Across the literary and art world

Chapter 366 Talking, Preaching

For a long time, many people have been in love with snow and its whiteness.

There are also many people who love the rain, and the beauty of it falling from the sky is intoxicating.The slant and straight line of the rain have their own style compared with the loose and crystal clear snowflakes.

Some people added some meaning to the snow. After a night of snow, the world is white, and some people say that it is completely clean.

Just, is this really clean?
The dust and injustice in the world are all under the snow, and the snow will eventually melt.

From this point of view, rain is better than snow, the dust between the sky and the earth is washed away by the subtle but continuous or violent but short-lived rain.

Hiding, after all, can't be hidden, only after washing it clean can it be truly clean in the end.

However, after all, rain is only the product of the change of air circulation under the sun, it is not a magic potion, what will happen, originates from the resentment, crooked thinking, etc. in the heart, after all, it is beyond its power.

People's hearts, in reality, after all, there is no medicine that can be cured or cured.

All kinds of emotions that should come will come after all, even if it is because of unforeseen events.

"Old Chen, the layout of your office is still the same as yesterday!" Walking into Chen Zhuo's office, Hong Guang said nonsense with a smile.

"Old Hong, what do you think the current layout should be?" Chen Zhuo said after taking a look at Hong Guang.

"This carpet, these tables and chairs should all be replaced with new ones, at least empty ones carved from mahogany, and this paperweight, it should be replaced with jade ones, and this tile and marble set, and This..." Hong Guang gesticulated in detail and carefully.Chen Zhuo's editor-in-chief's office has changed everything for him, but if it follows what he said, what does the editor-in-chief's office look like, how does it look like a palace?Moreover, it is not the prince's palace, but the emperor's.

Listening to Hong Guang's guidance, Chen Zhuo didn't speak, but just listened silently. Of course, he was not listening with all his attention, and only had a trace of energy manipulating his face to show a listening attitude.Most of his energy is in thinking, what should he say about this?Yesterday was too embarrassing, today is not so easy to say.When you are proud, you must not forget your form, otherwise it will not be easy to get it back.

There were not many things in the office, so it only took a short while for Hong Guang to give all instructions.

After pointing, Hong Guang said to Chen Zhuo.

"Old Chen, what do you think of this reform? Is it completely new?"

Moving his thoughts back to the present, Chen Zhuo was speechless to Hong Guang's words, and they were all replaced with new ones. Isn't it a new look, is it justified?
"It's very good." Chen Zhuo nodded first and said, "Just, Lao Hong, can you tell me where all these things you mentioned come from?"

"Huh?" Hearing Chen Zhuo's words, Hong Guang stared at Chen Zhuo for a moment, and then said with some surprise, "Spend money to buy in these stores, do you want to eat for free?"

"Where does the money come from?" Chen Zhuo continued to ask.

"Hehe." Before Hong Guang could speak, he laughed while watching Wang Jin who had been busy for a long time, "Old Chen, it's no fun pretending to be confused. The contract just notarized by the law firm, After calling Mr. Lin, it can be equivalent to a lot of gold. With a treasure house like a cornucopia in hand, the things that Lao Hong said should be in the immediate future for you, right?"

"Hehe, yes, after I'm done, it won't be a problem." After hearing Wang Jin's words, Chen Zhuo suddenly lost the spirit to continue teasing, and said softly.Appeared lifeless.

"Okay, old Chen, I'm not joking with you. You can call Mr. Lin. We will pour the tea ourselves. We will taste the tea and enjoy the rain and wait for your good news." Sitting down at yesterday's seat, Hong Guang smiled Said.At the same time, he picked up the teapot with his hands, turned over the three covered cups on the tea tray, took out yesterday's Longjing tea from under the coffee table, took some of it into the cups, and poured tea one by one.The staff in charge of logistics have rinsed and disinfected the cups.

