Seeing that this colleague's behavior of asking for an autograph was not harshly criticized, other staff couldn't help it. Slowly, the number of people surrounding Gu Cheng changed from one, to five, and then to seven.

By the end, everyone from the publishing house had gathered around, asking for Gu Cheng's signature.

"Mr. Gu, my daughter likes your works very much. Can you sign it for me too?"

"There's me, there's me, I like it too,"

Gu Cheng's hands were already piled with books, most of which were his last books, and some came over with copybooks and asked for autographs.

"Okay, everyone, please pause for a moment. Don't be crowded. Let's come one by one. I definitely won't leave immediately today, so everyone has a share. Everyone, please line up and come one by one in an orderly manner."

Gu Cheng shouted loudly. After all, the people working in the publishing house were all graduates of literature majors with high academic qualifications. The crowding just now was just caused by losing control of emotions after suddenly seeing a writer he liked. After Gu Cheng reminded him in words,

, and also restored basic order and sanity.

The guy with glasses who was signed by Gu Cheng first did not leave. He stood there and maintained order. Each person held the book he wanted to sign in his hand and signed one after another.

When Yu Qi received the news from the front desk, Shi Huo came out of the conference room to greet him and saw the scene in the hall like this.

Almost everyone was not at their seats. There was a makeshift table in front of Gu Cheng. He was sitting on a chair with a smile on his face. He walked up to someone and asked.

"Hello, what's your name? Can you sign here? OK, thank you for your support, I will continue to work hard."

When Yu Qi saw this situation, he was not angry at all. He just stood there and waited quietly for everyone to hold the signature book in their hands with satisfaction and gather together in twos and threes to discuss before speaking out.

"Okay, I got this signature too. Everyone, work hard. When the new book is released, I will ask Gu Cheng to give each of you a signed new book. I will also arrange for him to take a photo with each of you, so everyone

Work hard, after all, Gu Cheng has signed a contract with us, and we will spend a lot of time together in the future."

Seeing his subordinates in high spirits, Yu Qicai took Gu Cheng back to his office.

"Brother, you are treating me as free labor. Just now I had the illusion that I was actually a carrot hanging on a rope, attracting the donkey to move forward."

Gu Cheng rubbed his wrist with a half-smile, looked at Yu Qi and said.

Because he hasn't experienced this situation many times, Gu Cheng is not too proficient in the field of signatures. Compared with the veteran writers who have already practiced and made flying signatures, he is still a little immature.

"Hi, you are also considered a member of our company, but the way we cooperate is relatively free, but aren't we all colleagues? It is normal for colleagues to help each other, right?"

Yu Qi's expression was a bit resentful and he murmured a few words. Gu Cheng didn't bother much about this issue. After all, what he agreed to was not a big deal. Besides, the colleagues at the publishing house were also considered to be practitioners in this industry.

People, this group likes their own books, and the sense of accomplishment it brings them is incomparable to the sense of accomplishment brought by ordinary book fans.

"You, your fame is really getting bigger and bigger day by day. When you come to the company, this place is almost held as your autograph session. It's really amazing."

Yu Qi picked up the tea cup in front of him, took a sip, looked at Gu Cheng in front of him and sighed.

"This is all with the help of my senior brother. If you hadn't promoted me, my manuscript might have been buried in the trash can of other publishing houses."

Gu Cheng's attitude was very calm, and he looked directly into Yu Qi's eyes. He really did think so in his heart. So far, the cooperation with Haohan Publishing House has been smooth, and there has been no such mess. If it were done in other publishing houses,

The company will definitely encounter various problems. Let’s not talk about the royalties. It will definitely not be as superior as it is now. Another issue is the problem of publicity resources.

It is not as sufficient as it is now. After all, other publishing houses also have popular writers. If Gu Cheng joins, he will inevitably allocate some resources and will also be attacked by other writers.

But it is different in Haohan. Gu Cheng is still very satisfied with the current situation and has no thoughts of changing the publishing house for the time being.

Yu Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Gu Cheng's words. He had just held a conference call with the big boss and the board of directors of the publishing house. The request above was very simple, that is, to try his best to close the relationship with Gu Cheng, so as to

Qiu's subsequent works were also published by Haohan Publishing House.

No matter which industry you are in, competition is very fierce. In the past, Haohan Publishing House relied on its reputation as an established brand to sign many emerging writers. However, after investing a lot of resources in the early stage, they were poached by other publishing houses.

Go away, this kind of thing has caused a serious psychological shadow to the boss above.

He was afraid that Gu Cheng would follow in the footsteps of those writers and be defeated by his opponent's money offensive, so he specifically told Yu Qi that he must retain this writer who could save the publishing house from its current disadvantage.

"I believe you have also received calls from other publishing houses. I won't say anything more. No matter what conditions the other party offers, you can tell me directly. Our company will improve on the basis of others. For now,

Say, Chengzi, there is really no company more suitable for you than our publishing house."

Yu Qi refilled Gu Cheng's teacup and gave his guarantee. He was right about one thing. Judging from the calls he had received so far, no publisher really offered conditions comparable to those of Haohan.

.

Moreover, Gu Cheng does not want to bear the reputation of being ungrateful in the future. Although this kind of reputation is not worth mentioning in terms of money, Gu Cheng's goal is not only to obtain monetary gifts, but also to improve his status, so he still cherishes it.

of one's own feathers.

The main purpose of his coming today was to take a look at the cover and illustrations of his new book. After Yu Qi finished the process of winning people's hearts, he took out a folder from his desk, which contained the exact contents selected by the publishing house.

Several covers and illustrations of.

"Come on. Take a look. The illustrations are specially made by masters in the industry. These illustrations cost our publishing house a total of nearly 100,000 yuan."
