was speculating about Xu Qing's intentions, a familiar face appeared on the TV screen.

Their boss, Yoo Kyung-jeong!

I am smiling with the Queen of England with a silver head, talking, laughing, and self-sufficient!

Everyone opened their mouths, stared at their eyes, and wrote the word "unbelievable" all over their faces.

Next, the camera turned, and the shot that made them even more shocking appeared, the No. 1 commander held Liu Jingting's hand kindly, asking something seriously, and Liu Jingting was calmly answering, nodding from time to time, and picking up a few words, and then Liu Jingting nodded.

Because it's a daily news, it's not very long, but for many people, those two shots seem like two full centuries, like two thunderbolts exploding in the clear sky! (To be continued......