Today's Hong Guang's subordinates are very merciful, and they didn't specially brew too much Longjing tea from Chen Zhuo. "The distribution and sales of "I'm afraid that there will be too much tea and it will not be brewed."Secondly, it was necessary for negotiations yesterday, and he needed to toss something on his mind to cool him down and increase the pressure.Today is considered a partner, forget it.It can be regarded as selling face slightly.

It's just that Chen Zhuo didn't feel the face he sold, and now Chen Zhuo still has the mind to feel the face he gave.Hong Guang was pouring water and didn't look at him, but the other person who was drinking tea and appreciating the rain was smiling and admiring him as a rain scene. Isn't the light rain outside the glass very nice? Why is my attraction so strong today? Still up?Chen Zhuo thought a little self-deprecatingly.

He knew what Wang Jin was looking at. He wasn't watching, he was waiting. When Chen Zhuo called, he would watch and call, and he cared about the content of the phone call.

It's just that this call was made just now, and now, what are you talking about?Moreover, the result is already known, and I can't even take out the phone, let alone take it out to dial.

"Hey, Lao Chen, why haven't you called yet? Forgot Mr. Lin's mobile phone number? Just talk if you forgot, we have it here." After pouring the tea and putting the teapot back to its original position, Hong Guang glanced at Chen Zhuo , some puzzled.

"This, Lao Hong, Lao Wang." Chen Zhuo hesitated for a moment, and decided to speak directly, wanting to pave the way for them to accept it better, but they didn't appreciate it and were in such a hurry.Chen Zhuo was angry, angry that he hadn't figured out a solution, and then vented his anger on Hong Guang and Wang Jin's urging.Reason, if it is manifested when emotions erupt, its effect can be maximized, but the effect of reason is usually manifested after the emotion erupts and the matter is over.Just like the truth, it can only be true if it is proved with blood and tears.

"On the way to Mr. Lin, I have already called Mr. Lin." Chen Zhuo said softly.The voice was very soft, but the effect was not light. The smiles on Hong Guang and Wang Jin's faces paused for a moment.And at this moment, the question they were thinking about was that they called Lin Feng in advance, what did he say, did he want to swallow part of the undecided share about Lin Feng, if this old Chen I did, what should I do? ...

No wonder Hong Guang and Wang Jin are overhearted.This is an inherent loophole. The three editor-in-chiefs have negotiated about the share of the short story about a bowl of soup, but they only negotiated a part, the part about themselves, Lin Feng's share, they They want to discuss it, but they can't. Helping Lin Feng decide, it's not that they don't have the guts, but it's inappropriate. It's appropriate to give more or less.As much as there is, that's how much.Moderate, who knows that people will say something coldly, it's just right.In order to prevent such an ugly situation from happening, they decided after discussion that they should let Lin Feng speak for himself, and first define the rules for his own share and stamp it with the law.This is their contract.To put it bluntly, no matter how big Lin Feng's piece is, their share of the rest will be the same.Of course, when they first calculated, they first gave Lin Feng a fixed share, otherwise it would be difficult to calculate. This fixed share is Lin Feng's lion's mouth in "Harry Potter".However, while Lin Feng was scrupled, this also became a loophole that could or could not be said to be a loophole.

Saying no, there is an irreparable loophole of Lin Feng in this loophole.If Lin Feng wants to benefit greatly, he can talk about it, he can open his mouth to negotiate, and he doesn't need to cooperate.Say yes, because this can indeed become a loophole for someone to gain greater benefits. The irreparable loophole is because of Lin Feng, but if you ask Lin Feng about such a thing, it is not only the loophole that gets hit.No matter what the previous relationship is, since it is handed over to you, then you are a team.For the team, the external responsibility is always collective.

"Cough, what did Mr. Lin say? What's his opinion on the share?" With a cough, he recalled his wandering thoughts, Hong Guang asked, the smile on his face remained the same as before, without any change.

