The two of them were so busy that they had to work together.

Yang Xiaolan returned to the Orchid Publishing House with a happy face.

She sat in her office and laughed foolishly.

This time it was like a pie in the sky falling on her head.

It turns out that the more beautiful you are, the better your luck.

In the past, she met the super beautiful writer Xie Lei, and the publishing house made a lot of money from her books.

Now she has met the world's great writer Zhang Hao.

He said that it would be three books, sister books.

And it would be published in any country in the world.

She took on all these things.

How much benefit and advantage does this have.

She must ask for a salary increase, a bonus, and a house.

At least she has to pay the down payment.

Whose contribution is greater than mine?

"Manager Yang, I heard that there will be layoffs and salary cuts. Are you still laughing? Everyone is crying."

A clerk sighed and said, "The publishing house is not doing well. We can't support it anymore. It's time to leave."

"What? Layoffs and salary cuts?"

Yang Xiaolan was shocked.

"The notice has been issued. The salary will be cut by 10%. Layoffs will be 20%."

The clerk said.

"Don't worry, I can turn things around. Not only will there be no layoffs, nor will there be salary cuts, but salary increases will be made instead."

Yang Xiaolan was full of confidence, and her beautiful eyes sparkled.

Holding the world's first masterpiece that has never been seen before and will never be seen again.

What is there to worry about?

She walked towards the editor-in-chief's office with a USB flash drive.

"Could it be that Manager Yang got another good book? It won't be Xie Lei's new work, right? But it's hard to turn things around."

The clerk was a little confused.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Yang Xiaolan knocked on the door and walked in.

Editor-in-chief Pang Sanyuan was frowning and looking at a list, making circles and crosses on it.

As soon as he saw Yang Xiaolan, he looked expectant, "Manager Yang, does Xie Lei have a new work?"

"No, she is still thinking about it, and she will not start writing until next year."

Yang Xiaolan said.

"That's it."

Editor-in-chief Pang Sanyuan sighed.

"Are we really going to lay off employees and cut salaries?"

Yang Xiaolan asked.

"There's no way. We have been losing money and it's hard to pay salaries."

Editor-in-chief said, "You are also among those to be laid off. Pack up and go to the finance office to collect your salary."

"What? I was laid off?"

Yang Xiaolan couldn't believe it. She was a very important editor.

And she was laid off while holding a world-class masterpiece?

Isn't this too absurd?

"There's no way. Of course, layoffs will cut off those with higher salaries. Your salary is only second to mine. So, you know."

Editor-in-chief Pang Sanyuan said.

"But... I found a very good science fiction work, which will definitely sell well. Maybe it can turn the tide and save the publisher's predicament."

Yang Xiaolan was stunned for a long time before speaking.

"Science fiction work? Haha, even if it is a top masterpiece, so what? The current physical books are shattered by online novels. The more science fiction, the worse it is. Isn't it good to have unrestrained online science fiction novels? The terrible thing is that there are countless such online science fiction works. There is no market at all."

Editor-in-chief Pang Sanyuan said.

"Editor-in-chief, don't jump to conclusions yet. Take a look, okay?"

Yang Xiaolan said patiently.

"No need to read it, you have been fired now. Go to the finance office."

The editor-in-chief touched his bald forehead and touched his hands with oil.

But his words were ruthless and chilling.

"Then don't regret it."

Yang Xiaolan looked at the editor-in-chief with contempt and turned and walked out.

"If you had gotten Xie Lei's new work, I wouldn't have fired you. But you didn't."

The editor-in-chief muttered, "I won't start writing until next year, and it will probably be finished by the middle or end of the year. Then I have to meet her in person..."

Yang Xiaolan quickly went to the finance office to settle the bill.

Then she returned to the office to pack up and leave.

"Manager Yang, what happened to you?"

The clerk asked.

"I was fired. Goodbye."

Yang Xiaolan said angrily.

"What? You were fired too?"

The clerk exclaimed, "Didn't you just say that you were going to turn things around and give everyone a raise?"

"You..."

Yang Xiaolan was so angry that she couldn't speak.

She glared at her fiercely and walked out with her bag.

Goodbye, the publishing house where I worked for five years.

I have to find a new job.

"I just accidentally hit Manager Yang in the face. You are so pretty, you have such a high salary, you attract so many people, and you are so arrogant. How can you not be fired?" The clerk was embarrassed for a moment and said jealously.

Lotus Publishing House, conference room.

Editor-in-Chief Su and Yang Xiaolan sat opposite each other.

Editor-in-Chief Su is in her forties, female.

Elegant, gentle, and feminine.

The scent of books is particularly strong.

She looked at Yang Xiaolan's resume and said softly, "I admire your ability and am willing to hire you. But, as you know, physical publishing is not doing well now, and our Lotus Publishing House is not doing well either. We may have to lay off employees and cut salaries. If you come, do you dare to make a promise? That is to find a super outstanding masterpiece as soon as possible. Give our publishing house vitality..."

"I found a world-shaking masterpiece, take a look at the beginning..."

Yang Xiaolan handed over the USB flash drive.

"I'm looking forward to it."

Editor-in-Chief Su was very happy, and immediately opened it on the computer and started reading.

Soon, she was completely addicted.

Her face was full of shock, and her eyes were full of blazing flames.

It wasn't until she finished reading these 50,000 words.

She woke up.

"Oh my God, a top writer has appeared in our country?"

General Manager Su's face was filled with ecstasy, "Our Lotus Publishing House is saved, no, it will rise completely. We must sign him, sign him at the highest price."

She grabbed Yang Xiaolan's shoulders tightly, "I will immediately handle the entry procedures for you, increase your salary by 20%, and give you a three-bedroom, one-living-room house. But, you must sign him for me, and all his works in the future will be published by our Lotus Publishing House."

She knew the rules of the trade very well and did not ask who the other party was.

Catching Yang Xiaolan also caught the author.

"Editor-in-chief, the author has conceived a trilogy, each with 3 million words, and plans to translate it into many foreign languages ​​and sell it to any country. I have also taken this matter."

Yang Xiaolan said again.

"Great, I will double your salary. A 120-square-meter suite, with your name on the property certificate. What do you think?"

General Manager Su said.

"But the author wants 70% of the profits..."

Yang Xiaolan's face was filled with excitement and excitement, and she said again.

"Promise him."

Su did not hesitate, "We can make a lot of money if we publish it in countries around the world. I believe this set of books will sell over 100 million copies."

"Over 100 million copies?"

Yang Xiaolan was stunned.

Isn't Chief Editor Su too optimistic about this book?

The total population of the earth is only over 10 billion.

"I mean, it will take decades to sell over 100 million copies."

Su said, "A total of 9 million words, which means 45 volumes, 100 yuan per volume, that's 4,500 yuan, even if it sells 100 million copies, that's 450 billion."

"Editor-in-Chief Su, don't count it, I'm having a heart attack."

Yang Xiaolan covered her chest, a little overwhelmed.

"I will also give you a bonus, a huge bonus..."

Su's eyes lit up, and he became more and more excited.
