1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 567
The news that Lin Weimin will be promoted to the editor-in-chief of the Guowen Society is no secret these days. When Lin Weimin was arguing with Cheng Zaochun in the office of Cheng Zaochun about the performance appraisal system of the editorial department, someone overheard a few words.

A few days later, Lin Weimin led a team to visit Huacheng Publishing House, which further confirmed everyone's speculation about this matter.

In the past few days, colleagues who are familiar with him always come up to him mysteriously when they see him, and ask, "Wei Min, I heard that he is going to be promoted?"

Many colleagues in the agency didn't know about the episode of the promotion. Many people thought that Lin Weimin's promotion to the editor-in-chief was a matter of course, but they didn't know the efforts Cheng Zaochun and Wei Junyi made behind the scenes.

December flies by, I have a day off on New Year's Day, and then I have to go to work.

January 1991 came, and the first issue of "Contemporary" also came. If there is no accident, this issue should be the last issue of "Contemporary" hosted by Lin Weimin.

On the day the publication was released, Lin Weimin specially bought a copy at the newsstand in the morning.

The cover design of "Contemporary" is as simple as ever, with a solid color background, and the title, issue number, and the name of the headline work are printed on it. Lin Weimin rubbed the cover with a bit of reluctance in his heart.

When I came to the Guowen Society, early in the morning, just after the sun came out and the temperature outside had not risen much, a group of people were already standing in the courtyard. Everyone gathered around the bulletin board, discussing a lot.

Seeing Lin Weimin coming, colleagues immediately surrounded him.

"For the people, congratulations!"

"What is it called for the people? It should be called the editor-in-chief now."

"Yes, congratulations to the editor-in-chief!"

A red vote (not a typo) document with the seal of the superior department was posted on the bulletin board, on which was the appointment of Lin Weimin as the editor-in-chief of the Guowen Society.

Everyone's tone was either envious or ridiculed, full of joy.

Lin Weimin has always had a good reputation in the society. Over the years, both his work and writing achievements are obvious to all. He is kind and fair, which is convincing.

The only shortcoming is probably his age. He is only in his early thirties this year, and he has become the editor-in-chief of the Chinese Literature Society. Looking at the Chinese publishing industry, he is also a unique existence.

However, this is not a big problem. Over the years, Lin Weimin's reputation in society has gradually risen to the point where his colleagues look up to him. No one will underestimate him because of his age.

I accepted the congratulations from my colleagues, joked a few words, and it was past working hours.

Lin Weimin came to the second floor of the back building and knocked on the door of the editorial department of "Contemporary".

"Old He, come to my office."

Everyone's eyes were on He Qizhi in an instant. Everyone saw the announcement on the bulletin board just now. Lin Weimin was promoted to the editor-in-chief. What is meant is self-explanatory.

He Qizhi got up a little excitedly and came to the office.

Lin Weimin poured him a cup of tea, and said with a smile, "Why I called you here, you should know why?"

He Qizhi had a silly smile on his face and didn't speak.

Lin Weimin said to himself: "The leader handed over the position of editor-in-chief to me, so I can no longer manage the affairs of "Contemporary" by myself. You are my senior. You have worked hard in your work these years, and your achievements are obvious to all. I have been away from home for a long time, and the editorial department is running in an orderly manner in your hands, and I am relieved to entrust the work to you."

He Qizhi couldn't hide the excitement in his heart after hearing Lin Weimin's almost explicit words, "Thank you, Weimin..."

Lin Weimin smiled and said, "You don't need to thank me. I'm thinking about treating guests to dinner in two days."

He Qizhi calmed down a little now, and joked, "It's you who should invite me."

Lin Weimin pointed at him, "You are old and cunning."

"I'm giving you a chance to buy people's hearts."

With a few jokes, Lin Weimin said seriously: "Old Cheng will talk to you in a few days, and think about how to advance the work in the future."

"clear!"

After the conversation, He Qizhi left the office feeling like walking was windy.

Lin Weimin looked at his back, and couldn't help but recall the time when he was asked by the leader to talk to the office a few days ago.

He can fully understand He Qizhi's joy in changing places.

He Qizhi returned to the editorial office briskly, and was immediately surrounded by everyone.

"How? How? Old He!"

"What did Weimin talk to you about?"

"Nonsense! Is there even a need to ask? Of course it's a promotion!"

The crowd surrounded He Qizhi with chatter, he was more cautious, and he didn't answer everyone's questions, he just smiled when he asked.

Seeing his attitude, everyone couldn't help attacking him.

"This person is really boring. When he becomes a leader, he immediately stops getting close to the masses."

"That's right. I'm shaking before I take office. If I take office, I don't know how to torment everyone!"

He Qizhi could only smile helplessly in the face of the ridicule and ridicule of his colleagues. In this editorial department, the leader really has no authority!

As soon as the announcement on the bulletin board was posted, people from the general affairs office came to move Lin Weimin.

Colleagues in the editorial department of "Contemporary" are still a little reluctant.

"For the people, I want to come back and visit us when I have time."

Lin Weimin said helplessly, "It's just that we moved to the front building, and it's not that we left the third ring road."

Only then did everyone laugh and laugh, and send Lin Weimin to the front building.

Helping the editor-in-chief move, everyone worked very hard. If one person didn't talk about two or three books in one hand, everyone was exhausted.

