The news brought by Ling Jingsu's assistant can be said to have shocked the three people in the office.

The strongest reaction is precisely the hole that wants to increase the manuscript fee by stepping on "Love and Sex".

Kong Lu's tone and attitude when he spoke just now still seemed neither humble nor arrogant, of course, because the popularity of "Desire for Life" made him full of confidence, but now he was a little angry and incredulous: "How is this possible? "Love and Sex" sold only a little bit in the previous week, and now it has sold 10,000 copies all at once? It's! ”

Ling Jingsu's assistant was too lazy to talk nonsense, and only let him read the "World Journal" by himself.

However, the people who could read "World Journal" first were of course Wang Defu and Ling Jingsu, so that Kong Lu could only scratch his ears and cheeks on the side, and he was impatient.

Wang Defu and Ling Jingsu quickly understood why the sales of "Love and Sex" had skyrocketed all of a sudden, it turned out that it had actually entered the eyes of the literary bigwig He Shouchang, and the other party wrote a long article for the interpretation of the novel with great care, and also complained fiercely about the appearance design of the novel and the sparse publicity before the launch......

He Shouchang believes that it is clear that the work "Love and Sex" can become popular instantly after it is listed, but the publisher's operation is too spicy and underestimates the value of this work, so he suggests that "Ms. Yiren", a new writer, it is best to change to a publishing house, signing a contract with a big publishing house is the king, and small publishing houses are all cheats.

Ling Jingsu first read He Shouchang's "The Boundary between Light and Heavy - Interpreting "Love and Sex" in My Eyes, and felt honored, after all, Wang Defu's works can be favored by such a heavyweight literary bigwig, which shows that her own vision is not bad, and she has attracted such a talented writer who was born out of thin air in advance.

But seeing He Shouchang's complaint in the back, she was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to get into, she had always felt that it was Wang Defu who made it herself, which led to the sales of "Love and Sex", she didn't have to take any responsibility, and now she found out that she had made a mistake herself!

She mistakenly regarded "Love and Sex" as a popular novel of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School, and designed its single book with this idea and went public without any publicity, which is obviously cheating "Love and Sex"!

This kind of behavior is probably like putting Mo Yan's Nobel Prize-winning novel on the shelves for sale...... It's strange that the subscription can be high!

She should treat "Love and Sex" as that kind of pure literary work, ask a literary big man like He Shouchang to write the preface, and there should be a book waist cover on the cover of the book, with the words "Passion and Sex" who is highly recommended by the big writer, this is the correct way to open the sales of "Love and Sex"!

Ling Jingsu almost apologized to Wang Defu in person at this time, but thinking that the other party didn't want to admit that she was "Ms. Yiren", she held back stiffly, and said directly to her assistant: "Don't worry about the printing of "Love and Sex", redesign the appearance of "Love and Sex", invest more costs, and make a hardcover version is the most important thing. In addition, it should be added to the waist cover of the book, which should write that He Shouchang strongly recommends such content, and extract appropriate testimonials from the article in the "World Journal". ”

"Okay, I'll do it right away!" The assistant said with some excitement, ""Love and Sex" can be highly recommended by a big figure in the literary world like He Shouchang, and our magazine may be more famous. ”

When Ling Jingsu heard this, her expression was still cold, in front of people other than Wang Defu, she was like an iceberg that would not change for thousands of years, maybe she felt that this was very conducive to establishing her authority in the company.

As the sales of "Red Rose" are getting better and better, Ling Jingsu's original small workshop-like publishing company has further expanded its scale and recruited more employees, of course, mostly women, just because many men immediately fled as soon as they heard that they were going to work in a company where a woman was the boss of the company, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Maybe these men think they are more backbone, and they are literati, so they can't lower their arrogant heads at all, but those literate employees who are responsible for doing chores for the company and running errands do physical work do not have this kind of psychological pressure, and feel that there is no shame in working under women, as long as they have money.

And because there are more female employees in the company, this also inexplicably produces a cohesion of "who says that women are not as good as men", like Ling Jingsu's assistant just now, who really regards the development of the company as his own career, and is very happy to see everything that is conducive to the development of the company.

When Ling Jingsu instructed his assistant, Kong Lu, the author of "Desire for Life", looked at "World Journal" without believing it, he looked at it, and there was a look of envy, jealousy and hatred on his face, thinking that one day, his work could be highly recommended by such a big guy?

After Ling Jingsu finished instructing the assistant, she didn't care that Kong Lu was still reading the newspaper, she just said in an extremely cold tone: "I don't know where you found out about the price of the author of "Love and Sex", but now you can also see that the prestige that this work brings to the magazine is not comparable to your work, it is completely worthy of the price given by the magazine, if your work can also be highly recommended by an academician of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and a professor of the literature department of a famous university, then of course I will happily increase the price for you." ”

Kong Lu can no longer put on a posture that is neither humble nor arrogant, he sneered: "How can I write such a level of work......

When Kong Lu was about to retreat in shame, Ling Jingsu softened his tone and said: "The popularity of "Desire for Life" is still very good, as long as you finish writing this work well, and the next one will maintain such popularity, then it is reasonable to raise the price for you again, so don't be anxious." ”

When Kong Lu heard this, he felt that the female editor-in-chief was not so cold, so he arched his hand and left helplessly.

At this time, only Ling Jingsu and Wang Defu were left in the office.

Ling Jingsu closed the office door and locked it, and then came to Wang Defu, but the cold appearance just now no longer existed, but turned into a girl who was humble to the dust, she hugged one of the man's hands, shook it gently, and said softly: "Mocun, I was wrong......
