There is no need for the editor-in-chief Yu Qi to deliver this kind of thing personally. Firstly, because Gu Cheng is his junior brother, choosing their publishing house this time really gives him a hand when his career is in jeopardy. On the other hand, he also sees that

Now that he has come out, his junior brother is really talented. He may have made a wrong career choice before and became a reporter. Now he has become a writer and may skyrocket. He must take advantage of this moment to win over this high-quality writer.

The relationship between writers and editors has always been complementary to each other. Good editors are everywhere, but good writers are not so easy to find. Many editors rely on the writers they sign to become their own masters and lead writers into partnerships.

He opened a publishing house, and now the top five publishing houses in China are all established in this way.

The relationship between him and Gu Cheng is, to put it mildly, that of an alumnus or senior brother. However, in this society, only interests can connect the two people together, and other relationships are not strong.

"No need to bother me, senior brother, I'll do it myself..."

Gu Cheng was about to say that he would come and pick it up, but as he finished speaking, he remembered that he was no longer the free man who could go wherever he wanted. He glanced at Youyou in the cradle and shook his head helplessly.

"Well then, senior brother, you come over to my house. I remember the last time we had a drink together was five years ago when we passed our thesis."

Gu Cheng recalled the past and invited.

"Okay, then you must have good wine. I won't quit so easily without good wine."

In order to avoid socializing, Yu Qi's excuse to others was to quit drinking. However, at home, he would have a few drinks in his spare time. However, Gu Cheng was not an outsider, and there was no need to play these workplace tricks.

"Don't worry, the ten-year-old bamboo leaf green is the most authentic bamboo leaf green that I brought back from Qiyu and bought from a large bamboo farmer."

Gu Cheng smiled and glanced at the wine cabinet in his entrance hall. There was a jar on the top.

As soon as Yu Qi heard about Zhuyeqing, his mouth watered. This is the most traditional wine in China, and its output is rare. It is difficult to buy authentic Zhuyeqing, let alone one that is ten years old.

The Zhuyeqing mentioned here is an ancient wine-making method. Sorghum wine is poured into bamboo seedlings. After the bamboos grow, small holes are cut, and the wine is mixed with the fragrance of the bamboos, flows into the container, and passes through various processes.

After fermentation and processing, it not only has a soft taste, but also has a refreshing fragrance.

The communication between literati still follows the ancient warm water conversation. The last time Yu Qi drank this wine, he was lucky enough to go to the home of a literary master and have two glasses. He has never forgotten the taste of the wine.

"Okay, I'll be right over. Leave the wine for me."

Gu Cheng couldn't help but shook his head when he heard the phone being hung up hastily and the sound of a stool being knocked away as he stood up.

Yu Qi here is no longer in the mood to wait for the time to get off work. As the editor-in-chief of a publishing house, he is certainly not like other employees in that his working hours are flexible.

He walked to the door, straightened his expression, put away his surprised expression, and turned into his usual serious face.

"Hello, editor-in-chief,"

As soon as the door opened, subordinates passing by outside greeted him one after another.

"Work hard."

He patted a new intern on the shoulder, gave a few words of encouragement, and then left the publishing house with the other person's fearful and grateful expression.

It is estimated that all the employees of the publishing house would not have thought that their boss would run out during working hours just to drink.

After Yu Qi left, the atmosphere of conversation resumed in the publishing house.

"Eh? Did you know that a new book signed by our publishing house is very exciting. It is said that many literary critics have been consulted and they all think it has the potential to be a big hit. I really envy our editor-in-chief's connections. I am about to be questioned by the boss.

, I directly used my connections to find the junior student who wanted to publish a book, and it seems that this critical moment has been passed."

This is an old man from a publishing house. His current position is centrist. He will not get involved in the fight between his superiors and just sit back and watch the storm.

"Tch, what is it? I don't know if it will be popular or not. There are many books that everyone liked, but the market did not accept it and only sold 80,000 copies. It is not the end yet. Who knows what will happen."

This is the group of Yu Qi's opponents, who are also the deputy editor-in-chief of the publishing house. They have always been dissatisfied with Yu Qi taking the position of editor-in-chief at such a young age. They are always watching Yu Qi and are ready to pull him down if he makes a mistake.

"I still think our editor-in-chief is great. He graduated from Huaguo University and has a wide network of contacts. Last time, when the writers of our publishing house published a book, so many literary newspapers helped promote it. Isn't this the result of our editor-in-chief's support?

?”

This is the intern who was encouraged by Yu Qi just now. Hearing that the other person didn't seem to think highly of the editor-in-chief, he immediately retorted, and his face turned red with excitement.

The workplace is a small society where everything can happen. Maybe a colleague who is chatting with you with a smile in front of you will give you a small report in front of the boss the next second, or maybe your hard-working independent creativity will be taken away by your boss in the blink of an eye.

Plagiarism.

It was precisely because Gu Cheng didn't want to go through these complicated things that he resigned from his original employer.

By the time Yu Qi came to the other party's downstairs with gifts and sample books for Gu Cheng, it was almost five o'clock.

He looked up at the building where Gu Cheng lived, and sighed in his heart. Some people are born with good luck. Take Gu Cheng as an example. He used all his savings to buy a house and borrowed part of it from him. At that time, he persuaded him to

The other party should not invest blindly.

Thinking about it now, it's a good thing that the other party didn't listen to me. The current housing prices are changing day by day. The speed at which I make money can no longer keep up with the growth rate of housing prices.

He was filled with bitterness when he thought that he was still renting a house. Now he could only hope that Gu Cheng's book would become a big hit. As the editor-in-chief, he would not only get a share of the performance, but also receive a large year-end bonus from his boss at the end of the year.

, in this case, with his savings, he can also buy the four-bedroom apartment he has been thinking about.

After looking at the building number and recalling the way he came last time, Yu Qi went upstairs with hesitation. It had been two years since he last came here. Two years ago, he came here because he had something to do with Gu Cheng.

Just a quick glance. In the past two years, I have somewhat forgotten how Gu Cheng’s family changed.

Most of the time he and Gu Cheng get together are in coffee shops or other places, or at each other's homes, which is really rare.

After walking around for a few times, there was really nothing he could do. He no longer cared about whether he would be embarrassed or not. He took out his phone and dialed Gu Cheng's cell phone.