"Sigh." Chen Zhuo sighed. He saw the momentary change in the smiles on Hong Guang and Wang Jin's faces just now, and he knew that they wanted to make a mistake.If so, don't worry about them thinking about it, you don't have to bother thinking about what to say just now, forget it, just think about it, with a clear conscience.Although he knew that he had a clear conscience and was unreliable in dealing with others in the mall, Chen Zhuo really had no choice.I can't write a small storybook like a bowl of soup by myself, one is okay, two are okay, one is okay, stop making trouble, with this ability, I would have led Fanxing to the whole empire long ago.

"Mr. Lin didn't say anything about the share, and I didn't say the specific figure. A bowl of soup-like short story has been condensed into a book. From Mr. Lin's words, it can be heard that the book has already been written, and the permanent publishing right of the book has been obtained by Lin. Mr. gave it to someone else. As for which publishing house, I didn’t ask, and Mr. Lin didn’t say, I don’t know. Our discussion last night and the notarization this morning are useless.” Editor-in-Chief Chen Zhuo said lightly, not loudly, very lightly.If it can be weighed, it should be lighter than a feather.However, his lightness was not intentional, but he was a little tired.

Yesterday, the fight over interests lasted until night, and the lights of thousands of houses were extinguished by seven thousand, and they got up in a hurry this morning. Although they dressed up in a hurry, it was only external after all.Since last night, I have been able to appear full of energy and spirit, relying on my mind, and having that belief in my heart to support it.But now, all of them are abandoned, the energy and spirit have collapsed, and people are floating.In the past two days, fatigue has come like a tide.If you are weak, you will float away.The two are combined, and the feather is too heavy.

"Old Chen, this joke is not funny." Hong Guang frowned and said softly, suppressing the smile on his face.

"It's been a while, I still have time to make jokes. The joke was just finished, and now it's gone." Chen Zhuo chuckled twice and said.

"Old Chen, you can't do things that push you to the limit. If you do too much, it's easy to put yourself in. It's a good thing to be good at seizing opportunities, but it's too greedy, and it's easy to hold on. If you talk to Mr. Lin on the phone, old Chen, Then say what is correct and what should be said, if not, then stop joking and call quickly, everyone is very busy." The smile on Wang Jin's face did not disappear, it was still smiling brightly and gently, I just feel it with my heart, but I can't feel the warmth, but a bit more chill.It seems that what the light rain outside brings is not the coolness of summer, but the bone-chilling winter.

"Oh." Chen Zhuo sighed again, "You two, what I said just now is correct. What should be said is that Mr. Lin has already handed over the publishing rights of the book to someone else."

"Hehe." After listening to Chen Zhuo's words, Hong Guang and Wang Jin looked at each other with half-smiles and said nothing.

Obviously, they don't believe it.

Chen Zhuo picked up the cup on the table, took a sip, put it down, and rubbed his forehead with his hand.If he hadn't said this, or heard Lin Feng say it, he wouldn't have believed it.In terms of time, two days have passed and it has been fully finalized. I won't talk about this matter. Maybe both parties are looking at mung beans.But for things like permanent publishing rights, how could someone be able to hand over all of them?It's completely illogical. The financial exchange rate or something will change.The stewed meat will become more and more delicious in the future, but because I bought too much jerky this time, I can’t eat it anymore, what should I do?As for, they want to get the permanent publishing rights from Lin Feng, isn't that person Lin Feng?Lin Feng is not an ordinary person.It is precisely because it is Lin Feng that the publishing rights belong to others.

Alas, why is it Lin Feng?Chen Zhuo couldn't help but want to sigh.It's Lin Feng, this matter is not unusual at all, but why is it someone else's.But if it weren't for Lin Feng, there might not be these stories. It's really a cycle of contradictions.Facing the disbelief of the two allies, Chen Zhuo sighed.He understands, but he doesn't want to accept it.It doesn't feel good to be too greedy, to get ahead and be told about yourself.

"Lao Hong, Lao Wang, look at my powerless demeanor now, you should know that what I said is true, wouldn't I be able to do this if it wasn't such a big blow? Why do you have to be in disbelief? Going forward, greedy, Please don't use such words to describe me, I can't bear it. It's too difficult to adapt to the things I haven't done before." Putting away his thoughts, Chen Zhuo said to Hong Guang and Wang Jin, with a smile on his face, a wry smile , laughing bitterly.

