"Eh, have you heard, our company is about to be acquired."

"Really? I've only been on leave for two days and haven't come, so why am I going to change owners? ”

"Truth or falsehood aside, I think your word 'company' is quite ridiculous, we are a small workshop, it is difficult to even pay wages on time every month, how embarrassed to call the company."

"Don't intervene yet, I also listened to Editor-in-Chief Wang, didn't he leave his job two days ago? I asked him and found out that someone had contacted our boss, saying that he was interested in acquiring our company, and it was because of this that Editor-in-Chief Wang left. ”

"Heh, he definitely has to go, after all, he is not a good person, and what he was able to do before is all dependent on the boss to protect him, if this new boss is a person with vision and ability, he must be the first to open him when he sees him."

"How many of you can be bosses are good people? Not to mention having the strength to acquire the company, but if you can look at our small workshop, it is estimated that it will not be a big man. ”

"Alas,Now the online literature industry is getting more and more difficult to do.,I knew that I might as well be an honest author.,Although the manuscript fee is not much.,But write a few more books to accumulate fame.,Maybe I can be a god in the future.,As a result, I just ran to be an editor.,It's really funny."

"You can pull it down, just those two times, and a book to seal the gods, writing ten years is a street."

"I'd better write out the resignation report first, and see if I can find another website to be an editor, and if it doesn't work, I'll have to change careers."

"It's estimated that it's enough, now the online article is basically occupied by those big websites, and there is no shortage of talents, just our resume, you will give it for nothing."

"What a fate......

“……”

In a small company with "Cucumber Literature Co., Ltd.", several employees are getting together to talk to each other, and their words are full of helplessness about the current situation and confusion about the future.

It's no wonder, after all, as employees of a company that focuses on the Internet, they know very well how bad their situation is.

The Internet flourished 20 years ago, and although it has not had much heritage and accumulation so far, it has also become a huge cake under the vigorous development of these years.

Especially in today's online age, people can't do without the Internet for almost everything.

Living, working, eating, traveling...... The web already encompasses everything about people, and that includes entertainment, of course.

Some people say that this is an era of entertainment to death, and the booming economy has made more and more people start to covet pleasure.

Some people like to eat and drink, some people like to jump and sing, some people like to wash their feet and massage, and some people like yacht happy.

However, it's all a way for the rich to have fun.

This society seems to be glamorous, as if everyone walking on the street is sophisticated, fashionable and well-dressed, but that is just a false appearance.

In this world, there will always be many more poor people than rich people, but even if you are poor, spiritual enjoyment is indispensable.

Rich people have rich people's ways of enjoying themselves, and people without money naturally have their ways of enjoying themselves.

Among them, it is a way of satisfying pleasure for a small amount of money - of course, sometimes it depends on luck, because if you don't keep reading that book, you will never know whether the next page of that book will be a golden house, a beautiful jade, or a page of toilet paper smeared with arsenic.

In short, there are many people who like it now, and if there is demand, there will naturally be a market, so more and more people are writing.

Some of the ideas are wild, and some of the writing is mature and gorgeous - due to the low barrier to entry, various types of networks have sprung up one after another on the Internet, which also attracts more and more people to join them.

As a result, authors and readers become a chain that complements each other in this industry.

There is no doubt that because of the low barrier to entry, there are many people who write about it, and because it consumes much less than other forms of entertainment, there are also many people.

In this way, it is certain that the cake that the Internet has become is still very large.

However, the bigger the pie, the easier it is to be coveted.

The development of the network is not long, but there is never a shortage of people with vision in this world, which leads to the fact that there are leading enterprises in the field of the network today, and in recent years, some rising stars have frequently emerged to eat up this piece of cake.

In other words, the web has been eaten up by the iconic big websites, and the small websites simply don't have the ability to compete with it, so naturally it is declining.

For example, these migrant workers who are sighing in the office at this time are the editors of the "Cucumber Chinese Network" run by their company.

The reason why they joined this industry is because they have an interest and love for the Internet, and the reason why they joined this company, which they call a small workshop, is because big business does not want them.

Under the pressure of those big companies, small companies like they belong can only shiver, barely able to eat a little bit of leftovers peeking out of the fingernails of big enterprises.

This made them more and more stressful, and when they heard the news that the company was about to be acquired, they were even more confused about the future.

After all, it's hard to guess what kind of person the new boss will be and what his plans will be.

Do you want to lead the company to make the website better and better, or simply change to another website to operate?

Will they keep their old employees, or will there be a big change to fire them all?

The employees present are not very old, and the oldest one is not more than 30 years old, but from graduating from college to now, they have long been smoothed out by life, and after working for many years, they have also worn out the original love for them.

After all, as website editors, they are tasked with every day.

Inside, you may see gold that will make your eyes shine, but most of it is arsenic-coated toilet paper.

This is especially true on large websites, let alone small websites.

As a result, when they eat too much arsenic toilet paper, they can't say how much they love it, at least they don't care so much about whether the new boss will concentrate on running the website or transforming the website, but more concerned about whether they will be fired.

Maybe they're tired of the job now, but if they could, who would want to just change careers?

After all, they have been doing this job for a long time, and they already have enough experience and skills, although they don't love much now, but they still have some feelings in their hearts.

It's just that now everything is unknown, and they can only complain during discussions, and then wonder if they should find a new job from tomorrow onwards.

