Across the literary and art world

Chapter 308 Reasons
As time passed, the sun became stronger and stronger, and a scorching feeling gradually brewed in the sun, and the conversation about inviting and being invited in front of the bulletin board was about to end.

"Hehe, then I won't say more. I've told you the matter, so I won't take up your time any longer. I'm leaving." Chen Kun smiled and said, and at the same time, his body showed signs of turning around.Lin Feng's attitude did not arouse him much emotion. I am old, and I am an academic leader. My hope is equivalent to an order. You have no choice, you must directly agree. Chen Kun can't do such a thing of relying on the old and selling the old.This has nothing to do with age, but only with self-cultivation and temperament. Chen Kun is not such a person in essence.

"Mr. Chen, go slowly." Lin Feng bowed slightly and said with a smile.A kind old man should be respected, not for anything else, only for the years they have passed.Even though their years were extremely ordinary, they were already extraordinary in that short period of time.

Chen Kun smiled and waved his hands, without saying much, he turned around and walked in the direction he came from. The cup of hot tea on the desk should be cold, so it's just right to go back and drink it.

Watching Chen Kun go a long way, Lin Feng took a breath, and then let it out, he had to think carefully about going to the New Year's Eve party, which was optional.If you want to go, you have to think about what song to sing. If you don't go, then naturally you don't think about anything, don't do it.

Turning his head to look at the bulletin board, Lin Feng turned around and took a step towards the apartment. Under the gaze of the sun, a very long shadow moved behind him step by step, overlapping with the shadows of other animals. Come on, go back to the apartment and rest first.

……

In the office hall of Jinghua Publishing House, it is still lively at the moment, but it is different from the bustle at the beginning of working hours. The sound of people, laughter and footsteps has nothing to do with work at this moment. Half of the morning time is gone, and halftime needs to be rested. Yes, although this rest may be more busy than work, but it is obvious that people are enjoying it, and the topics brought about by the sudden shut-up are not within the scope of consideration.Why bother to look ahead.

During the rest time, Song Ye didn't chat with Sister Zhang or talk to Liang Hongshi in an inexplicable but definitely not friendly tone at his own position. He just went to the second floor.

A building naturally has several floors, and the second floor is one of them.Originally, the materials used on the first floor, the second floor, the third floor, and even higher floors were all the same, and there was no difference, but in fact, the difference is really big, and the meaning of the floor is too profound. For example, in an office building, the floor represents status.Maybe it's because it takes more time to go upstairs than downstairs. The upstairs usually belongs to the leader. After all, it takes a long time for the leader to become the leader.

The second floor of Jinghua Publishing House is naturally no exception. The first floor belongs to ordinary staff like Song Ye, and the second floor is naturally occupied by the leader. It seems to be far away in the afternoon, but the morning is very close to the afternoon.

Boom, boom!In the depths of the second floor, Song Ye knocked on the door of the supervisor's office with two long and one short knocks on the relevant documents that had just been printed out.

"Please come in." The normal words in response to the knock on the door came out through the layers of weakening of the door and the wall. From the sound, Song Ye's supervisor was a lesbian.

After bowing his head and scanning his whole body to confirm that there was no problem, Song Ye straightened his collar, pushed the door and walked in, then turned around and closed the door, Xia Ri's dryness was ruthlessly rejected again.

"Just wait a minute, I'll finish processing this document soon." Hearing the door knock, the supervisor said without waiting for Song Ye to speak, without raising his head.Downstairs, her subordinates were enjoying their time off, but as a leader, she took some of her time off to read documents, which was really special.

Song Ye didn't speak, walked to the side, sat on half of the chair, and waited with his waist straight and his eyes straight ahead.

The supervisor didn't value Song Ye any more, wanted to promote him, and deliberately tested his character by making him wait. She was really dealing with documents.And she said this one was really fast.

"What's your business?" After signing and stamping the official seal on the end of the document in his hand, the supervisor raised his head and said.

"Director Xu, I have a contract that needs your approval." Song Ye, who was quite focused, hurriedly got up from his chair and walked to the desk, saying respectfully.

Between leaders and subordinates, respect is an attitude that cannot be omitted.

"Ask me for approval? I think the rights in your hands are not small. Just sign the contract and report it to the archives at the end. Go." Director Xu made a gesture of invitation, and issued an order to evict the guest indifferently, and at the same time He lowered his head and continued to look at a new document.

Let Song Ye leave without asking detailed questions. This does not mean that Supervisor Xu is not attentive in his work and does not take care of his subordinates' problems. In fact, Supervisor Xu is dedicated to all matters at work. They are more tiring than subordinates. For example, the executives of the publishing house, who can get along with them? The leaders like them can’t, there is no way, the timeliness of work is too time-sensitive, and they are all in the form of rushing. If things are missed, the loss is too great .Then why is she like this? It's very simple. The editor is not only responsible for negotiating with authors and literati, but also signing contracts. many.One person has to be responsible for so many documents a day, ten editors, one hundred, even if the contract that each editor needs to sign that day is only one-third of the number of people negotiating, the workload of so many people can be imagined , If they are all handed over to the superior supervisor, the situation faced by the supervisor can be imagined.

