February 16 is the launch day of "Hunting the Abyss". But for Shen Xin, the more important thing today is to meet and communicate with the president and editor-in-chief to agree on the operation of "Y's" in the next few months.

Yan Fei saw Shen Xin coming to the magazine office of "New World", so she went upstairs to communicate with the president and coordinate the time.

The editor-in-chief also came out of the editorial department, and after introducing himself, Shen Xin knew that the middle-aged fat man in front of him was the editor-in-chief of "New World". Usually he communicates with Yan Fei, and rarely comes to the magazine, and he is not familiar with many people in the magazine.

After the editor-in-chief saw Shen Xin, he first greeted him, and then told him that the president has not been in good health, and when he can speak, he must pay attention to his tone. Whether the matter can be negotiated or not is a trivial matter, and if the president's health fails, it will be a big problem.

Shen Xin frowned slightly, today's negotiation is also very important to him, and he will definitely not give in. However, if the president has a health problem, he can't ignore it, so he has to wait for the formal negotiation to make a second consideration.

Female employees in other departments saw the editor-in-chief in the living room, talking to a young man alone, and guessed Shen Xin's identity.

"It can't be a relative of Editor-in-Chief Zhang, right?"

"Possibly, maybe as an editor at a magazine."

"I look so young and handsome, I don't know if I have a girlfriend."

"You're not going to be impressed, are you?"

"You're just excited?"

Xiaoli passed by and coughed dryly, "Don't think about it, this is Mr. Shen Zheng, the top cartoonist of the magazine, who is usually very busy." There's no time to think about that. ”

"Isn't it? So young? ”

"Oh, that's a pity."

Xiaoli's words completely broke the thoughts of female employees, "Y's" is in the limelight in Yunhai City, and now even the new signature "National Football Coach" of "Dreamer" has been stabilized by "Y's". As a writer, Shen Xin's worth has also risen.

They had no choice but to leave with a little embarrassment.

Xiaoli glanced at Shen Xin, and her mood was equally complicated. In June and July last year, she met Shen Xin, but she didn't expect that in just six months, Shen Xin had already stood at the top of the magazine's cartoonists, and the rise was too fast.

At this time, the elevator door opened, Yan Fei walked out of the elevator, saw Xiaoli standing outside the living room with a document bag, and asked, "Xiaoli, what's wrong?" ”

"I didn't ...... I just received the manuscript. Xiaoli patted the file bag and walked towards the editorial office in a panic.

Yan Fei was confused, but she didn't have time to think about this, walked to Shen Xin and the editor-in-chief, and said softly, "Editor-in-chief, Mr. Shen, the president is already waiting for the two of you in the conference room, and the assistant to the president is also there." ”

"Assistant to the president? Who is he? Shen Xin was surprised, he didn't plan to communicate with the assistant president.

"Song Ren is the only son of the president, and the next president." Yan Fei reminded.

Shen Xin immediately understood that the so-called "assistant to the president" was actually a position deliberately set up to make Song Ren familiar with the operation of the magazine. When the time comes, he will take over the position of president.

Considering that the president's health is not very good, Shen Xin can also understand the president's thoughts.

Shen Xin's next book is not going to be serialized in "New World", so he is not interested in the successor of the president.

The three of them came to the outside of the conference room, and the editor-in-chief knocked on the door twice, and someone in the room immediately shouted "Come in".

The voice is full of confidence, not like an old man in poor health, and it should be the president's son who speaks.

The conference room is not too big, about 1/3 smaller than the editorial office, but there is an oval conference table, so there is no extra space.

At the far end of the conference table, there was an old man with gray hair and a kind face, and when he saw Shen Xin come in, he smiled and tapped his forehead.

Shen Xin also bowed slightly.

"Are you Shen Zheng?" A young man sitting next to the old man with his back combed asked Shen Xin.

"Yes."

Shen Xin glanced at the young man, who should be less than thirty years old, with an arrogant face.

Needless to say, this person is Song Ren.