The editor-in-chief is one of the troika of the Guowen Society. He not only has a separate office in the front building, but also has an editor-in-chief office to assist him in his daily work.

The editor-in-chief's office, as the name suggests, is an institution that implements the work intention of the editor-in-chief, but its functional work is not limited to this.

The editor-in-chief's office of most publishing houses is just a general office, responsible for handling daily trivial editorial work, and is often dubbed "miscellaneous".

The editor-in-chief of a small number of publishing houses is the authority and decision-making department. The publishing plan and publicity strategy of the publishing house can almost all be determined, which can be said to be the "central nerve" of the publishing house.

The job function of the editor-in-chief of the Guowen Society is a combination of both. It does not have that much power, but it should not be underestimated.

Lin Weimin didn't have anything in the office, and the move was over within half an hour.

"Director Ma, you have worked hard!"

"Editor-in-chief, you are too polite, just tell me if you have anything to do."

Director Ma is the person in charge of the General Affairs Office. He smiles at everyone and always knows how to do things.

It used to be called Editor-in-Chief Lin Weimin Lin, but now it saves the word and is directly called Editor-in-Chief.

There may be several editor-in-chiefs in a publishing house, but there will only be one editor-in-chief.

After taking office, Lin Weimin did not treat guests to dinner like before, but familiarized himself with the business step by step. Although he was familiar with most of the colleagues in the agency, after all, the position was different now, and it also needed a certain amount of time to adjust.

In the past, he was in charge of "Contemporary", thinking about how to make a publication a good one, and the main energy was on reviewing and organizing manuscripts.

Now he is in charge of the publishing business of the entire Guowen Society. Most of the administrative affairs in the society are taken care of by Cheng Zaochun, the president, and the party affairs are taken care of by the secretary. His core job has become book writing.

However, Lin Weimin's top priority now is not to write a book, but to implement his own ideas.

There are three fires for the new official to take office, and his first fire has already been prepared.

The new week's regular meeting was Lin Weimin's first public appearance in the club after taking office, and he was ridiculed by everyone after entering the door.

He is young, even if he becomes the editor-in-chief, it is difficult for the veterans in the agency to feel awe.

The regular meeting was presided over by Cheng Zaochun. After a few words, he handed over the right to speak to Lin Weimin.

"Some time ago, I led a team to visit Huacheng Publishing House. You should know that everyone should have seen the documents on the table. In the past few years, the domestic publishing and book market were full of flowers, and the publishing house was very prosperous. But these two years This year things are a little different.

Prices have risen a lot, and many readers have put their pursuit from the spirit to the material. Coupled with the impact of piracy, the sales of various books are steadily declining.

If this trend cannot be stopped in time, the blow to our publishing house will be unprecedented, so we must be prepared to fight tough battles. "

When everyone listened to Lin Weimin's speech, they didn't pay attention at first, but seeing his serious face with a bit of majesty, they couldn't help paying attention.

"As the old saying goes, you need to be strong to strike iron. To fight a tough battle, we must be prepared. Our Guowen Society is a national-level publishing house. I have never worried about hard power, but there are some problems that cannot be ignored."

When Lin Weimin said this, he looked at Li Xin, "Over the past year, colleagues in several editorial offices in the agency have successively proposed to resign, and they are all the backbone of the editorial office. It is the prime of life when these colleagues resigned. The reason, I think everyone should know the reason even if I don’t say it.”

"Salary, titles, benefits, old comrades joined the company earlier than young people, and it is understandable that they have advantages in these areas.

But the only thing is that there should be no seniority at work.In the past two years, some comrades in the agency have not completed their own work enough. There may be various reasons for this, and we will not go into it.

What I want to say is that everyone is an editor, and their job titles may be high or low, and their professional ability may vary, but the workload will not deceive people. We cannot let some people do a lot of work, but they are not as good as those who do less work. There are many people.

If things go on like this, it will be very detrimental to the ecology of our entire society, let alone retaining talents.

What I am saying here is not aimed at veteran comrades. Comrades Jiang Lu and Comrade Wang Yangchen are veteran experts in the society. They have always worked hard and worked hard.

Therefore, I plan to implement the editorial department performance appraisal system in each editorial office after March.

Next, I will give you a detailed interpretation of this document..."

The content of the performance appraisal system documents of the editorial department is not much, and the content of more than a dozen pages of 16 letter paper covers all aspects of the daily work of the editorial department, and more importantly, it fully quantifies the content of these tasks.

A few seemingly insignificant pieces of paper may have a profound impact on the Guowen Society.

All the directors of the editorial department who participated in the meeting flipped through the documents on the table with different expressions.

Many of them secretly observed the expressions of the president and the secretary when Lin Weimin was publicizing and implementing the documents.

When everyone thought that Lin Weimin, the editor-in-chief, was taken off his shoulders by Cheng Zaochun, they fully understood.

It seems that this reform is imperative.

　Recently, I suffered from cervical spine pain, neck pain, and toothache. After a few days, I couldn’t take it anymore. I spent a day in the hospital today, and the test results were not bad.

　　The lumbar spine and cervical spine were taken for X-rays, and there were no major problems, except ligament calcification, fasciitis, and taking medicine and rest.

　　Thyroiditis was detected in the neck, which is related to high-intensity work. I am still taking medicine for the time being, and I will go for a re-examination next week.

　　For the time being, two updates will be maintained. The health is critical. I hope everyone understands.