So these editors have a lot of power. To a certain extent, they can draw up a contract and sign it on behalf of the publishing house, and just report to the relevant department when the time comes.That's why Director Xu let Song Ye leave without asking.Of course, it’s only to a certain extent. If the editor signs the contract with the official seal, the publishing house will not admit it. Even if there is a lawsuit, the publishing house will win. Every article in the editor’s code is guaranteed by law. .As for the reason why Song Ye came to ask for instructions because the contract Song Ye was going to sign was beyond his scope of authority, Director Xu didn't think about it at all. A qualified and rational editor would not do such a thing. Song Ye had already done it. It has been nearly four years, and she believes that he is sensible. As for why he would make such a mistake and wander around in his office after working for nearly four years, Director Xu didn't think about it, there is no need for it, just come and leave She really didn't have the time to think about the reason behind it, she was too busy, how could she waste time on these trivial things.The actual distance between leaders and subordinates is often the width of a desk, but this width is wider than the sea.

However, this time her order was not carried out, and Song Ye did not leave.

"Director..." Song Ye was a little speechless. The other side of the chair was a little hot just now, but it got cold too quickly, so nothing has been said yet.

"What else do you need?" Director Xu raised his head to look at his subordinate, frowned slightly, and his tone was a little displeased. In a moment, he was ready to let Song Ye go out.

"Director, this matter has exceeded my scope of authority." Feeling the displeasure of the leader, Song Ye, who was extremely helpless in his heart, did not think of retreating. The leader of the company will not go too far; but if he quits, he may lose a lot in this life, whichever is more important, Song Ye also has a steelyard in his heart, and he is very accurate in measuring gains and losses.

"The conditions raised by the other party are too high?" Director Xu frowned even deeper, but this time it was not because Song Ye refused to leave, but because the conditions raised were beyond the scope of the editor's authority. Authors dared to raise conditions like this , in her impression, there is only one situation, the author has this popularity, and then conducts an action of the same level as arrogance - asking for a price by name, such a person, such a thing, she hates it, because it is a waste of her time , It was her plan that was disrupted, and her subordinates didn't have the right to do so!

"It's very high. These are the documents I sorted out. One was submitted by him first, and the other was submitted after I asked him to change it." Song Ye nodded, and put the first two documents in his hands together. Handed it up.

Looking at Song Ye's wry smile, Director Xu took the two pieces of paper from Song Ye's hand and read them carefully.

Song Ye was not talking either, and stood silently watching his nose, nose, nose, nose, and heart, and the supervisor's office suddenly fell silent.

Quiet, with the passage of time, it became more and more dignified. After reading the manuscripts in his hand one by one, Supervisor Xu frowned more and more, and a wave of anger was brewing.

Snapped!
Director Xu slapped the manuscript on the table with great weight and force.

"It's too much, one is more than one, you still give me such a condition, are you still going to sign a contract with him?" Supervisor Xu looked at Song Ye and said in a deep voice. Although he is a lesbian, his momentum at the moment is exceptional It's serious, you can see it and hear it, her dissatisfaction is quite considerable.Free [-], can you sell [-], or give away [-] without the fifth edition, after the tax is paid, it is really a lion who is not afraid to open his mouth!

"Director, I think this author's work has great potential, and he agreed to hand over the permanent publishing rights to our agency. I don't think the sales volume of this book will be a few tens of thousands..." Song Ye held Xu The authority of the supervisor explained.

Before he could speak, Supervisor Xu interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Who is the author?"

"I only know the surname Lin, but I don't know anything else." Song Ye said awkwardly.It's really hard to tell the superiors to sign a contract without even knowing the full name of the other party!

After hearing Song Ye's words, Supervisor Xu didn't speak, but leaned back on the chair and stared at Song Ye, as if he was about to see a flower from Song Ye.If it wasn't for her inappropriate status, she really wanted to yell, "What do you know?"Is this trying to make her happy?Still really don't want to do it.

Song Ye broke the silence after being watched by the supervisor as if he was cherishing it for a while.

"Director, I've seen the work, it's really good. This is the work." Song Ye again took two documents from the documents he was holding and handed them to the supervisor.

"Facing up to my own fears, there may be many, don't worry, two articles?" Taking the paper and looking away, Director Xu looked at Song Ye, the meaning was obvious, give me an explanation.

"Director, don't you think these two topics are very familiar?" Song Ye said with a guiding nature. He decided not to say it directly. It is better to see what he thinks clearly and profoundly.It is natural to understand it deeply, and it is natural to deal with leaders in special situations.

"Facing up to my fears, there may be many..." After pondering for a few seconds, Director Xu raised his head and said, "This is a blog post about a bowl of soup from a blogger? What is this one?"