"I used to look at photos, but today I finally see it alive." Song Ren laughed.

Yan Fei's face was gloomy, the editor-in-chief was slightly embarrassed, and Shen Xin sneered and looked at him coldly.

"What nonsense?" Song Tai slapped the table and glared at Song Ren fiercely, "You either go out now, or shut up for me." ”

Song Ren put away his smile and turned his head angrily.

Song Taichang took two long breaths to calm his mood, "Don't worry about the little guy's words. Feel free to sit. ”

Shen Xin didn't have the time to be angry with Song Ren, so he came to a position closer to Song Tai and pulled out a chair. The editor-in-chief and Yan Fei had different expressions and sat on both sides of Shen Xin.

"Okay, Mr. Shen, you said you want to see me and Lao Zhang, and now that we're all sitting here, let's just talk about anything?" Song Tae asked.

Song Ren leaned on the back of the chair depressedly, closed his eyes to recuperate, but his ears stood up.

"I want to compete for this year's 'Newcomer Award', what kind of support can the magazine provide?" Shen Xin got straight to the point.

"On the premise of ensuring the normal development of the magazine, we will do our best to help you." Song Tai said.

Shen Xin rubbed his chin, Song Tai's speech was very skillful.

The implication is that the magazine society helps Shen Xin, but because the magazine club still has to develop normally, it will have reservations.

There is nothing wrong with Song Tai's approach, after all, the magazine also needs to survive. And there are many examples of how a company can "die" when it does its best to do something.

It's like "Dragon Son", a veteran animation production company in District 11, because it wanted to produce an animation that shocked District 11, and later, "Dragon Child" went bankrupt because of this anime.

If Shen Xin was in Song Tai's position, he would make the same choice.

"What is the 'greatest help' that Mr. President said?" Shen Xin asked.

"Then it depends on how much help Mr. Shen needs." Song Tai didn't explain, and kicked the "ball" to Shen Xin again.

Shen Xin smiled, "I remember that Senior Sister Ji seems to have discussed a condition with the club, and when necessary, she will carry out a large-scale publicity of "Y's". There's this, right? ”

When Song Ren heard Shen Xin's words, his face changed slightly, "Of course not......"

"Shut up."

Song Tai glared at Song Ren, Song Ren blushed, snorted coldly, and turned his head.

Shen Xin frowned slightly, could there be any misunderstanding?

"Teacher Shen's statement is actually correct, but it is not quite accurate. Of course, it's not your fault, after all, you haven't read that contract either. We negotiated with Miss Thistle three times, and the final version of the contract was that she would give a major promotion to a New World manga over a three-year period if necessary, with Y's taking precedence over all the works.

"If you're not at ease, I can show you the contract. Of course, Miss Thistle is not wrong to say this, after all, the only comic that "New World" can get hold of is "Y's" for the time being. Song Tae explained.

Old fox.

Shen Xin nodded, the corners of his mouth upturned.

Needless to say, during the negotiations, Song Tae must have used "Y's" as an example to make Ji Yinxuan relax her vigilance. Shen Xin could even imagine the content of the contract.

Of course, Song Tai is definitely not for Shen Xin, this "cooperation" with Ji Yinxuan is not easy to come by, he attaches great importance to this contract and wants to maximize the role of this contract.

It is also said that Song Tai may agree to vigorously promote "Y's", but he also hopes to get Shen Xin's assurance, for example, that the next book will continue to be serialized in "New World".

"Let's put aside the matter of this contract and talk about it later. My request was simple, I needed the magazine to promote Y's twice. The first time, from now until the beginning of July, if the sales of "Y's" can be squeezed into the top 10 of the "Rookie List", it will be promoted for the second time from July. At that time, the magazine, me, and Senior Sister Ji, we sat together and talked about the rest of the matter. ”

The editor-in-chief's eyes widened, and Shen Xin actually had a direct showdown in front of the president.

The president smiled and nodded, "No problem." ”
