Chapter 164: Coffee and Starlight
Wangjing.
Editorial Department of Dingmin Chinese website.
Unlike Chicheng, which is dilapidated, as the first portal for online literature, Dingmin Chinese.com, as soon as you enter, you can feel an atmosphere of prosperity.
The office and the corridors are full of busy people with their heads down.
Edit five groups.
Xingguang was frowning, looking at the form on the computer screen.
"If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be optimized..."
Looking at the red-marked data one by one, Xingguang couldn't help but feel a headache. As an editor, he had to accept assessments, but the writers under him were really not up to par...
"Xingguang waste, what are you still doing? Get ready for the meeting!"
A clear voice sounded, instantly interrupting his meditation.
Starlight looked up blankly, it was coffee.
Both of them are editors of the fifth team of the Dingmin Chinese website, but they are both relatively marginal, and they don't have many good authors.
However, just like the authors, being able to sneak into the finish line can, to some extent, prove that their standards are much higher than those of the editors at the Chicheng Chinese website!
"Is it time yet?"
Starlight looked at her watch in confusion, "Damn it, it's really true!"
After saying that, Xingguang quickly stood up and walked towards the conference room along with the coffee.
"But Coffee, what exactly is the purpose of this sudden meeting?"
"I don't know either." Coffee looked weird and shook his head.
Although she claims to be a know-it-all in the entire Internet literary world, she has not found out clearly what the purpose of today's meeting is.
It's obscure and has a weird flavor everywhere.
"However, there is a piece of news. I don't know if it is related to today's meeting?"
Coffee came close to Xingguang and lowered his voice and said, "It is said that there are certain personnel changes at the top."
She pointed vaguely at the ceiling, with a meaningful look on her face.
"Variety?"
Starlight stopped and looked around carefully.
Seeing no one around, he lowered his voice again and asked, "What's the change?"
"I don't know if this news is accurate."
A hint of cunning flashed in Coffee's eyes, and he whispered: "I heard... someone was airborne."
"Airborne."
Xingguang frowned. As a competent social worker, he had already developed a set of standard rules for survival in the workplace. This was also the biggest reliance he could rely on to survive at the end of the line even though he had no good writers.
But coffee is different.
To put it bluntly, coffee is also an airborne soldier.
After graduation, she became addicted to Internet writing. She visited various major websites and wrote many books, but most of them were abandoned.
In a fit of anger, she decided to become an online article editor. Her family originally planned to build a website for her to play with, but Coffee refused. Finally, through drawing lots, she decided to become the editor of the Dingmin Chinese website.
However, she keeps a low profile. Except for some senior executives of the Dingmin Chinese website, almost no one knows her identity.
"Yes, airborne! I don't know what it means."
"Then this meeting..."
"I think it's probably a meeting with the new leader?" Coffee said a little unsure.
"Just...the two of us?"
"As far as I know, it's just the two of us."
Xingguang's expression was bleak, and she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
As we all know, the Internet literature industry has not been very prosperous in recent years, although Dingmin.com can still occupy the top spot in the Internet literature industry by relying on its foundation.
But the challenges we face are getting bigger and bigger.
The rise of free websites such as Tomato and Bamao are constantly challenging it and impacting its head position. At the same time, like Chicheng, he is facing the dilemma of not being able to continue his work.
Most authors write books to make money, but free websites such as Tomato and Bamao have a more fair recommendation mechanism, allowing more writers to see the possibility of becoming gods and invest in them.
's embrace.
Of course, the Dingmin Chinese website has also launched many measures, but the results have not been great.
"We won't be...expelled, right?"
Thinking of the current situation of the website, Xingguang couldn't help but feel a little trembling.
Looking at the weak starlight in front of him, Coffee raised a trace of disdain at the corner of his mouth and said in his heart: "Fire me, who dares to fire me."
However, he still took the initiative to express comfort: "Let's go first and see the situation before we talk. I think it shouldn't be..."
The two people walked and talked, and soon arrived at the conference room.
No one else had come yet, so the two of them found a corner and sat down.
Coffee yawned, took out his cell phone out of boredom, and started looking for people to talk about.
Because of her status as an author, she has already successfully extended her reach to various author groups on various websites. Therefore, through chatting, she can learn about the dynamics of many other websites, including gossip.
For example, recently, she got involved in a reader group called Tomato Fairy. The group leader is a street writer from Chicheng, but she speaks quite coquettishly.
Hmm...Sister Coffee likes it very much.
Xingguang, on the other hand, opened his notebook with a serious look on his face and studied the data of his author.
From this point of view, he is considered a relatively reliable editor.
"Click."
Just then, the door opened.
I saw a group of men in formal attire filing in, finding a seat one by one and sitting down.
Starlight quickly stood up with a humble expression, while Coffee curled his lips and stood up with a disdainful expression.
The leading people were strangers, at least, Starlight had never seen them before.
At the end of the team, with a dog-legged look on their face, was the editor-in-chief of the Dingmin Chinese website and the chief editors of their five groups.
So... the identity of this traveler can be said to be clearly revealed!
Looking at the editor-in-chief's submissive expression, Xingguang felt a little dazed for a moment.
"Who...are these people?"
Xingguang tilted his head and asked in a low voice: "Did we go to the wrong conference room?"
"Trash, how is that possible!" Coffee curled his lips with disdain, but there was also a little curiosity on his face.
"Why are you still standing there stupidly!"
The editor-in-chief on the side tugged Xingguang's sleeve forcefully.
Hearing this, Xingguang and Coffee hurriedly sat down, lowered their heads slightly, and kept looking at the unfamiliar faces.
"look."
Coffee pushed his cell phone in front of Xingguang.
On the screen of the mobile phone, there was a piece of news from some time ago...it was about the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement between the Dingmin Chinese website and a certain portal website.
Looking at the picture accompanying the news, Xingguang was surprised to find that the people on the news picture were not the same men who appeared in the conference room?
"President...General Manager..."
It took him a long time to identify the figures and names of the men in front of him one by one.
"Firing me as a small editor... it won't take such a big battle!"
Xingguang's eyes were distracted and he murmured to himself.
"Are you stupid?"
Chapter completed!