"Old Chen, just kidding. You can accept what you said just now. If it is serious, this matter is a bit difficult to accept. Are you joking?" Hong Guang looked at Chen Zhuo and asked seriously.He was really serious, just now he thought that Chen Zhuo wanted to play tricks again, but now seeing Chen Zhuo's bitter smile, his attitude involuntarily changed.At least, look calmly without benefit.

Wang Jin didn't speak, but he did the same, looked at Chen Zhuo seriously, and quietly put away the smile on his face.Just kidding, there is no time, and I have to go to the company to arrange work in a while.

"It's true. Mr. Lin has handed over the permanent publishing rights to another publishing house. Although the contract has not been signed yet, but according to Mr. Lin's opinion, everything has been finalized, and the formal contract is just short of signing." Chen Zhuo He nodded solemnly and softly.

After a pause, he said again. "We have fought for so long in vain, we have spent so long brainstorming, and we have fetched water from the bamboo basket. However, we are not wronged. It has not been a day since Mr. Lin and a bowl of soup have been tossed about. The permanent publishing rights have been taken down, no matter what method is used, it is a skill."

Chen Zhuo, who didn't know the inside story, made up a picture in his own mind and told Wang Jin and Hong Guang.

Wang Jin and Hong Guang didn't speak immediately, they were both silent. They now believed the news Chen Zhuo said, and they understood Chen Zhuo's attitude as they knew the basics.They just didn't know what to say about the news to Chen Zhuo.

The light rain outside the window is still falling continuously, and it seems to be falling more tightly than before.A lot of things seem to start hurting people once they get dense.It's starting to hurt.

However, there are too many surprises and surprises in a short period of time, which can be said to be dense, and this denseness hurts the heart.The big ups and downs are the most hurtful. Although this matter is not a big one, it is not a small one.

For a long time.

"Oh, fetching water from a bamboo basket." Hong Guang said with a sigh.

"It's nothing." Wang Jin answered, and said with some self-deprecation, "The three of them fought for a long time, and it turned out that each of them was a fisherman."

……

……

The early morning of Fengshi is accompanied by light rain, which does not show poetic and picturesque charm, but just makes people more hurried.

There is no rain in Kyoto, but no one has ever stopped.

Oh, no, in Longteng University, Lin Feng's footsteps did stop.Because someone blocked the way.

Putting the phone back in his pocket, Lin Feng looked at the person in front of him, although he was a little puzzled, he still asked politely.

"Old sir, what's the matter with you?"

The person in front of Lin Feng was an old man of medium size, thin but fleshy, wearing a pair of old-fashioned gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes were bright, his eyebrows were righteous, and his hair was not the usual one for old people. The flowers are white, or pitch black, into off-white.At first glance, whether it is the first impression or the second impression, it gives people the feeling of being very energetic and powerful.

"This classmate, before I talk to you about the business, let me correct you a mistake, a very critical mistake. I am not an old man, I will enter the ranks of the elderly in terms of age at the end of this year, and my mentality I'm very young. Didn't you see that all I wear is sportswear? Do the elderly wear this when exercising?" The old man said to Lin Feng gently at first, then sharply.

"Uh..." Lin Feng was a little dazed, he instantly thought of a character, the person he thought of was named Zhou, this couldn't be the real version, could it?
"Of course, I have to explain that I am only young, not that I still have a childlike innocence. My heart is in a good period of dedication to work and creating brilliance. If you regard me as the character in the martial arts novel written by that young writer That old urchin was wrong. Got it?" When Lin Feng was in a daze, the old man in front of him started talking again.

As the breeze blows, the leaves on the trees on both sides of the campus road rustle gently, shaking the light and shadow cast by the sun.

In the light and shadow, Lin Feng seemed speechless.

　Five thousand.

　　good night!
