As soon as I stepped out of the elevator door, I sensed that something was wrong. Sure enough, the moment I opened the door to the newsroom, I was surprised to find that the open-plan office was empty, and the silence was chilling.

How so? As I looked around in surprise and suspicion, a head poked out of the conference room.

"Hurry up!" Luo Xiang, who was in charge of typesetting and printing, lowered his voice and urged.

"Oh!" Under his cover, I crept into the conference room and shrank behind the associate editor with my head bowed.

"Have you all arrived?"

I immediately recognized that it was the new president who was questioning.

The editor-in-chief, who has always had a rigorous style, stood up and glanced at everyone before replying: "Except for a few colleagues who are on vacation, they are all there." ”

"Great, in order not to delay everyone's time, let's get straight to the topic."

Hearing this, many people showed shocked expressions. After all, the president's office is located in the editorial office, and whether he wants to or not, he will inevitably have regular contact with us in the future. However, he didn't even bother to make a few polite words to us, which was too arrogant and rude.

"Before the editor-in-chief and associate editor-in-chief give instructions on the revision of the sample book, I would like to hear what other colleagues have to say about the sample book...... Luo Gong, please tell me what you think. ”

"Huh?" Luo Xiang, who was sitting next to me, jumped up in fright.

"Blame me for not making it clear to everyone in advance. Due to time constraints, we will not be able to give everyone the opportunity to speak at today's meeting, so I would appreciate your understanding......"

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused everyone's dissatisfaction. After all, everyone has long been accustomed to dozing off while listening to the editor-in-chief talk in meetings, so why bother preparing to speak?

"Too unlucky...... Why did you pick me? Luo Xiang complained softly.

Although Luo Xiang was very close to me, because he deliberately made his words vague, I never listened to what he said. Without waiting for the president to ask questions, Luo Xiang sat down by himself, apparently deliberately trying to embarrass the president. In this regard, the deputy editor-in-chief glared at him fiercely, and I couldn't help but feel embarrassed for him.

"If there are no objections, I will move on to the next colleague...... Of course, self-nominations are also welcome. The president added lightly.

As soon as the words fell, the conference room suddenly became silent. It seems that everyone is just as scared as I am of being called by the president's name.

Of course, like everyone else, I don't want to attract the attention of the president and become the "chosen one", but I can't help but wonder about the appearance of the president, who has caused public anger when he first arrives. So, while the president was focusing on the other "lucky winner", I quietly adjusted my posture and looked over the shoulders of the associate editor to the other end of the long table.

I saw that the president in a dark blue suit had fair skin, good facial features, bright eyes, straight shoulders and back, and a gentle and elegant temperament, which made people feel good. Unexpectedly, the new president was unexpectedly handsome, and I couldn't help but let out a light sigh. The deputy editor-in-chief glanced back at me, leaving me ashamed. I hurriedly tried to withdraw my gaze, but somehow I unexpectedly met the president's gaze. When I saw a smile on the corner of the president's mouth, I felt my heart jumping. Don't ...... I hurriedly ducked back behind the deputy editor-in-chief and prayed to heaven in secret.

"Next...... I would like to ask Li Gong to answer a few of my questions. "I don't know if it was intentional or not, the president paused for a while before saying the next candidate, which really scared me half to death.

"President, I'm here." Li He, who majored in computer science, was originally a member of the engineering department. He is straightforward and righteous, often works overtime to solve technical problems for the editorial department, and has a very good relationship with us. A few months ago, the editor-in-chief finally agreed to submit an application to transfer him to the editorial department to run the publishing house's website.

"I want to put the book on the Internet for paid browsing, what do you expect to be technically difficult?"

Listening to the president's words, a whisper rang out in the office.

"He thinks beautifully, he wants to develop the e-book business before he even sits down in the chair, it's really beyond his means......" Luo Xiang snorted angrily.

"There are too many ways to take screenshots, and I'm afraid it's hard to avoid the leakage of book content." Li He replied with a serious face.

"Taking pictures, scanning, and physical books are also at risk of leakage. It's not a problem that technology can solve......" the president replied in a calm tone.

"It does ......"

"The launch of the online version can broaden the readership market and reduce various costs, and I hope that Li Gong can help promote this project."

"It's white, I will go to the finance as soon as possible to connect with the payment problem."

Li Hecai sat down, and the new president turned to the deputy editor-in-chief: "I heard that the English poems of the deputy editor-in-chief are very well written. ”

I stared at my brother's back in surprise, my mind full of questions. All I know is that he studied English for several years in order to correspond with his sister who was studying abroad, but when did he become a poet? What's even more strange is how did the new president learn about this thing that even I don't know?

"Amateur interest is not good." The senior brother replied without any emotion.

"In view of the fact that Cang Yu also has many loyal readers abroad, I plan to start compiling an overseas edition in the near future, and then Deputy Editor-in-Chief Lao will bother to create it."

"Wouldn't it be easier to translate the original Chinese verses into English?" Someone suggested.

"If you want to keep the original charm of the translation, you need a lot of writing skills. If we have a talent like the associate editor, why bother to go far? ”

Even I could hear the president's voice - it costs money to ask someone else to write, and it is free for the deputy master to write it. Sure enough, he graduated from the Department of Economics and Management...... I peeked at my senior brother who couldn't bear it, and secretly snickered.

After listening to the editor-in-chief talk for a full hour, the torturous meeting finally came to an end. In order to avoid complications, everyone rushed to escape the conference room, and did not want to stay for a long time. With the associate editor watching me, I didn't dare to participate in the crowd without losing face, so I had to stand still, waiting for the crowd to disperse.

"Yin Ran, please wait for a visit to my office." Suddenly, the president's voice came from behind me.

"What's the matter?" Before I could react, my brother answered for me.

"I'd like to hear her opinion on the sample book......," the president replied modestly.

"On a cloudy afternoon, you'll receive a summary report of suggested changes to your sample book. There shouldn't be any need for her to talk about her opinions alone until then. Senior brother said coldly.

"Then I'll talk about it when I'm done reading the report......" The president smiled at me, looking a little lost.

Somehow, my heart was a little uncomfortable. Associate Editor-in-Chief...... President, I still have work to do. Before I could finish speaking, I ran out of the conference room.
