Chapter 20
This kind of thing does not need Yu Qi, the editor-in-chief, to deliver it in person. One is because Gu Cheng is his younger brother. Choosing their publishing house this time really helped him whose career was in jeopardy. On the other hand, he also saw that Yes, my junior brother is really talented. He may have chosen a wrong career before. He became a reporter, but now he becomes a writer.

The relationship between writers and editors has always been complementary. Good editors are everywhere, but good writers are not so easy to find. Many editors rely on the writers they sign, and they turn themselves over and become masters, bringing writers to partner A publishing house was opened, and now the top five publishing houses in Huaguo are established in this way.

And the relationship between him and Gu Cheng, to put it mildly, is the relationship between alumni and seniors, but in this society, only interests can only connect the two of them together, and other relationships are not strong.

"You don't need to be so troublesome brother, I myself..."

Gu Cheng just wanted to say that he would pick it up at the door, but he remembered it after he had said it. Now he is not a free person who can go wherever he wants. He glanced at Youyou in the cradle, and shook his head helplessly.

"How about this, brother, you come to my house, I remember the last time we drank together, it was five years ago when our thesis was passed."

Gu Cheng recalled the past and invited.

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

In order to avoid socializing, Yu Qi always gave up drinking as an excuse to the outside world, but on weekdays at his home, he would have a drink or two in his spare time, but Gu Cheng is not an outsider, so there is no need to play these workplace routines.

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

Gu Cheng smiled and glanced at the wine cabinet in the entrance of his door, there was a jar on top of it.

As soon as Yu Qi heard about Zhuyeqing, his mouth watered. This is the most traditional wine in Huaguo, and the production is scarce. It is difficult to buy authentic Zhuyeqing, let alone ten-year-old wine.

The bamboo leaf green mentioned here is an ancient wine making method. The sorghum wine is poured into the bamboo seedlings. Fermented and processed, not only the taste is soft, but also a sense of fragrance.

Interaction between literati still follows the ancient style of warm water discussion. The last time Yu Qi drank this wine, he was also fortunate to go to a literary master's house and drink two glasses. The taste of the wine has always been obsessed.

"Okay, I'll come right over. Keep the wine for me."

Hearing the phone being hung up in a hurry, and the sound of a stool being knocked away from the opposite side, Gu Cheng shook his head involuntarily.

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

He walked to the door, straightened his face, restrained his surprised expression, and changed to his usual serious face.

"Hi, Editor-in-Chief,"

As soon as the door was pushed open, the 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 party's expression of fear and gratitude.

It is estimated that all the employees of the publishing house would never have thought that their boss ran out during working hours to drink.

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

"Eh? You know, a new book signed by our publishing house is very exciting. It is said that after consulting many literary critics, they all think that there is a possibility of a big hit. I really envy our editor-in-chief's personal connections. I am about to be blamed by the boss." , they directly mobilized their contacts to find a student who wants to publish a book, and it seems that this dangerous hurdle has passed."

This is an old man in the publishing house. The current team is a centrist. He will not get involved in the struggle of his boss and just sit back and watch the situation.

"Tch, what's the matter? I don't know whether it will be popular or not. How many books that everyone is optimistic about, but the market doesn't accept it. There is only a precedent of selling [-] copies. It's not the end yet. Who knows what will happen."

This is Yu Qi's opponent and the faction of the publishing house's deputy editor-in-chief. They have always been upset that Yu Qi took the position of editor-in-chief at a young age.

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

This is the intern who was encouraged by Yu Qi just now. Hearing that the other party seemed to dislike the editor-in-chief, he immediately refuted, his face flushed with excitement.

The workplace is a small society, where there are all kinds of things. Maybe a colleague who is smiling and chatting with you in front of you may type your small report in front of the boss in the next second, or your hard-working independent creativity may be occupied by the boss in a 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 unit.

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

He looked up at the building where Gu Cheng lived, and he was full of sighs. Some people are born with good luck. Take Gu Cheng as an example. Back then, the other party used all their savings to buy a house and borrowed part of it from him. The other party should not invest blindly.

Now that I think about it, it’s a good thing that the other party didn’t listen to me. The current housing prices are changing every day. The speed at which I earn money alone can’t keep up with the growth rate of housing prices.

He thought that he was still renting a house, so he was full of bitterness. Now he can only hope that Gu Cheng's book will be a big hit. As the editor-in-chief, he will not only get a share of his performance, but also get a big year-end bonus from his boss at the end of the year. In this way, with his own savings, he can also buy the four-bedroom apartment that he has been thinking about.

Looking at the building number and recalling the way he came last time, Yu Qi went upstairs with hesitation. It has been two years since he came last time, and he came here two years ago because he was looking for Gu Cheng for something. Just a quick glance.In the past two years, I have somewhat forgotten how Gu Cheng's family reform went.

Most of the gatherings between him and Gu Cheng are in cafes or other places, and it is really rare to go to each other's home.

After turning around a few times, there was really nothing he could do. Now he didn't care about whether he would lose face, so he took out his phone and dialed Gu Cheng's cell phone.

"Which building is your house in? I kind of forget it. I'm old and forgetful. Oh. That building? Then I'll pass by. Wait for me. I'll be right there. Which floor is it? Okay."
