And Gu Cheng didn't show any deliberate liking for these compliments. He just quietly went through the brewing work before making tea in front of his own tea set.

To be honest, the tea ceremony culture in China is relatively prosperous. Almost every move of the person making tea contains profound meanings that people cannot easily distinguish. This is also the reason for the long history and culture.

In the past, Gucheng's tea-making was naturally very simple and crude. He almost put the tea leaves into the tea cup and poured the hot water into it, which was considered to be the completion of the work. However, since his last business trip, he has also learned about some related cultures, so

Now I am naturally a lot more cautious when making tea.

There are many steps to make tea. First, rinse the tea set, then put the tea leaves in and pour hot water over it. Then pour the tea that has washed away the dust on the surface of the tea leaves elsewhere, because most of the tea brewed in the first pot is

It is very bitter and is used to entertain guests, so the natural taste is not that perfect.

When waiting for the second pot, pour an appropriate amount of tea in front of each guest's tea set. Pay special attention when pouring the tea, because the tea is 70% full and the wine is full. If the cup is filled to the guest all at once, then

It seems like there is some intention to drive people away.

The principle of sending guests off with tea has been passed down since ancient times. If it were Gu Cheng before, he might not have a better understanding of these etiquettes, but now he has undergone simple training and is quite familiar with some basic tea ceremony etiquette.

More familiar.

While listening to Yu Qi's chatter, Gu Cheng continued to work on his hands, pouring a cup of warm tea for each guest who came over, as well as for himself and Jiang Ning next to him.

Tasting the bitter taste of the tea at the beginning, the sweet taste soon returned in his mouth. As his age and experience increased, Gu Cheng gradually began to like tea and the tea ceremony process of brewing tea.

, I feel that it contains a lot of philosophy of life, and every move seems to have a corresponding meaning.

Seeing Gu Cheng's lack of energy, Yu Qi was really helpless. He also knew that his actions at this time were a bit too much. After all, his new book was just handed in less than a month ago, and now he

It does seem a little unreasonable to continue to force the other party.

But looking at it from his own point of view, it is true that the publishing house needs a new book by a writer with appeal as the focus of publicity for the new year's masterpiece. The other writers signed by the publishing house all seem too immature, so he has to put his own

He continued to focus on Gu Cheng, who kept feeling guilty for his actions, but still had this forced look on his face.

"Chengzi, don't blame senior brother. You don't know the pressure that senior brother is under now. For publishing houses, the two most important aspects of the entire year are the year-end inventory and the opening of the new year. You also know

Senior brother was slowly promoted to this position, and now he shoulders a lot of responsibilities. If you can't hand in a satisfactory answer, both the boss above and the subordinates below will criticize your senior brother's work.

of."

Yu Qi deliberately pretended to be very embarrassed, and poured out all the bitterness in his heart to his junior brother.

Although what the other party said was indeed the dilemma he encountered, it was far less threatening and embarrassing than what he said.

For the entire publishing house, Yu Qi not only has outstanding business capabilities, but also has his own strong network resources. He also controls the top dark horse writers who make up the current publishing house. He can even rely on the performance of the other party to win over him alone.

2/3 of the annual income of the entire publishing house. I believe that unless the boss's brain is blocked, such an excellent manager will not be able to easily cause trouble for the other party, and will only do his best to appease him.

But on this basis, Yu Qi also wants to make the publishing house better and better. The works of a publishing house at the beginning of the year will be watched by almost all peers and readers. If they are very excellent, they will be important for the next one.

The whole year's work will play a great supporting role, and I have searched all my friend circles. Except for Gu Cheng who can help me, others seem to be a little unable to do what they want.

"You should be my senior brother who is helping you, and take advantage of this time to sort out the details of the new book. Even if we are on holiday, we will have all aspects of it, with professionals to cooperate, and at the same time speed up the work. At the beginning of the new year,

I immediately regard your work as the target of strong promotion, and use it for almost all the publicity channels of the entire publishing house. If the sales result does not reach 5 million, I will pay for the rest."

As for Gu Cheng's plan for the new book, Yu Qi had had a deep understanding and general detailed discussion with him before. Just from the few words revealed during these chats, Yu Qi could guess based on his own experience that if Gu Cheng had not released the book

As for myself, the sales performance of the new book will definitely not be any worse, so I dare to make a big promise to the other party, and the sales volume of 5 million is almost a benchmark in the industry. Almost all writers who have achieved this result have

He is one of the most prosperous writers of this era, and Gu Cheng obviously has the qualifications for this achievement now.

Seeing that Yu Qi had already said this, Gu Cheng was a little helpless. It was indeed very difficult to be chased and intercepted by the opponent during this period.

However, he believed that his senior brother definitely did not adopt this method out of his original intention. If it was not because he really needed such a book to help him establish his current status, Yu Qi would definitely not adopt such an undignified way to pester him.

.

After all, he is a well-known figure in the industry. He has probably not done this kind of shameless behavior for a long time. Looking at Zhang Li and Yu Qi in front of him looking at him with very expectant and eager eyes, his attitude is also a bit...

It's loose.

"Brother, according to my plan, this book should not follow the same path as before. According to my idea, it is a love story with a relatively hazy consciousness, and what kind of ideas and concepts should be expressed specifically, as well as the book

I'm not quite sure whether it will be popular with everyone."

Maybe it's because when writing mystery novels, many villains in the book do some things just to express the evil in their hearts. This feeling makes Gu Cheng feel that it is not very appropriate, so in the next book
Chapter completed!