Manager Xu separated the two pieces of paper in his hand and placed them on the table, pointing.The question is "Maybe a lot, don't worry".

"This is also a blog post by a blogger of a bowl of soup, it was published last night." Song Ye said.

"Oh, he published these hundreds of words last night?" Director Xu nodded and said.

"Yes, supervisor." Song Ye replied.

"Is the person you want to sign a bowl of soup? His surname is Lin?" Director Xu asked as if confirming, but there was a sense of certainty between the lines in his words. Yes, she was asking the question knowingly, and she needed time to think clearly.

Director Xu, who was also very concerned about the blog of a bowl of soup, didn't let go of his brows. Even if she publishes text and sells knowledge in wholesale, she is also a businessman, and a businessman should do what a businessman should do.She appreciates the two essays about a bowl of soup, but appreciation does not mean that she can agree to those conditions. After all, it is too much, and the loss of interests is a bit big.

"Yes, supervisor." Song Ye nodded, his voice was very calm, he was ready, and he said a long paragraph to convince his superior that he was ready.In fact, he had already made preparations before coming here, but now he was more determined. After all, those conditions were too absurd and too much. If he didn't want to fight hard, he would not be willing to do so.In life, people have to make choices, and have to take a few steps towards the edge of the flaming mountain.

"Although a bowl of soup is also a celebrity, well, a celebrity who is famous for a while, he is qualified to talk about conditions, but he does not have these conditions for the time being. Moreover, there are only two articles, when will the book be published, and the quality of the following short articles Can you guarantee it?" Director Xu said after combining the paper of the short essay and the paper of the condition, pressing it with a pen.Her meaning was clear and clear at this moment.

"Mr. Lin said that the total number of articles is about [-], and the manuscript can be fully delivered in three months, and the quality can be guaranteed." Song Ye said, there should have been a pause at this point, but he continued without him. He wants to convince the supervisor.There is only one chance, and being reluctant is the key to grasping it or not.

"I think the character of the person who can write such concise and short works can be believed. Literati always have a disease. Although some literati don't have it, most of them have it after all. I believe that the book of these short essays will have great potential in the future. Even this book will become a long-lasting sales myth in the future. The conditions proposed by Mr. Lin are slightly excessive, but I think it is completely acceptable. Our agency is just making less money. There is no loss, and there will be no loss. There is such an opportunity, I think we should seize it, and I hope you can agree to let me handle this matter."

After finishing the words in his heart, Song Ye's heart did not relax, but was still a little heavy, because saying this was not the point, nor was it the source of the heaviness in his heart.The supervisor's next attitude is the key point, and it is the key point that determines whether the heaviness in his heart will become heavier or can be relaxed.

"There are a lot of me in your words. It seems that you have full confidence in a bowl of soup, whether it is in his blog posts or his words. Maybe you didn't come to me this time. For instructions, from the moment you walked in, you have changed from an editor to a lobbyist, in order to let me agree to you signing this contract." Director Xu ignored the content of Song Ye's words , she just paid attention to the surface of Song Ye's words. Lesbian observations are always so subtle, especially when she is serious.

Hearing Director Xu's words, Song Ye fell silent. Is he really confident?For a blogger who only knows his surname but not his name, and said that there are only two out of [-] articles, no, his confidence is not very sufficient, at least when Lin Feng put forward the conditions, his confidence is not what he showed That's enough, because the conditions are a bit harsh.However, he must be full of confidence. This is an opportunity, an opportunity that was obtained after sending dozens of private messages, and it is a rare opportunity in life.

"Director, the potential of a bowl of soup is full. I firmly believe in this. Maybe we can't sell it for millions at a time, but we won the permanent publishing rights, and we will definitely make a profit." Song Ye said.

"If I remember correctly, your name should be Song Ye. You have been here for almost four years."

Song Ye had been in the office for so long, and Director Xu mentioned Song Ye's name for the first time.

"Yes, supervisor." Song Ye was not overwhelmed by flattery. He knew his family affairs, and he knew what his supervisor knew about every subordinate.

"Four years, that is to say, you have been in the society for four years." Director Xu nodded and said.

"Yes, supervisor." Although he didn't know what the supervisor meant, Song Ye still nodded.

"Then you should know that what you believe is sometimes just expressed verbally, especially when you believe in something in the future. So..." Director Xu said calmly.

"So this time I believe you, I don't understand, can you give me an explanation?"

Song Ye heaved a sigh of relief. What he continued in his mind for the supervisor made his heart stop for a few seconds. He was a little thankful that the supervisor was not him.

However, his anger didn't relax for a long time, and he continued to restrain himself, because the supervisor wanted an explanation, and the explanation was the reason, the reason why he believed that books had great potential and a bowl of soup.

Just, is there a reason for this?

　Five thousand.

　　Silent, I don't know what to say, a little confused
