My dear you

Back in C City, Bai Xiaoyu started his busy and happy work again

In the past, we all read books in paper version, but now we tend to read books in electronic version, which is convenient, free and comfortable. Open your mobile phone anytime, anywhere, and you can read widely. This trend has affected the survival of publishers, or rather, their survival.

Large domestic publishing houses have a stable foundation and policy support, which is relatively good. Private enterprises like them, which only have certain copyright, are really squeezed out of breath.

Recently, I heard a bad news that the company is going to lay off employees. Although it's just a piece of gossip, it hasn't been decided yet, but there is no wind without fire. Everyone is very careful to keep his job, for fear that he will be fired if he makes a little mistake.

Bai Xiaoyu has always been serious and rigorous in her work. Naturally, she will not make any mistakes. However, she will be more cautious in unusual times.

"Sister Yu, have you heard? The company may lay off employees... "Lily whispered in Bai Xiaoyu's ear.

Lily is a new intern. She has no experience in the society for the first time, and she is more straightforward. Although Bai Xiaoyu joined the society earlier than her, they are of the same age, but Bai Xiaoyu is her predecessor in the unit, so lily is used to calling her sister. She likes to consult Bai Xiaoyu when she has any problems, and their relationship is very good.

"Shh -" Bai Xiaoyu made a low voice gesture.

"Maybe it's just everyone's conjecture. Don't talk nonsense with your work at ease..." Bai Xiaoyu's voice is also very low, for fear that others will hear him.

If the news is false, then spreading rumors will only make people more unstable. If the news is true, then the company will not clearly point out the layoff, because "layoff" is not good both inside and outside. However, it is the company's business. They can't decide. What they can do is to do their work well.

"Oh, I see!" Lily covered her mouth comprehensively. "Then I'll work." Then he turned around and continued to stare at the computer in front of him.

"Xiaobai, the director asked you to go to his office!"

"Oh, yes!" Bai Xiaoyu got up, went to the door of the director's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in..."

Bai Xiaoyu gently opened the door and said with a smile, "director Sun, you call me?"

Sun Chengwu put down his information and pushed the glasses on his nose. "Xiaobai, how many years have you been in the company?"

How could this director Sun suddenly ask this question? Her heart is beating. It's not related to layoffs, is it? Think of here, the heart beat faster.

She pursed her lips and nodded, "almost four years..." when she spoke, she always paid attention to sun Chengwu's expression, for fear that he would say something she didn't want to hear.

"There's one thing I want you to do."

Fortunately, it's not about layoffs after all. Bai Xiaoyu was relieved, and his nervous mood calmed down a little. "You can tell me about work!"

Sun Chengwu picked up a few pages of paper and said, "this is a contract. Recently, he signed a new work. The writer will come to C City tomorrow. You can take this contract with you and ask him to sign it."

"Isn't Lucy always dealing with the contract?" She was a little surprised that she always did office clerical work, even if individual things need to contact with the author, it's just email communication. This time she was asked to take the contract to see the author herself, which she didn't understand.

Sun Chengwu was not surprised by her questions. "Indeed, Lucy is responsible for all the things signed. She just asked for leave these two days. You have been working in the company for a long time. I think it's good for your development to contact with some new things. What do you think?"

Lucy was fine yesterday, but she asked for sick leave today. Bai Xiaoyu thinks it's strange... But it's not her own decision to be sick. Naturally, she won't think much about it. Besides, as a subordinate, does she have the right to refuse? Besides, what sun Chengwu said is also reasonable. She should contact some new things, so she nodded.

"Well, I'll do it."

Sun Chengwu handed the contract to her. "Lucy has already communicated with her about the relevant matters. The task is very simple. You just need to send the contract to, and then bring back the signed contract." Then he handed her a writer's card.

"Well, I see!"

Before he left, sun Chengwu repeatedly told him, "this author is very important, and may continue to cooperate in the future. We must get the contract back smoothly."

"OK, supervisor sun, don't worry." Lucy has already communicated with each other. The subsequent signing of contracts is relatively simple. Although she has not personally played, she has "never eaten pork, and has not seen a pig run".

Out of the office, back to the station, she picked up the business card, saw the author's name is "Ou Yangfeng", she almost didn't smile, why not call it "Hong qigong"! She hasn't read many novels recently. She hasn't heard of the name.

Lily saw her expression, and came over again, "little sister Yu, what are you laughing at? What's the good news? Let's share it!"

Bai Xiaoyu pointed to the name on the business card with his eyes, "have you ever heard of this author?"

Lily picked up her business card and said, "of course, Ouyang Feng knows! The popular novels such as the red world drunk, the magic sword and the TV series the four seas overlord are written by others

"I'm really old..." Bai Xiaoyu couldn't help sighing. He thought that he was also a novel fan at the beginning. After reading romantic novels, he knew only a few authors. She knows little about the "new talent in the literary world" now.

"But I know the pseudonym, but I haven't seen Ou Yangfeng himself. What's the matter, little sister Yu?"

"We're going to publish one of his works. I'll sign a contract with him and go tomorrow."

"Really Lily excitedly grabs Bai Xiaoyu's hand. "When you see me, remember to ask for an autograph, OK?"

"No problem." From Lily's eyes, Bai Xiaoyu sees who she was at the beginning. In order to get CY Jun's signature, she helped the study committee to correct her homework for two hours. As a result, the study committee gave her a copy of her signature. It's very angry and funny to think of it.

After work, Bai Xiaoyu took the initiative to contact the writer named Ou Yangfeng and learned that he would arrive in C City at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

"When will be convenient for you? Let's make an appointment?"

The other side thought for a few seconds, "after getting off the plane, I have some other things to deal with. The location is near the airport. I'll contact you then."

"Good..."

There is no exact time. I only know that he will arrive at C City at about two o'clock. Fortunately, he has made clear the location. After all, there is still a distance between the unit and the airport, so that she can at least make some preparations in advance.

On the day of signing the contract, Bai Xiaoyu got the approval from the leader and didn't have to go to work in the company. However, the director specially stressed that she should not be too casual when meeting customers. She is the face of the company when she goes out to meet customers. Is that to let her dress up?

It's just that I haven't bought any clothes for a long time. I'm used to wearing work clothes at ordinary times... Now when I see customers, I really don't know which one to wear. What's more, I don't have a few clothes to choose from in my wardrobe
