Chapter 85: Resignation
Wang Wenhong stayed awake all night.
After learning about the sales of the two comics, Chen Zijiao's anger completely exploded.
Facing such Chen Zijiao, Wang Wenhong felt tired from the bottom of his heart.
On the occasion of parting, Wang Wenhong told Chen Zijiao, "Since I took the challenge, I should be mentally prepared to lose to Shen Xin." β
"Nonsense, didn't you let me compete with him in the first place?" Chen Zijiao stiffened his neck and said.
"That's right, because I can see that this is your only chance to win the Newcomer Award." Wang Wenhong said patiently.
"Go to the TMD Newcomer Award, now there's nothing! I've become like this, and you dare to say that you are not responsible? Chen Zijiao said sharply.
Wang Wenhong's mouth opened slightly, and he looked at Chen Zijiao in dismay, and after about ten seconds, he nodded, "That's right, it's my responsibility, after all, a good card is not played well." I'm sorry. β
Wang Wenhong bowed solemnly to Chen Zijiao.
"Take care."
"...... All tmd me out! The Weibo that made me admit defeat, I would never post it, and I would not die! Chen Zijiao smashed the G pen in his hand on Wang Wenhong's body.
Wang Wenhong frowned, glanced at Chen Zijiao dissatisfied, did not speak, and turned to leave.
After returning home, Wang Wenhong sat on the chair, not sleepy, reflecting on the journey of more than half a year.
"Crumbling" is in his hands, from the hot signature comic to this step by step, he has an unshirkable responsibility, but the reason, he must figure out.
When it was almost dawn, Wang Wenhong took out his notebook and wrote his thoughts one by one on Word.
This is the first time Wang Wenhong has been late for work, and as soon as he entered the editorial department, he could clearly feel that everyone's eyes were swept towards him.
"That...... Xiao Wang, President Luo is looking for you. The editor-in-chief coughed lightly, lowered his head, and did not look at Wang Wenhong.
"Got it."
Wang Wenhong took out the documents printed in the morning from his document bag, turned around and left the editorial office.
The moment he walked out of the editorial office, there was a muffled discussion in the editorial office.
Although Wang Wenhong couldn't hear what they were talking about, he could guess that the content of the conversation was related to him and Chen Zijiao.
Before coming to the president's office, Wang Wenhong just knocked on the door twice, and the sound of "please come in" came from the office.
He pushed the door open, and a young man sitting behind a desk looked up.
"Sit down." The young man pointed to the chair opposite, "It's okay to call you here." I also think it's a pity to lose the showdown with Y's, but it's not the end of the world, and there will be a chance in the future. β
Wang Wenhong nodded, but did not sit down, "President, this matter is caused by my negligence, and I am willing to take all the responsibility." β
"There is no such thing as a person who does not make mistakes. In the final analysis, I am also responsible, it was I who was too anxious to hand over Chen Zijiao to you. It would probably be much better if you asked the old editor to help you. β
"I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"Well, "Crumbling" is still a month away, and you won't be in charge of this comic for a while. This has just happened, and it will be embarrassing for you to meet with Mr. Chen, so it is better for the two of you to be separated for a while and then prepare for the next comic. β
"President, when I came home from Mr. Chen, I thought a lot about it and deeply realized my shortcomings in many aspects. So, I summarized the gains and losses since I became the editor in charge of "Crumbling", including my change of mindset and some fatal mistakes. Anyway, it's all written in the document, so if you feel like you have time, you can take a look at it. β
"Hmm. I will. Luo Zhi took the document handed by Wang Wenhong, and touched the thickness with his fingers, there should be five or six pages, "Is there anything else?" β
"Yes." Wang Wenhong took a deep breath and looked up at Luo Zhi.
"Say."
Wang Wenhong took out an envelope from the inner pocket of his suit and put it on the desk, "President, this is my resignation." β
"Resignation?" Luo Zhi's brows furrowed, and he looked at Wang Wenhong sharply, "Take it back, I won't accept it." β
"I'm not going to take it back." Wang Wenhong shook his head and said, "Today's situation, it is not an exaggeration to say that I caused it single-handedly. Because of my arrogance, I missed Shen Xin, and then I was too indulgent to Chen Zijiao, which made the results of "Crumbling" fall step by step. Including this duel, it can be regarded as a one-handed promotion by me, and it is estimated that some people in the magazine have already said that I am a bastard who eats inside and out. You need to give an account to other people, right? β
"Since you feel responsible, you should prove yourself again!" Luo Zhi knocked on the table twice.
"President, I've made up my mind, I'm sorry." Wang Wenhong bowed deeply, "If you're okay, I'll go back and pack my things first." β
Luo Zhi watched Wang Wenhong leave the office, his brows furrowed, and his palm suddenly slammed on the table.

"Y's surpassed Crumbling in total sales, with 180,000 copies in a single book." Jian Xiaomei took off Ye Hexu's headphones and explained.
"Huh? You don't know until now? I have already posted on Weibo to congratulate Mr. Shen. Ye Hexu raised his head and looked at Jian Xiaomei.
"What? When? Jian Xiaomei had a headache, and what she was most worried about was that Ye Hexu posted on Weibo privately without saying hello to her.
Who knows what he will write?
"Three or four o'clock in the morning?" Ye Hexu said.
It's three or four o'clock in the morning, right?
Jian Xiaomei rolled her eyes depressedly.
"Mr. Shen's painting is really amazing, with only two assistants, he can draw two words in a week, which I can't do. The storyboard is also very good, especially the color page of the last issue, which is very high-quality, and many people are right. Ye Hexu said.
"You shouldn't have commented on it too, did you?" Jian Xiaomei immediately became alert.
"Nope. It's a fair matchup and I'm not going to be involved in it. Ye Hexu bared his teeth and smiled, "It's really not easy for a love comic to sell 180,000 copies in a week." Teacher Su and Xiao Jumping's "Crime and Punishment" is also good, selling 300,000 copies. β
Seeing Ye Hexu's spirit shimmering, Jian Xiaomei also breathed a sigh of relief, Ye Hexu was too casual, and she sometimes couldn't understand his style of doing things.
"The latest issue of the questionnaire came out, and this issue, the ranking of "Hunting Abyss" finally surpassed "Crime", which should be related to the protagonist getting the certification of a hunter. Readers are looking forward to how the protagonist will behave after entering the hunting area. Jian Xiaomei took the name handed over by Ye Hexu, and concisely summarized the suggestions on the questionnaire.
"No problem, from this issue onwards, I will firmly sit in the third place - by the way, Jian Xiaomei, the single line of "Hunting the Abyss" should have come out, right?"
"It was released in the first week after the year, when the students had New Year's money, which was conducive to the release of "Hunting Abyss"."
"The first 400,000 copiesβ"
"Impossible! The sales department has been notified that the first 150,000 copies will be released. Jian Xiaomei tapped Ye Hexu's head with name.
"150,000 is 150,000, right? But, you'll regret it. Ye Hexu put on his headphones again.
Who are "you"? I'm with you!
Jian Xiaomei puffed out her cheeks and forcibly resisted the urge to take off Ye Hexu's headphones.