At this time, a girl was a little bored, stood up and said, "I'm annoyed, I'll go down to breathe, and buy a cup of coffee by the way, do you want to?" ”

"No, I'm not in the mood right now."

"I don't need to."

"Go early and come back early, I heard that the new boss will come over in the next two days, so it's not today."

"I'm too lazy to care," the girl rolled her eyes and gestured to leave.

Seeing this, a young boy hurriedly got up and said, "Ziqi, I'll help you buy it, what do you want to drink?" ”

"Am I in it for that cup of coffee? I'm here to get out and breathe! ”

"Then I'll accompany you?"

"No!"

The girl didn't appreciate it, and left without looking back.

Seeing this, the boy could only sit down stupidly, and the smile on his face was a little bitter in embarrassment.

Seeing this, the colleague on the side comforted him: "If you like it, confess, otherwise when the new boss comes, in case we are all fired, there will be no chance to meet after that, and you can't find anyone if you want to confess." ”

"I ...... Hehe, forget it," the boy shook his head, but he still couldn't muster that courage after all.

When other people saw this, they didn't bother to say anything, after all, they are still unable to protect themselves, how can they have the energy to care about other people's emotional problems?

After all, everyone is just a colleague, not a friend, so you can get by on face.

On the other side, a girl named Huang Ziqi took the elevator all the way to the first floor, and was just about to stride out, but she bumped into a broad chest head-on.

Huang Ziqi didn't know why the person opposite was so hard, like a big rock, under his own impact, people didn't even move, but he was knocked and stumbled, his ankle twisted and screamed directly, and his body fell to the side.

At the critical moment, a big hand grabbed her wrist, which helped her stabilize her figure, which prevented her from falling directly to the ground.

Huang Ziqi was already a little depressed, but he couldn't suppress the fire in his heart all of a sudden, and when he opened his mouth, he scolded and scolded: "You don't have long eyes when you walk!" ”

As she spoke, she stared at the front with a pair of big eyes, but when she saw the face of the person opposite, her anger on her face could not be maintained, and it was replaced by a look of surprise and disbelief.

"You...... You are ......"

She couldn't believe it, after all, she had seen the handsome face in front of her countless times on the Internet, especially the live broadcast of "The Voice of Creation" she watched a few nights ago, and when this man appeared in the camera, she was even more surprised.

The reason is also very simple, that is, she is a fan of this man, and it can be said that she is a hardcore fan.

It's just that she never expected that she would never expect to meet her idol one day, but when she saw it coldly, she scolded others when she opened her mouth.

That's really ...... It's embarrassing and makes you want to reopen in place.

Fortunately, Qin Luo was not angry because of her rudeness, on the contrary, he also cared in a slightly apologetic voice: "I'm sorry, I was standing too far forward just now, are you okay?" ”

Faced with Qin Luo's sudden concern, Huang Ziqi couldn't help but blush, lowered his head and hesitated for a while: "I'm ...... That one...... You ......"

She didn't know what to say, so she thought about running away, but just as she was about to move, there was a tingling pain in her ankle, although it was not strong, but it still made her show a somewhat painful expression.

"Is it a twisted foot?" Qin Luo asked, and then said to Tang Yu on the side: "You go up and talk to Mr. Zhou casually first, and wait for me to go up and talk about it." ”

Tang Yu didn't speak, just glanced at Qin Luo with a little deep meaning and connotation, and then silently walked into the elevator.

As for Qin Luo, he naturally continued to play his warm side, took the initiative to help Huang Ziqi's shoulders and walked out, and said in a gentle voice: "There is a chair over there, I'll help you over there to rest for a while, and if the pain is severe, I'll send you to the hospital." ”

"No...... No need, just twisted a little, it doesn't hurt so much......" Huang Ziqi replied in a weak voice.

She let Qin Luo help her to walk to the bench, and she didn't even dare to raise her head during the whole process, only daring to sneak a glance at Qin Luo from the corner of her eye.

Until her butt was attached to the chair, she still kept her head down, her hands clasped on her knees, and she looked like a frightened little quail.

Qin Luo sat on the side and looked at him, and after a while, asked, "Did I scare you?" ”

"Nope!" Huang Ziqi replied subconsciously, and then felt that his voice seemed to be too loud, so he hurriedly lowered his volume and said weakly: "I...... That, you're my idol, I didn't expect to meet you here, so I'm a little excited......"

As far as she shows at this time, how can she describe it "slightly"?

However, hearing that she was his fan, this made Qin Luo curl the corners of his mouth, it was not that he was interested in hunting game, but that he had other purposes hidden in his heart.

"I just saw that you looked preoccupied, did you encounter any trouble?" He said in a gentle tone: "Since you happened to meet me, you can also talk to me if you have something on your mind, after all, you treat me as an idol." ”

Seeing that the man who was regarded as a person who was not from the same world at all in the past treated himself with such a gentle attitude, Huang Ziqi's CPU directly couldn't run normally, almost Qin Luo said whatever she asked, how could there be a little bit of the menacing look before?

So, she told the recent things in the company like a few treasures, and finally couldn't help complaining: "Originally, I wanted to apply for a big website, but people said that I had no work experience so they didn't want me, so I thought about finding a small company to increase my resume first, but I only encountered this thing within a few months, it's really annoying......"

After speaking, she seemed to react to something, and said apologetically to Qin Luo: "I'm sorry, I don't want to spit bitterness on you, it's just that I was in a really bad mood just now, and I accidentally scolded you, really...... I'm really sorry. ”
